A
On a snowy and windy afternoon, Ann, a ten-year-old girl, went out to play. She was walking along the sands when she was blown into a ditch (壕沟) by the seashore. She was frightened and tried her best to climb out. But the ditch was too deep and she was too weak to get out of it. So Ann cried at the top of her voice for help. But what she could hear over the snow ditch was nothing but the terrible noise of the wind. Nobody came to her and nobody knew where she was. She struggled again and again. Her face was struck by the strong wind, snow and sand, and was almost frozen. Her hands were stiff. She also felt that she was worn out. She started to cry hopelessly. Just at the moment Ann saw a black dog appearing through the heavy snow. It was Victor, her true friend. He was glad to see the sign of life. And the dog set out to work as soon as he got to Ann. He cleaned away the snow around her with his own paws and hind legs, and then reached out his big strong fur head to Ann. The little girl closed her arms r ound Victor’s neck. The dog backed away slowly, pulling her out of the ditch little by little.
Successfully, Ann got out of the ditch at last. Then she struggled to her feet. With great difficulty, led by her true friend Victor, she was rescued. Victor, the black dog, was given a gold medal and was honoured as Brave Hero Dog of America.

Many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and help control body weight.
Any pet 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 stress levels and blood pressure in people (half of them were pet owners) while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. People completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems that 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 may also have an effect on your body weight. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying two groups of fat people who were put on a diet-and-exercise program: one group with pet dogs, and the other without. On average, dog owners lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight; While those without dogs lost about 8 pounds. The pet owners, said researchers, got more exercise overall (mostly with their dogs) and found it worth doing.
45. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. People’s opinions of keeping pets.
B. How pets help people calm down.
C. What pets bring to their owners.
D. Pets can help in medical research.
46. We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting
well if_________.
A. he has a pet companion
B. he has less stress of work
C. he often dose mental arithmetic
D. he is taken care of by his family
47. According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around?
A. They are less nervous.
B. They are in higher spirits.
C. They become more patient.
D. They have lower blood pressure.
48. The research mentioned in the last paragraph suggests that_________.
A. people with dogs did more exercise
B. dogs lost the same weight as people did
C. dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D. people without dogs found the program unhelpful
C
E-mail has been widely used since its invention for its convenience, efficiency, and high speed. However, it is wise to remember how easily this wonderful technology can be misused, sometimes unintentionally, but can result in serious conse quences.
Now let’s look at the case of the Illinois man who left the snow-filled streets of Chicago for a vacation in Florida. His wife was on a business trip and was planning to meet him there the next day. When he reached his hotel , he decided to send his wife a quick E-mail. Unable to find the note with his wife’s E-mail address, he did his best to type from his memory. Unfortunately, he missed one letter and his E-mail was directed to an elderly lady whose husband had passed away (去世) only the day before. When the sad widow checked her E-mail, she took one look at the screen, let out a sharp cry, and fell to the floor in a dead
faint (昏迷 ). At the sound , her family rushed into the room and saw this note on the screen:
MY DEAREST WIFE： JUST GOT CHECKED IN. EVERYTHING PREPARED FOR YOUR ARRIVAL TOMORROW.
P.S. SURE IS HOT DOWN HERE
49. Where do you think this text comes from?

写作参考范文：
Dear sir ,
With the development of tourism and th e construction of the restaurants and hotels ,the habitat of many wild species is suffering now. So I am writing to you for the conservation and the protection of the environment and the wild species.
Firstly, the existence of the wild species are closely related to the balance of the ecosystem and the survival of the whole human race. Even though tourism can bring a lot of profit financially, we shou ld not do it at the cost of the habitat of the wild species. Secondly, we should limit the number of tourists because too many tourists could bring more harm on the land.
Thirdly ,we should carefully design the construction of restaurants and hotels. Under no circumstances can we occupy wild habitat.
Last but not lest we should advertise the concept of conservation and protection and at the same time make strict rules to regulate the behaviors of the tourists .
I really wish you could consider my opinions, and I am expecting the local government to take some measures soon.
Yours faithfully
Li Hua。
