Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood．When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.
We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. There isn’t a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the
song of the mockingbird.
I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.
I had left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day of the bird’s captivity my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.
The following morning when I went to see how my captive was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.
Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to li ve in captivity.”
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.
45．Why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12?
A．He had just got a new cage. B．He liked its beautiful feather.
C．He wanted it to sing for him. D．He wanted a pet for a companion.
46．The mockingbird died because it ______.
A．was frightened to death B．ate the poisonous food its mother gave it
C．refused to eat anything D．drank the poisonous water by mistake
47．An ornithologist probably means ______.
A．a religious person B．a kind person
C．a schoolmaster D．an expert in birds
48．What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident?
A．Freedom is very valuable to all creatures. 高*考*资*源*网
B．All birds put in a cage won’t live long.
C．You should keep the birds from their mother.
D．Be careful about food you give to baby birds.

C
Some people take lots of exercise. Others keep strict diets. But according to recent research, the best way to live a long and happy life is simple. Get a dog.
“We have known for many years that the company of a pet can increase well-being in a number of ways. ” says Dr. Bonnie Beaver, an animal behavior specialist at Texas University.
“For example, the survival rates of heart attack victims with pets are much greater than those of people without pets.”
According to Dr. Beaver, pet owners are less likely to need a doctor. They recover more quickly when they do get ill. They have lower blood pressure,take more exercise and are more socially active.
Above all, they are happier. Seventy percent of the families Dr. Beaver surveyed said that their family environment was happier after they got a pet. And this is what Dr. Beaver and other researchers are trying to achieve. They want to find a scientific link between human happiness and a long life.
There is no final answer to this question yet, but it seems to be something to do withemotional ties. People with someone or something to love live longer. “There are many forms of animal-human relationship and some are very helpful.” says Dr Beaver. It seems that the more lovely an animal is, the more it benefits our health. As the saying goes, “If you want to be loved, get a dog.”
Pet ownership benefits men and women equally. Other life experiences divide the sexes. Women are more sensitive to bad marriages than their husbands because they work harder at their relationship, says Dr. Janice Glaser of Ohio State University.
The message seems to be that a woman is better off with a good dog than a bad husband. Yet in some ways, men are similar to dogs. They like getting dirty and making a mess. They forget birthdays. They can disappear for days. How can they be better trained?
49. According to the author, the companyofa pet does good to a person in the
following ways except __________.
A. having less chance of dying of heart attacks
B. being more active in society
C. having their familyliving environment improved
D. being better off than others
50. It can be inferred from the article that _______.
A. a woman may prefer to have the company of a good dog than that of a bad husband
B. scientists are sure about the relationship between happiness and a long life
C. all life experience has a different effect on men and women
D. women can benefit more from owning a pet than men can
51. In what kind of tone do you think the author write the passage?
A. Realistic and serious.
B. Delighted and hopeful.
C. Angry and pitiful.
D. Light and humorous.
52. Which of the following do you think would be the best title of the passage?
A. Relation between Humans and Pets
B. Four legs Good, Two Legs Bad
C. Love me, love my dog.
D. Pets and Family Life

第二节: 阅读文章并回答问题。

Do you like chocolate? Most people do. Some like it in bars. Others just like big squares of it.
Say you just got a box of chocolate. Which piece do you pick first? A study carried out by a professor in the University of Virginia showed that people’s choices of chocolates show their personality. I f you choose a round piece, you are a person who likes to party. If you select an oval shape, you are a person who strives(努力). You like to make things and push yourself to be successful. Picking a square shape shows that this is an honest and truthful person you can depend on.
What kind of chocolate do you pick? Maybe you like milk chocolate. This shows you have warm feelings about the past, while dark chocolate means something else -- the person who chooses it ________. What about white chocolate? Would you like to choose it? If so, you may find it hard to make up your mind. Those who like chocolate with nuts are people who like to help others.
Do you believe these ideas? Can chocolate tell all these things? It doesn’t matter. There is one sure thing about eaters of chocolates – they eat it because they like it.

Last week my class had a discussion on whether mobile phones should be brought to school. The students
hold different opinions.Some think that students can bring a mobile phone to school because it has many advantages. If you have a mobile phone, you can contact your parents and friends easily. You can also take pictures and enjoy music. Besides, it’s fashionable to have a mobile phone. But others don’t think it’s a good idea to bring mobiles to school, because with them students may not pay attention to their lessons. If by chance the phone is not turned off, the ringing will disturb the class. Furthermore, using mobile phones will add to their parents’ economic burdens. In my opinion, we’d better not bring mobiles to school.。
