四个选项中 选出最佳选项 A A A black and white kitten with a broken back lay on animal doctor Betsy Kennon s examination table A regular customer had rushed him to her office after his pet dog brought the cat home in his mouth The dog s owner was horrified believing that his pet had caused the cat s injuries But Kennon found no teeth marks or bite wounds which showed that the dog had probably saved not harmed the kitten In Kennon s opinion however the cat was a hopeless case Many doctors would have put down such a badly hurt animal But she couldn t be so cruel The kitten s bright eyes and sad face had won her over There was no way of finding his owner so Kennon a single woman aged 56 decided to keep him She gave him a round of shots and fed him food mixed with medicines He couldn t move his back legs but soon started pulling himself forward with his front legs The doctor named him Scooter and contacted a company that makes carts for disabled animals Scooter took to his new wheels like a natural In no time he was able to move freely but somewhat awkwardly around Kennon s office home and even her backyard The sight of the determined Scooter was uplifting and amusing in equal measure and Kennon had to smile each time the cat entered the room Kennon was convinced that her kitten could share his high spirits with others So she took Scooter to the local hospital to see if he could help the patients His first patient was an elderly woman who d had a stroke and hadn t spoken to anyone for two days Scooter jumped out of Kennon s arms and onto the bed rolled over to the patient and lay gently near her cheek purring softly The woman looked at Scooter Kitty she murmured as she began to talk to him Amazed Kennon turned to the doctor and saw that she was in tears The cat had engineered a small miracle Today Scooter spends about ten hours a month working with patients who are recovering from strokes and injuries Again and again Kennon watches as her cat provides hope and comfort As one patient who d lost her leg in a car accident said If he can do it so can I 36 From Paragraph 1 we know that A the dog s owner was a stranger to Kennon B who actually injured the cat was unknown C the dog was extremely cruel to the cat D the cat had several bite marks on its body 37 The underlined phrase put down in Paragraph 2 most probably means A hurt B refused C killed D replaced 38 Why did Kennon decide to keep the cat A She wanted a companion B The cat s owner abandoned him C The cat was hopeless D She liked the cat 39 How did Kennon help the cat move around A By getting him a special cart B By curing his broken back C By feeding him medicines D By exercising him in her backyard 40 According to the passage what is the main reason that the cat works miracle 用心 爱心 专心 4 A Patients feel sympathy for him B He is able to inspire others C People are amused by his appearance D He has the ability to cure the ill B B Now scientists believe that global warming affects hibernating animals causing them to wake up earlier While this may seem a little concern it is in fact a significant environmental problem The shortened hibernation period could actually lead to significant declines in the populations of several species Some of the first concrete evidence of the phenomenon came from Colorado where researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological lab have been observing marmot 旱獭 hibernation behavior since the 1970s In the early days of their studies marmots generally hibernated several weeks into the month of May Nowadays however temperatures in the area have risen by 2 5 degrees Fahrenheit and the marmots are waking up about a month earlier At least the marmots are still hibernating Several other animals have not been hibernating at all recently Brown bears in the Spanish Cantabrian Mountains did not hibernate last year In parts of the United States chipmunks 花鼠 also skipped the hibernation period The bears seem to have survived without losing many individuals The chipmunks however were not so lucky Many of the animals died of starvation during the winter The problem with animals waking up early or skipping hibernation altogether lies with the creatures metabolism 新陈代谢 When an animal hibernates their metabolism drops significantly The animals heart rate slows and they require very little energy to live When the animals awake from their winter slumberslumber their metabolism returns to normal But while their metabolism may be as active as it was before hibernation food sources aren t as available as they were before A marmot may wake up when temperatures get warmer thinking it s spring but plants will not have gotten the amount of sun they need to signal their spring period of growth So until the plants grow the marmots have no reliable food source Many scientists believe the problem will continue to get worse In addition to changes in hibernation patterns some believe that other animals will also begin to change their migration patterns or begin to give birth earlier For many biologists that s a scary prospect Terry Root an animal expert at Stanford University said I do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species 41 What is the viewpoint of the writer A Global warming will continue to get worse as time goes on B Global warming will lead to shortened hibernation of some animals C Shortened hibernation will result in declines in the population of animals D Some animals will skip hibernation altogether 42 The writer sets the example of the marmot so as to A explain that global warming influences animals hibernation B indicate that the weather gets warmer and warmer now C show that the weather in the United States is quite different D say some animals do not hibernate now due to warm weather 43 The underlined word slumber in the fourth paragraph means A weatherB activityC nestD sleep 44 Why can t marmots find enough food when they wake up A Because there are too many marmots in the wild now B Because plants haven t received enough sunlight for spring growth C Because winter days end much earlier than before D Because more and more animal species skip hibernation now 45 Terry Root holds a n attitude towards the future of animals A optimisticB doubtfulC pessimisticD sensitive C C If you want to avoid making impulse 冲动 and unnecessary purchases then just keep your hands away from tempting products According to new 用心 爱心 专心 5 research individuals who touch possible items in stores are more likely to have an increased desire to purchase them than those who keep their hands off the products Suzanne Shu and Joann Peck marketing professors at the University of Wisconsin s business school conducted studies on the connection between touch and feelings of ownership and the effect of perceived ownership on the value placed on an object For one of the experiments the experts placed two products a Slinky toy and a coffee mug in front of the volunteers who were undergraduate students About half of the participants were allowed to touch the products while the other half were asked not to touch them The volunteers then were asked to express their sense of ownership of the products and to report how much money they were willing to pay for each The results showed that those students who were allowed to touch the objects reported significant increased levels of perceived ownership They also expressed a desire to pay more money to obtain the products The investigators also discovered that a sense of very pleasant feelings when touching products determined how much money consumers were willing to pay However if the object did not feel pleasant to the touch it significantly decreased the amount the buyers were willing to pay Researchers said that many stores have already followed the right path But what can be done while shopping online when touching of an item is not possible In this case the experts say just picturing in mind that they are touching it and then owning it will cause greater feelings of ownership and thus the consumers will be more likely to make a purchase When you touch an object you immediately feel some kind of a connection to it according to the researchers That connection stirs up an emotional reaction And that emotion can make people buy something they would never even consider buying if they had not touched it 46 The author develops the text mainly by A drawing a conclusion through research B comparing opinions from different fields C providing typical examples D presenting a cause and analyzing its effects 47 Which of the following was found in the research A Shoppers cannot resist the temptation when they meet things they like B If a man doesn t intend to spend money it s less possible for him to touch the product C The longer you touch the goods the more desire you have to own them D Touching a product affects the customer s feelings of desire for the product students who were allowed to touch the objects reported significant increased levels of perceived ownership They also expressed a desire to pay more money to obtain the products 可知 48 When people do online shopping A they will particularly want to touch the products advertised on the Internet B they just imagine its ownership and simply evaluate the objects in their minds C their imagination of the ownership resulted in significantly higher valuations of the products D they desire to possess it and do not care how much money they would pay 49 It can be inferred from the text that A there were noticeable differences between the students who touched the products and those who did not B stores have used the method of allowing customers to touch products C buyers won t buy the items if they don t like them even though they have touched them D a Slinky toy and a coffee mug were used to attract the participants attention 50 What led the researchers to conduct this study 用心 爱心 专心 6 A To illustrate the connection between touch and feelings of ownership B To share their good ideas about avoiding impulsive consumption C To develop marketing strategies for trade companies D To satisfy customers social needs when shopping D D If you re a male and you re reading this congratulations you re a survivor According to a survey you re more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman than nine times more likely to die of AIDS Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term about 78 years for men in Australia you ll die on average five years before a woman There re many reasons for this typically men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly men don t go to the doctor Men aren t seeing doctors as often as they should says Dr Gullotta This is particularly so for the over 40s when diseases tend to strike Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two For those over45 it should be at least once a year Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50 year old man who had delayed doing anything about his smoker s cough for a year When I finally saw him it had already spread and he finally died from lung cancer he says Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him but it would have prolonged 延长 his life According to a recent survey 95 of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year compared to 70 of men in the same age group A lot of men think they can never defeated Gullotta says They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think Geez if it could happen to him Then there s the ostrich 鸵鸟 approach Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know says Dr Ross Cartmill Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies Cartmill says He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be addressed by preventive check ups Regular check ups for men would inevitable place strain on the public purse Cartmill says But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases Besides the ultimate cost far greater it s called premature death 51 Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage A They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life B Their average life span has been considerably extended C They have lived long enough to read this article D They are more likely to survive serious diseases today 52 What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier on average than women A Men don t seek medical care as often as women B Men drink and smoke much more than women C Men aren t as cautious as women in face of danger D Men are more likely to suf
