But the truth is that some of them have instincts, and besides this, I am sure they can feel certain things we humans cannot. A personal experience showed me this.Some years ago, I had a dog named Howard. From the time when he was a puppy, he was timid, so we named him Howard, sounding like “coward”! He was especially afraid of thunderstorms. At the first flash of lightning or crash of thunder, he would run into his house and hide under a table.I often went for a walk with Howard. Once, as we were walking along a road, it began to rain. I quickly ran to a bus stop for shelter. The bus stop had a roof supported by metal poles. Soon after I had got there, Howard caught my trousers in his teeth and tried to pull me away. At first I was puzzled and a little angry at his behavior. But I decided to humor him and walked away from the shelter into the rain and started to go home. When I was about two hundred meters from the shelter, there came a flash of lightning and soon after, there was thunder which nearly deafened（震聋） me. Howard stopped walking and began whining(哀鸣). Thinking he was afraid, I bent to pick him up. As I straightened up, I glanced at the bus shelter we had just left. I was shocked to see that two of the poles were bent and the roof was lying on the ground, broken. The shelter had been struck by the bolt of lightning!25. The reason why the author was puzzled and angry with the dog was that .A. Howard had a strange behaviorB. Howard should be afraid of the metal polesC. Howard should know the approaching of the terrible lightningD. Howard bit his trousers in his teeth 26. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Dogs are cleverer and better than men. B. Dogs are usually afraid of thunderstorms.C. Some animals can feel certain things humans cannot.D. Dogs are naturally born heroes.27. What can be inferred about the bus shelter from the passage?A. It was about 200 meters from the authors home. B. It was destroyed in a rainy day.C. Its roof was supported by wood poles. D. It could produce blinding flash of lightning. C Ode to Joy (欢乐颂)，a 42-episodes TV series, is about five young women living on the 22nd floor of Shanghais “Ode to Joy” high-rise munity. They bee friends while pursuing love and career advancement. Since its appearance on April 18, Ode to Joy has been praised for its realistic description of the hidden struggles of city life. “The audience can relate to the characters since their experiences can be traced back to real life too，” mented the Dahe Daily. “Even better, female audiences can find themselves in one or two of the characters because the characters embody feminine archetypes (原型）found throughout the society.” But the idea of following a group of women as they lead a city life is hardly a pioneering concept. In many ways, Ode to Joy resembles American TV series like Sex and the City (xx) and Desperate Housewives (xx). These two series were praised for their feminist themes, but they also employed well-known female archetypes to illustrate the range of dilemmas women face. Deborah A. Macey, a munications professor at Saint Louis University in the US, divides these archetypes up into four ways: the iron maiden, the sex object, the child，and the mother. “The iron maiden is portrayed as masculine and career-oriented. The sex object owns her sexuality and genuinely loves her body. The child archetype is naive, optimistic, and dim-witted. The mother archetype connects the characters in the series and serves as the dominant storyteller,” Macey said on the online media forum “In Media Res”. Sounds familiar? Yes, these features can be seen in the characters of Ode toJoy. Andy (Liu Tao), for instance, partly embodies the iron maiden role. Shes super smart, rational and direct. She moves from the US to Shanghai and takes the position of CFO at a top Chinese pany. Fan Shengmei (Jiang Xin) can be seen as the “mother” in the series. Despite the fact that she s in charge of her own family issues，she takes her friends under her wing and stands up for them. Qu Xiaoxiao (Wang ziwen), the sexy and beautiful girl born with silver spoon, perfectly illustrates what is bitter-sweet relationship between friends and lovers. With that being said. Ode to Joy doesnt lack creativity. It assigns the “child” role to two characters-the straightforward, naive Qiu Yingying (Yang Zi), and the good-tempered, hard-working Guan Juer (Qiao Xin). But this category of TV series has its risks. Having five main characters means the drama isnt story-driven but character-driven. “Its not something you often see in Chinese TV dramas，” Yuan Zidan, Ode to Joys screenwriter, told Changjiang Daily. “But we want to challenge the norms.”28. Which of the following is NOT the reason why the audiences like Ode to Joy? A. Many famous actors and actresses starred in Ode to Joy. B.Female audiencc can find themselves in its characters. C.The lives of the characters can be traced back to real life. D It describes the real hidden life of those who are struggling in big cities.29. According to Deborah A. Macey, Fan Shengmei in Ode to Joy is the_ archetype. A. iron maiden B. child C. mother D. sex object30.What does the underlined word “embody” mean in Paragraph 1? A.illustrate B. classifyC. indicate D. recognize 31. What can we infer from the passage? A .Ode to Joy is the first TV series to show a group of womens life in the city. B.Ode to Joy is not a traditional Chinese drama because it is character-driven. C. The characters in Ode to Joy arc the same with those in Sex and Cify and Desperate Housewives. D. Andy fully illustrates the iron maiden who is both masculine and career-oriented.DA new study says electronic toys are not helping babies learn.Even if panies are marketing them as educational, theyre not teaching the babies anything at this time, said Anna Sosa the studys author.Researchers listened to audio(声音的)recordings of parents playing with their babies aged 10 months to 16 months. The researchers pared the experiences when the children played with electronic toys, traditional toys such as blocks,or when the children looked at books. What they found is that parents talked less with their babies when the babies played with electronic toys. Why is this important? Research shows that how quickly children develop language is often based on what they hear from parents. When the infants played with electronic toys, parents said little to their children. But with traditional toys, such as blocks, parents shared the names anddescriptionsof the animals, colors and shapes as their children played. There was even more information given by parents as their babies looked at the pictures in books.Of course, there is no need for parents to throw out electronic toys, but they should look at their infants play with such toys as entertainment, not a learning experience.Toy Industry Association spokeswoman Adrienne Appell responded to the study. She said it is important that parents make time to play with their children. Playing is a way that kids can learn so much, not onlycognitive(认知的)skills, but social and developmental skills, she said. She added that play should be balanced, including time for just make believeactivities, as well as traditional and electronic toys.32. Whats Anna Sosas attitude towards panies claiming that their toys are educational?A. supportive B. doubtful C. uninterested D. indifferent33. We can learn from the text that babies in the research _.A. interact less with their parents when playing with electronic toysB. liked traditional toys better than electronic toysC. talked little with their parents when playing with electronic toys D. listened to audio recordings of their parents 34. Children develop language more quickly when their parents _. A. buy them a lot of toys B. teach them how to speak C. read them picture books oftenD. throw away their electronic toys35. According to Adrienne Appell, playing _. A. cant take the place of learningB. shouldnt take most of childrens timeC. cant develop childrens cognitiveskills D. is good to childrens overall development第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项 中有构项为多余选项。Smiles and tears are part of life.
