Test 2Ⅰ.阅读理解AThey already guide blind and disabled people；now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆) or Alzheimer’s.Alzheimer’s can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing and drinking enough water.The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers(触发器) in the home that make them perform tasks.The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine，as well as encouraging them to eat，drink and sleep regularly.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled.The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples，where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia.670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65 will develop the condition.By 2021 this is expected to rise to million.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said，“People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life，and dogs help to maintain routine.” Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship.Ms Gray said，“The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets.It’s such a strong bond that people often remember them longest.People don’t need to communicate verbally(口头上) but they can still interact.You can have a speechless bond.”Helen McCain，director of Dogs for the Disabled，said，“People with dementia often forget to take medicine.If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it there’s a greater chance of them taking it.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks，ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.”1.In Britain people with dementia .A.are likely to increase in numberB.are mostly over 65 years oldC.will be trained to respond to sound triggersD.will be able to live a relatively normal life答案 A解析细节理解题。

BKrakatau volcano (克拉克托火山) is in a small island in Indonesia. It had been peaceful for about 200 years before it erupted(爆发) in 1883.The first signs of the activity of the volcano appeared in May 1883，when fire and smoke could be seen at the top of the mountain.Great noise could be heard even in Jakarta a hundred miles ter the activity grew much greater.The peak(山顶) was covered with smoke and fire; the smoke at one time was seventeen miles high in the air.The lava—soft and hot rock—shot up into the air and rolled down the sides of the mountain.The mouth of the volcano was not at the peak of the mountain but on its side，close to the sea.As it grew bigger and bigger with the eruption，the sea water got into it.When the sea water reached the lava inside the volcano，it made the upper part of the lava colder and harder.And this sealed off (封住) the rest of the lava below.As the inside of the lava could not break through the seal，the pressure (压力) built up until the mountain blew up.The eruption of the volcano was followed by several earthquakes which brought about bad result.About 36,000 people were killed and many towns and villages near the sea were completely destroyed by the great waves which the earthquake caused.5.Give the correct order of the course of volcano eruption.①The peak was covered with smoke and fire.②Fire and smoke could be seen at the top of the mountain.③Great noise could be heard a hundred miles away.④The lava shot into the air and rolled down the sides of the mountain.A.①②③④B.①③②④C.②③①④D.④①③②答案 C解析细节理解题。
