A
Any dog’s love and loyalty can feel like a miracle. In a case, Mason, a one-year-old, may be the most amazing one on the earth.
The long-legged pup in North Smithfield, Alabama, was caught in a storm his family’s garage last spring. His family thought he would be safe there, but the storm broke the garage door and Mason disappeared.
Dozens of people died that day. Mason’s family was grateful just to be alive. But they were heartbroken at the thought that their sweet, playful companion had died. They combed the neighborhood, hoping by chance to find him, but Mason didn’t turn up. Three weeks after the disaster, Mason’s family were surprised to find Mason on the front door, so ecstatic to see his family. Where had Mason landed during the windstorm? What did he eat for those long weeks? How did he find his way back home?
There was no answer to those questions and no time to work it out. Mason was terribly thin and couldn’t stand properly. The family quickly sought help and learned their beloved dog had crawled home on broken front legs. “He was simply on his elbows(肘),” says Dr. Doster.
Doster had spent days reuniting pets with their owners and took an instant liking to the brave dog. He contacted Dr. William Lamb of Vulcan Park Animal Care in Birmingham, who volunteered to perform the needed surgery for free. Lamb inserted two metal plates and 17 screws(螺丝钉) in an operation that lasted more than three hours. Mason’s injuries were so significant that he required weeks of recovery to heal. By the time he returned home to his family in September, he was jumping around again. “There were no ill effects whatsoever, which is a miracle in itself,”Doster says.

Anger often makes us uncomfortable. When you find your anger uncomfortable to process, please let it go. But remember to create a healthy anger in your children is to practice creating a healthy anger in yourself. Once you're better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way, you'll be able to model a good style of anger for your kids.
Some kids deal with anger by creating a "false self': a child who is perfect for their parents. People who have developed a false self are often passive aggressive and seem shallow because they've hid away all the feelings with depth and character. Ho w do we keep kids from creating false selves We need to raise them in an e nvironment where it's safe to express feelings. Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger, you can teach your children why anger is a helpful emotion. When your kid expresses anger, help them examine what it is that has made them angry. Why did it make them angry How did it do that Then, you can teach them that while emotions are never wrong and are always valid, our expressions of our emotions are within our control. People who are afraid of their own anger will never learn how to listen to what their anger is trying to tell them. Instead of teaching our kids that their anger is wrong, that "happy families" are never angry, or that all feelings of anger lead to violence and fear, we can teach our children that anger is OK. Anger is natural, it is normal, and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way.
28. What is the main idea of the first paragraph
A. Anger makes us uncomfortable.
B. Anger is difficult to deal with.
C. Parents often lose their temper at home.
D. Parents should model a good anger style.
29. What would a child be like if he developed a "false self”
A. Polite and optimistic.
B. Perfect and helpful.
C. Negative and indirect.
D. Rude and dishonest.
30. What's the main purpose of the last 2 paragraphs
A. To give tips to create healthier anger.
B. To suggest ways to avoid anger.
C. To show the harm anger does to kids.
D. To stress the importance of expressing anger.
31. In which part of a website can we read the passage
A. Food& Recipes
B. School & Society
C. Life &Entertainment
D. Psychology & Health
D
Technology is making life easier for some dairy farmers. They use robotic systems to milk their cows. These systems are designed to reduce labor and increase milk production.
Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to the milking stations. Only one cow at a time can enter the station. Once inside，the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats，a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine. A few minutes later，the milking is completed. The gate is lifted. The cow leaves and the next cow enters. The robotic systems are designed to operate twenty four hours a day. Cows are milked on average about three times a day. Some are milked four to six times a day. The cows wear collars(颈圈) around their necks that identify them to the system. A computer keeps records on their eating and milking.
A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked. The system also measures the temperature and color of the freshly produced milk. Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests. Cows need two to four weeks to learn to use the robotic milking systems. Once trained，the cows no longer require human assistance，unless something goes wrong.
Professor Plaut heads the Department of Animal Science at Michigan State University. She believes the systems will attract especially the next generation of farmers who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm. Still，she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use. Doug Suhr has more than one hundred milking cows on his farm. Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system. A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot cost $175，000 and the second cost $150，000.Doug says the increase in milk production reaches a high of more than 6kg per cow per day.
32．Under robotic milking systems，______ decide(s) whether a cow is suitable to be milked.
A．the robotic arms B．the dairy farmers
C．the cows themselves D．a computer
33．When is human assistance needed during the milking?
A．When the cows enter the milking station every morning.
B．When a robotic arm connects a cow to the milking machine.
C．When the cows are trained to use the robotic milking system in the first two to four weeks.
D. When the temperature and color of the freshly produced milk are measured.
34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the last paragraph?
A．Since Doug got the robotic milking system，milk production on his farm has increased.
B．The price of milking machines decreases $25，000 every year.
C．Doug has the largest farm in southeast Minnesota.
D．There are four farms in southeast Minnesota that have robotic milking systems so far.
35. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．the price of robotic milking systems will greatly decrease
B．robotic milking systems are still too expensive to be popular
C．most farmers are too old to use robotic milking systems
D．robotic milking systems don't need to work at night

One activity that I would like do in the future is fishing. I know it’s certain
going to be a amazing experience. I can see a huge lake surrounded by big mountains.
I would have my own boat and travel on the lake. Until fishing, I will enjoy the
delightful sound of bird singing around me and the sunlight reflected on the smooth
water. The fish can be seen clearly in the water. I will catch a few in the fish just
to feel their skin and then I will free it. When the beautiful orange color of the
sunset cover the sky, it’s the time to go back home. I am looking forward to having
these moments.

参考范文：Dear Editor',
I'm a senior high school student named Li Hua. Now many students have iPads and think it's a fashion to use them. U sing an iPad, we can listen to music, download a lot of learning materials and read them on the screen. Apparently, it's helpful to our study, especially to our English listening.
Some students, however, bring their iPads to the classroom and listen to music without earphones, which makes the teacher and other students greatly annoyed. Some of them even waste precious time in class playing video games.
In my opinion, as students, we should make good use of iPads to help achieve academic success. The classroom is a place for students to study, and therefore concentration is awfully needed for us to learn our lessons. Furthermore, the school should make a rule to guide the students to use iPads in a proper way. Yours sincerely, Li Hua
