His silence about his feelings and thoughts made him mysterious and hard to see through. You could never break his hard shell and get to know him, And he seemed towant to stay that way too.But a year ago when my relationship with my wife and career took a hit, I needed my dad to pull back the curtain so I could see him as real and accessible. I was facing serious problems and I wanted toknow whether he had faced them before and how he had found his way, because I felt like I had lostmine. In desperation, it occurred to me that sending an email might be the key, so I wrote him one,telling him about my regrets and fears, and I asked him to answer, if he felt like it.Two weeks later, it showed up in my inbox: a much-thought, three-page letter. Dad, a 68-year-old retired technologist and grandfather of four, had carefully considered my message, and crafted aresponse. He mentioned his lost love, the foolish mistake he made in career and the stupid pride he hadbetween him and his parents. He comforted me that “life will still find its right track despite many of itstwists and turns.”I closed the email and started to cry, because I wished I had opened up earlier but was grateful itwasn’t too late. I cried because at 33, in the midst of my own struggles, his letter instantly put me atease. And I cried because in the end, it was so simple: I just had to hit “Send.”We’ve since had many email exchanges. This increasing communication opened a door into his world. My problems haven’t been magically solved, but getting to know my dad better has made thetough stuff more manageable and life sweeter. It’s hard to talk to dad sometimes, but I’m glad I found away.24.

Which of the following is NOT true?A. I wished I could have consulted him earlier.B. I was moved when reading the email.C. The email contained much information.D. My dad’s email was quickly written.CFarmers use different kinds of soil conservation methods to protect their land from damage by farming and the forces of nature. One important form of soil conservation is the use of windbreaks. Windbreaks are barriers formed by trees and other plants with many leaves. Farmers plant them inlines around their fields. Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the windfrom destroying or damaging crops. They are very important for growing grains, such as wheat. There have been studies done on windbreaks in parts of West Africa. It is found that grain harvests can be 20% higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without such protection. However, windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through. If the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely, then violent air movements will take place close to theground. These movements will lift soil into the air where it will be blown away. For this reason, awindbreak is best if it has only 60% to 80% of the trees and plants needed to form a solid line. An easy role to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to ten times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreaks. There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should belarge trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees and other plants with leaves. Locallygrown trees and plants are best for windbreaks.英语试卷7/12 英语试卷8/12Windbreaks can protect land and crops from the wind. They can also provide wood products. These include wood for fuel and longer pieces for making fences.28. If the wind is stopped completely, what will happen?A. The wind will become stronger.B. All the wind will be kept out.C. Some trees will be pulled up.D. Some soil will be blown away.29. If the trees in the windbreak are 20 meters high, the area being protected is ___________.A. 2000 metersB. 200 metersC. 20 metersD. 2 meters30. We can learn from the text that ____________.A. windbreaks are popular in AfricaB. only trees can be planted in a windbreakC. windbreaks help to produce better harvestsD. the best way to protect soil is building windbreaks31. The author develops the passage by the following means EXCEPT ____________.A. following time orderB. making comparisonC. giving examplesD. listing statisticsDScience can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets canhelp lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness andspread all-round good cheer.Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stresslevels and blood pressure in people – half of them pet owners – while they performed 5 minutes ofmental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects (受试者) completed the tasks alone, witha husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animalfriends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. Withpets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may alsohave an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of theirbody weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their bodyweight. Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got moreexercise---mostly with their dogs---and found it worth doing.32. What does the text mainly discuss?A. Pet's value in medical research.B. How pets help people calm down.C. People's opinions of keeping pets.D. What pets bring to their owners.33. We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if________.A. he has a pet companionB. he has less stress of workC. he often does mental arithmeticD. he is taken care of by his family34. According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?A. They become more patient.B. They are less nervous.C. They have lower blood pressure.D. They are in higher spirits.35. The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that_________.A. people without dogs found the program unhelpfulB. people with dogs did more exerciseC. dogs liked exercise much more than people didD. dogs lost the same weight as people did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。
