My husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year.Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month.We were busy through those hot summer months，driving between visits.Our services were strictly held at the pet owner's home.It was almost too busy for the two of us，but we were making good money!
We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meeting before the owner leaves.
One day，we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave.We met the family，filled in a form，and spent some time with their dog，Hercules.He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue.The family laughed as he did this，showing us that he was very loving.
Two days later I appeared at the house，alone.I came up to Hercules and said hello happily.I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made.Meanwhile，he was so lovely sitting beside.I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners，a usual service.After the light and “click” sound went off，Hercules rushed at me.I didn't know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood.I ran out and did the only thing—calling my husband.
Then I went to neighbors for help.My husband arrived after ten minutes.The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen(圈)．Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.
I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital.The nurses quickly moved me to a room.I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner，“Am I going to die？” He replied，“Finally.”

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Paddling (涉水；划水）out to catch the next wave at a competition in Christchurch, New Zealand, James Tuhikarama had a heart attack, which knocked him off his surfboard (冲浪板).He almost choked to death in the water, lost consciousness, and was soon floating facedown in the ocean.
For a few moments, no one noticed as he drifted away from the main competition area. About that time, Hira Edmonds, 25, a lifeguard and a senior instructor for a surf-safety company, was teaching 14 other lifeguards the finer points of emergency rescue on the second floor of a building overlooking New Brighton beach. Edmonds had watched dozens of surfers ride the waves that day. As he glanced out of the window, he saw someone in a wet suit facedown in the water. "It doesn't take much to realize someone's in trouble," says Edmonds. "Lifeguards are never
really off duty." Edmonds called the team, grabbed first aid equipment, and rushed down to the water. The lifeguards dragged Tuhikarama, 47 and a father of two, to the beach. More than a dozen rescuers took turns pumping oxygen and pressing his chest to start his breathing again. For nearly an hour—far longer than a single lifeguard would have been able to continue the lifesaving technique—the team continued all these. An ambulance finally arrived and took Tuhikarama to the hospital, where he spent a week unconscious in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) while his brain and heart healed.
A month after he recovered, Tuhikarama reunited with six of the teenage lifeguards who saved him. "Being spotted by a group of lifeguards was the only thing that saved me," he says. "I've been given a second chance."
56. What was James Tuhikarama doing when he had a heart attack?
A. Surfing the internet.
B. Taking part in a competition.
C. Paddling a boat in the ocean.

A. James called for help before he drifted away.
B. James had two sons watching him on the beach then.
C. No one was willing to help James except the lifeguards.
D. James met the lifeguards after he came out of hospital.
58. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Lifeguards are always off duty.
B. James didn't know who saved his life.
C. It took James several days to come back to life.
D. Hira was learning to rescue lives when he spotted James.

【2013界调研试题】
Nowadays, there is a heated debate on whether pollutants should be cleaned in the air. Cleaning up the air, while good for our lungs, could make global warming worse. And the pollutants still go up around the air, along with carbon dioxide.
These pollutants are called aerosols (气溶粒) and they include soot as well as mixtures of nitrogen(氮) and sulfur(硫) and other stuff into the air. Natalie Mahowald, a climate researcher at Cornell University, says so far, scientists have mostly tried to understand what those aerosols do while they're actually in the air.
"There are so many different kinds of aerosols," she says. "Some warm and some cool. But in fact, humans are giving out a lot of extra aerosols, and they tend to cool for the most part."
The aerosols reflect sunlight back into space, or keep us cool. But it turns out that's not all they do. These aerosols also influence how much carbon dioxide gets drawn out of the air by plants on land and in the sea.
"They can add nutrients, for example, to the oceans or to the land," Mahowald says. "But also while they're in the atmosphere they can change the climate, and thus that also can influence the amount of carbon, the land or the ocean can take up. So there are quite a few different ways that aerosols can act on each other."
Mahowald's results suggest that reducing those pollutants could be an even bigger problem than realized, when you consider that aerosols help remove carbon dioxide from the air by encouraging plant growth. Hard numbers on this effect are highly uncertain at the moment, but this could turn out to be quite significant.
And studying it is not easy because the effects aren't well understood. For example, nitrogen can be a fertilizer (肥料), but it can stop plant growing when nitrogen comes out of the air in acid form.
Right now it seems like we're much more likely to clean up aerosol pollution, while increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. So scientists, unfortunately, may have a chance to see whether this experiment on our planet should continue or not.
36. From Paragraph 2, we know that .
A. scientists have been aware of how aerosols work
B. Natalie Mahowald is an expert in climate
C. cleaning up the air is so popular
D. pollutants are under control so far
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。

由第二段第二句Natalie Mahowald的同位语a climate researcher at Cornell University可知Natalie Mahowald是一个气候专家，故选B。

37. What is Natalie Mahowald's opinion on those aerosols?
A. Aerosols can influence each other in various ways.
B. All the aerosols will cool the earth.
C. Aerosols can add nutrients to human beings.
D. Any kind of aerosols will warm the earth.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。

由第三段Some warm and some cool得知，BD选项错误, 与Some不符。

从第五段的to the oceans，得知C也不对。

由第五段最后一句aerosols can act on each other气溶粒可以以不同的方式相互影响，故选A。

38. Why is it important for scientists to get accurate numbers according to the passage?
A. Scientists have a chance to research them.
B. They can bring scientists much more benefit.
C. Scientists can protect the earth from being polluted
D. They can help scientists understand the effects better.
【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。

从第六段最后一句和第七段开头句可推出D正确。

其他选项要么范围太大要么太小，不够全面。

气溶粒的影响，故选D。

【2014高考英语调研试题】B
Jiang Zhongjie, 19, a second-year student majoring in biology at Xiamen University’ looks at job websites almost every day. As summer vacation approaches, he can't decide which internship (实习) position would benefit him.
"I think it is hard to know what would be a meaningful intern job,” he said. “Most of the time, the positions on offer are low p aid, boring jobs, such as sales promotion," said Jiang.
Last month, during an education forum, Huang Guitian, assistant to the president of Peking University, called for a halt to the internships of lower quality, regarding them as “dull and meaningless, a ffecting students' academic performance".
Huang conducted a mini survey, showing “80 percent of students merely do odd (零散的) jobs on internship".
But employers and students may have different attitudes. According to a survey of 116 Beijing and Shanghai-based companies by ，a leading human resource services site, nearly 60 percent said they still valued applicants’ hands-on experience most.
Zhang Jianhong, HR director in Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd agreed with this idea and believes that internship even goes beyond gaining experience. "An internship actually offers a great chance for students to get an inside glimpse of a company, an industry and a particular occupation," he said.
He says it can help interns discover whether the career they are considering is suitable for them. And if students are aware of which industry they would like to enter, Zhang suggests that they select an internship in a relevant field, with the potential to turn into a formal job offer.
60. What does the word “halt" in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Stop.
B. Beginning.
C. Progress.
D. Delay.
61. What does Jiang Zhongjie think of intern jobs?
A. They are meaningful.
B. They are not exciting.
C. The pay lives up to his expectations.
D. Internship improves students' learning abilities.
62. We may learn from the text that ________.
A. all the people have the same attitude towards internship
B. less and less companies think highly of applicants' working experience
C. Zhang Jianhong believes that an internship benefits students in some way
D. the students can't change their career once they select an internship in some field
63. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. No Internship, No Job
B. Internship. Good or Bad
C. Internship Helps Find a Job
D. Where to Find an Intern Job
B篇：
【语篇解读】本文是一篇有关大学生毕业实习的报道。

不同的人对于实习
有着不同的观点，褒贬不一。

60.A 词义猜词题。

【试题解析】根据第三段“lower quality”,“dull and meaningless,
affecting students’ academic performance…”等
可知，此处是呼吁停止实习。

61.B 推理判断题。

【试题解析】通过第二段话可知。

62.C 推理判断题。

【试题解析】从文章倒数第二段话可知。

63.B 主旨大意题。

【试题解析】人们对实习的评价褒贬不一，态度各异。

因此，选B比较符
合。
