the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming toward them, and his hands outstretched. the two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each others hand. they turned to see the carpenter putting his toolbox onto his shoulder. “no, wait! stay a few days. ive a lot of other projects for you,” said john. “id love to stay on,” the carpenter said, “but i have many more bridges to build.” 36. the carpenter knocked on johns door in order to .a. hunt for a jobb. beg for some money c. repair the fenced. have a rest 37. on seeing what the carpenter had built, john .a. spoke highly of him b. gave him too much moneyc. fired him at once d. was in great surprise38. the underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that .a. the carpenter made an excuse for his leave b. the carpenter was good at building bridgesc. there are still too many conflicts among peopled. the carpenter was so skillful that many people wanted to employ him 39. what is the best title of the passage ?a. good neighborhoodb. two hardworking farmersc. a fence on the riverd. two brothers bwe have met the enemy, and he is ours. we bought him at a pet shop. when monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the african rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the american midwest, its hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals.” says stephen morse, director of the center for public health preparedness at columbia university.its not just that were going to where the animals are; were also bringing them closer to us. popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country. a strange illness killed isaksens pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “i dont think its fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them.” says isaksen.“laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing.” says peter schantz. monkey-pox may be the wake up call. researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. we know very little about these new diseases. a new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. but it may develop into something harmful. monkey-pox doesnt look a major infectious disease. but it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.40. we learn from paragraph 1 that the pet sold at the shop may _.a. come from columbia b. prevent us from being infectedc. enjoy being with children d. suffer from monkey-pox41. why did isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets?a. we do not know much about them yet.b. we need to study native animals.c. they cant live out of the rain forest.d. they attack human beings.42. what does the phrase “the wake-up call” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?a. a morning call. b. a clear warning.c. a dangerous animal. d. a new disease.43. the text suggests that in the future we _.a. should stop buying pets from africab. may easily get infected by diseases from dogsc. should not be allowed to have petsd. may have to fight against more diseasescirenes thai for reservations (预定) call 62473579 12.24 christmas eve dinner 198 rmb per person including coffee and tea. each guest invited to select a special surprise from our xmas tree. 12.25 special christmas thai buffet brunch (自助早午餐) from 11 am to 4 pm. includes soft drinks, coffee & tea. 98 rmb per person. 12.31 new year buffet dinner 200 rmb per person. you can eat with exotic (异国情调的) thai dancing. show times at 8 pm & pm. monday & friday, you can eat alacarte menu. 150 rmb, including soft drinks & draught beer. book now for your christmas partythe place: club pegasusthe party: new years eve !the price: 100 rmb open bar (免费酒柜) !
