I thin the job is getting to be too much for me.”“It will cost 10 dollars,” Jamie said. “If that’s O,” Mar a dded.“Oh dear,” Mrs. Grady said disappointedly, “I haven’t been able to get to the ban. I can offer homemade cooies, but I realie that’s not what you had in mind.”Mar was going to say that Mrs. Grady could pay them another time, but Jamie cut him off. “We’ll come bac later.”Mrs. Grady doesn’t loo lie the person who’d come to Mar’s rescue last summer when Mr. Dunn’s dog Goldie had just wanted to play, but Mar didn’t feel comfortable around big dogs. He wanted to call for help, but his tongue seemed loc ed behind his teeth. Then Mrs. Grady’s front door had flown open. She must have seen him from across the street. “Hold on, Mar. I’m coming!” “Goldie” she’d called. As soon as Goldie had turned her head, Mrs. Grady had slipped between Mar and the dog. She wasn’t much taller than Mar, but she’d stood firm as a roc in front of him. “Goldie, go home!” Then she’d swept her broom to hurry the dog along. “Get!” Goldie had obeyed.When Mar showed thans to Mrs. Grady, Mrs. Grady laughed. “It was nothing. Good neigh bors watch out for each other, don’t they?”And now Mrs. Grady needed Mar as much as he’d needed her last summer.

However, their ability to recognie human faces from photos alone is novel.The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, shows the woolly creatures could be trained to recognie still images of human faces, including those of former President Barac Obama and actress Emma Watson.Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognie the images for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognie images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to do so declined by about 15 percent — the same rate at which a human’s ability to perform the s ame tas declines.“Anyone who has spent time woring with sheep will now that they are intelligent, individual animals who are able to recognie their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and moneys.”Recogniing faces is one of the most important social sills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, affect this ability.“Shee p are long-lived and have brains that are similar in sie and compleity to those of some moneys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntingt on’s disease, that develop over a long time and affect cognitive abilities. Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change,” Morton said.8. According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep?A. They have large brains.B. They can recognie human faces from photographs.C. They can tell animals from humans.D. They can recognie their owners.9. How did the researchers train the sheep?A. By guiding them to follow their handlers.B. By showing photos of famous people.C. By showing photos of humans and moneys by turns.D. By giving food rewards.10. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The new discovery is beneficial to the study of cognitive ability changes.B. The sheep’s face-recognition ability stays the same when shown photos at any angle.C. Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than moneys.D. The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain.11. What’s the passage mainly about?A. A Wonderful ScientistB. How Sheep Recognie Each OtherC. A New discovery about SheepD. The Life of SheepDThe word tolerance is widely used in liberal democracies(自由民主). It indicates a positive meaning. Politicians urge us to be tolerant towards minorities. Educators teach us to be tolerant towards the other. The press is full of references to the need to display tolerance when faced with individuals or groups espousing(拥护) a different view or holding a different religious belief. A tolerant society is an objective sought after by anyone who believes in the values of democracy. A tolerant individual is attributed(认为……是) with virtuous qualities.The question we must as is whether we have been using the word tolerance fully aware of its meaning and whether we have applied it correctly to reflect what we really wish to convey.The word tolerance means to bear, or to bear with. If I tolerate something or someone, I basically say that I am ready to bear it or him. I can tolerate a bad smell or a noisy neighbour. The act of toleration forces me to desist from conveying my objection to the eistence of a phenomenon, which I find difficult to bear. A bad smell or a noisy neighbour is considered by me to be an objectionable phenomenon. By tolerating either of them, I am not transforming the bad smell or the noisy neighbour into positive phenomena. Let's be honest I don't have a different taste when it comes to bad smells. I simply dislie it and wish that it disappears. I don't respect the noisy neighbour. I would rather have him stop at once the noise he is maingso I can live in peace.A tolerant attitude involves the grant(授给物) of a favour, not a right. The question we should as ourselves is whether we would ever wish a parliament(议会) to mae laws according to certain actions interpreted as a favour rather than a right? Indeed, would we ever wish anyone to listen to our views and accept us the way we are simply because he is ind enough to tolerate us?12. The first two paragraphs are mainly intended to show that __________.A. tolerance is a symbol of liberal democraciesB. people’s understanding of tolerance is one-sidedC. democratic society always advocates toleranceD. tolerance can be applied to many situations13. The underlined part “desist from” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________’.A. denyB. dislieC. stopD. eep14. The eample of a bad smell and a noisy neighbour is raised to indicate that _________.A. tolerating them isn’t a virtuous actB. most people find them hard to tolerateC. the writer isn’t prejudiced against themD. the writer are fed up with them15. The best title for this p assage should be “___________”.A. Tolerance and respectB. What is to be tolerated?C. Should people be tolerant?D. Is Tolerance a Virtue?第二节（共5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
