But the truth is that some of them have instincts, and besides this, I am sure they can feel certain things we humans cannot. A personal experience showed me this.Some years ago, I had a dog named Howard. From the time when he was a puppy, he was timid, so we named him Howard, sounding like “coward”! He was especially afraid of thunderstorms. At the first flash of lightning or crash of thunder, he would run whining into his house and hide under a table.I often went for a walk with Howard. Once, as we were walking along a road, it began to rain. I quickly ran tocaught my trousers in his teeth and tried to pull me away. At first I was puzzled and a little angry at his behavior. But I decided to humor him and walked away from the shelter into the rain and started to go home.When I was about two hundred metres from the shelter, there came a flash of lightning and soon after, there was thunder which nearly deafened me. Howard stopped walking and began whining. Thinking he was afraid, I bent to pick him up. As I straightened up, I glanced at the bus shelter we had just left. I was shocked to see that two of the poles were bent and the roof was lying on the ground, broken. The shelter had been struck by the bolt of lightning!21. The reason why the author was puzzled and angry with the dog was that .A. Howard had a strange behaviorB. Howard should be afraid of the metal polesC.

His body, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it pile up. One morning, I shuffled downstairs and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling(铲)my walk. I dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room. And back up stairs so those good people would not see me. I was embarrassed. My first thought was, how would I ever repay them? I didn’t have the strength to brush my hair let alone shovel someone’s walk.Before John’s death, I took pride in the fact that I rarely asked for help or favors, I defined myself by my competence and independence. So who was I if I was no longer capable and busy? How could I respect myself if all I did was sit on the couch every day and watch the snowfall?Learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasn't easy. Friends cooked for me and l cried because I couldn't even help them set the table. “I'm not usually this lazy,” I wept. Finally, my friend Kathy sat down with me and said, "Mary, cooking for you is not a burden. I love you and I want to do it. It makes me feel good to be able to do something for you. ”Over and over, I heard similar emotions from the people who supported me during those dark days. One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully open to your sorrow may be the hardest work you will ever do.”I am not the person I once was, but in many ways I have changed for the better. My heart is now filled with thanks for people around me. I have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.28. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The writer’s friend was unwilling to cook for her.B. The writer had been busy with her life before.C. The writer recovered from her sorrow quickly with his friend‘s help.D. The day her husband died, it was snowing heavily.29. The underlined word “shuffled” in Paragraph 1 probably means ___________.A. stepped steadilyB. walked slowlyC. ran swiftlyD. fell sadly30. We can infer from the passage that ____________.A. the writer found her husband immediately he fell off the roofB. the writer became strong-willed immediately after John's deathC. the people around the writer were friendly and supported herD. before John’s death, the writer never asked others for help31. The writer wrote the passage to ___________.A. share her sad story with usB. express her guilty conscience to the people who helped herC. show her thanks to the people who love and support herD. tell us the changes she has made because of her hu sband’s deathDCHICAGO(Reuters)-Smoking not only can wrinkle(皱纹)the face and turn it yellow—it can do the same to the whole body, researchers reported on Monday.The study, published in the Archives of Dermatology, shows that smoking affects the skin all over the body-even skin protected from the sun.“We examined non-facial skin that was protected from the sun, and found that the total number of packs, ofperson experienced, ”Dr. Yolanda, who led the study, said in a statement.“In participants older than 65 years, smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokers. Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45 to 65 years. ” Yolanda’s team added in their report.The researchers tested 82 people, smokers and nonsmokers, taking pictures of the inner right arms. They ranged, in age from 22 to 91 and half were smokers. In dependent judges decided how wrinkled each person’s skin was.When skin is exposed to sunlight, especially the face, it becomes coarse(粗糙的). Wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint, Yolanda's team wrote.Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking led to premature(过早的)skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles, the study said, but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light.The report did not discuss die mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke, among other things, causes blood vessels(血管)beneath the skin to constrict(紧缩), reducing blood supply to the skin.Smoking can also damage the connective tissue(组织)that supports both die skin and the internal organs.32. The best title for this passage would be ______________.A. The danger of smokingB. Smoking causes skin agingC. Quit smoking for healthD. A survey of smokers33. According to the passage, how wrinkled a person’s skin is doesn’t relate to ___________.A. the number of cigarettes a person smokesB. the kind and characteristics of skinC. how long a person smokesD. how long skin is under sunlight34.

The main purpose of the passage is to ____________.A. inform people about the study of skinB. advise people how to protect skinC. warn people not to smoke againD. introduce a new way of avoid skin aging第二部分信息匹配（共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Home on the WayPeople need homes: children assume their parents’ place as home; boarders call school “home” on weekdays; married couples work together to build new homes; and travelers … have no place to call “home”, at least for a few nights. ____36___? Don’t they hav e the right to a home? Of course they do.Some regular travelers take their own belongings: like bed sheets, pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are; some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants; 37 .

My hope of getting a diploma was dead.Pretty soon, I married. I had three Children, and I thought: “There 45 my diploma.”Even so, I wanted my children to be educated. But Linda, our youngest child, had juvenile arthritis (幼年型关节炎) in her 46 and knees, which made it 47 for her to function (活动) in a normal classroom.One day, I saw an ad in the newspaper for evening courses.“That’s the answer,” I said to myself. Linda always feels 48 in the evening, so I’ll just sign her up for night school.Linda was busy 49 out enrollment (入学) forms when the secretary said: “Mrs Schantz, why don’t you come back to 50 ?”I 51 : “There’s no way!
