early humans like the hominoids (类人猿) to keep warm during the winter season or when they traveled to cooler regionstraditionally, animals were hunted down to produce fur coatsat present though, some animals like the mink (水貂) and the fox are bred and farmed for their furnow, wearing fur is considered a luxury because of its price and availability. fur coats are produced and used all over the world especially in cooler countries like russia and northern europethese are usually made from the fur of bigger animals like bears, wolves and foxes which are hunted down for their meat and hidebecause of this, several of their species have become endangeredyet, until now, there has been no law passed to regulate the fur industrythats why animal rights groups, including stars, continue to campaign against fur clothing including fur coat manufacturing. dennis rodman is the first man, and the first sports star, to do a photo shoot for petas “rather go naked than wear fur” series. during the fashion week of nyc in 2005, rodman came not to sit in the front row at a show, but to unveil his provocative (挑衅的, 震动的) new peta advertisementin the very tents where designers were pushing furin petas advertisement, rodman appears nude (赤裸的) - except for his tattoos - alongside the caption ( 插图说明), ” think ink, not mink,” and urges :” be comfortable in your own skin and let animals keep theirs.” rodman watched pamela andersons three-minute video showing how animals live and die before being made into fur coats“if you actually look at the video firsthand, it gives you a different perspective on animals and how theyre treatedits heart-wrenching to see what they go through,” he said46according to the passage, which of the following statements is not true ?apeople raise minks and foxes to get their fur.bearly humans used fur to keep warm.cthere are blanks in legal system to regulate the fur industry.dmany species have been extinct because of the need for fur.47by quoting the example of dennis rodman, the author intends to show that _ .astars take advantage of every opportunity to make themselves famousbstars are less likely to wear fur.cmore and more stars have taken part in the campaign against fur clothing.dstars belong to animal rights groups.48the underlined word “heart-wrenching” in the last paragraph most probably means _ .aupset and painful bsurprising cinteresting dencouraging49which of the following has not been mentioned in the passage ?ahow people get fur bwhy fur is expensive.cwho is dennis rodman dwhat pamela andersons video is about.50what is the best title for this passage ?afur industrybcampaign against fur clothingcanimals are endangereddan animal rights activistb londona mornings train ride away, across the channel, english kids talk about liverpools soccer team in a paris pubsome parisians have even started to go to work in londonin the 19th century, charles dickens compared the two great rival(竞争) cities, london and paris, in “ a tale of two cities”these days, it might be a tale of one city.parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitors broken french and respond in polite englishas jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 frenchmen moved across the channelwith an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hoursthe european union freed them from immigration and customs.paris, rich in beauty, is more attractivebut london feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.“for me, the difference is that london is real, alive,” said trevor wheeler, a banker.chantal jaouen, a professional designer, agrees“i am french, but ill stay in london,” she saidthere is, of course, the other viewjulie lenoux is a student who moved to london two years ago“i think people laugh more in paris,” she saidin fact, london and paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptionsas the european union gradually loosened controls, londoners flocked into paris to shop, eat and buy property(地产).“both cities have changed beyond recognition.” said larry collins, a writer and sometimes a londonerlike most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.“i first fell in love with paris in the 1950s and it is still a wonderful place,” collins said“but if i had to choose, it would be londonthings are so much more ordered, and life is better.”but certainly not cheaperin fancy parts of london, rents can be twice those on avenue foch in parisdeciding between london and paris requires a lifestyle choice.like daphne benoit, a french journalism student with perfect english, many young people are happy to be close enough so they dont have to choose.“i love paris, my little neighborhood, the way i can walk around a centre, but life is so structured,” she said“in london, you can be who you wantno one cares.” 51the best title for this message is _.alondoner and parisians ba modern tale of two citiescthe similarity of two cities dfancy london and fashionable paris 52we can infer from the passage that _.aparis and london has become perfect partners blondon feels more full of lifeclife in paris is structured dparis and london have become fierce competitors 53the underlined word “flocked ” probably means _.acame in large numbers bflew a long waycrushed hurriedly ddrove long distances 54living in paris, you may find _alife is better bthings are cheapercmore attractive people da job easily 55from the passage we can know _athe two cities have developed very fastblondon is better than paris nowcparis is a favourite place for journalism studentsdpeople in both london and paris now lead a regular life crecently, a survey was done among 288,000 students, which shows that todays traditional-age college freshmen are “more materialistic and less altruistic (利他主义的)” than at any time in the 19 years of the poll(民意调查).not surprisingly, in these hard times, the students major purpose “is to be financially well offdeveloping a meaningful philosophy of life is less important than ever.” it follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting.interest in teaching, social service and the “altruistic” fields is at a lowon the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up.thats no surprise eithera friend of mine (a sales representative for a chemical company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors in her first year on the job-even before she completed her two-year associate degree.though its true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far beyond our own and that it will be better for our understanding of these other contributionseither scientific or artisticsimilarly, it is true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to thinkmore importantly, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs.weekly we read of unions who went on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out of businessno company; no jobhow shortsighted in the long run!but the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sensei saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table; one of them is talking on the intercom (对讲机) : “miss baxter,” he says, “could you please send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?”from the long-term point of view, thats what education really ought to be about.56according to the result of the survey, college students _.atake developing a meaningful philosophy of life more seriouslybhave a wide range of knowledge in many aspectscpay more attention to the study of literaturedhave never been so materialistic as today 57the students criteria (标准) for choosing their majors today are largely based on _. atheir own understanding of the courses bthe financial goals they seek in life cthe influence of their instructors dthe vast potential for the future educational development 58what does the fifth paragraph imply?aknowledge in other fields has nothing to do with ones career.bbusiness management should be included in educational programscthe importance of a broad education should not be ignoredda good understanding of the civilization will make students rich.59the authors attitude to the effect of studying the diverse wisdom of others is _.apositive bindifferent cdoubtful dnegative60the writer wrote the passage in order to indicate that _. acollege students today are not a diligent generation bpeople engaged in technical jobs lead a more meaningful life ccareer seekers shouldnt focus on immediate interests only dworking experience outside college counts a lot to ones future career
