On the last day of our 17 , I was hesitating to cross the busy street alone from our hotel when I felt a hand on my elbow and looked 18 to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me. She nodded her head toward the street, 19 that she would take me across. Then we moved on 20 the sidewalk, where she kissed me on cheeks and then left, still smiling and waving back to me. Traveling in poorer nations, I have witnessed (目睹) various ways to deal with beggars. The most common response of tourists 21 the poverty-stricken is to 22 them and focus their eyes elsewhere.

As Amy Paul choked(哽住) on a piece of apple at her home, her dog jumped up, landing hard on her chest and forcing the piece in her throat out. 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.26. Why did Amy Paul choke on a piece of apple? A. She was too young to care for herself. B. She had a big bite.C. She didnt peel the skin as usual. D. She was reading a magazine.27. Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “infancy” in Paragraph 4?A. babyhood B. youth C. middle age D. agedness 28. What caused the carbon monoxide spreading through the house?A. The burning gas. B. A pump breaking down. C. The poisonous gas.D. A driver breaking into the house.29. What would be the suitable title for the passage?A. So Smart Animals AreB. Great Honors for Cat and DogC. Unforgettable Experiences D. Dog and Cat Honored for Saving Their MastersB When it comes to relationship, we spend a lot of time discussing their joys, but rarely talk about the pain when they break down. Yet most people have a story about a broken relationship. For Jane Black, a six-year friendship ended when her friend was rude to one of her children. “After quite a few drinks at a party in my house, she said something rude to my child. I ended the friendship face to face at the party,” she says. “I didnt realize what I was doing at the time, I was simply standing up for my child, but in her eyes any challenge was a betrayal.” When Angela Thompson noticed a seven-year friendship disappearing, she let it go. “I didnt know how to deal with the issue. I didnt sit down for a grown-up conversation; I just walked away quietly.” The decision caused a reaction among Thompsons other friends. “The other friends in the circle are the worst people when you are trying to break up with a friend,” she says. “They dont want you to stop being friends, because it puts them in a difficult position. You get told to just get it over.”Though we have plenty of measures for handling conflict at work or family fight, we still dont have good ways of ending friendships. Do we sit down and properly break up, or just walk away? Psychologist Serena Cauchy has the following advice. Dont blame. Talk about your needs and feeling rather than talking like a Dutch uncle. Do talk about your needs.Talk about why the friendship is not working for youabout how your needs arent being met.Dont gossip.Negative talk hurts everyone involved and in some cases can make matters worse.Dont be so accessible.If there is a common wish to conclude the friendship, then you can remove it.30. How did Angela Thompson deal with her friendship when it went wrong?A. She ended it face to face.B. She left it as it was. C. She turned to her friends for advice. D. She made a direct challenge. 31. According to the third paragraph, we learn the other friends_.A. will help you to fix a broken friendshipB. will choose either of the sides who broke upC. will ask you to forgive each otherD. will be the worst people to break up with you at the same time32. Which is NOT mentioned by Psychologist Serena Cauchy?A. End the friendship if it cant be renewed.B. Dont complain behind ones back.C. Express what you want and expect.D. Sincerely talk about friends shortcomings.33. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A True Friendship B. When Friendships disappearC. How Friendships LastD. Ways to Fix FriendshipsC There are hundreds of national parks and wildlife areas in Africa that you can travel to. Here are the top four travel destinations in AfricaTanzania-Serengeti National Park During the annual migration(迁徙), when the wildebeests(羚羊) and zebras pack up and leave their living areas to find fresher ones, the Serengeti is an astonishing place to be. Its a very good travel spot in Africa at other times of the year too, but the migration has been ranked by many as one of the wonders of the natural world.Kenya-Masai Mara National Park If you want to see the big cats, this wildlife park is the best of the best. Lion, leopard and cheetah abound and they are relatively easy to spot because of the grassland vegetation which means you get good views for miles around. Another big plus is the fact that going off road is allowed and it is a big advantage because the animals will rarely oblige you and stay next to the major roads.South Africa-Kruger National Park For the variety of species no other places in Africa can come close to the Kruger Park. And because it is so large it has a number of different ecosystems that you can pass through in your search for animals and birds. It is one of the best managed parks in Africa and the accommodation is well-equipped, too.Zambia-South Luangwa National Park South Luangwa is a diamond in the rough, just waiting for enough exposure to bring it to its rightful place in the crown of prime Africa trips. It has been regarded as one of the best places in Africa to see the special leopard and it is the birthplace of the walking travel. 34. If you want to see more kinds of wild animals, you should go to _.A. Serengeti National Park.B. Masai Mara National Park.C. Krunger National Park.D. South Luangwa National Park.35. In which parks can visitors see leopards?A. Serengeti National Park and Krunger National Park. B. Masai Mara National Park and South Luangwa National Park.C. Krunger National Park and South Luangwa National Park.D. Serengeti National Park and South Luangwa National Park.四、单词拼写（每小题1.5分，共15分）36.Rich people wanted to decorate their_(极好的) palaces and great houses.37.He had a _（偏爱）for Western paintings.38.We didnt know how they _（运送）these stones over 200moles without modern machines.39.Please fill in the _（空格）with your own information.40.He became _ （成瘾的）to cigarettes last year.41.She felt _（害羞的）of her body shape, so she decided to go on a diet.42.He gave a _（一瞥）at his watch and then left.43.You should cover the burned area with a dry, clean _（绷带）.44.Most people are very _（乐观的） about the economic situation.45.It seemed that the driver is to _(责备) for the accident.五、短文改错（共10小题，每题1.5分，满分15分）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断：如无错误，该行右边横线上画一个勾（ ）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误，则按下列情况改正：此行多一词：把多余的词用斜线（/）划掉；在该行右边横线上写上该词，并也用斜线划掉。此行缺一词：在缺词处加一个漏字符（），在该行右边的横线上写上该加的词。此行错一词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。注意：原行没有错的不要改。Before lunch Allen happened to see a man fished in 46._ a ditch about five metre outside a bar.
