　　Music is a very important part of our lives. Music is for dancing, drinking, eating, loving, and thinking. Some songs remind us of our childhood or youth.

　　“Children should not be left unsupervised(无人监督的)to play with a dog. ”say experts in this week’s British Medical Journal. Their advice is part of a review aimed at doctors who deal with dog bites.

　　“Dog bites and maulings are a worldwide problem, particularly in children. ”write Marina Morgan and John Palmer. Every year 250, 000 people who have been bitten by dogs attend minor injuries and emergency units in the United Kingdom, and half of all children are reportedly bitten by dogs at some time, boys more than girls.

　　Accurate death figures are difficult to obtain, but in the past five years, two to three cases a year have made news headlines.

　　Based on the latest medical evidence, they advise doctors how to examine and treat a patient presenting with a dog bite. They discuss the risk of infection and when to refer to specialist care. For travelers bitten abroad, they suggest assessing the risk of rabies(狂犬病).

　　In terms of prevention, they suggest that children should be taught to treat dogs with respect, avoid direct eye contact, and not tease them. They should be taught not to approach an unfamiliar dog; play with any dog unless under close supervision; run or scream in the presence of a dog; pet a dog without first letting it sniff you; or disturb a dog that is eating, sleeping, or caring for puppies.

　　“Dog owners also need to change their behavior”, says Rachel Besser, a children’s doctor and lifetime dog owner, in an article.

　　“It is clear that not all dog owners appreciate that children should not be left unsupervised with a dog”, she says. Just as some parents are obliged to take parenting classes, she would like to see compulsive classes for expectant dog owners to teach them about the responsibilities of dog ownership. Educational programs are also needed to teach children about some precautionary behaviors around dogs.

　　Finally, she would like to see vets advising dog owners about bite prevention, and doctors promoting bite prevention when treating patients who have been bitten by dogs.

　　【文章大意】狗咬人, 尤其是狗咬小孩的现象尤其需要引起关注, 为此, 需要采取一定的措施。

　　1. Dog biting studied by the experts is a problem　.

　　A. doctors dealing with dog bites should pay attention to

　　B. happening only to a few children of the world

　　C. only boys may meet with

　　D. about which experts get accurate statistics from the news headlines

　　【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第一段“Their advice is part of a review aimed at doctors who deal with dog bites. ”可知, 专家所研究的狗咬人的问题也应该是相关医生应给予重视的问题, 故答案选A项。

　　. The underlined word“they”in Paragraph 4 refers to“　”.

　　A. doctors B. parents

　　C. experts

　　D. dog owners

　　【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据“Based on the latest medical evidence”再结合第一段专家的讲话可推断, 他们是指研究狗咬人这一问题的专家们, 故选C项。

　　. What are Rachel Besser’s words mainly about?

　　A. All the dog owners would like children not to be left unsupervised with a dog.

　　B. All the dog owners have a correct behavior toward dogs.

　　C. Not all dog owners appreciate that children should be left with dogs under supervision.

　　D. Not all dog owners should attend classes about the responsibilities of dog ownership.

　　【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第七段“It is clear that not all dog owners appreciate that children should not be left unsupervised with a dog”可知, 雷切尔医生认为, 并非所有的狗的主人都认为孩子们和狗在一起的时候要有大人的照看。由此判断选C项。

　　4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Dogs, Dangerous To Children

　　B. Children Should Know Behaviors Around Dogs

　　C. Doctors, Treat Dog Bites Correctly

　　D. Never Leave Children Unsupervised With Dogs

　　【解析】选D。主旨大意题。狗咬人, 尤其是狗咬小孩的现象比较严重, 那么如何避免狗咬小孩呢? 这才是本文的写作重点, 而只有D项更能说明此问题, 故正确答案选D项。阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。体裁：说明文　话题：能源安全　词数：319　时间：5′

　　Nuclear power's danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.

　　Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses.It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us.There are other things like that.For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver.Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector.But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.

　　At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs.But even the lowest levels can do serious damage.There is no level of radiation that is completely safe.If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious.This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones.But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble.They can grow into cancer.Sometimes this does not show up for many years.

　　This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation.Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred.A person can be irradiated(辐射)and feel fine, then die for cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result.Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.

　　Radiation can hurt us.We must know the truth.

　　【语篇解读】　核能源对健康、安全、甚至是生命本身的危害都能用一个词来概括：辐射。
