Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea. Two 12yearold boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once theyd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into the open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control. Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves. “Everything went quiet in my head，”Tim recalled (回忆)“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.” Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back，” he says.“ I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella！”Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him. “Lets aim for the pier (码头)，” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim？” he cried. “A little bit，” the boys said. Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys faces. “Are we almost there？” They asked again and again. “Yes，” Tim told them each time. After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.1Why did the two boys go to the sea?Ato go boat rowing. Bto get back their football.Cto swim in the open water.

People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk dog, and dogs can learn how to talk Cat.Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets-to people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.( ) 1. The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _. A. earlyB. sweetlyC. quicklyD. smoothly( ) 2. Some cats and dogs may fight when _. A. they are cold to each other B. they look away from each other C. they misunderstood each others signals D. they are introduced at an early age( ) 3. What is found surprising about cats and dogs? A. They eat and sleep each other. B. They observe each others behaviors. C. They learn to speak each others language. D. They know something from each others voices.( ) 4. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _. A. have common interests B. are less different than was thought C. have a common body language D. are less intelligent than was expected( ) 5. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs? A. We should learn to live in harmony. B. We should know more about animals. C. We should live in peace with animals. D. We should learn more body languages.这是一篇说明文，通过对猫狗和平相处的研究，让我们知道，人类应该和谐相处。1 D 词意猜测题。 根据“A recent research has found a new recipe of success.”以及“Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.”不难得出，此处应该是说猫和狗相处得很好，所以选D，意为“流畅地，顺利地”。此题易错选B，因为第二段第一句话中 sweet,但是“sweetness and light”意为“其乐融融”。2 C 细节理解题，根据第二段“One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission”不难得出答案。3 C 细节理解题，根据第三段“They are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk dog, and dogs can learn how to talk Cat.”不难得出答案，此题易错选B，因为理解错了这句话“researchers observed a surprising behavior.”4 B 细节理解题 此处的suggest意为“暗示”，根据第四段“suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected.”可以得出答案。5 A 主旨大意题 根据全文尤其是最后一段不难得出答案阅读理解。 A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?” The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. Im Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy. I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required. “All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, youll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!” A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.( ) 1. The author took the job to teach writing because _. A. he wanted to be expected B. he had written some storied C. he wanted to please his father D. he had dreamed of being a teacher( ) 2. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2? A. He would be aggressive in his first c
