Perhaps there is an1 mailing address and there is no return address. The post office cannot just 2 the mail, so it becomes “dead mail”. Dead mail is 3to one of the U.S. Post Services in Atlanta, New York, and San Francisco. Seventy-five million pieces of mail can be put in these offices in one year.There the workers of the dead mail offices have 4 ways to deal with all of these pieces of dead mail. First of all, they look for something 5 that can help them deliver the mail; they open packages, expecting that something 6 will show where the package came from or is going to. Dead mail will also be listed on a 7 so that people can call in and check to see if a missing thing is there on the screen. However, all of this mail cannot simply be 8 forever; there is just too much of it. When a lot of dead mail comes together, the dead mail offices hold public auctions (拍卖). Every three months, some people who are 9 are invited to the offices with objects（物品） found in dead mail packages and they are sold to the10 bidder (出价者).（1）A . impatient B . important C . unclear D . inactive （2）A . turn off B . eat up C . sell out D . throw away （3）A . sent B . returned C . lent D . sold （4）A . no B . several C . silly D . cruel （5）A . waste B . expensive C . useful D . new （6）A . funny B . inside C . useless D . outside （7）A . phone B . mirror C .

As we celebrate International Dog Day, I wanted to focus on a specific type of dog that is perhaps the most misunderstood breed in the worldthe pit bull. It makes me unhappy that public opinion about pit bulls is that they are extremely dangerous. If a pit bull is that meaning, thats only as a result of being taught to fight other dogs to the death in dogfights. The truth is that a pit bull is very faithful and loving.A pit bull is a cross between a terrier and a bulldog. Thats why their coloring can be different from one dog to the next. Pit bulls all have short fur. They came over to the U.S. from Britain with their immigrant farming families. Pit bulls guarded the cows, sheep and family from thieves. They were beloved members of the family because they were so faithful and loving. They were also very strong, especially their jaws.Unfortunately, bad men turned a good thing into a bad thing. Since these dogs will do anything to please their masters, it was easy for these men to teach the dogs to be killers. Dogs fought other dogs in fenced pits. Dog fighting became illegal(非法的) in the U.S. in 1875, but it still goes on. Today, pit bulls continue to be farm dogs, but they are also trained as police dogs, search dogs and of course they make great pets!I have a pit bull myself. Piper is the friendliest dog youll ever meet. He sleeps next to me at night. Even though he is an adult dog now, he still acts like a puppy sometimes. He would never bite me or anyone else! With proper and loving training, pit bulls are the best pets ever!（1）What is the meaning of breed in Paragraph 1? A . A specific type of dog.B . Public opinion about dogs.C . Dangerous dogs.D .

Our personalities (性格) tell a lot about who we are. But whats surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health. Thats according to researchers at Duke University, US.During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (评定) their personalities into two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or a friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at the age of 26 were in better health after 12 years.Being careful means that people are more likely to have a lot of self-control (自控力), and are less likely to smoke. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and a healthy diet, the scientists said.From those who were less careful, 45 % developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health problems included gum disease and high blood pressure. To compare, only 18 % of careful people went to develop health problems.Another positive (积极的) personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious (好奇的) and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So theyd be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease.According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle.But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal?（1）What kind of people are more likely to develop health problems? A . Careful people.B . Less careful people.C . Those who have self-control.D . Those who are curious and imaginative.（2）By the age of 38, MORE of the less careful people developed health problems than the careful people.A . 18%B . 27%C . 45%D . 63%（3）Which of the following shows the writers opinion? A . Careful people are more likely to have an active lifestyle.B . Scientists assessed peoples personalities into two ways in the experiment.C . The study found that those who were careful develop fewer health problems.D . A doctor who knows our personality may not be able to really improve our health.（4）Whats the best title of the passage?A . Healthy Personality.B . Unhealthy Personality.C . Personalities and Health.D . Different Personalities.三、 任务型阅读（本题有5小题，每小题1分；共计5分） (共1题；共5分)6. （5分）（1）题判断句子正误，（2）题完成句子（3）、（4）题简略回答问题，（5）题把划线部分的句子译成汉语。 Once upon a time, there was an old woman who lived in a small house.
