五.阅读理解

People realize that, although animals may not have the same intelligence(智力)as human beings, they are smart enough to learn certain things.

Dogs are extremely useful as companions for blind people. When a dog has been properly trained, he will always lead his blind master in the right direction and keep him out of danger. For example, seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if their master ordered them to do so.

Horses are also able to learn many things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises, traffic, and other disturbances. Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses, but they are also quite high strung(易紧张). Therefore, it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient(耐心) and understanding.

The moving pictures and television can use trained animals too. Some animals, such as monkeys and foxes, are easy to film. All you have to do is make a trail in front of the camera by dragging something that smells good to the animals over the ground. Big animals, such as lions and tigers, can be photographed as they bound happily back to their families and dinner. If a movie actor is nearby, the well-trained animal will pay no attention to him. However, the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death by the skin of his teeth.

1. Dogs who help blind people must learn       .

  A. to obey all orders                 B. to obey only safe orders

  C. never to cross roads               D. to cross road when ordered to do so

2. Race horses are hard to train because they are       .

  A. faster than other horses              B. smaller than other horses

  C. clever than other horse              D. more nervous than other horses

3. What does “make a trail” mean here in the last paragraph?

  A. place something to attract the animal      B. give the animal a certain task

  C. order the animal to do things            D. follow the animal to hunt

4. Lions can be photographed easily when       .

  A. they are following a trial of something that smells good to them

  It doesn’t matter when and how much a person sleeps , but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought , until they heard about Herpin. Herpin, it was said , never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.

  Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised . Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw him sleeping. In fact , he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.

  The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure. Herpin died at the age of 94.

As teenager in 1972, Bill Gates once said that he would be millionaire by 

the time he was 20. Only 15 years later he was billionaire. And by 1992, as 

head of the Microsoft company, he became the richest man in American with assets (资产) of about US$ 6.3 billion.
Gates was born in Seattle, Washington on 28, October 1956. He first started to play with the computer at the age of 13 at his school. At that time, computers were very large machines. Operators were required to learn complex computer languages before the machines could be used. Even then, great deal of time and effort was needed to perform the simplest functions. Before long Gates 

was an expert at working the school’s computer. After his graduation from 

secondary school, Gates was accepted by the three top universities in the USA---Princeton. Harvard and Yale. He chose Harvard and began classes there the next autumn, majoring in maths. But he spent as much time in the computer laboratories as he did in the lecture halls.
By 1975, Gates and partner, Paul Allen, had developed software program called BASIC. This was not the first program ever created, but its inventors

 were the first to decide that people who wanted to use it should pay for it.
BASIC was success because until it came along there had been no efficient way of getting computers to carry out instructions. Although he had not yet 

completed his degree, Gates left university and went to work full time for the new company he had formed called Microsoft.
His next project was the software program that made him famous and very 

rich. It was called DOS, short for Disk Operating System, and it was bought 

by IBM in 1980. Today it is the operating system used in more than 14 million personal computers around the world.
As chief executive officer of Microsoft, Gates is known as bright man. To most people, Gates, in spite of his wealth, is humble and ordinary. He spends his money carefully and often eats in fast-food restaurants.
51. When he was teenager, Bill Gates wanted to be______.
A. an engineer   B. scientist     C. businessman   D. professor
52. Bill Gates became billionaire______.
A. at the age of 31   B. in 1985        C. in the 1970’s D. by 1992
53. When Gates was in Harvard University, he________.
A. became head of Microsoft company
B. spent most of his time in computer laboratories
C. developed the first computer program
D. succeeded in making computers carry out instructions
54. Before the invention of BASIC,  software programs____.
A. were very cheap                B. were not considered commercially (商业地)
C. were very expensive            D. were complex but dull
55. Bill Gates was regarded as______.
A. strong-minded man           B. crazy man
C. man spending freely          D. common, normal person

  It doesn’t matter when and how much a person sleeps , but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought , until they heard about Herpin. Herpin, it was said , never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.

  Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised . Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw him sleeping. In fact , he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.

  The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure. Herpin died at the age of 94.

As teenager in 1972, Bill Gates once said that he would be millionaire by 

the time he was 20. Only 15 years later he was billionaire. And by 1992, as 

head of the Microsoft company, he became the richest man in American with assets (资产) of about US$ 6.3 billion.
Gates was born in Seattle, Washington on 28, October 1956. He first started to play with the computer at the age of 13 at his school. At that time, computers were very large machines. Operators were required to learn complex computer languages before the machines could be used. Even then, great deal of time and effort was needed to perform the simplest functions. Before long Gates 

was an expert at working the school’s computer. After his graduation from 

secondary school, Gates was accepted by the three top universities in the USA---Princeton. Harvard and Yale. He chose Harvard and began classes there the next autumn, majoring in maths. But he spent as much time in the computer laboratories as he did in the lecture halls.
By 1975, Gates and partner, Paul Allen, had developed software program called BASIC. This was not the first program ever created, but its inventors

 were the first to decide that people who wanted to use it should pay for it.
BASIC was success because until it came along there had been no efficient way of getting computers to carry out instructions. Although he had not yet 

completed his degree, Gates left university and went to work full time for the new company he had formed called Microsoft.
His next project was the software program that made him famous and very 

rich. It was called DOS, short for Disk Operating System, and it was bought 

by IBM in 1980. Today it is the operating system used in more than 14 million personal computers around the world.
As chief executive officer of Microsoft, Gates is known as bright man. To most people, Gates, in spite of his wealth, is humble and ordinary. He spends his money carefully and often eats in fast-food restaurants.
51. When he was teenager, Bill Gates wanted to be______.
A. an engineer   B. scientist     C. businessman   D. professor
52. Bill Gates became billionaire______.
A. at the age of 31   B. in 1985        C. in the 1970’s D. by 1992
53. When Gates was in Harvard University, he________.
A. became head of Microsoft company
B. spent most of his time in computer laboratories
C. developed the first computer program
D. succeeded in making computers carry out instructions
54. Before the invention of BASIC,  software programs____.
A. were very cheap                B. were not considered commercially (商业地)
C. were very expensive            D. were complex but dull
55. Bill Gates was regarded as______.
A. strong-minded man           B. crazy man
C. man spending freely          D. common, normal person
