試題分析:本文講述了一個(gè)失意的有錢人,盡管有錢但是他一點(diǎn)都感覺(jué)不到快樂(lè)幸福,相反,他內(nèi)心充滿了悲傷與空虛。一天他想跳河去結(jié)束自己的生命,但是一個(gè)乞丐的一番話卻讓他幡然醒悟,意識(shí)到了幸福真正的含義。

1.A.渴望; B.貧窮;C.悲傷;D.成功。But表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,表明后面的內(nèi)容和前面happiness相反,而且根據(jù)and后面的emptiness也可以判斷此空應(yīng)該填表示負(fù)面情緒的詞,故答案選C。

2.A.斗爭(zhēng) ;B.想知道;C.管理;D.計(jì)劃。從下文可知他沒(méi)有自殺,所以此處是表示他只是想這樣做,intend to do “打算”,故答案選D。

3.A.接近;B.打擾C.勸阻;D.叫喊。interrupt 表示打斷別人說(shuō)話,persuade指說(shuō)服某人做某事,而shout指向某人大喊,從故事發(fā)生的情景可以判斷,乞丐是向他走過(guò)來(lái),故答案選A。

6.A.遠(yuǎn)處;B.向;C.邊;D.在下。從上文可知這個(gè)人站在橋上打算跳進(jìn)河里去結(jié)束自己的生命,由此判斷他一邊說(shuō)一邊朝下看著河水,故答案選D。

7.A.態(tài)度;B.命令;C.;D.禮貌。從上文可知這個(gè)人感到生活失意,打算跳河自殺,所以態(tài)度是非常消極的,其他選項(xiàng)不符合語(yǔ)境,故答案選A。

8.A.高興;B.匆忙;C.無(wú)望;D.慷慨。從情景推測(cè)乞丐看到這個(gè)人說(shuō)話的表情,態(tài)度時(shí),應(yīng)該是迅速把錢還給了他,此處修飾動(dòng)詞return,應(yīng)該用描述動(dòng)作的詞,故答案選B。

9.A.震驚;B.害怕;C.擔(dān)憂;D.鼓勵(lì)。從情理可知乞丐是因?yàn)楦F才去靠乞討為生,別人給他錢他卻不要,所以這種行為是讓人費(fèi)解,令人吃驚的,故答案選A。

Researchers are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people's depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated (刺激),” Edwards points out. “The problem is how we promote that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”

In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.

“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “When I'm watching TV, he'll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”

The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.

“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog because it was metal and not furry,” Beck says. “But it's amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”

“Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people's minds.”

1.The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to ____.

A. understand human-animal relationship

B. find the causes of old people’s loneliness

C. make lonely old people’s life better

D. promote the animal-assisted research

2.In the research, the old people are asked to ____.

A. note the activities of AIBOs

B. keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks

C. analyze the collected information

D. record their feelings and activities

3.What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?

A. It can watch TV with its owner.

B. It can help the disabled people.

C. It responds to all the human orders.

D. It is easier to keep at home.

4.The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may ____.

A. keep old people active

B. cure certain diseases

C. change people's beliefs

D. look more like real dogs

Coffee is a powerful beverage.On a personal level,it helps keep US awake and active.On a much broader level,it has helped shape our history and continues to shape our culture.

Coffee didn’t take off until the l400s when people figured out they could roast its seeds.By the l500s,the drink had spread to coffeehouses across the Arab world.Within another l50 years,it took Europe by storm.

“It actually had a major impact on the rise of business,” historian Mark Pendergrast says.Coffeehouses became a spot not just to enjoy a cup but to exchange ideas.The insurer Lloyd’s of London was founded hundreds of years ago in one of London’s 2,000 coffeehouses.Literature,newspapers and even the works of great composers like Bach and Beethoven were also spawned(涌現(xiàn))in coffeehouses.

It is often said that after the Boston Tea Party of l773,when American colonists attacked British tea ships and threw boxes of tea into the harbor,Americans universally switched over to drinking coffee.In a letter John Adams wrote to his wife,Abigail,the Founding Father claims his love of tea but says he will have to learn to embrace coffee instead,because drinking tea had become a symbol of not loving the country.

For all the upsides coffee has brought the modern world,it also led to its fair share of downsides,too.Europeans carried coffee with them as they colonized various parts of the world,and this frequently meant they enslaved people in order to grow it.In Brazil — where slavery was legal until l888 — coffee plantations would use slash-and-burn agriculture,tearing down rain forests and planting coffee trees.Once the soil had been exhausted,growers would move on to another place.

And yet,coffee,as Pendergrast says,”had a very good impact in many ways on our civilization,even though it was,for a long time,grown by slaves.”

1.Why did people enjoy going to coffeehouses?

A.Because it was a fashion to drink coffee.

B.Because coffeehouses provided a better flavor.

C.Because they could stay awake and active there.

D.Because they could exchange ideas there.

2.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?

A.American colonists made great profits by trading in coffee.

B.Tea was regarded as a symbol of loving one’s country.

C.Coffee became very popular after the incident in Boston.

D.John Adams was the Founding Father of the Tea Party.

3.In the fifth paragraph.the writer points out that __________ .

A.Coffee plantation was closely connected with slavery

B.coffee plantation led to outdated agriculture in Brazil

C.slavery in Brazil had been against the law until l888

D.slavery was responsible for the damage to rainforests

4.What is mainly talked about in this passage?

A.Some interesting stories about coffee culture.

B.Important Roles that coffee played in history.

C.How coffee became the most popular beverage.

D.How coffee affected America’s independence.

Is there something that you’ve always wanted to try but just never have the time? Well, make plans to try it now since you are on summer vacation. Not all vacations call for taking a tour bus to take photos of famous landmarks. Some vacations allow you plenty of opportunities to learn.

The most difficult aspect of a learning vacation may be choosing one because the possibilities are endless. If you enjoy cooking, various companies can take you to Italy, France, Spain, Mexico or even Peru. Once there, you can learn to prepare the local cuisine(烹飪). Trips are often planned to fit in with local food festivals or special events.

The term “l(fā)earning vacation” often brings language to mind. The best way to learn a language is in an environment where it’s spoken. Study Spanish, French or English. Or attempt a more unusual language like Polish, Estonian or Thai. You’ll be able to learn about the country and absorb the culture at the same time.

If you are fond of sports, you can polish your skills or learn new ones. Golf and tennis schools welcome players of all levels. If you want a bigger thrill, you can learn to surf, go climbing or race cars. It’s ever possible to learn the art and techniques of bull fighting while on vacation!

You can also discover your inner artist. Many places offer painting classes in different mediums. The scenic locations of the schools offer plenty of subjects that provide inspiration for practice.

If you prefer capturing the world on film, take a photography vacation. Travel with a small group to photograph beautiful animals or scenery. You can also practice your technique on people or at historical sights.

Once you decide on a vacation, choose a company carefully. Request names of recent customers you can contact, and then ask them for an evaluation(評(píng)價(jià)). The more you know before you go, the better prepared you’ll be. Then go out and learn something!

1.Why is it hard for you to decide on a learning vacation?

A. Because it is hard for you to make plans.

B. Because the possibilities are unlimited.

C. Because there are many good foods from abroad.

D. Because there’s too many food festivals or events.
