He always acted as if he thought I wasnt one of the families. There was an advantage in being one of the families, for he didnt bite the family as often as he bit strangers. In his last years Muggs used to spend almost all his time outdoors. As a result the garbage man, the iceman and the laundryman wouldnt come near the house. We had to drag the garbage down to the corner, take the laundry out and bring it back and meet the iceman away from home. After this had gone on for some time we hit on a good idea for getting the dog into the house so that we could lock him up while others needed to come inside the house. Muggs was afraid of only one thing, thunder and lightning. It frightened him out of his senses. He would rush into the house and hide under a bed or in clothes closet. So we made a thunder machine out of a long narrow piece of iron with a wooden handle on one end. Mother would shake this with all her strength when she wanted Muggs into the house. I suppose it was the most complex system for running a household that was ever devised. It took a lot out of Mother.1If you were a member of family, you had the “advantage” of _.A. being able to touch Muggs without being bitten B. being protected by Muggs from strangersC. being bitten less often than strangers were by muggsD. being bitten less severely than strangers were by Muggs2The garbage man wouldnt come near the house because_.A. he did not like families with dogsB. he knew the family were unfriendly to himC. he could pick up the garbage at the cornerD. her was afraid of being bitten by Muggs3 Judging from the context, “we hit on a good idea” most probably means_A. we felt excited about a good ideaB. we suddenly thought of a good ideaC. we agreed on a good ideaD. we carefully studied a good idea4 The thunder machine was made to _.A. frighten Muggs into the houseB. draw Muggs attention when someone came mear the houseC. give the children something to play withD. get Muggs used to thunder and lightning5 We learn from the passage that Muggs _.A . was the worst dog the author ever sawB. caused a lot of trouble to the familyC. was a dog nobody ever likedD. changed the way of housewives to run a householdPassage 2 Questions6 to10 are based on the following passage: The Ayalas were an ordinary American family just like millions of others: mom, dad, a boy and a girl. Until, that is, daughter Anissa was found to be suffering from leukemia. Her parents soon learned the dreadful truth: their daughter was under sentence of death. Leukemia patients usually die within five years without successful bone marrow transplantation. At this point Anissas best bet was her brother Airon, but his bone marrow proved unfit. Next, the Ayalas searched nationwide for a donor. Time was running out. Anissas final hope was a child who did not, as yet, exist. Earlier the father Abe had had an operation so there would be no more children. He had to have another operation. At the age of 43 Anissas mother gave birth to another baby, knowing that the chances against the bone marrow of the new arrival being fit for Anissa were three to one. They were lucky. A daughter who could save her sisters life was born. After a fourteen-month wait, doctors at Los Angeles City of Hope Hospital took a cupful of healthy bone marrow from the new baby. It was then transplanted into the body of her elder sister. Even then, doctors were not fully sure. Anissa had a 70% chance of success. Fortunately, it succeeded and Anissas health improved gradually. A year later, in June 1992, she got married and looked forward to along life together with her husband. 6What was the mane of the newborn baby?A. Anissa B. Airon C. AbeD.

Which of the following words best describe the fate of the sick daughter?A. Unfortunate B. LuckyC. Unalterable D. Complicated Passage 3 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: Extensive new studies suggest that the world has made extraordinary progress in reducing poverty in recent decades. The research suggests that the pace of economic progress has been rapid and continued for decades, built on the foundations of relative political stability, rising trade, and economic liberalization after two world wars. One new study, published recently by the Institute for International Economics in Washington, find that the proportion of the 6.1 billion people in the world who live on $1 a day or less shrank from 63 percent in 1950 to 35 percent in 1980 and 12 percent in 1999. By some other measures, the progress has been more modest. Still, economists agree that poverty has plunged in key nations such as India and especially China, thanks to slowing population growth as well as economic freedom. This is a huge success for the world as a whole, says Harvard University economist Richard Cooper. We are doing something right. The news comes as the World Bank is about to open its annual meeting in Washington- an event that has been troubled in recent years by protests that the Bank and its sister Institution, the International Monetary Fund， have done too little for the worlds poor. The new economic research will not put an end to that dispute. Vast populations remain poor, and many still question the wisdom of World Bank policies. Nonetheless, the research findings are helpful to understand what policies should be followed by those institutions and hundreds of other development groups working very hard to hasten the pace of world economic progress. If dramatic gains are under way, the present policies-calling for open markets, free business activities and tight monetary control-are working and correct. But critics of IMF and World Bank policies maintain that such economic success stories as Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore are rooted in more than just free markets. These nations have managed to grow rapidly, and thereby reduce poverty, by limiting imports when their domestic industries were young, pushing exports to rich nations, and putting controls on purely international financial flows. The have been open to foreign-owned factories but have often insisted that those investors share the knowledge and skill on modern technologies. 11. The word plunged in the first paragraph means _. A. decreased B. climbed C. increased D. dropped into water 12. From the passage, we learn that _. A. World Bank has done nothing to help the poor in the world B.
