that is because their languages are quite similar, though not without small distinctions. 55 , they can communicate easily in their mother tongues. part iii reading comprehension (30 marks) directions: read the following three passages. each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. for each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c and d. choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ai received a call today asking if i would be willing to bring food to a family in need. the mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. of course, i responded with an immediate “yes！”. as i planned the meal in my head, i reflected on how many times over the years i had been asked to prepare food. i have done so countless times with a very open heart.but the truly amazing thing is that i have received double over the course of my life. when my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. a woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. the gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.later in my life, when i was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. they arranged babysitting for my twoyearold daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. even when i was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. how we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.food is all about comfort. it feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. when you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. i know that i will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. it is truly a gift i want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.56. the author has given lots of food to others because_a. she is poor at cooking bshe is a church membercshe is friendly to others dshe has received others food57. we can learn from the first paragraph that the author_a. had to stay in bed for several weeks bknew the family in need very wellcwas glad to be able to lend a hand dwas tired of preparing food58. which of the following is true about the author?a. her mother died when she was in hospital.b. she didnt get enough food during her pregnancy.cshe received food as well as comfort in her hard times.dshe thinks offering food is the best way to show love.59. what do we know about the authors family?a. her family is too poor to buy enough food.b. her family lives not far from a church.c. her husband is not good at cooking.dshe has a babysitter taking care of her twins.60. according to the passage, which of the following conclusions can we get?a. a good beginning makes a good ending.bone good turn deserves another.cactions speak louder than words.devery man has his faults.bit is often said that you cannot “teach an old dog new tricks”, but three new zealand dogs have decided to prove otherwise by learning a skill - driving a car! whats even more impressive is that the three who have become skilled in just eight weeks are not special dogs that belong to some rich owners, but abandoned ones at new zealands spca. to get their training started, 10-month old porter, 18-month-old monty and one-year-old ginny were selected from a pool of seven potential candidates and moved to animal q, a talent agency that teaches animals tricks for movies and television shows. the driving classes began with teaching the dogs some basic driving techniques like turning the steering wheels（方向盤）and applying the brakes. after that the dogs practiced everything they had learnt behind the wheels of a motorized（裝上發(fā)動機(jī)的）car. then finally, it was time for the big test- driving a real car! human cars are not really built for four-legged animals, so the car they drove was adjusted so that the dogs could sit comfortably and easily reach the steering wheel with their paws. though they all seemed to do very well, the real test came on monday night when monty, the best driver of the three, showed his great driving skill on live television. why would the spca go through so much trouble to highlight the skills of homeless dogs? the reason is to show that adopting a dog from a shelter does not mean owners are getting a pet that is worse than one purchased from a keeper. the ceo of the spca is hoping that this unusual event will be enough to convince the residents of new zealand to consider them, when searching for a pet. we surely hope so, meanwhile we are almost certain that these three pioneers have at least landed their names in the guinness world records, creating a category that probably does not even exist today! 61. who do the three dogs belong to? a. some rich owners. b. animal q. c. a shelter. d. a zoo.62. the car the dogs drove was adjusted _. a. because is was too big for the dogs to drive b. because it had no steering wheels and brakes c. to ensure the dogs could sit comfortably and drive easily d. to motorize the car and turn it to be a real one 63. which is the right order of the following events? a. teaching the dogs some basic driving techniques. b. selecting three dogs and moving them to animal q. c. the dogs practiced everything they had learnt in a motorized car.d. choosing the best driver to show his great driving skill on live television. e. driving a real car. a. a-b-c- d-e b. b-a-c-e-d c. b- d- a-c-e d. a- e- c-b-d 64. why does the spca decide to teach the three dogs to learn to drive a car? a. to prove old dogs can learn new tricks. b. to teach them performing tricks for movies and television shows. c. to provide amusing performances for homeless children d. to encourage people to adopt the abandoned dogs. 65. what can we learn from the passage? a. a new guinness category for driving dogs will probably be created. b. abandoned dogs are much cleverer than house-kept ones. c. all the dogs at new zealands spca will soon be adopted.d. new zealand has the most homeless dogs among all countriescabout a third of all common cancers in the united states, china and britain could be prevented each year if people ate healthier food, drank less alcohol and exercised more, health experts said on friday. reports from the world cancer research fund (wcrf) suggest that making simple lifestyle changes could prevent some 40 percent of breast cancers alone in britain and the united states, as well as tens of thousands of stomach cancers. “even in 2011, people are dying unnecessarily from cancers that could be prevented through keeping a healthy weight, diet, physical activity and other lifestyle factors,” said a wcrf medical and scientific adviser. wcrf findings are supported by world health organization (who) reports, which say regular exercise can prevent many diseases such as cancers and heart diseases. cancer is a leading cause of death around the world and its incidence(發(fā)病率) is rising. each year around 12.7 million people discover they have cancer and 7.6 million people die from some form of the disease. there are about 200 known types of cancer. rachel thompson, the wcrfs head of science, said that while the message was simple that not smoking, eating good food and being a healthy weight can help ward off many cancers it was still a difficult one to get across. the who says adults should do at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. this could be done by walking for 30 minutes five times per week or by cycling to work every day. peter baldini, head of the world lung foundation, also called on all governments to introduce smoke-free laws and raise the price of cigarettes. tobacco kills millions of smokers every year, and tobacco-related lung cancers also kill hundreds of thousands of people who dont smoke but have been exposed to it second-hand. “there isnt a magic bullet to cure all forms of cancer, but we have the opportun
