Lhakpa Dondrub, 22, lost count of how many times he had broken bones. The disease affected his physical development, leaving him about 1 meter in height, and he has to 1 in a wheelchair, but it hasn’t stopped him going for his 2 to become a photographer.“When I was a child, I liked to watch the 3 of light through a window. It was amazingly beautiful. After learning photography, I know it is all about light and 4 to catch it through the lens (镜头),” says the man from Lhasa, the Tibet autonomous region.“What’s more, I have a 5 view than others, and I hope to find the unique (独特的) light i n life from my eyes,” he adds.Lhakpa Dondrub was raised by relatives after his mother passed away when he was young. He was found to have osteogenesis imperfecta (脆骨病) at the age of 5. The disease made going to school 6 for him and he had to study at home.In 2017, Lhakpa Dondrub entered the Lhasa care center for people with physical 7 , where he found his love for photography and video editing.For Lhakpa Dondrub, photography is not only a 8 to make a living, but also a driving force and an expression of life. 9 he has to stay in a wheelchair, he tries to go as far as he can.He 10 that one day, he will be able to take photos on Beijing’s Tian’anmen Square. 1．A．turn around B．look around C．show around D．move around 2．A．dream B．name C．team D．game3．A．challenge B．chance C．change D．character 4．A．what B．why C．where D．how 5．A．warmer B．faster C．lower D．smaller 6．A．important B．impossible C．impatient D．impolite 7．A．differences B．disabilities C．discoveries D．disadvantages 8．A．way B．word C．secret D．step 9．A．Although B．Because C．Before D．Until 10．A．suggests B．fears C．hopes D．reminds二、阅读理解11．Who plays Town Mouse?A．Sharon. B．Raymond. C．Jill. D．Roberta. 12．What can we read below the “Scene 1” and “Scene 2”?A．Who is in the play. B．When the play happens.C．How the play develops. D．Where the play takes place.13．What can we know from the name of the play “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse”?A．Who the play is about. B．When the play is on.C．Who the play is shown for. D．Where the costumes are from.The need for something that can solve the problems in our daily lives often leads to new and interesting inventions. Here are some examples of inventions that were born to solve common daily problems.Earle Dickson noticed that his wife often burned or cut herself accidentally while working in the kitchen. She would then need his help to put bandages (绑带) on the wounds. Since Dickson couldn’t always be there to help her, he invented a bandage that she could easily deal with herself. Sold under the brand name Band-Aid, these bandages are now used for many types of minor (not serious) cuts.Then there was Bette Nesmith Graham, a secretary who wanted a simple way to correct her typing mistakes. One day, as she was watching painters use touch-up paint to a wall, the idea hit her that the same way could be used on paper. She mixed a white paint and used a small brush to apply it to her work. This small bottle of paint with brush finally came to be known as Liquid (液体) Paper.In some cases, people invent things for one purpose but end up using them for another. Take tea bags for example. In 1908, a New York tea seller named Thomas Sullivan came up with the idea of creating small gifts for customers by putting tea leaves in small silk bags. Customers aresupposed to take out the tea leaves from each bag before making a pot of tea. However, some people misunderstood and began putting the unopened bags into hot water, and the custom of using tea bags was born.Sometimes inventions are used for their original (起初的) purposes. Other times they end up being used for something completely different. Either way, they make our lives a whole lot better.14．How many inventions are mentioned in the passage?A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5.15．Why was the Band-Aid invented?A．Because it made wounds become healthy.B．Because a secretary wanted to correct her mistakes.C．Because it can be used for many types of serious cuts.D．Because Dickson’s wife needed to deal with her wounds by herself.16．How was the custom of using tea bags born?A．It was born from a misunderstanding.B．It was born from a new idea to make tea.C．It was born from a need to take out tea leaves.D．It was born from a tea trade between countries.17．Which of the following is correct according to the article?A．Inventions are always used for their original purposes.B．The invention of Band-Aids came from an unexpected accident.C．Thomas Sullivan was the first person to sell tea in the United States.D．Liquid Paper invented by a secretary was used to correct typewriting.“Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” It is a popular topic among young people around China today. Many people are crazy about it so that they take a personality test named Myers-Briggs test to find out the answer.Many people find the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Test Indicator) useful. It groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter “I” or “B”, such as “ENTJ”, “TNFP” or more. “E” is short for “Extroversion” while “T” is for “Introversion”. “I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make m ore friends.” “I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.” They believe different types can help them make decisions for activities, jobs or even future plans more quickly.But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an ‘I’ or an ‘E’?”When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions are common. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over 50% of people got a different score when they retook the MBTI just five weeks later. “Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white,” scientists say. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older. Or, you can be both an “I” and an “E”. Studies have also shown that the test is not real at telling people’s success in different jobs. So, don’t take it too seriously.18．What is MBTI?A．A test about stress problems. B．A test with the same answer.C．A test about young people in China. D．A test for your personality type.19．What do you probably like to do if you are an “E” person?A．To read books in the library in the free time.B．To cook simple meals at home on weekends.C．To watch movies with a pet dog on Friday night.D．To celebrate different festivals with different people.20．What are the problems of the test?① The test is too black-or-white.② It costs much money to take the test.③ Some questions are difficult to answer.④ You need to take it many times to get the result.A．①②B．①③C．②③D．③④21．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph?A．To introduce what MBTI is. B．To explain how people use MBTI.C．To tell whether MBTI is useful. D．To list how many people use MBTI.Mr. Utterson was sitting by the fire after dinner when he was surprised to receive a visit from Doctor Jekyll’s servant (仆人), Poole. The old man looked pale and frightened.“Mr. Utterson, something is wrong,” said Poole.“Sit down, Poole, and drink some wine (酒). Then tell me all about it,” said Mr. Utterson. Poole sat down. “The doctor’s locked himself up in his study, sir. I am frightened.”“What are you afraid of?” asked Mr. Utterson, Poole did not answer the question. “I have been afraid for more than a week,” he stopped and stared (注视) down at the floor.“Something terrible is happening to my master. I can’t explain. But… please, sir, can you come with me and see for yourself?”At once, Mr. Utterson took his hat and coat. Together they made their way to Doctor Jekyll’s house. When they arrived at the house, Poole knocked softly at the front door. The door was opened just a little and a voice from inside as ked, “Is that you, Poole?”“Yes. Open the door.”They came into the hall, and Mr. Utterson was very surprised to find that the room was full of people. Every servant in the house was there. They looked like a crowd of frightened children.“What are you all doing here? Your master would be annoyed. Don’t you have work to do?”“They’re frightened,” said Poole. A little servant girl began to cry.“Mr. Utterson, sir, please follow me.” He led the way across the back garden towards the study.“Come as quietly as you can, sir. I want you to hear, but I don’t want him to hear you. And sir, if he asks you to go inside, don’t go.”Again, Mr. Utterson was very surprised. Why did Poole say such strange words?“Wait here, sir,” whispered Poole. He himself, controlling h is fear, knocked on the study door.“Mr. Utterson would like to see you, sir,” he called.“Tell him I cannot see anyone,” said a voice from inside the study.“Thank you, sir,” said Poole. He led Mr. Utterson back across the garden and into the house.“Sir,” he said, “was that my master’s voice?”Mr. Utterson’s face was pale. “It has changed,” he said.“Changed? You’re right,” said Poole. “I’ve worked for Doctor Jekyll for twenty years. That was not my master’s voice.”22．Why did Poole come to visit Mr. Utterson?A．To ask Mr. Utterson for help.B．To invite Mr. Utterson to go travelling.C．To see what was wrong with Mr. Utterson.D．To tell Mr. Utterson about Dr. Jekyll’s death.23．What does the underlined word “annoyed” mean in English?A．angry B．satisfied C．comfortable D．friendly 24．Which of the following is the right order according to the passage?a.

In 1948, they owned a restaurant in California. They liked working in the restaurant, but they got tired of the customers ordering so many different things to eat.“If we gave customers a smaller menu, we could make some of the food before they came, and they wouldn’t have to wait so long for their meals,” said one of the brothers. The other brother agreed and said, “And if we made the customers come to the counter, we wouldn’t need any waiters or waitresses. We could also use plastic plates so there wouldn’t be any washing up.”These were such good ideas that the McDonald brothers used them, and the customers were very pleased. They got their meals very quickly in less than a minute and they paid only 15 cents for hamburgers and 10 cents for fries. The first McDonald ’s restaurant had no seats for customers to sit on. This meant that people had to take their food away, and that no one had to clean up any tables after them. Then a man called Ray Kroc came to the brothers and asked to buy their business. They agreed to sell it to him for $27 million. After that, people paid Ray Kroc to open their own restaurants using the McDonald ’s name and menu. Before long, there were McDonald ’s restaurants all over the United States, and nowadays, they are all over the world ---even in China and Russia. The most successful McDonald ’s business is in Hong Kong of China. The Hong Kong McDonald ’s sells more hamburgers every day than any other McDonald ’s anywhere else in the world. McDonald ’s restaurants are so successful because children love going to them. They like the food, and they like the toys and games they can get at McDonald ’s. 36. The McDonald brothers offered customers fewer kinds of foods so that . A. they didn ’t need waiters or waitresses B. they could use plastic plates C. customers would get their meals quickly D. customers would pay less 37. Customers “paid only 15 cents for hamburgers ” means the hamburgers were . A. expensive B. new C. cheap D. worth a lot less 38. The first McDonald ’s customers took their food away because . A. they wanted to eat it quickly B. they did not want a large menu C. there were no seats D. they wanted to eat at home 39. Nowadays, the owners of McDonald ’s restaurants pay for . A. the McDonald ’s name and menu B. children to play games C. people to take the food away D. customers to eat quickly 40. This story mainly tells us . A. a restaurant in California in 1948 B. how Ray Kroc made money for the McDonald brothers C. where McDonald ’s restaurants are in the world D. how the McDonald ’ s business started and grew 第二卷 四 单词填空（10分） 41.

Yet, ice cream really came from Asia. In the late 1200s Marco Polo, the great explorer, is said to have seen rich Asians eating dishes of ice. Camels had brought the ice from distant mountains. Before it was served, the ice had been flavored(调味)with fruits.Marco Polo brought this new dish to Italy. In France cooks changed the ice recipe(配方)and made ice cream.At first，cooks tried to keep the recipe a secret. They wanted it to be a special dish for rich people. By the late 1700s, though, ice cream was sold throughout Europe and America. Some great Americans loved ice cream. George Washington was the first to buy a special machine for making it. When Thomas Jefferson returned from France, he brought an ice cream recipe home with him. Dolly Madison, wife of President James Madison, also liked ice cream, and she often served it at the White House. Actually, a famous brand of ice cream was even named after her.In the late 1800s，the ice cream industry began to grow. A way of keeping ice cream frozen had been found, so ice cream makers did not have to worry about ice cream melting(融化)any more.51. When did ice cream become well-known in many countries?A. In the1200s.B. In the 1500s.C. In the 1600s.D. In the 1900s.52. Who do you think was the most important person in the history of ice cream?A. Marco Polo.B. Dolly Madison.C. Thomas Jefferson.D. George Washington.53. Why can ice cream be sold everywhere today?A. Because people can afford to buy it.B. Because there are many recipes for it.C. Because it is easy to keep it frozen.D. Because many people like ice cream.BAs we walked slowly downhill to the boats, the doctor told us the story.“Two months ago,” he began, “Ben found the treasure and dug it up. He carried it on his back, in many tiring journeys, from under the pine tree to a cave he found. That’s when we arrived on the Hispaniola.” “I went to meet Gunn on the afternoon of the attack,” continued the doctor. “Then, when I couldn’t see the ship anymore, I visited Silver. I gave him the useless map and the supplies as Ben Gunn had plenty of goat’s meat. With the pirate s at the fort(堡垒) we could move to the safety of the cave and guard the money. I thought Jim was sure to be taken to the empty treasure pit(坑) with the pirates. So I left the squire and the captain guarding the cave, and arrived at the pit just in time. Gunn went ahead of me, as he could move fast, and he worked on the pirates fears by singing and calling out, with great success.”At the top of the bea ch, by Ben Gunn’s cave, we met the squire. He was pleasant and kind tome, with no praise or blame.“John Silver,” he said, greeting Long John Silver, “you are a villain. They tell me I must charge you, and so I will not. But the men you have killed will hang around your neck like heavy stones.”“Thank you, sir,” said Long John Silver, saluting him.And then we entered the cave. It was a large, airy place, with a little spring and a sandy floor. By a big fire lay Captain Smollett, and, in the far corner, I could see piles of gold coins and bars of gold. That was Flint’s treasure which we came to Treasure Island to find, and which cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And so many others that it was impossible to say.54. Where was the treasure at first?A. In the fortB. In the caveC. Under the pine treeD. On the ship55. What does the underlined word “villain” mean?A. suspectB. criminalC. thiefD. witness56. Which of the following is the correct order of the story?a. Gunn frightened the pirates successfully.b. Gunn found the treasure and hid it.c. Jim saw the treasure in the cave.d.

The doctor killed the pirates successfully.B. Silver would be charged by the squire.C. The squire met Gunn on the afternoon of the attack.D. Over seventeen people died because of the treasure.CThe painter Craigie Aitchison was born in Scotland. He came to London planning to study law, but went to art school instead. There he found the traditional drawing classes difficult, but still kept on painting.In his late twenties he was given money by the Italian government to study art and liked early Italian artists, which shows in some of his work. He loved the greens and browns of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and wanted to put this light into his paintings.This led him to paint colours thinly one on top of another from light to dark, but he insists he's never sure what the results will be. He says, "It's a secret---because I don't know myself. I don't start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put anything on top." Like most talented people, Aitchison makes it sound easy. "Anyone can do the colours---you can buy them. I simply notice what you put the colours next to."Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he feels that if he did, he might get bored and not do the painting afterwards. Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many times before they are finished. This explains why his favourite models are people who don't ask to see their pictures while he's painting them. "If I feel they're worried and want to look at the painting, I can't do it."Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish painting scene. He says he doesn't want to follow any tradition, but just paints the way he can. However, his work still influences young British painters.58. In the passage, the writer is trying to _____ .A. describe particular works by Craigie AitchisonB. teach readers how to paint like Craigie AitchisonC. introduce the artist Craigie Aitchison to the readersD. explain how Craigie Aitchison has made money from painting59. What can the reader learn about Aitchison from the passage?A. He works in a different way from other artists.B. He often gets bored easily with his paintings.C. He found the drawing classes easy at art school.D. He was sure what his painting was like before drawing.60. Aitchison prefers models who don't _____ .A. keep moving around while he's workingB. ask him about his strange method of workingC. worry about how long the work will takeD. feel worried to see the work as it's developing61. What might a visitor at an exhibition say about Aitchison's work?五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）66.Diana was a little fat in the past. But now she is much ▲than before. (瘦的)67.

He wore a green tie on a TV program on October 19, 2011. “I just want the students to know that I’m also wearing green. And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves.”The First Experimental Primary School in Xi’an made children with poor schoolwork and behavior wear green scarves. Parents whose children wore green scarves were angry. “The children still need their self-esteem (自尊心) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right,” said one mother. Now, the school has stopped the practice.Educational expert Li Zhenxi said that primary and junior high school students have strong self-esteem. They are eager to be respected and understood. Punishment will hurt them. “It’s better to e ncourage them rather than separating some ‘bad’ students,” he said.A survey made by the Ministry of Education (教育部) shows that 75 percent of students feel nervous and scared when the teacher is about to announce their grades. Some schools have done bette r in protecting students’ privacy and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using student names, they use secret numbers. This way, students know their secret numbers and can check their own grades only. Some teachers might call the students up to the desk and tell them their scores one at a time.But test scores are not the only measures of a student’s ability. Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard.1．Bai Yansong wore a green tie in a TV program in order to _______.A．show people his special dressing styleB．call on people to live a green lifeC．tell students green-scarf students are also good studentsD．remind students wearing green scarves means being bad2．Why did those parents whose children wore green scarves feel angry?A．Because their children did do well at school.B．Because they thought the school didn’t have the right.C．Because it was against the law.D．Because it hurts their children’s self-esteem.3．According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?A．Primary school students are too young to know what self-esteem is.B．Separating some “bad” students helps create good learning environment.C．Most “good” students like their teachers to announce their scores.D．Using secret numbers instead of students’ names can protect their privacy better.4．Which of the following may the writer agree with?A．The green scarves system can make students work hard.B．Student’s ability should not be measured only b y test scores.C．Students who get low marks should use secret numbers.D．Teachers should tell students their scores secretly one by one.5．What does the word “measure” mean in the last paragraph?A．长度B．尺度C．方法D．标准Ⅴ.书面表达19、书面表达每年的4月23日是世界读书日，这个纪念日的意义在于推动更多人去阅读。

Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of everyday life. It is thought that we won’t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways.Let’s look at books, for example. Some people think that one day we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Computerized(计算机化) books will be used more and more.Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go in to shops and look at things you want to buy. It is also unlikely that many people will want to read large texts on our computers.

Our guide informed us that this was a Baobab tree and that they could live for hundreds of years．Compared with this tree, the elephant just looked like dwarfs (much smaller plants or animals)! We were informed that Tarangire was one of the best National Parks in Africa to see so many Baobab trees．As we continued our drive through the park, we finally reached a watering hole．Our guide warned us that there were lions all around us．It took us all a while to find them, but there they were! Most of them are resting in the shade under bushes, but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us．We then noticed just to our right, there were a couple of fresh zebra bodies — it seemed as if the lions which were resting had killed them! We were unlucky not to have seen the kill, as our guide had mentioned that the zebra bodies were fresh and the kill had happened within the last hour．Our final big sighting was one that none of us were expecting to see, even our guide! We stopped at a place where there were quite a many cars, with a sleeping leopard（美洲豹）there! We took photos and watched its surprising body before returning to our hotel as it was getting late．So, I hope you enjoyed my description of Tarangire, and add this amazing park to your very own Tanzania travel route．2．Which statement is correct about the park?A．It covers an area of about 2,580 square kilometers.B．It is the largest park of its kind in the country.C．Their population in the park was around 2,000.D．There are a lot of Baobab trees in the park．3．What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 infer?A．They moved their bodies against the trees to solve the skin problem.B．They rested under the trees, doing nothing, just for killing the time.C．They helped each other to knock down the dirty things on their bodiesD．They guarded their baobab trees, fighting the terrible leopards and lions.4．What does the passage possibly tell us?A．A Page from Tanzania Tourist Diary. B．Animals and Plants in Tarangire Park.C．A Visit to Tarangire National Park. D．Protecting Animals and Environment.D16、China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount (数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.The difference could be due to the different weather.Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.1．In southern China, people usually buy _____ at a time.A．a small amount of foodB．a large amount of foodC．enough food for a weekD．a lot of meat and vegetables2．If you buy fruits in the south, the shop owners may _______.A．peel and cut them for youB．laugh at youC．only sell them in boxes and basketsD．only sell a single apple or pear3．Many northern Chinese have the habit of keeping food because ________.A．the weather is hot and wetB．food goes bad quicklyC．the weather is cold and dryD．they live far away from markets4．The underlined words "due to" mean "_________" in Chinese.A．所以B．但是C．然而D．因为5．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Different Weather in ChinaB．Different Living Habits in ChinaC．Southern Chinese and Northern ChineseD．Southern China and Northern ChinaE17、Forget hard work and perseverance. Getting ahead is as simple as tidying your desk.According to a leading expert, having a cluttered environment reflects a cluttered mind, but the act of tidying up can help you be more successful. The advice comes from Jayne Morris, the resident"life coach" for NHS Online, who said it is no good just moving the mess around. In order to clear the mind, unwanted items must be thrown away to free your "inner world", she said.Ms Morris, who claims to have coached celebrities to major business figures, said:“Clearing clutter from your de sk has the power to transform your business. " How? Because clutter in your outer environment is the physical sign of all the clutter going on inside of you. " Clearing clutter has a chain effect across your entire life, including your work. Having an untidy desk covered in clutter could be stopping you achieving the business success you want. " She is sure cleaning up will be helpful even though some of history's biggest achievers lived and worked in messy conditions.Churchill was considered untidy from a boy throughout his life, from his office to his artist's studio,and the lab where Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin was famously untidy.Among the recommendations is that simply tidying a desk at work and an overflowing filing cabinet(陈列柜) willinstantly have a positive impact on "your inner world. " Anything that is no longer used should not be put into storage but thrown away completely.Keeping something in the loft, garage or other part of the house, does not help because it is still connected to the person "by tiny energetic li.nes", Ms Morris. claims.She said, "The things in your life that are useful to you, that add value to your life, that serve a current purpose are charged with positive energy that refreshes you and enriches your life. But the things that you don't ever use and don't need anymore have the opposite effect on your energy.Things that no longer fit or serve you, use up your energy. "1．The underlined word "cluttered" (in Para.2) is closest, in meaning to __________A．messyB．briefC．complexD．aggressive2．Which of the following statements does Ms Morris agree toA．hanging the position of staff frequently will help to build up a clear mind.B．A tidy office will lead to a success in your business affairs in no time.C．To have a free mind, we need to throw away unneeded items at times.D．Y ou can pack up your things in garage or loft to cheer you up.3．According to Ms Morris, an untidy desk probably means thatA．you are quite a failureB．you are in a messy mindC．you are toe tired to deal with itD．you have achieved the business success4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Less untidy, more successful.B．How to improve your inner world.C．Cleaning up makes you less intelligent.D．Being bigger achiever needs more effortF18、On the first day of school, Jack found a little old lady with a warm smile.“Hi, handsome.

People were always busy making money, with no time for relaxation. Some young people couldn’t bear the intensity(紧张) and chose to drink to escape（逃避）.In Pleasure, the motto（格言）was: If only you like it, do it.

ALeon was a postman. Every day after Leon woke up, he would feed his 37 cats. Leon didn’t really want 37 cats, but one by one they had turned up on his doorstep, and Leon had taken them in.Every day, after feeding the cats, Leon would collect the mail from the red postboxes in the village and take it home to sort（分类）. “If only I had 37 helpers instead of 37 cats, my job would be so much easier,” Leon thought. Just then, the cats started meowing for their dinner. That gave Leon an idea. That night, Leon stayed up making 37 cat-sized postal backpacks. Each backpack fitted neatly onto a cat’s back. Then, he went around to each postbox, putting signs up that read: Postbox closed. Please use the Postal Cat Service.The next day, Leon put a backpack on each cat and dropped off the cats around the village. Leon knew that the cats would be happy lazing around all day. He also knew that they would always come home for dinner. Leon spent the day relaxing, waiting for his helpers to return. Leon was right. The cats did return, but they did not bring home many letters. Somehow, the cats had managed to wriggle（蜿蜒而行）out of their backpacks. Or lose their letters. Or get the letters wet. “Cats are just too unreliable（不可靠的）” Leon thought. Just then, there was a scratching（刮擦声）at Leon’s door. A dog was waiting to be invited inside. That gave Leon an idea.26.

Because the cat he kept were reliable.27. What do you think the last sentence of the passage mean?A. Leon would have some dogs to help him.B. Leon would refuse the dog to get into his house.C.

The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could often see her sit by her window, sewing or reading.After several months, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t clean her window.It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including the windows.Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! The woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?”Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.28.

If you think the answer is “dog” – you are wrong. There are million cats and million dogs in Britain according to recent figures. But experts predict (预测) that there will be more dogs than cats next year as dogs become more and more popular.Dogs as accessories (配饰)We like to spend time with our pets. The Queen is famous for her corgis (威尔士矮脚狗) and is often photographed with them. Nowadays some dog owners are more extreme（极端的）– a few TV celebrities even take their dogs shopping or to restaurants. Chihuahuas (吉娃娃犬) are especially popular as “handbag dogs” because they are so small.Dog holidaysPeople are also giving their pets holidays. Many UK hotels and holiday parks now welcome dogs as guests. What about owners who go abroad? They can leave their pets at a dog hotel or dog spa while they are away. Some even provide their canine (犬) guests with a TV.Dogs are for lifeThe British charity, Dogs Trust, finds homes for thousands of lost and homeless dogs every year. Their famous slogan（口号）“A dog is for life and not just for Christmas” was created in the 1970s t o teach people about the responsibility（责任）of owning a dog. Dogs Trust told British people not to givedogs as gifts or treat them like toys.Dogs on TVVictoria Sitwell is the host（主持人）of the popular TV programme called “It’s me or the dog”. In the show Victoria helps dog owners with their pets’ bad behavior. She tri es to find ways to problems such as a Dalmatian who thinks he owns the house and won’t let the family sit on the sofa, dogs that will only eat ice cream and biscuits and even a bulldog（恶犬）who uses the owner’s bed as a toilet. Yuck! Fashion for dogsYou can shop online or on the high street for the latest in dog clothes and accessories（配件）. Specialist shops sell dog boots, dog dress costumes, dog coats, dog dresses and dog pants.31. What does the article mainly talk about?A. Cats as number one favorite pet in the UK.B. A culture of dogs as a pet in the UK.C. Small dogs like Chihuahuas becoming more and more popular.D. Dogs equally treated as human beings.32. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?A. Dog owners should show respect for dogs’ lives.B. Dog owne rs should not use dogs as Christmas gifts.C. Dog owners should care for the dogs more than anything else.D. Dog owners should devote all their lives to treating their dogs well.33. From the passage we can know that _____.A. dogs will become the number one pet in the US in the years to comeB. some dogs are treated as human beingsC. Victoria Sitwell host a programme to help dog owners to treat sick dogsD. fashion for dogs causes the economy of the UK to develop quicklyDEvery kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing house as a child — pretending（假装）to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become “kidults”. Being a kidult has become a lifestyle choice among young people across Asia.Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory（配件、附件）.Other kidults still enjoy children’s stories and fairy tales. For example, the British publisher Bloomsbury even released an edition（发布一个版本）of the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book.“Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who love their childhood most and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,”said Lee So-jung, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.Tim Greenhalgh, an adviser in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They hold on to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.“So, they can escape from increasingly busy and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,”Greenhalgh said.34. Why does a kid wish to be an adult?A. Because he wants to be independent（独立）.B. Because he doesn’t want to be controlled by adults.C. Because he wants to experience the real world.D. Because he believes there will be more exciting life ahead.35. What can we infer（推断）from the passage?A. Some kidults refuse to grow up.B. Some kidults in Britain like reading on the subway.C. Some kidults think childhood is the best time of their life.D. Some kidults want to escape from the busy and stressful life36. One of the advantages of the kidult culture is that ______.A. it can make adults face the real social lifeB. it can make our society young and full of lifeC. it can increase the sales of children’s booksD. it can lead to harmonious（和谐的）relationship between adults and kids37. Which of the following is the best title for the article?A. Kids or Grown-upsB. Happy ChildhoodC. Fearful AdulthoodD. Kidult Culture四、词汇检测(共1 0小题；每小题l分，满分l 0分)根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式．每空只写一词．38. He is the __________（富有）person I have ever met, but he never shows off.39.
