But he was well-trained and polite, so the couple guessed that he had been a member of another family and most likely had a name. “I kept trying to figure his name out, Cary said. “I would sit around with the dog and bring up names like Rover and Blackie, just to see if we might get lucky.”Nothing worked until the day that Cary, who is Cuban (古巴人), began saying traditional Hispanic (西班牙) names. “One day I was sitting in the living room with my husband, and the dog was lying on the couch.” Cary recalled. “A sudden thought hit me and I said, Pepe, and the dog jumped off the couch and came over to where I was sitting. My husband and I looked at each other and said, No way! ”They waited a few minutes and tried again with the same result. Cary then told Pepe to “sientate”, a command that the dog had always ignored in English. Pepe sat right down, happy as could be. “I started going through the basic commands in Spanish, and Pepe knew all of them,” Cary said. “I wish I could have taken a picture of his face. He was so happy.”Cary had already formed a relationship with Pepe before realizing what his name was, which shows that language wasnt a barrier (障碍) to a strong human-animal relationship. But Cary and Mike use the Spanish language to deepen their relationship with Pepe. Though the dog now knows commands in English, too, Cary says that he is more likely to respond to Spanish.Of course, using words to communicate with a dog is silly; whats important is the love behind those words.21. Why didnt the dog react to Cary at the beginning?A. He didnt like Cary.B. He missed his precious owner.C. He couldnt get used to his new family.D. He couldnt understand English.22. What did Cary try to do to make the dog respond to her at first?A. Train him in English. B. Try to find his real name.C. Sit with the dog and play with him. D. Take pictures of him.23. What happened when the dog heard “Pepe” the second time?A. He ignored it. B. He sat down.C. He lay on the couch. D. He came close to Cary.24. “Slentate is _.A. Spanish for “come here” B. Spanish for “sit down”C. a dogs name in SpanishD. a way of saying “hello” in SpanishB Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a walk away from your college. Kings Art Centre A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists. You could attend a class teaching you how to “learn from the masters” or get more creative with paintfree of charge. The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee. The Botanic Garden The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University. The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss. Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals. The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called “Hissing Sid” is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun. Byrons Pool Many stories surround Lord Byrons time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. Im not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village. It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byrons Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you dont trust me, then perhaps youll take it from Virginia Woolf over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool. 25. As is mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for _. A. attending the masters class B. working with local artists C. learning life drawing D. seeing an exhibition26. “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are _. A. common insects B. impressive plants C. rarely-seen snakes D. wildlife lovers27. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed _. A. to fear pet bears B. to like walking C. to be a heavy drinker D. to finish university in 180528. What is the passage mainly about? A. Some places for weekend break. B. A way to become creative in art.C. The colorful life in the countryside. D. Unknown stories of Cambridge University.CWith flags waving from homes, buildings and cars, its not surprising that people have an interest in the creation of the first American flag.Betsy Ross came from a large family, living in Philadelphia in the 1700s. Like most children in large families, she was expected to take part in helping the family financially. Her role was to make and sell the little white caps worn by many girls at that time. Betsy always put a unique design on each cap. It was considered something of a status (地位) symbol for girls to wear a cap designed and made by Betsy.In 1773 she married a man called John Ross. And two years later they opened an upholstery (家居) shop in Philadelphia. This was the year the Revolutionary War started.One day in June 1776, General George Washington went to her shop. “Betsy, Ive heard youre the best person at needlework in all of Philadelphia,” he said. He asked Betsy if she was willing to sew a flag that would visually represent (代表) their new nation. Betsy agreed, but after carefully examining the rough sketch (草图) that Washington showed her, she offered a few.“I notice you want 13 six-pointed stars on that blue field in the corner,” she said. “They of course represent our 13 colonies (殖民地). Thats fine, but I think it would look better if they were five-pointed stars. Also, I dont think it should be a square flag as youve shown on your sketch. A rectangular (长方形的) shaped flag would look better when the wind spreads it at the top of flag poles.”Washington thought for a moment and then agreed with Betsy. “Follow my basic design as Ive sketched out here, but combine your ideas. I think that will improve it.”Two days later, Washington picked up the new flag. He was happy with what he saw. Soon, that flag design was flying high throughout the colonies.The following year, in 1777, Congress declared this flag design to be the official flag of the United States of America.29. What can we learn about Betsy Ross from the article?A. She was born in a rich family. B. She was very good at needlework.C. She was forced to sell caps to help support her family.D. She and her husband opened a shop after the Revolutionary War ended.30. What did George Washington ask Betsy Ross to do?A. To sew a flag representing the new nation.B. To design a flag representing the new nation.C. To change the design of the formal flag.D. To give some suggestions about the design of a flag.31. We can learn from the passage that _.A. the Revolutionary War started in 1773B. Betsy Ross thought six-pointed stars would look better than five-pointed starsC. girls were proud to wear a cap designed and made by Betsy RossD. there were 13 stars in the middle of the flag32. What is the text mainly about?A. The life story of Betsy Ross. B. The creation of the first American flag.C. The design work of Betsy Ross. D. The meaning of the American flag.DThe first Europeans came to America in 1492 with Christopher Columbus. Since that time people have come to America from all over the world, from Europe, Africa, and Asia, and they have brought their music with them. This mixing of people and music has created American music.Music is a very important part of our lives. Music is for dancing, drinking, eating, loving and thinking. Some songs remind us of our childhood or youth. Others remind of the people we love. Many important occasions, like weddings and funerals (葬礼) have special music. Every nation has a national song like the American “The Star-Spangled Banner”. In the U.S., high schools and colleges have school songs too.Music is a part of the history of America. It expresses the problems and feelings of its people. As the years pass, the music grows and changes.Modern science has also changed music. Inventions like records, radios, movies, electric instruments, tape recorders, and videos have changed the way we play and listen to music. They have helped to make music an important form of international communication.American music, from the earliest folk songs to modern “pop”, is known around the world. Music is one of Americas most important exports. It brings the people of the world together. Even when people cannot understand the same language, they can share the same music. Many people learn and practice English by singing songs, and understanding American music can help you understand American people, their history and culture. So, as the song says, “put a dime (10 cents) in the juke box (自动点唱机), baby. Lets listen to the music!”33. The article mainly tells us about _.A. how American music developedB. when American music developedC. what American music isD. why American music is so popular34. From the text we know that _.A.

American music is _.A. for dancing, drinking, eating, loving and shoppingB. a mixture of people and music from all over the worldC. Americans most important exportD. a part of the history of the worldEThe demands of the modern world are growing day by day and this is putting more pressure on scientists to do research. However, as stated by Griffiths, “There is no hope of doing perfect research”. Naturally, there have been a lot of criticisms (批评), as many scientists immediately announce that their research methods are very safe and that they have the perfect research theory (理论).However, scientific history is filled with examples, in which a perfect scientific solution that was based on decades of scientific research has been overturned (推翻) with new theories. Naturally the first example that comes to mind is the fact that Newtons Theories were thought to be very safe and they were used in all fields of science. For centuries, thousands of scientists around the world used Newtons Theories to formulate (规划) other theories.However, after nearly two centuries of use, Newtons Theories were found to be not as perfect as they were thought. Through Einsteins publication on the General Theory of Relativity, it was found that Newtons laws were imperfect in explaining all motions (运动) that were taking place in our universe. It was found to be imperfect under some conditions, even though, Newtons laws are still used today to predict motion at low speeds.Thus, perfect research is only a myth (神话). Of course, this does not mean that a scientist should simply give up and accept imperfection in his or her research efforts. Improvements and changes in research techniques and methods are a natural part of evolution (进化) and it is each scientists responsibility to take it forward as much as possible.While the final answer to the universes questions may never exist, a time will come when there will be fewer questions as new answers are found and more improved research is carried out by scientists around the world.37. Why have there been a lot of criticisms?A. The modem world demands more and more.B. Scientists have a negative attitude.C. Many scientists arrive at their conclusions (结论) too fast.D. Griffiths does not believe what scientists say.38. Through the publication of the General Theory of Relativity, Newtons Theories turned out to be _.A. not so perfect B. completely wrongC. very safe D. very exact39. What will scientists do to deal with the “imperfectness” problem?A. Accept the fact and give up.B. Improve and change their methods and techniques.C. Try their best to carry out the perfect study.D. Ignore it and do as they please.40. We can learn from the last paragraph that _.A. the universes questions are sure to have a final answerB. the number of questions is sure to increase with the passing of timeC. scientists are carrying out improved studies D. there will be more scientists in the world in the future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。（注意：此题答案涂在答题卡上。1、如果所选择的答案为A、B、C或D，直接涂该题所对应的位置；2、如果所选择的答案为E,请在该题所对应的答题卡上涂两个字母A和B; 3、如果所选择的答案为F,请在该题所对应的答题卡上涂两个字母A和C; 4、如果所选择的答案为G，请在该题所对应的答题卡上涂两个字母A和D。）Do you know that the New Years Eve party is going on when the bell rings? 41 If so, please take the following advice.New Years Eve party food should be simple. 42 Instead, serve a range of simple finger food and other items that can be made ahead.
