I wanted to get experience for what I thought would be my future job. However，on one particular Saturday morning I learnt something perhaps more important.The hospital was in the middle of one of the poorer parts of the city and some people could only pay for the most basic treatments. On this Saturday，a man and his young son，who was probably about 7 years old，walked in with a small cat in a cardboard box. There was something wrong with the cats left eye. But the man could not afford to pay for the cost of the medicine. He kept quiet for a while，and then he asked where the nearest animal shelter was. Hearing this，his son cried and started to argue with him. All of a sudden，an older woman who was sitting in the waiting room stood up，walked up to the counter，and told the man that she would pay for the cost. The man thanked her and the son got to keep a healthy cat.I always thought it was the right thing to help out a needy person，but I only saw people do acts of kindness on TV or in movies. What the woman did made me believe that these things do happen in real life，and quite often.Now，when I cant decide whether to help someone who is in need，I remember this woman，and then I have the courage to step up to the plate. Sometimes other people follow.24.We can infer that a vets is most probably a hospital for . A.kids B.the poor C.animals D.women 25.For what purpose did the writer work at the vets?

A.the man doesnt like keeping a cat B.the older woman often helps people out C.the mans son didnt agree to the mans first decision D.the hospital often asks for too much moneyC.Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine (缝纫机）but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread（线）to run smoothly around the needle.Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practiced sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.28. According to the passage, Elias Howe was_.A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleepB. much more hard-working than other inventorsC. the first person to design a sewing machine that really workedD. the only person at the time who knew the value of dreams29. The problem Howe was trying to solve was_.A. what kind of thread to useB. how to design a needle which would not breakC. where to put the needleD. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle30. Thomas Edison is spoken of because_.A. he also tried to invent a sewing machineB. he got some of his ideas from dreamsC. he was one of Howes best friendsD. he also had difficulty in falling asleep31. Dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves” because _.A. strange images are used to communicate ideasB. images which have no meaning are usedC. we can never understand the real meaningD. only specially trained people can understand themD.A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.“Daddy, how much money do you make each hour?”“If you must know, I make 20 each hour.”“Oh,” the little boy answered, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me 10?”The father was furious, “If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, go straight to your room and think about why you areso selfish (自私)！”The little boy went to his room with no words and shut the door. After a short while, the father calmed (平静) down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didnt really ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boys room.“Sorry！Maybe I was too hard on you just now.” said the man, “Heres 10.”“Oh, thank you Daddy！” he said happily. Then the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily.“Because I didnt have enough, but now I do.” The little boy replied, “Daddy, I have 20 now. Can I buy one hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you. ”32.In this passage, the underlined word “furious” means _.A.very angryB.quite happyC.too excitedD.a little nervous33.At first, the father refused to lend the money because _.A.he thought the boy wanted to keep the money for himself.B.he did not have enough money at that momentC.he thought the boy would buy something of no useD.the boy always borrowed money from him34.The boy wanted to buy _ with twenty dollars.A.a new novel for himselfB.a nice present for his fatherC.a toy for his own birthdayD.one hour of his fathers time35.From the passage, we can infer that the boys father_ .A.often played with his sonB.spent little time with his sonC.didnt love his son at allD.often came home early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。Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep TalkingMillions of people are using cell phones today.
