阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
A classical guitarist was excited to hear from police that his valuable guitar had been found. It disappeared almost a year ago when he got out of a cab and forgot to take the guitar with him. Laurence Lennon, 44, said he was running late that day. He was talking to his manager on his cell phone when he dashed out of the taxi. He said that he gave the driver $ 60 and told him to keep the change. He walked through the front doors of the concert hall still talking on the phone to his manager.
Upon discovering his loss, Lennon used his cell phone to call the police. The policewoman asked him for the name of the cab company, the number of the cab, and the name of the driver. He said that she had to be kidding.
She told Lennon that he could file a missing items report at the police station or online. Lennon asked for the online address. She told him that finding the guitar might take a couple of years—finding guitars was not as important as finding murderers and marijuana smokers. Then she told him to have a nice day.
“This year has been depressing,” said Lennon. “I had to postpone the recording of two new CDs. I've been using borrowed guitars. And I was losing hope of ever recovering my guitar.”
Lennon was reunited with his $ 100,000 musical instrument yesterday. The case and the guitar had been discovered in the corner of a coffee house only two blocks from where Lennon had lost it in the first place. Lennon had offered a $ 10,000 reward for its return. He said he would give the reward to the coffee house owner, who had informed the police.
1.It can be inferred from this reading passage that________.
A.Lennon gave the driver much more money than what was actually needed
B.Lennon couldn't give any useful information about the driver and his cab
C.Lennon was too busy talking to his friend to remember to pay the cab driver
D.Lennon used to work at the concert hall in
答案:
B 推理判断题。
根据第二段第二句“The policewoman asked him for the name of the cab company...and the name of the driver. He said that she had to be kidding.”说明他对出租汽车公司和司机的情况一概不知,认为警察这样问他简直是在开玩笑。
2.The policewoman told Lennon________.
A.not to worry about the guitar
B.to have a nice day in
C.to find the cab driver and talk to him
D.to wait with patience
答案:
D 推理判断题。
根据第三段第三句“...finding the guitar might take a couple of years.”说明警察认为寻找这把吉他会很难,大概需要几年时间,因此他得耐心等待。
选项A“不要着急这把吉他”不符合警察的本意和事实;B“祝他在纽约市玩得愉快”,原文中这是警察对他的安慰和祝福,不是事情的最重要内容;C“去找出租车司机跟他谈一下”这显然不可能,只有D“耐心等待”符合警察的本意。
3.Which of the following is the most important according to the policewoman?
A.Finding a lost guitar. B.Finding the cab driver.
C.Finding murderers. D.Enjoying one's own life
答案:
C 细节题。
根据第三段“...finding guitars was not as important as finding murderers....”说明在警察看来寻找杀人犯比寻找吉他(当然和其他任何事相比都)更重要。
4.The underlined word“depressing”can be best explained by“________”.
A.making people feel sad
B.making people unfortunate
C.making people losing money
D.making people losing good luck
答案:
A 词义理解题。
根据第四段第二句“I had to postpone the recording of two new CDs. I've been using borrowed guitars. And....”可推测出Lennon度过了一年很痛苦的日子,主要是丢掉了心爱的吉他和由于此事给他带来的种种事业中的不顺畅,因此可推测出depressing在这种的意思相当于making people feel sad。
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
Grasslands need time to rest when cattle and other animals feed on them. Moving animals from one area of pasture (牧场) to another can provide the time needed for new growth. This is called rotational grazing .(循环放牧)
Rotational grazing is good for the land and the animals, and it can save money. This form of grazing can reduce the need for pesticide (农药) treatments by reducing the growth of weeds. And it can limit the need for chemical fertilizers by letting animal wastes do the job of natural fertilizer. Rotational grazing can even help prevent wildfires by keeping grasslands in good condition.
Letting animals feed continually and intensively (集中地) in the same grazing areas can require costly replanting. Animals eat the most desirable growth first. When that keeps happening, the roots do not have enough time to recover. As a result, less desirable plants may replace them. Intensively used grasslands are also harmed as the soil is continually crushed under the weight of heavy animals.
While rotational grazing can save money over time, it also requires planning. And that starts with a good map to mark fences, water supplies and grazing areas.
Changing methods of grazing also requires time. Farmers may want to put up electric fences to enclose (圈起) grazing areas, called paddocks. The paddocks will need water. Some farmers design a path for animals from different paddocks to drink from a common watering place.
Farmers can start rotational grazing by removing animals from a pasture when the grass is eaten to less that five centimeters. The pasture is then kept empty until the grass grows to more than fifteen centimeters high.
Sheep and goats may require special preparations. They may need stronger fences than other animals. And while they eat the grass, they may need guard animals to protect them from animals that would like to eat them.
67. Grasslands won't depend on chemical fertilizers when __________________.
A. the soil of grasslands is naturally rich
B. animal wastes serve as natural fertilizer
C. rotational grazing can prevent wildfires
D. grasslands are usually in good condition
68. The function of putting up electric fences is to _____________.
A. divide the pasture into paddocks B. encourage animals to get around
C. stop animals staying at one place D. provide water supplies for animals
69. Why do sheep and goats need guard animals?
A. They can easily jump over fences. B. They don't like to stay in the paddock
C. wild animals are likely to attack them
D. Tigers and lions prefer sheep and goats
70. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Giving grasslands a rest B. How to feed animals
C. Keeping animals moving in pastures D. Grass growth and grazing ways

(D) BACA

One day, a slave owner entered a local store and threatened a young boy who was his slave. At first, the slave refused to move and ran for the door. The slave owner reached for a heavy weight.

When we read newspapers, we often come across such English words as "AIDS" and "PK." When we watch TV, we frequently hear words like "NBA" or "PM2.5." When we speak, we automatically use words like "OUT" or "Bye-bye." English words and expressions like these are getting popular. They have already become part of our daily language. And 239 English words have been included in the latest Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese.
The inclusion has started a heated discussion. A group of scholars signed a letter of complaint over the inclusion of these English words, which, they think, goes against Chinese language policies. They not only worry that Chines
