But Laura, our only daughter, sat quietly, working on her project. Once in a while she would ask how to 31 the name of someone in our family. Next, she would add flowers with small green leaves, complete with grass at the bottom. She finished off each with a sun in the upper right hand comer. Holding them at eye level, she let out a long sigh （叹气）of 32 .

Jack threw the papers on my desk.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Annie, next time you want to change anything, ask me first," he said, turning around and leaving me in anger.

"How dare (敢) he treat me like that?” I thought. I had changed one long sentence, and corrected grammar.

As the weeks went by, I grew to look down upon Jack. One day another of his words left me in tears. I stormed (冲) into his office, and Jack looked up. "What?" he asked.

Suddenly I knew what I had to do. After all, he deserved (应得) it.

I sat across from him and said calmly, "Jack, the way you've been treating me is wrong. I've never had anyone speak to me that way. "

"I promise I will be a friend," I said. "I will treat you as you deserve to be treated, with respect (尊敬) and kindness. You deserve that. Everybody does."

Jack avoided me the rest of the week. I brought cookies to the office one day and left some on his desk. Another day I left a note, "Hope your day is going great," it read.

Over the next few weeks, Jack reappeared. Every time I saw Jack, I smiled at him. After all, that's what friends do.

One year after our "talk" , I discovered I had cancer. I was scared.

One day, Jack stood in the doorway of my hospital room. I waved him in with a smile.

"Tulips," he said. "If you plant them when you get home, they'll come up next spring.

I just want you to know that I think you'll be there to see them when they come up. " Tears clouded my eyes and I reached out my hand.

So you think you know your dog. But how well does your dog know you? She probably recognizes (辨认出) you when she sees you. But can a dog tell by simply looking at you whether you have a happy or an angry expression on your face? Researchers in Austria have taught pet dogs to know the difference.

Dogs are very mindful of sound. When dog owners shout or speak in a strong, angry voice, dogs often act guilty (歉疚的) and quietly move away from the area.

Recently, researchers found that dogs can look at our faces, and tell the difference between a smile and a frown (皱眉). The animals were able to recognize a look of agreement from one of disagreement.

The researchers tried to teach dogs to recognize facial expressions. They showed the dogs two pictures of either the upper or lower half of a person's face. On one picture, the person looked happy. The other appeared angry.

The dogs were then shown pictures of the eyes or mouths of people they had never seen before. They were also shown the left half of the faces used in training. The goal (目的) of the research is to find out if the dogs realize that smiling eyes have the same meaning as a smiling mouth, or angry eyes have the same meaning as an angry mouth. And it turned out that they really did perform very well in these tests.

Once the dogs learned to recognize which picture was happy or angry, they could easily tell the same expressions in pictures of any face.

The study has shown that they can discrinunate these expressions are different. They would connect something nice with the smiley face and something bad with the angry face. But what is not sure of at this point is if they really know the true meanings of them—for example, a frown means angry.

The researchers' findings provide the first certain idea that humans are not the only species (物种) that can read the body language of another species.

46. Scientists did the research by____.

A. having dogs make smiley faces in the test

B. shouting at dogs or speaking to them angrily

C. teaching dogs to tell happy or angry expressions

D. showing pictures of the eyes or mouths of people

47. The word "discriminate" in paragraph 7 means“____”.

A. explain

B. tell

C. accept

D. believe

48. What is the research mainly about?

A. How dogs show their feelings.

B. How dog owners show their feelings.

C. Whether dogs can tell people's feelings.

D. If dogs can tell people's facial expressions.

49. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Humans are the only species that can read body languages.

B. If you shout to your dog in an angry voice, it will act guilty.

C. If you train your dog, it can recognize you by your eyes or mouth.

D. Researchers may study if dogs know the true meaning of a frown next.

One day a bookseller let a big box of books fall on his foot. “Go to see the doctor," said his wife. "No," he said. "I'll wait until the doctor comes into the shop next time.

50 If I go to see him, I'll have to pay him. ”

51 When the bookseller was getting them ready, he told the doctor about his bad foot. The doctor looked at it. "You must put that foot in hot water every night. Then you must put something on it," said the doctor. 52 "Buy this and put it on the foot before you

go to bed every night," he said. "Thank you," said the bookseller. "And now, sir, here are your books. " "How much?" said the doctor. "Two pounds. ”"Good," said the doctor. 53 “Why?" asked the bookseller. “I told you about your foot. I want two pounds for that.

If people come to my house,I ask them to pay one pound for a small thing like that. 54 And I came here, didn't I?"

八、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）

Scientists in the UK have discovered a solar system with five earth－size planets born

at the very beginning of galaxy. The star and its planets are billions of years older than our own sun. That is to say, life might be somewhere in our galaxy in the long past.

We can hear the music of the stars. It's the vibrations（振动）of a 2. 6 billion

－year old star that changed into sound. While researchers now compare it with the sound

of a star that's nearly three billion years older, Pro. Bill Caplin, who led the research,

discovered that he could work out the age of stars from the sound they make.

So as the stars get older, as their outer parts grow larger, and we get these changes to the structure（构造）of the deep inner part, what we find is that the time which the star resonates（产生共振）was made longer.

Pro. Caplin and his team were able to work out that the star, with five planets going around it, which are about the same sizes as our own earth, was more than eleven billion years old. That's 6.5 billion years older than our own sun and the oldest star with such planets discovered to date. It's thought that living organisms（有机物）are more likely to live well in worlds that are about the same size as the earth, as well as having the right temperature and having running water. So the discovery raises the possibility that life might have been there in our own galaxy billions of years before our own earth had appeared.

55. What have the UK scientists discovered?

56. Can we hear the music of the stars?

57. How could the researchers work out the age of the stars?

58. How old is our own sun?

59. Why might life be somewhere before our earth appeared?

My favorite place of interest in Beijing

Of all the places of interest in Beijing, my favourite is Shichahai. It is in the city center. It is full of life and culture, so I really love it.

There is a lot to do and to see there. You can walk around the lake and enjoy many kinds of traditional arts. But the most beautiful view is in the evening. Boating on the lake, you can see beautiful lights dancing on the water. Around the lake, there are hundreds of bars, with many musicians and singers. You can enjoy their performances even without going into any one.

大一英语期末考试试题精选

大一英语期末考试试题精选 又到一个学期的期末了，大家复习好大学英语了吗?为大家精心挑选了一份大学英语第一学期期末试卷，供大家复习使用，希望能够帮助到大家! 大学一年级英语试卷 Part II Reading Comprehension (30 %) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheetwith a single line through the center. Passage One Science is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience. It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues to be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, w ho review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.”

2010级大学英语第一学期期末考试(A卷) Jan., 2011 Part II Reading Comprehension (30 %) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Science is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience. It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues to be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, who review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.” In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite（流星） from Mars that might contain evidence of ancient life on another world. As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time. After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. Some concluded that the “evidence of life”was mostly contamination from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock. Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted? No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists spend years on research, announce their findings, and these findings
