14．Are animal brains too simple for thoughts and choices？Stories about animal kindness have really changed my point of view．In fact，some stories are amazing，especially when animals are meeting with people．Here are two stories that interest me：
James，a wildlife writer，told a story about how an African woman had placed her baby in the shade of a tree while she was working．An elephant group walked by and saw the baby．Several elephants pulled lefy branches from the tree and covered the sleeping baby．Flies can be a problem in Africa and the branches protected the baby from the flies．The elephants were so gentle and quiet that they did not even wake up the baby．Then the elephants walked away．
An English magazine offers another story．Bill，the cat，stayed at home while its master was away on a trip，but the man was injured in a railway accident and died a few days later in a hospital．At the funeral （葬禮），the man's brother was surprised to see that Bill was there．The faithful cat had traveled a long way tothe hospital，looked at the coffin （棺材），and then sadly returned home．
Humans are only one part of the earth．The beautiful flowers are our sisters； the deer，the horse，the great eagle，these are our brothers．The sky and mountains，the cows and men，all belong to the same family．These stories，I hope，will inspire more people to treat animals as our friends rather than pets or our next meal．

29．What did the author use to believe？B
A．People meet with animals often．
B．Animal brains are too simple to make choices．
C．We should change our old views about animals．
D．Animal stories have many amazing facts．
30．Why does the author write this passage？B
A．He wants to make animals become our sisters and brothers．
B．He wants to inspire more people to treat animals as friends．
C．He wants to warn people against having more food or pets．
D．He wants to make the earth a whole family．

分析 本文通過小故事講述了動物的大腦也是有復雜的情感的，呼吁大家要把寵物當做朋友，而不僅僅是動物．

解答 29．B．推理判斷題．文章開頭兩句"Are animal brains too simple for thoughts and choices？Stories about animal kindness have really changed my point of view．"動物的大腦對于思考和選擇來說太簡單了嗎？關于動物仁慈的故事確實改變了我的觀點．"明確表明作者以前的看法是動物大腦簡單，故選B項．
30．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第四段"These stories，I hope，will inspire more people to treat animals as our friends rather than pets or our next meal．"，我希望這些故事能激勵更多的人把動物當成朋友，而不止是寵物或下一頓飯，可知答案為B項．

點評 本篇閱讀較為簡單．文章內(nèi)容，所出題目以及選項也較短，因此考生只要閱讀詳略結(jié)合，細心理解，就能快速得出正確答案．

4．Twenty years ago I discovered I was unexpectedly pregnant．I was on my own and in an extremely limited financial situation．So I worked at a pet shop．Having little money，I started losing weight instead of gaining it．
There was a neighbor woman I had visited with a couple of times，and she started working at the pet shop too．Every day，for lunch，she would produce large，organic salads and other very healthy meals．To my surprise she insisted that I have some of her lunch．I tried to refuse，but she was determined．Puzzled，I managed to eat，and when I admitted to everyone at work that I was pregnant，she was very excited，and kept on feeding me，despite the fact that I couldn't hold it down for very long．
She told me that the body very efficiently directed the nutrition to my developing baby．All through my pregnancy she was a guardian angel，looking after me．We became very close friends，and she and her husband even attended my daughter's birth．They ended up taking us into their home and we became part of their family．
One day I mentioned how much I appreciated how she had shared her lunch with me when we worked at the pet shop．She smiled a secretive smile．She told me"I just knew you were part of our family!"I was stunned （不知所措） as I considered this new information．Here I had been alone and pregnant and poor，only to be taken under wing by this woman．
This is，to me，just another of the endless miracles that have lifted me up through my life．In reality I was never alone．

Students in our school have held a heated discussion about whether it is necessary to hold parties to celebrate different festivals．Opinions vary from person to person．Some students are in favor of the activities，which they think make their after-class life colorful and thus relieve some study pressure．（高分句型1）Besides，not only does holding activities help them know each other better but it improves their abilities．What's more，some can display themselves and earn respect．（贊成及其原因）
However，some students hold a different view．Firstly，it will take a lot of time to rehearse，which affects their study．Secondly，the list of performance is limited and only a small number of students have the opportunity to take part in it．Thirdly，a lot of waste is produced after the activity，which is harmful to the environment．（反對及其原因）

6．MultitaskingWhat is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop？The products displayed （展示） at the entrance？Or the soft background music？
But have you ever notice the smell？Unless it is bad，the answer is likely to be no．But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds，it is certainly there．And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase．
A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance，via scent machines．A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air．One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores，customers'intension to purchase increased by 80 percent．
When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs，scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales．That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be．
Some years ago，the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants'disproving attitude and don't-touch-what-you-can't-afford displays．Now the rise of electronic commerce （e-commerce） has opened up famous brands to a wider audience．But while e-shops can use sights and sounds，only bricks-and-mortar stores （實體店） can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave．Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop，but rather a destination．And scent is just one way to achieve this．
Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department，and coconut （椰子） scent in the swimsuit section．A department store has even opened a new lab，inviting customers on a journey into the store's windows to smell books，pots and drawers，in search of their perfect scent．

63．According to the passage，what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store？B
A．Friendly assistant．
B．Unique scents．
C．Soft background music
D．a(chǎn)ttractive window display．
64．E-shops are mentioned in the passage toA．
A．a(chǎn) show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores
B．urge shop assistants to change their attitude
C．push stores to use sights and sounds
D．introduce the rise of e-commerce
65．The underlined word"destination"in Paragraph 5 meansC．
A．a(chǎn) platform that exhibits goods
B．a(chǎn) spot where travelers like to stay
C．a(chǎn) place where customers love to go
D．a(chǎn) target that a store expects to meet．
