10、d a mysterious lives of their own as well. They never become tame(温顺) like dogs and horses. As a result, humans have learned to respect their independence.Most cats remain doubtful of humans all their lives. One of the things that attracts us most about cats is the popular belief that they have nine

11、 lives. Obviously, there is good deal of truth in this idea. A cats ability to survive falls is based on fact.Recently the New York Animal Medical Centre made a study of 132 cats over a period of five months. All these cats had one experience in common: they had fallen off high buildings, yet only e

12、ight of them died from shock or injuries. Of course, New York is the ideal place for such an interesting study, because there is no shortage of tall buildings. There are plenty of high-rise windowsills（窗台） to fall from! One cat, Sabrina, fell 32 storeys（层）, yet only suffered from a broken tooth. Cat

13、s behave like well-trained paratroopers (跳伞运动员), a doctor said. It seems that the further cats fall, the less they are likely to injure themselves. In a long drop, they reach speeds of 60 miles an hour and more. At high speeds, falling cats have time to relax. They stretch out their legs like flying

14、 squirrels. This increases their air-resistance and reduces the shock of impact (冲击力) when they hit the ground.21. We find cats endlessly interesting because_.A. we feel there is a good deal we do not know about their livesB. we believe that cats have nine livesC. they are different from dogs and ho

15、rsesD. they can reach a speed of 60 miles an hour while falling22. Cats can survive great falls mainly because _.A. the further they fall, the less likely they are to injure themselvesB. a cats ability to survive is based on factC. a falling cat relaxes its legs and so increases its air-resistanceD.

17、lan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their childrens safety on the roads. Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more t

18、han three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will be attending their

19、nearest school. The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake (agree) to provide free transport to the school. But now the

Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government offici

21、al has said the cost to parents should be less than 20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick

22、up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.24. What is the aim of the plan? A. To prevent the students road accident

23、s. B. To relieve the traffic pressure. C. To save time for the parents and students. D. To help the parents save money.25. How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost? A. By letting the bus run in the morning only. B. By limiting the number of the students. C. By getting t

24、he support from the headmaster. D. By linking the new bus service with the existing one.26. Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out? A. The bus company will make much more money. B. The children can choose whatever school they like. C. The parents can get rid of their worries.

25、D. The students in Impington School can have free bus rides.27. This passage is most probably_. A. a personal letter B. an advertisement C. a headmasters report D. a newspaper articleCBeijing has started a battle to get rid of “Chinglish” (Chinese English).

A road sign on the Changan Street, for example, advised: “To Take Notice of Safe; The Slippery are Very Crafty,” a warning that the sidewalk was slippery（滑）. Anoth

28、t everyone shares the disdain（蔑视）of the Beijing government for the mixed language. “The choice of words is pretty much. One can either choose the verbs, adverbs, nouns or whatever one likes,” explained one Hong Kong educator on an Internet website.So many examples exist that several Internet sites h

29、ave been set up to collect Chinglish phrases. Many come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with “Keep this candle out of children” and a model boat-curiously named Posh Sailboat-which means “Please dont place it in dusty places.”If the battle against Chinglish is successfu

30、l, Chinese will also turn their attention to the English-language versions of newspapers, which play an even more important role in teaching right English.28.
