AMost dog owners feel that their dogs are their best friends. Almost everyone likes dogs because they try hard to please their owners. One of my favorite stories is about a dog who wanted his owner to please him.One of my friends has a large German shepherd (牧羊狗) named Jack. Every Sunday afternoon, my friend takes Jack for a walk in the park. Jack likes these long walks very much.One Sunday afternoon, a young man came to visit my friend. He stayed a long time, and he talked and talked. Soon it was time for my friend to take Jack for his walk, but the visitor didn’t leave. Jack became very worried about his walk in the park. He walked around the room several times and then sat down directly in front of the visitor and looked at him. But the visitor paid no attention. He continued talking. Finally, Jack couldn’t stand it any longer. He went out of the room and came back a few minutes later. He sat down again in front of the visitor, but this time he held the man’s hat in his mouth.German shepherds aren’t the only intelligent dogs. Another intelligent dog is a Seeing Eye dog. This is a special dog which helps blind people walk along the streets and do many other things. We call these dogs Seeing Eye dogs because they are the “eye” of the blind people and they help them to “see”.

Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas－all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude ofobeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them. And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification(修正) of attitudes.31. The word “state” (in Line 1) has the similar meaning to .A. a mental or emotional condition.B. a condition of being in a stage or form.C. social position or rank.D. a specific mode of government.32.

Which of the following is TRUE about the learning of attitudes?A. Attitudes are only learned through one’s success.B. Attitudes learned in danger will last longer.C. Copying others behavior is not a good idea.D. Attitudes can be learned from one’s parents.35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Differences of Attitudes.B. Nature of Attitude.C. Choices of Attitudes.D. Modification of Attitude.CWhen TV news programs report wars or disasters, the editors rarely use the most horrifying pictures of dead or wounded victims because they don’t want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they may find some of these scenes disturbing, so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenes－the TV cameramen－have no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them, no matter how terrible and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer.Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24-hour news in recent years has created an almost much more demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agencies—such as Reuters and WTN－have never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “freelance” TV cameramen.These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, be it for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books, explains Nick Growing, once foreign editor for Britain Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk, he says.36. TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to .A. make money and avoid dangersB. buy pictures which are the most stimulating to the sensesC. look for pictures that are of fine qualitiesD. get first-hand information and pictures37. The freelance cameramen .A. have better skills than other cameramenB. are tied to many TV news agenciesC. have to take a lot of risks in the course of workD. need to contract out risks of work for TV companies38. It is implied in the passage that .A. TV cameramen have to witness disasters and killing whether they like them or notB. TV cameramen are a special group of people who enjoy horrifying picturesC. TV cameramen should be given grater choice of workD. the development of TV resulted in the growing demand for TV cameramen’s work39. According to this passage, some major broadcasters and TV news agencies .A. have employed enough cameramenB. are not willing to employ many cameramenC. are very mean to freelancersD. are responsible for the freelancer if he is injured40. The author of this passage shows his the freelance cameramen.A. respect forB. sympathy toC. anger toD. admiration toDThe flag, the most common symbol of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.The national flag as we know it today is in no way an ancient artifact. It is, rather, the product of thousands of years’ development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves th at endangered travelers. People’s food supplies weresimilarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems(图腾) before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked: The king of China around 1000 B. C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.41. The best title for the passage would be .A. Development of the National FlagB. Power of the National FlagC. Types of FlagsD. Uses of Flags42. The underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 means .A. impossible to make sure ofB. likely to be protectedC. easy to damageD. easy to find43. The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because .A. they could tell wind directionB. they could bring good luck to fightersC. they were handed down by the ancestorsD. they were believed to stand for natural forces44. What can we know of the first national flag in the passage?A. It met with the first ancestor of Europe.B. It was unmarked.C. It was passed from India.D. It appeared thousands of years ago.45. What will the author most probably talk about next?A. The role of China in the spread of the national flag.B. The second ancestor of the national flag.C. The use of modern flags in Europe.D. The importance of modern flags.第二节信息匹配（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
