One afternoon, while staying with friends at their house there, my husband and I decided to go for a 36 along the many, mostly traffic-free, country lanes in the area. We met a beautiful Golden Retriever. He seemed 37 friendly so we stopped to play with him, 38 a stick which he retrieved(取回) several times happily. When we 39 our walk, he followed us, and although I worried that he 40 be going too far from his home, I couldnt deny that we were enjoying his 41 . After about twenty minutes, we found ourselves walking along a dirt road in an unfamiliar area. One house, almost hidden by shrubbery(灌木林) and shaded by tall trees，seemed 42 strange. I felt an urge to be as far away from that place as possible. Just then, the door to the house creaked open and five dogs 43 , barking and growling(咆哮)as they ran toward us. I felt 44 and couldnt move. There was nowhere to 45 and no time to run. All of a sudden, our new friend appeared between the dogs and us. He faced them all five of them growling and baring his teeth. I was 46 to see the attacking dogs stop in their tracks ten feet away from him. Our protector 47 them there while we escaped. 48 a safe distance, we looked back and saw the five dogs 49 back toward their house. But the Golden Retriever was 50 in sight. I felt an ache in my 51 ; I missed our friend already. Instinctively, I knew he was not hurt. With a feeling of 52 , we made our way back to the house, 53 the whole way that we would see him again. But it was not to be. When I told our friend about the encounter(相遇), her eyes flew 54 open as she exclaimed(大声说), “It was an angel!” To this day I have no 55 that a four-legged angel protected us.36.A.walk B.sightseeingC.picnic D.trip37.A.increasinglyB.deliberatelyC.personally D.especially38.A.holding B.talking C.throwing D.picking39.A.started B.continued C.went D.kept40.A.should B.must C.would D.might41.A.accompanyB.company C.companionD.fellow42.A.hardly B.otherwise C.somehow D.anyhow43.A.came out B.rushed outC.walked outD.headed out44.A.terrified B.excited C.astonishedD.strange45.A.see B.go C.hide D.find46.A.amazed B.pleased C.amused D.crazy47.A.stopped B.held C.ordered D.forced48.A.With B.On C.In D.At49.A.heading B.returning C.barking D.jumping50.A.everywhereB.somewhereC.anywhere D.nowhere51.A.foot B.hand C.mind D.heart52.A.tiredness B.sadness C.emptiness D.happiness53.A.hoping B.thinking C.imagingD.believing54.A.widely B.wide C.large D.largely55.A.wonder B.regret C.doubt D.idea第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从短文后每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ASince the beginning of the year, smog has covered parts of North China. In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM 2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory（呼吸系统）and heart diseases.Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere. Smog especially is a common concern. Like a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or vocation. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else. At a meeting on Monday, many Representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. “After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question: Why do we want to develop? Its for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life, he said. China needs to develop its economy and invest in high-tech. Every Chinese wants a strong country. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can migrate to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth. What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China. President Hu Jintao spoke at the 18th Party Congress last November saying that great efforts must be made to promote ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central governments resolution to address the environment issue. 56The effect of smog doesnt include .Athe rising of PM 2.5 readingsBthe increase of peoples incomeCmore people suffering diseasesDpatients increased in hospital57Why has smog become a common concern?ABecause people have to pay higher prices. BBecause we have to develop industry.CBecause nobody can avoid it. DBecause a popular online-post discussed it.58To make China stronger we have to develop economy, but .Awe have to sacrifice air as the priceBthe smog is the only byproductCecological progress can be ignoredDthe dirty air is not what we want59The underlined word “they” in paragraph 6 refers to .Aspace technologiesBother plantsChuman beingsDindustrial development60From the last two paragraphs we can infer that .Awe must protect the environment while developing economyBspace technologies should be developed in a large scaleCwe can move to the Mars after the earth has been destroyedDhigh-tech can completely solve the problem of pollutionBBEIJING, March 25 (Xinhua) - Scientists from China and the United States have mapped a key genetic code for bread wheat, a discovery that will help improve the crops productivity and ability to withstand extreme conditions.The sequence(测序) and draft of the A genome, one of the three basic genomes of wheat, was published on the website of the journal Nature on Monday. Researchers present this major achievement, by analysis of the genome of wheat T. urartu, the contributor of the A genome, to show its structure and characteristics. The identification of around 38,000 wheat genes is expected to help provide a valuable resource to accelerate deeper genomic breeding studies and offer a new foundation for the study of wheat evolution and genetic improvement.The research, started by a team from the Institute of Genetics and Development Biology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), was conducted by Shenzhen-based BGI, a leading genomics organization, and the University of California, Davis.Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the most widely planted and eaten food crops in the world. It feeds about 40 percent of the worlds population and provides 20 percent of a humans daily suggested amounts of calories and protein. Major efforts are underway around the world to increase the crops output and quality by multiplying genetic differences and fight against cold, drought and disease.However, the extremely large size and polyploid(多倍体) complexity of the wheat genome have so far acted as solid barriers for researchers to gain insight into its biology and evolution. 61. This passage is mainly about _.A. wheats influence and contribution to the world B. the barriers in wheats genetic study C. scientists unlock key genome of wheat D.the aim of wheats genetic study62. The underlined word “accelerate” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A. put off B. go up C. speed up D. hold off63. The identification of wheat genes is supposed to do the following EXCEPT_. A. to increase its ability to survive in nature. B. to increase its output to feed more population as much as possible. C. to contribute to the development of its biology and evolution.D. to meet humans daily need of calories and protein.64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AWheats genetic study has been carried out smoothly. BWheats genetic study has advanced significantly.CWheats genetic study has little effect on resistance to natural conditions.DAll the genomes of wheat have been mapped successfully.65. Where probably can you see this passage?A. In a novel B.On a website C.In a lab D. In a storybookC The video rooms have been open since Jan. 2. If successful, the chain hopes to expand the service to other provinces, or even other countries. In addition to the food, customers pay 200 yuan per hour for using the room. The video rooms have been fully booked in February, said Chen Yu, manager of the Wangfujing branch. The Video room in Beijing is about 30 square meters and large enough for six customers. Many customers prefer to use the room for dinners rather than lunch, Chen said, adding the average age of customers who booked the video hotpot(火锅) is about 30. The whole process is very smooth. The image and the voice transmission(转换) are as good as those of video conferencing at work, said one of Chens colleagues surnamed Luo. I have a lot of friends in Beijing, whom I havent met for a long time because of being busy at work, said a woman surnamed Yu who is having dinner with her husband at Haidilao.The new service gives us a chance to have a dinner together without traveling. I would like to give it a try. The video hotpot also helped establish a friendship between waitresses in the two cities.Zhao Huanhuan, in her 20s, who is specially trained for serving in the video room in Shanghai, developed a friendship with a waitress named Lu Ke in the Beijing branch.Zhao said excitedly: It was too amazing to believe. Im so interested in using the special room and enjoy serving people there. I also talk about some interesting interactive games with Lu before guests come for dinner.Although Lu felt a little bit nervous when she first served in front of the screens, she said the new mode of communication also encouraged her to supply better services for customers.Its like a service competition. We saw each other through video and I could learn from Zhaos serving, Lu said, adding she will visit Zhao if she goes to Shanghai.It seems that video hotpot doesnt satisfy everyones taste, however.66. From the passage we know that _.A. the video room service has been open for a long timeB. the video room service has been open in many provinces in ChinaC. the Video room in Beijing is only designed for six people to useD. using the video room, you have to pay extra 200 yuan per hour67. Haidilao may be the name of _.A. a theatre B. a cinemaC. a restaurant D. a hotel68. Why do many customers choose the video room service?A. Because the service there is excellent.B. Because the room is large enough for six people.C. Because the food there is delicious.D. Because they can have dinner with friends without traveling.69. We can learn from the passage that Zhao Huanhuan _.A. is twenty years old nowB. hasnt met Lu Ke for a long timeC. enjoys communicating with Lu KeD. learned a lot from Lu Ke70. What do you suppose will be talked about in the paragraph to be followed?A. Other customers complaint about the service.B. Other customers praise for the service.C. How to improve the service. D. Lus visit to Zhao in Shanghai.DTwo friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence.
