tasks，such as driving to work，are often compounded by emotional responses：expletives hurled，fists shaken in anger and aggressive threats made toward other drivers.”可知，a项、c项和d项都在文中有信息支持，只有b项未提及。2what

way.dour biological response now makes us the prey of other livings.答案c推理判断题。这句话直译是“数千年来使得我们成为捕猎者的生物反应现在反过来使得我们成为被捕猎者”。意味着以前帮助我们生存的生物反应现在使得我们在生存中变得十分被动，因而c项正确。其他选项均不合语境。3find out a word which has the

robert and brenda vale say keeping a mediumsized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km a year in a 4.6 liter land cruiser. “were not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. were just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted.” constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land, while growing and manufacturing a dogs food takes about 0.84 hectaresor 1.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a german shepherd. convincing flesheating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a nonstarter, the vales say. instead they recommend keeping “greener”， smaller, and more sustainable pets, such as goldfish, chickens or rabbits. the books playful title, and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully “recycled”， by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not appeal to animal fans. annoying as the idea may be, the question is valid given the planets growing population and limited resources, robert vale said. “issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog. its not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket，” he said. “its about much more challenging and difficult issues，” he added. “once you see where cats and dogs fit in your overall balance of things, you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two cars and the three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself.”1. the authors gave their book the playful title to _.a. make it amusing b. create a vivid imagec. show writing skills d. arouse peoples concern2. in paragraph 3 the writer mainly wants to tell us _. a. the amount of consumed land b. the neglected ecological impact c. some familiar examples d. some actual figures3. who may not like the idea of “recycling” pet animals? a. manufacturers. b. drivers. c. animal fans. d. the authorities.4. what do the authors think of living a sustainable life? a. challenging. b. inspiring. c. inviting. d. touching.答案与解析：robert vale和brenda vale写了一本名为time to eat the dog: the real guide to sustainable living(该吃狗了：永续生活)的书，书中提到了一种绝对新鲜的观点吃掉宠物，或者“回收”宠物。1d推理判断题。robert vale和brenda vale写的书名非常有趣，从全文可知，他们这样写的目的在于吸引读者的眼球，引起人们环保的意识，所以答案选d项。2b推理判断题。通过第三段建造和驾驶吉普车一年需要的土地的量和种植、生产一条狗的食物所需要土地的量的对比，我们不难发现第三段承接第二段第二句而写的，主要告诉我们“被忽视的生态影响”，所以答案选b项。3c细节理解题。从第五段的may not appeal to animal fans可知，“回收”宠物的观点不受那些宠物爱好者的欢迎，所以答案选c项。4a推理判断题。从最后一段中的its about much more challenging and difficult issues可以知道，书的两位作者认为过环保的生活是非常有挑战性的，而且也是很困难的事情，所以答案选a项。*结束 (2010成都检测) everyone knows the smart blackandwhite dog that sits on top of a red doghouse with his best frienda bird called woodstock. created by the american cartoonist charles schulz in 1950, the clever dog is loved by generations of kids and adults. he speaks more than 20 languages and appears daily in 26,000 newspapers around the world. when snoopy first appeared, he was not different from other pet dogs. but two years later, he

the typewriter. snoopy has done lots of jobs. he has been a bowtie wearing lawyer, a tennis player, an olympic figure skater, a world famous grocery checkout clerk, a pilot and even the first astronaut on the moon. however, snoopy has always dreamed of being a famous writer. the beginning of his story is always, “it was a dark and stormy night.” unfortunately for him no one has ever wanted to publish the story. in love, snoopy is as much of a failure as charlie brown is at baseball. he easily falls in love but always has his heart broken. he eats to forget, but it never works. snoopy is an insightful (富有洞察力的), feelgood and sometimes sad dog. if you think a little about his words, you might find them full of life lessons. among his most famous lines are “to live is to dance, to dance is to live.” and “yesterday i was a dog. today im a dog. tomorrow ill probably still be a dog. sigh! theres so little hope for advancement”1. snoopy has done all the following jobs except _. a. a
