9、y,” said Mark when their neighbor opened her door. “Would you like us to shovel（铲） your sidewalk and driveway?” Shoveling was Jamies idea, a way to earn enough money for the new Ocean Kingdom video game that came out the next day.Mrs. Grady was happy, “That would be wonderful, boys. I think the job

10、is getting to be too much for me.”“It will cost 10 dollars,” Jamie said. “If thats OK,” Mark added.“Oh dear,” Mrs. Grady said disappointedly, “I havent been able to get to the bank. I can offer homemade cookies, but I realize thats not what you had in mind.”Mark was going to say that Mrs. Grady coul

11、d pay them another time, but Jamie cut him off. “Well come back later.”Mrs. Grady doesnt look like the person whod come to Marks rescue last summer when Mr. Dunns dog Goldie had just wanted to play, but Mark didnt feel comfortable around big dogs. He wanted to call for help, but his tongue seemed lo

12、cked behind his teeth. Then Mrs. Gradys front door had flown open. She must have seen him from across the street. “Hold on, Mark. Im coming!” “Goldie” shed called. As soon as Goldie had turned her head, Mrs. Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog. She wasnt much taller than Mark, but shed stood

13、firm as a rock in front of him. “Goldie, go home!” Then shed swept her broom to hurry the dog along. “Get!” Goldie had obeyed.When Mark showed thanks to Mrs. Grady, Mrs. Grady laughed. “It was nothing. Good neighbors watch out for each other, dont they?”And now Mrs. Grady needed Mark as much as hed

14、needed her last summer.

17、 D. Actions speak louder than words. CAccording to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.The farm animals, who are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar

18、 humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel.The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society: Open Science, shows the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former Presid

19、ent Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to

20、 do so declined by about 15 percent the same rate at which a humans ability to perform the same task declines.“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent, individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Camb

21、ridge study. “Weve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntingtons disease, affect this ability

22、.“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntingtons disease, that develop over a long time and affect cognitive abilities. Our study gives us an

23、other way to monitor how these abilities change,” Morton said.8. According to the new research, whats unusual about sheep?A. They have large brains.B. They can recognize human faces from photographs.C. They can tell animals from humans.D. They can recognize their owners.9. How did the researchers tr

24、ain the sheep?A. By guiding them to follow their handlers.B. By showing photos of famous people.C. By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.D. By giving food rewards.10. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The new discovery is beneficial to the study of cognitive ability changes.B. The

25、sheeps face-recognition ability stays the same when shown photos at any angle.C. Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.D. The sheeps face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain.11. Whats the passage mainly about?A. A Wonderful Scientist B. How Sheep Recognize

26、 Each OtherC. A New discovery about Sheep D. The Life of SheepDThe word tolerance is widely used in liberal democracies(自由民主). It indicates a positive meaning. Politicians urge us to be tolerant towards minorities. Educators teach us to be tolerant towards the other. The press is full of references

27、to the need to display tolerance when faced with individuals or groups espousing(拥护) a different view or holding a different religious belief. A tolerant society is an objective sought after by anyone who believes in the values of democracy. A tolerant individual is attributed(认为是) with virtuous qua

28、lities.The question we must ask is whether we have been using the word tolerance fully aware of its meaning and whether we have applied it correctly to reflect what we really wish to convey.The word tolerance means to bear, or to bear with. If I tolerate something or someone, I basically say that I

29、am ready to bear it or him. I can tolerate a bad smell or a noisy neighbour. The act of toleration forces me to desist from conveying my objection to the existence of a phenomenon, which I find difficult to bear. A bad smell or a noisy neighbour is considered by me to be an objectionable phenomenon.

30、 By tolerating either of them, I am not transforming the bad smell or the noisy neighbour into positive phenomena. Lets be honest: I dont have a different taste when it comes to bad smells. I simply dislike it and wish that it disappears. I dont respect the noisy neighbour. I would rather have him s

31、top at once the noise he is making so I can live in peace.A tolerant attitude involves the grant(授给物) of a favour, not a right. The question we should ask ourselves is whether we would ever wish a parliament(议会) to make laws according to certain actions interpreted as a favour rather than a right? I

32、ndeed, would we ever wish anyone to listen to our views and accept us the way we are simply because he is kind enough to tolerate us?12. The first two paragraphs are mainly intended to show that _.A. tolerance is a symbol of liberal democraciesB. peoples understanding of tolerance is one-sidedC. democratic society always advocates tolerance D. tolerance can be applied to many situations13.
