It indicates(=shows) the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm (节奏) of the sun.Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun’s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months. Even without daylight, the crab’s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.T.The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this they discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides (潮水). The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was caught!66.

Richard’s mother, Bicknell，said from her home in Hampshire，“It’s so much coincidence.Richard always carried a photograph of his father attached to a poem，which included the date of his disappearance.”“Now, it’s very strange because all they have found is Richard’s dinghy.We need to know this time what has happened one way or another.If you know at least you can go through the grieving process(悲痛的过程).”In November 1996，Mr. Smith’s father, Charlie，was sailing in the Tasmen sea between the Australian mainland and the island of Tasmen with his new wife.They lost radio contact with the shore and they, together with their yacht were never seen again，and their disappearance remains a mystery.

To get a sense of how big，various and magical Toronto is，the best place to start is the CN Tower，the tallest freestanding(无支撑物的)building in the world. From this point，visitors can get a bird'seye view of the city's ama zing scenery and unique geography.In addition to being an important center of culture，trade and communication in Canada，Toronto is also a major multiethnic city. It has a population of over 4.5 million and its citizens come from countries around the world and from all manner of ethnic backgrounds. Every day，in most places of the city，a hundred different languages can be heard on the streets，from Hindi to Greek to French.

Richard’s mother, Bicknell，said from her home in Hampshire，“It’s so much coincidence.Richard always carried a photograph of his father attached to a poem，which included the date of his disappearance.”“Now, it’s very strange because all they have found is Richard’s dinghy.We need to know this time what has happened one way or another.If you know at least you can go through the grieving process(悲痛的过程).”In November 1996，Mr. Smith’s father, Charlie，was sailing in the Tasmen sea between the Australian mainland and the island of Tasmen with his new wife.They lost radio contact with the shore and they, together with their yacht were never seen again，and their disappearance remains a mystery.

At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholder. She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett.”For nearl y 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley’s wife tried to strike Mumbet’s sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom --- the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founders of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.Mumbet’s tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: “She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had nosuperior or equal.”41. What do we know about Mumbet according to Paragraph 1?A. She was born a slave.B. She was a slaveholder.C. She had a famous sister.D. She was born into a rich family.42. Why did Mumbet run away from the Ashleys?A. She found an employer.B. She wanted to be a lawyer.C. She was hit and got angry.D. She had to take care of her sister.43. What did Mumbet learn from discussions about the new consititution?A. She should always obey her owners’ orders.B. How to apply for a job.C. How to be a good servant.D. She should be as free and equal as whites.44. What did Mumbet do after the trial?A. She chose to work for a lawyer.B. She found the NAACP.C. She continued to serve the Ashleys.D. She went to live with her grandchildren.45. What is the text mainly about?A. A story of a famous writer and spokesperson.B. The friendship between a lawyer and a slave.C. The life of a brave African American woman.D. A trial that shocked the whole world.BWalt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies.The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started off with the girl mourning her mother’s death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella’s food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence（因此）her name.In the original story, the king’s ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the prince placed soothing sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to be his bride. But when they passed the tomb of Cinderella’s mother, the birds called out to the prince,“Turn and peep, there’s blood in the shoe;the shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.”Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother. Theother then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. Only Cinderella’s foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella’s two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king’s riches, two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind.The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.46. What dose the underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refer to?A. Such wonderful things.B. Other well-loved characters.C. Old fables.D. Cartoon movies.47. How did Cinderella get her name?A. The Birds came up with it.B. It was given by Disney.C. It came from the word “ash”.D. She got it from her mother.48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story?A. Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.B. The ball was held to celebrate the prince’s wedding.C. Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.D. The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.49. The moral of the original story is that ____________.A. a wicked person cannot escape punishmentB. a devoted person certainly deservesrespectC. a well-behaved child earns a great rewardD. a dishonest child cannot getmother love50. What does the author think of the Disney version?A. Excellent.B. OrdinaryC. Dull.D. Ridiculous.CWant to improve your writing skills?

DLike many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthou seProject.I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.56. What do we know about the author?A. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge.B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer.C. He took pride in having contributed to the world.D. He felt honored to study English literature.57. According to the Paragraph 2, it is most likely that the author .A. discussed his decision with his family.B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary workC. attended special training to perform difficult tasksD. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends58. In his application for the volunteer job, the author .A. participated in many discussionsB. faced strong competition from other candidatesC. went through challenging survival testsD. wrote quite a few paper on voluntary work59. On arrival at the village, the author was .A. asked to lead a farming teamB. sent to teach in a schoolhouseC. received warmly by local villagersD. arranged to live in a separate house.60. What can we infer from the author’s experiences in Nigeria?A. He found some difficulty adapting to the local cultureB. He had learned to communicate in the local language.C. He had overcome all his weaknesses before he left for home.D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students.四、单词拼写(10×1)1.

A professor who conducts research over in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we can't see wh at we can't see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people to ssing (投掷) basketballs back and forth, three in white shirts and threein black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me. I'm dyslexic (患阅读困难症的), and the moment I saw that tape with theconfusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldn't be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. I became curious, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩) walked in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, beat her chest with her fist, and then went away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped, the professor asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those who'd scored the perfect 15. Then he asked, "And who saw the gorilla?"I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. He'd set us up, trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn't the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.Attention blindness is the fundamental organizing principle of the brain, and I believe that it presents us with a great opportunity. My take is different from that of many neuroscientists: Where they see the shortcomings of the individual, I sense an opportunity for cooperation. Fortunately, given the interactive(互动的) nature of most of our lives in the digital age, we have the tools to control our different forms of attention and take advantage of them.It's not easy to admit that everything we've learned about how to pay attention means that we've been missing everything else. It's not easy for us logical, intelligent, confident types to admit that the very key to our success —our ability to discover a problem and solve it, an achievement obtained in all those years in school and beyond — may be exactly what limits us. No one ever told us that our way of seeing left out everything else.51. Which of the following is true about the writer when the tape was played?A. Like everyone else, the writer was counting carefully.B. The writer had difficulty keeping track of the tossers' movements.C. The writer showed great curiosity about what the players were doing.D. The writer tried hard to stop her mind from wandering.52. What's the total number of basketball tosses by the players in white shirts in the video?A. 13.B. 14.C. 15.D. 30.53. Most of the people failed to notice the gorilla in the video because _____.A. they focused on the basketball tossing onlyB. they were trapped by the basketball playersC. they did not know what they were supposed to doD. they did not listen to the lecture carefully54. The word "take" (paragraph 5) most probably means _____.A. understandingB. impressionC. sceneD. preference55.In the writer's opinion, attention blindness ______.A. should be viewed as a shortcoming of the individualB. might be overcome if we can discover problems and solve themC. makes it possible for us to work together for a shared purposeD. helps us to become logical, intelligent and confident types of peopleCIn the fall of 1985, I was a brighteyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twentyone years later I amstill a brighteyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65.She was the first in our family to reach that goal.But one year after I started college, she developed cancer.I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her.It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children.In 1999, we adopted our first son.To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional.A year later came our second adopted boy.Then followed son No.3.In 2003, I g ave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8！Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo.Not surprising, I never did make it back to college fulltime.But I never gave up on the dream either.I had only one choice: to find a way.That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys.They often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina.It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just singleminded.It always struck me that when you're lo oking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal.Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day.It'sa process.Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.1．When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ________.A．a writer B．a teacher C．a judge D．a doctor2．Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A．She wanted to study by herself. B．She fell in love and got married. C．She suffered from a serious illness. D．She decided to look after her grandma. 3．What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A．She was busy yet happy with her family life.B．She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C．She wanted to remain a fulltime h ousewife.D．She was too confused to make a correct choice.4．What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A．Failure is the mother of success. B．Little by little, one goes far. C．Every coin has two sides. D．Well begun, half done.5．Which of the following can best describe the author?A．Caring and determined. B．Honest and responsible. C．Ambitious and sensitive. D．Innocent and singleminded.DWhat is funny? The short answer is: Who knows? The joke that causes a burst of laughter from one listener might be met with a puzzled look from another.In general, you should avoid jokes at any business or social gathering where there are more thantwo people in your conversational group. If there are only two people — and they consist of you andyour best friend — go ahead and tell it.Admittedly, a few people possess a perfect sense of timing, appropriateness, and joke delivery. You are probably not one of them. You might be quite funny and have many great jokes. Butthere's a place for jokes —over dinner with family, hiking with friends, but business or social affairswith colleagues and acquaintances(熟人) are not it. It takes a whole other level of joke-telling ability to put a joke into the more formal conversations.The best jokes come into the conversation so that by the time listeners realize a joke is in progress, the punchline that produces humour is being delivered — to their surprise and delight.Jokes don't translate well when you're in a group with mixed backgrounds: those whose firstlanguage is not English, those who might not understand a special term or an "in" expression, youngpeople who wouldn't catch a reference to some bit of culture familiar to older people — and viceversa(反之亦然).Never joke about another person in the group —about their name, habits, hometown, profession, appearance, or past. It's not a question of whether the joke is cheeryor appropriate. No one enjoysbeing singled out this way. When you are the subject of the joke, the laughter doesn't feel good no matter how hard you try to tell yourself they're not laughing at you. Because that's what it feels like.What do you say if you realize your joke upset someone? Apologize as briefly and as sincerely as you can, and hope that someone changes the subject. Try saying: "I'm sorry. I should have known better" or "I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking."What do you do if people don't get your joke or don't appear to find it as funny as you do? First, do not retell it, only louder this time, hoping the point of the joke will be seen. Second, don't try to push people to get it. People do not like people whose jokes they don't understand. They feel stupid and need to blame someone. If you want to leave with the goodwill of your listeners, say something to make them feel less foolish. You could say: "I don't know why I tell jokes when I'm so poor at it."The world needs laughter, and good humor is a success wherever it goes, so this caveat(告诫) about joke-telling is not meant to dampen high spirits or to advocate dull conversation. If you're a gifted story-teller and you know people love your jokes, go for it. We need your kind. The rest of us will save our jokes for family and close friends.56. According to the passage, it might be appropriate for you to tell a joke at abusiness or social gathering if ______.A. the joke is well chosenB. you have complete confidence in your listeners' sense of humorC. only you and your best friend are involved in the conversationD. the audience consists of your colleagues and acquaintances57.Why do some jokes fail to work?A. Because the punchline is too long to catch.B. Because the joke-teller uses wrong words and expressions.C. Because the joke-teller and listeners don't share the same background knowledge.D. Because the jokes are not properly translated into the listeners' native language.58. How will people feel when they are joked about?A. They will feel happy if the joke is a pleasant one.B. They will be upset no matter what kind of joke it is.C. They will enjoy the joke when realizing that people are not laughing at them.D. They will panic because it makes them the center of attention.59. When people do not understand a joke they hear, they tend to ______.A. believe it's the joke-teller's faultB. get someone to retell the jokeC. ask for explanationD. say something foolish60. Which of the following best describes the writer's opinion on joke-telling?A. Nobody knows what makes a joke funny.B. We should not tell jokes unless we are asked to do so.C. Joke-telling is a very complex thing.D. Jokes should be told only to friends and family members.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line.In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well-known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: ―I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.‖The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850. It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.41. What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1 ?A. He made good use of ideas from others.B. He produced the first car in the world.C. He knew how to improve auto parts.D. He invented the production line.42. Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?A. To show off his driving skills.B. To draw public attention.C. To learn about new technology.D. To raise money for his new company.43. What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text?A. Producing cars for average customers.B. Building racing cars of simple design.C. Designing more car models.D. Starting more companies.( B )The average American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV. In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months. Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children. For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it. Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous (荒谬的) sayings have appeared:*TV makes kids stupid.Many children watch more educational programs when they are pre-schoolers. When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.*TV makes kids violent. The real story is not so simple. Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的). But a study of over 5,000 children also finds that some positive programs make children kinder. The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.*Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight. An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active. The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食). A widespread habit for kids, and junk-food advertisements.*TV helps kids get to sleep. The opposite is true. The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap(小睡) patterns. Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.44. Which one is the advantage of educational TV programs?A. They will make children solve difficult problems better than others.B. they will improve children’s ability to get along with others.C. They are likely to make children more aggressive.D. They will make sure of children’s success in the future.45. Why are children spending much time watching TV likely to be fat?A. Watching TV makes children lazy and inactive.B. Children are attracted by the food advertisement on TV.C. Watching TV doesn’t burn up as much fat as doing sports.D. Children like to snack while watching TV.46. What influence does watching TV have on a child’s sleep?A. Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV.B. Children’s sleep time will be greatly reduced.C. It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping.D. It will make children sleep easier.47. What is the purpose of this text?A. To increase people’s knowledge of watching TV.B. To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV.C. To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children.D. To correct parents’ wrong ideas of television’s effect on children.( C )Why can’t some people even get an inch of what they dream of becoming? Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of surrounding goals for achieving their dreams.Setting goals is very significant part of accomplishing and positive actions. It is like scaling(攀爬) a 200 feet construction and marking in the early hours on what feet you would like to reach at this specific period.People who set goals literally generate a map of their goal settings in life, marking where they should start, where to pause, where to study a bit, and where and when to end. Once this map comes into being, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme(安排) of things and whether or not he is making some planning that will take him closer to his goals.By surrounding goals, people will know how they are doing and what they should be doing to get their goals or dreams in life. They will know if they can relax or if they have to double their efforts when they are falling short of what is expected of them.Goal surroundings means a person is proactive in dealing with challenges that may affect his plans. Being proactive means one is able to outline possible difficulties that may occur as well as the solutions to these difficulties. By doing this, a person is not easily scared or defeated when challenges occur because he has already prepared for them. He knows they can happen and he has prepared a solution or strategy when that time comes.Setting goals will enable people to track their progress in whatever hard work they set out to do. It will help people become more confident in themselves and more motivated to get their plans.48. The purpose of this passage is to _______________.A. explain the difference between the two goals.B. show the importance of surrounding goals.C. tell us how to set and achieve one’s goals.D. tell us setting goals makes one confident.49. The underlined word ―proactive‖ in paragraph 5 may have the closest meaning to ―________‖.A. positiveB. carefulC. braveD. prepared50. According to the author, one had better ___________ in making a goal in life.A. take an active attitudeB. create a scheme as a wholeC. consider the possible troublesD. check where he is frequently51. From the passage, we can reach the conclusion that___________________.A. achievements come to those who are well preparedB. everyone faces the situation which is scaring or threateningC. the higher one sets his goal, the more achievements he will haveD. success never comes to people who always blame( D )Like human beings, dogs may catch cold because of cold weather, wet conditions or can also get it from other sick dogs. If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes, coughs or sneezes(打喷嚏）, then it is quite probable that the dog has caught cold.A dog's cold can get over after a few days without treatment but it totally depends upon the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power （免疫力）to get rid of the cold naturally. Following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold.You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet. Healthy food can really do wonders. Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet（兽医）or is healthy for your pet. Increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins A, C and E.Keep your dog warm. The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house. Do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet. At home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets. This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast.Increase the fluid（流质）intake as it helps a lot. Water can be the best choice but you can also add broth （肉汤）in water which will give your dog strength. Warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections（呼吸道感染）.Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold. It makes the nasal（鼻的）passage wet, which helps proper breathing. Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15 minutes. Do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering.These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold. However, if you are not able to find any improvement in its health, then turn to the vet for help immediately. Take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications（并发症）.52．From the first paragraph we know about __________.A．the difficulty in keeping a dog as a petB．characteristics of sick dogsC．the similarities between dogs and human beingsD．causes and symptoms（症状）of cold in dogs53．When your dog catches cold, you should feed it on _______.A．its favorite food B．the suggested food by the vetC．some meat and water D．food rich in vitamin B54．When a dog catches cold, it is wrong to ________.A．keep it inside during cold and wet weather B．leave it inside the bathroom full of steam C．let it eat too much solid food D．keep it sleeping on rugs at home55．It can be learnt from the text that _________.A．a dog’s cold can always disappear naturallyB．it’s quite easy to make a sick dog recover from coldC．treating a dog’s cold sometimes needs a vet’s helpD．cold in dogs won’t spread between each other.( E )The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has becom e a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter ―i‖ –-- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2008. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called ―iTeddy‖. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name ―i‖.In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.Most ―i‖ products are targeted at （针对）young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s ―i‖, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter ―i‖. Why not use ―a‖, ―b‖, or ―c‖ instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, ―i‖ works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses ―i‖, no one knows whether it m eans Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. ―Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition（定义）,‖ he says.―However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .‖ad ds Thorne.Clearly the letter ―i‖ also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with ―Google‖ and ―blog‖, readers of BBC Magazines voted ―i‖ as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with ―2000‖ in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.56. People use iPlayer to __________.A. listen to musicB. make a callC. watch TV programs onlineD. read newspapers57. We can infer that the Independent’s ―i‖ is designed for _________.A. young readersB. old readersC. fashionable womenD. engineers58. The underlined word ―ambiguous‖ means ―__________‖.A. popularB. uncertainC. clearD. unique59. Nowadays, the ―i‖ term often reminds people of the products which are __________.A. portableB. environmentally friendlyC. advancedD. recyclable60. The writer suggests that __________.A. ―i‖ products are often of hig h qualityB. iTeddy is alive bearC. the letter ―b‖ replaces letter ―i‖ to name the productsD. the popularity of ―i‖ products may not last long四. 单词拼写：（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）1.

There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. "Come on!" My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. "You'll feel great."Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I'm not alone in my opinion.First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding (追击) ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn't my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, "I love being out there with just my thoughts" Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn't just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn't fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?I don't jog any more, and I don't think I ever will. I'm walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I'm getting exercise, and I'm enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I've found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.41. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer's neighborhood _____.A. jogging became very popularB. people jogged only during the daytimeC. Alex organized an army of joggersD. jogging provided a chance to get together42. What was the writer's attitude towards jogging in the beginning?A. He felt it was worth a try.B. He was very fond of it.C. He was strongly against it.D. He thought it must be painful.43. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?A. He disliked doing exercise outside.B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.D. He was worried about being left alone.44. From the writer's experience, we can conclude that _____.A. not everyone enjoys joggingB. he is the only person who hates joggingC. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fitD. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport.BAn Italian couple are to become the world's oldest divorcees, after the 99 - year –old husband found that his 96 - year - old wife had an affair(婚外情)in the 1940s．The Italian man, called by lawyers in the case as Antonio C, was looking through an old drawer when he made the discovery a few days before Christmas．In spite of the time that had passed since the affair, he was so upset that he immediately asked his wife of 77years, named as Rosa C, whether it was true, and demanded a divorce．Stricken by the guilt, she reportedly admitted everything but was unable to persuade her husband to reconsider his decision, though her children also did much more work．She wrote the letters to her lover during a secret affair in the 1940s, according to court papers released in Rome this week, which made people know the truth．The couple are now preparing to split; though the marriage they built has lasted over nearly eight decades－they have five children, a dozen grandchildren and one great-grand child．The discovery of the letters was the final problem for their marriage which had already run into difficulty－10 years ago the husband briefly left their house in Rome and moved in with one of his sons, only to return a few weeks later．The Italian thought the fierce split resulted from the couple's southern blood 一he is originally from Olbia in Sardinia: while his wife was born in Naples．The couple met during the 1930s when Antonio served as a young officer．The case appears to set a new record, at least for the age of the oldest figures –the previous oldest couple to divorce were Bertie and Jessie Wood, both aged 98, from the UK．That pair ended their 36-year marriage in 2009 when they were both two years away from their l00th birthdays．They got married in Elstree, Hertfordshire, in 1972, having both ended previous marriages, before moving to Falmouth, Cornwall four years later．45.

celebrities．More than 20 per cent surveyed admitted that they regularly dream about their boss．One in three dreams about work when they are stressed in their job and a quarter stated that they dream about a colleague if there was a conflict with them earlier that day．Of the 2,000 people surveyed，20 per cent dreamed more if they were under pressure or stressed．The research found that the average person dreams most nights，with only 12 per cent saying they never dream．However, dreams often leave people confused，with 52 per cent saying they do not make sense and 60 per cent wishing they could know what they mean．Commenting on the survey carried out by One Poll for Premier Inn hotels，dreams expert Davina MacKail said：“Whether we are asleep or awake．a problem with a colleague or stress at work can really affect us．More than hal f of the nation stated that their dreams don’t make sense so I have worked with Premier Inn to make a Dream Dictionary to help dreamers to understand why they dream ,what they do and what those dreams mean．”A spokesman for Premier Inn said：“It is really i mportant to try to unwind after a hard day at work but that is easier said than done if something is
