When the Keesling family of Indiana was about to be killed by carbon monoxide, their cat clawed at the wife Cathys hair until she woke up and called for help.No one could explain their timely heroics.Both pets were rescued by their owners in infancy-Toby as a 4-week-old thrown into a garbage bin to die, and Winnie as a week-old orphan hiding under a barn, so helpless that Cathys husband, Eric, had to feed her milk with an eyedropper.As the Keeslings recalled it, a gas-driven pump being used broke down, spreading carbon monoxide through the house. By the time Winnie went to rescue, the couples 14-year-old son was already unconscious. “Winnie jumped on the bed and was clawing at me, with a kind of angry sound,” Cathy Keesling said. The state police responding to her 911 call said the family was only minutes from death, judging by the amount of poisonous gas in the house.Amy Pauls husband was at his job when she took a midday break from making jewelry and bit into an apple. “Normally I peel them, but I read in Good Housekeeping Magazine that the skin has all the nutrients, so I ate the skin, and thats what caused me to choke,” she recalled. “I couldnt breathe and I was in panic when Toby jumped on me. He never does that, but he did, and saved my life.”Both Toby and Winnie accompanied their owners to the awards luncheon.21Why did Amy Paul choke on a piece of apple?A. She was too young to care for herself. B. She didnt peel the skin as usual.C. The apple was too hard. D. She had a big bite.22Winnie saved the lives of its owners whole family in an accident by _.A. jumping onto its owner B. calling for helpC. clawing at Cathys hair D. making some strange noises23Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “infancy” in Paragraph 4?A. middle age B. youth C. babyhood D. agedness24What caused the carbon monoxide spreading through the house?来源:Zxxk.ComA. A pump breaking down. B. A driver breaking into the house. C. The burning gas. D. The poisonous gas.B Work is a part of livingmy grandparents understood that. They lived and worked on a farm that has been in my family for 150 years. They raised chickens for eggs, pigs and cattle for meat. Cows were kept for milk and the cream, from which Grandma made butter and cheese. What little yard they had became a garden.The Depression, therefore, didnt make much change in their lives. But it did bring an unending flow of men out of work, drifting from job to job, to the farm. The first to show up at the door of the kitchen was a man in rags. He took off his hat and quietly explained that he hadnt eaten for a while. Grandpa stood watching him a bit , then said , “Theres a stack of firewood against the fence behind the barn (谷仓). Ive been needing to get it moved to the other side of the fence. You have just about enough time to finish the job before lunch.”Grandma said a surprising thing happened. The man got a shine in his eyes and he hurried to the barn at once. She set another place at the table and made an apple pie. During lunch, the stranger didnt say much, but when he left, his shoulders had straightened. “Nothing ruins a man like losing his self-respect,” Grandpa later told me.Soon after, another man showed up asking for a meal. This one was dressed in a suit and carried a small old suitcase. Grandpa came out when he heard voices. He looked at the man and then offered a handshake.” There is a stack of firewood along the fence down behind the barn Ive been meaning to get it moved. Itd sure be a help to me. And wed be pleased to have you stay for lunch.” The fellow set his suitcase aside and neatly laid his coat on top. Then he set off to work.Grandma says she doesnt remember how many strangers they shared a meal with during those Depression daysor how many times that stack of wood got moved.25. When he was asked to move a stack of firewood, the first man who asked for a meal got a shine in his eyes for he was glad that . A. he had found a good job B. he would have something to eat C. he would no longer suffer from the DepressionD. he would get what he wanted without losing his self-respect 26. The writers grandfather asked those jobless men to move the stack of firewood because .A. he didnt want them to have a meal free of charge B. he had been needing to get it moved C. he wanted to show them his kindnessD. he wanted to help them in his own way27. The writers grandfather was all of the following but .A. thoughtful B. kind C wealthy.D. sympathetic28. The best title for the story would be . A. WorkA Part of LivingB. No Pains, No GainsC. The Depression D. The Pleasure of farming C A cultures values can be mirrored by its humorHumor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes，who，in “On Nature”，disliked humor, “Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others”He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrow-mindedness However, Mordechai Gordon，Ph. D of Education，insists，“Humor allows us to view theworld from an angle that is amusing rather than serious” I agree with GordonLearning to look at the world through humor is important In the United States，every four years an election occursWithout humor as a way to express their feelings，how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going theway of lemming? Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American cultureThey are mothering the masses by metaphorically(隐喻地) airplane-ing politics into our mouthsThey make politics fun Of course, politics is only one type of humorSocial humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human conditionAmerican pop culture promotes an unhealthy self imageOn the topic of self-image，Hari Kondabolu stands outHe has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”，describing their hit song “Dont Cha” as a negative representation of womenHe points out an obvious offence in American culture A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partnerAmongst other things，mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner Of course，humor is not always used for good purposesHumor can be linked to vulgarity (粗俗)and racism，but，like everything else，it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves，our failures and our connection with one another Though life may seem tough and depressing at times，all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles(皱纹) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasnt aware of With that in mind，remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity29Hobbes believes that humor_Awas only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel betterBresulted in narrow-mindedness of human beingsChad the power to mirror personal glory and national valuesDwas for people to view the world from another angle30What is the authors attitude towards political humor?AWorried BDisappointed CCurious DAppreciative31The fourth paragraph is developed mainly_Aby example Bby process Cby comparison Dby classification32What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?AChaplin wasnt aware of being laughed atBThe author feels helpless and sad about getting olderCNever be the one who laughs at other people来源:Zxxk.ComDThe author is determined to face life with a sense of humorDMen are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, according to a report from Oxford University. The effect of the celebrity role models, who have given cooking a more manly picture, has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.According to the research by Prof. Jonatahn Gershuny, who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford, men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking, up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.Prof. Gershuny said, “The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. There has been 40 years of sexual equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come.”Women, who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutesa great fall, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.Some experts have named these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”, who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay, Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd. “I was married in 1974. When my father came to visit me a few weeks later, I was wearing an apron when I opened the door. He laughed,” said Prof. Gershuny. “That would never happen now.”Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table. Prof. Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a tablewith many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room, and shared by family members. “The family meal has changed a lot, and few of us eatas I did when I was a childat least two meals a day together as a family. But it has survived in a different format.” 33. What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?A. The improvement of cooks status.B. The influence of popular female chefs.C. The change of females view on cooking.D. The development of sexual equality campaign.34. What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?A. Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.B. Women spend much less time on cooking than before.C. It will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.D. There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.35. How did Prof. Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?A. It has become a thing of the past.B. It is very different from what it used to be.C. It shouldnt be advocated in modern times.D. It is beneficial to the stability of the family.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人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person.
