Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points)



Directions:
There
are
4
passages
in
this
part.
Each passage is
followed
by
5
questions
or
unfinished
statements.
For
each
of
them
there
are
4
choices
marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER
SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter.



Passage One



Here's
a
familiar
story.
You're
sitting
at
the
dinner
table
with
a
furry,
four- legged friend scratching at your feet. When you look down, those cute
eyes are almost impossible to resist.



What is it about a dog's gaze that makes it so charming? A new study by
Japanese scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer, and it has
to do with something called the cuddle(
爱抚
)chemical.



The cuddle chemical has another, more scientific name: oxytocin.
Oxytocin is a substance in the blood that encourages bonding. Levels of
oxytocin increase, for example, when a mother feeds her newborn baby.
According
to
Nagasawa's
study,
the
same
is
true
when
we
look
deeply
into
the
eyes of a dog.



The
results
of
this
study
can
tell
us
a
lot
about
the
history
of
the
bond
between
humans
and
dogs.
It
all
started
somewhere
tens
of
thousands
of
years
ago. Scientists believe that wolves used to follow humans who were hunting
large animals. The wolves would eat the food left behind by the humans.



Humans realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt,
and eventually both species began to work together toward survival.



Over time, the wolves that interacted with the humans began to change.
They
became
more
loyal
to
their
human
partners.
The
wolves
and
humans
started
to
depend
on
each
other
and
bond
with
each
other.
These
changes
are
what
caused
some
of
the
wolves
to
turn
into
what
we
now
know
as
dogs,
a
new
specie^
evolved
to better survive in their environment.



This process depended a great deal on the bond humans formed with them.
And according to Nagasawa's study, this bond was formed with the help of
oxytocin, the cuddle chemical.



11. What do we know about oxytocin?



A. It regulates blood flow. B. It promotes bonding.



C. It is in the human gene. D. It is good for health.



12. When we look deeply into a dog's eyes, the levels of our oxytocin
____.



A. reduce over time B. go either up or down



C. are on the rise D. remain unchanged



13. At the beginning wolves followed humans to ____.



A. eat the food left by humans B. guard against large animals



C. take humans for food D. hunt large animals together



14. Over time some wolves turned into dogs ____.



A. due to their loyalty B. due to the changing environment



C. for better survival D. for better cooperation



15. What does Nagasawa9s study aim to do?



A. Explore the role of human-wolf partnership.



B. Show the characteristics of the cuddle chemical.



C. Explain the bond between humans and dogs.



D. Understand the evolution of species.

Passage Two



Red Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day
is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in
need in Africa and in the UK.



Comic Relief
was
started
in
1985
by
the scriptwriter Richard
Curtis.
He
wrote the famous films 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' and 'Notting Hill'.
Richard's idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe famine
in
Ethiopia*
It's
called
Red

Day
as
on
this
day
many
people
buy
a
plastic
red
nose
to
wear!
The
money
made
from
selling
red
noses
goes
to
the
charity.



Red
Nose
Day
takes
place
every
two
years
in
the
spring
and
is
now
so
well
established that many people consider it to be an unofficial. For example,
many schools have non-uniform days.



The slogan for the last RND was
‘
Do Something Funny for Money' and the
money that was collected helped to fund projects in the following areas,
treating malaria(
疟疾
), education, and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day
program raised
￡
million! Money- raising events take place all over the
country and many schools participate. People also donate money by post, in
banks, by phone using a credit card and online.



In the evening of Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV
channels. It shows on and on a selection of the events of the day, as well
as
lots
of
comic
sketches
and
reports
of
how
the
money
raised
will
be
spent.
People also upload videos of local charity events on YouTube and Facebook.



So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may
find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It's all for
a good cause.

I was born in England, to English parents. When I was two years old my
dad
got a new job
in
Poland.
Since
then
I
have lived in
four
other countries
around
the
world.
Although
I
have
a
British
passport
，
I
sometimes
don't
feel
very English at all!
