For example, specially trained dogs help blind people walk around the town safely. Some kinds of monkeys can be taught things too. They can learn how to help people who cant use their arms or legs. The monkeys pick up the phone when it rings, carry shopping bags and do housework. In the wild, animals and humans are not usually friends, but there are a few interesting examples where they can work together. In Africa, the honeyguide bird works with humans to find food. The bird likes to eat the grubs (幼虫 ) a type of insect that lives inside a beehive (蜂巢 ,蜂窝 ). It knows how to find beehives but it cant open them and get the grubs. People like to eat honey, but they arent very good at finding beehives, so the bird and the people help each other. The bird flies to a beehive and people follow it. When the people open the beehive and take the honey, they give the grubs to the bird. In Laguna in the south of Brazil, fishermen and dolphins work as a team. The ocean isnt very clean, so the fishermen cant see the fish. However, dolphins can find them easily by using sounds. When the dolphins find a large group of fish, they make a noise to tell the fishermen. Then the dolphins push the fish to the beach. The fishermen wait in the water near the beach and catch a lot of fish in their nets. The fishermens nets make it easier for the dolphins to catch fish too. In Laguna, fishermen and dolphins have been working together for many years. The fishermen teach their children how to work with the dolphins. The dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babies how to work with the humans! ( )33. How do some dogs help people? A. They help people who cant walk. B.

The easiest way is to use a special programme called a web editor (编辑 ). You can find these programmes on the Internet. First think about some things to put on your Internet page by looking at other peoples pages. You need to put your Internet page on a bigger computer called a host which stores the pages so that other people can see them. These computers are owned by special Internet companies. Our programme may be able to help you find a host computer which you can use for free, but some companies will charge (收费 ) money for this. To make your Internet page, start up the programme and write some text in the window, then use the signs you can see on the computer to put in pictures and make the text larger or smaller, and change the way your page looks. You can also put photos on your Internet page. First, you need to put the photo in your computer, then use your mouse to move the photo to the place you want it. Choose the correct sign for putting photos onto the page, then find the name of your photo in your computer. When youve found it, choose that one with your mouse and put your photo on your Internet page. You can also put signs on your Internet page to join it to other peoples pages. Visitors to your page can follow these signs to find out more about a subject. For example, if your page includes some information about Jackie Chen, you could put on a sign that takes you to the page for his fan club. When you have completed your Internet page, you can put it on the Internet. After you put your page on the Internet, anyone will be able to see it. ( )37.

C Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. I was a clothes addict (有瘾的人 ), he jokes. I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got winkled(起皱的 ). Today David wears casual clothes- Khaki pants and a sports shirt- to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. Im working harder than ever, David says, and I need to feel comfortable. More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from normal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as dress-down Friday of casual Friday. What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing, said business consultant Maisly Jones. Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that its easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work, says the owner of a software company, so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code. Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive (有生产力的 ) when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of workers said they believe that casual dress improves worker morale. Only 4 percent of workers said that casual dress has a bad effect on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day, one person said. For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes. ( )41. Why did David Smith joke I was a clothes addict,? A. Because he often wore Khaki pants and a sports suit B. Because he couldnt stand a clean appearance C. Because he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time D. Because he used to carry a fresh suit to work ( )42. According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Dress-down Friday was first given as a benefit from companies. B. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago C. Dress-down has become an everyday thing since the early 90s. D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people. ( )43. What does the underlined word morale mean in paragraph three? It means _. A. 道德 B. 士气 C. 心情 D. 动机 ( )44. From the words of the owner of a software company in the third paragraph, we can infer that _. A. young people dont like working with conservative bosses B. casual office wear caused arguments C. causal clothes are cheaper than suits D. many people agreed to wear casual clothes to work ( )45. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. More and more companies have to allow workers to wear casual clothes. B. Wearing casual clothes will benefit office workers. C. Wearing casual clothes is good for both office workers and companies. D. A lot of young people dont like a conservative dress code. 第 II 卷 一、 选词填空（共 7 分，每空 1 分）（ 9 选 7） 根据短文内容，用方框中所给词的适当形式填空。 busy, collect, sell, until, education, for, enough, pretty, happy My friend Elisa owns the largest collection of Barbie dolls I have ever seen.

Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing； they are afraid of letting their parents and family down. If exams are really making you ill or worried, dont hide your feelings. Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend or someone in your family or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesnt help you, ask someone else. How to get through exams? Here is some advice: Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skillshow to work when you are in an exam. Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well. Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best. Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food. You need exercise to work well. Walk, run, and play sport whatever you enjoy. Stop thinking about the future and failing. If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But dont be too relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them. If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, dont do it! In fact, dont even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. You cannot change what you have written! To this advice, we could add: If you are studying in the evening, dont go straight to bed. Your mind will still be going round and roundthinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things. 13. Is time of exams stressful and difficult? 14. What should you do if the exam upsets you when it is finished? 15. Why do some students hate exams? 16. Is it a proper way or not to go straight to bed when you are studying in the evening? 17. What does the write want to do to write the article? 四、书面表达 （ 共 15 分） 18. 中学生杂志社的王主编给同学们在网上发了个邮件。他想了解你的学校以及你在校学习、生活的情况。请仔细阅读该邮件 , 然后给王主编写一封回信，回答他在邮件中提出的所有问题。信的开头和结尾已经给出，且不计入总数内。注意信中不出现你的真实姓名和班级。 要求：内容完整，意思连贯，语法正确，书写工整，不少于 60 词。 Dear friends, We are doing a survey about your school life and we really need your help.
