Mrs. Smiths dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house. Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently: “Take this to the butcher(屠夫). And hes going to give you your lunch today.” Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butchers. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the ladys handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once. At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers.But, the dog came again at four oclock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butchers more surprise, it came for the third time at six oclock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!25Mrs. Smith treated her little dog quite _.A. cruelly B. fairly C. kindly D. impatiently26It seemed that the dog knew well that the paper Mrs. Smith gave it _.A. might do it much harm B. could do it much good C. would help the butcher D. was worth many pounds27The butcher did not give any meat to the dog _.A. before he felt sure that the words were really written by Mrs. SmithB. when he found that the words on the paper were not clearC. because he had sold out all the meat in his shopD. until he was paid enough by Mrs. Smith28At the end of the story, youll find that _.A. the dog was clever enough to write on the paper B. the dog dared not go to the butchers any moreC. the butcher was told not to give any meat to the dog D. the butcher found himself cheatedCElectric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered(汽油动力) cousins.People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions(零排放) vehicles,” but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Aside from the few folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators（发电机）. Generators are fueled by something usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal(地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.In other words, those “zero-emissions” cars are likely coal-burning cars. Its just the coal is burned somewhere else so it looks clean. It is not. Its as if the California Greens are covering their eyes “If I cant see it, its not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.A gallon of gas may power your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas wont get you nearly as far so electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes (核发电站), or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we dont use much of those energy sources.In addition, electric cars batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill (垃圾堆). And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When its a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.29. Compared with cars using gas, electric cars _.A. do not burn fuel and more environmentalB. are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill C. are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentratedD. are more poisonous because their batteries are buried in one spot30. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. Being green is good and should be encouraged in communicationsB. Electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins.C. Zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment.D. Electric cars are not clean because we get electricity mainly by burning something.31. The author wrote the passage to _.A. encourage us to buy electric carsB. advocate buying gasoline-powered carsC. expose the truth of “zero-emissions vehicles”D. advertise a new type of carsDA Chinese actors divorce from his wife, over her allegedextramarital affair, has social media buzzing, with posts about the subject gaining over five billion views.Wang Baoqiang announced online on Sunday that he was divorcing his wife, Ma Rong, and sacking his agent, Song Zhe.

Wang has alleged that his wife transferred and hid some of the couples property.
