No, I didnt set a foot on your house, but from the condition of your dog, I can imagine what it looks like. The word rubbish comes to mind.I found her along a road, with a heavy chain wrapped around her neck, still attached to rotten boards from her doghouse. Not only did I know that most of the town people had already ignored her, judging by the place where I found her, but I knew that if she had gotten into the woods, the cross that she dragged behind her would have wrapped itself around a tree until starvation or thirst killed her.She has a beautiful name now. Already in the first week she has come to look more like she should. Her eyes sparkle and she has learned to wag her tail in greeting. She has stopped flinching( 畏缩 )when I make a sudden movement, because she knows now that I won t beat her. In fact, she rarely leaves my side. Shes even become brave enough to bark at a cat and today I looked out of the window as she attempted to play with other dogs. No, its clear that she does not miss you or her former life on a chain.It s not clear yet whether shell remain here or whether Ill find her a loving home where she can count on more individual attention than I can give her, but one thing is certain, this is a bit of stolen property which is never returning to you. So sue me, accuse me, plead with the court that she is rightfully yours. I m convinced that this is the best crime Ive ever committed. Hardly anything has pleased me more than the day when I stole your dog. I need only look into her beautiful brown eyes to know that shed defend my decision with her life. If we have one prayer, it is that you will not replace her, and if we have one special day to celebrate together, it is the day I stole your dog and the day she stole my heart.56. Whats the authors attitude towards the former owner of the dog? A. Puzzled. B. Angry.C. Shocked.D. Satisfied.57. It can be inferred from the passage that_.A. the dog is not lovely B. the dog tried to find a kind master C. the dog was treated badly by its former master D. the author will be charged with stealing the dog58. All the following statements showed us the dogs recovery from her nature except_. A. not missing her former master B. barking at a cat C. playing with other dogs D. waving her tail to make greetings59. What did the author think of his theft? A. He was afraid of being punished. B. He thought he had to do it. C. He believed that the law would allow him to do so. D. He did it with pride.BWhen an ant dies, other ants take it out of the nest, often within an hour after its death. This behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sureand so soonthat another ant is dead.One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behavior. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. He found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “Im deadtake me away” when it is dead.But theres a question to answer: As we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. But when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. However, other ants dont move the living ant out of the nest. How do they know this ant is not dead? Choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which tells nearby ants something like, “WaitIm not dead yet” when it is not dead. Choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says, “Wait Im not dead yet” quickly goes away. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body.To test his theory , Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants. When the scientists used the “Im dead” chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. When the scientists used the “WaitIm not dead yet” chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead yet” chemical overrides the “dead” chemical when picked up by other ants. And that when an ant dies, the “not dead yet” chemical fades away. Other nearby ants then detect the remaining “dead” chemical and remove the body from the nest.Understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems.60. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. Leading the following paragraphs.B. Showing the main idea of the passage.C. Introducing the background of the passage.D. Giving a summary of the passage.61. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “overrides” in the fourth paragraph?A. is weaker than B. is stronger than C. is better than D. is worse than 62. What can we learn from the passage?A. Living ants can also be taken away when they are not moving.B. When an ant dies, it can tell others using a certain chemical.C. A living ant can pretend to be dead using a special chemical.D. Ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other.63. Which of the following descriptions about Dong-Hwan Choe is right?A. Choe did this study in order to stop ants from invading new places.B. Choe is a biologist who is only interested in animals, especially in ants.C. Choe first came up with an idea to explain this ant behavior，and then did some tests to prove his theory.D. Choe did the research on this ant behavior on his ownCIt is an issue I have realized ever since I heard about an Austrian banker who said,“I always find it easier to do business with partners from Greece or Russia or Denmark. But when the lrish call, it gets complex and difficult.” zxxkAs I wrote recently, those speaking English as a second language frequently say they find it easier to talk to each other than to someone from the US, the UK ,Canada ,Ireland or Australia.Anyone wanting to get to the top of international business, medicine or academia(but possibly not sport)needs to be able to speak English to a pretty high level .Equally, any native English speaker wanting to deal with these new high achievers needs to know how to talk without confusing them.Because so many English-speakers today are monoglots（只懂一种语言的人），they have little idea how difficult it is to master another language. Many think the best way to make foreigners understand is to be chatty（健谈的）and informal. This may seem friendly but，as it probably involves using informal expressions, it makes comprehension harder.Speaking slowly helps, but avoiding figurative（比喻的）or idiomatic expressions is more important. Phrasal verbs are another trouble for non-native English speakers; imagine trying to understand the difference between“ I couldnt put up with him”and “ I agreed to put him up”.Its better to say “I couldnt tolerate him”and “ I agreed to let him stay for night ”. The words may be longer but the meaning is easier to understand.The greatest friend to anyone trying to understand another language is repetition; not saying the same thing over and over again，but saying it in different ways. 64. English speakers from non-English-speaking countries think that _.A. non-native speakers speak English even betterB. the authors English is hard to understandC. native speakers English is hard to understandD. it is easier to deal with Greeks and Russians65. As to speaking English , the author implies that _. A. theres no need for athletes to speak so well B. a successful person must speak advanced English well C. advanced English shouldnt be spoken in sports D. a successful person must speak simple English to others66. According to the author, the best way for native English speakers is _ A. to speak as slowly as possible B. to use as few words as possible C. to speak loudly so as to make it clear D. to make it clear even with more words67. Which of the expressions is the best and friendly? A. They say youre a great player. However, I dont think so, to be honest. B. Youre a great player. You play the best. Youre a great player indeed C. Youre a great player. They love you here. Your Performance is so good.D. Youre a great player. I mean you play the best. Youre really a great player.D Adult Basic Education (ABE) and GED PreparationTask:The Adult Basic Education Department serves a huge population of learners.
