11、directions: read the following passage carefully. the passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. for each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c, and d. choose the best answer to each question. questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage. when a topic about rights is brought up, we automatically think of human rights and more than likely, our own. or maybe we think back to when the rights of humans were based on their skin color or appearance. and while that’s great that we acknowledge the rights that our species has as a whole, we are still missing the bigger picture. what about the rights of non-human animals? don’t animals suffer in a similar way to the way slaves suffered back from the 1300s until the 1800s? yet still forms of slavery exist today and they are not only enslaving humans but a majority of animals! taking a step back and looking at slavery as a whole, it seems that the main reason for this discrimination bottles down to race – the color of one’s skin. in simpler terms, the way one looks. this may seem silly, but whether you are white, black, brown, yellow, furry, scaly… your rights vary! why? because our society not only compares your opinions or beliefs to the rest of the world but something you can’t change – your appearance. as far as human beings are concerned, would you eat the mentally ill, the weak, the young, or the abused? what makes animals so different that they don’t classify under these categories like humans do? sure, animals can’t vote and don’t have jobs but neither should or do some people. yet why we value their lives any differently? in the end, no matter what part of the ecosystem we play a role in, each and every one of us has a heart, a mind, and a soul though used differently. how you choose to use these is up to you. but why not give others an equivalent opportunity to use theirs to their fullest potential, too? and even if you don’t believe animals have souls; aren’t you an animal, too? besides, there’s no denying that cats and dogs have souls. why do we put them into a separate box instead of putting all animals into the same one? sure, we have our differences; between human to human, animal to animal or human to animal, being unique is something we should cherish and embrace, not destroy and shackle. do we take away some rights of the illiterate or the mute? of course not! it’s time we stop putting not only humans into boxes, but animals, as well. we’ve taken a step forward when it comes to race but what about species? we’ve liberated those in chains, those who were once viewed as our slaves. yet, now, we sit here disgusted with the act of it all. one can’t help but wonder if the day will come for animals, too; one can only hope. if humans deserve to be liberated, why not liberate animals? human beings are a part of the animal kingdom, not apart from it. question 11 is based on the above passage. what is the purpose of this passage?
a、to appeal for equal treatments of animals as we treat human beings.
b、to advocate a fight against those who mistreat animals.
c、to show humans and animals are treated in different ways.
d、-----
12、question 12 is based on the passage of question 11. what does "the bigger picture" refer to in para. 1?
a、the universe including all species.
b、the rights of non-human animals.
c、the slavery.
d、-----
13、question 13 is based on the passage of question 11. why does the author mention slavery from the 1300s until the 1800s?
a、because humans treated animals kindly at that time.
b、because the mistreatment slaves suffer still exists today.
c、because animals are mistreated today as slaves were at that time.
d、-----
14、question 14 is based on the passage of question 11. what is the root cause for discrimination against slaves, according to para. 2?
a、personal abilities.
b、the way one looks.
c、personal literacy.
d、-----
15、question 14 is based on the passage of question 11. which of the following statements is true?
a、animals share a kinship with human beings, so we should show our respect to our relatives.
b、now that people think of the liberation of slaves many centuries ago as a step forward, animals shouldn't be enslaved any more, since animals and humans belong to the same group.
c、animals are different from humans, so they need a unique treatment.
d、-----
final exam of book 2final test of book 21、directions: read the following passages carefully. the passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. for each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c, and d. choose the best answer to each question. questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage. grammar is an aspect of language about which learners have different opinions. some learners are very interested in finding out or learning grammar rules and doing lots of grammar exercises. others hate grammar and think it is the most boring part of learning a new language. whatever opinion you have, however, you cannot escape from grammar; it is in every sentence you read or write, speak or hear. grammar is simply the word for the rules that people follow when they use a language. we need those rules in the same way as we need the rules in a game. if there are no rules, or if everybody follows their own rules, the game would soon break down. it's the same with language; without rules we would not be able to communicate with other people. so you cannot escape from grammar, but the key question here is: what is the best way to learn grammar? you can learn the rules of a game by simply playing the game. you will certainly make mistakes; you may even get hurt. eventually, however, you will know how to play. of course, the rules of a language are very much more complicated than the rules of any game, but in fact this is exactly how you learned your own language. nobody taught you the rules of your mother tongue as you were growing up but now you never make a grammar mistake. most people learning a new language do not have so much time and such an ideal situation. so, there is no easy answer to the question. there are just as many different opinions about teaching grammar as there are about learning grammar. many teachers believe in the importance of grammar lessons devoted to a study of language rules and lots of practice exercises. other teachers feel that grammar is best learned by doing different language activities without focusing so directly on the rules. whatever your opinion about grammar and whichever is the way you are taught, you need to use different strategies to help you learn grammar more effectively. question 1 is based on the above passage. how is grammar defined in the passage?
a、grammar is something you cannot escape from.
b、grammar is a kind of game that requires a lot of practice.
c、grammar is a set of rules that are used in a language.
d、grammar is a strategy that consists of rules.
2、question 2 is based on the same passage of question 1. according to the passage, why is learning grammar important?
a、a. it helps you make no mistakes.
b、it makes communication possible.
c、it helps you not to get hurt.
d、it makes playing games possible.
3、question 3 is based on the same passage of question 1. in the writer's opinion, what is the best way to learn grammar?
a、playing games with a set of rules.
b、learning grammar naturally as you grow up.
c、recalling how you learned your mother tongue.
d、doing a lot of grammar exercises.
4、question 4 is based on the same passage of question 1. what's the difference between teachers' opinions in the way of learning grammar?
a、more exercises vs. more activities.
b、more activities vs. less exercises.
c、less exercises vs. more grammar rules.
d、more exercises vs. less activities.
5、question 5 is based on the same passage of question 1. what is the main idea of the passage?
a、memorizing rules is required for learning grammar.
b、doing a lot of exercises helps learn grammar.
c、playing games helps learn grammar better.
d、there are different ways to learn grammar.
6、directions: read the following passages carefully. the passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. for each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c, and d. choose the best answer to each question. questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage. as an animal doctor and someone who has spent three decades on biomedical research, i know that animal research saves lives. i am concerned about deceptive claims from anima rights activists about the need for animal research. as we know, animal studies continue to be necessary for advancing human and animal health and have played a vital role in every major medical advance. this includes lifesaving drugs, vaccines (疫苗), new surgical procedures, and improved diagnosis of disease. animal activists try to deceive people and count on society's general lack of scientific insight to advance their agenda. these activists misrepresent the ability of computers and emerging scientific techniques to serve as substitutes for animal studies. government regulations around the world require that new drugs, vaccines, and surgical implants first be tested in animals for potential reactions to poisonous substances. beyond these formal legal requirements, research into the root causes of disease and how diseases become resistant to current treatments cannot be simulated by computer programs or imitated in test tubes. although present-day technology cannot yet replace many types of animal research, the research community is committed to finding new ways to reduce and replace animal testing. animal studies are time-consuming and resource-intensive. if meaningful alternatives exist, companies can save hundreds of millions of dollars in facilities and personnel costs. concern about animal welfare can take very different forms. some people are offended by the use of leather and fur as fashion but accept that medical research must unavoidably use animals until alternatives are found. some groups argue persuasively against intensive farming practices but, again, recognize the need for animals in medical research. my advice is that people carefully consider not just whether or not a group shares their beliefs, but whether or not they behave morally. the strategies used by opponents have included false claims about alternatives to animal testing and misinformation aimed at provoking community concerns about potential disasters. fortunately, very few people support such extreme views. surveys show that most americans support the need for animal studies aimed at medical advances. there is agreement on one key issue: we all look forward to a day when mankind's wisdom provides a way to completely eliminate the need for animal studies. question 6 is based on the above passage. why is the author concerned about claims from animal rights activists?
a、the claims will arrest the development of animal research.
