Dogs in a Human World

The partnership between humans and dogs began perhaps 14,000 years ago. Our first interactions may have occurred when wild dogs were attracted to human garbage, or humans may have acquired the puppies of wild dogs and trained them to be obedient pets. By means of the careful selection of dog parents, humans have been able to create a wonderful variety of dogs with plenty of talents and many different looks. Here are three examples of \The working dog

Jacques is one of many beagles that work at airports for the U.S. government in a program known as the Beagle Brigade. Beagles were chosen for this work because of their powerful noses. Their job is to smell and alert officers to illegal fruits, vegetables, and other foods in luggage or in mail. They do the job far better than humans could alone.

Some of the beagles who work in the program are donated by private owners, but many are ownerless beagles rescued from animal shelters. Many beagles who were scheduled to be euthanized are now working to keep their country safe from disease. Treated like a queen

Tiffy, a beautiful eight-pound maltese is treated like a queen in New York City.

Her owner, Nancy Jane Loewy, carefully prepares her meals of lamb, steak, salmon, tuna, chicken, and a variety of fresh vegetables. Tiffy also gets low-fat yogurt and cookies after dinner. Why? Loewy replies, \me.\

Leowy, whose husband has a high-paying job and whose two sons are away at school, has the time and money to treat Tiffy extremely well, and she truly enjoys doing so. \as possible.\

Jessie is a whippet that visits children who are fighting deadly diseases. She brightens patients' days with love and gives children a chance to exercise. At the National Institutes of Health, Jessie helps patients like young Lukas Parks to stay strong during their long hospitalization.

Whether as workers or objects of affection, dogs have certainly proven themselves to be beneficial to humans in many ways. At the same time, their special place as \wild dogs have nearly disappeared from the earth, domestic dogs continue to grow in number, thanks to their special relationship with humans. A. Multiple Choice.

Question 1. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage? Question 2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? Question 3. Which one is NOT true according to the passage?

Question 4. Which one of the following is NOT a reason Loewy treats Tiffy extremely well?

Question 5. Which dog eats human food?

人类和狗之间的合作始于大约14000年前。我们第一次交互可能发生当野狗吸引人类垃圾,或者人类可能获得野生狗和训练他们的小狗听话的宠物。通过仔细选择狗的父母,人类已经能够创建一个美妙的各种各样的狗,大量的人才和许多不同的样子。这里有三个例子的“狗的生活”在人类世界。

工作的狗

雅克是许多米格鲁猎犬,在机场为美国政府工作在一个程序中被称为小旅。米格鲁猎犬选择这个工作是因为他们强大的鼻子。他们的工作是嗅觉和警报官员非法水果、蔬菜和其他食物在行李或邮件。他们做这个工作远比人类孤独。

米格鲁猎犬的工作程序中由私人所有者捐赠,但许多人无主的米格鲁猎犬从动物收容所获救。现在许多米格鲁猎犬将安乐死的人努力保持他们的国家免受疾病。

当成皇后

Tiffy,美丽的8磅马耳他当成皇后在纽约市。她的主人,南希简Loewy,精心准备饭菜的羔羊肉,牛排,鲑鱼,金枪鱼,鸡肉,和各种新鲜蔬菜。饭后Tiffy也会低脂酸奶和饼干。为什么?Loewy回答说:“我有一只狗,因为狗需要我。”

Leowy,她的丈夫有一份高收入的工作和他们的两个儿子在学校,有时间和金钱治疗Tiffy非常好,而且她真的喜欢这样做。“我想给她最健康,最美妙的生活尽可能长时间的可能性。“

动物看护

杰西是一个访问孩子的小灵狗战斗致命疾病。她用爱照亮患者的天,给孩子一个锻炼的

机会。在美国国立卫生研究院,杰西帮助病人像小卢卡斯公园长住院期间保持强劲。

是否为工人或对象的感情,狗显然已经证明自己是有利于人类在很多方面。与此同时,他们的特别的地方为“人类最好的朋友”允许狗在人类世界中存活。而狼和野狗几乎从地球上消失,国内狗数量继续增长,由于它们与人类之间的特殊关系。

问题 1。在写这篇短文的作者的目的是什么? 问题 2。下列哪一项不是文章中提到的? 问题 3。根据段落哪一个不是真实的?

问题 4。下列哪一个不是Loewy 对Tiffy极好的理由? 问题 5。哪条狗吃人类的食物? Page 27

Was King Tut Murdered?

King Tutankhamun was just a teenager when he died. He was the last king of a powerful family that had ruled Egypt for centuries. When he died in 1322 B.C., Tut (as Tutankhamun is often known today) was placed in a luxurious, gold-filled tomb. There he lay forgotten until the tomb's eventual discovery in 1922. Although we now know a lot about his life, the reason for Tutankhamun's death at such a young age has remained a mystery, with murder the most extreme possibility. Now, improved X-ray technology is offering new clues into King Tut's death. Discovered and Damaged

The British archeologist Howard Carter opened Tut's tomb in 1922. Although it had been robbed in ancient times, it was still full of gold and other amazing items. Carter spent months carefully recording the treasures. When he and his team then attempted to remove King Tut's mummy, they found that it had become attached to its solid gold coffin. Unfortunately, they did a great deal of damage to the mummy while removing it.

Theories About Tut's Death

In 1968, archeologists conducted an examination of the mummy using simple x-ray technology. Three important discoveries led to various theories about his death. The X-rays showed that bones in King Tut's chest were missing. Carter hadn't done that damage. Tut was a trained fighter and hunter, so some people have guessed that it was caused by a war injury or a hunting accident.

There appeared to be pieces of bone inside the skull, causing many to believe that King Tut was killed by a blow from behind to the head. Was he murdered by people wanting to take control of Egypt?

A serious fracture discovered above Tut's left knee could have been the result of an accident or attack. Infection might have started there and killed the boy king. A Closer Look at the Mummy

In recent years, scientists, under the direction of ZahiHawass, head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, have applied a new and more effective X-ray technology to mummies throughout Egypt. In the images, each bone appears in perfect detail.

So, was King Tut's death murder or accident, infection or war injury? Doctors who

analyzed the X-ray images say that the skull was mainly undamaged, excluding the possibility of a blow to the head. However, while modern technology has been able to rule out one theory, the actual cause of death remains unknown. It seems there are secrets that even the latest technology cannot yet find the answers to. A. Multiple Choice.

Question 1. How does the passage answer the question, \King Tut murdered?\ Question 2. Which of the following has NOT been suggested as a reason for King Tut's death?

Question 3. How was the mummy of King Tut damaged?

Question 4. What was the problem with King Tut's chest?

Question 5. Why does the actual cause of King Tut's death remain unknown?

图坦卡蒙国王被谋杀?

图坦卡蒙王少年时他就死了。他是最后一个国王的一个强大的家族统治埃及长达几个世纪之久。他在公元前1322年去世”通常被认为是图坦卡蒙,图坦卡蒙(今天)将被放置在一个豪华,镀金的坟墓。有他躺忘记直到1922年古墓的最终发现。尽管我们现在知道了很多关于他的生活,图坦卡蒙的死亡的原因在这样小的年纪仍然是个谜,以谋杀最极端的可能性。现在,x射线技术的进步提供新的线索图坦卡蒙死亡。

发现并损坏

英国考古学家霍华德·卡特在1922年开办了图坦卡蒙墓穴。虽然已经抢在古代,还是充满奇妙的黄金和其他优秀的项目。卡特花了几个月的时间仔细记录宝藏。当他和他的团队试图挖掘图坦卡蒙的木乃伊,他们发现它已经附在金棺中。不幸的是,他们做了大量的破坏木乃伊在挖掘的过程中。

关于图坦卡蒙死亡

1968年,考古学家进行了一次简单的x射线技术。三个重要的发现导致了各种关于他的死亡。

图坦卡蒙胸部x射线显示骨头不见了。卡特没有做过伤害。图坦卡蒙是一个训练有素的战士和猎人,所以有些人猜测这是战争造成的伤害或事故狩猎。

似乎有颅骨内骨碎片,导致很多人相信图坦卡蒙被从后面锤头。他被人想控制埃及的? 严重骨折发现图坦卡蒙的左膝盖以上可能是一次事故或攻击的结果。感染可能会开始有和王杀了男孩。

仔细看看这具木乃伊

近年来,科学家,扎西·哈瓦斯的指导下,埃及文物最高委员会的负责人,申请了一个新的,更有效的x射线技术在埃及木乃伊。在图像中,每个骨头出现在完美的细节。

所以,图坦卡蒙的谋杀或意外死亡,感染或战争受伤吗?医生分析了x射线图像说头骨主要是无破损,不包括打击的可能性。然而,尽管现代科技已经能够排除一个理论,真正的死因仍然未知。似乎有秘密,即使是最新的技术还不能找到答案。

that the Khan considered it an honor that Europeans -- who were rare in China -- had made the extremely difficult journey, and he made good use of their skills and knowledge.

In the service of Kublai Khan, \in treasure that ever was in the world,\Marco was able to learn and experience many things that were new to Europeans. In his travel journal, he described Kublai Khan's palace as the greatest he had ever seen. He admired the Khan's recently completed new capital, Daidu, whose streets were \located in what is now the center of Beijing, and Kublai Khan's city planning can still be perceived in the straight, broad streets of China's modern capital. We learn from Marco Polo that, in the administration of his empire, Kublai Khan made use of a fast and simple message system. Horse riders spaced every 40 kilometers allowed messages to cover 500 kilometers a day. Marco also learned the secret of asbestos cloth, which is made from a mineral and doesn't catch fire. Paper money also took him by surprise, as it was not yet in use in the West at that time. Homes were heated with \stones ?which burn like logs.\Those stones were coal -- unknown in most of Europe -- and they were so plentiful that many people had a hot bath three times a week.

Although the Khan did not want his visitors to leave, the Polos finally received permission to return home in 1292. Marco continued his observations on the ocean voyage by way of Sumatra and India. Upon his return, he completed a book about his trip, full of details about his amazing cultural experiences. It was probably the greatest contribution of geographic information ever made to the West about the East. A. Multiple Choice.

Page 115 Bride of the Sahara

The Tuareg bride, Assalama, sits silently as female relatives and helpers make sure that every hair is perfect for the first day of her wedding celebration. Such attention is new for the bride, who is only 15 years old and who has spent most of her time tending her mother's goats and sheep. The Tuareg are nomads, and it was only by chance that she was reunited with her 25-year-old cousin Mohamed a month earlier. Just back from five years working in Libya, Mohamed spotted Assalama as she drew water from a well. \he says. Wasting no time, he asked for her hand, she accepted, their families approved, and wedding plans began.

Following Tuareg traditions, the marriage rite is performed at a nearby mosque in the presence of only the couple's parents. Assalama and Mohamed are absent. A few days later, the time for the celebration approaches, and guests begin to arrive. For a week, some 500 guests enjoy camel races, sing, and eat rice, dates, and roasted meat in tents under the Saharan stars.

Mohamed wears an indigo tagelmust, a cloth that wraps his head and face. The rich color, which rubs off onto the skin, earned these once fierce Saharan warriors the title \clothing that keeps out the desert sand and sun; it demonstrates respect and is thought to keep evil creatures known as jinns away, as is henna, a reddish-brown coloring used on Mohamed's feet. Henna is also a symbol of purity, and is reserved for a man's first marriage. At the celebration, a tent called an ehan is prepared for Assalama and Mohamed. Women take down and put up the tent every day of the celebration, making it slightly larger each time to symbolize the progress of the celebration and of the couple's relationship. Assalama stays inside the tent during the whole celebration, only showing her face or speaking to Mohamed, her best friend, her mother, and one special helper. During the celebration, neither Assalama nor Mohamed is ever left alone for

fear they might be harmed by jealous jinns. As the celebration ends, the couple prepares to spend the first year of their marriage with Assalama's family. Mohamed will offer displays of respect to his in-laws, working hard to win their approval. Once he does that, he will take his bride back to his camp and start his nomad's caravan moving again. A.
