阅读下列文章,根据文章内容,从文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

A

Do you like sports? If your answer is yes, sometimes you will find it very difficult to have enough time to do it even if it’s on weekends. However, you don’t have to worry now because of a “sunshine sports” program launched (启动) by the Ministry of Education.

It suggests students around the country have an hour of sports every day. The difference is that students will be able to do any sport they please. The idea is to make students happy and keep them healthy at the same time.

Han Jiawen likes the idea. The 13-year-old studies in Shanghai Yangsi Middle School. Her school began the activity at the beginning of the term. Han an her classmates skipped rope together. “We had a good time,” said Han. “It was better playing than having classes.”

Wang Lichao welcomes the idea, too. “It’s good to be able to breathe some fresh air instead of sitting in the classroom.”

But the 14-year-old from Tianjin wonders whether there will be enough space for everyone. “With so many students outside,” he said, “I’m afraid there won’t be enough standing room in the playground.”

Wu Jiatong’s school in Liaoning already has something like a “sunshine sports” program. From the beginning of this term, Wu and other students at her school have been jogging for 40 minutes every morning. “It’s tiring,” said Wu. “But we do feel healthier.” “We hope we can do what we want. The school says later we can have rope skipping or kicking jianzi. I can’t wait!” she said.

What about your school? There must be more sports that interest you and your schoolmates. 56. According to the author, which of the following allows the students to have enough time to do sports?

A. The headmaster. B. A teacher.

C. A TV program. D. A program called “sunshine sports”. 57. What does Han Jiawen think of the “sunshine sports” program?

A. It’s useless. B. It’s wonderful. C. It’s healthy. D. It’s tiring. 58. According to the passage, Wu Jiatong ________. A. hates her school program--- jogging B. doesn’t like sitting in the classroom C. wants to do different kinds of sports

D. complains there isn’t enough room to do sports 59. Which of the following statements is true?

A. All the students think it easy to carry out the program.

B. The program allows students to have an hour of sports on weekends. C. Wang Lichao thinks sitting in the classroom is better than playing.

D. There may be not enough room for every student to do sports in some schools.

B

Do dogs understand us?

Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.

A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).

In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the

items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.

In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.

The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.

Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.

It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!

60. From paragraph 2 we know that __ .

A. animals are as clever as human beings

B. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees C. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills

D. dogs have similar 'learning abilities as 3-year-old children 61. Both experiments show that . A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands right B. Rico can recognize different things including toys

C. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics

D. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them 62. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities. B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training. C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects. D. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands. 63. What does the writer want to tell us?

A. To train your dog. B. To talk to your dog.

C. To be friendly to your dog. D. To be careful with your dog.

C

NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.

Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce ,or possibly erase(抹去),the effect of painful memories.

In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.

The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, While others support it.
