During summer vacations, I would volunteer at the vet’s, so I’d seen a lot of dogs. Minnie was by far the funniest-looking dog I’d 36 seen. Thin curly hair barely covered her sausage-shaped body. Her eyes always seemed surprised. And her tail 37 like a rat’s tail.
She was brought to the vet to be put to sleep 38 her owners didn’t want her any more. I thought Minnie had a 39 personality, though. "No one should judge her by her 40 ," I thought. So the vet spayed(切除卵巢) her and gave her the necessary shots. Finally, I 41 Minnie in the local paper: "Funny-looking 42 , well behaved, needs loving family."
When a young man 43 , I warned him that Minnie was strange looking. The boy on the phone told me that his grandfather’s sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted Minnie no matter 44 . I gave Minnie a good 45 and fluffed(抖松) up what was left of her scraggly(零乱的) hair. Then we waited for them to 46 .
At last, an old car 47 in front of the vet’s. Two kids raced to the door. They scooped(抓取) Minnie into their arms and 48 her out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his 49 to Minnie.
50 the car, the grandfather took Minnie in his arms and touched her soft hair. She licked(舔) his face. Her rattail wagged around so 51 that it looked like it might fly off her body. It was 52 at first lick.
"She’s 53 !" the old man exclaimed.
I was thankful that Minnie had found the good 54 that she deserved.
That’s when I saw that the grandfather’s eyes were a milky white color - he was 55 .

第三节.阅读理解(每小题2分,满分40分)
A
The man was shocked. It was as though he had just heard his own sentence of death. For a moment he sat and stared at the spot where the fire had been. Then he grew very calm. Perhaps the old-timer on Sulphur Creek was right. If he had only had a trail-mate he would have been in no danger now. The trail-mate could have built the fire. ____①___Well, it was up to him to build the fire over again, and this second time there must be no failure. Even if he succeeded, he would most likely lose some toes. His feet must be badly frozen by now, and there would be some time before the second fire was ready.
____②____ They were only passing through his mind. He made himself busy all the time. He made a new foundation for a fire, this time in the open, where no treacherous(貌似安全的) tree could blot it out. Next, he gathered dry grasses and tiny twigs from the high-water flotsam. He could not bring his fingers together to pull them out, but he was able to gather them by the handful. In this way he got many rotten twigs and bits of green moss that were undesirable, but it was the best he could do. ___③____He worked methodically, even collecting an armful of the larger branches to be used later when the fire gathered strength. And all the while the dog sat and watched him, a certain yearning wistfulness in its eyes, for it looked upon him as the fire-provider, and the fire was slow in coming.
When all was ready, the man reached in his pocket for a second piece of birch bark. He knew the bark was there, and, though he could not feel it with his fingers, he could hear its crisp rustling as he fumbled for it. Try as he would, he could not catch hold of it. And all the time in his consciousness, was the knowledge that each instant his feet were freezing. ____④_____This thought tended to put him in a panic, but he fought against it and kept calm. He pulled on his mittens with his teeth, and threshed his arms back and forth, beating his hands with all his might against his sides. He did this sitting down, and he stood up to do it; and all the while the dog sat in the snow, its wolf-brush of a tail curled around warmly over its forefeet, its sharp wolf-ears pricked forward intently as it watched the man and the man, as he beat and threshed with his arms and hands, felt a great deal of envy as he regarded the creature that was warm ant secure in its natural covering.
56. Which do you think is the proper place for the following sentence: Such were his thoughts, but he did not sit and think them. ?
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
57. What does the underlined word refer to?
A. nature B. the frost C. the man D. the dog

b. He felt dying when he found the fire out.
c. He reached in his pocket for a second piece of birch bark.
d. He made a new foundation for a fire in the open.
e. He gathered dry grasses and tiny twigs from the high-water flotsam.
A. b-d-e-c-a B. c-d-a-e-b C. d-e-c-a-b D. d-b-c-a-e

A. pitiful B. thoughtful C. calm D. envious

How the iron of tomorrow (the first Self Clean Iron) can change your lifestyle today?
General Electric introduces the iron of tomorrow.The iron can clean itself inside where irons get dirty.Because it cleans itself each and every time you empty it.How? With a push of a magic blue button.
The magic blue button
The first thing you’ll notice that’s different about this iron is the blue button on the side.It’s marked “Self Clean”.Push this blue button, and you can wash out loose mineral deposits(沉淀物) that remain and block up inside.Push this button, and you’ve made life a lot easier.
Less chance of brown spots
Sure, Self Cleaning Iron is going to cut down on brown spots (Those ugly spots that happen on nice, cleanly pressed clothes.) because a Self Cleaning Iron becomes clean each time you press that magic blue button.
Steams better longer
Common sense tells you that if you’ve got an iron that blocks less often it has to stay younger for a long period of time.In other words, it steams better longer.That’s another joy of owning General Electric’s Self Cleaning Iron.
What does it mean to you
Today you are doing so much more than just running a house and running after the kids.You’re working.You’re going to school.It’s all part of your lifestyle.The iron can change that lifestyle by giving you less trouble before you iron.If we can make it easier for you to be a better wife, a better mother, a better house-maker, we want to.The new Self Cleaning Iron is another one of Home-Makers from General Electric.
60. This passage is _______.
A. an introduction to General Electric B. an operating instruction of Self Cleaning Iron
C. an advertisement of Self Cleaning Iron D. a description of the change of lifestyle
61. This iron can clean itself by _______.
A. decreasing brown spots B. washing out mineral deposits

Special trees that grow faster, fight pollution, produce better wood, and even sense chemical attacks are being planted by scientists in the US.
When 40 per cent of Hawaii's US$14 million-a-year papaya (木瓜)industry was destroyed by a virus five years ago, work began on creating genetically engineered trees.
Researchers successfully introduced seeds that were designed to resist the virus. Since then, more and more people have been testing genetically engineered trees.
Some researchers put special bacteria into trees to help them grow faster and produce better wood. Others are trying to create trees that can clean polluted soil.
Meanwhile fruit farmers are looking for trees that are strong enough to resist worms, and paper companies want trees that produce more wood and therefore more paper.
The Pentagon (五角大楼) even gave the researchers US$500,000 this year after they developed a pine tree that changes its colours if it senses a chemical attack.
So far, the poplar, eucalyptus (杨树与桉树), apple and coffee trees are among those being engineered. All this can be done today because we have a better understanding of tree genomes.
However, some people fear that the genetically engineered trees will cause dangerous results. They are worried that the new trees will breed with natural species and change the balance of the forest environment.
"It could be destructive," said Jim Diamond, an environmentalist. "Trees are what is left of our natural environment and home to many endangered species."
But researchers insist that science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.
They hope to answer the critics by stopping the new trees from breeding, so their effect on the environment can be controlled.
64. What trees are NOT the ones that scientists are planting in the US?
A. Trees that worms can't hurt. B. Trees that can protect themselves at a chemical attack.
C. Trees that can resist wind better. D. Trees that can improve soil conditions.
65. What caused the American scientists to work on special trees?
A. They think science could give nature a fighting chance against both natural and man-made dangers.
B. Great numbers of trees have been lost due to attacks by viruses.
C. Researchers successfully introduced seeds designed to resist the virus.
D. Tree genomes are mapped out so scientists know how to improve trees.
66. Which of the following was probably the first kind of trees being engineered?
A. Papaya. B. Pine. C. Apple. D. Poplar.
67. The best title of the passage is .
A. The improvement of environment B. The side-effects of special trees
C. The development of special trees D. the program of genetically engineered trees
D
Marshall Field’s, a department store in Chicago, has long used the motto, “Give the lady what she wants.” Finding out what the customer wants is one of the problems marketing research tries to solve. Marketing research has been defined as trying to analyze marketing problems scientifically. It studies people as buyers and sellers, examining their habits, attitudes, preferences, dislikes, and purchasing power. It often studies specific groups of people, such as teenagers, high-income groups, or senior citizens. Marketing research also investigates distribution systems, pricing, promotion, product design, packaging, brand names, and almost every aspect of the seller-buyer relationship.
Marketing research is divided into a number of sub-areas. Advertising research attempts to find out the effectiveness of advertising. It also seeks to learn the best media for advertising specific products:television, newspapers, radio, magazines, billboards, and others. Market analysis tries to identify and measure markets for specific products and to estimate sales potential. Markets may be differentiated by population groups or by geography. Some types of clothing are more likely to sell in Florida and California than in the northern Midwest. Some cosmetics will appeal more to black customers than to white customers. Performance analysis helps a company learn how well it is meeting its goals of sales and profits. Product research analysis covers the whole area of new-product development. Marketing research is an expensive undertaking, and its costs are built into the prices of products.
68.As far as advertising is concerned, television __________.
A. is the best medium for direct advertising B. is the best medium for indirect advertising
C. is a suitable medium only for certain goods D. is the quickest and cheapest means of advertising
69.Sweaters produced for and sold to young women are examples of market differentiation according to __________.
A. age and education B. population group
C. quality and size D. gender and occupation
70. Performance analysis and product research differ in that __________.
A. the former aims to find out how a goal is met in a more efficient way
B. the former is to find out if the present performance is directed to the goal
C. the latter aims to find out how the present product is marketed
D. the latter aims to find out whether a product is being sold well
71. According to the last paragraph, the cost of marketing research __________.
A. is supplied by the producer and seller together
B. is met by increasing the price of the product
C. is too expensive to be met only by the producer
D. is high but the price of the product should be kept low
E
In bringing up
children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each new skill- the first spoken words,
the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is
often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this
can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This
might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a
young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of
the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too
much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm
for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some
may he especially strict in money matter, others are severe over times of
coming home at night or punctuality(及时)for
meals. In general, the controls imposed(施加的)represent
the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's
own happiness.
As regards the development of
moral standards in the growing child, consistency(一致性)is very important in parental teaching. To
forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality.
Also, parents should realize that example is better than percept (认知)”. If they are not sincere and do not
practise what they preach(说教),
their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old
enough to think for themselves, and realize they have
been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’principles and
their morals can he a dangerous disappointment.
72. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills________.
A. should be avoided B. is universal among parents
C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child D. will make him lose
interest in learning new things
73. In the process of children' s learning new skills parents________.
A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they
read
B. should expect much of them
C. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on
their own.
D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible.
74. The second paragraph mainly tells us that________.
A. parents should be strict with their children
B. parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of
the community
C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for benefit of the
children alone
D. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the
situation
75. In moral matters, parents should________.
A. observe the rules themselves B. be aware of the marked difference between
adults and children
C. forbid things which have no foundation in morality D. consistently ensure
the security of their children

答案及部分试题解析:
第一卷
21.B 该题考查交际用语。get on well表“相处很好”或“进展很好”,常与介词with搭配,故排除C;How do you do是第一次见面时的问候语;虽然How are you?的回答也可用Fine,但题干中强调在学校的学习现状,故选B。
22.B 题干意思为“Mary对George的评价不高,但没有哪一种评价要比George对Mary的评价更坏”。选项处应为George对Mary的评价,为his (opinion)。
23.A stay up表“不睡觉”。
24.C 从by短语可知该处选项部分应为被动结构,所写(科学)小说将被发表,故为不定式的被动式。
25.A average此处表“一般水平”,即“既不好,也不坏,没有什么特别引人入胜之处”。usual表“通常”,normal表“正常,没有出问题”,common表“共同,共有”,这三个词都不符合此处的语境。
26.C help oneself表“自用,自取”,即无需别人服侍。
27.C 该题考查定语从句之中的时态,从题意“十年之前没有人能够想像他们将会有这么大的市场份额”可知该处时态应为过去将来时,C项中的were to have表将来时,故答案为C。
28.C 该题考查冠词的用法。in the position of表“处于某一位置”,parent之后未加“-s”,故用a。
29.D 该题考查反意疑问句中尾句部分的助动词用法,must be结构中的中心词应为be,且He must be in the lab相当于I think he is in the lab,故其尾句部分为isn't he。
30.D 平衡被打破,会产生许多预料不到的影响,“导致,产生”为result in。lie n意为“在于”;call in意为“召,请进来”;take in有“吸收”之意。
31.B unless=if...not。
32.D 由it's not been decided yet可知。
33.D 该题考查时态。表语从句中的主句用进行时态,从句由when引导表“突然发生意料不到的变化”。
34.C so...that引导的结果状语从句。
35.A 该题考查强调句中被强调部分之间的连接词用法辨析。
由句意“是他的演唱方式而不是他的歌声给我印象深刻”可知A为正确选项;as well as,together with两项虽然结构上也对,但不符合题意not exactly so。

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money left. When she heard her daddy say to her 1_ mother with whispered desperation, " 2 a miracle can save him now", the little girl went to her bedroom and took out her piggy bank.

I used to find notes left in the collection basket of the church, beautiful notes about my homilies(讲道)and about the writer’s thoughts on the daily readings. The 1 fascinated (吸引)me. But it was a long time 2 I met the author of the notes.
One Sunday morning, I was 3 that someone was waiting for me in the office, a young woman who said she 4 all the notes. When I saw her I was 5 , since I had no idea that it was she who wrote the notes. She was sitting in a chair in the office. Her 6 was bowed and when she raised it to look at me, she could barely 7 without pain. Her face was disfigured(畸形), so smiling was very 8_ for her.
We 9 for a while that Sunday morning and agreed to meet for lunch later that week.
As it 10 , we went to lunch several times, and we shared things about our 11 . We spoke of authors we were both 12 , and it was easy to tell that 13_are a great love of hers.
She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look 14 . I know that her condition 15 her deeply. Yet there was a beauty to her that had nothing to do with her 16 . She was one to be listened to, whose words came from a wounded 17 loving heart. She possessed a fine tuned sense of beauty. Her only 18 in life was the loss of a friend.
The truth of her life was a desire to see beyond the 19 for a glimpse (瞥)of what it is that matters. She found beauty and grace 20 befriended her and showed her what is real.

When I did know what to say, I always ( 7 ) straight back at him. From that moment on, I ( 8 ) myself to look him in the eye, ( 9 ) I knew the work or not . That trick has( 10 ) me a lot of trouble."

By now you know that getting your money’s worth is not just a matter of luck. It is more often the 1 of buying skill. 2 , even the smartest consumers are sometimes fooled into thinking they are getting their money’s worth 3 they are not. At one time or another, almost everyone experiences a cheat in the marketplace. The cheat may not be 4 . But, intentional or not, any kind of cheat 5 consumer’s pocket books. Some kinds endanger their health and safety as well. 6 , consumers need protection against the marketing of unsafe goods and false or misleading advertising.

In Glasgow, Scotland, a young lady, like a lot of teens today, got tired of home. The daughter objected to her family’s 1 lifestyle and said, “I don’t want your God. I am leaving !”
She left home. Before long, she was disappointed and unable to find a job, so she took to the streets to do everything she could to 2 . Many years passed by, her father died, her mother grew 3 , and the daughter became more and more entrenched (固执) in her way of life.
No contact was made between mother and daughter during these years. The mother, having 4 her daughter’s whereabouts, went to the poor part of the city in 5 of her daughter. She stopped at each of the rescue missions with a simple 6 “Would you allow me to 7 this picture?” It was a picture of the smiling, gray-haired mother with a handwritten 8 at the bottom : “I love you still…come home !”
One day the daughter wandered into a rescue mission for a hot meal. She sat 9 listening to the service, all the while letting her 10 wander over to the bulletin board. There she saw the picture and thought, could that be my mother?
She couldn’t 11 until the service was over. She stood and went to look.It was her mother, and there were those words, “I love you still…come home !” 12 she stood in front of the picture, she wept. It was too 13 to be true.
It was night, but she was so 14 by the message that she started walking home. 15 the time she arrived it was early in the morning. She was afraid and 16 her way timidly. As she knocked, the door 17 open on its own. She thought someone must have broken into the house. Concerned for her mother’s 18 , the young woman ran to the bedroom and shook her mother awake and said, “It’s me ! It’s me ! I’m home!”
The mother couldn’t believe her eyes. They fell into each other’s arms. The daughter said, “I was so worried and 19 someone had broken in.” The mother replied gently, “No, dear. From the day you left, that door has never been 20 .”
