第三次月考英语试卷

第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）

第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2分，满分 30 分）

A good book is indeed the best friend of a person. The same goes for high profile CEOs of world

recognized companies as well. Let’s have a look at the favorite books of some of the world-famous

CEOs.

Apple CEO—Tim Cook，Competing against Time by George Stalk Jr. and Thomas M. Hout

This book is based on 10 years of valuable research done by the authors. It talks about how new

concepts of managing time in new product development, production and sales provide companies with

the advantages to succeed in this highly competitive world.

Microsoft CEO(Former)—Bill Gates The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger

A few themes explored in the novel are rebellion( 叛逆), anxiety and confusion. It tells that young

people are a little confused, but can be smart about things and see things that adults don’t really see.

Gates said, “I didn’t actually read The Catcher in the Rye until I was 13, and ever since then I’ve said

that’s my favorite book.”

Oracle CEO—Larry Ellison，Napoleon by Vincent Cronin

This book is considered by far the best biography ever written on Napoleon Bonaparte. Ellison said,

“It’s interesting to read about him for a couple of reasons：to see what an ordinary man can do with his

life and to see how history can distort(歪曲)the truth entirely.”

OWN CEO—Oprah Winfrey，To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

This book talks about how a little girl observes the people around her. Winfrey said, “I read it in

eighth or ninth grade, and I was trying to recommend the book to other kids. So it makes sense to me

that now I have a book club, because I have been doing that probably since I read this book.”

I come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England. It is on the River Cam and has a

population of about 100,000. My hometown is especially famous for its university. Many famous people

studied here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and churches to

visit. Students and tourists enjoy trips along the river by boat.

Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of England and it is on the River

Thames. It has a population of less than nine and a half million, so it is bigger and busier than

Cambridge. It is about 2,000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower

Bridge.

England itself is part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and beaches on

the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low mountains and beautiful lakes in the

north, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England, you will notice how green

the countryside is.

It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of the year,

but bring an umbrella with you. It rains a lot all year round. You will need it most days.

A nickname is a shortened form of a person’s name. A nickname can also be a descriptive name for a

person, place or thing. Many American cities have nicknames. These can help establish an identity,

spread pride among citizens and build unity. Nicknames can also be funny.

Los Angeles, California is the second largest city in population, after New York City. Los Angeles has

several nicknames. One is simply the city’s initials, L.A．It is also called the City of Angels because

Los Angeles means “the angels” in Spanish.

Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather. So another nickname is City of Flowers and Sunshine.

New York is called The Big Apple. So Los Angeles is sometimes called The Big Orange because of the

fruit that grows in that city’s warm climate.

The American motion picture and television industries are based in Los Angeles. So it is not

surprising that it is called The Entertainment Capital of the World. Many films are made in the area of

Los Angeles called Hollywood. Millions of people visit the area. No trip to Los Angeles is complete

without seeing the word “Hollywood” spelled out in huge letters on a hillside.

Many movie stars live in Los Angeles. The city is sometimes called Tinseltown. This nickname

comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.

Another nickname for Los Angeles is La-La Land, using the first letters of Los and Angeles. This

means a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even out of touch with reality.

The city of Los Angeles is part of Los Angeles County. There are many smaller cities in the county.

Beverly Hills, with its rich people, is one of them. So is Pasadena, with its Rose Parade each New

Year’s Day. So are the coastal cities of Santa Monica and Malibu, where people like to ride surfboards

on the Pacific Ocean waves.

A good place for watching unusual-looking people is Venice, an area on the west side of Los Angeles.

A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there.

Many people love Los Angeles for its warm sunny weather, beautiful mountains and beaches, and

movie stars. That includes Randy Newman, who sings about his hometown.

Almost 80% of the Americans have stated their opposition to cloning pet animals such as cats and

dogs, yet companies still try to make a business out of selling cloned pets. Pet cloning has been

promoted as a way to “bring back” or “copy” a beloved companion animal. However, studies have

shown that cloning remains an experimental technology with many failures.

Behind each lovely picture of a cloned cat or dog lie hundreds of animals that were kept in lab cages,

receiving bad treatment to produce just that one cloned animal. For all that, you end up with a cloned

animal who is unlikely to appear like the original physically or behaviorally and may experience serious

health problems. Also, while pet cloning companies are charging customers up to $150,000 for a cloned

pet, millions of homeless animals of the same species are available in US animal shelters for around

$100. Unfortunately, most of these animals are killed for lack of adopting homes.

With No Pet Cloning campaign, the American Anti-Vivisection Society (AAVS) tries to protect both

animals and people from harm. They campaigned until the US companies that sold cloned animals

closed their doors. First it was Genetic Savings & Clone Inc. and then it was BioArts International.

When BioArts was closed, its owner, Lou Hawthorne, finally had to acknowledge the problems of pet

cloning. According to Hawthorne, he has seen numerous failures during his pet cloning attempts, “One

clone—which was supposed to be black and white—was born greenish-yellow where it should have

been white (we still have no good explanation for how that happened).”

The AAVS is educating the public about the animal suffering and is seeking regulation of cloning

activities. They will continue to take the lead in protecting animals from the threats of pet cloning.

12．From the passage, we know that ____.

A．pets are often deserted by their owners

B．To show the method of pet cloning.

C．To compare pet animals with homeless ones.

D．To save the animals kept in labs and shelters.

15．According to the passage, the AAVS devotes itself to ____.

A．getting most countries to fight against pet cloning

B．stopping US companies' selling cloned animals

C．saving lots of animals from bad situations
