四、阅读下列短文,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选择一个正确答案,并在答题纸上写出所选的字母符号。(每题2分,共20分) 短文理解1 PAT the Dog
Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in our hospital wards? These are PAT ( Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are recognizing the benefits of pets more and more – particularly for children, people with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have had to give up their pets.
Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental illness, who hadn’t spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and then started talking to it.
Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000 people in hospital. There are many other “working dogs”. There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly. Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically since he got a god, Tess, from the charity “Dogs for the Disabled”. “She helps me to get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. It’s like having a really good friend. She comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level dropped, and when I was going into a coma she went next door and she alerted
my neighbour. He gave me an insulin injection.”
26. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage? _____B______
A. All the dogs are allowed into the hospitals to visit the patients. B. Only some special dogs can help the patients feel better.
C. Doctors and nurses doubt if pets can bring comfort to the patients. D. Doctors and nurses are aware pets will bring benefits to all the patients. 27. Pets are particularly beneficial to the following EXCEPT _____C______. A. children
B. people with mental illness C. the elderly people who live alone
D. the elderly people who have to live apart from their pets 28. The first sentence of Para. 2 suggests ______D_____.
A. touching and playing with a pet makes people nervous and anxious B. pets can make people become quiet and attentive
C. people feel uncomfortable when they touch and play with a pet D. people feel relaxed and hopeful when they touch and play with a pet 29. The dog helps Alan do the following EXCEPT ____D______. A. She helps her get dressed
B. She accompanies her to the hospital C. She gets the newspaper for her D. She picks up the phone for her
30. The sentence “when I was going to a comma” means that _____C_____. A. when I got hungry B. when I felt asleep C. when I became unconscious D. when I fell down on the floor 短文理解 2
A funny thing happened on the way to the communication revolution: we
stopped talking to each other.
I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his mobile phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and – poof! I was cut off as if I had become absent from the conversation.
The part was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pat their dogs. It seems that the limitless electronic voice is preferred to human contact.
The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends driving down the high way, unable to talk to each other because of the small thing designed to make communication easier. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a setback to the closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.
As almost every contact between human beings gets automatic, the emotional distance index goes up. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good-morning to the assistant when you can swipe your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to the clerk who lives in the neighborhood when you can put your card into the ATM?
More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk. The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.
