english，with idioms or slang，and 32 with pictures. one of the most 33 dictionaries i have seen among many students is the 34 electronic dictionary. all you have to do is to 35 a word in your language and you can see it and 36 it in english. thats great，right？well，i think its great，too.but only sometimes.bilingual electronic dictionaries are fast and 37 .they can be great 38 you are traveling and need information quickly. 39 i am against electronic dictionaries and even bilingual 40 dictionaries in many cases. let me explain.when you reach an intermediate(中等程度的)level of english，you know 41 of the language to ask the meaning of certain things while using english. translating between languages in your head 42 time. you should be translating as little as possible and 43 in english as much as possible. i strongly recommend that intermediate and advanced students should 44 an englishenglish dictionary that is made 45 for your understanding. for example，foreign language teaching and research press has good dictionaries for students and 46 publishing houses do，too.i also feel that paper dictionaries are better for studying than electronic dictionaries. true，they take longer to use. but，for some reason，the information you 47 seems to stay in your head longer. it may be 48 you are forced to spell the word in your head and therefore “see it” more clearly in your 49.so what do you do if you have checked an englishenglish dictionary and still dont understand something？go to your bilingual dictionary. it is useful sometimes. just remember to try to 50 in english as much as possible.31. a.

remember第三部分:阅读理解（共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(a)in the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. this sometimes happens with humans also. but i have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. i see it every day when people hold doors for me，pour cream into my coffee，or help me to put on my coat. and i have discovered that it makes them happy.from my wheelchair experience，i see the best in people，but sometimes i feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness i see daily. they dont get to see this soft side of others. often we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness，which includes a lot of pretending. but only when we stop pretending were brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness thats in them.last month，when i was driving home on a busy highway，i began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. people behind me began to get impatient and angry，with some speeding up alongside me，horning(按喇叭)or even shouting at me. at that moment，i decided to do something i had never done in twenty-four years of driving. i put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.no more angry shouts and no more horns!when i put on my flashlights，i was saying to the other drivers，“i have a problem here. i am weak and doing the best i can.” and everyone understood. several times，i saw drivers who wanted to pass. they couldnt get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. but instead of getting impatient and angry，they waited，knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we dont feel that way. but those are few and far between. more often，it would be better if we dont pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when were scared.53. what did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?a. they speeded up to pass.b. they waited with patience.c. they tried their best to help.d. they put on their flashlights too.54. in this passage，the author advises us to_.a. handle problems by ourselvesb. accept help from othersc. admit our weaknessd. show our bravery(b)there was a time in my life when beauty meant something special to me. i guess that would have been when i was about six or seven years old, just several weeks or maybe a month before the orphanage(孤儿院) turned me into an old man.i would get up every morning at the orphanage, make my bed just like the little soldier that i had become and then i would get into one of the two straight lines and march to breakfast with the other twenty or thirty boys who also lived in my dormitory.after breakfast one saturday morning i returned to the dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful monarch butterflies who lived by the hundreds in the bushes scattered around the orphanage.i carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after another, and then took them from the net and then stuck straight pins through their head and wings, pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.how cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. i had walked many times out into the bushes, all by myself，just so the butterflies could land on my head, face and hands so i could look at them up close. when the telephone rang the house parent laid the large cardboard paper down on the back cement (水泥) step and went inside to answer the phone. i walked up to the cardboard and looked at the one butterfly who he had just pinned to the large paper. it was still moving about so i reached down and touched it on the wing causing one of the pins to fall out. it started flying around and around trying to get away but it was still pinned by the one wing with the other straight pin. finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground and just trembled.i picked up the torn wing and the butterfly and i spat on its wing and tried to get it to stick back on so it could fly away and be free before the house parent came back. but it would not stay on him.57. what is the authors attitude towards the house parents pinning some butterflies on the cardboard?a. tolerant b. unconcernedc. disgusted d. discouraged58. we know from the passage that _.a. the author lived alone in the dormitory b. there were one hundred butterflies living in the bushes. c. the cardboard paper was left on the step so as to be watched d. the author failed to stick the worn wing onto the butterfly with his spit (c)can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home？people who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. a recent research has found a new recipe of success. according to the study，if the cat is adopted before the dog，and if they are introduced when still young(less than 6 months for cats，a year for dogs)，it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. two thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.however，it wasnt all sweetness and light. there was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes，while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. one reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. for example，when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression，while a dog doing the same signals submission.in homes with cats and dogs living peacefully，researchers observed a surprising behaviour. they are learning how to talk each others language. it is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk dog，and dogs can learn how to talk cat. whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. they can learn to read each others body signals，suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. once familiar with each others presence and body language，cats and dogs can play together，greet each other nose to nose，and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. they can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理)each other.the significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond petsto people who dont get along，including neighbors，colleagues at work，and even world superpowers. if cats and dogs can learn to get along，surely people have a good chance.59. the underlined word swimmingly in para. 1 is closest in meaning to _.a. early b. sweetly c. quickly d. smoothly60. some cats and dogs may fight when _.a. they are cold to each otherb. they look away from each otherc. they misunderstand each others signalsd. they are introduced at an early age61. what is found surprising about cats and dogs?a. they eat and sleep together.b. they observe each others behaviours.c. they learn to speak each others language.d. they know something from each others voices.62. it is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _.a. have common interestsb. are less different than was thoughtc. have a common body languaged. are less intelligent than was expected(d)we lived in a very quiet neighborhood. one evening i heard a loud crash in the street. earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. it seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter holly practice her driving，so i sent her to the store in my truck.at dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. i enjoyed having it，but i said，“guy, my heart is not set on that truck. i like it but it is just metal and wont last forever. never set your heart on anything that wont last.”after hearing the loud noise，the whole family ran outside. my son shouted，“dad！dad，holly crashed your truck.”my heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. was anyone hurt？who else was involved？as i ran to the door，i heard a voice in my heart say，“here is a chance to show holly what you really love. shell never forget it.”the accident had occurred in my own driveway. holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle，the family van(搬运车). in her inexperience，she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal. holly was unhurt physically，but when i reached her，she was crying and saying，“oh，dad，im sorry. i know how much you love this truck.” i held her in my arms as she cried.later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck. i told her the whole story. her eyes moistened and she said，“that happened to me when i was a girl. i borrowed my dads car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road. i ruined the car. when i got home my dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.”over 40 years later，she still felt the pain of the night. it was a deep wound on her soul.i remember how sad holly was the night she crashed our truck，and how i comforted her. one day，when holly thinks back on her life，i want her to know that i love her a thousand times more than any piece of property.i repaired the van，but the dent(凹痕)in my truck is still there today. every day it reminds me of what really matters in my life.66. what happened to the authors friend after she ruined her dads car?a. she suffered physical pain for a long time.b. she didnt dare to drive for a long time.c. her father drove her out of the house.d. her father lost his temper and was violent toward her.(e)a little old couple walked slowly into mcdonalds on one cold winter evening. it seemed that they didnt come to the right place with the young families and young couples eating that night.the little old man walked right up to the cash register，placed his order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal. the couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off the tray. there was one hamburger，one order of french fries and one drink. the little old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. he placed one half in front of his wife. then he
