Ive found out what they want and given it to them.When you get a new puppy, like a small baby, its personality is already somewhat established. It may be a “screamer” or a “cuddler (搂抱型)”or a quiet dog or an energetic dog. All puppies need sleep in massive (大量的) quantities. An energetic puppy will run around and suddenly fall down sound asleep. A quieter puppy will start to show signs of tiredness, then find a place to fall asleep. A “screamer” will scream for attention: Puppy cries and yelps（狗吠）, while a quiet puppy will usually give up and accept being put in a box. A “cuddler” will need your body, either your lap or next to you, to sleep soundly.Puppy language is very simple. It is like a babys cries. They cry when they are in need or in pain; in need of company, in need of food, in need of sleep, etc.As your dog grows, you should learn what they are saying to you, as they learn to take their cues(暗示) from you. If you rub（揉） your puppys stomach, and he likes it, he will learn to roll over and “ask” you for a stomach rub. Almost all dogs will “ask” to go out. In some cases, this consists of standing or jumping at a door. If you ignore this request, your dog will make it again, more firmly.21The underlined word “puppy” in Paragraph 2 most probably means a(n)_.Ayoung dog Bsmall baby Cold dog Dbig child22Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AAn energetic puppy is one that runs around and suddenly fall down sound asleep.BA quiet puppy is one that shows signs of tiredness, then finds a place to fall asleep.CA “screamer” is a puppy that cries and yelps.DA “cuddler” will need a box to sleep in.23What does a dog mean by standing or jumping at a door?AHey, you. Im needing a stomach rub. BHey, you. Get off my turf.COh, boy, let me go out. DOh, boy, Im so excited.24The author writes the passage in order to tell us _.Ahis experience of raising dogsBhow he likes to raise dogsCsomething about a dogs language and personalityDdogs are very cleverBIt was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling(蜷缩) together on the top step.“Any old papers, lady？” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.“Come in and Ill make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？”“Am I rich? Pity, no！”I looked at my wornout slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.25.

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?AThe writer had thought she wasnt rich because her supplies were not expensive.BThe girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy.CIf cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap.DAfter hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was.27.

His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift$7,000, a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under financially（金融地，经济地）,” says Dave.But the Fusses werent the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive the unexpected legacy from the Hatches.

It was the Hatches wish that their legacya legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and centsshould enrich the whole community and last for generations to come.Neighbors helping neighborsthat was Ish and Arlene Hatchs story.29According to the text, the Fusses _.Awere employed by a truck companyBwere in financial difficultyCworked in a school cafeteriaDlost their home30Which of the following is true of the Hatches?AThey had their children during the Great Depression.BThey left the family farm to live in an old house.CThey gave away their possessions to their neighbors.DThey helped their neighbors to find jobs.31Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store?AThey decided to open a store.BThey wanted to save money.CThey couldnt afford expensive things.DThey wanted to buy gifts for local kids.32What can we learn from the text?AThe community of Alto was poor.BThe summer camp was attractive to the parents.CSandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches.DThe Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their example.DCanadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize. Munro didnt publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns. Even though shes won Canadas most famous literary award, the Giller Prize twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the peak of Munros career. “It brings her incredible recognition (认可), both of her and her career, and of the dedication (奉献) to the short story,” said one person. Along with the well-respected title comes 1.3 million dollars. Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way.” Munro knew she was in the listshe was named the second-most likely person to win this years prize, after Haruki Murakami (村上春树）of Japanbut she never thought that she would win. Munros win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come. “When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world. Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday. She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is. In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize. Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer. “This is a win for us all. Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor. “But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag.” She wasnt sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to be successful. But this may change my mind.” 33. For Munro, the Nobel Prize is a prize for_. A. her love for Canadian culture B. her contribution to the short story C. her special form of writing D. her career of editing short stories 34. What can you infer from the sixth paragraph? A. Canadian writers have long been ignored. B. Canadian writers were respected across the globe. C. Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize. D. Canadians come a long way to win the prize. 35. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize B. An introduction to the Nobel Prize in Literature C. Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize in Literature D.
