But Winograds wife, Jennifer, also an animal lover, was all for it. So they packed everything they owned, and with two young children, plus two dogs, and a bunch of cats Winograd had rescued, drove crosscountry.On the second day, they had no room for six more puppies they received. They found an old horse trough, filled it with hay and nestled the animals inside. They placed it next to the front desk, and within a day or two, all six had homes, adopted by people who walked into the shelter and couldnt resist.Blind dogs, cats with missing limbsall find homes. “There is no dog or cat too old, toougly or too undesirable not to be adopted by someone,” says Winograd. Today, Tompkins County is considered the only no-kill county in the United States. Nine out of ten dogs cats that come through the shelter doors are saved. Only animals with incurable injuries or illnesses, and the truly evil, are put down. The national average is half of all dogs and 70 percent of cats, totaling more than four million animals last year alone.Even though he drives an old car that leaks when it rains, and his family lives on a tight budget while his classmates from Stanford Law earn six-figure salaries, Winograd says hes doing what hed always wanted to do when he grew up; run an animal shelter and save all the animals.As a young district lawyer, he kept his goal in mind, starting when he raised his first animal cruelty case. A man was accused of intentionally setting his brown cat on fire. Winograd made his case, and the abusive owner was sentenced to prison.It was the first of many such cases, and he raised each with vigor. But the senseless violence, neglect and ignorance never failed to shock him. He decided simply, “I need to get to the other side and start saving these animals.”Now, Winograd is helping to save thousands, even millions, “Im convinced that a no kill nation is possible, Im just here trying to shorten the time until it arrives.”56What was his fathers response when Nathan Winograd left his job as a lawyer in California?AHe was all for it. BHe was strongly against it.CHe was greatly puzzled. DHe was very angry.57How did Winograd successfully save so many animals?AHe kept all the rejected animals in a large shelter.BHe let the animals adopted by people who visited the shelter.CHe sold some of the animals and get some money.DHe delivered the animals to the local government.58Which could be the right order of the following events according to the passage?aWinograd and Jennifer set up an animal shelter.bWinograd and Jennifer lead a comfortable life.cWinograd and Jennifer got married and had two children.dWinograd and his family lived on a tight bugget. eWinograd worked against animal cruelty as a lawyer. fWinograd worked as a lawyer in California gWinograd and Jennifer moved to Tompkins County.Af-c-b-g-a-e-dBf-e-d-e-a-g-bCg-a-c-b-f-e-dDe-d-g-a-f-c-d59Which could be the best title of the passage? ABeing Rich is Important BAnimals, Our Best FriendsCNo Pet Left behind DThe Winograd Family BMy father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very tedious work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the plantation owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. Ive never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didnt want to work.I was only six years old, but I was doing a mans job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem(自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.60. The word “tedious” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _.A. difficult B. boring C. interesting D. unusual61. The writer learned that_ from his first job.A. he should work for those who he liked mostB. he should work longer than what he was expectedC. he should never fail to say hello to his ownerD. he should be respectful and faithful to the people he worked for62. _ gave the writer self-esteem.A.

He was satisfied with the job he got on a plantation.D. He wanted to make money by guiding oxen with a broomstick. CThe space shuttle Columbia flared and broke up in the skies over Texas on Saturday, February 1,2003, killing the seven astronauts on board in what NASA and President Bush called a tragedy for the entire nation. NASA launched an investigation into the disaster and began searching for the astronauts remains. It said that although there had been some data failures it was too early to nail down a precise cause. The break-up, 16 minutes before the shuttle was due to land at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, spread possibly toxic debris(有毒的残骸) over a wide swath of Texas and neighboring states.Dramatic television images of the shuttles descent clearly showed several white trails(痕迹) streaking through blue skies after the shuttle suddenly fell apart. It was almost 17 years to the day that the Challenger shuttle exploded on Jan. 28, 1986, killing all seven astronauts on board.Take-off and re-entry into Earths atmosphere are the most dangerous parts of a space mission. In 42 years of US human space flight, there had never been an accident in the descent to Earth or landing. Challenger exploded just after take-off.Rescue teams scrambled to search for the remains of the crew, which included the first Israeli to fly on the shuttle, former combat pilot Col. Ilan Ramon. There were warnings that parts of a vast 120-mile-long corridor of debris could be toxic because of poisonous rocket propellant(推进器).We are not ready to confirm that we have found any human remains, Nacogdoches County Sheriff Thomas Kerrs said. He added that among the roughly 1,000 calls reporting debris, some people said they found remains of crew members.The Columbia is lost. There are no survivors, Their mission was almost complete and we lost them so close to home. Americas space program will go on, said a grim-faced Bush in a message broadcast on television, which included condolences to the families of the dead astronauts.64. The word “descent” in the passage means _.A. taking off B. landing C. orbiting D. walking down65. Which is true of the Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon?A. He was the first Israeli astronaut to fly on the shuttle.B. He was the first foreign astronaut to fly on the American shuttle.C. He used to be a passenger plane pilot.D. He was the only survivor in the Columbia disaster.66. The Columbia disaster and the Challenger disaster were similar in that _.A. there were seven astronauts killed on boardB. both the shuttles exploded when they took offC. Both the shuttles exploded when they were about to landD. no human remains were found67. Which of the following is wrong according to the news?A. The U.S.A. will give up the space program because of the accident.B. NASA hasnt found the cause of the Columbia disaster.C. Before the Columbia disaster, no shuttles had exploded in the course of landing.D. Take-off and re-entry into Earths atmosphere are the most dangerous parts of a space mission. DTattoos and body piercings（穿孔）have moved up on the trend list in recent years. Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and “flesh ink”（纹身）. As with all other subjects, the Chinese will surely have to deal with this situation with respect to their children. To get a better view of what has happened in the West, 1ets sit down and hear what they say.Tiara from Indiana： I personally think body piercing is sickening. If there were supposed to be holes in your body，you would have been born with them. I do，however，think that ear piercing is not wrong. There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing. Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous. I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.Lee from Illinois:Hi! I live in Illinois. I am 23. I have 12 tattoos and three piercings. I love my tattoos and consider myself an art collector. You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs up on my art work. People on the street stop me to look at the tattoo on my leg. Most of them dont know what it is. They just think the work itself is great.Subotai from California:Im not forbidden of self-expression，but when I see high school students getting these piercings, I really wonder. In some cases, the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion. A friend of mine tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin. It got infected and she had a tongue the size of a cows. Jackson from Ohio:I dont think it is wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everythingI think thats ridiculous. People who get the big “dragons that cover the whole bodyI dont think thats necessary.” When I see naked chicks on guys, I think, “You have no respect for women.” 68.Who doesnt think tattoos and piercings except ear piercing are beautiful？A. JacksonB. Lee C. TiaraD. Subotai69. We can conclude that . A. tattoos and piercings are a new kind of elegant art B. all the teachers in the West are in favour of tattoos and piercingsC. everything is changeable as time goes onD. it is necessary to live with different views of beauty70. The best title for this passage is probably . A. Body Art or Causing Damage B. Doing Damage to the Young Peoples BodiesC. Young Peoples Different Curiosities D.

Sometimes they were looking for gold or silver in order to become rich. On other occasions they were searching for rich farmland. This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for fun. Even in ancient times, some pleasure travel occurred. During a typical season, 700,000 tourists would crowd into the ancient city of Rome, where animals performed and magicians entertained them 72 73 International tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010, according to the world Trade Organization.74 Probably the most common reason for traveling is related to our physical well-being. Actually, traveling to sports events is one of the fastest growing types of travel. In our fast developing society where stress has become part of peoples life, people can rest and relax by having a change of environment and activities. 75 No one seems to doubt that travel broadens the mind. In 18th century Europe, young men would go on a Grand Tour to various countries in order to complete their education.
