However, that is not the purpose of the organizers of the Sonoma-Marin Fair where the popular event has been held for the past 28 years. Among the 17 dogs that walked across the red carpet was Second-time entrant(参赛者)Katana. The seven-year-old little wire-haired Dachshund, who now lives with her mom in Santa Rosa, was rescued from a cage at a pet store in Japan. She loves to eat and steal and hide her owners belongings. Also in competition was lcky. Rescued from an animal collector in Butte County, the “ugly”dog has helped raise over $10,000 for AID-related charities and also been featured in various movies, commercials, magazines and newspapers.Though all the dogs were winners in their own right, there could be Only one “The Worlds Ugliest Dog”. That honor, which came with a big prize and a $1,500 cash prize, went to Sweepee Rambo. The four-pound Chinese Crested dog with an attractive blond Mohawk(莫霍克头) impressed both the judges and audience with her tongue and hairless coat.Josie won the runner-up(亚军), while Rue, another Chinese-Crested dog from Linden, Came in the third place. First-time entrant Rooby Roux, went home with the Spirit Award. Started in 2015, it honors dogs that have gotten over hardship. Given that Roux lost her original owner to a disease and lost her eyesight to glaucoma(青光眼), she certainly deserved it. The good news is that the new family loves her and is even trying to get her sight restored. Of course, while these dogs have found loving families, there are many dogs that are not as fortunate. The fair organizers hope that this contest will help people realize that even the not-so-perfect dogs can also be loving and loyal(忠诚), and encourage more people to adopt them. 25.

I travelled to Oxford, England to take a Shakespeare course at Oxford University. Two of the best aspects about the program were that I completed a full year course in one month, and that as the course was taught by an instructor from my university, I didnt have to worry about transferring credits(转学分)!Completing a full year course in one month was intensive(强度大的). Even though I was overseas, I wasnt on vacation. There was a lot of work to do, just like in a regular course: readings, assignments, a mid-term; and an exam. But it was an enriching experience because I got to see the material I was studying brought to life. Studying abroad allowed me to experience integrated(综合的) learning. I got to see plays at Shakespeares Globe in London and the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford. I 1ove reading Shakespeare, and being able to see his works in action was great for my learning because it allowed me to understand the material better.The Summer Abroad program is, of course, mainly centred around academics. However, there was time for fun and time to explore. Classes were on Monday to Thursday mornings, so that Thursday afternoon, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were left as free time although there was a lot of studying to do during those hours! Some people took trips to different countries within Europe because travelling is much cheaper there. I chose to spend a few days in London, exploring the typical tourist attractions such as Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. Studying abroad was an amazing experience, and I made some new friendships that will last a lifetime. 29. We can know from the passage that .A. the program can be finished in 30 daysB. the Summer Abroad program is the best way to earn creditsC. its a waste of time to finish the Shakespeare course in a yearD. only in Oxford can we learn the Shakespeare course well30. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. The author liked to watch plays. B. The author was busy with academics.C. Studying abroad was too challenging for the author. D. Many of Shakespeares works were brought to life.31. During free time the author .A. visited some places of interest in LondonB. read Shakespeares: works in librariesC. made as many new friends as possibleD. traveled to different European countries32. How did the author feel about his summer vacation abroad?A. It was unexpected. B. It was troublesome.C. It was boring. D. It was rewarding.DAn eco-friendly Danish company has come up with a new productplantable pencils, as a way of highlighting the concept of sustainability(可持续性). The creations made by Danish company Sprout focus on things you can recycle and plant like pencils, cards and stickers. Their plantable pencils are oneof their hot products, As the name suggests, plantable pencils are fitted with a small capsule at the end that contains seeds. Michael Stausholm, Sprouts chief manager, says once the pencil is too short to use, it can be planted in soil instead of being thrown away. “It shows peoplekids, grownupsin a very easy way what sustainability is all about. Dont just use things and throw them away. Use things, and then use them for something else. In this case, we give it new life. ”The seeds inside the capsules range from flowers to herbs and fruiting plants. The botanist says they are testing out more varieties, especially those difficult to grow in cooler northern European homes to ensure their pencils contain the best possible variety of a particular seed. Stausholm said, “People seem to really love the eco pencil and the fact that it has so many practical uses. I also think the fact that it is 100 per cent sustainable and is handmade from only natural materials makes it more appealing. Sprout now sells between 300,000 and 400,000 pencils a month. IKEA, Disney, Pepsi, and Bank of America, as well as public bodies and citizens, are all on Sprouts customer list. They are also developing small waterproof boxes called “Tiny Gardens”, targeted at people who dont want to keep soil in the kitchen. Though some are ignoring their importance when it comes to longer term sustainability, Stausholm says the plantable products can still make an impact. “We dont think that we save the planet at all, but its a small thing, its the small things that we do in our everyday lives, step by step. We can all make a difference in the way we think when we consume.”33. Whats special about the plantable pencil?A. It can grow into different plants. B. It can be made into different seeds. C. It can be planted in special soil. D. It can be kept in waterproof boxes. 34. What can we learn from the passage?A. Plantable pencil is the only successful product of Sprout. B. Only handmade products will have sustainability. C. The plantable pencils have become popular in many countries. D. The eco pencil are refused in northern European countries. 35. The author writes the passage in order to .A. advertise the plantable pencils to the worldB. introduce a new and sustainable way of writingC. make a difference in the world step by stepD. introduce a new and eco-friendly product第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分). 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(E=AB F=BC G=CD)One of the greatest times in my life began in the professional baseball world.
