Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr. Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in Louisville, uses the slide or even rides her bike. Alida was diagnosed（診斷）with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy（NEHI）when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter（過濾）oxygen through extra layers（膜）of cells making it hard or almost impossible to breathe. For Alida and her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the youngster to be able to carry herself. As parents they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a tube following her all the time. The couple found out about “service dogs” from a TV program and realized an animal trained to help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally found help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever（尋回犬）crossed with a poodle-dog Mr. Gibbs. Now--thanks to trainer Ashleigh Kinsley—Alida and Mr. Gibbs love nothing more than playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver. 21. What is Mr. Gibbs? A. A trained dog. B. A policeman. C. A doctor. D. A firefighter. 22. When did the doctor know Alicia caught the disease? A. At her birth. B. At the age of eight. C. Before she was one year old. D. When she was three years old. 23. The underlined part “the couple” in paragraph 3 refers to ________. A. Alida’s classmates B. Alida’s parents C. Alida’s doctors D. Alida’s pets 24. How did Alicia keep alive? A. By training her dog. B. By staying with her parents.新*課*標*第*一*網(wǎng) C. By playing with her fellows. D. By breathing through a tube. B The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture. Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The world’s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum’s most popular display was the skeleton (骷髏) of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801. Three of Peale’s seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits. James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小畫像). His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America. 25. The author mentions in Paragraph 1 that Washington tipped his hat to the figures in the painting to show that ________. A. Charles Willson Peale’s painting was very lifelike B. Washington respected Charles Willson Peale’s work C. Washington was friendly with Raphaelle and Titian Peale D. the painting of the two brothers was very large 26.

Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices, and pay our money. We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? It’s true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them. It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas (佛塔) in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas. Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find only menial (卑微的) jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries, When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos. Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure. The result is responsible tourism, or “ethical tourism.” Ethical tourism has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the people’s lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex. But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages. They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism. What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we’re abroad, we can: Buy local foods and products, not imported ones. Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price. Avoid flaunting wealth. Ask before taking photographs of people. They are not just part of the landscape! Let’s enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too. 32. What is probably the best title for the article? A. Tourism Causes Bad Effects. B. Tourism Calls for Good Behavior. C. Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun. D. Vacations Cost More Than You Think 33. Which of the following is not mentioned? A. Local people were well paid to leave their lands. B. Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people. C. Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work. D. Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price. 34. The underlined phrase "take heart" means" ". A. pay attention B. take care C. cheer up D. calm down 35. According to the passage, the writer thinks . A. tourism is not a promising industry B. dream vacations should be spent abroad C. the problems caused by tourism are easy to settle D. tourists should respect local customs and culture 七選五 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 36 .
