阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
On the island of New Zealand, there is a grasshopper-like species of insect that is found nowhere else on earth. New Zealanders have given it the nickname weta, which is a native Maori word meaning “god of bad looks”. It’s easy to see why anyone would call this insect a bad-looking bug. Most people feel disgusted at the sight of these bulky(笨重的),slow-moving creatures.
Wetas are natural creatures; they come out of their caves and holes only after dark. A gaint weta can grow to over three inches long and weigh as much as 1.5 ounces. Giant wetas can hop up to two feet at a time. Some of them live in trees, and others live in caves. They are very long-lived for insects, and some adult wetas can live as long as two years. Just like their cousins grasshoppers and crickets, wetas are able to “sing” by rubbing their leg parts together, or against their lower bodies.
Most people probably don’t feel sympathy for these endangered creatures, but they do need protecting. The slow and clumsy wetas have been around on the island since the times of the dinosaurs, and have evolved and survived in an environment where they had no enemies until rats came to the island with European immigrants. Since rats love to hunt and eat wetas, the rat population on the island has grown into a real problem for many of the native species that are unaccustomed to its presence, and poses a serious threat to the native weta population.
41.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The weta is a newly discovered insect species.
B. The Maoris nicknamed themselves “Wetas”.
C. The Europeans brought wetas to New Zealand.
D. Wetas are unpleasant to the eye.
42.The strange thing about wetas is that they can produce pleasant sounds by ________.
A. rubbing their body parts
B. moving slowly on the ground
C. hopping up to two feel at a time
D. coming out only at night
43. Which of the following descriptions of wetas is accurate?
A. They are quick in movement.
B. They are decreasing in number.
C. They are very active in the daytime.
D. They have a short lifespan for insects.
44. The underlined word “its” in the last paragraph is the closest in meaning to “_________”.
A. The dinosaur’s B. The weta’s C. The island’s D. The rat’s
45. From which of the following is the passage LEAST likely to be taken?
A. A science magazine. B. A travel guide.
C. A business journal. D. biology textbook.
B
“Have a nice day” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day. Next!” The version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words came out in the same tone ( 腔调 ) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
46. How does the author understand Maxie’s words?
A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
B. Maxie really worries about the author’s security
C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.
D. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
47. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The salesgirl says the words as a routine. B. The salesgirl is bored.
C. The salesgirl cares about me. D. The salesgirl is rude.
48. By saying “Have a nice day”, a stranger may _____.
A. give his blessing to you B. express respect to you
C. try to be polite to you D. share his pleasure with you
49. According to the last paragraph, people say “Have a nice day”_______.
A. sincerely B as a habit C. as thanks D. encouragingly
50. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation
B. Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture
C. Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming Greeting
D. Have a Nice Day—a Social Custom
C
As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”
51.The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to _________.
A. report on the findings of a study
B. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table
C. show the relationship between parents and children
D. give information about family problems
52.Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because ____________.
A. they are busy serving food to their children
B. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family
C. they have to pay more attention to younger children
D. they are busy keeping order at the dinner table
53.By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children ______.
A. have to help their parents to serve dinner
B. find it hard to keep up with other children
C. are often kept away from the dinner table
D. get the least attention from the family
54.Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question _________.
A. why TV is
