After their 15-year-old dog Bailey died in 2007, Ron and his wife, Ann, looked for months to find the right new pet. “I love dogs,” says Ron, a worker at a health club in Waukesha, Wisconsin. “I can’t imagine not having one.”
Finally, the couple spotted a young dog at the Humane Society in Milwaukee. His name was Oscar. “He was very attractive,”says Ron, 65. Oscar quickly made himself at home, sleeping on his new owners’ bed at night.
A diabetic(糖尿病人) for 25 years, Ron faithfully took his medicine four times a day and generally had no problems. But on March 17, at about 3 a.m., he got out of bed to use the bathroom. Suddenly, he fell down to the floor. “I must have taken the wrong amount of medicine before I went to sleep, because my blood sugar was dangerously low,” he says.
“Normally, Oscar is very quiet and well-behaved,” says Ron. “But when I hit the floor, he let out sounds like a wild animal.”
“Honestly, it sounded like the dog from hell,” s ays Ann, who was awakened by the sound.” I didn’t know what the sound was. Then I saw my husband lying on the bathroom floor. He was cold.” She ran for the phone and called an ambulance.
Ron spent several hours in the hospital. By 6:30a.m., he was well enough to go home. “You would never suspect Oscar of any heroism.” says his grateful owner. “He’s a wonderful little guy. We are lucky enough to own him.”
Even before Oscar’s heroic action, the couple had given their pet a new nickname(昵称). “We felt the name Oscar wasn’t good enough,” says Ron, “so sometimes we call him Eduardo”—more suitable, they think, for their dog.
56. What was Ann doing when Ron went to the bathroom?

C.Ron got diabetes when he was 40 years old.
D.Ron had to take his medicine three times a day.

The island Fiji has always been around me in my life. My parents met in Fiji when my father was a teacher as a Peace Corps volunteer and my mother a student. They taught me about its people, culture, foods and religious beliefs.
At the age of two, I made my first trip across the Pacific Ocean to Fiji. My mother and I made that trip unexpectedly because my grandma was ill and longed to see her American granddaughter. Although I have few memories of that first trip, I do remember grandma braiding(编辫子) my hair every day. The brush gliding through my hair is a feeling I will treasure forever because she passed away soon. I returned to America when I was five years old. This time I had a brother, Martin, who was two.
I resisted my third trip to Fiji when I was 15, being a teenager who did not want to spend the summer away from friends. It was this trip, however, that made me realize that Fiji is not just a place to visit but a part of who I am. The smells and sounds
and sights came back to me, but the best part was getting to know my relatives.
Vishal was one cousin I quickly bonded with(与…合拍). Born two days before me, I had only known him through pictures before. Though raised oceans apart in different cultures, we talked and laughed about everything from American sports to Fijian dancing. I was able to form close ties with all my cousins, and when I talk about them now, it’s as if I have known them my whole life. Spending time with them helped me understand the traditions and values my mother grew up with. Hospitality (热情) and care and respect for family members are central values in Fijian culture.
I truly enjoyed learning about my roots during this trip. Fuji is just like a second home, and I will never forget the time I have spent there.
60. From the passage, we can learn that ______________________.
A.the author’s parents had been classmates before
B.the author had lived in Fiji for about five years
C.the author had no memories of her grandma
D.people value family in Fijian culture
61. The author resisted her third trip to Fiji because______________________.
A.she didn’t want to separate from her brother
B.she didn’t know her cousins there very well
C.she didn’t want to separate from her American friends
D.her grandma had passed away
62. Which of the following is TRUE about Vishal?
A.He is younger than the author.
B.The author had met him on her first trip to Fiji.
C.He and the author had lots of common interests.
D.He and the author held different opinions about Fijian culture.
63. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. My Trips to Fiji
B.Discovering My Fijian Origins
C.My Understanding of Fijian Culture
D. My Memories of Fiji
C
In seventh grade, Brittany Blythe dreamed of being a cheerleader. Her school’s coaches were less than enthusiastic. “They said, ‘I don’t know how you’ll be able to do it,’ she recalls. “‘You won’t be able to do it. ’”
But Brittany, now a junior at Strath Haven High School near Philadelphia, persisted(坚持). And when the junior team cheerleaders won a tournament last year, she was right there, dancing and cheering with the rest of the team.
Not bad for someone whose legs were cut off below the knee when she was two years old.
Brittany, 18, was born without shinbones(胫骨)--“just blood and muscle tissue”, as she puts it. When she tried to walk, her legs twisted.
After the operation, she adapted quickly. “From day one, I basically jumped up and wanted to do everything,” she says. Prosthetic legs(假腿) allowed her to move around upright, but too slowly to keep up with her friends. Brittany’s solution:
take the legs off and walk on her knees---sometimes she still does when safety and comfort permit.
She’s rarely daunted. Other children laughed at her through the years, especially in junior high school, but she says the challenge only made her stronger. Now she’s trying to convince her coaches to let her remove the prostheses and be a flyer, the cheerleader who’s thrown in the air and caught by her teammates.
Brittan y doesn’t think her problems are more difficult than the next person’s. “My disability was the first thing I had to get through, and that’s going to prepare me for the future,” she says. “It’s all just a test: If someone throws you a curve ball(给你出难题), wha t are you going to do?”
64. What was the school’s coaches’ attitude towards Brittany’s idea of being a cheerleader?
A. Supportive
B. Doubtful
C. Opposed
D. Curious
65. What did Brittany do to keep up with her friends?
A.She used a pair of walking sticks.
B.She practiced hard every day.
C.She walked on her knees.
D.She asked her friends for help
66. The underlined word “daunted” in Paragraph 6 probably means _____________.
A. discouraged
B. angry
C. confident
D. fortunate
67. We can learn from the last paragraph that Brittany __________.
A.is not well prepared for the future
B.takes a positive attitude towards life
C.likes the challenge of learning new things
D. thinks that her problems are more difficult than other’s.
D
All the Lortons’farm animals –the cows and the goats, the ducks and the chickens, got along well with Roger—a llama(美洲驼). But since llamas are used to thinking of animals like coyotes(土狼) and dogs as threats, it took Roger a few weeks to accept the family dog.
Roger protects the sheep and lambs in two ways. First, he keeps the sheep together.
A hungry coyote will try to scatter(分散) the flock and then pick off a weak or small animal that has become separated from the rest. But when a coyote threatens the Lorton’s sheep, they all run to Roger, depending on him to defend them.
And he does, with his second defense: confronting(对抗) the coyote. Llamas are very curious and will run at top speed to investigate anything that looks interesting. When a coyote sees a three-hundred-pound llama rushing toward it, the coyote will not usually wait around to see what the llama wants.
And once a llama realizes that a coyote is threatening the flock, the llama will stand between the coyote and the sheep to defend them. Often, the llama will charge toward the coyote with its head down. As it runs, it will sometimes call out an alarm to the flock in a high-pitched voice. Since Roger’s arrival, coyotes haven’t gotten any sheep from the Lortons.
68. The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________________.
A. a llama helps guard sheep
B.coyotes are sheep’s main enemy
C.llamas are much smarter than coyotes
D.some types of dogs can’t protect sheep
69. The following words can be used to describe Roger Except_____________.
A. protective
B. curious
C. brave
D. patient
70. It can be inferred that the Lortons are __________________.
A.scientists studying llamas’ behavior
B.farmers using a llama to guard sheep
C.citizens keeping a llama as a pet
D. businessmen selling llamas to farmers
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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Here are some ways to help you have a happier and more successful life:
71 Instead of saying, “Why is this happening to me?”you say, “What can I learn from this?” Trust that anything difficult in life is temporary. Then life will get better. 72 Without life’s challenges, we would never know what we are truly made of. Therefore, we become stronger and more confident in the process.
73 It actually works! Don’t say it doesn’t work until you’ve tried it. We all have a blueprint for our lives and making plans will help us realize it.
Take care of people around you honestly. 74 If you truly care about your friends, family or someone else, they’ll stick with you through high and low because they know you care about them.
Refuse to compare your progress with others. It will only serve to destroy your confidence. Everyone is at different stages in their lives. If you understand that you’re right where you’re supposed to be, then it won’t matter what others are doing. You are unique with special qualities, talents, skills and so on.75
A.Pay attention to your imagination.
B.The power of making plans cannot be ignored.
C.Try to learn from the difficult situations you meet.
D.Everything you’ve experienced has been in preparation.
E.There is no one like you, so how can you compare yourself to others?
F.It is through the toughest times we learn what we’re capable of doing.
G. People can see right through you and can feel whether you’re honest or not.

Hello, everyone,
My name is Li Hua. For your convenience, I would like to tell you something about the facilities in and around our school.
In our school there is a gym and a badminton hall, where you can play several ball games. North of the school you can easily find some restaurants, a post office and banks, all of which are within ten minutes’ walk. We are also close to a big supermarket—LOTTEMART. You can buy what you need any time, for it’s open 24 hours a day. If you need to go to the hospital, the No. 1 bus will take you there —just two stops from our school. Alternatively, you can dial 120 in emergencies.
Wish you a happy stay here. If you have further questions, you can turn to me.。
