12、s 65 decibels.The noise level is the resultof so many people and cars in the same area.Now even the insides of taxis are noisy.When you get into a taxi,you hear the voiceof a we11known singer,sports reporter,or Broadway actress giving instructions.That t right.The voice of a famous person tells you

17、lly like the idea.Most of the time,taxi driversare in a bad mood,v says Melanie Benton,who visits New York often onbusiness,It s nice to hear a cheerful voice when you get into a cab.”(1).The sentence Cats have nine lives,but you have only one”impliesthat_.(A).human beings have only one life(B).cats

22、een invented yet.The idea of celebrating Father s Day was actually inspired by Mother?s Day.In1909,MotherJ s Day was just becoming very popular in the United States.Oneday,Sonora Dodd,of Spokane,Washington,was listening to a church talk about settingaside a day to honor one s mother.It gave her the

23、idea to propose a day to honorfathers,and in particular,her own father-William Jackson Smart.Mr.Smart had raised Sonora and her five brothers and sisters all by himself afterSonora,s mother died in childbirth.As an adult,Sonora realized the selflessnessher father had shown in raising his children as

24、 a single parent.Her father made allthe parental sacrifices.In the daughter s eyes,her father was acourageous,selfless,and loving man.Mrs.Dodd went to her minister and others about having a church service devoted tofathers on June 5,her father?s birthday.That date was too soon for her minister topre

25、pare a service,so he spoke two weeks later on June 19.It took about a year ofworking with politicians,religious leaders,businessmen and the local Young Men sChristian Association to bring life to her idea of an annual Father s Day.Eventually all her hard work paid off.On June 19,1910,the first Fathe

26、r s Day wascelebrated in Spokane,Washington.In 1972 President Richard Nixon established a permanent national celebration ofFather s Day to be held on the third Sunday in June.Since then,fathers have beenhonored and recognized by their families throughout the U.S.on that date.Father s Day has become

27、a day to not only honor your father,but all men who act asa father figure.Stepfathers,uncles,grandfathers,and adult male friends are allhonored on Father s Day.It s also another day for greeting card companies andshop owners to celebrate because sales of the most popular gifts forDad(shirts,ties,and

28、 electric shavers)increase considerably.(J),The passage mainly tells a b o u t.(A).Mrs.Dodd,s love for her father(B).the origin and establishment of Father s Day(C).the importance of honoring fathers in the U.S.(D).Mrs.Dodd s contribution to the government decision答 案：B(2).Mrs.Dodd loved her father

29、because h e.(A).had a large family(B).was a single parent(C).was a respected minister(D),was courageous,selfless and loving答 案：D(3).In the United States,the first Father s Day was celebrated nationwidein.(A).1972(B).1910(C).1909(。)1900答 案：A(4).The author of the passage seems to believe that_.(A).ste

30、pfathers should not be honored on Father s Day(B).Father s Day has nothing to do with Mother s Day(C).Father,s Day started with Mrs.Dodd,s love for her father(D).card companies should not make money on Father s Day cards答 案：C(5).Greeting card companies welcome Father s Day because_.(A).their sale in

32、 pride will be followed by nature s punishment.To save our earthand ourselves,we need first develop an unbiased understanding of ourselves,natureand life.Everyone understands the meaning of the sentence“Man should respect animal life andnature”.But the exact meaning of man,nature and animal life is

33、not always clear.Many refer to man and animals as if they were essentially different.I consider manto be an animal and only differing in degree and not in kind from other animals.Although I discuss in conventional terms human rights and animal rights as if theywere separate,strictly speaking,human r

34、ights should be considered a branch of animalrights.The word“nature“is one of the most complex words in the language,but it hasdeveloped three main areas of meaning.These are,first,the essential quality andcharacter of something(as in human nature,or the nature of wood);second,theinherent force whic

35、h influences the world(as in Mother Nature);third,the entireworld itself.The last can be taken to include or to exclude human beings,as thephrase man and the natural world implies.I consider humans to be an integral part of nature,although they are also thebeings most capable of interfering with its

36、 processes.Unfortunately a centraldrive of Western“man”has been to conquer“nature”,as if it were an objectseparate from him.Hence it has become common to distinguish between what isnatural(existing without man s interference)and artificial(manmade).In thisway,natural growth is opposed to education,c

37、ivilization to the natural state.Formany urban people living permanently among concrete and glass,nature itself hascome to mean little more than the countryside.And this notion of opposition iswhere the seed of potential destruction lies.(1).The word“unbiased“in Line 4 of Para.1 means _.(A).unbalanc

38、ed(B).fair(C).partial(Z)/unreasonable答 案：B(2).As for the relationship between man and animals,the author holds that(A).(B).(C).(D).答 案：Aman is a kind of animalsman is superior to animalsman is the same as animalsman and animals are essentially different from each other(3).The word they in Line 6 of

39、Para.2 refers to(A).human rights(B).animal rights(C).human beings and animals(D),human rights and animal rights答 案：D(4).In the authors opinion,the word“nature“indicates(A).a particular kind of thing(B).the inherent force which influences the world(C).the entire world itself including human beings(D)

40、.the essential quality and character of something答 案：D(5).The very last sentence of the passage implies that_.(A).urbanization violates the peace of the countryside(B).the people in the cities cannot enjoy the nature,s beauty(C),man cannot destroy nature,as they are different from each other(D).if m
