Later we had a test.When the exam paper was returned to me, I was _ and sad. There was a big red “” through each of my answers. I failed. But how come? Anyway, on the test paper, I had written down _ Mr. Jackson said in class.Then I realized that no one passed the exam at all. What had happened?“Very simple,” Mr. Jackson explained. “I had _ all that story about the wampus. There had never been any such animal, so the information in your notes was not correct. Do you _ to get high marks for incorrect answers?”There was no need to say we were _. What kind of test was this? What kind of teacher was he?How could we believe he gave us so much information about an animal that had not been there at all?

There are lots of reasons for this.First, dogs are really cute. Its nice to pick them up and hold them in our arms, and its wonderful to see them growing up quickly.Second, your dog might not be dangerous but by simply barking he can keep away a burglar who might think of entering your house.Finally, we can also learn about life and death from dogs. Young people can learn how to care for others and how to respect all living things by keeping a pet dog.I think keeping pet dogs is something everyone can enjoy.Keeping pet dogs is not a good idea, say JaneIn my opinion, it is never a good idea to keep a pet dog.Firstly, pet dogs create a lot of mess. They leave fur and hair on the floor, on beds and on sofas, and they need to be washed daily.Secondly, we should remember that not all dogs are friendly. Some dogs bark at people they do not know. A few dogs bark all night. This stops their neighbors from getting any sleep. A small number of pet dogs even bite people.Lastly, you have to make sure pet dogs are in good health and provided with good pet products. Paying for dog food and seeing thevetwhen dogs are ill can be expensive.I believe that people should not keep pet dogs.35 . Tony would probably think it_ to put pet dogs on beds.AuncomfortableBacceptableCdangerousDuntidy36 . From the underlined part, we can guess “vet” means“ _”.Aplaces where people can buy dog foodBplaces where people can treat dogsCpeople who can train dogs to do something usefulDpeople who provide medical care for dogs37 . Tony and Jane disagree on _.Athe growth of petsBthe sound made by dogsCthe money paid for petsDwhether dogs need washing dailyYou probably enjoy visiting the zoo， but at one time people visited a zoological garden Zoo is short for zoological garden When a word has been shortened， it is called a clip For example， a ref is a short form of the word referee Over time， many words in English have been clipped Perhaps you go to and back from school on a bus Students traveled on an omnibus in the past Math and exams are short for mathematics and examinations A mike is a short form of a microphone Something that is a curio was once a curiosityWhen you visit a zoological garden， you may see rhinos if you are lucky enough This animal certainly has a big nose in the Greek language， rhinos means nose In English， a rhino is the same as a rhinoceros Other words have rhinos in them， too A rhinovirus might affect your nose This virus is what people get when they have a cold When you have diseases in the nose， you must see a rhinologist， who can treat youBut on the other hand， some words are really combinations（结合体）of two or more words The new words are called blends The meaning of a blend shows the meanings of both words it comes from For example， the words smoke and fog blend to make smog Do you know what motor and hotel make when combined？ Youre right its motel Which two words do you think brunch comes from？38 . Which of the following is a clip？AExaminationBRefereeCCurioDMotel39 . Which of the following is a doctor？ARhinosBZoologicalCRhinovirusDRhinologist40 .

What can you conclude from the passage？AIt is hard to learn clipped wordsBRiding on an omnibus was not safeCClips are easier to pronounce and spellDPeople dont like to use short words42 . What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？ACombining smoke and fogBLearning about blendsCHow motel got its meaningDForming combined words四、根据首字母、中文提示填空根据句意及首字母提示完成单词43 . Hi, Cindy.
