The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur "Boots" and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a half ounce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times—"days", "late days" or "nights". Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered.A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days;and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.1. How did the dog perform his duties?[A] He was delighted to show them off.[B] He did his best but was not often successful.[C] He did them quickly to get them over.[D] He had few opportunities to do them.2. What does the passage tell us about gun dogs?[A] They are the fastest runners of all dogs.[B] Their teeth are removed when they are young.[C] They can carry birds, etc. without hurting them.[D] They breed well, producing many young dogs.3. As a result of Williams' work .[A] he did not get enough sleep[B] there was an oily smell from his clothes[C] the dog grew accustomed to travelling by train[D] the dog was confused about the time of the day4. It upset Williams' wife and family when .[A] Williams had to go to work at night[B] the dog made too much noise in the house[C] Williams made them all get up early[D] the dog would not let them see the newspaper5. Williams did not realise his loss for several days because .[A] he trusted the dog to find the wallet[B] he was unconscious all that time[C] he thought the wallet was in the house[D] he had no occasion to feel in his pockets1. [A] 文章第一段第三句话告诉我们这只狗有几项明确的职责，它利用机会来显示它的才能"demonstrate his abilities"，show off正是demonstrate的意思。

英语等级考试pets3阅读练习 1Part BDirections:Read the following article in which five people talk about smoking. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G)given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Richard:In my opinion, smoking is only an amusement, like playing cards, reading, etc. Many years ago, when an adult handed me a cigarette and lit it for me, I felt grown up. When I am with friends and have nothing to say, we smoke, consequently we no longer feel embarrassed. Sometimes, I light a cigarette, suffering and nervousness vanishing with the smoke, I cant help saying inwardlv: Hello, cigarette, mv old friend. Im coming to meet you againStanton:Many people believe smokers have the fight to smoke. But they also believe that others shouldnt have to pay a price. The risk of tobacco smoke is greater than the risk of radon gas is to non-smokers. Were talking maybe 40 percent greater. And if youre talking about all the carcinogenic air pollutants that EPA regulates, its 100 times greater.Davis:According to our investigation, tobacco smoke in the home and workplace could be killing 46,000 non-smokers each year in the United States. Thats 3,000 lung cancer deaths,11,000 from other cancers and 32,000 heart disease deaths. That would make passive smoking the leading preventable cause of death in the United States after alcohol and smoking itself. Smoking kills 390,000 while alcohol 120,000.James :Passive smoking has become the principal battleground for the tobacco industry and its opponents in the 1980s. It is no longer merely a health issue, but political and environmental. Cigarette pollution is fouling the air. According to the Environmental Protection Agencys indoor air programs result, we know that the indoor environment is far more polluted than the outdoor environment. Weve seen that again and again wherever weve looked all over the United States.Winston:Sir, another fact about smoking is that cigarettes give people a good deal of pleasure. There is considerable evidence, surprisingly little publicized, showing that smoking produces certain beneficial effects in human beings. Smoking counteracts some decrease in efficiency, and smokers improve their performance in complex situations while smoking. There is also evidence showing that nicotine can produce a tranquilizing effect during high emotional and shock situations, while on the other hand stimulating concentration in tedious situations.Now match each of the items(36 to 40)to the appropriate statementNote: There are two extra statements.Statements36. Richard A. Passive smoking is the third preventable cause of death.37. Stanton B. Smokers have the fight to smoke.38. Davis C. Smoking produces some positive effects in some complex situations.39. James D. Second-hand smoke is more harmful to non-smokers than those cancer inducing air pollutants40. WinstonE. Cigarette pollution has caused outdoor environment even worse.F. Smoking can help people get rid of nervousness.G. Smoking is also an environmental issue.PartB下面是五个人对吸烟问题的不同观点。

World Cup DadFor most of my 15 years, my father usually said very little to my mother and me. He preferred reading the newspaper or watching football matches on television to talking to his family.Everything changed one morning. As soon as I came downstairs to breakfast, I could see that he wasn't his usual reserved(缄默的)self. "Can't wait! FIFA World Cup! Big match! Must see!"1 quickly figured out what ail the excitement was about: Dad is a big football fan.I had never been interested in football, but Dad's excitement that morning made me more and more curious. I had to find out why this sport was making my normally reserved father act like a five-year-old on his first trip to Disneyland.Dad decided that we should all eat at a little German restaurant so that we could watch the World Cup while eating. Secretly, I think he was hoping to turn Mum and me into football fans.The match started a few minutes after we entered the restaurant. As I was eating my meal, a loud noise came from the television. Surprised, I looked up at the TV: "Why is that man jumping up and down?" Dad patiently explained:"That's Papa Bouba Diop, my son. It's normal for them to jump up and down after they've scored."Dad explained almost everything to me. His monosyliabic(单音节的)answers were a thing of the past. I loved the new Dad! I watched the rest of the match, becoming more and more interested. When I told my father that I planned to watchmore matches with him, he smiled and gave me a wink(眨眼).

Listening is an extremely complex communicative activity. In order to have a better understanding, to anticipate what is coming is very important.An effective listener should continuously develop more or less specific readiness for what will come next. If a listener hears what he has expected, it will be much easier for him to receive the information.But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation,he will fail to get the message. The skill to anticipate what is coming in listening comprehension depends largely on the listener's familiarity with the theme(主题) of the message.It also depends on the listener's knowledge of the speaker as well as the situation. Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally much easier for us to take in the new information .Therefore,pre-listening preparation seems to play an important role in increasing our comprehension .Before actual listening ,we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic ,discuss it with others ,and then read some related material and do some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully prepared for the coming talks or lectures,we are more likely to become effective listeners. Of course,readiness beforehand is not at all enough .Active thinking must take place all the way through .In fact ,we should always try to think ahead of the speaker.1.The passage is most possible taken from ____ .A.a novelB.a textbookC.a news reportD.a fashion magazine2.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.How to think actively in listening comprehension.B.How to develop specific readiness before listening.C.The skills in anticipating in listening comprehension.D.The importance of anticipating in listening comprehension.3.The skill to anticipate in listening comprehension depends largely on ____ .A.the listener's emotionB.the difficulty of the messageC.the listener's communicative skillsD.The listener's familiarity with the topic4.In order to anticipate ,the first thing to do before actual listening may be ____ .A.do some vocabulary workB.think about the topicC.read some related materialD.discuss the topic with others5.What is the author's attitude towards anticipating in listening comprehension?A.Neutral.B.Positive.C.Negative.D.Critical.答案：1-5 B D D B B。

A major incentive(动力) for college attendance is the belief that it will prepare you for a career. Chances are that the career you want, whether in nursing, counseling, law, or management, requires a college education. Even if the return of your education isn’t as great as it used to be, you would probably rather be a relatively poorly paid lawyer than a secretary or a construction worker; you would probably rather be a manager than a managee. In the sense that a degree is increasingly required for even middle-level jobs, your investment in a college education will still pay off.It can pay off in other ways too. It is a value judgement to say that a college education will make you a better person, but it is a value judgement that the vast majority of college graduates are willing to make survey after survey to demonstrate that people feel very positive about their college education, believing that it has made them better and more tolerant people.Whether it makes you a better person or not, a college education is likely to have a lasting effect on your knowledge and values. If you finish college, you will sit through 30 to 45 different courses. Even the least dedicated student is bound to learn something from these courses. In addition, students learn informally. Whether you go to college in you hometown or across the country, college will introduce you to a greater diversity of people than you’re likely to have experienced before. This diversity will challenge your mind and broaden your horizons.As a result of formal and informal learning, college graduates are more knowledgeable about the world around them, more tolerant and less prejudiced, more active in public and community affairs, and, more open to new ideas.1. It is apparent from the passage that people go to college mainly because they believe ___.A. a college education will provide them with a guarantee of success in lifeB. the economy of their country can’t absorb an army of untrained youngstersC. a college education will make them better qualified for a careerD. the investment in a college education can bring a higher economic return than before2. We can learn from the second paragraph that ___.A. college can hardly help people become better citizensB. most college graduates refuse to make any comment on their college educationC.a college education may not be the best thing for everyoneD. people consider their college education to be of great worth3. The word “dedicated”(Para. 3) could best be replaced by ___.A. hardworkingB. competentC. intelligentD. conservative4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. A college student can enrich his knowledge and broaden his mind through formal and informal learning.B. A college education is likely to be a required credential(文凭) for the career a person wants.C. A college student who doesn’t work hard can get nothing out of the courses he takes.D. A college education tends to have long-range effects on a person’s knowledge and values.5. This passage is primarily concerned with ___.A. the change of people’s attitude toward their college educationB. the benefits of a college educationC. the result of formal and informal learningD. the intercommunication among college students1. 【精析】C事实细节题。
