Bookstores arent exactly full of books of names for your new pet. But dont give up.You might want to pull a few ideas from the following list to see if you can find the perfect name for your new pet.Try some of your favorite books. Why not choose a character from one of these books? What is your favorite novel of all time, for instance?Pick your favorite place in the whole world and choose a name associated with that place. Sometimes even the name of a country will work.If some of your friends have a good sense of humor, choose one of their names and give it to your pet. Or, you can adapt it ever so slightly.If you have children, let your children use their wonderful imaginations. Chances are that they will have plenty of ideas if you go to them as a resource. Its also a nice gift to your children to give them this fun task.One thing to think about is that you will need to train your pet with this name. You want a name that will work well when you are calling the name of your pet time and time again!Names that end in “ie” and “y” are always fun and easy pet names. Ideas include Bonny, Bonnie, Friendly, Susie, Katie, Danny, etc. Yes, some of these names are typical names used for humans. But if you truly love your new pet, what difference does it make?You want, of course, not to offend anyone. If your grandmother is particularly stuffy, perhaps you do not want to name your new pet after her third husband! So youve brought home your new puppy, youve already gone to the pet store to buy a bunch of toys, and its time to name your new animal friend. Be original, have fun, and enjoy the new addition to your family!21. It can be inferred from the passage that_.A.naming a new pet is not a difficult task at allB. most elderly people dont like a pet to be named after their husband or wifeC.when youre naming your new pet, you wont get any help from bookstoresD. most children would like to give their pets names22.

What does the underlined word “stuffy” most probably mean?A.Generous. B. Boring. C. Active D.Optimistic.B(Reuters)Australian scientists are gluing tiny sensors（传感器） onto thousands of honey bees to track their movements in a trial aimed at ending the spread of diseases that have wiped out populations in the northern hemisphere（北半球）.Scientists at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australias national science agency, said the microchips could help deal with so-called colony collapse disorder, a situation where bees mysteriously disappear from their living places, and the attack of the varroa mite (蜂虱).Scientists will use small tools to glue on the sensors, weighing about 5 milligrams and measuring 2.5 millimeters (a little more than 1/16 of an inch) square, after calming the bees to sleep by refrigeration. Some young bees, which tend to be hairier than older bees, need to be shaved before the sensor can be glued on. Scientists will examine the effectiveness of pesticides in protecting the bees from colony collapse disorder and varroa mite.The study will also enable farmers and fruit growers to understand and manage their crops, given the honey bees important role in the pollination (授粉) of crops globally, the CSIRO said in a statement issued on Wednesday. “Honey bees play a vital role in the landscape through a free pollination service for agriculture, which various crops rely on to increase production,” the CSIROs Paulo de Souza, who is leading the project, said in the statement.“Using this technology, we aim to understand the bees relationship with its environment.” Scientists plan to fit sensors on 5,000 bees in the southern island state of Tasmania over the Australian summer. The radio frequency identification sensors work like an electronic tag for cars on a charged road, recording when insects pass a checkpoint. That will allow scientists to build a three-dimensional image (三维图像) of the insects movements. The scientists are working on shrinking the sensor to 1 mm square so they can be attached to smaller insects, including mosquitoes.25. Why are the young bees shaved according to the passage?A. To recognize them easily. B. To glue the sensors on them easily.C. To get rid of the varroa mite. D. To make them lighter than before.26. What benefit can bees bring farmers and fruit growers according to the passage?A. Managing their crops effectively.B. Preventing pollination service between different cropsC. Helping to get rid of the pests.D. Increasing crop production.27. What can we know about the sensor?A.It will become smaller. B .It will become cheaper.C.It will become bigger. D.It will be exported.28. Whats the main idea of the passage?A.Bees are becoming endangered if not rescued by scientists.B.A study on the relationship between bees and the environment.C.Australian scientists microchip bees to map movements, stop diseases.D.New technology being used to stop the spread of colony collapse disorder.CThe Asian carp (鲤鱼), a species of fish brought from China to the US several decades ago, is a growing concern in the mid-west state of Illinois. The number of Asian carp in the states waterways has soared in recent years, choking out many native fish species. But state officials hope to solve the problem, and also strike a blow against local hunger, by changing public attitudes towards the fish.Asian carp found in the Illinois River are large, much too plentiful, and, says Travis Loyd, deputy director of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. “Its ugly. The fish is not a pretty fish, ” he said. But Louisiana chef Philippe Parola strongly disagrees. “This fish is just as good-looking as a salmon (鲑鱼) or a lake trout or any others. So quit calling it ugly because its not ugly, its very palatable and very pleasing when you taste it.” he said.Asian carp is widely consumed in China, but most fish-eaters in the United States avoid it because they confuse it with native carp. These fish are bottom-feeders, which makes many people believe they are polluted by poisonous pollutants, including mercury (汞). But Asian carp, which are not really carp at all, feed on plankton (浮游生物) near the surface of rivers and lakes. That is why theyre often seen jumping out of the water.Another reason many Americans avoid eating Asian carp is that it is bony, and hard to sell in fresh fish markets. But Chef Creehan says when the fish is cooked, the bones come out easily, enabling food processors to package it as a ready-to-serve product. Better still, says Creehan: Asian carp is cheap. “The average price per pound of ocean fish is $6 a pound (or about $13 per kilogram) whole. This is looking at 12 to 20 cents (per pound, or about 26 to 40 cents per kilogram). So this is so affordable,” he said.29. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Solution to Asian carp invasion.B. Different opinions on Asian carp.C. Misunderstanding of Asian carp.D. Comparison between Asian carp and native carp.30. Whats the writing method of Paragraph 2?A. By giving examples. B. By stressing exceptional cases.C. By comparison. D. By giving definition.31. It can be inferred from the passage that_A. Asian carp is poisonousB. fish eaters in the United States dont like native carpC. Asian carp will be killed in AmericaD. Asian carp is not popular in ChinaDThe two thingssnow and mountainswhich are needed for a ski area are the two things that cause avalanches (雪崩), large mass of snow and ice crushing down the side of a mountainoften called “White Death”.It was the threat of the avalanche and its record as a killer of man in the western mountains that created the snow ranger (管理员). He first started on avalanche control work in the winter of 193738 at Alta, Utah, in Wasatch National Forest.This mountain valley was becoming well known to skiers. It was dangerous. In fact, more than 120 persons had lost their lives in 1936 and another 200 died in 1937 as a result of avalanches before it became a major ski area.Thus, development of Alta and other major ski resorts in the west was dependent upon controlling the avalanche. The Forest Service set out to do it, and did, with its teams of snow rangers.It takes many things to make a snow ranger. The snow ranger must be in excellent physical condition. He must be a good skier and a skilled mountain climber. He should have at least a high school education, and the more college courses in geology, physics, and related fields he has, the better.He studies snow, natural features of the ground, wind and weather. He learns the conditions that produce avalanches. He learns to forecast avalanches and to bring them roaring on down the mountainsides to reduce their killing strength. The snow ranger learns to do this by using artillery (炮火的总称), by exploding with TNT, and by the difficult and skillful art of skiing avalanches down. The snow ranger, dressed in a green fur coat which has a bright yellow shoulder patch, means safety for people on ski slopes (斜坡). He uses guns to test snow stability or talks with the ski areas operator as he goes about his work to protect the public from the danger of deep snow on steep mountain slopes.32. A snow ranger himself must be a _A. college graduate B. physicist C. .mountaineer D geologist33. A snow ranger uses very powerful artillery_A. to create an avalancheB.to communicate with the ski area operatorC.to signal for help in an emergencyD. to warn skiers of an approaching avalanche34. What is the primary duty of the snow ranger?A. To predict and control avalanches in mountainous areas.B. To make sure ski area operators are following safety rules.C.To check skis and repair them.D.To forecast the weather.35. The passage implies that a snow ranger_A.has a long working day B.knows how to use a gunC.must write lengthy reports on his workD.may travel many miles when he is on duty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。Have you heard the sentence “No man is an island”?
