Do you want to come?” “No, not now,” Tom answered. “Im going to make a snowman.” Herb shook his head. “Its not snowman snow. Its too dry and soft.” Herb pushed his gloves into the snow and picked some up. He blew on the snow and it flew away like dust. Tom looked down at the ground. Snow was snow, hed always thought. How was he supposed to know there were different kinds? “What kind of snow is this?” He asked. “Its sledding（滑雪橇） snow!” laughed Addie. “Thats why we are going to Warwick hill.

Most dogs just live with their families, but some dogs have very specialjobs to do.A very special group of dogs are known as “Therapy(治疗)Dogs.” These dogs are family pets with special training. The training allows them to go into public buildings and comfort people in need. The dogs are trained to be calm and quiet. Loud noises and unfamiliar places dont frighten them. Therapy dogs can improve peoples health as well. Studies show that when people spend time with pet animals, their blood pressure and heart rates go down. They are calmer, and their mood improves. Other therapy dogs work in schools and libraries. In one town in California, the local library has trained eight dogs to be childrens reading friends. These dogs have been trained to be listening companions for young readers. The library is trying to encourage kids to enjoy reading. The children are invited to meet at the library. They are paired with a therapy dog and can read to it.The dogs make a great audience. They dont judge a child who cannot read well; they just listen quietly. The children can read at their own speed and they find it less nervous than reading in front of their class. The children look forward to reading to the dogs, and the dogs like the attention. The library and the teachers are very happy with the program25. Which of the following about therapy dogs is true according to the text? A. They love to be comforted by people. B.

Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Dogs, popular petsB. Therapy dogs in the U.S.C. Special libraries in California D. Dogs, childrens best friendsCTheir taste buds(味蕾) are used to the foods with strong flavors sold by todays fast food shops such as McDonalds, which make ordinary foods seem unattractive, especially to children who arent concerned about the nutritional value(营养价值) of what they eat. But serving fresh and healthy food is one of the best ways to make children know what they need to eat to keep healthy. Heres some advice. Research shows that to make our palate(味觉) get used to a new food, we need to taste it 8-10 times. Place small amounts of green beans, carrots on your childs plate, add a little butter or sauce that your children help you prepare, and be patient. By tasting a food several times children generally get used to eating it, so dont give it up if your children turn up their nose at a vegetable dish the first time you serve it. Dont force your children to eat what you have served. Invite them to have a taste, but dont make it a big deal. The more you try to make your children do something, the more unwilling they may become. And be cautious about pleasing your children, promising dessert if they just eat three bites like taking medicine. Mix your vegetable dishes by putting them in soups, covering them in a tasty sauce or cutting them into salads with a delicious dressing. And always have raw vegetables like carrots in your fridge that your children can eat to get their amount of vegetables at snack time, so dinner doesnt become the only opportunity to serve them vegetables. Following these tips, your children will ask for another helping of vegetable dishes without even knowing how much theyre helping themselves to be in good health.29. What is the text mainly about?A. Ways to make vegetable salads for children.B. A concern about the nutritional value of what children eat.C. The influence that foods have on childrens behavior.D. Some advice on how to get children to eat vegetables.30. For children, to get used to a new food gradually, they have to .A. taste it more than 8 times B. start with plain foodC. help themselves to it D. be patient enough31. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. Children like eating raw vegetables kept in the fridge.B. It is not easy to make children like vegetable dishes.C. Its better to serve children vegetable dishes at a snack time than other times.D. Dinner should not be the only time to serve children vegetables. DHas the number of art classes at your school been reduced? Did your school cancel next years play? Have band classes been cut? When there is not enough money for a school, the arts always seem to be the first programs that are cut. Classes in painting, dance, and music- as well as after-school activities - are often the first to go. Some people believe that money spent on arts should be cut. They say that school performance is measured by test scores, not by a successful arts program. So why shouldnt schools cut arts programs when money is tight? According to the National Governors Association (NGA), there are many reasons to keep the arts in schools. Students learning the arts have higher academic achievement and are better at planning and working toward goals. Students who study the arts are four times more likely to get academic prizes or win a writing prize, four times more likely to take part in a math or science exhibition, and more likely to score higher in creative thinking. In their report The impact of arts education on workforce preparation, the governors also notice that students in schools with strong arts programs are better-behaved. There are fewer students who are absent from school without good reasons and fewer students who leave school before they have finished their studies. So, should we cut the art because of the money problem?32. The first paragraph is written to .A. introduce the following topicB. tell us the writers opinion C. explain the importance of artsD. ask readers some questions about arts33. What does the underlined part money is tight in paragraph 2 mean?A. There is not enough money.B. A lot of money is lost.C. Its hard to make money.D. Money is not spent wisely.34. According to the NGA, .A. the arts help students get higher scores in mathB. the arts help improve students creativityC. students learning the arts are out of controlD. students learning the arts behave badly35. We can infer from the text the writer .A. agrees with cutting art classesB. thinks schools should keep art classes C. pays special attention to the artsD. thinks test scores are more important than arts programs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。Learning another language isnt easy, but most people can learn a second language well if theyre willing to put in the necessary time. Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively, overcoming anxiety, and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in foreign language classes. 36 Language learning is cumulative(积累): you cannot put it off until the weekend. Study one or two hours for every class hour if you want a good mark. Distribute(分配)your study time in 15 to 30 minutes period throughout the day. Study a different task each time: vocabulary now, grammar next, etc. Get an overview during half an hour: spend 10 minutes reviewing conversations, 10 minutes learning new vocabulary, 10 minutes learning new grammar 37About 80% of your study time should be spent on recitation(背诵) or practice.Take part in every class - even if you arent well prepared 38 Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time. Spend a few minutes “warming up” before each class by speaking or reading the language.Make yourself comfortable in the classroom Get to know your classmates, so youll feel youre among friends. 39 For example: you explain your goals and fears about the course to your teacher.Learn grammar if you dont already know it Grammar is the skeleton(骨架) and the basic structure of a language, and you must learn it.Practice for tests by doing what youll have to do on the test If the test will require you to write, then study by writing-including spelling and accents. 40 Ask for practice questions and make up your own test questions. Try to invent changes on patterns and forms. Over learning is also required in tests preparation: study beyond the paints of recognition to mastery.Develop a good attitude Have a clear personal reason for taking the class. Set personal goals for what you want to learn. Leave perfectionism at the door; give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.A. Have more practice in listening.B. Study every day.C. If youre asked to listen, practice listening.D. Class time is your best opportunity to practice.E. So youll at least have looked at it all.F.
