Cloze TestThe money and the time we spend on pets is simply not our own to spend as we like in a time of widespread want and starvation. A 11 organization advertises that for $33 a month they can give hospital care to a child suffering from kwashiorkor-the severe deficiency disease 12 is simply a starving for protein. Doing 13 such a pet, and then sending the money saved to a relief organization would mean 14 a life-over the years, several human lives.Children not 15 from such a grave disease could be fed with half that amount-not on a diet like ours, but on plain, basic, life-sustaining food. It is not unreasonable to believe 16 the amount of money we spend on the average pet dog could keep a child 17 in a region of great poverty. 18 what we would spend on a cat might not feed a child, but it 19 probably pay for his medical care or basic education. The point needs no 20 . That is all that need be said.11. A. relied B. fund C. domestic D. medical12. A. why B. when C. where D. which13. A. with B. for C. against D. without14.

Reading ComprehensionPassage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “Why didn’t I real ize that Paul was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make up feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. If we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky boy” or “You’re a lucky girl”, that’s being friendly. But there’s a bit of envy in “lucky dog.” Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the st arving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His gesture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you many save another mistake.21. According to the writer, when people look back it is too late, because .A. mistakes have already been madeB. mistakes can made them feel badC. they are unaware of their mistakesD. they are doubtful of their friends22. People make mistakes when they fail toA. deal with others with due friendlinessB. hide their true feelings in what they sayC. realize they deserve what they have gotD. see the real meaning of what others say23. Judging from the phrase “just think of all the things you have to be thankful for”, it is clear that thespeaker actually lacks .A. optimismB. sympathyC. motivationD. courage24. To be a successful listener, one is advised to1. A. ask the speaker as many questions as he can2. B. observe the speaker as carefully as possible3. C. listen to the speaker as attentively as he can4. D. challenge the speaker as actively as possible25. The passage aims to tell readers how to .A. interpret what people sayB. interpret what money meansC. avoid mistakes about peopleD. avoid mistakes about moneyPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Doctors have long known that eating fish helps protect against heart disease. What they don’t know is why fish are beneficial. For years they figured it was a simple question of substitution: folks who replace red meat with fish are naturally cutting down their intake of saturated (饱和的) fat. But a growing body of evidence collected over the past 30 years suggests fish contain healthful elements called omega-3 fatty acids.Omega-3 fatty acids belong to a group of compounds known as polyunsaturated fats. These fats serve as the raw material for a whole host of essential structures in the body, from brain cells to molecules (分子) that regulate blood pressure.Since our bodies cannot manufacture their own supply of omega-3s, we have to get them from the food we eat, mostly from fish but also from plant sources like soybeans (大豆).The American Heart Association has recommended that everyone eat two 85-g servings of fatty fish a week. But the A.H.A’s expert panel wasn’t ready to declare that taking omega-3 pills will protect your heart. It’s just too easy to get more omega-3 than you need from pills, and the panel was worried that an excess could cause serious side effects, such as internal bleeding.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, however, allowed manufactures of omega-3 pills and fish oils to advertise the fat’s benefits—as long as the label does not suggest taking more than two grams per day.One thing is clear whether you get your omega-3s from pills, oils or fish: they are not cure-alls. You still have to eat a well-balanced diet that’s lower in total fat than most Americans currently consume.Otherwise, you’re fishing for troubl e.26. Doctors have long been puzzled by .A. why red meat is harmfulB. how beneficial fish areC. what makes fish healthfulD. how red meat is replaced27. We can learn from the passage that .1. A. human beings get omega-3s from their food2. B. omega-3s are only found in fish and soybeans3. C. omega-3s are the raw material for saturated fats4. D. polyunsaturated fats constitute human molecules28. The A.H.A. didn’t recommend omega-3 pills, because1. A. it had no knowledge of the safe dose of omega-32. B. it had no evidence that they can protect the heart3. C. the pills contain too little omega-3 to be helpful29. The FDA allowed manufacturers of omega-3 pills and fish oils to advertise omega-3’s benefits oncondition that1. A. their suggested dose is printed on the label2. B. their suggested dose is within the safety limit3. C. the fat’s potential side effects ar e mentioned4. D. the products contain side effects are mentioned30. The writer seems to suggest that1. A. omega-3s can balance one’s diet2. B. omega-3s can serve as a supplement3. C. an unbalanced diet is made worse by omega-3s4. D. a well-balanced diet contains enough omega-3sPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It was a terrible tragedy, six times more deadly than the Titanic (泰坦尼克号). When the German ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes (鱼雷) fired from a Russian submarine (潜水艇) in the final winter of World War II, more than 10,000 people---mostly women, children and old people fleeing the final Red Army push into Germany—were packed aboard. An ice storm had turned the dicks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into sea as the ship listed and began to go down. Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down. Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to get aboard. Most people froze immediat ely. “I’ll never forget the screams,” says Christa Nutzmann, 87, one of the 1,200 survivors. She recalls watching the ship, brightly lit, slipping into its dark grave—and rarely mentioned for more than half a century.The long silence about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was probably unavoidable—and necessary.By unreservedly confessing their country’s horrible crimes Germans have managed to win acceptance abroadand make peace with their neighbors. Today’s unified Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in its long, troubled history. For that, a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories like the German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay. But even the most politically correct Germans believe that they’ve now earn ed the right to discuss the full historical record. Not to identify German suffering with that of its victims, but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy.31. The Wilhelm Gustloff went down because1. A. it ran into an ice storm2.

A. set the decks on fire as a signal for help2. B. fought fiercely on the decks for lifeboats3. C. jumped into sea and swam to a nearby ship4. D. prevented others from getting on their lifeboats34.

C. spared not effort to cover up the story4. D. were denied access to the whole story35. It can be inferred from the passage that Germans no longer think that1. A. it is too early to claim responsibility for the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy2. B. the German tragedy is a reasonable price to pay for the nation’s past3. C. they will be misunderstood if they talk about the German tragedy4. D. Germany is responsible for the horrors it caused during World War II第二部分非选择题IV.
