第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

I stole your dog today. No, I didn’t set a foot on your
house, but from the condition of your dog, I can imagine
what it looks like ...the word “rubbish” comes to mind.
I found her along a road, with a heavy chain wrapped around
her neck, still attached to rotten boards from her doghouse. Not only
did I know that most of the town people had already ignored her, judging by where I found her, but I knew that if she had gotten into the woods, the “cross” that she dragged behind her would have wrapped around a tree until starvation or thirst killed her.
She has a beautiful name now. Already in the first week she has come to look more like she should. Her eyes sparkle and she has learned to wag her tail in greeting. She has stopped flinching （畏缩） when I make a sudden movement, because she knows now that I won’t beat her, in fact, she rarely leaves my side. She’s even become brave enough to bark at a cat and today I watched from the window as she attempted to play with the other dogs. No, it’s clear she does not miss you or her former life on a chain.
It’s not clear yet whether she’ll remain here or whether I’ll find her a loving home where she can count on more individual attention than I can give her, but one thing is certain, this is one bit of stolen “property” who is never returning to you. So sue me, accuse me, plead with the courts that she is rightfully yours ... I’m convinced this is the best “crime” I’ve ever committed. Hardly anything has pleased me more than the day I stole your dog. I need only look into her beautiful brown eyes to know that she’d defend my decision with her life. If we have one prayer, it is that you will not replace her, and if we have one special day to celebrate together, it is the day I stole your dog and the day she stole my heart.
56. What’s the author’s attitude towards the former owner of the dog?
A. Puzzled. B. Angry. C. Shocked. D. Satisfied.
57. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.

58. All the following statements showed us the dog’s recovery from her nature except _______.
A. playing with other dogs B. barking at a cat
C. not missing her former master D. waving her tail to make greetings
59. What did the author think of his theft?
A. He was afraid of being punished. B. He thought he had to do it.
C. He believed that the law would allow him to do so. D. He did it with pride.
B
Although it doesn’t breathe fire, this dragon can fly. And what a beauty it is. By far the scariest thing about the dragonfly is its name. This double-winged, fast-flying insect is totally harmless. It has large, deep eyes that can detect the smallest movements. Its body may be bright blue and red or, a vivid green. Dragonflies in flight look like dancing spots of color in the light of a midsummer’s day.
The dragonfly has a long and respectable history. It was one of the first flying insects on the earth. To see this oldster of the insect world in action, head for a pond. Dragonflies live near the water. In fact, they lay their eggs right in the water.
A dragonfly goes through several big changes before it becomes a flying insect. From the egg, a tiny creature called a nymph is hatched. It lives in the water, eating other small creatures that live in the pond. As the nymph grows, it becomes too big for its skin. Then it sheds (lose naturally) the skin that is too small for it. Soon it grows a new one. This molting happens several times, until the insect is full grown. At this time it crawls up the stem of a water plant, out into the air. It squeezes its way out of its last skin as a full-fledged dragonfly.
After going through all that work to grow up, the dragonfly only lives for about a month. But for this short time it startles the hot summer air with its bright beauty.

Reuters —— Bus driver and his passengers were being hailed （拥戴） as heroes last night after rescuing a woman from her burning car following a crash on the Bluff highway. The 60-year-old woman was taken by ambulance to Southland Hospital after firefighters battled for 30 minutes to cut her from her car.
Acting Senior Sergeant Brock Davis, of Invercargill, said emergency services were called to the scene of the crash at the crossroads of Motorimu Rd and State Highway 1 shortly before 5pm yesterday.
Mr Davis said a Mitsubishi Galant driven by a 30-year-old man travelling north on the highway and the woman’s southbound Suzuki Alto collided. The man suffered slight injuries in the crash, he said.
Invercargill Passenger Transport Ltd driver Bill McDermott and a busload of New Zealand Aluminium Smelters Ltd workers were first on the scene and alerted emergency services. The scene at the spot was chaotic （混乱的）, Mr McDermott said.
“There was a car on its side and a guy wandering around who was quite hysterical, ” he said. “We stopped, got out and found a lady trapped in her car ... then we noticed flames in the engine bay and the smell of petrol. ” Mr McDermott grabbed a fire extinguisher from the bus, doused （泼洒） the flames, and several other workers controlled traffic.
However, he said his actions were “no big deal”.
“It’s something you do —— you don’t think about it, it’s just something you get out and do, ” he said. “I just hope if I was in the same situation people would do the same for me. I was just worried about that damn thing bursting into flames. ” Mr McDermott said the woman in the car remained calm. “She never panicked one little bit, ” he said. He was reluctant to take any credit for helping the woman.
“The praise goes to all the guys that jumped off that bus.” Invercargill senior station officer Alan Goldsworthy, who was officer in charge at the scene, said there was a possibility the car could have burst into flames if Mr. McDermott and the smelter workers had not helped. “They should acquire a good pat on the back,” he said.
68. The car accident happened ___________.
A. at noon B. at night
C. in the afternoon D. in the morning
69. Who should get the biggest praise according to the reporter?
A. Brock Davis B. Bill McDermott
C. Allan Goldsworthy D. The firefighters
70. Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?
A. The woman driver was driving south before the accident.
B. The first witnesses of the accident were passers-by.
C. The firefighters spent half an hour helping the woman out.
D. The woman driver was very surprised and frightened.
71. The underlined sentence “They should acquire a good pat on the back” in the last paragraph really means ___________.
A. the government should give each of the heroes a gold medal of honour
B. the saved woman should offer as much money to the heroes as she can
C. everybody there should pat the heroes on the back gently and thankfully
D. the good deeds of the heroes are well worthy of great appreciation

OK, so you’ve decided on a career in the media, and you are sick to death with people telling you how competitive the industries are. You know you are going to have to get in any which way you can, and that this will probably mean making tea and photocopying, and you are prepared.
But that may mean that you will find it a little disappointing when you emerge from an environment where your ideas or you have been publishing your own magazines, and enter a place where perhaps no one will ask you your name, or say hello to you in the morning, and where you are being perhaps not paid to do a job.
There are a number of training schemes offered across the media, which are a great route in. Simon Winder was given his start in publishing by the MacMillan’s training scheme. “I was sent out to Africa and Asia for a couple of years, selling educational books. It was a terrible job in many ways but interesting training, ” says Winder. Because he had learnt first-hand about the business of publishing, his training prepared him for a career in the industry. On his return to England, Winder made the move to a senior position at Penguin seven years ago.
If you can’t get on to a training scheme, or get a paid job straight away, then offering your services for free will open up many opportunities to you. It is all about proving that you can do the job. “Identify companies and people whose programmes you like, and then simply write to them, ” Connock advises those wanting to break into television, “Offer to work for free if you possibly can, and the chances are you will impress with your hard work and ideas, and end up staying on in paid employment. That’s how practically every employee of Ten Alps ended up with the company.”
Wherever you start out, if you work hard at what you do, your efforts will be rewarded. “Don’t focus on where you want to end up,” advises Ross, “You’ll know where that is when you’re there; just stay focused on the job in hand, and do that as well as you can.”
72. The main idea of this passage is probably ___________.
A. how to develop a career in the media
B. the difficulties you will face in finding a job in the media
C. the tiring work you have to do at first in the media
D. what low pay you’ll get in the media
73. What did the writer intend to tell us in the second paragraph?
A. No one is willing to speak to you. B. You are the least important person in the unit.
C. You will feel being ignored at the beginning. D. You have to work without pay.
74. The ways you can enter the media include ___________.
A. learning the first hand experience about the business
B. taking part in training schemes or working for it for free
C. studying the companies and people you like
D. showing your ability while you are working
75. As a whole, what attitude should you have while trying to enter the media industry?
A. Watch out for your future career.
B. Pay attention to the relationship between your workmates.
C. Work heart and soul to do your present work well.
D. Find chances to show off your ability.

One possible version:
The story of Hong Zhan-hui, an ordinary college student, has moved China to tears. Over the past 12 year, Hong has managed to support his sick father and his sister, who has no blood relationship with him, by doing various part-time jobs. Now he lives with his 12-year-old sister on campus, taking care of her like a father.
Poverty and suffering should not serve as an excuse for begging for sympathy and help from society. When meeting with difficulties, everyone should face them bravely. Many of us dream of becoming successful people, but no matter what you want to be, start from being an ordinary person, be responsible and struggle hard for what you want.
