A man walked into a pet shop one day with a large and very ugly dog.
It had long hair, short legs, no tail and a very wet nose.
“Good morning, sir,” the owner of the pet shop said. “How can I help you?”
“I want to sell this dog.”
The pet shop owner looked at the dog and shook his head.
“I’m sorry. I can’t give you anything for that animal. No one will want to buy him.”
“Why not?” asked the man. “He’s clean, well-behaved and healthy.”
“Look at him, sir,” said the pet shop owner. “He hasn’t got a tail, his legs are too short and his hair’s too long. Who would want to buy such a dog?”
“Well, I guess you’re right,” the man said. “But he can talk.”
“What do you mean he can talk?” the shop owner asked.
“Yes, he can speak prefect English. Just listen,” the man answered.
The dog then spoke.
“It’s true, sir,” he said. “I am the world’s greatest talking dogs. I’ve been to America and talked to the President at the White House in Washington. I’ve talked to the Queen of England and the Emperor of Japan. Please buy me, sir. This man is very cruel to me. He make me work too hard and doesn’t feed me very well. He never takes me for a walk or gives me a bath. Sometimes he leaves me alone for weeks. I’m so unhappy, sir. Please buy me and find a good home for me.”
The pet shop owner could hardly believe what he was hearing.
“That’s amazing,” he said. “You’re right. He is a talking dog. But tell me, why do you want to sell him?”

English is the native or official language of one-fifth of the land area of the world. It is spoken in North America, Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. In South Africa and India it is one of the official languages.
More people study English than any other language. In many countries, the textbooks in universities are in English. Many university classes are taught in English even though the native language is not English.
English is the language of international communication. It is the language of international business, research, and science. More than three-fourths of the world’s mail is written in English. More than half of the scientific research journals are in English. Most other languages have borrowed many English words.
Why did English become the international language? In the middle of the nineteenth century, French was the international language. Then Britain became very powerful in the world. England started colonies in North America and India in the seventeenth century. By 1900 England also had colonies in other parts of Asia, Africa and the South Pacific. The people in the colonies had to use English. Slowly it became more important than French internationally. After the Second World War, the United States became very powerful, and even more people began to learn English.
Is English a good international language? It has more words than any other language. The grammar is simpler than in the other major languages. However, English spelling is difficult. Foreigners all have trouble spelling English. So do native speakers!
Since 1880, people have invented over fifty artificial languages. No one speaks them as a native language. However, none of them has ever become popular. Some people don’t want to study English, but it is the international language. There is no way to change that now.
60. English is the native language of________.
A. South Africa B. Australia
C. all of CanadaD. Malaysia
61. England started a colony in India in the________.
A. 1600s B. 1800s
C. 1700s D. 1900s
62. The author concludes that________.
A. it is necessary to invent a new language
B. English is the international language whether you like it or not
C. English is much better than other languages
D. English should be spoken all over the world

Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.
As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them.
At last her mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided. “Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her.
“Then I will make it so,”she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for women.
During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty-eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurses went to work.
Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.
After war she returned to England and was honoured(给……荣誉) for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.
Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.
63. What made Florence decided to become a nurse?
A. Her father’s support
B. Her desire(愿望) to help the sick
C. Her education in Germany and France
D. Her knowledge from reading great books
64. During the Crimean War in 1854,Florence served in the front hospital where________.
A. she earned a little money
B. work was very difficult
C. few soldiers died because of her work
D. she didn’t have enough food and clothes
65. Why was Florence honored by Queen Victoria?
A. She built the Nightingale Home for Nurses.
B. She wrote a book on public health.
C. She worked as a nurse all her life.
D. She did a great deal of work during the Crimean War.
66. The passage can best be described as________.
A. the life story of a famous woman
B. a description of the nursing work
C. an example of successful education
D. the history of nursing in England
D
The human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyranode Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man—courageous, courteous, manly and intellectual.
A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher, made an interesting comment about Cleopatra’s(克利欧佩特拉(古埃及艳后)) nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world!
Historically, man’s nose has had a principal role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions concering the nose refer to human weakness:anger, pride, jealousy and revenge.
In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up one’s nose, expresses a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places.
The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows man’s weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide him.
For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase, to have one’s nose put out of joint, is very descriptive. The expression applies to person who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.
This is only a sampling of expressions in English dealing with the nose. There are number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than organ for breathing and smelling!
67. The underlined phrase in the 4th paragraph shows________.
A. angerB. pride
C. jealousyD. revenge
68. The underlined phrase “to be led around by the nose” shows that a person________.
A. is easy to get angry
B. is strong-minded
C. has no decision of his own
D. is very emotional
69. A person who has nose put out of joint feels________.
A. hurt and unaccepted
B. pleased
C. ill
D. proud and happy
70. What does the last sentence of this passage mean?
A. The nose is really just an organ for breathing and smelling.
B. It is very hard to know that the nose is not only for smelling.
C. It is very obvious that the nose’s function is more than breathing and smelling.
D. It is strange that nose has other functions except these two.

Most of us feel upset if we miss just one meal, and if we tried to go without food for 12 hours we would really be uncomfortable. But there are some people who seem able to “fast” for very long period.
We have various records for long fast, but in most cases there is no medical proof and so the records are doubtful. One South African woman once said that she lived for 102 days on nothing but water and soda water.
There are great differences among living things in the ability to survive without food. For example, a tick(扁虫), which lives on animals, may survive a whole year. Warm-blooded animals use up their stores of food in the body more quickly. In fact, the smaller and more active the animal, the more quickly it uses up its reserves(储存). A small bird dies from hunger in about five days, a dog in about twenty. In general, we can say that a warm-blooded animal will die when it has lost about half its normal weight.
This matter of weight is important. Man and other animals live in a state keeping up the body weight once a certain point has been reached. This regulation(调节) of body weight is done by thirst, hunger, and appetite.
When your blood lacks nutritional(营养) materials, this announces the hunger center of the brain and you feel “hungry”. The body is crying out for any kind of fuel (food). And it is our appetite that sees to it that we choose a mixed diet, which is the kind the body needs.
71. According to this passage, a man will die________.
A. when a certain point in losing weight has been reached
B. when his blood lacks nutritional materials
C. when half of his normal weight is lost
D. when he goes without food for more than 12 hours
72. The word “fast” in paragraph 1 can best be replaced by “________”.
A. eat no food
B. live only on water and soda water
C. live on nothing
D. remain alive for a long time without food
73. A tick can survive much longer than a bird because________.
A. a tick lives on animals
B. a tick is much smaller
C. a bird is more active
D. a tick is much smaller and a bird is more active
74. A person feels hungry________.
A. if he doesn’t choose a mixed diet
B. because his body cries out for food
C. when something is wrong with the regulation of body weight
D. if there are not enough nutritional materials in his blood
75. From the passage we can infer that the author________.
A. believes the South African woman very firmly
B. does not believe the South African woman at all
C. is not certain whether the South African woman’s words were true
D. is doubtful whether there was such a South African woman

Florence Nightingale was born in a rich family. When she was young she took lessons in music and drawing, and read great books. She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.
As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them.
At last her mind was made up. “I’m going to be a nurse,” she decided. “Nursing isn’t the right work for a lady,” her father told her.
“Then I will make it so,”she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home for women.
During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirty-eight nurses to the front hospitals. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seen and smelled. The officer there did not want any woman to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurses went to work.
Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.
After war she returned to England and was honoured(给……荣誉) for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.
Florence Nightingale died at the age of ninety, still trying to serve others through her work as a nurse. Indeed, it is because of her that we honor nurses today.

The human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyranode Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man—courageous, courteous, manly and intellectual.
A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher, made an interesting comment about Cleopatra’s(克利欧佩特拉(古埃及艳后)) nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world!
Historically, man’s nose has had a principal role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions concering the nose refer to human weakness:anger, pride, jealousy and revenge.
In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up one’s nose, expresses a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places.
The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows man’s weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide him.
For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase, to have one’s nose put out of joint, is very descriptive. The expression applies to person who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.
This is only a sampling of expressions in English dealing with the nose. There are number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than organ for breathing and smelling!

C. It is very obvious that the nose’s function is more than breathing and smelling.
D. It is strange that nose has other functions except these two.

Most of us feel upset if we miss just one meal, and if we tried to go without food for 12 hours we would really be uncomfortable. But there are some people who seem able to “fast” for very long period.
We have various records for long fast, but in most cases there is no medical proof and so the records are doubtful. One South African woman once said that she lived for 102 days on nothing but water and soda water.
There are great differences among living things in the ability to survive without food. For example, a tick(扁虫), which lives on animals, may survive a whole year. Warm-blooded animals use up their stores of food in the body more quickly. In fact, the smaller and more active the animal, the more quickly it uses up its reserves(储存). A small bird dies from hunger in about five days, a dog in about twenty. In general, we can say that a warm-blooded animal will die when it has lost about half its normal weight.
This matter of weight is important. Man and other animals live in a state keeping up the body weight once a certain point has been reached. This regulation(调节) of body weight is done by thirst, hunger, and appetite.
When your blood lacks nutritional(营养) materials, this announces the hunger center of the brain and you feel “hungry”. The body is crying out for any kind of fuel (food). And it is our appetite that sees to it that we choose a mixed diet, which is the kind the body needs.
71. According to this passage, a man will die________.
A. when a certain point in losing weight has been reached
B. when his blood lacks nutritional materials
C. when half of his normal weight is lost
D. when he goes without food for more than 12 hours
72. The word “fast” in paragraph 1 can best be replaced by “________”.
A. eat no food
B. live only on water and soda water
C. live on nothing
D. remain alive for a long time without food
73. A tick can survive much longer than a bird because________.
A. a tick lives on animals
B. a tick is much smaller
C. a bird is more active
D. a tick is much smaller and a bird is more active
74. A person feels hungry________.
A. if he doesn’t choose a mixed diet
B. because his body cries out for food
C. when something is wrong with the regulation of body weight
D. if there are not enough nutritional materials in his blood
75. From the passage we can infer that the author________.
A. believes the South African woman very firmly
B. does not believe the South African woman at all
C. is not certain whether the South African woman’s words were true
D. is doubtful whether there was such a South African woman
