1UnitUnit 2323 ConflictConflict.阅读理解(共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分)A AA failed plot to kill Barack Obama，uncovered by US federal agents recently，has reminded people of the ideas that some humans associate with simple numbers.Two white American Neo­Nazi racists(新纳粹种族主义者)had planned to kill 88 African Americans，before finally assassinating(暗杀) Obama.The number “88” is equated with “HH” ， initials(首字母) for the Nazi greeting, “Heil Hitler” “H” is the eighth letter of the alphabet.Many people were not familiar with the Neo­Nazi importance of 88，but associations attached to other numbers are more well­known，if not always believed.The number 13，for instance，is considered deeply unlucky.In the US，many buildings do not have a floor numbered 13.They instead label it 12A，or use the letter M，which is the 13th letter in the English alphabet.New York's John FKennedy International airport does not have a gate number 13.And the popular Irish flight carrier, Ryan Air, has banished(摒弃) row 13 from all its planes.Last year when Brussels Airline put 13 dots in their new logo，the flood of complaints was so vast that the airline was forced to change their “unlucky logo” and add an additional dot.The fear comes from a Bible story，which states that Judas Iscariot，the disciple(门徒)who betrayed(出卖) Jesus, was the 13th to sit at the table in the Last Supper.But the most fascinating fear of the number relates to Friday the 13th.It's a day of double bad luck.In the US，many people would not schedule a wedding for Friday the 13th.According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in the US，an estimated 17 to 21 million Americans are affected by a fear of this day.【语篇解读】 本文通过一个刺杀总统奥巴马未遂的谋杀，介绍了人与数字的联系。1From the first two paragraphs, we can know that _.Aa lot of Americans want to kill Barack ObamaBthe number 88 is equated with 13Cthere are still racists in the US2Dthe two white Americans had killed 88 African Americans before killing Barack Obama【解析】 细节理解题。由第二段可知在美国仍有新纳粹种族主义者。【答案】 C2When you go aboard the Ryan Air，you will probably find that _.Arow 13 is replaced with 12 ABthere is no gate 13Cpassengers complain there is 13 dots on its logoDnone of their planes have row 13【解析】 细节理解题。由第四段中的“And the popular Irish flight carrier，Ryan Air，has banished(摒弃) row 13 from all its planes.”可知 D 项正确。【答案】 D3If you are in the US，you will probably not _.Alive on the 13th floorBattend a wedding on Saturday the 14thCsee a floor numbered 3Dhave an M floor【解析】 细节理解题。由第四段可知 A 项正确。【答案】 A4From the passage，we can know that the Brussels Airline _.Adoesn't have row 13Bhas 14 dots on its logoChas no flight take off on FridaysDwas once stuck in a flood【解析】 细节理解题。由第五段可知 B 项正确。【答案】 BB BCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight.A recent research has found a new recipe for success.According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly.Two­thirds of the homes 3interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn't all sweetness and light.There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes.One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite.For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior.They are learning how to talk each other's language.It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk Dog ， and dogs can learn how to talk Cat What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence.They can learn to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected.Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers.If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，说明了狗和猫可以和平相处，它们相互学习、理解彼此的语言，通过这篇文章，人们也应该和平相处，积极打造和平世界。5Some cats and dogs may fight when _.Athey are cold to each otherBthey look away from each otherCthey

smell of her flowers perfumed the air with sweetness so easily that it seemed to lift his spirits.He had never experienced such wonder from the flowers of his own garden.“How much must I pay for your wonderful flowers？” he asked.“Take what you wish for.” “What return must I make for them？”he asked again.“Your gratitude is enough.” She said.So he filled his arms with flowers and hurried joyfully home.His wife and children also liked the remarkable flowers, for they, too, discovered that the sight of them was a delight and the smell of them refreshed the soul.5In order not to lose his treasure，the man planted the flowers in his garden.Sunlight and water kept them amazingly beautiful and they still performed their powerful magic.When his children came to play in the yard, the man cautioned them against carelessness and wild play in case they damage the flowers.But the flowers remained hardy and strong as long as there are enough sun and moisture to nourish them.As the family grew and more children came to play in the garden, the man was even more concerned about his remarkable flowers.He even built a high wall to protect them with the utmost care.Unfortunately，this_began_to_cause_consternation _among_the_family_members.If the children caused their father stress, he would refuse them access to the flowers.Later, he set up rules as to who could enter the garden and what they must do while they were there.He also established offices to determine accessibility.Eventually, it became necessary to have lawyers to defend, judges to weigh, guards to safeguard.The man's family, however, saw less and less of the flowers and experienced less and less of their magical power.In the meantime, many of them went out in search of the flower lady.Well, she was still out there, still giving away her amazing flowers.【语篇解读】 本文通过一个小故事告诉我们一个哲理：美的东西要与别人分享这样才能体现美的价值所在。9The family found that the smell of the flowers could _.Aremove their

them was a delight and the smell of them refreshed the soul.可知老人的家人们也喜爱那花，认为那花可以给人力量，故选 B。【答案】 B10In order to protect the flowers, the man _.Aasked the policemen to help him take care of the gardenBbuilt a high building to keep the children away from the garden6Cset up offices to decide, who can get close to the flowersDemployed lawyers, judges and guards toprotect the flowers【解析】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段：Later, he set up rules as to who could enter the garden and what they must do while they were there.He also established offices to determine accessibility.可知老人为了保护他的花，建立了一间办公室来决定谁有权看花，故选

to.CWhat the man did made the family members less interested in flowers.DWhat the man did made the family members panic.【解析】
