9.Monkeys are very similar to us in many ways.Most have ten fingers and ten toes,and brains much like ours.In fact,Charles Darwin's theory of evolution says that monkey and humans share a common ancestor.We enjoy watching them because they often act like us,and we also love to use many expressions about monkeys in almost every language.This is why many monkey expressions are about tricky people or playful acts.
Monkeyshine is one of the expressions to show tricks or foolish acts.The meaning is clear if you have ever watched a group of monkeys playfully chasing each other:pulling tails,stealing food,doing tricks.
Monkeying around with something means that you do not know what you are doing.When you feel like doing something but have no firm idea of what to do,you are monkeying around.It is just a way to pass the time.
Monkey business usually means secret,maybe illegal activities.You may come across a new report that there is monkey business involved in building the new airport,with some officials getting secret payments from builders.
Monkey suits are common names for clothes or uniforms soldiers wear.In earlier years in many American cities,you would find men playing musical band organs on the street.Dancing to the music would be the man's small monkey that was dressed in a tight-fitting,colorful jacket similar to a military uniform.So,people began to call a military uniform a monkey suit.
24.Which of the following is NOT true about the similarities between human and monkey?B
A.Most monkeys have ten fingers and toes.
B.Monkeys have the same brains as humans.
C.Monkeys often act like humans in many ways.
D.Monkeys are humans'closest relatives in species.
25.According to the passage,an idle wander on the street can be described asB.
A.monkeyshine                    
B.monkeying around
C.a monkey suit                    
D.monkey business
26.Monkey suits are commonly used to call military uniforms because theyC.
A.are created particularly for soldiers'uniforms.
B.are originally designed for American soldiers.
C.share typical features with military uniforms.
D.make American soldiers look like monkeys.
27.Most monkey expressions areC.
A.used only in western cultures.
B.used on some formal occasions.
C.about tricks and naughtiness.
D.about terrible funny behaviors.

解答 24.B.细节理解题.根据前文Most have ten fingers and ten toes,and brains much like ours.In fact,Charles Darwin's theory of evolution says that monkey and humans share a common ancestor可知猴子和人类的相似之处在于都有十个手指和十个脚趾,大脑也很像,各种行为也和人类类似;故选B.
25.B.细节理解题.根据第三段Monkeying around with something means that you do not know what you are doing.When you feel like doing something but have no firm idea of what to do,you are monkeying around可知街上游手好闲的人可以描述为monkeying around;故选B.
26.C.细节理解题.根据最后一段Dancing to the music would be the man's small monkey that was dressed in a tight-fitting,colorful jacket similar to a military uniform可知猴子服通常被称为军装,因为他们拥有军服的典型特征;故选C.
27.C.细节理解题.根据第一段This is why many monkey expressions are about tricky people or playful acts可知大多数猴子的表情是狡猾和顽皮的;故选C.

2.What are you like in the morning?Do you find it easy to get up?Or it is really hard for you?A group of people from Denmark have formed the B-Society.According to them,human beings are divided into two types:A-people and B-people.A-people have no problem getting up in the morning,and operate much better earlier in the day.However,B-people are better later in the day."I'm useless early in the morning,"says one of the members of the B-Society."All I can do is drink coffee,and stare into space.People used to get up early because they had to feed the animals.But I haven't got any cows or chickens,so I can sleep late."she adds.Since the society was set up,the B-Society has welcomed several thousand members.
    Right now,the B-Society is fighting hard for business to join its B-certification(认证)list.Companies that are"B-certified"basically give their employees the opportunity to come in when they want.In some companies,employees arrive at any time up to 3:30 p.m.------each to their own rhythm."This is a small hi-tech company."said one director from a B-certified company."And I need brains which are working at full speed."
    And it is not just business that is benefiting from this.Teenagers who can't get out of bed in the morning,and parents who never quite get the kids to school on time,can now benefit from B-classcs.From next year,a school in Copenhagen will offer classes which start later in the day (at ten instead of eight).And even the government seems to like the idea.
    The B-Socicty was founded by Camilla Kring,a professor from the University of Copenhagen.On her website,she says,uWhen B-peopIe's work rhythms are considered at the work place,their productivity and quality of life is increased,which can increase productivity for the entire organization."
    She adds that,"B-Society will create a new daily rhythm in schools and other institutions as an alternative to the current rhythm of'early at work and early at home'.We are working for the establishment of kindergartens,primary and secondary schools as well as universities that open between 10 a.m.and 8 p.m..''.
    Would you like to work for a B-certified company?

56.According to the text,who belong to the B-Society?A
A.Late risers               
B.Businessmen      
C.Animal lovers           
D.Sleep experts
57.In B-certified companies,employees canD.
A.do whatever they like
B.get more work opportunities
C.work on any days they choose
D.go to work at any time of a day
58.In Camilla Kring's opinion,B-peopleC.
A.are more hard working than A-people
B.have a better quality of life than A-people
C.are more productive if given more freedom
D.like the rhythm of"early at work and early at home"
59.What can we learn about the B-Society?D
A.It will establish its own schools.
B.It has got the government's support.
C.It is popular with most young people.
D.It works to create a more flexible society.
60.The author's purpose in writing this text is toC.
A.stress the importance of getting up early
B.express his attitude towards the B-Society
C.introduce a group having a special daily rhythm
D.call on people to work for B-certified companies.

1.Pets are popular.They're good listeners,they encourage us to exercise,and they're always on our side when we argue with others.They can bring us comfort and pleasure.
     But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick.Washing your hands often-----especially after you touch,feed,or clean up a pet-----is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease.Be sure to clean your fingernails(指甲)
carefully every time you wash.
      You can also protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animals cages or cat litter boxes.Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub(浴缸),but if you do,always disinfect(给----消毒)the tub immediately afterward.
      Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured.
      You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy.Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them.It's not a good idea to share your food with your pet.Human food (like chocolate) can make animals sick.Never feed your pet raw meat because it can carry germs(细菌)that cause serious illness.
      Never give milk to cats.The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother.Cow's milk is not for pets,especially for cats,as it makes them sick.
      Finally,some animals aren't pets.Don't take in a wild or abandoned(被抛弃的)animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick.Instead,turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals.

18.Dear John,
My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you've shared about life and positive energy has changed my life.This past year has been one of the hardest for me.I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life.In January,after two years of being together,my boyfriend left me.

One of the biggest things I've taken to heart from your blog is changing my opinions on my job.Yes,it was not an important position,but when I was passionate (热情的) about it,I could make my life fulfilling.
All in all,I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because it truly is inspiring to me.So thank you so much,John.My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction,Take care!
Sincerely,
Amber

19.Bags of Love
Last year,I was assigned to work at an office near my mother's house,so I stayed with her for a month.During that time,I helped out with the housework and contributed to the groceries.
After less than a week,I started noticing that the groceries were running out pretty quickly-we were always suddenly out of something.(81)Wondering(wonder) how my mum could consume them so quickly,I began observing her daily routine for two weeks.To my surprise,I found that she would pack a paper bag full of canned goods and head out every morning at about nine.Eventually,I decided to follow her and (82)what happened truly amazed me.She was taking the food to the refugee camp,in (83)which she distributed it to children.
I asked around and found out that my mum was very well known in the area.The kids were very friendly with her and even looked up to her as if she (84)were their own mother.Then it (85)hit(hit) me-shy would she mot want to tell me about what she (86)had done(do)?Was she worried about how I would react or that I would stop (87)buying(buy) the groceries if I found out?
When she got home,I told her about my discovery.(88)Before she could react,I gave her a big hug and told her she didn't need to keep it a secret (89)from me.She told me that some of the children lived with an older lady in a shelter while others slept on the streets.For years,my mum has been helping out by giving them whatever food she could spare.I was so impressed by (90)how selfless she was.
