請認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

(A)

   When it comes to intelligence, human beings are the top dogs of the animal kingdom. But in

recent years, scientists have been documenting surprising intelligence and emotional depth in

animals ranging from honeybees to elephants. Here are some amazing examples.

                           Janet Schmid, director of the Little River Zoo in Norman, Oklahoma, learned a lot about the intelligence of capuchin monkeys. She and her husband adopted a young male, named Bailey. The capuchin particularly liked taking car rides, insisting that he insert the key and ride in the front passenger's seat. Now Bailey has become a devoted painter. He uses brushes to create colorful, abstract paintings, and prefers not to be disturbed.

Through a variety of birdlike sounds, prairie dogs warn each other of approaching creatures. They demonstrate a surprisingly complex communication system. In his 25

years of study,

pronouncing ten nouns including hawk, deer and coyote, a number of

adjectives to identify color, size and shape, and even some verbs to indicate

speed.

In an ongoing study, Slobodchikoff learns that their brain contains a

very extensive vocabulary. He once used his best prairie dog sound to say

coyote, and they just looked at him in anger as if he had said a bad word.

Ivy League Parrot

One African grey parrot Alex is said to have the cognitive

objects, seven colors, five shapes, quantities up to six, and the

concepts of bigger, smaller, same and different.

Also Alex is considered to make reasoned decisions. During an

experiment, researchers gave Alex different-colored blocks in sets

of two, three and six. When asked which color group had five blocks,

Alex replied, “None. ”And he answered the same in repeated tests.

Obviously, he interpreted the concept of “none” as an absence of quantity all on his own. That’s a lot like a high school student answering questions on a quiz show.

56．Which of the following is true?                                    

  A．Bailey is as clever as a child of five.              B．The prairie dog loves taking car rides.

C．The capuchin monkey is fond of painting.              D．Alex develops a communication system.

57．The African grey parrot Alex can         .                         

A．a(chǎn)nswer questions on a quiz show  B．understand the figure “7”

    C．identify five colors and seven shapes              D．a(chǎn)pply the concept of “none” correctly

58．What is the passage mainly about?                                  

A．Animal communication．            B．Animal research．

C．Animal intelligence．                 D．Animal information．

(B)

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? " And Paul, why didn't pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us 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. And if we don't really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog, "and that's being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There's a bit of envy in those words. 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 starving 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 agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

59. This passage is mainly about ______.

A. how to interpret what people say     B. what to do when you listen to others talking

C. why we go wrong with people and how to avoid these mistakes

D. why we go wrong with people sometimes

60. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that       .

A. we fail to listen carefully when they talk   B. we tend to doubt what our friends say

C. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say

D. people usually state one thing but mean another. 

61. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to______.

A. being friendly                   B. a bit of envy    C. lucky dog    D. your luck

62. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is     __.

    A. notice the way the person is talking              

B. take a good look at the person talking

    C. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes

    D. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture

63. The author is most probably a ______.

    A. teacher        B. psychologist  C. philosopher   D. doctor

(C)

“Image is everything.” An entire industry has been built upon the precondition that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough. If there is no substance behind the image, the product, service or person will fail at length.

20090507

    Similarly, personal consultants can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars. Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace (體面) like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close.

    To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the " selling" of a person. But image is only half of the equation. What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself―the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success.

64．Why did some famous people fall from grace?

   A．Their images were not well built up.    B．They failed to live up to their images.

  C．They felt much pressure from the public.  D．They paid little attention to fame and fortune.

     A: Argument   P: Point    C: Conclusion

66．The author tries to argue that______.

    A．image creates everything            B．image is the key to success

    C．truth goes hand in hand with image    D．truth and image are equally important

(D)

Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.

   Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!

   Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, unpleasant tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man . It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded brief-case as it is for a jungle-dweller (居民) to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.

   I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing(嗨呵地用力) down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.

67．The author mentions coconuts’ falling to           .

    A．show his loneliness              B．a(chǎn)dd beauty to the jungle

    C．express his love of nature       D．stress the absolute silence

68．How does the author feel about the ant?

    A．He admired its attitude toward work.               B．He was amazed at its tireless efforts.

    C．He showed sympathy for the little ant.             D．He was content to have it as a companion.

69．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author would probably           .

    A．work harder than before          B．talk to the man on the horse

    C．make his way home                D．stay in the valley

70．We can learn from the passage that the author           .

    A．enjoyed being alone              B．had an unforgettable adventure

    C．missed his busy life in the city D．experienced a world of quietness

I used to be the messiest person alive. Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them.

Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen. Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done.

Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans.

You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn’t work, you have way two and way three to lean back on. Therefore, different ways are needed at hand. It’s just a matter of being organized. Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways doesn’t work, one of the other ones will.

Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary. It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling, but that you are interested in the results obtained with making the move to get everything done.

If you make a commitment to finish before a specific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would, within the time-frame you set for yourself.

Don’t try to tackle more things all at a time. All that does is delay your progress, distract you and make you lose your interest, motivation and energy.

Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible. You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time.

Last but not the least, you should never abandon things mid-project. It will only annoy everyone around you including yourself. Unfinished plans are a waste of time, energy and, in some cases, even money. 

So, don’t be afraid of organization. The older we get, the more necessary it becomes to have the skills necessary to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way. It pays to be organized, after all.

參考范文：

Great changes have taken place since our country reformed and opened to the outside world 30 years ago. My family move into a new broad house which is more than one hundred square meters. At the same time, many peasants have their own new private cars .What’s more, all the students in our country can receive compulsory education for free before they enter a senior high school. 

Besides, our country hosted the 29th Olympic Games successfully this summer and we took the first place in winning gold medals. Another inspiring event took place was that  Shenzhou Ⅶ spaceship was sent up into space smoothly.
