He is, even today, believed to have courage and adventure(冒险). But what was the life of a cowboy really like?The cowboys job is clear from the word “cowboy”. A cowboy, according to dictionary explanation, is a man who rides a horse and whose job is to care for cattle(牛). The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef from these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboys job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns.These trips were called cattle drives. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much, each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses several times each day.The cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive, the cowboys branded(给-烙上印) the cattle. They burned a mark on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But these marks didnt stop rustlers(盗窃牲口的人), or cattle thieves. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers. Rustlers made the already dangerous trip even more dangerous.Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous, cowboys did not earn much money. They were paid badly. But cowboys liked their way of life. They lived in a wild and open country. They lived a life full of adventure and freedom.34. A cowboys job is _.A. to send beef to the city people B. to be a hero in moviesC. to take care of cattle D. to brand the cattle35. During a cattle drive, cowboys took the cattle _.A. to the East from the West B. onto the trainsC. to the people in the cities D. to the railroad towns36.Cowboys branded the cattle to _.A. keep them from being stolen B. make the cattle drive dangerous C. show their courage D. protect their beef37. Cowboys enjoyed themselves because _.A. they could live a free life with excitement B. they made a lot of moneyC. they loved the difficult and dangerous job D. they were heroes in moviesCJust a couple of hours ago, I was on the plane, ready to fly home from London. The flight had been put off by a few hours so it felt good to be so close to take-off. I had my iPod in place and a new book to read. Then, over the loudspeaker came the pilots voice: “Were sorry to tell you we must cancel this flight because theres still something wrong with the plane.”The passengers reactions(反应)that announcement led to were interesting. One man close to me began to argue with an air hostess. A couple in another row complained loudly. A businessman in a black suit even kicked the seat in front of him. Yet some passengers acted differently. An elderly gentleman smiled as he helped others take their bags down from the shelf. A teenager, rather than trying to rush off the plane like most of the other passengers, stopped to help a woman with a disability. The lady sitting next to me laughed and said: “Hey, its not the end of the world,” before she made a call to her kids and shared her adventure with them.No life is perfect; mine certainly isnt. We all must face challenges, both large and small. You and I have the power to choose to rise above the external circumstances(外部环境). We always have the choice to be strong and kind when we are in trouble.My seatmate was right things didnt get that terrible. Anyway, I am safe. I have my health. I have two wonderful children. I have work I love and so much to be grateful for. Sure I now have to wait a few hours to catch the next flight home.38. What caused the passengers different reactions?A. The loudspeaker.B. The airhostess.C. The planes problem.D. The pilots announcement.39. Who turned his anger on the seat?A. A teenager helping the disabled.B. An old man taking bags down.C. A man in a black suit.D. A man close to the writer.40. What did the woman sitting next to the writer do?A. She complained loudly.B. She made a phone call to her family.C. She helped others carry their bags.D. She told moving stories to her children.41. What can we learn from the story?A. Our life is full of ups and downs.B. It is natural to be scared and angry in trouble.C. We should help each other .D. Keep calm and hopefulwhen life is hard.DIf I were to ask you to close your eyes and I gave you a piece of apple to eat, would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it? Of course, you could. Your tongue (舌头) helps you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose? What You Need a friend to help small pieces of any food like carrot, orange, bananawhatever you have small pieces of apples, raw (uncooked) potato and (if you are brave) onion (洋葱)What You DoThere are actually three different experiments. You and your friend should take turns trying them on each other. Experiment 1: Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth. Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it. Then, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly. Experiment 2: While your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of raw potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple! You can even do it the other way around, and she will think she is eating a potato, or, perhaps, she wont be able to name what she is eating. Experiment 3: (for the brave) Take a piece of raw onion. You dont have to close your eyes this time. Press your nose closed with your other hand so that no smells can get into your nose. Now eat a small piece of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion. The Science SecretYou already know the science secret. Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavors like salty, bitter, sour, and sweet. All of the other “tastes” are actually “smells”, and you need your nose to taste them. Oh, you might use this science secret the next time you are forced to eat something you dont like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat it, you wont “taste” it at all. 42. According to this article, what could a person know about food? A. People hold their noses to eat onions.B. If you close your eyes, food will taste better.C. People need a sense of smell to taste some food.D. If you can smell potatoes, you will taste apples.43. What is the most probable reason Experiment 3 is called “for the brave”? A. You have to eat a raw onion.B. You keep your eyes open.C. You have to hold your nose.D. You do the experiment alone.44. What can we learn from the passage? A. Knowledge comes from personal experience. B. Team work helps us to find out science secrets. C. We should have courage while doing experiments. D. We cant draw a conclusion simply from the feeling.45. Whats the passage mainly about? A. Why different foods can smell the same. B. How smell influences the way food tastes. C. Why some things smell better than others. D. How smell changes the way we see things. 四、词汇运用（共l0小题；每小题l分，计l0分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）46.

But taking thetime to develop a good relationship with your neighbours can bring you many advantages,including a friendlier community, a safer neighbourhood and a nicer and more comfortable area.There are some suggestions for you to be a good neighbour. If youre new in the neighbourhood,introduce yourself. Say hello, offer a welcoming gift and share or ask about the local area. Be aware of the shared walls. If you and your neighbours share living spaces and live close to each other,try to put the noisy washing machines and dryers away from the sharedwalls. Keep your pet dog on a leash (皮带) if it has a habit of running wildly on your neighbours lawns,especially if they have a pet of their own, and make sure to clean up after it. When you park your car, be sure not to block anyones doorway or leave thema very small parking space. Dont slam (砰地关上) your car doors late at night. Cutthe grass in your garden as often as you can, because the grass in your yard is not only uglybut also can spread to your neighbours yard.Really good neighbours look after each other. They offer to help, especially on matters that have influence onthe larger neighbourhood and look for chances to communicate.
