It means Americans love their pets.And they provide them with a proper home, food, exercise, and medical care.Americans love pets and it is not just puppy love. Sometimes, they add to their interest to their pets with entertaining videos and amusing toys.If they have an eye for fashion, pets owners can dress their pets in pretty clothes.For special occasions, they can use perfume to make their dogs smell nice or less basely. You might see Americans treat their pets like they treat their children, sometimes even better. The most common pets in the US are dogs, cats, birds and fish. Pets, such as dogs and cats, make good companions. But in addition to providing good companionship, pets are useful too. For example, dogs guard property, heard cattle and sheep, and lead the blind.Monkeys, unusual pets in the US, will soon become useful pets for disabled persons.Scientists are now training monkeys to help disabled persons do some simple tasks, such as eating, cleaning the house and even changing the channel on the TV set.第二部分阅读理解(满分40分，限时35分钟)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AHere are some music festivals that you might be interested in.BoogieTallarook, VIC (2628 March)Boogie is definitely kidfriendly, but with a few rules.Kids are welcome, but need to be fully supervised (监督) at all times and out of the licensed area by 10 pm.Kids under 8 years old are admitted for free.Kids between 8 and 16 get in cheaper.There are some activities for kids and a great kidfriendly area.Splendour in the GrassByron Bay, NSW (2426 July)Look, Splendour can be pretty crazy, so if you and your kids are out of practice with handling festivals and the stress they can sometimes bring, maybe you should try starting smaller.But if you feel like you can do it, then your kids are welcome to hit Splendour with you.The usual rules apply youll need to have them with you at all times if they are under 16 and they cant go into bars.If the child is under 11, then they will get in for free.The Gum BallHunter Valley, NSW (2224 April)We didnt originally include the Gum Ball because they took last year off and we wanted to make sure they were definitely returning.Not because we have anything against them.On the contrary, they are one event that manages to balance brilliant music and a familyfriendly vibe (氛围)Bellingen TurtlefestBellingen (30 September2 October)Great music for a great cause.Bellingen Turtlefest has been set up to raise funds and awareness for the critically endangered Bellinger River Snapping Turtle, while giving families a chance to enjoy some great music at the same time.Theres a kidzone, sideshows, workshops and markets, but also an education centre and some guest speakers so that the kids (and you) can learn a thing or two while youre at the event.21If a 10yearold goes to Boogie, he/she _.Adoesnt have to pay for admissionBmust stay with an adult all the timeCmust leave the licensed area by 11 pmDcannot find a great kidfriendly area there解析：选B细节理解题。由Boogie部分中的“Kids are welcome, but need to be fully supervised at all times and out of the licensed area by 10 pm.”可知，十岁的孩子需要始终有大人陪伴。22Which of the following festivals failed to be included in the beginning?ABoogie.BSplendour in the Grass.CThe Gum Ball. DBellingen Turtlefest.解析：选C细节理解题。由The Gum Ball部分中的“We didnt originally include the Gum Ball”可知，最初没有列入名单的音乐节是The Gum Ball。23If you want to know about endangered turtles, when should you go to the festival?AFrom 26 March to 28 March.BFrom 24 July to 26 July.CFrom 22 April to 24 April.DFrom 30 September to 2 October.解析：选D细节理解题。由Bellingen Turtlefest部分中的30 September2 October以及“Bellingen Turtlefest has been set up to raise funds and awareness for the critically endangered Bellinger River Snapping Turtle”可知，应选D项。24What do the festivals have in common?ATheyre all free for kids under 11.BTheyre all held in the summertime.CTheyre all suitable for the whole family.DTheyre all concerned with wildlife.解析：选C推理判断题。由文章内容可知，这四个音乐节都适合全家人一起去，故选C项。BThe most common advice we receive when were depressed or sad is NOT to listen to sad songs.The reason is that sad songs will make us think of our pain, and we feel more depressed.But then, there are others who feel that listening to sad songs helps them ease the pain.There are latest studies that show that listening to sad songs is helpful as well.According to a study carried out by Dr.Stephen Palmer of the University of California, Berkeley, if exposed to music thats in line with our current emotions (当前的情感), we feel an instant connection with it.The connection helps us come out of our situation better than taking advice from a friend.A friend, in such times, will only advise you, or worst, become judgmental about the situation.You dont wish to listen to advice that would actually make you think too much when in tears, do you? You simply want someone to understand your situation, and sad songs do just that.Listening to sad songs during times of sadness is similar to having a friend who will understand all your emotions.The feelings you were unable to explain to your near and dear ones were easily put to words by these songs.Additionally, when you sit quietly with your earphones plugged in, listening to sad music, you may feel tears rolling down your face.Once youre done with releasing all these emotions, youll feel better.In summary, sad songs, contrary to the popular belief, help in curing a broken heart.Even if you arent in such a depressing situation, youll still enjoy listening to these songs.Sad songs have a comforting rhythm and tone, which help you relax.You, in fact, appreciate the efforts of the singers who lend their voice to these songs.Even though the emotions in these songs may be of the sad type, the calmness in them surely relaxes you.语篇解读：本文是说明文。研究表明，心情不好的时候听悲伤歌曲对改善我们的心情是有帮助的。25What do most people tend to think of sad music?AThey are boring. BThey are relaxing.CThey are negative. DThey are inspiring.解析：选C推理判断题。由第一段“The most common advice we receive when were depressed or sad is NOT to listen to sad songs.The reason is that sad songs will make us think of our pain, and we feel more depressed.”可推知，多数人认为悲伤歌曲很消极。26What music should you listen to in order to improve your mood in Dr.Stephen Palmers opinion?ASongs matching your emotions.BSongs sounding beautiful.CYour favorite songs.DHappy songs.解析：选A细节理解题。由第二段“.if exposed to music thats in line with our current emotions, we feel an instant connection with it.The connection helps us come out of our situation better than taking advice from a friend.”可知，Dr.Stephen Palmer认为我们应该选择听与我们心情相匹配的歌曲。27Why can sad songs make us feel better?AThey remind us of good times.BThey release our negative emotions.CThey keep our bad feelings in control.DThey take our attention away from worries.解析：选B细节理解题。由第三段“.you may feel tears rolling down your face.Once youre done with releasing all these emotions, youll feel better.”可知，听悲伤歌曲因为能释放我们的情感所以给我们好的感觉。28What is stressed about sad music in the last paragraph?AWhen it should be enjoyed.BHow it should be chosen.CWhat effects it has on us.DWhy it can work for us.解析：选D段落大意题。该段首先总结上文说听悲伤歌曲是有益的，然后重点写为什么会有益。CIll never forget a bright January morning when I landed in San Francisco from Santa Barbara, just in time to see my connecting flight to Osaka take off.I hurried to the nearest airline counter to ask for help, and was told that Id have to wait 24 hours, at my own expense, for the next days flight.The airline wasnt responsible for fogrelated delays, a gate agent declared.Millbrae, California, the drivethrough town surrounding San Franciscos airport, is known as a place to fly away from, at high speed.An unexpected delay is what nobody wants on his trip.But what I found, as I reserved a room at an airport hotel, and walked out into the winter sun, was that nowhere can have grace notes that anywhere would envy.It was a cloudless, warm afternoon as a bus deposited me in Millbrae.Locals were taking their dogs for walks along the bay while couples wandered hand in hand beside a square of blue.I checked in to my hotel and registered (注意到) another advantage of nowhere: Nobody knew I was here, and there was nothing I had to do.So I ordered a salad from room service and then noticed that The American, a movie Id longed to see, was available on TV.After the movie, I went for a walk and down the road, finding myself caught up in the last dramatic seconds of a football playoff game on a giant screen.Heart still pounding as the players rushed around the field, I stepped out again, walked along the water, and saw yellow arrows pointing to the finest burgers in the West.My dinner at InNOut cost me all of $4.27.And as I made my way back to my hotel, lights began to come on in the hills, and I realized Id never seen a sight half so lovely in noisy Osaka.If my trip had gone according to plan, Id have missed all of these blessings!29What do we know about the flight delay from the first paragraph?AIt was something the airline paid for.BIt was a welcome event to passengers.CIt was caused by mechanical errors.DIt increased passengers spending.解析：选D推理判断题。由第一段中的“Id have to wait 24 hours, at my own expense, for the next days flight.The airline wasnt responsible for fogrelated delays, a gate agent declared.”可知，因为航班延误产生的费用由旅客自行承担。30What might the lifestyle of the local people in Millbrae be like?ASlow. BInactive.CNoisy. DStressful.解析：选A推理判断题。由第三段中的“Locals were taking their dogs for walks along the bay while couples wandered hand in hand beside a square of blue.”可推知，当地人的生活方式是慢节奏。31Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AAn adventurous hike in a townBThe joys of an unexpected tripCA challenging but joyful flightDAn annoying fogrelated delay解析：选B标题归纳题。作者因为航班延误不得不在Millbrae待了24小时，在此期间，他意外地发现了这里许多美好的事物，由此作者感悟到：不做任何准备的意外之旅会让你感到很惬意。故B项作标题更符合文章主旨。DDo you fear criticism？If you do, you may want to avoid it.But there will always be those who criticize.Too much or too little, they will never be satisfied.Sometimes, even your friends get
