worn-out dog stumbling (蹒跚) painfully up the road. we stopped, bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. i checked and there was a collar with a phone number. i called but no one answered.the dog was painfully thin. so julie ran home to get some of our dogs food while i tried to encourage the dog. after julie came back, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food. eventually we got her home. after trying for many times we got a response from the number. a lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us. she explained that tara had been her fathers dog. she was very old and got lost that morning. so, tara was safely returned home.here is the truth of the story:actually julie and i were out that morning because i was leaving. she was trying to persuade me to come back, but i wasnt hearing anything that made that sound likely. i was about to turn and go when an old black dog walked between us and almost fell down. suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. there was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.we did help it. and here i am writing the story in my own home, in my own family.in the song “love is not a fight” warren barfield talks about marriage. at one point he sings, “and if we try to leave, may god send angels to guard the door.”sometimes angels come disguised (伪装) as dogs. 46. how was the dog when found?a. too weak to walk.b. thin and worn out. c. unable to eat food.d. homeless but gentle.47. from paragraph 2, we know that_.a. the dog didnt go with the writerb. the writer had his own pet dogc. the dog belonged to one of the couples friendd. the dog didnt eat any of the food48. the underlined part “our problem” in the passage refers to the fact that .a. the writer didnt want to take julies adviceb. an old black dog appeared in front of themc. julie disagreed with the writers travel on businessd. the couple had some trouble with their marriage49. we can infer from the passage that _.a. the couple finally took the dog homeb. the dog was abandoned by its ownerc. the couple also solved their own problem after helping the dogd. it is god that send the dog to help the couple50. which of the following is the best title for the passage?a. an angel dog b. a helpful couplec. saving the dogd. a famous songbthe other day i heard a few local musicians talking:“i hate all the terrible pianos in this town. i hate that rubbish they play on the radio. they cant even understand a bit of music.” “im never playing in that club again. too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”but, one younger musician said, “there are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and im trying to find other places to play. im also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”ive heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.attitudes are important. whether theyre positive or negative, theyre rubbing off on you. if youre around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame others, and you play the role of victim, chances are you will start to as well. so its time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.this is an easy exercise: make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. set a new standard for yourself and dont become friends with people who fall below that standard.keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. ask them how they do it. ask if they will help you get the work youre looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.51. which of the following would be the best title for this passage?a. a friend in need is a friend indeedb. how to make friendship last for everc. you are who your friends ared. friends are the most important in ones success52. the underlined sentence “theyre rubbing off on you” in paragraph 6 means _. a. theyll push you aheadb. theyll influence youc. theyll cover your shortcomingsd. theyll help you achieve your goal53. the musicians words at the beginning are written mainly to show _. a. the musicians living conditions are quite poorb. people have poor taste in musicc. people have different attitudes towards the same thingd. young people have greater chances of succeeding54. by taking the exercise mentioned in paragraph 7, you can _.a. improve a lot in making more friendsb. come to the right way of making friendsc. develop a better relationship with your friendsd. arrange the time with your friends properly55. the passage is mainly written for _.a. musicians b. managers c. negative people d. people wanting to succeedcwhat should you think about when trying to find your career? you are probably better at some school subjects than others. these may show strengths that you can use in your work. a boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. a girl who spells well and likes english may be good at office work. so it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. on the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. a knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. this is an ability that can be useful in many jobs. your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. you may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. if you have had a part-time job on saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. if nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. you may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. you may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. it is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. you should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.56. we can infer from the first paragraph that _.a. learning better at school shows power in your job b. the better you are at school subjects, the more helpful they are in your career. c. learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs. d. we should think about how to find our career57. from the passage we learn that if a students school performance is not good, he will _. a. have no hope in his future work b. be hopeful to find a suitable job c. regret not having worked harder at school d. have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work58. all the subjects may have direct value for job hunting except _. a. mathematics b. english c. history d. technical drawing59. the underlined phrase “be all thumbs” (in paragraph 3) probably means “_”. a. heavy- handed b. the best c. important d. skilled60. the passage mainly discusses _. a. the relationship between school performance and career b. how to get a job c. how to show strengths in your work d. working experience and knowledge at schooldharvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable(可生物降解的) material inspired by insects hard outer shells. the materials inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative(替代物) to plastic. the material, made from shrimp(虾)shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk”. it is thin, clear, flexible and strong.a major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. plastics toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and 1960s. decades later, however, plastics very durability(耐用性) is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill（垃圾池） where they will degrade for centuries. what is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years?shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, fond in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants that makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. the inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so theyre exploring ways to use it in wet environments. theyre also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. theyre even exploring combining it with other materials like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.61. paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shrilks_. a. remarkable designb. interesting namec. major featuresd. basic elements62. what has become a concern about plastic?a. using it properlyb. producing it cheaplyc. developing its properties quicklyd. evaluating its contributions fairly63. according to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because_.a. it can help plastic degradeb. it can be found in living thingsc. its mass production has been realizedd. its raw materials are plentiful in nature64. what are the inventors doing in the lab? a. replacing carbon fibers with shrilk b. testing shrilks use in wet conditions c. making shrilk out of used household goods. d. im
