It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reason why people keep a d

46、og has changed. In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks from other beasts. And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dog would not eat what w

47、as caught without permission.But now people in cities need not protect themselves against attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has n

48、o friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.31. According to the passage, in the old da

49、ys people trained dogs.A. for protection against robberyB. just for funC.for companionshipD.for protection against other animals32. The word “companionship " in Paragraph 2 means.A. worshipB. treasureC.friendly relationshipD.partnership33. The dogs were used for hunting because.A. they were goo

50、d huntersB.they obeyed their mastersC.they were useful for protectionD.they did not eat other animals34.

51、that.A. dogs can be helpful to those who need companyB. city people always feel lonelyC.dogs can be interestingD.the city can be a very dangerous placePassage 5How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike

52、 animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds

53、, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations-the thing they bring up beforeour minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past;

54、and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call liter

55、ary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly an

56、d vulgar.36. The origin of language is.A. a legend handed down from the past B. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a question difficult to answerD. a problem not yet solved37. What is true about words?A. They are used to express feelings only. B. They can not be written down.C. They are simply soun

57、ds.D. They are mysterious.38. The real power of words lies in their.A. propertiesB. characteristicsC. peculiarityD. representative function39. By " association, the author means.A. a special qualityB. a joining of ideas in the mindC. an appearance which is puzzlingD. a strange feature40. Which

58、of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?A. He is no more than a master of words.B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.C. He can move men to tears.D. His style is always charming.Passage 6We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. B

59、ut most mistakes are about people. " Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? “When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did heenvy my luck?When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it lattooWhy do we go wrong about
