　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　A

　　Dulas is a computergenerated(计算机生成的) character created by Julia Borbolla，a Mexican child psychologist.It is one of several “emotional agents” Borbolla has invented that are being recognized in Mexico City as capable of gaining access to the inner lives of children.

　　Dulas，like all of these characters，has big eyes and radio antennas(天线)．The characters collectively go by the name Antenas because they all have antennas and come from a planet called Antenopolis.Dulas knows nothing about life on earth，not even what a mother or father is.Wearing rabbit slippers in hospital，he doesn't like to talk with adults－so children can trust his companionship.

　　Over the past five years，Borbolla's characters have been used to assist 2,000 children from 3 to 14 years old，and have been employed in three Mexico City hospitals and a center for disabilities in another city，Morelia.

　　Researchers have been using puppets(木偶) to help children express and process their feelings for decades.But Borbolla，who has been working with children for 30 years，has taken this kind of work a step further.

　　The children meet the characters in a room，without adults present；doctors monitor with cameras.They have to handle the information carefully.One principle of the work is that a doctor must not make it known that he knows something that was said to an Antenas character privately.This preserves the trust of the child's relationship with the character.

　　Borbolla originally got the idea to use a drawing of a cartoon character to communicate with children when she was working as a school psychologist in the 1980s.Years later，in private practice，she worked with a puppet maker to develop a software version.She spent six years improving the tool.

　　“The psychologists I spoke with said the tool creates an environment of trust and understanding that enables them to understand children's issues more quickly than they imagined possible，” said Borbolla.

　　To date，Antenas hasn't been carefully studied，and Borbolla is working with researchers to examine its effect.“I see how powerful it is，” she told me.“It can be used to get into the souls of children.”

　　【语篇解读】 本文报道了墨西哥一位心理学家的发明，她开发了一些卡通形象，用来了解孩子们内心世界的问题，效果显著。

　　1．According to the passage，Dulas ______.

　　A．knows a lot about life on earth

　　B．was developed by a Mexican child

　　C．likes chatting with doctors and patients

　　D．is a cartoon character created by a psychologist

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据第一段句首可知，Dulas是一位心理学家研发的卡通形象。

　　2．We learn from the passage that Borbolla ______.

　　A．hopes to study Antenas further

　　B．developed Antenas all on her own

　　C．spent sixteen years improving Antenas

　　D．started to create Antenas in the 1990s

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。根据最后一段Borbolla is working with researchers to examine its effect可知，Borbolla希望进一步研究她的这些卡通形象。]

　　3．When children meet the characters，______.

　　A．their parents should be present

　　B．their doctors have to stay with them

　　C．the characters will handle the information

　　D．doctors' involvement should be kept secret from them

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据第五段One principle of the work... an Antenas character privately这句话可知，孩子们与卡通形象见面时，他们不会知道有医生参与。这句的意思是：这项工作的一个原则是，医生绝对不能让孩子知道，他们了解孩子和Antenas之间的秘密谈话内容。]

　　4．The psychologists mentioned in Paragraph 7 think that ______.

　　A．Antenas is impractical

　　B．it is expensive to use Antenas

　　C．Antenas is helpful to children

　　D．it is difficult to control Antenas

　　答案　C　[推理判断题。根据第七段可知，那些心理学家对Antenas的效果表示肯定，认为通过Antenas可以更好地了解孩子们的内心世界。故选C。]

　　B

　　Next Halloween，a small vegetable that looks like a pumpkin may appear in a garden near you.The vegetable is a type of pepper that is called “Lil' Pumpkin.” It's very special because it has orange，pumpkin－like fruit.

　　You might think that all vegetables are grown to provide food to eat.But some vegetables are grown mainly for the lively color and holiday spirit that they bring to gardens.These are called “ornamentals(观赏性植物)．” Just like lights decorate a Christmas tree，they decorate a garden.

　　The peppers were bred(培育) by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists John Stommel and Robert Griesbach.Another pepper the scientists developed is called “Pepper Jack.” Because Pepper Jack has orange and black cone ­shaped(锥形的) fruit，it might remind you of the popular Halloween treat “candy corn.”

　　Stommel says that vegetable crops such as peppers were first widely grown in Europe in the 15th century.At that time，people liked these crops more because they looked pretty than because they provided food.

　　Back then，when a gardener grew plants for decoration and plants for food，the garden was called a “potager.” An example of this is the large gardens on the lawns(草坪) of castles and very large homes where kings and queens lived，One of those large royal homes was the French king's palace at Versailles during the 1600's.The palace is still there today，and people from all over the world still go there to visit and see the gardens.

　　Today，Stommel says using vegetables as decorations in gardens has become popular again.

　　So you might be wondering，if these peppers are for decoration，can people eat them? Yes，but the fruit from both of these peppers has a sharp taste (kind of like onions！)

　　These peppers are scheduled to become available in mid­2011.These pretty peppers can be grown in containers and also in garden beds.They grow best with plenty of light and warm temperatures，Stommel says.

　　【语篇解读】 本文是一篇资讯，介绍了科学家新培育出的两种观赏辣椒。

　　5．What does the passage mainly talk about?

　　A．Different kinds of peppers.

　　B．The history of peppers.

　　C．Peppers with the Halloween spirit.

　　D．Food for the Halloween festival.

　　答案　C　[主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了科学家新培育出的两种观赏辣椒，它们的颜色和形状与万圣节的标志性物品——南瓜和糖果玉米相似。故选C。]

　　6．What do we know about “Lil' Pumpkin” and “Pepper Jack”？

　　A．They are used to decorate Christmas trees.

　　B．They are grown mainly to provide food to eat.

　　C．Their fruits have different shapes.

　　D．Their fruits are the same color.

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据文章前三段相关信息可知，这两种辣椒的形状和颜色都不相同，它们主要不是用来吃的，也不是用来装饰圣诞树的，故只有C项正确。]

　　7．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refers to “______”．

　　A．these vegetables

　　B．these holidays

　　C．these lights

　　D．these scientists

　　答案　A　[代词指代题。分析前面的句子可知，they指代的是作为观赏性植物的“这些蔬菜”。]

　　8．According to the passage，a potager was ______.

　　A．the place where kings and queens lived

　　B．the garden in the French king's palace

　　C．a place providing vegetables for the royal homes

　　D．a garden with plants for decoration and for food

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。由第五段第一句Back then，when a gardener grew plants for decoration and plants for food，the garden was called a “potager.”可知 potager是指既种植食用植物又种植观赏性植物的花园。故选D。]
