They can actually be quite lazy! Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distance running. They do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the bed or a comfortable seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive(好斗的) because they are big in size. In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.Greyhounds can live for 12 14 years but usually only race for two or three years, and after that they make great pets. They dont need a lot of space, dont make a lot of noise, and dont eat a lot for their size.Normally, greyhounds can be as tall as 90 cm. There is, however, a small-sized greyhound, which stands only 33cm. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors. Grey and yellowish-brown are the most common. Others include black, white, blue, red and brown or a mix of these.Greyhounds have smooth body coats, low body fat and are very healthy. Because theyre slim (苗条的) they dont have the leg problems like other dogs the same height. But they do feel the cold, especially since they would much rather be at home in bed than walking around outside.61. The text is written mainly_.A. to tell people how to raise greyhoundsB. to let people know more about greyhoundsC. to explain why greyhounds are aggressiveD. to describe greyhounds of different colors62. It can be inferred that greyhounds_.A. love big doghousesB. like staying in bed all dayC. make the best guard dogsD. need some exercise outdoors63. Why does the author say that greyhounds make great pets?A. They are big in size.B. They live a very long life.C. They can run races for some time.D. They are quiet and easy to look after.64. If you keep a pet greyhound, it is important_.A. to keep it slimB. to keep it warmC. to take special care of its legsD. to take it to animal doctors regularly（B）Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friends. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that Id left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池)was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.Just how friendly is Friendly Ford? I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.Thank you - two powerful words. Theyre easy to say and mean so much.65. The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City_.A. to visit a friend B. to see his parentsC. to pay at the cash register D. to have more gas for his car66. The words “took off” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean “_”.A. turned off B. moved off C. put up D. set up67. What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?A.

By telling his own experiences, the author tries to show_.A. how to write a thank-you letterB. how to deal with car problemsC. the kind-heartedness of older peopleD. the importance of expressing thanks（C）Last year my sixth-grader daughter, Elizabeth, was forced to put up with science. Her education week after week, contained mindless memorization of big words like “batholith” and “saprophyte”. She learned by heart the achievements of famous scientists who did things like “improved nuclear fusion（核聚变）”never mind that she hasnt the least idea of what nuclear fusion means. Elizabeth did very well (shes good at memorizing things ). And now she hates science. My eighth-grader son, Ben, also suffered from science education. Week after week he had to perform lab experiments with answers already known. Ben figured out how to guess the right answers, so he got good grades. Now he hates science, too.Science can provide an exciting way to develop childrens curiosity. Science education should teach ways to ask questions and seek answers. But my children got the mistaken idea in school that science is difficult, dull and has no relation to their everyday interests.As a physicist, I am saddened and angered to see “the great science turnoff”. I know that science is important in our lives. Yet studies prove that our schools are turning out millions of graduates who know almost nothing about and have almost no interest in science. Whats gone wrong? Who is to blame?70. We learn from Paragraph 1 that .Athe writer was proud of Elizabeth and BenBboth Elizabeth and Ben could become scientistsCElizabeth had to learn much about great scientistsDBen was good at trying new ideas in lab experiments71. The writer thinks that in science education we should first .Aget students interested in the subjectBanswer students questions in delightful ways.Csmooth out difficulties in lab experimentsDexplain the special terms clearly72. By writing the text ,the author questions .A. the difficulty level of the science textsB. the way science is taught in schoolC. the achievements of famous scientistsD. students poor records in science classes(D)Across the world, 1.1 billion people have no access to clean drinking water. More than 2.5 billion people lack basic sanitation.(卫生设备)The combination proves deadly. Each year, diseases related to inadequate water and sanitation kill between 2 and 5 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world. Safe drinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate, inequality between men and women, and poverty.Consider these facts:The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers.Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water and only 37 percent of children in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet.Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-borne diseases.Here are three ways you can help:1) Write CongressCurrent U.S. foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American citizen. Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters about clean drinking water abroad.2) Sponsor a project with a faith-based organizationMany U.S. religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations abroad. Simply put a single project by a U.S. organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of people.3) Support nonprofit water organizationsNumerous U.S.-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects related to drinking water and sanitation. Like the sample of non-profits noted as follows, some organizations are large, other small-scale, some operate worldwide, others are devoted to certain areas in Africa, Asia, or Latin America. Support them generously.73. The three facts presented in the passage are used to illustrate that_.A. poverty can result in water-borne diseasesB. people have no access to clean drinking waterC. womens rights are denied in some developing countriesD. safe drinking water should be a primary concern74. The intended readers of the passage are_.A. Americans B. overseas sponsorsC. Congressmen D. U.S.-based water organizations75. The main purpose of the passage is to call on peop
