not know the complete history of the island But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language There are many deep valleys 峡谷 on the island A person on one side of a valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side But he can whistle and be heard Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles The people who live on the island usually have good teeth and this helps them to whistle well They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers We can understand why the whistle language continues It is very useful on the island and quite easy to learn When somebody is hurt or ill the whistle language takes the place of telephone If the sick person is quite far away from the town people pass the message from one to another A boy guarding cattle 放牛 on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town People help one another in the same way when a car breaks or a cow is lost The whistle language is hundreds of years old and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in the different parts of a country But on Comera you are nobody if you cannot whistle Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island the people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions 51 If a person on Comera island is ill A others will phone the doctors in town B people will take him to town by carriage C his family will take him to the hospital D the whistle language will help pass the message to the doctor 52 From this passage we know radio and TV at that time A killed the special way of speaking B did not appear on Comera island yet C helped Comera people to communicate D whistled all the news and opinions 53 Comera island is special in that A many visitors go there every year B people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other C people there have special ears to hear whistles D no visitors have ever been there 54 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage A The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island but will not be used any longer B The whistle language can only be found in Comera C It is not easy for a person to live on Comera island if he cannot whistle D The record shows that one best whistler can be heard by others seven miles away B I know what you re thinking pizza For breakfast But the truth is that you can have last night s leftovers in the morning if you want to I know lots of women who skip breakfast and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it Some say they don t have time others think they re saving calories 卡路里 still others just don t like breakfast food But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you re trying to lose weight Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all says Katherine Brooking R D who developed the super easy eating plan for this year s SELF CHALLENGE And even pizza can be healthy if it s loaded with vegetables and you stick to one small piece Breakfast is one meal I never miss and the same goes for most weight loss success stories Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal So eat something in the morning anything I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether and have just coffee or orange juice I say try heating up last night s leftovers it may sound crazy but if it works for you do it I find if I tell myself You can always eat it tomorrow I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night Try it you may save yourself some pre bedtime calories And watch your body gain the fat burning effects 55 The word leftovers in Paragraph 1 probably means A meals made of vegetables B things left undone C food remaining after a meal D pizza topped with fruit 56 What can we infer from the text A Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry B Eating vegetables helps save energy C There are some easy ways of cooking a meal D Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast 57 According to the last paragraph it is important to A heat up food before eating it B be careful about what you eat C eat something for breakfast D eat calorie controlled food 58 The text is written mainly for those A who go to work early B who eat before sleep C who stay up late D who want to lose weight C A typical day at work for Cesar Millan might include putting on his running shoes and taking a four hour jog with 40 dogs dogs large and small young and old Amazingly most of those dogs belong to him The rest are at the heart of his work they are troubled dogs sent to Millan to learn good behavior Obviously Millan star of the TV show Dog Whisperer and author of the best selling book Cesar s Way has a special gift for working with these animals Growing up on a farm in Mexico Millan knew he wanted to work with dogs His first job at age 15 was helping a veterinarian 兽医 He was so good at calming scared dogs and handling all kinds of situations that people started calling him el perrero Spanish for the dog boy Since then he has built a rewarding career around his favorite animal My grandfather taught me at an early age not to work against nature he explains In nature dogs are pack animals They form a group and follow one leader Millan s specialty is teaching people to be pack leaders for their dogs Studying dogs on the farm where he grew up Millan realised they need lots of exercise to be calm He explains his approach Exercise and discipline first and then affection He says a lot of people get it backwards because they don t realise what dogs really need Therefore while he trains dogs he teaches owners to understand that their pets need rules He s helped famous people like Oprah Winfrey and movie star Will Smith and everyday people too To find the right career Millan encourages kids to do what they enjoy A lot of people don t realise I ve been working with dogs for more than 20 years long before my TV show or book Success followed me because I was following my dream of being the best dog trainer in the world 59 As a teenager Millan became famous for A being a TV star and writing a book B making a life in Spain C working well with dogs D showing love to many animals 60 By saying dogs are pack animals in Para4 the author means that A dogs like to live with people B dogs should live in groups C few dogs can be leaders D dogs are easier to be trained 61 Which of the following would Millan agree to A Rules are more important than love in training dogs B Dogs should be trained on farms C Dogs are quiet animals D Famous people have more problems in training dogs 62 What does Millan advise children to do when it comes to choosing a job A Share their ideas with many other people B Never give up and they will succeed C Do what interests them D Receive training long before they succeed D For many parents raising a teenager is like fighting a long war but years go by without any clear winner Like a border conflict between neighboring countries the parent teen war is about boundaries Where is the line between what I control and what you do Both sides want peace but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict In part this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it From the parents point of view the only cause of their fight is their adolescents complete unreasonableness And of course the teens see it in exactly the same way except oppositely Both feel trapped In this article I ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap The first no win situation is quarrel on unimportant things Examples include the color of the teen s hair the cleanness of the bedroom the preferred style of clothing the child s failure to eat a good breakfast before school or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends Second blaming The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong Third needing to be right It doesn t matter what the topic is politics the laws of physics or the proper way to break an egg the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong for both wish to be considered an authority someone who actually knows something and therefore to command respect Unfortunately as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other they ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress 63 Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict A Both can continue for generations B Neither can be put to an end C Neither has any clear winner D Both are about where to draw the line 64 What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean A The teens accuse their parents of misleading them B The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict C The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict D The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents 65 Parents and teens want to be right because they want to A gain respect from the other B know more than the other C give orders to the other D get the other to behave properly 66 What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows A Solutions for the parent teen problems B Examples of the parent teen war C Causes for the parent teen conflicts D Future of the parent teen relationship E On October 12 1989 some British scientists were working at the computers to look for the information they needed Suddenly they saw a lot of very bright points crossing the computers screens At the same time the computers were working much slower To find out what was happening they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers To their horror they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses Clearly all these computers had been infected by computer viruses It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men fond of playing tricks They all had excellent education They created the viruses just to show their intelligence These kinds of computer viruses are named Jerusalem Viruses These viruses can stay in computers for a long time When the time comes they will attack 袭击 the computers by lowering the functions damaging their normal programs or even getting rid of all the information We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Friday and that they are spreading to a lot of computers Among the countries that were attacked by computer viruses last year are Britain Australia Switzerland and the U S But till now how to get rid of the terrible viruses remains a problem 67 When the viruses attack the computers the computers will work A normally B well C faster D slowly 68 The group of young men created the viruses to A tell people that they were intelligen
