It was founded in 1866 by Henry Bergh, a wealthy res

12、ident of New York City. Bergh was horrified by the cruelty toward animals that he observed daily on city streets, particularly with respect to the large number of working horses in New York City, as well as its many stray cats and dogs.Bergh decided to act. He enlisted the support of some of New Yor

13、k Citys wealthiest and most elite citizens. Together they wrote and signed the charter that stated their mission: to reduce pain, fear, and suffering among all animals. The newly founded ASPCA realized they needed more than kind words to deal with what they saw as a growing problem. Therefore, the o

14、rganization, through its founding members, persuaded the New York State legislature to pass the countrys first effective animal anti-cruelty law.From a small organization of a few concerned citizens, the ASPCA has developed into a nationally recognized force in protecting animals. In New York City,

15、the ASPCA continues to rescue and shelter animals and to educate school children and the general public about animals and their care. It now runs a full-service veterinary hospital in the city as well. Beyond New York City and State, the ASPCA has led many national movements to help animals by infor

16、ming the public about animal welfare issues and asking for changes in federal laws.And what of Henry Bergh? His vision lives on today at the ASPCA. For over 135 years, the ASPCA has taken a leading role in promoting the humane treatment of animals. In carrying on the work started by Bergh, the ASPCA

17、 promotes both the spirit and the letter of the law. Henry Bergh would be amazed.21. According to the passage, the ASPCA was most likely created to .A. start a hospital for animals B. find new homes for animalsC. protect animals from mistreatment D. educate the public about animal diseases22. The la

18、st line of the passage says, “Henry Bergh would be amazed.” What probably would amaze Bergh most is .A. the mission of the ASPCAB. the growth and spread of the ASPCAC. the creation of a veterinary hospital for animalsD. the passing of the first effective animal anti-cruelty law23. The author wrote t

19、his passage intending to .A. ask readers to support veterinary hospitalsB. persuade readers to propose new state lawsC. show readers how to found a national organizationD. inform readers about an organization and its historyBThe 2014 Nobel Prize for Literature went to the French novelist “for the ar

20、t of memory with which he has uncovered the life-world of the occupation”. Although the 69-year-old writer is a very popular literary figure in France, he is little known elsewhere. So who is this Patrick Modiano, why does his memory have such an influence upon him, and what exactly has he uncovered

21、?Modiano was born in a suburb of Paris right after World War II ended in Europe in July 1945. His father was a Jewish-Italian businessman who met his Belgian actress mother during the Nazi occupation of Paris. As the New Yorker magazine put it，Europeans born in 1945 share a conditionthey escaped the

22、 war, but “not the taint (污点) of the war”. Modianos life has been influenced by Nazi Germanys occupation during the war, and his familys connections to it. According to New York-based newspaper Forward, his father survived the War dishonorably. When Paris Jews were brought together to be sent to con

23、centration camps, the businessman did not join them but spent the time making money from deals with Nazis on the black market. “The novelist has a duty to record the lives of the people who have disappeared, the people who were made to disappear,” French writer Clemence Boulouque, also an expert in

24、Jewish studies, told The New Yorker magazine. In his more than three dozen novels, Modiano has returned again and again to the same themes: Jewishness, the Nazi occupation, and loss of identity. His characters collect pieces of old evidence, handwriting, photographs, police files, and newspaper cutt

25、ings. His most admired novel, Missing Person, is a good example. Its the story about a detective who has lost his memory. He tries to find out who he really is by following his own steps through history. Although Modianos win is a surprise outside France, people are celebrating in his home country.

26、Modiano is the 15th French literature winner. After Le Clezios 2008 win, it seemed unlikely that there would be another so soon. 24. What is the passage mainly about? A. A literary figures personal affairs. B. A famous novelists family background. C. A Nobel Prize winner and his literary achievement

27、. D. European peoples sufferings during World War II. 25. Why did Modiano win the Nobel Prize? A. Because of his extraordinary character. B. Because of his unique way of recording history. C. Because of his characters unusual experiences. D.Because of his special connections to the war. 26. What can

28、 be inferred from the passage?A.Modianos parents were sent to the concentration camp. B.Modianos winning the Nobel Prize was beyond expectation. C.Modianos father had nothing to do with the Nazis. D.Clemence Boulouque is also of Jewish origin. CDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetab

29、le dietWe are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We ate paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically. Di

30、et products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage

31、 and go straight for the scale instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels. On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we dont have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle. The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that th
