阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Name a female celebrity who is 5'2" and weighs 280 pounds.
Give up? It's Koko, the world's best known living gorilla(大猩猩).
Koko is impressive. But it's her brains, not physical strength, that have earned her fame. This ape is smart!
Koko was born on July 4, 1971. As a baby at the San Francisco Zoo, she was introduced to Francine “Penny” Patterson, a graduate psychology student specializing in communication. Penny wanted to try to teach Koko sign language. The zoo gave her the green light.
Under Penny's guidance, Koko eventually mastered over a thousand words in a certain form of American Sign Language. Surprisingly, Koko also demonstrated she could combine these signs to express thoughts and feelings. Both she and Penny soon became media favorites. But the experiment led to another unexpected result: Penny and Koko developed a deep emotional bond.
No one was more amazed by this than Penny.“I was expecting an animal project and thought I could easily leave it after four years,” she admits. “But what I ended up with was a daughter. And you can't leave your daughter after four years.”
In 1976 Penny and others founded The Gorilla Foundation. TGF's mission is to “bring interspecies(物种间) communication to the public, in order to save gorillas from dying out, and call on our children to create a better future for all the great apes”. Since then, TGF has fought hard to prevent the hunting of gorillas for meat.
As the numbers of wild gorillas are few, Koko remains childless. She has rejected all suitors(求婚者) so far, focusing her love as a mother instead on her cat, Smoky.
Will Koko finally find “Mr. Right”? Only time will tell. Until then, Smoky is likely to remain the world's only cat who thinks of a gorilla as “Mom”!
1.The fact about the gorilla is that ________.
[ ]
A.it is not big enough since it has a height of 5'2" and a weight of 280 pounds
B.it is the only living gorilla in the San Francisco Zoo
C.it is so clever that it can communicate with people through Sign Language
D.it has lost its nature so that it has refused all the suitors
2.The reason why Penny was able to succeed in teaching Koko was that ________.
[ ]
A.she loved animals and took Koko for her own daughter
B.the zoo gave her the permission to train Koko
C.she worked for many years in the zoo and knew Koko well enough
D.she was specialized in communication
3.The underlined words “emotional bond” may have the meaning of ________.
[ ]
A.mother-daughter love
B.trainer-learner care
C.human-animal friendship
D.gorilla-cat relationship
4.Which statement of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
[ ]
A.Penny did not expect it would be hard for her to part Koko after four years' experiment.
B.Penny set up TGF in order to protect gorillas from being killed.
C.Smoky has all the time looked on Koko as her mother.
D.Koko will find “Mr. Right” when she is set free into the wild.
阅读下列材料,从所给的六个选项(
A、B、C、D、E和F)中,选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。The following people are expressing their thoughts(1-5)to show their concern for food, environment and so on.After that are pieces of related information(A-F).Now decide which piece of information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions(1-5)and mark your answer letter(A-F)on your answer sheet.There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.
________1.How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood!But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were.Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.
________2.More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.
________3.Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides.
________4.I'm very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.
________5.Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.
A.“Organic produce is always better,”Gold said.“The food is free of pesticides(
农药),and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms.And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty.”Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.B.Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products.And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand.“The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,”said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.
C.Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted.Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem.One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
D.However, today, more and more consumers are choosing“green”and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment.Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these:“Will this shampoo damage the environment?”“Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
E.Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds.Some supermarket products carry labels(
标签)to show that the product is green.Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造)of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.F.The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business.No longer will the public accept the old attitude of“Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.”The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.
