阅读理解.。Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush. He stopped by the fence in front of the house where he lived with his aunt Polly. He looked at it, and all joy left him. The fence was long and high. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence. He repeated the operation. He felt he could not continue and sat down.He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day. They would walk past him and laugh. They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday. The thought burned him like fire.He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned. Perhaps he could find some way to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him. But there was nothing of value in his pockets nothing that could buy even half an hour of freedom. So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the ideaAt this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea came to him. It filled his mind with a great, bright light. Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash.While Tom was working, Ben Rogers appeared. Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street. As he walked along, he was making noises like the sound of a riverboat. First he shouted loudly, like a boat captain. Then he said “Ding-Dong-Dong”, “Ding-Dong-Dong” again and again, like the bell of a riverboat. And he made other strange noises. When he came close to Tom, he stopped.Tom went on whitewashing. He did not look at Ben. Ben stared a moment and then said: “Hello! Im going swimming, but you cant go, can you?”No answer. Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist. Ben came nearer. Toms mouth watered for the apple, but he kept on working. Ben said, “Hello, old fellow, youve got to work, hey?”Tom turned suddenly and said, “Why, its you, Ben! I wasnt noticing.”“Say Im going swimming. Dont you wish you could? But of course youd rather work wouldnt you? Of course you would.”Tom looked at the boy a bit, and said “What do you call work?”“Why, isnt that work?”Tom went back to his whitewashing, and answered carelessly.“Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isnt. All I know is, it suits Tom Sawyer.”“Oh come, now, you dont mean to say that you like it?” The brush continued to move.“Like it? Well, I dont see why I shouldnt like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?”Ben stopped eating his apple. Tom moved his brush back and forth, stepped back to look at the result, added a touch here and there, and stepped back again. Ben watched every move and got more and more interested. Soon he said,“Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little.”Tom thought for a moment, was about to agree; but he changed his mind.“No no it wont do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect. It has got to be done very carefully. I dont think there is one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it well enough.”“No is that so? Oh come, now let me just try. Only just a little.” “Ben, Id like to, but if it isnt done right, Im afraid Aunt Polly ”“Oh, Ill be careful. Now let me try. Say Ill give you the core of my apple.”“Well, here No, Ben, now dont. Im afraid ”“Ill give you all of it.”Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face, but joy in his heart. And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun, Tom sat under a tree, eating the apple, and planning how to get more help. There were enough boys. Each one came to laugh, but remained to whitewash. By the time Ben was tired, Tom sold the next chance to Billy for a kite; and when Billy was tired, Johnny bought in for a dead rat and so on, hour after hour. And when the middle of the afternoon came, Tom had won many treasures.And he had not worked. He had had a nice idle time all the time, with plenty of company and the fence had been whitewashed three times. If he hadnt run out of whitewash, Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends.He had discovered a great law of human action, namely, that in order to make a man or a boy want a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get. 1.

A charming way of saying “Keep off the grass”. But could you figure it out? Or this: “Wash Clothing Store” for laundry.They are both typical Chinglish, a combination of English vocabulary and Chinese grammar. Expressions such as “people mountain people sea”, means extremely crowded, and “give you some color to see”, meaning a punishment, are widely known and recognized.Chinglish has been attracting global attention in recent years as China grows rapidly in status on the world stage, attracting both fans and detractors(批判者).The Beijing Speaks Foreign Languages Programme and English First China Company, a language trainer known as EF Education, jointly launched a campaign to root out poor grammar and misused vocabulary in downtown Beijing. They argue Chinglish is an embarrassment that we should let it die out at all costs.“It is meaningful to allow the capital to show its most beautiful historical and cultural heritage to the world. Michael Lu, vice-president of EF Education said, “since the launching of the campaign, foreign teachers and students had been very keen to volunteer participation.”He believed signs were very important in public services. The signs in some old buildings confused foreign visitors.Chinglish, although the target of much criticism, has also won supporters who regard it as an interesting way for foreigners to learn how Chinese people think and express themselves.“Many Chinglish logos carry Chinese elements and they will enrich the English language,” 32-year-old Oliver Radtke said. He had even published a book “Chinglish: Found in Translation,” on the subject. About 50,000 copies of the book have been sold since it was published in 2007.Some Chinese university experts also side with Chinglish. English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and the emergence of Chinglish again testifies(说明) to the languages vitality and inclusiveness, said Shi Anbin, an associate professor of Tsinghua University.50How did Chinglish come into being?A. Chinese people misunderstood the meaning of the new words.B. Chinese people combined English vocabulary with Chinese grammar.C. Chinese people based their English on the native English speakers.D. Chinese people make wide use of English vocabulary with bad spelling.51What Shi Anbin said means .A. there are many French and Spanish words in EnglishB.

It is the largest high school science competition in the world.The Maryland teenager is the youngest winner of the $75,000 award，who was chosen from among 1,500 students in 70 countries.Jack Andraka invented a test for pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest forms of cancer. He started to learn it after losing a close family friend to the disease.“I went on the Internet and I found that 85 percent of all pancreatic cancers are diagnosed late, when someone has less than a 2% chance of survival,” he says, “ and I was thinking, Thats not right. We should be able to do something. ” He found that early discovery is important to increasing the chances of surviving the disease. The Maryland teenager requested and received permission to work in a laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. There he developed a simple paper test, which can identify the disease in a single drop of blood. His test has proven correct 90% of the time. It also is 100 times more sensitive than other tests. “It costs three cents per test, and then also it takes only five minutes to run.” he said. Jacks success wouldnt have been possible without Anirban Maitra, a professor at Johns Hopkins. He was the only person among the 200 researchers Jack contacted who showed interest in his project. “I was very surprised that this was a 15-year old boy who was writing this. I wanted to meet this clever young man and see what he wanted to talk about and so I called him over for an interview.” Jack worked in Professor Maitras laboratory, completing his project in seven months. The government has given the Maryland teenager patent rights to the pancreatic cancer test. He is now talking with companies about developing the test into a simple product.

Dogs are more capable of understanding situations from a humans point of view than has previously been recognized, according to researchers. They found dogs were four times more likely to steal food they had been forbidden, when lights were turned off so humans in the room could not see. This suggested the dogs were able to alter their behavior when they knew their owners perspective had changed. The study, published in Animal Cognition, conducted tests on eighty-four dogs. The experiments had been trying to find whether dogs could make their behavior suitable to react to the changed circumstances of their human owners. It wanted to see if dogs had a flexible understanding that could show they understood the viewpoint of a human. It found that when the lights were turned off, dogs in a room with their human owners were much more likely to disobey and steal forbidden food. The study says it is unlikely that the dogs simply forgot that the human was in the room when there was no light. Instead it seems as though the dogs were able to differentiate between when the human was unable or able to see them. Juliane Kaminski carried out the research into how dogs are influenced by human circumstances. Dr Juliane Kaminski, from the University of Portsmouths psychology department, said the study was incredible because it implies dogs understand the human cant see them, meaning they might understand the human perspective. Previous studies have suggested that although humans might think that they can recognize different expressions on their dogs faces, this is often inaccurate and a projection of human emotions. “Humans constantly attribute(归属) certain qualities and emotions to other living things. We know that our own dog is clever or sensitive, but thats us thinking, not them,” said Dr Kaminski. “These results suggest humans might be right, where dogs are concerned, but we still cant be completely sure if the results mean dogs have a truly flexible understanding of the mind and others minds. It has always been assumed only humans had this ability. 53According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The researchers made the test on dogs in eighty-four countries.B. Dogs always obey and dont steal forbidden food.C. Dogs may adapt their behavior in response to the changed circumstances.D. The research is carried out to find out how dogs are influenced by light. 54Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Dogs-Our Loyal Companions Understand Us Most.B. Dogs Are Our Best Friends.C. Dogs Can Understand Us In a Way, Researchers Say.D. Dogs Have Certain Qualities and Emotions of Human Beings, Researchers Say.55. Where can we probably read this kind of articles? A. Textbooks. B. Advertisements. C. Instructions. D. Magazines.56This passage can be classified as .A. an argumentative writing B. a feature story C. a dog show review D. a research result 【参考答案】5356 CCDD 阅读理解。An idea that started in Seattles public library has spread throughout America and beyond.
