Twenty-one years ago，my husband gave me Sam，an eight-week-old schnauzer（雪纳瑞犬），to help ease the loss of our daughter．Sam and I developed a very special bond over the next years．
At one point，my husband and I decided to move to a new home in New Jersey．Our neighbor，whose cat had recently had kittens，asked if we would like one．We were a little apprehensive about Sam's jealousy and how he would handle his turf（地盘）being invaded，but we decided to risk it．
We picked a little，gray，playful ball of Fur．She raced around chasing imaginary mice and squirrels and jumped from table to chair in the blink of an eye，so we named her Lightning．
At first，Sam and Lightning were very cautious with each other and kept their distance．But slowly，Lightning started following Sam - up the stairs，down the stairs，into the kitchen ．Later，when they slept，it was always together；when they ate，it was always next to each other．When I took either one out，the other was always waiting by the door when we returned．That was the way it was for years．
Then，without any warning，Sam was diagnosed as having a weak heart．I had no other choice but to have him put down．The pain was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to walk into our house alone．This time，there was no Sam for Lightning to greet and no way to explain why she would never see her friend again．
In the following days，Lightning seemed heart-broken．I could see the disappointment in her eyes whenever anyone opened the front door，or the hope whenever she heard a dog bark．One day as I walked into our living room，I happened to see Lightning was lying next to the sculptured replica（复制品）of Sam that we had bought a few years ago，one arm wrapped around the statue's neck，contentedly sleeping with her best friend．

Poetry is the artistic expression of the human thoughts and feelings in rhythmical and emotional language．Compared with prose （散文），it lays more stress on rhythm，imagery （意象），emotion，and imagination．As its language is rhythmical，its sound is highly musical．We may say，"No rhythm，no poetry"，no matter the rhythm of poetry is traditional as in metrical （格律的）style or "natural" as in free verse．
So the poet must write carefully and reflectively in order to find words that not only fulfills the demands of meter and rhyme，but also expresses the meaning in a manner that complements the imagery and tone of the rest of the poem．This careful use of language is the most
significant difference between ordinary prose and poetry．
The ordinary prose writer neatly builds an argument using words the way a mason （石匠）builds a house using bricks；the poet is an artisan who creates a fieldstone hearth （大卵石壁炉炉床）- each stone or each word is turned over，examined，and often laid aside until it can be placed where its shape，weight，and color will contribute to the strength and beauty of the whole．Prose，according to Samuel Taylor Coleridge，is "words in their best order"，and poetry is "the best words in their best order"．
The reader's chief delight in reading poetry comes from his response to its musical effect，which comes from many metrical patterns represented in conventional iambic （抑扬格）feet or from repetitions and parallel phrasing shown in free verse and from other elements of poetry．
8.What's the purpose of saying "No rhythm，no poetry" in paragraph 1？______
A. To show the importance of rhythm in poetry．
B. To show rhythm is the most important element．
C. To show there is no limit on the use of rhythm．
D. To show rhythm is more important than poetry．
9.What is the most important difference between ordinary prose and poetry？______
A. The degree of emotion．
B. The careful choice of words．
C. The delicate use of the metric style．
D. The demands of meter and rhyme．
10.Where is the reader's main joy in reading poetry？______
A. The experience of the poet's emotion．
B. The appreciation of the metrical pattern．
C. The reader's reaction to the musical effect．
D. The comprehension of the thoughts and feelings．
11.How is the text mainly developed？______
A. By definition．
B. By examples．
C. By quotation．
D. By comparison．
D
A Russian spacecraft traveling to the International Space Station Thursday had to make an emergency landing when a rocket engine failed to fire．It was the latest in a recent series of failures for the Russian space program，which is also used by the U．S．to carry its astronauts to the station．
United States astronaut Nick Hague and Russian astronaut Alexei Ovchinin landed safely about 20 kilometers from Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan．The city is about 450 kilometers from the Russia's Baikonur space center，which Russia operates through an agreement with the Republic of Kazakhstan．
Both the U．S．space agency NASA and Russia's Roscosmos reported that the two were quickly recovered from the landing area by rescue crews．A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin said，"Thank God the crew is alive" after they had landed safely．
About two minutes after launching，the three-stage Soyuz booster rocket suffered an unspecified failure of its second stage．Russia's TASS news agency said the capsule carrying the two men separated from the troubled rocket safely．This caused the capsule to drop very sharply into the Earth's atmosphere．Parachutes（降落伞）helped slow the returning capsule ．Search and rescue teams were sent to recover the crew．
Russia's RIA news agency reported that Russia has immediately put off all manned space
launches after the failure．Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin said he had ordered a state commission to carry out an investigation into what went wrong．He said Russia will share all relevant information with the U．S．
The TASS news agency said that the ISS crew has enough supplies and that the failed launch will not affect operations．
The U．S．and other nations have depended on Russia to carry astronauts to the ISS since the retirement of the Space Shuttle program in 2011．In coming years，American aerospace companies SpaceX，with its Dragon 2，and Boeing，with its Starliner，are expected to return to space．
12.What can be the best title of the text？______
A. The Rescue of Two Astronauts
B. The Launch of Russian Spacecraft
C. Cooperation between Russia and America
D. Emergency Landing in Failed Space Launch
13.What caused the failure of the launch？______
A. The problem of the engine．
B. The terrible weather．
C. The drop of the capsule．
D. The wrong operation．
14.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs？______
A. SpaceX is sure to go back to space soon．
B. America carried astronauts to the ISS by itself before 2011．
C. Now only Russia can carry astronauts to space．
D. the ISS crew lives a very good life in the space station．
15.What can we learn about the launch？______
A. The capsule landed safely in Dzhezkazgan，Russia．
B. Russia had never failed in the space launch before this failure．
C. The failed launch will have a serious effect on the operations．
D. At first the capsule dropped very rapidly into the Earth's atmosphere．
二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）
Rising through stages to realize ourselves Many modern people have the problem that they don't know who they are and what their purpose is (1) ．Once high school seniors graduate，they seem to lose their identity．They once studied hard．But after they stop working，they begin to lose their way．
In the theory of the Hierarchy of Needs （需求理论），Abraham Aslo，put forward a similar situation，which consists of the five levels of a person's need．The fifth and final level is self-realization，which is where our final achievement lies (2) ．
I think self-realization has three major aspects．The first stage is acceptance，the second stage is discovery and the last stage is perseverance．
Acceptance is the first stage．We should be reminded that we are all born unique，so we all have our own strengths and weaknesses．Only when we understand these，can we pursue them or change them (3) ．
Once we've accepted ourselves，we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be (4) ，but indeed we should live for ourselves．So before we start working towards a purpose，we should ask ourselves "Is this what we truly desire？" and "Is this going to change the situation we're in？
The last stage is perseverance (5) ．Those who can self-realize are people who focus on the things they want to change．
Through the three stages，we could gain recognition of ourselves．And by this point，whatever the things they want to our lives were like，we would be able to stand tall，
confident of ourselves．
A．It's nothing to a man of perseverance．
B．Only by acceptance of the past can we change it
C．This is especially common among college students
D．Many people tend to go along with social expectation
E．Being objective and yet tolerant is the key to acceptance
F．It is the process of knowing ourselves and finding a purpose
G．Exploring our potential isn't going to be done in a short time
16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.
E F.
F G. G
17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.
E F.
F G. G
18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.
E F.
F G. G
19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.

【解析】1．depression．考查名词．reducing是及物动词，后接名词作宾语．2．called．考查过去分词．a community singing group与call之间是动宾关系，用过去分词短语called Sing Your Heart Out作后置定语．
3．to examine．考查动词不定式．此处动词不定式表示目的，作目的状语．
4． who/that．考查定语从句．先行词a group of people在定语从句中作主语，用关系代词who/that．
5．weekly．考查形容词．singing workshops 是名词，要用形容词修饰．
6． an．考查冠词．part是可数名词，单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指，因essential 读音以发元音开头，用不定冠词an．
7． less．考查形容词比较级．根据句意：它帮助人们减轻压力．用形容词比较级．8． to．考查介词．contribute to意为"有助于"，是固定搭配．

42.【答案】This morning， I went to school by a bicycle as usual．
As I am listening to my
favorite music with a headphone on my head， I didn't notice a car parked on the roadside． I
scratched the car and left a scar on it． Think that I would have classes，
I left a note with his name and address to let the driver know what happened．
Lately in the afternoon， while
we were having a class meeting， our headmaster led in a stranger， that was the car owner ． He explained^ the class the whole story but praised me． My teacher and classmate were impressed and pride of my honesty．
proud
详解：
1．am改为was，考查时态，讲述已发生的事情，所以用一般过去时态．
2．parked改为parking，考查现在分词，car和park之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作后置定语．
3．Think改为Thinking，考查分词，句子主语和think之间是值得恭喜，所以用现在分词作状语．
4．his改为my，考查形容词性物主代词，指"我的名字"，所以用my放在名词前面．5．lately改为later，考查词义辨析，lately"最近"；later"晚些时候、后来"，指那天下午晚些时候，所以用later．
6．that改为who，考查非限制性定语从句，先行词为人，在非限制性定语从句中作主。
