34、个学历和长相都很出众的女孩因为没有自己的想法而没有被录取的事，故应选B项，要有自己的判断力。BHumans love animals and they especially love animals with humanlike personalities. For thisreason, many of the most popular films are either centered on animals or have animals as important characters. Even in a movie that has little or nothing to do wi

35、th animals, a pet can add a certain emotional quality to a films plot. As expected, dogs and cats, the two most popular pets, make up the majority of animal characters in films. But many other less common pets have had starring roles also. Snakes, rats, pigs, rabbits, horses and many others have tou

36、ched our lives through their extraordinary ability to personify humans in ways that humans just cant do. Most movies that feature pets as central characters are family movies that give families a platform around which delicate subjects can be discussed. Often kids have an easier time understanding s

37、ubjects like death and illness if they see it through the eyes of one of these personified animals. These days, computer animation and graphics allow an entirely new generation of pet movies to be made. Animals that before were never seen in a film but now appear on the big screen in life. Whether t

38、hey are lions, elephants, polar bears or some other exotic animals, video stores now have hundreds of titles offering humanlike performances from any type of animal imaginable. Most animal movies have at least a little comedy. Even the saddest of classics such as Bambi or Charlottes Web contain plen

39、ty of humor to relieve the tension and make the movie bearable. These movies almost always carry with them themes of human experiences and a message of hope. Kids learn that though life carries on with pain and sorrow, we learn to live with those facts and enjoy life for its good times. Perhaps one

40、of the best parts of pet movies is the way they help wipe away our stereotypes(固定看法) about certain types of pets. For example, the conflict between cats and dogs is often shown in a fun and nonviolent way in the movies. If these lifelong enemies can find a way to live in harmony, then certainly we h

41、umans should have no trouble doing so. Perhaps it is the fact that animals have so much to teach us about ourselves that makes us love them so much in the movies.55.

45、elieve the tension and make the movie bearable. 作者提到大部分的动画都带有喜剧元素，即使像Bambi or Charlottes Web这两部电影也带有喜剧的特点来缓解人们的情绪。故选A.57. 【答案】D【试题解析】推理判断题，中等难度。根据文章最后一段作者提出动画电影可以改变我们的一些固定看法，比如猫和狗之间的斗争充满幽默而没有暴力，由此得出结论，人类也应从中学习到一些东西。可判断作何对电影态度应为赞同。故选D.58. 【答案】A【试题解析】主旨大意题。很明显本文主要讲述动物影片的特点和通过影片引起的作者的思考，所以这篇文庄主要讲述的是pet

46、s in movies。CAt one time, coyotes(a kind of wolf) were found only in the southwestern United States and in Mexico. In the 1800s, these wild animals began to expand their living areas across North America. Today they live in all states except Hawaii. People have found them on golf courses and in park

47、s. Coyotes have even entered backyards in suburban developments and parking lots of busy shopping malls. There are several reasons for coyotes ability to survive in both wide and urban areas.Because coyotes are smart, they are able to adapt to new places as long as food and shelter are available. Th

48、eir varied diet includes small mammals such as mice, squirrels, and raccoons. They also eat fruits, vegetables and insects. When food is not available in an area, they look for garbage to eat. In most areas, coyotes require only a hidden, protected place for shelter. Another reason coyotes have surv

49、ived is that they have very keen senses of smell, hearing and sight. These senses allow them to easily find new sources of food and to recognize when an enemy is near. Since coyotes can run at a speed of over 40 miles per hour, they can easily escape danger. Finally, coyotes survive because they mul

50、tiply rapidly. Litters are born in late winter or early spring and usually average from four to seven pups. Where food is plentiful, the litters may be eight or nine pups. Since a new litter is born each year, coyotes can triple(增至三倍) their numbers in a year. Humans often feel threatened from coyote

51、s and their strange and frightening nighttime howls. Yet efforts to trap, poison, or relocate(迁徙) the wily animals are usually unsuccessful. Trapping is difficult, poisoning is dangerous to other living things, and relocating coyotes just moves the problem from one place to another. The best solutio

52、n seems to be trying to coexist with them, which, however, requires some caution. Where coyotes wander, cats and small dogs should be kept indoors or in protected areas outdoors. Garbage should be put in containers, and food should not be left outside. With these efforts, it is possible for humans a

53、nd coyotes to share the land.59. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Coyotes can be found around America.B. Coyotes eat both meat and fruits. C.

Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to ac

59、t without thinking. They try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sams bicycle is broken, and he

60、 cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brak

61、es, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he c

62、an look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully.After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on t

63、he gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for exa

64、mple, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short , he has sol

65、ved the problem.63. What is the best title for this passage? A. Six Stages for Repairing Sams BicycleB. Possible Ways to Problem-solving C. Necessities of Problem AnalysisD. Suggestions for Analyzing a Problem64. In analyzing a problem we should do all the following except . A. recognize and define

People often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. C. People may learn from their past experience. D. People can not solve some problems

68、 they meet.【考点】议论文。【文章大意】本文讲的是一般情况下人们的思维方式，很少有人分析他们所遇到的问题，而是试图记住“问题的答案”，进而举例说明解决问题的过程：首先要认识到有问题，接下来对问题进行归类，而且对问题进行研究、找出问题产生的原因。解决问题的过程也可以向别人咨询，找出问题的解决办法。63. 【答案】B【试题解析】主旨大意题。难度中等。本文主要讲述一般情况下人们的思维方式，以及举例说明解决问题的过程。根据原文概括大意，给文章加标题，考查学生的概括和表达能力，所以答案为B。64. 【答案】D【试题解析】细节理解题。中等难度。用排除法，根据第二、三、四段第1句，结合第一自然段第

70、fect, a translation company, started her business 18 years ago with Phil Shawe, both were attending New York Universitys Stern School of business. They never realized just how many situations would require their services, “We have translated black box data after planes crashed,” says Elting. “Transl

They started their business in Shawes dormitory room. While Shawe finished his MBA, Elting employed some li
