【短文大意】本文主要介绍了养狗目的的变化。在西方的城市里散步，可以看到很多人遛狗。狗确实是世界上最有用、最忠实的动物，但人们养狗的目的已有所改变。过去人们养狗，旨在防护自己免受野兽袭击，后来又用狗打猎。如今城里人养狗以防抢劫，但更多的人以狗为伴。当孩子没有人一起玩的时候，狗是他最好的朋友；无子女的年轻夫妇与子女已长大成人的老人都视狗为子女。这就是人们养狗的主要原因，它已从旨在防身转变为以狗为友。 17.【答案与详解】A。细节题。文中明确提出“In the old days people used to train dogs to pro- tect themselves against attacks by other beasts.(过去人们养狗旨在保护自己不受其他野兽的攻击。)”。A项“For protection against other animals.”是原文的另一种说法，说明过去养狗的目的是“保护自己不受其他野兽的袭击”。
18.【答案与详解】D。细节题。答题关键部分是“the dogs would not eat what was caught with- out permission.(不得到主人允许，狗不会吃所捕的猎物。)”。这说明狗服从主人，所以能用来打猎。故D项为正确答案。

When my husband was promoted, we put our house up for sale. Three weeks later, it was still on the market. I became a busy housekeeper. Every room had to be kept tidy, and dishes had to be washed and put away when used. Then one day the doorbell rang unexpectedly at 8 a.m.. Sleepily, I open the door and saw our agent standing there with a couple from New York. “There had been no time to call,” he explained, “because the couple had to catch a plane home.”
The three people made their way past the dirty breakfast dishes on the kitchen table and into a bedroom with unmade beds. As I retreated into a bathroom to comb my hair, I heard the man say something to his wife. Then they both laughed.
Two days later, the agent phoned to tell me that the couple had bought the house. He repeated what the buyer had said when he handed over the check the following day: “That house has a
warm, lived-in feeling, just like ours.”
Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard. 11. Why did the speaker sell her house?
12. Why did the agent visit the speaker so early in the morning? 13. Why did the couple laugh in the speaker’s house? Passage Two
For many years, T-shirts were simple short-sleeved undershirts for men and boys. T-shirts used to be of one color—white. And since they were worn under shirts, they were generally not seen. Today the T-shirt has become fashionable. It can be seen everywhere and on everyone. Women and little children wear T-shirts as do teenagers, university students, and men from all walks of life. T-shirts are worn on the playground, at the beach or in town. They can also be worn for work. Yet T-shirts remain relatively inexpensive and long wearing, as well as easy to care for. Smart but comfortable and convenient to wear, they have become one of America’s newest ideas on fashion.
Although T-shirts are now available in a wide variety of bright materials and styles, the most popular kind is the traditional cotton T-shirts with a slogan or a picture printed on the front. A T-shirt may bear a single word, a popular phrase, and pictures of popular singers, of an advertisement. As T-shirts are becoming more and more popular, new designs are coming up all the time.
Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard. 14. What is the most popular kind of T-shirt?
15. Why do people like to wear T-shirts so much today? 16. What is being done to make T-shirts more attractive? Passage Three
When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West, you often see a lot of people walking with dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reasons why people keep a dog have changed. In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks by other beasts. And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dogs would not eat what was caught without permission. But now people in the city need not protect themselves against attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.
Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard. 17. According to the passage, what were dogs trained for in the past? 18. Why were dogs used for hunting?
19. What is the most important reason for people in the city to keep dogs now? 20. What is the main idea of this passage?
