c. be real and original d. be published beforebhere are a growing number of pet owners who feed their pets on raw（生食）, which means, “uncooked” meat and bones. william burk, a pet food specialist from the food and drug administration （fda）, believes that feeding raw meat to pets is against its goal of protecting the public from health dangers, and that raw meat and bones do not have all the required nutrition（营养） that a pet needs every day. learning how popular these foods are, the fda has provided guidelines （指南）for producers of pet foods which contain uncooked meat for dogs, cats and other pets. the guidelines give rules to protect pet owners and pets from dangers about food safety and lack of nutrition. pet owners who feed raw meat and bones to their pets should deal with these products very carefully to protect themselves against possible dangers, says burk. just as when you are preparing foods for human beings, use hot water and soap to wash your hands, containers, and surfaces that come into contact with the food. dont put your hands near your mouth until you have washed them, and dont allow your pet to touch your face right after it has eaten raw meat.“if pet owners choose to feed bones to their pets, they should watch their pets carefully when they are eating bones,” burk says. “if a pet eats a big piece of bone that wont pass through its digestive system（消化系统）, it is likely to kill the pet.”5. what does william burk think of feeding pets on raw meat? a. itll make the pet owners sick. b. itll keep the pets wild nature. c. its against the policy of tile fda. d. its dangerous and lack of nutrition.6. the fda has provided guidelines for producers of pet foods with raw meat because _. a. pet safety is a serious problem b. most pets are lack of nutrition c. feeding pets on raw is popular d. the quality of pet foods is dropping7. those who feed pets on raw should do some necessary cleaning when _. a. preparing raw meat for pets b. touching the food containers c. taking their pets out for a walk d. preparing foods for human beings8. what suggestion is given to pet owners in the last paragraph? a. pets should be forbidden to eat raw bones. b. pets should be kept away from the raw meat. c. pets should be checked on their digestive system.d. pets should be watched carefully while eating bones.c reading is the key to success. apparently(显然地) every successful person develops a passion for reading. this is because reading is important to get the information required to understand something. for instance, lawyers have to study and learn every established(确立的) law on their specific branches（分支）. sometimes the law changes according to peoples needs. a good lawyer has to be informed about the latest news in the court. a doctor has to be informed of the latest advances in medicine.reading is very important for all mankind. everything is relative in this world, especially reading. reading can open many doors and it can lead you into a path of success. studies have confirmed（证实） that reading to your unborn child is very good. this way your child will develop a passion （热爱）for reading.how do you develop a passion for reading? there is only one way you can develop your passion for reading. let me explain this to you. if you want to learn how to ride a bike, you have to get on the bike as many times as possible until you have learned. it works the same way with reading. if you want to boost your reading, take a book and read it all the way through. when you finish reading your first book, take another book and do the same. try to read as much as you can. if you are going out, grab a magazine, a book, an article or something to read.there is a very important factor behind the readingreading comprehension（阅读理解）. its what makes you understand the meaning behind the text. lets assume(假设) that you read a document and you are supposed to explain the meaning of the document. how would you explain the document if you couldnt understand the message of the author?9the first two paragraphs mainly talk about .a. the key to successb. the importance of readingc. what reading comprehension isd. how to develop a passion for reading10we can define reading comprehension as.a. a strong passion for readingb. the latest information in readingc. a very important factor behind the readingd. something that makes people understand what they read11the author develops the passage mainly by .a. following the natural time orderb. presenting opinions and giving examplesc. comparing the opinions of different peopled. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects12what do you suppose the following paragraph will talk about ?a. popular reading websites.b. famous people who love reading.c. the importance of reading at school. d. ways to improve reading comprehension.d school children are using mobile phone applications （手机应用程序）to do their homework, which seem to be increasing during summer vacations. but instead of blaming (责备)students for their behavior, we should say no to too much homework. this is important because by using mobile phone applications to do their homework, students dont add much to their knowledge, says an article in guangzhou-based yangcheng evening news. excerpts (摘录): using mobile phone applications to do homework is no different from copying from someone elses work. this is the opinion of a vast majority of teachers. students who seek cell phone apps help to do their homework will suffer during major exams when they cannot seek the help of such applications, the teachers say. the heavy load（负担） of homework chinese students are burdened with, said to be the heaviest in the world,has led to the popularity of these applications. senior high school students in china rarely（很少） go to bed before 11 pm. a report in shanghai published in2013 showed that students in the city on average spend 28.2 hours in class every week, the 9th highest among 65 countries and regions surveyed. also, they spend an average of 13.8 hours a week doing homework, most in the world. there is no association（联系） between the amount of homework one does and the amount of knowledge one gathers. in fact, a research by australian experts shows that the result is exactly the opposite: the more hours students spend doing homework, the less effective（有效的） they will be in gaining knowledge. the united states is one of the countries where students do little homework, but that has not damaged the countrys academic status in the world. so, its time chinese schools understood this fact and freed students of the unnecessary burden of homework.13. whats the writers attitude toward the studentsusing mobile phone applications to do their homework? a. supporting b. understanding c. scolding d. praising14. the cause of the students using mobile phone applications to do their homework is_. a. the heavy burden of homework b. the advance of modern technology c. the pressure of the students parents d. the influence of other countries15. which of the following is probably the best title? a. rid kids of the burden of homework. b. stop using mobile phones to do homework. c. spend less time to gain much knowledge.d. improve chinas academic status in the world.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。what do the worlds most successful people all have in common?by examining the work habits of over 150 greatest writers and artists and scientists, the researchers including standford professor jeffrey pfeffer found that high achievers like robert moses turn out to be all alike:busy ! busy! 16 in a study of general managers in industry, john kotter reported that many of them worked 60 to 65 hours per weekwhich translates into at least six 10-hour days. the ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures. energy and strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power.just say no!the difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say “no” to almost everything. and thats what gives them the time to accomplish so much. 17 and focus means saying “no” to a lot of distractions (分神). know what you are!ignore your weakness and keep improving your strengths. dont waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence. instead, focus onand build onyour strengths. 18 create good luck!luck is not magicalthere is a science to it. richard wiseman studied lucky people for his book luck factor,

principles to your life actually work? wiseman created a “luck school” to test the ideasand it was a success. in total, 80 percent of people who attended luck school said that their luck had increased. 20 a. spend enough time to improve your weakness.b. achievement （成就）requires focus.c.on average, these people reported that their luck had increased by more than 40 percent.d. they never stop working and they never lose a minute.e. busy people are more likely to be lucky.f. this means knowing who you are, what you are and what you are good at.g. certain personality types (性格类型)are
