第2题(2006年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语重庆卷) Tragedy at the Circus

In yesterday’s circus（马戏团）show, a tiger suddenly attacked its trainer and had to be shot dead. As the circus packed up and left, circus officials said the show would go on, even without tigers.

However, the officials can’t simply turn a blind eye to the ethical problems left behind. Even before this tragedy(悲剧), animal rights activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions and forcing them to suffer for the profit(利润) of circus organizers. It is now time for us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly.

******************************* Circus Safe for Animals

Our circus recently suffered a most tragic event in its history. While we are thankful for the pity from the public, we are also astonished by the opinion expressed in “Tragedy at the Circus.”

First, our performing animals are not taken from the wild. As to the ethical problems. we always believe humans and animals can—and should—live together nicely. To us, the performing animals are representatives of their species(物种), and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of performing animals in the existence of the species. Those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals show little knowledge of these facts. Life in the “wild” is unsafe, but a continuous struggle for existence. To overlook these realities is the greatest fault against the animal kingdom.

This circus has proven that animals are stronger and smarter than we could imagine. Within the circus is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans: people are educated, and species saved.

67.What is the main purpose of the first passage? A.To show pity for the performing animals. B.To express worries about animal trainers' safety.

C.To deal with the difficult situations of the circus. D.To call for action to protect circus animals.

68.What will the circus most probably do? A.Take no notice of the tragedy. B.Continue its performances. C.Use fewer wild animals. D.Limit its profit. 69.What does the circus think of its performing animals? A.They are as clever as human beings.

B.They struggle continuously with human beings for existence. C.They are helpful in saving their species.

D.They have equally natural living conditions as wild animals.

70.What is the most probable relationship between the two passages? A.A public request and a newspaper report. B.A newspaper article and a reply to it. C.Two parts of a newspaper article. D.Two newspaper reports.

答案 67.D 68.B 69.C 70.B

67．解析：这是一道主旨题。第一个短文是一个新闻，介绍了马戏团出现了老虎袭击训兽狮后被击毙的悲剧，从而说明动物进入马戏团是悲惨不幸的，号召人们保护马戏团的动物，选D.

68．解析：这是一道推理题。根据第一段中“As the circus packed up and left ,circus officials said the show would go on, even without tigers.”说明马戏团还将继续演出，选B.

69．解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据“To us, the performing animals are representatives of their species, and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of performing animals in the existence of the species.”所以马戏团认为他们保护了表演动物的物种。

70．解析：这是一道推理题。根据两篇文中的内容，第一个是说马戏团里的动物生活悲惨，第二个说马戏团认为他们保护了动物。两篇文中针锋相对，第一篇显然是新闻，而第二篇是针对第一篇的反击。

第4题(2005年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语全国卷Ⅰ（含听力卷）)

MONTREAL (Reuters) – Crossing the US-Canada border（边界）to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen ＄10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security（安全）rules.

The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.

There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.

As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual. The US customs（海关）station in this area is closed on Sundays, so be just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later. Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him be had been caught on carnera crossing the border illegally（非法）.

Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.

Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a prison,” he said.

59．We learn from the text that Richard Albert is . A．an American living in Township 15 B．a Canadian living in a Quebec village

C．a Canadian working in a customs station D．an American working in a Canadian church

60．Albert was fined because he . A．failed to obey traffic rules B．broke the American security rules

C．worked in St. Pamphile without a pass D．damaged the gate of the customs office

61．The underlined word “detour” in paragraph 5 means . A．a drive through the town B．a race across the fields C．a roundabout way of travelling D．a journey in the mountain area 62．What would be the best title for the text? A．A Cross-country Trip B．A Special Border Pass C．An Unguarded Border D．An Expensive Church Visit 答案 59.A 60.B61.C62.D

59.解析：这是一道细节题。第二段“Like the other half?dozen people of Township 15，crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert.”告诉我们Richard Albert是一位住在Township 15的美国人。

60.解析：这是一道细节题。根据第四段“Two days later，Albert was told to go to the customs office，where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.”可判断出Albert受罚的原因是他违反了美国安全条例。

61.解析：这是一道猜测词义题。根据这段的内容可判断出由于美国停止了Ottawa使用的方法，使得人们不得不迂回200英里通过山回家。

62.解析：这是一道主旨题。这篇短文讲述了一位美国人为了去教堂而违反了美国安全法，而被罚款$10 000美元。所以An Expensive Church Visit是最佳题目。

第5题(2005年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语全国卷Ⅱ（不含听力卷）)

The days of elderly women doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. Enter the Red Hat Society －a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun.

“My grandmothers didn’t do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that,” said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.

While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers(生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents’ way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.

If you take into consideration feminism(女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable(必然的). In this society,

women over 50 wear red hats and purple(紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing.

“The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn’t go,” said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention.

“The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else,” Cooper said. “Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves.” This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. “We’re a ladies’ play group. It couldn’t be more simple,” added Cooper’s assistant Joe Heywood.

44．The underlined word “chapter” in paragraph 2 means __________.

A．one branch of an organization B．a written agreement of a club C．one part of a collection of poems D．a period in a society’s history

45．From the text , we know that the “baby boomers” are a group of people who A．have gradually become more noticeable B．are worried about getting old too quickly

C．are enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spend

D．tried living a different life from their parents when they were young

46．It could be inferred from the text that members of the Red Hat Society are . A．interested in raising money for social work B．programmers who can plan well for their future C．believers in equality between men and women D．good at cooking big meals and taking care of others 47．Who set up the Red Hat Society ?

A．Emily Cornette . B．Ellen Cooper . C．Jenny Joseph . D．Joe Heywood . 48．Women join the Red Hat Society because . A．they want to stay young B．they would like to appear more attractive C．they would like to have fun and live for themselves
