1、下面的短文后列出了10个句子,请根据短文的内容对每个句子作出判断:如果该句提供的是正确信息,选择A;如果该句提供的是错误信息,选择B;如果该句的信息文中没有提及,选择C。 The Ostrich The ostrich, the largest bird in the world at present, lives in the drier regions of Africa outside the actual deserts. Because of its very long, powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings, it is able to run at great speed over considerable distances. The female ostrich normally produces about twenty eggs every rainy season. When the female ostrich begins to lay her eggs, however, she does not begin in her own nest. Instead she goes off in search of the nests of neighboring females and lays two or three eggs in each of them. By the time she! has laid eight or nine eggs, she returns and lays the rest in her own nest. Because of the size of the eggs, the female ostrich cannot lay more than one every two days, so it takes her three weeks to finish laying in her own nest. During that period she spends a lot of time away from her nest looking for food. And while she is off her nest, other females visit it to lay their eggs amongst hers. By the time she is ready to sit on the eggs to hatch them, there could be up to thirty eggs in her nest, over half of which are not her own. The female ostrich can comfortably cover only about twenty eggs when she is sitting on the nest so before settling down she pushes the surplus ten or so eggs out of the nest. The rejected eggs, how- ever, never include any of her own. Each female is remarkably consistent in the size and shape of the eggs she produces, so it is not difficult for her to distinguish her own from those of strangers. Of all the eggs laid by ostriches, only a very small number hatch into young birds. There are times when nests are left unprotected, for there are too few males to sit on all the nests at night. Thus there are ample opportunities for their natural enemies to raid the nests and eat the eggs. In fact, nearly 80% of the nests are destroyed. But even if a particular female's nest suffers this fate, there is a good chance that one or two of her eggs will be hatched in the nest of one of her neighbors. 问：The ostrich is known to us as the largest bird in the human history. 单选题 1分

Their disabilities often start from genetic conditions, and are bad enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. （27） Before the 20th century. only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. （28） Civil liberties such as the right to marry, get an education, and gain employment have historically been refused on the basis of disability. In recent years, the disability rights movement has been organized. Some laws have been passed for protecting the disabled. （29） It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed. （30） For example, while no longer stopped by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships It will only be when public attitudes advance as far as laws have that disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society. A. Unfortunately, these basics are often not available. B. Big difficulties, especially in transportation and public indifference, prevent disabled people from C.

Many an old firm was replaced by a limited liability company with a bureaucracy of salaried managers. The change met the technical （32） of the new age by engaging a large professional element and （33） the decline in efficiency that so commonly spoiled the fortunes of family firms in the second and third （34） after the energetic founders. It was moreover a step away from individual initiative, towards collectivism and municipal and state-owned business. The railway companies, though still private business managed for the benefit of share- holders, were very unlike old family business. At the same time the great municipalities went into business to supply lighting, trams and other （35） to the taxpayers. The growth of the limited liability company and municipal business had important consequences. Such large, Impersonal manipulation of capital and industry greatly （36） the numbers and importance of shareholders as a class, an element in national life representing irresponsible wealth detached from the land and the duties of the landowners and almost equally detached from the responsible management of business. All through the nineteenth century, America, Africa, India, Australia and parts of Europe were being （37） by British capital, and British shareholders were thus enriched by the world's movement towards industrialisation. Towns like Bournemouth and East-bourne （38） up to house large "comfortable" classes who had retired on their incomes, and who had no relation to the rest of the community except that of drawing dividends and occasionally attending a shareholder,s meeting to dictate their orders to the management. On the other hand "Share- holding" meant leisure and freedom which was used by many of the later Victorians for the highest purpose of a great civilisation. The "shareholders" as such had no knowledge of the lives, thoughts or needs of the workmen employed by the company in which he held shares, and his influence on the relations of capital and labour was not good. The paid manager acting for the company was in more direct relation with the men and their demands, but even he had seldom that familiar personal knowledge of the workmen which the employer had often had under the more patriarchal system of the old family business now passing away. Indeed the mere size of operations and the （39） of workmen involved rendered such personal relations impossible. Fortunately, however, the increasing power and organisation of the trade unions, at least in all skilled trades, enabled to workmen to meet on equal terms the managers of the companies who employed them. The cruel （40） of the strike and lockout taught the two parties to, respect each other’s strength and understand the value of fair negotiation.

The first thing you can do is trying to guess what the word means. Often the （41）(surround) context gives a very clear idea of the meaning of the word. Even if you can't work out the meaning （42）(exact), you may be （43） (ability)to get a （44） (vagueness) idea, enough to enable you to continue reading. Sometimes it is （45） (possible)to guess the meaning of a word from the context and then you will have to decide whether the word is （46） (importance)enough to make it worthwhile （47）(stop)and looking it up in a dictionary, or whether you can just pass it by. Many times in your reading, you will come across words which you don't know, but which do not prevent you from understanding all the main points of the text. You can make your dictionary use much more （48）(efficiency) if you only look up the words which are （49） (necessity)to understand the text, and this means that you must develop the skill to （50） (decision)whether the words are worth looking up. 简答题 15分
