Annika carried out the crime C A Japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a gadget that translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the gadget——under the name of Bowlingual——in U. S. pet stores and gift shops this summer. Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300, 000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is foreca sting far bigger sales once an English language translation for dogs comes to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in Japan. "We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we don't think they will mind spending $ 120 on this product, " the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta. Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by Time magazine, Bowlingual is made up of a 3 - inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console (控制 台) that is connected to a database (数据库). The console divides each bark into six emotional types——happiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desire——and shows common phrases, such as "You're ticking me off," that fit the dog's emotional state. Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation(合作)with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists. One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dog's world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. "They are too unpredictable (反复无常) , " the marketing manager said. 65. This passage mainly tells us that Bowlingual ___________. A. was invented in Japan B. has developed quickly C. will be sold in America D. sells well for its price 66. The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to ___________. A. markets B. products C. plans D. cats 67. From the passage, we can see that Takara Co. Ltd. is ___________ the sale of its new product. A. proud of B. satisfied with C. confident of D. worried about D Everyone knows about straight—A students. We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge of the Nerds(《菜鸟大反攻》)，a comedy film satirizing(讽刺)social life in college. They get high grades，all right，but only by becoming dull laborers，their noses always stuck in a book. They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports. How，then, do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres? Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School. She also sings in the school singing group, serves on the students’ union and is a member of the mathematics society. For two years she has kept up A’s in every subject. Melendres, a freshman at the University of New Mexico，was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He played soccer and basketball well, exhibited at the science fair，and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station. Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony，he achieved straight A’s in his regular classes，plus rewarding points for A’s in two college-level course. How do super—achievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains aren’t the only answer “Top grades don’t always go to the brightest students,” declares Herbert Walberg, a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies on super—achieving students “Knowing how to make the most of your innate(天生的)abilities counts far more. Much more.” In fact，Walberg says，students with high IQ sometimes don’t do as well as classmates with lower IQ. For them，learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down. Hard work isn’t the whole story, either.“it’s not how long you sit there with the books open.”said one of the many—A students we interviewed. “It’s what you do while you’re sitting.” Indeed，some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates. The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn. 68. What can we conclude from the first paragraph? A. Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students B. People have unfavorable impression on straight—A students C. Everyone knows about straight-A students from TV or films D. Straight-A students are well admired by people in the society 69. What will be talked about after the last paragraph? A. The interviews with more students B. The role IQ plays in learning well C. The techniques to be better learners D. The achievements top students make 70. What can we infer from the passage? A. IQ is more important than hard work in study B. The brightest students can never get low glades C. Top students certainly achieve all-around developments D. Students with average IQ can become super-achievers 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项) Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways. 71 Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test.

C。推断题。Get a phone card yourself and try it out. 是劝说人们买这些磁卡试试，可见这是则广告。 2. C。细节题。根据 There are no coins in Card phone to excite thieves’ interest in it. 可以知道，这种磁卡电话因为没有硬币在里面，小偷是不会光顾的，故电话机很少被人为破坏。这很明显是这种磁卡电话的优势。 3. B。细节题。题目要求我们对打电话的步骤排序。根据首尾定位法，第一步应该是c (Go to the telephone box marked “Card Phone”)，而最后一步应该是 b (Look at the screen to find out how many calls you can still make)，故只能在B和D之间选择;再根据常识和文章内容可确定答案为B。 4. A。推断题。根据… the calls cost 10p per unit可以知道，打这种电话每单位时间为10便士，故40单位时间，应花400便士，即4英镑(1英镑=100便士)。 5. D。词义猜测题。用这种磁卡电话免去了带现金的麻烦，故可判定Or get a bigger wallet.是“带很多钱”的意思。 65. 答案：C 细节理解题。由第一段第三句话可知，一个人的感情会受到身体感觉的影响。 66答案：C 推理判断题。全文讲述了一个实验新发现，温度影响我们如何看待他人。B项与之相符。 67. 答案：D 主旨大意题。全文讲述了一个实验新发现，温度影响我们如何看待他人。所以D项“身体感觉与情感”是最合适的题目。 (责任编辑：admin) |
