阅读理解     SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND-A British teaching union famous for strange ideas has supported
proposal to employ dogs as classroom assistants.
     At the annual conference of the Professional Association of Teachers in Southport, northwest of
England, one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools. They
can round up lost children and protect those who experience unfortunate "accidents". Wendy Dyble, a
Shetland Islands woman who teaches children up to age seven, made it clear to her fellow friends that
she was not "barking mad". They obviously believed her, supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13, with a
total of 63 abstentions (弃权).
     She said big dogs could help round up children, keep them in line, lick up the milk they spill on the
floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order."A big dog would also be helpful in
breaking up fights and looking for lost property, like gym shoes or dolls, " Dyble said at the conference.
"The dog will also be useful in sniffing out smells that children do not own up to, " she added. "It would
be nice for the teacher not to have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit (犯错的人)."
     The idea was greeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions. A
spokesman for Education Secretary David Blunkett, who is blind, said his guide dog was always
popular with pupils when he visited schools. The Professional Association of Teachers, with around
35,000 members, is the smallest teaching union in Britain. It has an honour for occasional strange ideas.
Earlier this week, its annual conference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and
introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of hand.1. According to the writer"s opinion, to employ dogs as classroom assistants________.A. is a wonderful idea

阅读理解     New York-Wednesday,October fifteenth,is the first Global Hand Washing Day.Activities are planned
in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with
soap.
     Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at socalled critical
moments.These include after using the toilet,after cleaning a baby and before touching food.
     Global Hand Washing Day is the idea of the PublicPrivate Partnership for Hand Washing with Soap.
The goal,they say,is to create a culture of hand washing with soap.The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing diseasecausing germs (病菌)．They say the correct way to wash hands is to wet
your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap.Rub it into all areas,including under the fingernails.Then,rinse well under running water.Finally,dry your hands with a clean cloth.
     The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing.Soap
also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs.And it usually leaves a pleasant smell,which
increases the likelihood that people will wash again.
     It also says washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any
medicine.It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾),which is the second leading cause of child deaths,
killing more than one and a half million children a year,by almost half.1. The most suitable title for the text would be________.A. Hand Washing Brings Good Health

A British train station has put up a no kissing sign to stop lovers going full steam ahead with their
overamorous farewells.

     Commuters have been told:if you want to get up to that kind of business,do it in the car park.
     The sign has been put up at the dropoff point (落客处) at Warrington Bank Quay station in the town of Warrington,between Liverpool and Manchester in northwest England.
   A similar sign,this time permitting kissing,has been put up elsewhere in a zone where kissing is considered
tolerable.
     "We have not banned kissing in the station," said a spokesman for operators Virgin Rail.
     "But we have put the sign up at the dropoff point because it is not a very big area and it often gets busy.
     The sign is a lighthearted way of reminding people to move on quickly.If people wish to spend a little
more time with their loved ones before they leave,then they should park in the shortstay car park nearby."
     The busy station links the town with the major cities London,Birmingham,Glasgow,Edinburgh,Liverpool
and Manchester.
     However,one station is trying to rescue love from the tracks.High Wycombe,northwest of London,is
having none of it and is actively urging commuters to show their emotions in public.
     "Kissing is welcome here!...we would never dream of banning kissing," says a poster of a cartoon
couple embracing,framed by a pink heart."Railway stations are romantic places," insisted Kirsteen Roberts
on from Chiltern Railways."They are where fond farewells and emotional reunions take place,where
relationships start with a glance and even,in the case of our Marylebone station last November where one
passenger will propose (求婚) to another over the public address system."
     "So our passengers are more than welcome to share a kiss in our stations."
1．The train station has put up a no kissing sign in order to________.A．ban kissing in the station
B．get passengers to walk quickly
C．avoid embarrassment
D．prevent illegal practice2．The underlined word "it" here refers to________.A．rescuing love from the tracks
B．banning kissing in the station
C．kissing at the dropoff point
D．kissing in the car park3．We learn that in High Wycombe________.A．kissing is encouraged
B．kissing is forbidden
C．kissing is intolerable
D．kissing is limited to a certain time4．We can infer that________.A．the dropoff point is not a safe place

C．the dropoff point is a romantic place
D．the dropoff point is often packed with the traffic and passengers

阅读理解     As the world watched the twin towers of the World Trade Center come under attack, a common phrase was repeated: "It looks like a movie."
     But this time there was no superman to save the people or the famous building. The attack destroyed one of the world"s highest skyscrapers and left 5,000 people dead or missing.
     Movie fans have become used to such events after years of Hollywood films showing disasters, terrorism(恐怖主义) and danger, The Empire State Building, the White House, New York City and even the American president himself have all been threatened by terrorist attacks in these exciting films.
     The film "True Lies", released(发行) in 1994 is considered to be a good example of this kind of movie. The special effects, including explosions and missiles, make the action look like a real thing.
     "Independence Day" in 1996 took this type of movie one step further by blowing up the White House.   This science fiction movie is about a war between human beings and aliens(外来人) from another planet. In the movie, the World Trade Center towers are destroyed.
     Violence has become a major part of Hollywood movies. And this is what people enjoy. Soon after the attacks, many famous film companies stopped the planned releases of some of their new movies, especially if their films showed terrorist attacks or plane crashes. "Swordfish" was top of the American box office in June, 2001. But the movie"s story was frighteningly similar to the Sept.11 disaster. The film would have been stopped in American and British cinemas after the attack.

3. From this article we know that       .

A. Hollywood is a filmmaking center making films of violence and disasters

     TOKYO--- A child-like robot that combines the roles of nurse, companion and security guard is to go on the market to help the growing ranks of elderly Japanese with no one to look after them.
     The "Wakamaru" robot can walk around a house 24 hours a day, warning family, hospitals and security firms if it perceives (觉察) a problem. It will, for example, call relatives if the owner fails to get out of the
bath.
     Cameras implanted in the "eye-brows" of the robot enable it to "see" as it walks around an apartment. The images can be sent to the latest cellphones, which display the pictures.
     Wakamaru, which speaks with either the voice of a boy or a girl, is also designed to provide
companionship, greeting its "papa" when he comes home.
     It is the first household robot able to hold simple conversations, based on a vocabulary of around
10,000 words. It cannot only speak but can understand answers and react accordingly.
     Wakamaru will inform a security firm if there is a loud bang or if an unknown person enters the house
while the owner is out or asleep. It can recognize up to 10 faces.
     But like most robots it cannot climb stairs.
     Mitsubishi Heavy Industry, which developed Wakamaru, adapted Wakamaru from robots it made.
     The idea to use the technology in the home came from a company employee.
     The technology has gained nation-wide publicity in Japan among increasing concern over how to look
after the ever-growing number of old people. The life of Japanese women has shot up to almost 85 years,
the highest in the world.
     At the same time, extended families are being replaced by nuclear families. This has left many Japanese anxious about their elderly parents, whom they rarely see because of their long hours at office.
1. Which of the following is true about Wakamaru?
A. It is used in a security firm.
B. It cannot speak but can understand answers.
C. It can go up and down the stairs easily.
D. It can recognize as many as ten faces.
2. The purpose of this passage is ______.
A. to introduce a new product
B. to solve the aging problem
C. to tell people how to use robot
D. to show the rapid development of technology
3. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The robot must be very expensive.
B. The robot is likely to have a promising market.
C. The robot has given the Japanese a chance to live longer.
D. The nuclear families have left many elderly Japanese anxious.
4. What is the best title of the passage?
