There are some places that have few or no earthquakes. Most places in the world, however, have them regularly. Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous.The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906. Over 700 people died in it. The strongest one in North America was in 1964. It happened in Alaska.Strong earthquakes are not always the ones that kill the most people. In 1755, one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded was felt in Portugal. Around 2,000 people died.In 1923, a very strong earthquake hit Tokyo, Yokohama area of Japan. A hundred and forty thousand people died. Most of them died in fires which followed the earthquake.One of the worst earthquakes ever was in China in 2008. It killed a large number of people. The worst earthquake ever reported was also in China, in which 400,000 people were killed or injured. This earthquake happened in 1556.Earthquakes worry people a lot. The reason is that we often do not know when they are coming. People cannot prepare for earthquakes.24.Earthquakes happen _.A. in all the places in the worldB. only in the countries that have a lot of mountainsC. regularly in most places in the worldD. only in a few places along the coast25.When and where was the worst earthquake ever reported?A.

What will people do to prepare for earthquakes?C. How can we save people when earthquakes happen?D. How do earthquakes happen?CIf you have a chance to take a walk in a park, look carefully at the people walking their dogs. Youll probably find friendly-looking people with friendly dogs; quiet people with quiet dogs; large men with oversized dogs and long-haired women with long-eared dogs. As youve probably noticed, dogs and their owners look alike. Have you ever wondered why?These similarities are so common that researchers have tried to explain them. There are two theories (理论): the convergence (趋同) theory and the selection theory. The convergence theory says that as the owner and the dog spend more time together, they influence each other to the point where they grow similar. In other words, they “converge.”The selection theory, on the other hand, says that owners are interested in dogs that look like them, so they choose those dogs as pets.Recently, researchers at the University of California decided to test the two theories by taking pictures of 45 dogs separately from their owners. Then they asked some students to match the dogs photos with their owners. The students were quite successful with purebred (纯种的) dogs: they correctly matched 16 out of 25 with their owners. However, they had almost no success connecting mixed-breed (杂交的) dogs with their owners. When owners select a purebred dog, they can easily predict (预测) what it will look like later. But that is not true with mixed-breed dogs because its hard to predict what a mixed-breed dog will look like when it grows up. And since it was the purebreds not the mixed-breeds that looked like their owners, the research seems to prove the“selection theory”.But one bit of warning. Although many people look like their dogs, not all dog owners enjoy having the similarity pointed out to them. So, even if the similarity is amazing, dont go up to a stranger and say,“Wow, you look just like your dog!”28.The convergence theory explains that the similarity between dogs and their owners _.A. decreases with the age of themB. decreases with increasing differencesC. increases with the period of ownership (所有权, 拥有权)D. increases with increasing attractiveness29.According to the selection theory, why do dogs look like their owners?A. They influence each other.B. They often do the same thing.C. Dogs follow what their owners do.D. Owners pick dogs that look like them.30.Whats the purpose of the research?A. To test two similarity theories.B. To prove the selection theory.C. To help people choose proper dogs.D. To show the differences between dogs.31.What can we learn from the research?A. Purebred dogs have predictable appearance.B. Most owners want their dogs to look like them.C. Mixed-breeds and their owners share similarities.D. Most owners prefer purebred dogs to mixed-breeds.DThere are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are not.“Face the music” is a good example. When someone says they have to face the music, it does not mean they are going to a musical performance or concert. To face the music means to accept the unpleasant results of an action.Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while Im away. But please do not drive it. It is an extremely fast car.” But you do not listen. You want to show off and pretend the car is yours. So, you drive it around town. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is serious. When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. That could mean losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.There are other American expressions that mean the same as “face the music”.To “take your medicine” means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says, “You made your bed. Now lie in it.” He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!“Pay the piper” also means the same as “face the music”. But, that expression has its own very interesting beginning. We will talk about that on another Words and Their Stories.32.What does “face the music” mean?A. Going to a musical performance. B. Apologizing to the person you have hurt.C. Dealing with the situation you have caused. D. Accepting the unpleasant results of an action.33.Which of the following expressions doesnt have the same meaning with the others?A. Face the music. B. Make your bed.C. Take your medicine. D. Pay the piper.34.Which action belongs to a “take your medicine”？A. You caught a cold and took some medicine.B. You worked hard but failed in the exam.C. You broke the traffic rules and caused an accident.D. You moved to a new city and lost touch with your old friends.35.What may be talked about in the next programme?A. Other words and their stories. B. The beginning of “pay the piper”.C. The wider use of “face the music”. D. An example of “take your medicine”.第二节 七选五 (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。Chores: Good for Kids, Good for YouA recent study showed that most adults did household chores when they were young. 36. Kids nowadays spend a good deal of their time on homework and after-school activities.An expert said, “Parents today want their kids to spend time on things that can bring them respect. We have stopped doing the one thing that has proven to bring success. 37.”One study found that young adults who began chores at ages 3 and 4 were more likely to succeed. Compared to no-chore kids, they had better family relations, did better in school, did better at work and were more self-confident.Personal happiness is said to come from strong relationships. It begins by learning to be kind and helpful at home.If your kids say they have to skip chores to do homework, do not let them off the hook. 38. “What may seem like small messages at the moment,” an expert says, “add up to big messages over time.”Here are some important ideas from experts：39. Thank young children for being a “helper,” not just “helping”. It creates a positive identity.Schedule chore time. Write down chores on a calendar that everyone can see (for example, posted in the kitchen).Game it. Start small and have young children earn new “levels” of responsibilities, such as going from sorting clothes to earning the right to use the washing machine.Keep allowances and chores separate. Do not make chores a business trade.Do chores as shared tasks. 40.Give chores a PR (public relations) boost. Do not tie chores to punishments. If you complain about doing the dishes,so will your children.A. Watch your language.B. That is doing household chores.C. Instead of saying, “Do your chores,” say, “lets do our chores.”D. But the same study showed that most kids today do not do household chores.E. You shouldnt tell your child that grades are more important than caring about others第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Hello, Mr. Wi-Fi.
