My husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business ( 宠物护养业务 ) earlier that year.
Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month. We were busy through those hot
summer months, driving between visits. Our services were strictly held at the pet owner ’s home. It
was almost too busy for the two of us, but we were making good money!
We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to
meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.
One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We met
the family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on us
and touched our hands and arms using his tongue. The family laughed as he did this, showing
us that he was very loving.
Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. I
filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile, he was so lovely sitting
beside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners, a usual service. After the
light and “ click sound” went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didn’ t know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood. I ran out and did the only thing—calling my husband.
Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighbor
and my husband led Hercules back into his pen(圈 ). Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.
I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital. The nurses quickly moved
me to a room. I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner,“ Am I going to die?” He replied,
“ Finally.”

B
Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming,
or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms — football, basketball, hockey, golf
or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon
with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks
in high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as others, as there are
for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be
dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering
attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big
difference is that mountaineering is not a“ team game” . We shouldinthis. beTheremistakenare,
it is true, no“ matches” between“ teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful
than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical
qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. A skier is probably past his
best by the age of thirty. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest
mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with
more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
4. What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?
A. Skiing and skating.
B. Soccer and golf.
C. Cycling and hockey.
D. Mountaineering.
5. The underlined word“passion” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by ______.
A. better feeling
B. good way
C.strong emotion
D. enough affection
6.We know from the passage that _______.
A.mountaineering has no appeal for people
B.physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers
C.it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps
D.a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirty
7.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Sports in winter
B. Mountaineering
C. Team work in climbing
D. The quality for mountaineering

Could cities that float ( 飘扬 ) on the sea solve the problems caused by floods ( 洪水 ) and
provide food for the world?
Some scientists think so. The idea is already being tested and they believe that floating cities will provide more homes for a growing population, without having to use land needed to
grow food. And they believe floating areas will allow more food to be grown, so that no one in the world is hungry.
In some places, cities that float on the sea are already being planned. A company in the Netherlands called DeltaSync thinks that the sea cities will save the world, with more than one in
ten people living in them.
They say sea cities solve many problems the world faces in the 21st century, like not having enough land, more and more people needing homes, fossil fuels (矿物燃料) running low and the increasingly serious problems caused by floods.
DeltaSync says building in the desert (沙漠) is not possible because there is not enough water and that developing ways for people to live in space is still too expensive. So they believe
the answer is our oceans, which cover over two thirds of the Earth’s surface. Their plans for floating areas include using algae ( 海藻 ) to produce fuel and food.
More than a quarter of the land in the Netherlands already lies underwater and
scientists there have spent years trying to find ways to deal with it. In the city of Rotterdam they already have floating homes.
Bart Roeffen from DeltaSync says:“We have plans for neighbourhoods including roads and, in the end, I believe we can build floating cities on the sea. ”
12.What can we learn about the Netherlands?
A.There are floating homes in one of its cities.
B.It has found many fossil fuels recently.
C.Two thirds of its land is covered by water.
D.Its population is increasing quickly.
13. Which of the following is the advantage of the cities that DeltaSync wants to build?
A. Providing more jobs for people.
B. Satisfying more people ’s housing needs.
C. Supplying enough water to people.
D. Making travel in space possible.
14. What does Bart Roeffen think of his company ’s future plans?
A. He doubts them.
B. He has no idea about them.
C. He is uncertain about them.
D. He is hopeful of them.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Will there be enough water?
B. Is it possible to live in the desert?
C. Will sea cities save the world?
D. Is it expensive to build floating cities?

Hello, everyone!
It is a great honor for me to be here to share with you about my dream. Frankly, I dream to be
a journalist. As far as I know, it is a great challenge to be a journalist. First of all, we have to be
sharp in mind so as to react to different situations quickly. Secondly, creativity can help us produce outstanding ideas. What’ s more, it is necessary for us to hold unique opinions towards hot issues.
Just as you see, my qualities just meet the requirements above. Besides, I am sociable and love communicating with different people. And my talent in language enables me to express myself
clearly. I believe all these can make me a good journalist as long as I am determined and
never give up.
That’s all.
Thank you!。
