1.根据以下资料,回答95-98题。 Of all Barry H.Landau's anecdotes about his friendships with presidential dogs, perhaps the best is the one about the time the Clinton White House called to postpone his play-date with Buddy. Yes, Landau is both human and an adult, a 60-year-old author, presidential historian, former White House protocol officer and memorabilia collector.But so enamored is he of dogs, and so well connected to a succession of presidents, that he had an appointment for a South Lawn romp one day with Buddy, Bill Clinton's Labrador retriever (拉布拉多犬) . Logistics got in the way, though, and hence Clinton secretary Betty Currie's apologetic voice mail left at the Smithsonian Institution, where Landau was doing research: "I'm sorry, but we'll have to reschedule Mr.Landau's play-date with Buddy." Not surprisingly, this is a happy week for Landau, with the new Obama family dog, Bo, joining a White House tradition that dates to George Washington.It's one that Landau feels is invaluable to a presidency. "Having a dog just humanizes a president," he says."It completes the picture.It's something people can relate to." And Landau has related to the best of them.He's known about 25 White House dogs since the Eisenhower administration.Among the presidential-pooch memorabilia in his Manhattan apartment are matching orange inaugural dog coats worn by LBJ's twin beagles (小猎犬) , Him and Her, and a photo of Landau kissing Clipper, JFK's German shepherd.95 Who's "Buddy"?

8.根据以下资料,回答119-122题。 Train companies in Tokyo are taking action to reduce the number of people jumping in front of trains.They are fitting blue lights on station platforms to try and create a more calming atmosphere.The East Japan Railway Company has invested almost $170,000 to install the lights in all of the 29 stations on the capital's busy Yamanote Line.There has been an alarming rise in the number of people committing suicide at train stations.A total of 68 people threw themselves under trains in the year up to March.This compares with 42 suicides in the same period a year earlier.In 2008, Japan had nearly 2,000 suicides by jumping in front of a train; around six percent of all suicides nationwide.Suicides have risen sharply in the past decade due to poor economic conditions. No one knows if the blue lights will work.There is no evidence to show that blue light reduces suicidal feelings. Keihan Railway spokesman Osamu Okawa stated: "We thought we had to do something to save lives.We know there is no scientific proof that blue lights deter suicides, but if blue has a soothing effect on the mind, we want to try it to save lives." The Associated Press news agency reports on a Japanese therapist called Mizuki Takahashi.She explained her reasons why the blue lights might be a good idea: "We associate the color with the sky and the sea.It has a calming effect on agitated people, or people obsessed with one particular thing, which in this case is committing suicide," she said.Other companies are watching this experiment with interest.120 The use of blue lights to reduce suicides __.
单选题A. has no result yet~||~is proved effective~||~is welcomed by suicides~||~has been refused by stations

10.Passage ThreeAs recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise anddangerous way to pay for what they bought.Some even thought that owing money to a store or acredit company was something to be ashamed of.Good citizens,they believed,always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.Today,however,all that has changed.Credit,as some observers have noted,has become away of life in the United States.More and more Americans now are depending on those small piecesof plastic,credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions,record players or furniture.Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner,a hotel room or an airline trip.And there are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards.If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card.That number is considered a guarantee that they will returnthe car and pay for using it.Credit cards offer two major services to Americans.First of all,they are easier and safer tocarry than large amounts of money.Second,they permit people to borrow,to have the immediate pleasure of owning something,even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time.With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them.And when the time does come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice.They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe.46.What advantage can credit card holders have?
单选题A. They can choose not to pay for their purchases.~||~They can easily borrow money at a lower interest.~||~They can own something before they actually pay for it.~||~They can pay only a small amount of what they owe.

Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers.Then again,teenagers have31feelings about their parents,saying that it is not easy living with them.According to a recent research,the most common32between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks.On the one hand,parents go mad over33rooms,clothes thrown on the floor and their children's refusal to help with the34.On the other hand,teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for35the towel in the bathroom,not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.The research,conducted by St.George University,shows that different parents have different36to these problems.However,some approaches are more37than others.For example,those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness,but38clean the room for them,have fewer chances of changing their children's39.On the contrary,those who let teenagers experience the40of their actions can do better.For example,when teenagers who don't help their parents with the shopping don't find their favorite drink in the refrigerator,they are forced to41their actions.Psychologists say that42is the most important thing in parent-child relationships.Parents should43to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say.Parents may44their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space.Communication is a two-way process.It is only by listening to and45each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.43A.reply,B.attend,C.attach,D.talk

19.Passage TwoThere were many different cultures in the ancient world,but the two that had the most influence on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman.Often these two cultures are lumped together in our minds,as if they were really exactly alike.But that is not the case.In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different.The Greeks were truly democratic,often without a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people.The Romans were semi-democratic.They had a governing Senate,but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.Both cultures were great builders.But the construction interests of the two cultures were also different.The Greeks tended to be more artistic.Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples,columns,and decorative forms.The Romans,on the other hand, were more engineers than artists.They concentrated their efforts on urban planning,well-functioning water pipes,and the best roads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar.Both peoples ate very well indeed:lots of fish,fresh vegetables and fruits,healthy meals,holding at the same time longdiscussions and tasting excellent wines.In fact,it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm,sea-orientedclimates,and they both lived a full life.43.How are the two cultures alike?
单选题A. Both loved the sea.~||~Both lived long lives.~||~Both loved cooking.~||~Both enjoyed talking over meals.
