There are amazing things in the world. The story about Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster(尼斯湖水怪), is one of the widely spread legends(传说) in the early 20th century.

On July 22, 1933, two visitors, Mr. and Mrs. George Spices, were driving along one of the most famous lakes in the highlands of Scotland. Suddenly they saw an animal on the road in front of them. Unlike any other animals that they had seen before, it had a very big body and a very small head, but no legs. When Mr. and Mrs. Spices saw it, it was moving towards the lake like a snake. Later on, the animal was described like a long black or green dinosaur, and it was informally called Nessie.

第一节 阅读理解下面的短文,然后根据短文内容,指出能完成所给句子或回答所提问题的最佳答案。(每小题2分)

What makes a house a home? A home is a place of companionship with people in it who love each other, who are harmonious (和谐的) and closer with one another than with those in the workplace or with classmates at school. A home is a place that’s so magnetic that it’s difficult to leave. In a home there is love, sharing and appreciation, and the members help one another.

I have seen families on the street. But if they live, sleep, talk, and eat together, they are a family, even if they are poorly off. You don’t need a roof to make a home. The truly homeless are some of the rich people who build multi-million-dollar houses and are too busy to really live in them. The truly homeless are those who have turned their home into a hotel lobby. The parents work and the children misbehave. They don’t talk and eat together every day. They rarely see each other. The truly homeless people are those with babysitters, caretakers, gardeners and maids. However, people are unaware of this, as they are too busy making money outside the home that they don’t live in. This is another way of looking at the rich and the homeless. Who is to be pitied?

Control of the computer and the Internet is also important to make a house into a home. If the computer is on all the time, the house turns into an office, even if everyone is at home. Many homes these days are just offices. Human communication has stopped. The computer eats up all the time that one should be giving to others within the home. Using the computer moderately gives us time for play and communication, not with a screen, but with other people.

1 Which of the following may serve as the best title for this passage?

       A. How to make a house a home? B. What makes a house a home?

       C. Who are truly homeless?   D. What is a home for?

2 The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell us ____ .

       A. that where there is home there is love  B. how to have a happy home

       C. what people think a home is     D. the author’s concept of home

3 The underlined word “those” refers to ____ .

       A. people who build multi-million-dollar houses

       B. people who don’t spend time with the family

       C. people who have lost their family members

       D. homeless families living on the street in America

4Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?

       A. Computers and the Internet are important for a happy home.

       B. A home is a place where you are willing to stay.

       C. Sometimes it’s the rich that should be pitied.

       D. Even the poorest people can have a happy home.

5 According to the passage, which is NOT mentioned as an element (要素) of a home?

       A. Communication.      B. Appreciation.     C. Kindness.    D. Companionship.
