BA college student who was harassed(骚扰）by two men while spending her holiday in Crete, Greece, has spent thousands of dollars to adopt the dog that saved her from the attack.25-year-old Georgia Bradley says she was approached by two men on the beach. After she refused to go “have a drink” with them, one of the men grabbed(抓住) her by the arm.To her surprise, a stray dog(流浪狗）suddenly appeared and didnt stop barking at the pair. The small, black dog stood by Bradleys side until the men walked away.Bradley, who has decided to name the dog Pepper, told The Herald: “she saved me. Pepper shot out of nowhere, jumped up at me and began barking and licking(轻拍) my hand, and that made the men think twice. She must have noticed something was wrong. When I went back to the apartment she followed me and finally let me move our hands gently over her. We had an instant bond. When I got home, I couldnt stop thinking about her, so I took the soonest flight back that I could, which was two weeks later.”Bradley would fly over 6,000 miles back and forth to the Greek island over a period of five weeks searching for the dog. “It was a real risk because we may never have found her again. But when we saw Pepper on the beach, it was the best feeling ever.” Pepper was given a pet passport. After adopting Pepper, she flew her home to the UK. Pepper then had a further surprise for her owner, as she gave birth to six puppies.“It has been such a crazy journey，” Bradley added. “But I am over the moon.”24.

She was gentle and friendly to everyone.C. She was once trained to help strangers.D. She took the responsibility to take care of the tourists on the beach.27. Which of the following could be the best title of the text?A. A Stray Dog in GreeceB. A Holiday Girl Saves a Stray Dog That Saves HerC. A British Tourist Spending a Holiday in GreeceD. A Girl Spending Thousands to Adopt a DogCThe pursuit(追求) of happiness can be a lifelong search for somebut researchers believe they may have found a key factor(因素) in feeling a greater overall sense of well-being(happiness).Nottingham Trent University researchers found that the more an individual identified with(与产生共鸣）a particular group, such as family, in their local community or through hobby, the happier they were with their life.“Our findings suggest that thinking more about ones group life could have significant(显著的) benefits for an overall sense of well-being.” said Dr Juliet Wakefield, a psychologist at Nottingham Trent University.“We tend to identify with groups that share our values, interests and life priorities, as well as those that support us in times of crisis(危机), and we can see how this would be linked to happiness. Our work taps into(挖掘）knowledge that is deep within all of us, but which we often forget due to the fast-paced and achievement-focused nature of modem lifeto be your best self, you are likely to require the support of others. ”They studied how 4,000 participants felt connected to certain groups, and then measured the influence this had upon their levels of happiness. Its important to note that identifying with a group isnt the same as membership, though. You can be a member of a group with which you feel no connection at all. Its that subjective(主观的) sense of belonging thats important for happiness.Health care professionals should encourage people to join groups that they are interested in, or which promote their values and ideals, as well as advising people to maintain association with groups they already belong to. Simple social interventions(干预）such as this could in turn help to reduce health care expenses and prevent future ill health.28. According to the passage, who are much happier?A. People who feel a strong sense of belonging to a group.B. People who gain membership of many social groups.C. Individuals who have happy families.D. Individuals who have many hobbies.29. What do people tend to forget in Juliets view?A. They should connect with people who have the similar interest.B. Happiness is of the same importance as work.C. They live a busy and stressful life.D. They need others support to improve themselves.30. What does the underlined word “ this ” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Prevention of future ill health. B. Reduction of health care expenses.C. Health care experts encouragement and advice. D. Promotion of peoples values and interests.31. What is the text mainly about?A. The secret to happinessB.Thesearch for happinessC. The nature of happinessD.Theattitude to happinessDThere are two types of people in this world: those who regularly wash their office coffee cup. And those who only take it off their desk to cover up the coffee mark at the bottom with a fresh pour(倾倒), driving away their shame with the reasoning that the heat must kill the bacteria(细菌) or spine thing.Depending on which type of person you are, this will be either mildly annoying or more-than-mildly exciting. As Heidi Mitchell wrote in a recent Wall Street Journal column, its fine to never wash your cup, as long as youre not sharing it with anybody else.There are two warnings to that statement, infectious(传染的)-disease expert Jeffrey Starke, a professor at Baylor College of Medicine, told Mitchell: One, it only applies if youre not sharing the cup with anybody else. And two , if you leave cream or sugar in your cup over the weekend, that can certainly cause mold(霉) to grow in which case, wash it out.Otherwise, though, theres not really much to worry about. “If I went and cultured the average unwashed coffee cup, of course I would find bacteria.” Starke said. “But remember the vast majority came from the person who used the cup.” Even if you drink from it while sick, its pretty hard to re-infect yourself with the same cup; most viruses dont live long outside the body, which means that just letting your cup live in its own dirt may be a safer bet than the alternative(选择); cleaning it with the disgusting(令人厌恶的) sponge(海绵) in the office kitchen “Then sponge in the break room probably has the highest bacteria count of anything in the office.” Starke said. If the idea of not washing horrifies(terrifies) you , just stick the sponge in the microwave before using. Otherwise, though, feel free to continue your lazy ways without guilt.32. What does the passage intend to tell us? A. It is harmful to drink coffee with sugar. B. The hot water contributes to the bacteria growing.C. Its okay not to wash your coffee cup regularly.D. Drinking from unwashed coffee cups causes diseases easily.33. What do we know from Starkes words? A. The coffee cup in the office must be put in the microwave to clean. B. Its easy to get infested if you often use the same unwashed cup.C. Its a good way to grow bacteria in an unwashed cupD. The coffee cup shouldnt be shared in the office.34. What does “your lazy ways” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Leaving your coffee cup unwashed. B. Sticking the sponge in the microwaveC. Using Paper cups only in the office. D. Cleaning your coffee cup with sponge.35. Where does the passage probably come form?A. A travel brochure. B. A science magazine. C. An official statement. D. An entertainment program.第二节（ 共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分 ）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Four reasons why change is good for you We all know that change is hard because your brain is used to doing the same thing over and over again. 36 But the positive consequence(result) is really great. Here are four reasons why change is good for you: 37 Life in the comfort zone is easy. You simply follow a routine and you can predict the consequences. Outside of the comfort zone， your thoughts are challenged. The idea of doing the same thing over and over without question is discouraged. You get to experience more. 38 When you look back on your life, all of the really amazing things are because of a new experience you had. All of those vacations you took and all of the people you met have taught you more than you ever learned in school. These experiences now make up who you are today. Youll be more flexible(灵活的) and adaptable. Without doubt, change makes you more flexible and adaptable. You learn to deal with things in a way that seems foreign but acceptable and achievable. 39 You begin to thrive（茁壮成长）in new situations because you have proven to yourself that you can, not only handle change, but flourish(茁壮成长). You have more fun. When you are open to change, you are open to saying YES to more. You are open to more experiences and opportunities (chances). 40 When you add all of these things together, you are going to have a more colorful life and youll have a ton of fun figuring it all out along the way-theres no doubt about it AYou are pushed out of your comfort zone.BExperience is waiting for you at the doorstep. CYou have the opportunity to meet more people too. DWhether the change is good or bad for you, it does happen. EWe also know how challenging it can be to go through change. FThen youll be more confident when in the next uncomfortable situation.GChange is good because you have the chance to involve in new experiences.第三部分 英语知识应用 （共三节，共45分）第一节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。A teacher in a high school had a husband who died suddenly of a heart attack.

We must make it important to notice them, for at any time, it can all be 54.”The whole class was quiet. We all picked up our books and went out of the room 55. That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home 56 I had that whole term. Every once in a while, I think of that 57 and remember what an impression she made on all us, and I try to 58 all of those things that sometimes we all 59 .
