Part III Reading Comprehension    (共 8 题，每题 2.5 分，共 20 分)

Passage 1: Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage.

Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialists’ advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense.

Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and they are satisfactory with their place where it is safe, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.

41. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. You can always get help from the specialists.

B. Common sense is the most important when choosing a dog.

C. You should decide what kind of dog you want.

D. Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.

42. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog？

A. The color of the dog.

B. The price of the dog.

C. Whether the dog will fit the environment.

D. Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.

43. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?

A. It must be trained so that it won’t bite.

B. It demands more food and space.

C. It needs more love and care.

D. It must be looked after carefully.

44. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?

A. It’s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.

B. They are less likely to be shy with human beings.

C. They are less likely to run away.

D. It’s easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.

Passage 2: Questions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage.

You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?

Jane Addams (1860- 1935)

Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need in 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Rachel Carson (1907- 1964)

If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oceans.

Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)

When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator and in  1981 the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.

Rosa Parks (1913-2005)

On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on  a bus to  a passenger. Her  simple  act  landed Parks  in prison.  But  it  also  set  off the Montgomery bus boycott.  It  lasted  for more than  a  year,  and kicked  off the  civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.
