三、阅读理解（20）
Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills （读写能力）With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence （自信心） , according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ).
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the children’s department.
Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children’s department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class.
The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.
36. What is mainly discussed in the text?
A. Children’s reading difficulties. B. Advantages of raising dogs.
C. Service in a public library. D. A special reading program.
37. Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think _______.
A. dogs are young children’s best friends
B. children can play with dogs while reading
C. dogs can provide encouragement for shy children
D. children and dogs understand each other
38. By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea”, the writer means the library_______.
A. uses dogs to attract children B. accepts the idea put forward by ITA
C. has opened a children's department D. has decided to train some dogs
39. A “pawgraphed” book is most probably _______.
A. a book used in Saturday classes B. a book written by the children
C. a prize for the children D. a gift from parents
Microsoft founder Bill Gates said that he planned to give away almost all of his vast fortune , largely to the cause of global health , during the course of his lifetime . With an estimated（估计）worth of more than $ 40 billion , according to Forbes , the project will be no small feat （功绩）for Gates . Having already provided the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $ 24 billion to address global health issues , Gates said that eventually his entire fortune will be put towards the cause except “a few percent left for the kids.”
So what has made the richest man in the world to channel his resources so heavily into one interest ? Gates believes that “the equality of opportunity” in which Americans take such pride needs to extend to other nations around the world . Improving the health of the populations , he says , has proven to be an essential method in helping poor countries to be financially successful . “National borders allow inequalities ,” said Gates : “We all need to take a more global view , rather than just saying my country is doing well . We have to step up these health issues , knowing how few resources are going into them .”
Gates said that both his parents set an example for him as a child . His father , William H. Gates , was the head of the local Planned Parenthood , and his mother , Mary , volunteered for the United Way . As he gathered his fortune , Gates knew he would eventually want to give back as well , but he didn’t expect to devote himself whole-heartedly to one project until he was about 60.
However , Gates , 47 , began to question his ability to wait that long . “It seemed there was a real time urgency,” Gates said . “I started to think , How many lives could I save before then ?”
40．Bill Gates believes that one important way of developing poor countries is .
A．to set up more foundations for them
B．to aid them with natural resources
C．to put more effort into the health issues in them
D．to help them take a more global view
41．It can be learned from the text that Bill Gates thinks .
A．Americans should care about people in other countries
B．Americans should treat fellow citizens well
C．Americans should devote themselves to certain projects
D．Americans can be world-famous by giving away vast fortune
42．Bill Gates gave away his vast fortune earlier than he had expected because of .
A．his weakening health condition B．his parents’ suggestions
C．his great success in business D．his concerns for suffering people
How might you drag a good writer’s work down to the level of a scribe （抄写员）? Try the spell-check button . A study at the University of Pittsburgh indicates spell-check soft-ware may level the playing field between people with differing levels of language skills , hampering （妨碍）the work of writers and editors who place too much trust in the software . In the study , 33 undergraduate students were asked to proofread（校对）a one-page business letter—half of them using Microsoft Word with red and green lines underlining potential errors（潜在错误）. The other half did it the old-fashioned way , using only their heads . Without grammar or spelling software , students with higher SAT scores made , on average , 5 errors , compared with 12.3 errors for students with lower scores . Using the software , students with higher scores reading the same page made , on average , 16 errors , compared with 17 errors for students with lower scores . Dennis Galletta , a professor of information systems at the Katz Business School , said spell-check software is so sophisticated that some have come to trust it too thoroughly . “It’s not a software problem , it’s a behavior problem,” he said . Microsoft technical specialist Tim Pash said grammar and spelling technology is meant to help writers and editors , not solve all their problems . The study found the software helped students find and correct errors in the letter , but in some cases they also changed phrases or sentences marked by the software as grammatically suspicious （可疑的）, even though they were correct .
43．The experiment is used to show us that .
A．spell-check software helps only those with low SAT scores
B．spell-check software can sometimes make things worse
C．all problems cannot be solved by spell-check software
D．those with higher SAT scores make fewer mistakes than those with low scores
44．What can be learned from the passage ?
A．33 students were divide into four different groups in the experiment .
B．Spell-check software can be of great help to writers and editors .
C．With the help of spell-check software those with lower SAT scores will make fewer mistakes .
D．Students often make more mistakes in writing if they trust spell-check software too much .
45．Which of the following best explains the meaning of the word “sophisticated” as it is used in the text ?
A．Easy . B．Complex . C．Simple . D．Advanced .
