When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life, s he did what comes naturally. The four-year-
old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields an d, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of di rection. Then she ran along the edge of cliff(悬
崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.
Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard o f Cornwall, who turned up in seconds. Six volunteers slid dow n the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of findin g her alive after a 90-minute search.
Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.
For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would like his dog bark.
A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting d esperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student f rom Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.
The dog had initially been knocked unconscious（失去知觉的）
but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep wh ich had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Steve Tregear said, “It was a very dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added.
It was, as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle(奇迹)”.

Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has comple ted its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of sell ing the flying car within the next year. The vehicle-
named the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, whic h flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach ar ound 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-
gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On t he ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.
Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But do n’t e xpect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to co st $279,000. And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.
Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930 s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But M ann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.
Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Ad ministration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set
of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those pilots of larger planes Terrafugia says an owner would need t o pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able t o fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively e asy to meet.
28．What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．The basic data of the Transition B．The advanta ges of flying cars
C．The potential market for flying cars D．The desig ners of the Transition
29．Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many dri veways?
A．It causes traffic jams. B．It is difficult t o operate.
C．It is very expensive. D．It bums too much fuel.
30．What is the government’s attitude to the development of t he flying car?
A．Cautious B．Favorable C．Ambiguous D．Disapp roving
31．What is the best title for the text?
A．Flying Car at Auto Show B．The T
ransition’s Fist Flight
C．Pilots’ Dream Coming True D．Fl ying Car Closer to Reality
D
Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, li ke a nearby port or river. People settle in these places becaus e they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communicatio ns and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harb our at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its pop ulation grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canad a, was unmapped wilderness(荒
野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years lat er, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a populatio n of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travell ed over snow-
covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪
崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who ma
de it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got ric h. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their live s.
But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfort able. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. Bu t soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found . The city was crowded with disappointed people with no inter est in settling down, and when they heard there were new gol d discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as th ey had come. Today, people still come and go — to see wher e the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762. 32．What attracted the early settlers to New York City? A．Its business culture B．Its small populati on
C．Its geographical position D．Its favourable clima te
33．What do we know about those who first dug for gold in D awson?
A．Two-thirds of them stayed there.
B．One out of five people got rich.
C．Almost everyone gave up.
D．Half of them died.
34．What was the main reason for many people to leave Daw son?
A．They found the city too crowded.
B．They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.
C．They were unable to stand the winter.
D．They were short of food.
35．What is the text mainly about?
A．The rise and fall of a city
B．The gold rush in Canada
C．Journeys into the wilderness
D．Tourism in Dawson

Why Is Exercise Cool?
1. Exercise Strengthens Muscles
Did you ever do a push-
up or swing across the monkey bars at the playground? 36 By using your muscles to do powerful things, you can make
them stronger. For older teens and adults, this kind of workou t can make muscles bigger, too.
2. 37 。

Can you touch your toes easily without yelling ouch? Most kid s are pretty flexible, which means that they can bend and stret ch their bodies without much trouble. Being flexible is having “full range of motion”, which means you can move your arms a nd legs freely without feeling tightness or pain.
3. Exercise Keeps the Balance
38 Your body needs a certain amount of calories every d ay just to function, breathe, walk around, and do all the basic stuff. 39 If you’re not very active, your body won’t need as many calories. Whatever your calorie need is, if you eat enou gh to meet that need, your body weight will stay about the sa me. If you eat more calories than your body needs, it may be stored as extra fat.
4. Exercise Makes You Feel Good
It feels good to have a strong, flexible body that can do all the activities you enjoy—
like running, jumping, and playing with your friends. It’s also fu n to be good at something, like scoring a basket, hitting a hom e run, or perfecting a dive. But you may not know that exercisi ng can actually put you in a better mood. 40 It’s just anot
her reason why exercise is cool!
A. So do you want to do any aerobic (有氧
的) exercise right now?
B. Food gives your body fuel in the form of calories, which are a kind of energy.
C. When you exercise, your brain releases a chemical, which may make you feel happier.
D. Those are exercises that can build strength.
E. Exercise Makes You Flexible
F. Exercise Makes Your Heart Happy
G. But if you’re active, your body needs an extra measure of c alories or energy.

Yo u can find out more about your destination by surf the internet before you set out. You needn’t take too many cash.

Dear Wang Ping，
I'm glad to hear from you. You asked me about the difficulties you may meet with when you get here in UK. Now I’d like to te ll you something about it.
First, you may have the problem about the language you think you are well prepared. You may find it difficult to communicati on with the natives, because many of them have a strong acc ent. Besides, you may not get used to the western food here or even hate to have it. What’s more, you may feel lonely and miss your family and friends, especially in the very beginning. However, you needn’t worry about it. Several weeks later, you will get used to everything here and love the place, and I’ll als o try my best to help you when necessary.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
