“would you like us to shovel（铲） your sidewalk and driveway?” shoveling was jamies idea, a way to earn enough money for the new ocean kingdom video game that came out the next day. mrs. grady was happy, “that would be wonderful, boys. i think the job is getting to be too much for me.” “it will cost 10 dollars,” jamie said. “if thats ok,” mark added. “oh dear,” mrs. grady said disappointedly,

previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. however, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel.the recent study, the results of which were published in the journal royal society: open science, shows the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former president barack obama and actress emma watson.initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards. later, they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded. the sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to do so declined by about 15 percent the same rate at which a humans ability to perform the same task declines.“anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent, individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said professor jenny morton, who led the cambridge study. “weve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including huntingtons disease, affect this ability.“sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. that means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as huntingtons disease, that develop over a long time and affect cognitive abilities. our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change,” morton said.8. according to the new research, whats unusual about sheep?a. they have large brains.b. they can recognize human faces from photographs.c. they can tell animals from humans.d. they can recognize their owners.9. how did the researchers train the sheep?a. by guiding them to follow their handlers.b. by showing photos of famous people.c. by showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.d. by giving food rewards.10. what can be inferred from the passage?a. the new discovery is beneficial to the study of cognitive ability changes.b. the sheeps face-recognition ability stays the same when shown photos at any angle.c. sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.d. the sheeps face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain.11. whats the passage mainly about?a. a wonderful scientistb. how sheep recognize each otherc. a new discovery about sheepd. the life of sheepdthe word tolerance is widely used in liberal democracies(自由民主). it indicates a positive meaning. politicians urge us to be tolerant towards minorities. educators teach us to be tolerant towards the other. the press is full of references to the need to display tolerance when faced with individuals or groups espousing(拥护) a different view or holding a different religious belief. a tolerant society is an objective sought after by anyone who believes in the values of democracy. a tolerant individual is attributed(认为是) with virtuous qualities.the question we must ask is whether we have been using the word tolerance fully aware of its meaning and whether we have applied it correctly to reflect what we really wish to convey.the word tolerance means to bear, or to bear with. if i tolerate something or someone, i basically say that i am ready to bear it or him. i can tolerate a bad smell or a noisy neighbour. the act of toleration forces me to desist from conveying my objection to the existence of a phenomenon, which i find difficult to bear. a bad smell or a noisy neighbour is considered by me to be an objectionable phenomenon. by tolerating either of them, i am not transforming the bad smell or the noisy neighbour into positive phenomena. lets be honest: i dont have a different taste when it comes to bad smells. i simply dislike it and wish that it disappears. i dont respect the noisy neighbour. i would rather have him stop at once the noise he is making so i can live in peace.a tolerant attitude involves the grant(授给物) of a favour, not a right. the question we should ask ourselves is whether we would ever wish a parliament(议会) to make laws according to certain actions interpreted as a favour rather than a right? indeed, would we ever wish anyone to listen to our views and accept us the way we are simply because he is kind enough to tolerate us?12. the first two paragraphs are mainly intended to show that _.a. tolerance is a symbol of liberal democraciesb. peoples understanding of tolerance is one-sidedc. democratic society always advocates tolerance d. tolerance can be applied to many situations13. the underlined part “desist from” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “_.a. deny b. dislike c. stop d. keep14. the example of a bad smell and a noisy neighbour is raised to indicate that _.a. tolerating them isnt a virtuous actb. most people find them hard to toleratec. the writer isnt prejudiced against themd. the writer are fed up with them15. the best title for this passage should be “_”.a. tolerance and respect b. what is to be tolerated?c. should people be tolerant?d. is tolerance a virtue?第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。（注意：e涂ab；f涂ac；g涂ad）competitors who wear red win more than those that are dressed in any other color, according to study in germany.16 experts believe that red could make individuals and teams feel more confident as well as being perceived by others as more aggressive. 17 on the other hand, the results could suggest that the success of those teams has given those that wear the red color more confident. the study, by german sports psychologists at the university of munster, was reported in new scientist magazine. they showed video recording of taekwondo matches to 42 experienced referees. one fighter wore blue and the other wore red. they then showed them the same recordings but digitally manipulated the clothing to exchange the colors. 18 “if one competitor is strong and the other is weak, it wont change the outcome of the fight,” said norbert hagemann, who led the study. “ 19 ” in 2004 scientists at durham university also looked at how color influenced sporting competitiveness. they analyzed olympic contest sports such as boxing, taekwondo, and freestyle wrestling and found that nearly 55% of which were won by the competitor in red. “ 20 ”said robert burton, one of the researchers.a.it is the color of fire and is often associated with energy, danger, strength, power, and determination.b.the findings could explain why manchester united, liverpool and arsenal have been so successful.c.the study shows that football shirts from worldwide teams such as arsenal, liverpool, sell successfully.d.it is reasonable that wearing red makes individuals feel more confident, although this hasnt yet been tested.e.researchers found that those who wear red tops, jackets or clothing score 10 percent more in any competition than if they were in another color.f.the fighters wearing red were given an average of 13 percent more points than when they wore blue.g.but the closer the levels, the easier it is for the color to tip the scale.第二部分 语言知识应用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空 （共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c 和 d）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。james cleveland owens(19131980)was a great
