阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A。B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 【2014高考英语广东省华侨中学四模】

How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments－mostly for entertainment purposes－is fair and respectful?

Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals。 How ever, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats。 Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes。

Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species， but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals' natural behavior， intelligence, or beauty。 Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages， and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet， and natural range. The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don't usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.

The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain。

Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding (圈养繁殖） of endangered big cats， Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild。 Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers。 Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals？

Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them。 Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.

36。 How would the author describe the animals' life in zoos?

A. Dangerous。 B。 Unhappy。 C. Natural。 D。 Easy。 37. In the state of zoochosis， animals _________。 A。 remain in cages B。 behave strangely

C。 attack other animals D。 enjoy moving around 38。 What does the author try to argue in the passage？ A。 Zoos are not worth the public support. B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals. C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings。 D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment。

39。 The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _____。

学必求其心得，业必贵于专精

A。 discussing the advantages of natural habitats B. using evidence he has collected at zoos C. questioning the way animals are protected D. pointing out the faults in what zoos do

40. Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _______.

A。 zoos have to keep animals in small cages B。 most animals in zoos are endangered species C. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos

D。 it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats 【参】36－40. BBADC

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A，B，C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项.

“So what is Quintura？” you may ask。 “I like the search engine I currently use， My Favorite Search Engine. Why do I need anything else？ My Favorite Search Engine knows everything about every subject I am interested in and I can access all of the information available on the Web with My Favorite Search Engine。”

“Oh， yes!\" we answer. “Indeed! We have no doubt that you have chosen the best search engine for your own search purposes！ We don't want you to part with your favorite ─ Yahoo, MSN or Google.”

学必求其心得，业必贵于专精

However, what if you think about searching in a different way。 Have you ever raked through the paper card index of a big library？ You have to find the necessary letter (or their combination）， take the correct drawer， and start sorting through the cards。 Ring any bells？ After much time and effort， finally you find the long—awaited card!

Of course web search engines take away the laborious task of sifting (筛选） through paper index cards. And if you know the book’s exact author and title, either search is easy ─ on the web or in a library. But what if you know only your general search scope? Neither the author’s name nor the book title。 In a library， the only way out is to ask a librarian. But on the web, what do you do？ You are on your own。 Until now， Quintura is the very know-all librarian!

Imagine a conversation between you and the search engine you use most often， My Favorite Search Engine (MFSE）。 You： I need some books on physics。

MFSE: No problem。 We have a lot of good literature。 You： Oh. . 。 so many of them!

MFSE： You asked for books on physics， here， I’ve found some more.

You: No， I need only one branch of physics。

MFSE： But I have all the branches！ Thousands of books. Choose whatever you want.

学必求其心得，业必贵于专精

You: But I need the branch on solid movement: acceleration, friction and so on。

MFSE: Here they are。 Books on physics. 。 。

Now imagine beginning the same conversation with Quintura （Qu). You： I need some books on physics。

Qu： OK! We have a lot of good literature； what branch of physics do you need？

You： Branch? I’m not sure of its name. Qu: What is your branch about?

You： Solid movement： acceleration, friction and so on.

Qu： Let's see。 Here is mechanics! Please note this list of books, our visitors mostly ask for these books on mechanics。 You： Thank you。

1。 Quintura is the name of 。

A. a web search engine B。 a well-known website C。 a big library D. a librarian

2。 What is the purpose of the writer’s talking about the paper card index of a big library?

A. To tell us how to find your book in a big library。 B. To remind you of your school life。

C. To advise you to think about searching in a different way。

学必求其心得，业必贵于专精

D. To prove the paper card index is worse than web search engines。 3. In the writer’s opinion, if you know only your general search scope you'd better use 。

A. Quintura B. Yahoo C. MSN D。 MFSE 4。 From the two conversations we can learn 。 A。 MFSE can provide you with more books than Quintura B. MFSE always offers you some useless information

C。 Quintura can help you find what you are searching for more quickly than MFSE

D. Quintura can offer you more information than MFSE 【参】1-4、.ACAC

In the early days of the automobile,almost every car maker raced his cars。It was the best way of gaining public notice。Henry Ford decided to build a racing car。Ford's most famous race was his first one.It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.

The race was in 1901，at a field near Detroit.All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left:the Winton and Ford's.The Winton was famous for its speed.Most people thought the race was over before it began.

The Winton took an early lead.But halfway through the race, it began to lose power。Ford started to gain。And near the end of the race， he took the lead。Ford won the race and defeated the Winton.His name appeared in newspapers and he became well­known all over the United States.Within weeks of the race， Henry Ford formed a new automobile company.In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company。That_sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream.Ford said: “I will build a motor

The Model T was a car of that kind.It only cost ＄850。It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.Doctors bought the Model T．So did farmers.Even criminals。 They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation。Americans loved the Model T．They wrote stories and songs about it。Thousands of Model T’s were built in the first few years.

爵士乐的流行

1935年，只有26岁的单簧管演奏者兼乐队指挥 Benny Goodman率领由14件乐器组成的“摇摆”乐队，乘坐不甚显耀的车队离开纽约，前往（head for）洛杉矶巨大的巴罗默演奏厅。这是一次艰难的跋涉（be not an easy trip）.有六、七场(half a dozen）沉闷的（dismal)夜间演出，观众寥寥无几（sparsely attend）。乐队又在丹弗的一家舞厅演出了三个星期，不得已（be forced to）演奏了华尔兹、探戈及一些新奇的乐曲。在巴罗默首场演出晚会上，乐队首先演奏了芭蕾曲，却没有得到舞友的回应。一位乐师说：要想制造爆炸性效果就制造点新花样吧！Goodman便要求（call for）乐队演奏狂热、快速的改编乐曲，其中许多曲子是这位天才的黑人乐队指挥和乐曲改编者Fletcher Henderson演奏的。年轻人们都不跳舞了，他们全欢呼着围到了演奏台周围。很清楚,在帕罗马几个星期的演出结束前,Goodman突然将爵士乐—-尽管在此前10年中Jelly Roll Morton和其他人都有卓越的创作，爵士乐当时仍然没有为人们所接受、在很大程度上仍然是潜意识的美国民间音乐——变成了一种通俗音乐。 Goodman令人惊奇的方式继续着。1936年，他邀请两位黑人乐师——优雅的钢琴演奏家(the elegant pianist)和专注的（the plunging）电颤琴演奏家Lione Hampton-—加盟,这极大地影响了（shake up）白人娱乐圈。（而事实上(to be sure),两位黑人乐师都没有在乐队中演奏，只是在演奏间歇时同Goodman和鼓手Gene Krupa一起露露面。）一年后,当乐队入驻纽约市派拉蒙剧院演奏三周，大群年轻人到场,他们尖叫着、狂舞着，几乎发生了混乱。那是美国第一次由于演出

引发的狂热现象（show frenzy)，它为后来出现的1947年的西纳特拉狂热、披头士合唱队狂热和70、80年代忘我的摇滚乐产生的狂热铺平了道路。

接着,1938年1月16日晚,Goodman率领乐队进入已卖出的卡耐基大厅,对古典音乐发起挑战。庞大的乐队演奏了十多首乐曲、两曲三重奏、五曲四重奏。尽管美国《时代》杂志古典音乐评论家Olin Downes立即提出批评（“昨天晚上的演奏，如果噪音、快速的音乐节奏和节拍以及所有的旧乐器就意味着热烈,昨天晚上的演出很“热\"，却毫无意义（nothing come of it all）,终究无疑是单调乏味（monotonous）\"）， Goodman的音乐会进一步提高了爵士乐在美国通俗乐中的影响。
