4.Passage TwoThe lion may be the most famous of all the predators of Africa, but one of the most fascinating is the wild dog. Wild dogs are fairly small, averaging seventy pounds, with round, fanlike ears that look too big for their heads. They have shaggy brown coats with scattered patches of white. One of these animals by itself looks harmless or even comical. But when they band together, in packs of up to forty, the wild dogs become dangerous predators that tirelessly run down and kill animals that are many times their own size.Wild dogs have to be good hunters in order to feed their large families; a single female can have as many as sixteen pups at a time. But usually only one female in a pack breeds at a time, and all the pack members help to care for the young. At first, the pups feed on their mother's milk. Then the other dogs begin to bring back meat from the kill, carrying it in their stomachs and throwing it up when the pups come running to them to beg for food. Finally, the young dogs begin to go along on hunts. At this time one of the most striking differences between wild dogs and lions can be seen. When a pride of lions makes a kill, the adult males always eat their fill first. But the wild dogs let the pups feed first, even when they are still too young to really help in making the kill.36. A good title for this passage would be ______.A. Africa's Wild DogsB. Killers of the PlainsC. Predators of AfricaD. The Greedy Lion

    Study Says Dogs Can Smell Cancer
    Dogs are known for their sense of smell. They can find missing people and things like bombs and illegal drugs .Now a study suggests that the animal known as man's best friend can even find bladder（膀胧）cancer.
    Cancer cells are thought to produce chemicals with unusual odors（气味）.Researchers think dogs have the ability to smell these odors,even in very small amounts,in urine（尿）.The sense of smell in dogs is thousands of times better than in humans.
    The study follows reports of cases where,for example,a dog showed great interest in a growth on the leg of its owner. The mole（痣）was later found to be skin cancer.
    Carolyn Willis led a team of researchers at Amersham Hospital in England.They trained different kinds of dogs for the experiment. The study involved urine collected from bladder cancer patie nts,from people with other diseases and from healthy people.
    Each dog was tested eight times.In each test there were seven samples for the dogs to smell.
    The dog was supposed to signal the one from a bladder cancer patient by lying down next to it.
    Two cocker spaniels（短腿长毛垂耳小猎犬）were correct fifty-six percent of the time. But the scientists reported an average success rate of forty-one percent.
    As a group,the study found that the dogs chose the correct sample twenty-two out of fifty-four times .That is almost three times more often than would be expected by chance alone.
    The British Medical Journal published the research .In all,thirty-six bladder cancer patients and one hundred and eight other people took part.
    During training,all the dogs reportedly even identified a cancer in a person who had tested
    healthy before the study.Doctors found a growth on the person's right kidney（肾）.
    Bladder cancer is the ninth most common cancer worldwide.The International Agency for Research on Cancer says this disease kills more than one hundred thousand people each year. Doctors say cigarette smoking is the leading cause of bladder cancer.

    Which is NOT true of bladder cancer?
    A: It is the 9th most common cancer worldwide.
    B: It can be identified only by dogs.
    C: It kills more than 100,000 people each year.
    D: It is mainly caused by smoking.

    答案：B
    解析：
    第四段尤其第一句明确说到英国的一所医院的研究小组进行这项试验。


    第六段第二句说，科学家报告，平均成功率为41%。


    第四段最后一句说，尿液的收集来自膀耽癌病人、其他病人和健康人。第八段又说，总共有36位膀耽癌病人和108位其他人参加。


    第九段说到，这位以前被检查为健康的人被确认患有癌症，医生查出右肾长有瘤子。


    最后一段三个句子分别证明A、C、D三个选项是正确的，只有B项没有提到，根据推理，也不可能是正确的。

  • 第6题：

    They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia (痴呆). The duties of these "guide dogs for the mind" will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals. The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning. The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer"s Scotland and Dogs for the disabled. Joyce Gray of Alzheimer"s Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine." The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer"s, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don"t need to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond. The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.What is true about the people suffering from dementia

    • A、They would like to stay with other people.

    Study Says Dogs Can Smell Cancer
    Dogs are known for their sense of smell. They can find missing people and things like bombs and illegal drugs .Now a study suggests that the animal known as man's best friend can even find bladder（膀胧）cancer.
    Cancer cells are thought to produce chemicals with unusual odors（气味）.Researchers think dogs have the ability to smell these odors,even in very small amounts,in urine（尿）.The sense of smell in dogs is thousands of times better than in humans.
    The study follows reports of cases where,for example,a dog showed great interest in a growth on the leg of its owner. The mole（痣）was later found to be skin cancer.
    Carolyn Willis led a team of researchers at Amersham Hospital in England.They trained different kinds of dogs for the experiment. The study involved urine collected from bladder cancer patie nts,from people with other diseases and from healthy people.
    Each dog was tested eight times.In each test there were seven samples for the dogs to smell.
    The dog was supposed to signal the one from a bladder cancer patient by lying down next to it.
    Two cocker spaniels（短腿长毛垂耳小猎犬）were correct fifty-six percent of the time. But the scientists reported an average success rate of forty-one percent.
    As a group,the study found that the dogs chose the correct sample twenty-two out of fifty-four times .That is almost three times more often than would be expected by chance alone.
    The British Medical Journal published the research .In all,thirty-six bladder cancer patients and one hundred and eight other people took part.
    During training,all the dogs reportedly even identified a cancer in a person who had tested
    healthy before the study.Doctors found a growth on the person's right kidney（肾）.
    Bladder cancer is the ninth most common cancer worldwide.The International Agency for Research on Cancer says this disease kills more than one hundred thousand people each year. Doctors say cigarette smoking is the leading cause of bladder cancer.

    The person who had tested healthy before the study______.
    A: dropped out
    B: passed away
    C: was found to have cancer
    D: was found to remain healthy

    答案：C
    解析：
    第四段尤其第一句明确说到英国的一所医院的研究小组进行这项试验。


    第六段第二句说，科学家报告，平均成功率为41%。


    第四段最后一句说，尿液的收集来自膀耽癌病人、其他病人和健康人。第八段又说，总共有36位膀耽癌病人和108位其他人参加。


    第九段说到，这位以前被检查为健康的人被确认患有癌症，医生查出右肾长有瘤子。


    最后一段三个句子分别证明A、C、D三个选项是正确的，只有B项没有提到，根据推理，也不可能是正确的。

    Which of the following can best describe the publishers’ opinion?
    A

    They will convert more picture books to digital format because of the increased demand for children’s e-books

    B

    They will increase the number of print picture books because many parents want their children to be surrounded by print books.

    C

    Print books are reduced to gift.

    D

    Parents would change their reading habits due to their concern for their children.


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    本题需要综合文章第五，第六段，第七段的信息来回答。第五段提出，尽管费时费力，出版商们将增加纸质书籍的数量。而文中没有提到这是因为“children’s e-books”需求增加，所以A选项错误。第五段提到许多出版商认为家长“prefer the print version”，第六段中麦克米伦儿童出版社董事“Jon Yaged”指出“There’s definitely a predisposition to print”。由此可以推断，出版商们会增加“picture books”的产量。紧接着在第七段给出一个纽约企业家的例子，他希望自己的孩子可以“grow up with”纸质书籍。因此可以看出B选项说出版商将会增印纸质书籍由于家长希望孩子“be surrounded by print books”是正确选项。C和D选项不是“publisher’s opinion.”，因此可以排除。
