I think it ate the ring up.” He told a newspaper by telephone from his hospital as he recalled his struggle with a man-eating animal.“I took my horse for an evening swim in one of the farm dams. There are lots of crocodiles and hippos (河马)in the area and they move around all the time, from dam to dam and into the river and out again. I was on the lookout for hippos and didnt see any. It slipped my mind that there might be crocodiles,” he said.He was standing in the water about 5 meters away from the shore when he felt a biting jolt (摇晃）in his left hip. He thought it was a hippo but quickly realized it was a crocodile.“I started to fight immediately. I hit the crocodile with my left arm and then it went for my left forearm. It pulled me under the water for a few seconds. I realized if I didnt stand up my wife would never find me again. What I didnt realize at the time was that the crocodile let me go because it had taken part of my left arm off,” said Pieter.With his right arm, Pieter then grabbed the rope of his horse, which took him to safety. He walked 200 meters to his house and his wife took him to the nearest hospital.“Im lucky I didnt lose too much blood. The biggest problem with a crocodile bite is that it can be septic (受感染的). Crocodiles never brush their teeth.” said Pieter.25. Which of the following best describes Pieter when he fought with the crocodile?A. Regretful. B. Frightened. C. Clear-headed. D. Thoughtful.26. Pieter came across a crocodile when he _.A. was looking for hipposB. was swimming in the damC. was looking out for dangerD. was struggling in the water27. Why did the crocodile leave Pieter?A. It had taken his wedding ring.B. It had been badly hurt.C. It had found many hippos. D. It had got part of his left arm. C Cold weather can hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When youre cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pets water. Sometimes owners dont realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet cant get anything to drink. Animals that dont have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.28. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A. They are often forgotten by their owners.B. They are used to living outdoors.C. They build their own shelter.D. They like to stay in warm places.29. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A. To know when to bring them inside.B. To keep them from eating bad food.C. To help them find shelters.D. To keep them pany.30. If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may _.A. run short of clean waterB. dig deep holes for funC. dirty the snow nearbyD. get lost in the wild31. What is the purpose of this text?A. To solve a problem.B. To give practical advice.C. To tell an interesting story.D. To present a research result.DIt seems hard to watch someone yawn（打哈欠）and not to yawn ourselves. Even reading about yawning can make you do it. Now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.Yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. Kids dont develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. Kids with autism （自闭症） are less likely to catch yawns. In the most serious cases, they never do. Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people municate and connect.“Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together,” said Molly Helt, a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut. “Yawning may be part of that.” Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. She repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. He never did.“The fact that autistic kids dont do it might mean theyre really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them, ” she said. “The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we bee humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others, she added. Autistic people never seem to understand that.”Like infectious（有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.32According to the first two paragraphs, what does the new study suggest?AYawning is a form of munication.BIt is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.CChildren follow others in yawning just after they are born.DYawning has some mysterious force which is related to God.33According to Molly Helt, _.Ahumans differ from animals because they municate with othersByawning is a kind of emotional connection among humansCemotions are infectious, but yawning is notDyawning helps clear ears on planes34Which of the following is NOT true about yawning?AIt is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.BSome kids are too young to yawn after others.CYawning can be used to test childrens development.DKids with autism yawn easily when others yawn.35The author implies in the last paragraph that _.Ayawning can make people feel relaxedBit is bad manners to yawn on some social occasionsCthe more you yawn, the happier you will beDyawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory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。Building Trust in a Relationship AgainTrust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. _36_Trust is a risk. But you cant be successful when theres a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake. Unfortunately, weve all been victims（受害者） of betrayal（背叛）. Whether weve been suffer from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply cant trust anymore. _37_Its understandable, but if youre willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there. _38_Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best oute would be for your well-being. _39_If youve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But theres a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, well have our trust tested or violated.You didnt lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. _40_Instead, its a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.A. Learn to really trust yourself.B.It is putting confidence in someone.C.Stop regarding yourself as the victim.D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.E.Theyve been too badly hurt and they cant bear to let it happen again.F.This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.G.
