the reason is to show that adopting a dog from a shelter does not mean owners are getting a pet that is worse than one purchased from a keeper. the ceo of the spca is hoping that this unusual event will be enough to convince the residents of new zealand to consider them, when searching for a pet. we surely hope so, meanwhile we are almost certain that these three pioneers have at least landed their names in the guinness world records, creating a category that probably does not even exist today! 【小题1】who do the three dogs belong to? a. some rich owners. b. animal q. c. a shelter. d. a zoo.【小题2】the car the dogs drove was adjusted _. a. because is was too big for the dogs to drive b. because it had no steering wheels and brakes c. to ensure the dogs could sit comfortably and drive easily d. to motorize the car and turn it to be a real one 【小题3】 which is the right order of the following events? a. teaching the dogs some basic driving techniques. b. selecting three dogs and moving them to animal q. c. the dogs practiced everything they had learnt in a motorized car.d. choosing the best driver to show his great driving skill on live television. e. driving a real car. a. a-b-c- d-e b. b-a-c-e-d c. b- d- a-c-e d. a- e- c-b-d 【小题4】 why does the spca decide to teach the three dogs to learn to drive a car? a. to prove old dogs can learn new tricks. b. to teach them performing tricks for movies and television shows. c. to provide amusing performances for homeless children d. to encourage people to adopt the abandoned dogs. 【小题5】what can we learn from the passage? a. a new guinness category for driving dogs will probably be created. b. abandoned dogs are much cleverer than house-kept ones. c. all the dogs at new zealands spca will soon be adopted.d. new zealand has the most homeless dogs among all countries【答案】【小题1】c【小题2】c【小题3】b【小题4】d【小题5】a【解析】cabout a third of all common cancers in the united states, china and britain could be prevented each year if people ate healthier food, drank less alcohol and exercised more, health experts said on friday. reports from the world cancer research fund (wcrf) suggest that making simple lifestyle changes could prevent some 40 percent of breast cancers alone in britain and the united states, as well as tens of thousands of stomach cancers. “even in 2011, people are dying unnecessarily from cancers that could be prevented through keeping a healthy weight, diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors,” said a wcrf medical and scientific adviser. wcrf findings are supported by world health organization (who) reports, which say regular exercise can prevent many diseases such as cancers and heart diseases. cancer is a leading cause of death around the world and its incidence(发病率) is rising. each year around 12.7 million people discover they have cancer and 7.6 million people die from some form of the disease. there are about 200 known types of cancer. rachel thompson, the wcrfs head of science, said that while the message was simple that not smoking, eating good food and being a healthy weight can help ward off many cancers it was still a difficult one to get across. the who says adults should do at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. this could be done by walking for 30 minutes five times per week or by cycling to work every day. peter baldini, head of the world lung foundation, also called on all governments to introduce smoke-free laws and raise the price of cigarettes. tobacco kills millions of smokers every year, and tobacco-related lung cancers also kill hundreds of thousands of people who dont smoke but have been exposed to it second-hand. “there isnt a magic bullet to cure all forms of cancer, but we have the opportunity and the duty to protect people from developing cancer wherever possible,” baldini said.【小题1】which of the following words can best take the place of the phrase “ward off” in the sixth paragraph? a. protect b. prevent c. develop d. cure。【小题2】 which of the following statements is not true according to the text? a. exercising and eating healthily can help to reduce cancer risk. b. each year about 12.7 million people are diagnosed with cancer around the world. c. every year millions of people die from smoking and lung cancers. d. adults should walk for fifty minutes three times per week.【小题3】which of the following can be the best title of this text? a. simple life changes could stop millions of cancers b. cancer is a leading cause of death c. our bad lifestyle caused many diseases d. the incidence of common cancers is rising【小题4】by writing the passage, the author mainly intends to _. a. advise people to develop healthier lifestyle. b. warn people of the danger of cancers c. explain why many people die from cancers every year. d. introduce the ways to protect people from developing cancers【小题5】we can infer from peter baldinis opinion in the last two paragraphs that _. a. all the lung cancers are linked to smoking b. there is no medicine to cure the cancers but its our duty to find one c. all governments should take measures to control smokers and protect peoples health d. its our opportunity and duty to persuade people to give up smokingpart iv writing (45 marks)section a (10 marks)directions: read the following passage. fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.write no more than three words for each answer.today, february twenty-ninth, is leap day(闰日). this date only appears on the calendar once every four years. but why?everyone knows the earth takes three hundred sixty-five days to travel around the sun. well, that is not exactly correct. the earth really takes three hundred sixty-five days, five hours, forty-eight minutes and forty-six seconds to complete its orbit around the sun.the problem for people developing calendars was what to do with the extra five hours, forty-eight minutes and forty-six seconds.people needed calendars to help them know when to plant crops and when to celebrate religious holidays. the ancient greeks and chinese had a solution. they produced calendars that included extra months every nineteen years.the ancient romans had a different solution. in the year forty-six, the roman ruler julius caesar made a new calendar. the julian calendar included an extra day every four years. but there was a problem. the julian year was just over eleven minutes longer than the cycle of the seasons. in 1582, pope gregory the thirteenth established a new calendar to keep a better
