高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Our dog Sandy is a golden retriever( 寻回犬). Once we performed an experiment to see how keen his nose was.There was one particular pile that must have had hundreds of sticks. We picked up one stick carved an X on it, walked away from the pile and then threw it back into the pile, not once but a dozen times into the pile. It was impossible for us to tell with any certainty which stick we had originally chosen. Each time he brought back that stick. It wasn't the shape or the size or the look of the stick that he used to pick it out from all the others. It was the smell we left on the stick. It is hard to imagine, but for dogs every living creature has its own distinctive smell.

The noses of people have about 5 million cells that sense smell. Dogs' noses have anywhere from 125 to 300 million cells. Moreover, these cells are closer to the surface than cells in our noses, and more active. It has been estimated that dogs such as Sandy have noses that are a million times more sensitive than ours. Clothes that we haven't worn for week,and places we've only touched lightly indicate our presence to dogs.

His ears are also remarkable. He can hear sounds that humans can't and at distances which are astonishing. It is over our head to know and understand that world. Yet we have the advantage of being able to imagine what his experience is like, though he probably doesn't think too much about how we see the world.

The environment is the world that all living things share. Living creatures are born into the environment and are part of it. Yet there is no creature who perceives (感知到) all of what is and what happens. For a dog like Sandy a book isn't much different than a stick, whereas for us one stick is pretty much like every other stick. There is no one world experienced by all living creatures.

1.Why did the author conduct the experiment?

A.To train Sandy to pick out sticks.

B.To show how fast Sandy found sticks.

C.To prove sensitivity of Sandy's nose.

D.To teach Sandy to tell different smells.

2.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?

A.Support the conclusion with numbers.

B.Summarize the previous paragraph.

C.Provide some advice for the readers.

D.Introduce a new topic for discussion.

3.What does the underlined idiom in paragraph 3 mean?

A.Amazing. B.Difficult.

C.Reasonable. D.Inconvenient.

4.Which of the following best expresses the author's opinion in the last paragraph?

A.Worlds to experience.

B.An environment to share.

C.No environment, no creatures.

D.One environment, many worlds.

Why Dogs Chase Their Tails

It might look like a strange activity to humans, but tail-chasing is a way for dogs to burn off some energy. In most cases, they're doing this for one of two reasons: 1..

If a dog doesn’t have anything (or anyone) to play with, it might need to entertain itself—in this case, by playing with its tail. On the other hand, the behavior could be a warning sign that your dog is becoming anxious or stressed. ''We call these displacement(替代) behaviors, similar to a human playing with their hair or tapping their foot, '' says Hartstein. ''2..''

One reason tail-chasing can be a must-do for dogs is that they start playing with their tails as playful puppies learning about their bodies.3.. ''The dog then learns it can get attention from its owners when it does that, '' says Hartstein.

4.. But if your pet is doing it every day or it seems to become an obsession(强迫), you'd better watch out. A constantly bored or stressed dog might be feeling neglected. Make sure its basic needs are being met, including exercise and socialization.

5.. If the tail-chasing started suddenly, your dog might be reacting to a medical issue, like cognitive disorder, or tapeworm(绦虫), says Hartstein. The sooner you get a medical checkup, the better. ''A lot of times, owners think, 'If I just wait, it will get better on its own, '' Hartstein says. ''But (behaviors) get more intense; they get more difficult.'' With some treatment and extra training, you and your dog will both be happier.

A. They are happy and content

B. They're bored or they're stressed

C. A visit to the vet is also a good idea

D. They gradually get into the habit of chasing tails

E. Owners often laugh at the activity and talk about it

F. They seek to do things that can comfort themselves

G. It’s normal for dogs to chase their own tails every now and then

If you look outside, you probably will see some kind of insect. If your first instinct is to kill it, take a moment to think about all of the benefits insects provide to the environment.

Entomologists, scientists who study insects, estimate that there are more than 800,000 species of insects found throughout the world. Only a few hundred of these insects are considered harmful. Mosquitoes, for example, are considered harmful. They bite humans and other animals, and their bites can cause skin pain and spread disease. Desert locusts also are considered harmful because they destroy crops causing billions of dollars in damage each year.

However, the number of helpful insect species far outweighs the number of harmful species. Some insects make up a vital part of the food chain. Many different birds, reptiles, fish and even plants eat insects. There are also about 500 insects that people in various parts of the world eat. These insects are considered delicious food and prized for their high protein, mineral, and vitamin content. Other insects produce valuable commercial products such as silk, wax, and honey.

Of all the insects, perhaps the most important are those that travel from flower to flower and pollinate(授粉) the plants they visit. Agriculture around the world would be very different without the bees, butterflies, moths, flies and wasps that pollinate many crops. In fact, nearly one-third of the food you eat depends on plants that are pollinated by insects!

While it is true that some species of insects harm or annoy us,you should not automatically reach for the bug spray when you come across an insect. You may be destroying one of the hundreds of thousands of insects that provides many benefits to human beings.

1.According to the passage, the most important type of insects are ________.

A.insects that are eaten by birds, reptiles and fish

B.insects that travel around and pollinate plants

C.insects that harm mosquitoes and stop the spread of disease

D.insects that are eaten by people in many countries

2.According to the passage, insects are eaten in some parts of the world because ________.

A.they are nutritious

B.they are available to cook

C.they are easy to breed

D.they are free

3.According to the author, the sentence in the last paragraph “you should not automatically reach for the bug spray.” means ________.

A.you should not keep insects as pets

B.you should not breed insects for their benefit

C.you should not catch insects for pleasure

D.you should not kill insects without thinking

4.The main purpose of this passage is ________.

A.to explain why it is cruel to kill bugs

When several different people look at the same person, it is not unusual for each of them to see different things; when you alone observe one behavior or one person at two different times, you may see different things. The following are but some of the factors that lead to these varying perceptions (感知，认知)：

　(1)Each person’s perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning education, and personal experiences.

　(2) Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we’ve observed. It is not necessarily true that person perception is based on observations of a particular person. Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person; or you may focus (聚焦) primarily on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the same yardstick (标准) to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.

　(3) Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don’t see what may be obvious to others because of out own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. This is a process known as selective perception. Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory (矛盾的) information is particularly obvious, but it can be done. We can ignore (忽视) the stimulus- “He’s basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting. ”

　We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information- “All kids (孩子) get into mischief (顽皮) . Taking a book from the bookstore isn’t such a big deal. ” We can change the meaning of the contradictory information-”It wasn’t shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.”…

1.The first factor given by the author that affects our perception is _____.

2.While observing a particular person, ______.

3.Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because ______.

4.The word “stimulus ” in paragraph 4 refers to ______.
