I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it! One morning, howeve
12、r, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”， “pitiful”， and “dying”， which sounded ominous. Christmas was coming. “Do
13、nt expect any presents this year，” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, thatll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. Id never seen him cry before. The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it
14、.From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? Hes all right？” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home！” “Thank God！” I heard Mum cry. From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What

18、ul”， and “dying”可知该词意思是“令人害怕的”。虽然其他三个词均表示消极含义，但只有fearful表示“我”害怕“弟弟”离“我”而去。58. C推理判断题。从第四段最后两句As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. Id never seen him cry before.可知父亲感到十分伤心。59. C主旨大意题。第一段一开始便定义我的弟弟Richard是一件特殊的圣诞礼物。虽然弟弟Richard差点离我们而去，但后来还是得以平安回家，因此圣诞节并不悲惨。B和D选项外延过大，此段材料只是截取生活中的一个片段，并非整个和Richard一起生活
19、的全部。（201*全国II） For those who study the development of intelligence（智力）in the animal world, self-awareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware（意识）of itself has a highlevel of intelligence.Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is,
20、 its own reflected image（反射出的影像）Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying very little attention to the reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have been shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.Now another animal has joined th
21、e club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test. We thought that elephants were the next important animal, said Diana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M.
22、 Plotnik and Fans BM. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants seemed like cousins to apes anddolphins. The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo. They putan 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals play area (out of the
23、sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies. Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face.
24、 She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.Diana Reiss said, We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way.45. What can mirror tests tell us about animals? A. Whether the
25、y have large brains. B Whether they have self-awareness. C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises. D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.46. Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text? A. They are most familiar to readers. B They are big favorites with zoo visitors. C. They are in
26、cluded in the study by Reiss. D. They are already known to be intelligent.47. What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty? A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror. B. She recognized her own image in the mirror. C. She painted a mark on her own face. D. She found the hidden camera.【答案】BD

35、evice against Speeding.阅读理解-EThe financial crisis is reminding Americans of a lesson they first learned in childhood: Share and share alike.
