11、ountry guide the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country, and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside. Nowadays a superficial traveller in rural England might conclude

12、 that the village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction （收缩） of village commerce, but its vigor is still remarkable. Our local groc

13、ers shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing （排队） up at a supermarket. And the proprietor （店主） knows well that personal serv

14、ice has a substantial cash value. His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling on the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age pensioner （领养老金 ） who sent her order by word

15、of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for

16、 them. The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce. The writer imp

17、lies that one disadvantage of town shops is that _. A. their prices are higher B. people cannot telephone them C. their staff may make less trouble to satisfy customers D. one has 10 queue up to pay in them 24. Great changes ( ) in China since 1978. A. have been taken place B. have taken place C. ha

A man walked into a restaurant that advertised having the longest menu in the world. The manager was very proud of being able to provide any dish, no matter h

19、ow unusual. At the bottom of the menu, there was a notice that said, “If you do not see the dish you require on this menu, please tell us and we will add it to the menu immediately.” The man looked at the menu and decided to make life really difficult for the manager and his chef. He would order som

20、ething that was very unusual. When the waiter came up to take his order, he said, “You say you can serve any dish, anything at all, even if its not on your menu, which is the longest menu in the world.” “That is correct, sir. We have never yet been unable to meet our customers requirements.” “Very w

21、ell,” the man said. “In that case, bring me two elephant ears on toast. Indian, not African.” The waiter wrote down on his pad： Two Indian elephant ears on toast. “Very good, sir”, he said. “That shouldnt take long. ” He walked away quickly. The man was very surprised and rather disappointed. Then h

22、e smiled as the waiter returned with a very unhappy look on his face. “Ah! ”the man said. “You cant bring me elephant ears on toast, can you? ” The waiter was very apologetic. “Im very sorry, sir, and this is most embarrassing, ” he said, “but Im afraid we cant. Unfor tunately, weve run out of bread

33、解单项选择题（本大题共 50 分，共 5 小题，每小题 10 分） 1. Many chemical pesticides(杀虫剂 ), such as DDT, are more dangerous to other animals than to the pests(害虫 ) themselves. However, there are safer methods used to control pests. One method is called biological pest control. It uses living things to control pest populat

34、ions. For example, one type of biological pest control uses the natural enemy of a pest. The natural enemy eats the pest, or stops it from reproducing. For instance, aphids(蚜虫 )that eat leaves are controlled using ladybird beetles(瓢虫 ).The ladybird beetle reduces aphids populations by eating the pes

35、t. Many natural chemicals from plants and animals are excellent pesticides. Some plants contain chemicals that taste bad, smell bad, or are even poisonous to pests. Scientists can collect these chemicals and spray them on other plants. Some pests produce their own chemicals that can also be used to

36、control them. Many female insects give off chemicals to attract male. Scientists collect the chemical and use it to lure male insects. By killing male insects we may have fewer young insects. Pest control of any type can often be avoided if people use preventive methods. Many farmers prevent insects

37、 from becoming pests by changing the plants they grow ever year. Covering food and garbage can be reducing common pets such as flies. Thus many cases we can avoid problems by removing the food or shelter that pests like.(1). There are many ways to keep pests under control besides using ( ) A. synthe

Some scientist think that one day animals maybe trained to do a lot of simple jobs that are now being done b

42、y human beings. They point out that at a circus( 马戏团 ), for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal something to eat as a reward (奖赏 ). The scientists say that many different a

43、nimals may be trained to do quite a few simple jobs if they know they would get a reward for doing them. Of course, as we know, dogs can used to guard a house as soldiers in both old and modem times. Geese have been used to give warning by making a lot of noise when an enemy comes near. But it may b

44、e possible to train animals to work in factories. In Russia, for example, pigeons, which are birds with good eyesight, are being used to watch out fault .(毛病 ) in small steel balls. When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others, it touches a switch. This turns on a light to warm the

45、workers in the factory. At the same time, a few seeds are given to the pigeon as a reward. It takes three or five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect three thousand balls an hour.Apes (猿 ) have been used in America in helping to make cars and scientists believe that these l
