But the truth is that some of them have instincts, and besides this, I am sure they can feel certain things we humans cannot. A personal experience showed me this.Some years ago, I had a dog named Howard. From the time when he was a puppy, he was timid, so we named him Howard, sounding like “coward”! He was especially afraid of thunderstorms. At the first flash of lightning or crash of thunder, he would run whining into his house and hide under a table.I often went for a walk with Howard. Once, as we were walking along a road, it began to rain. I quickly ran to a bus stop for shelter. The bus stop had a roof supported by metal poles. Soon after I had got there, Howard caught my trousers in his teeth and tried to pull me away. At first I was puzzled and a little angry at his behavior. But I decided to humor him and walked away from the shelter into the rain and started to go home. When I was about two hundred metres from the shelter, there came a flash of lightning and soon after, there was thunder which nearly deafened me. Howard stopped walking and began whining. Thinking he was afraid, I bent to pick him up. As I straightened up, I glanced at the bus shelter we had just left. I was shocked to see that two of the poles were bent and the roof was lying on the ground, broken. The shelter had been struck by the bolt of lightning!24. The author named his dog Howard mainly because of_.A. his timid characteristicB. one of the authors friends HowardC. his loud sound D. his strange behaviors25. The reason why the author was puzzled and angry with the dog was that .A. Howard had a strange behaviorB. Howard should be afraid of the metal polesC. Howard should know the approaching of the terrible lightningD. Howard bit his trousers in his teeth 26. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Dogs are cleverer and better than men.B. Dogs are usually afraid of thunderstorms.C. Some animals can feel certain things humans cannot.D. Dogs are naturally born heroes.27. What can be inferred about the bus shelter from the passage?A. It was about 200 meters from the authors home.B. It was destroyed in a rainy day.C. Its roof was supported by wood poles.D. It could produce lightning.CAre you good with money? I learned to be careful with it during my childhood. My father would give me some pocket money and tell me it should last for a whole week. So, I learned I had to save some if I didnt want to run out of cash quickly. No surprise there: my dad was an accountant!Its never too early to become money savvy. Thats what British personal finances expert Martin Lewis thinks. He is part of a successful campaign to include financial education on the school lessons in England. It will be planted in maths and citizenship education. This includes children from 5 to 16 years old. Lewis says: “We eagerly need to break the cycle of financial illiteracy(无知) in the UK” Lewis has made millions from his website which advises people to be saving and refuses any suggestion that he is tight. The expert says in an interview with the English newspaper the Daily Express: “The better you are with your cash, the better your life can be. People think I am telling them to stop spending money but I am simply telling them to spend it wisely.” The British say take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves. It means you have to watch your daily expenses and not just the big purchases in your life such as houses.Being careful with money pays off. Banks in Britain recently found themselves having to make up for a large number of people who were persuaded to part with their cash and buy insurance policies (保单)they didnt need. Many wasted their money on investments(投资) which were not for them. Few have the patience to read the small print.28. The underlined words “money savvy” in Paragraph 2 refers to _. A. a person who is crazy about money B. a person who is good with money C. a person who is careless with money D. a person who has nothing to do with money29. Whats Martin Lewis attitude towards becoming money savvy? A. Its no good. B. It is never too late. C. The earlier, the better.D. Its not helpful.30. What do we know about Martin Lewis from Paragraph 2? A. Martin Lewis is a maths teacher good at financial education. B. Martin Lewis is a successful personal finances expert. C. Martin Lewis is an expert making his fortune in interviews. D. Martin Lewis is careful with his pennies in purchasing houses.31. What do we learn from the last paragraph? A. Banks in Britain were eager to have people part with their cash. B. Buying insurance policies means you are careful with money. C. People are unwilling to spend their money on some investments. D. People are easy to miss the small print on insurance policies.DThe moment Dana stood up from her seat, the crowd at the airport rushed forward. The passengers had been waiting for a couple of hours for an airline employee to open the door leading to the plane outside. And no one was in a good mood. While the crowd was moving, an old man got trapped in the middle of the rush. He fell down without being able to break his fall. His head hit the concrete floor. Blood flooded from his forehead. He appeared to be unconscious. Everyone rushed past him, except for Dana. She called for help.A minute later, a young airline employee showed up.

Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isnt difficult. 37 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way. 38 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that youre standing at the oceans edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isnt fresh. 39 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, youd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you dont cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isnt as tasty as the fresh one.There are many common methods used to cook fish. 40 First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices（调料）. Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, its ready to serve.A. Do not buy it.B. The easiest is to steam it.C. This is how you can do it.D. It just requires a little knowledge.E. The fish will go bad within hours.F. When buying fish, you should first smell it.G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）Fathers DayFathers Day is a fairly new celebration in the British calendar compared with Mothers Day, which has been a very popular and well celebrated festival in the UK for a very long time. Fathers Day was first celebrated by Americans 41 it was inspired by the actions of a man named William Smart.

Britain took the idea of Fathers Day from the American celebration and it has been celebrated 51 since the 1970s. Fathers Day is never quite such a big commercial event 52 Mothers Day is, probably because it hasnt been in 53 for so long. But what do British people do for Fathers Day? Well, most people would buy their fathers a card. The card would probably have nice message in it 54 what a great Dad their father is. Some people do buy presents as well. 55 gifts for Dads are probably ties, chocolates or socks because there are things that Dads can 56 use even if they dont want them. In the run-up to Fathers Day, or indeed Mothers Day, there will be advertisements on TV giving 57 ideas of CDs or gadgets(小玩意) we can buy. Card shops will be full of mugs or pens and similar goods with “ Worlds Greatest Dad” 58 on them. Some families 59 do things together to celebrate Fathers Day like going for a meal. As a special treat, British people might give their Dad a bit of a rest, 60 him a cup of tea, or even wash his car and mow the lawn to make him feel really appreciated.41. A. and B. so C. orD. but42.
