15、opermans task is much more basic. He, or she, is trying to shame the irresponsible dog owners of Lincoln into cleaning up behind their pets. Pooperman sticks notes into dog waste that owners have failed to clean up, warning them not to do it again. The typed notes read: “Dont leave it. You might be
16、the one who steps in it the next time you walk this way.” While welcoming the purpose of the message, local government officers have rounded on Pooperman for producing even more rubbish. They say they would prefer it if people told them when there was a problem rather than adding to the rubbish prob
17、lem. The City of Lincoln governments environmental officer, Tony Garner, said: “The public can help instead by observing dog owners to make sure they clean up after their pets, perhaps asking them to remove the waste if they try to leave it.” “If this doesnt work we can take action- people can call
18、us who the owner is, give us a description of the owner and the dog, or simply tell us when and where they allow their dog to produce the waste.”“ We can then focus our patrols(巡逻) and take action against irresponsible owners.”Sue Grace, a dog owner from Birchwood, Lincs, said: “I always clean up af

24、atch less, a study found.“Its not just about turning off the television. Its about changing the channel. What children watch is as important as how much they watch,“ said lead author Dr. Dimitri Christakis, a pediatrician (儿科医生) and researcher at Seattle Childrens Research InstituteThe study involve
25、d 565 Seattle parents, who periodically filled out TV-watching diaries and questionnaires measuring their childs behavior.Half were guided for six months on getting their 3-to-5-year-old kids to watch shows like “Sesame Street“, “Bob the Builder”, “Clifford the Big Red Dog” and “Dora the Explorer“ r

31、s who are sentenced to death. 58. What does the author think of the study? A. Imperfect but valuable. B. Perfect but time-consuming. C. Lengthy and useless D. Meaningful and perfect. CSomething that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is, not surprisingly, his sense of humor. As far as I
32、can tell, hes the first American President to have one. Thats because the term “sense of humor” really wasnt in common usage until the eighteen-sixties and seventies. In the eighteen-forties and fifties, it was called “the sense of the ridiculous,” and didnt have the positive connotations(隐含意义) that
33、 “sense of humor” has today. Back then, what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule（讥笑）. Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand. Of course, they still do a lot of arm-in-arm strolling in our day as well.Lincolns humor was very different because, for one thing, it was actually “humor” as the word
34、was defined in his time. We dont make the distinction between “wit(风趣)” and “humor” anymore, but in the nineteenth century people did. Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic. Its the difference we note now when we distinguish between “laughing with” and “laughing a
35、t.” Lincoln was much more about “laughing with” than “laughing at.” And when “laughing at,” it was often himself he was teasing.In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates, when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced, Lincoln replied, referencing his homeliness, “Honestly, if I were two-faced, would I
36、 be showing you this one?” And, in a way, Lincolns face itself tells us much about his sense of humor.You can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians, soldiers, and the like from Lincolns time and not find a single smile.True, the long exposures(曝光) required for photographs of that era
37、made smiling difficult. Yet Lincoln alone, as far as I can tell, overcame that difficulty.Interestingly, while having a sense of humor, or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers, has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time, in the nineteenth century
38、, too much humor was considered a problem. And that was the case for Lincoln. A journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates commented that “I could not take a real personal liking to the man, owing to an inborn weaknessthat he was extremely fond of jokes, anecdotes, and stories.”59. We can infer
39、 from Paragraph 2 that _ . A. the American President could influence the use of English. B. the term “sense of humor” wasnt invented until the 1860s. C. what was funny to someone might be offensive to someone else.D. the concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time.60. The underline
40、 words “this one” in Paragraph 4 refer to _ . A. Lincolns unattractive face. 湖北省部分重点中学高三 10 月联考英语答案 第 5 页 共 11 页 5B. Lincolns sense of humor C. the debate they were having. D. cruelty that went with funniness. 61. We rarely see people from Lincolns time wear smiles in their photos because _ . A. bei
41、ng humorous was considered inappropriate. B. they found it quite funny to smile before camera. C. not smiling for photographs was the fashion. D. photography technology then was not advanced. 62. What might the writer think of the journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates? A. His comment accur
42、ately reflected his time. B. He created a false picture of Lincoln. C. He was prejudiced and self-centered. D. He was brave to point out Lincolns weakness.DThe Statue of Liberty is a national monument. It stands on Liberty Island, in New York Harbor.Dressed in a robe and sandals, Lady Liberty braved
43、 strong winds, crashing waves and heavy rain from Superstorm Sandy last October. The world-famous statue survived the storm, but its home on Liberty Island wasnt so lucky. The island had been closed since the storm. But on July 4 this year, the Statue of Liberty finally reopened to visitors. Superst
44、orm Sandy made landfall one day after the statues 126th birthday. The storm flooded most of the 12-acre island in New York Harbor. Floodwaters damaged the visitor center, walkways and electrical systems. In some areas, water surged(汹涌)as high as eight feet. The storm caused more than $59 million wor
45、th of damages to the island, but the Statue of Liberty itself was unharmed, since it stands on a high pedestal(底座).Over the past eight months, the National Park Service (NPS) has worked to clean up and repair the damages. More than 1,000 employees from all over the country helped with the repairs. T
46、hrough their efforts, Lady Liberty was made ready for visitors again. While some repairs to brick walkways and docks are still underway, visitors arrive by ferry boats to tour the national landmark on Independence Day. “Its a perfect day to reopen the statue,” NPS spokesman John Warren said. “Its a
47、great day to celebrate liberty throughout the country and the world.” The Statue of Liberty was designed by French sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi. He called it Liberty Enlightening the world. The statue was a gift of friendship from France to the US. It arrived in New York Harbor in 1885. Even
48、with help from other workers, it took Bartholdi nine years to build the 225-ton monument, which stands about 305 feet tall. In the statues left hand, Lady Liberty holds a tablet with the date July 4, 1776- the day America declared its independence from Britain. 63. Which of the following is true about Superstorm Sandy? A. It flooded Liberty Island and led to its closing. B. It caused great damage to most parts of the USA. C. It hit New York Harbor before the statues 126th birthday. D. It ha
