Imagine living locked inside a closet. You can’t choose when and what to eat or how you will spend your time. You can’t even decide when the lights go on and off. Think about spending your whole life like this.

This is the life of lab animals.

Now consider the needs of these animals. Chimpanzees(黑猩猩),in their natural homes, are never separated from their families. They spend hours together every day. But in a lab, chimpanzees are put in cages alone. There are no families, only cold, hard cages, and loneliness that goes on for so many years that most of them lose their minds at last.

Worse yet are the experiments. Animals are given diseases they would never normally get. Experimenters force-feed(給……強(qiáng)行喂食) chemicals to them, conduct repeated surgeries(手術(shù)),and much more, Think of what it would be like to put up with these and then be thrown back into a cage, usually without any painkillers. Often animals see other animals being killed right in front of them.

Hundreds of thousands of animals are poisoned, blinded, and killed every year in product tests for shampoos, skin creams and new cancer drugs. Although more than 500 companies have stopped testing on animals, some of them still force chemicals into monkeys’ stomachs and rabbits’ eyes.

Although some facilities are better than others at caring for animals—not every lab worker kills a mouse by cutting off its head with scissors—there are no happy animals inside laboratories. Will the lab life end? When will it end?

The passage mainly tells us about        .

  A. animals’ lives in laboratories

  B. cruel experiments on animals

  C. the needs of animals in labs

  D. facilities used to care for animals

Animals in a lab          .

①are very cold, and in separate cages

②feel lonely locked inside a cage

③aren’t fed anything but chemicals

④are forced to undergo cruel tests

⑤are forced to eat chemicals

A.①③④          B.②③⑤        C.②④⑤         D.①④⑤

We can infer from the passage that _________.

  A. some companies have found ways to replace animal tests

  B. animals normally get no strange diseases

  C. animals are happy in labs with better facilities

  D. painkillers can change the results of experiments

The author’s attitude towards the future of animals for experiment can be described as _______.

  A. positive         B. worried         C. satisfied      D. disappointed

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：20112012學(xué)年四川省成都市高三入學(xué)考試英語(yǔ)試卷 題型：閱讀理解

Googlefight is a simple service available on the Internet which offers you the chance to compare two different items and see how many hits they get on the Google search engine. The seemingly simple device has proved invaluable to users, especially to help win arguments.

 For example, imagine that you and your friends are arguing about who are the most popular music or movie stars, you can decide the argument by writing the names in the Googlefight boxes. Let’s say that you are arguing about Jackie Chan and Jet Li. You will quickly discover that Jet Li is mentioned 16 million times on Google pages, whereas Jackie Chan is mentioned a mere 12 million times! In this unscientific way, you can claim victory for one Star over another.

But teachers have come up with ways of using Googlefight which are much more useful from an academic point of view, particularly when it comes to studying languages. You can, for example, find out the frequency of two words with the same meaning, and deduce (推斷) from the answers which one is more common. For example, let’s take the words “buy” and “purchase”, which mean the same thing (although “buy” is only a verb and “purchase” is both a verb and a noun). It is immediately clear from Googlefight that “buy” is much more commonly used, with a massive three and a half billion hits, compared to only one billion occurrences for the more formal word.

But the real value of Googlefight to the language learner is in determining which is the more common of two phrases. For example, “raining cats and dogs” is an old-fashioned English expression about the weather. Do English speakers still use it? Or are they more likely to say “pouring down”? Googlefight suggests the latter. “Pouring down” has 898,000 Google hits, whereas “raining cats and dogs” only has 326,000.

With phrases, it’s important to remember that you need to use quote marks to make the search more accurate. For example, if you type in the similar phrases “l(fā)ook after” and “take care of “ without quote marks, the second phrase seems to be more common, but with quote marks, the result is reversed.

1. What is Googlefight?

A. A fight between two people on Google.

B. A way to make sure you win an argument.

C. A website showing how many hits two different things have.

D. A list of all the websites on Google.

2. Language teachers find it useful because _______.

A. there are a lot of words on Googlefight

B. it can tell them which of the two words with the same meaning appears more often

C. some words mean the same thing

D. common words have a billion hits

3. What must you remember to do if you are checking phrases by Googlefight?

A. Make sure they mean be same thing.

B. Make sure they are different.

C. Remember to put quote marks round the phrase.

D. Don’t put quote marks round the phrase.

4. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Googlefight is effective to determine the more common of two phrases.

B. Googlefight is a scientific way to decide an argument.

C. Quote marks can make the search more accurate.

D. Googlefight is invaluable to help win arguments.
