They teach each other things and they look after each other. Tip has helped Brendan become more_and more caring. Brendan is a nine-year-old boy, and Tip is a ten-year-old dog. Brendan and Tip are an example of how owning a dog can have a good_on a childs development. Having a dog helps a child learn how to act responsibly. As a dog owner, the child must take care of the animals daily needs. The dog must be _and exercised every day. A dog is completely _ on its owner for all its needs, including the need for good health and a safe environment. Furthermore, the owner must take responsibility for the safety of the people it comes into contact with. If the child forgets any of these duties and responsibilities, or _ a blind eye to any of the dogs needs, the dog will suffer (遭罪). This teaches the child that his responsibility to the dog is more important than his desire (欲望) to play with his toys, talk on the phone, on watch TV. This is true not only for the care of a dog, but also for the care of oneself, another person, or ones job.Another lesson that a child can _ from having a dog is empathy(同情), the ability to put oneself in another persons, or in this case another creatures_ and imagine that persons or creatures feelings or problems. A dog cannot express itself with speech, so its owner must learn how to interpret its behavior. The child must learn to understand what the dogs behavior means. Is the dog frightened, hungry or sick? The child needs to understand what is going on in the dogs mind. Understanding a situation from the dogs point of view helps the child understand why the dog is behaving in a certain way and what the dog needs. The result of learning to read a dogs behavior is that the child develops empathy. This _ to the child becoming a more considerate and caring person.26 . AresponsibleBvaluableCreasonableDlovable27 .

Then, is it a celebritys job（职责）to be a good role model? Please read the following students debate.Is it a celebritys job to be a good role model? Its a celebritys job to be a good role model because people usually look up to stars. If a celebrity drinks and smokes, his fans will follow him because they look up to the celebrity so much. If a celebritys lifestyle is inappropriate for kids, then their parents should be more careful about what they let their kids see.I think everyone should try to be a good role model, even if you are not a celebrity! You can still be a role model to your sisters and brothers, a younger neighbor, or anyone. But I think celebrities should be very good, because they are role models for so many people!A celebrity doesnt have to try to be a good role model. They are famous because they worked hard at what they love for a living.They should,however,try to make good choices for themselves,not their fans.Lots of stars have to post apology（道歉）letters after being caught doing bad things.Its good,but if the only reason they do is to win back their fans,its not good .Although it is a wonderful thing to be a good role model,thats not what the celebrities must do.They are famous because they love what they do and are good at it.Being a role model is never in the job.If the celebrity knows they are affecting the young people,they should try hard to set a good example.34 . Which of the following reasons is NOT from the pros?APeople look up to the celebrities.BEveryone should try to be a good role model.CCelebrities get much love and support from fans.35 . What does the underlined word “inappropriate” mean?A难以言说的B非同寻常的C不恰当的36 . According to the cons, how do some people become famous?ABy working hard at what they love.BBy setting a good example to others.CBy making good choices for themselves.37 . Which of the following is TRUE according to their words?AIt is easy for stars to win back fans.BStars may sometimes do something wrong.CFamily members should encourage kids to be stars.38 . What conclusion(结论) can we draw from their opinions?AWhen you become a celebrity, you have been a good role model too.BEven though a celebrity makes mistakes, young people should follow him.CWhether a celebrity is a role model or not, he should care about his behavior.How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. Whats more, life is always giving new things to the child- things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not do something or being punished for what he has wrongly done.When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he worked hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.39 . What is the happiest person according to the passage?AA child who can do whatever he likes.BAn old person who lives in a comfortable life.CA grown-up who no longer expects other to pay for him.DA person who never wastes his time in his whole life.40 . What pains does a child have?AHe has few responsibilities to make life difficult.BHe doesnt have to do anything in return.CHe is not so free to do what he wishes to do.DHe has to work if he wants to live comfortably.41 . Which of the following is true, according to the second paragraph?ALife for a child is fairly easy.BA child is always loved whatever he does.CIf much is given to a child, he must do something in return.DOnly children are interested in life.42 . What is the main idea of the passage?ALife is not enjoyable since each age had some pains.BYoung men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard.CChildhood is the most enjoyable time in ones life.DOne is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life.43 . What will the fourth paragraph most probably discuss following this passage?AExamples of successful young men.BHow to build up ones position in society.CJoys and pains of old people.DWhat to do when one has problems in life.四、阅读判断阅读C篇, 判断正误。请将答案编号涂卡。MisunderstandingsA man, wearing dirty clothes, with dirty hair and only 35 cents in his pocket, got on a bus and headed straight for the restroom. He thought that if he hid in the restroom, he could ride to New York without paying. But a passenger at the back of the bus saw him. She tapped（拍）the person in front of her on the shoulder and said, Theres a bum in the restroom. Tell the bus driver. ”That passenger tapped the person sitting in front of him. Tell the bus driver theres a bum in the restroom, ”he said. The message was passed from person to person until it reached the front of the bus. But somewhere along the way, the message changed. By the time it reached the bus driver, it was not “Theres a bum in the restroom” but “Theres a bomb（炸弹）in the restroom. ”The driver pulled over to the side of the highway（高速公路）at once and called the police. When the police arrived, they told the passengers to get off the bus and stay far away. Then they closed the highway. That soon caused a 15-mile-long traffic jam. With the help of a dog, the police searched the bus for two hours. Of course, they found no bomb. Two similar-sounding English words also caused trouble for a man who wanted to fly from Los Angeles to Oakland, California. His problems began at the airport in Los Angeles. He thought he heard his flight announced, so he walked to the gate, showed his ticket, and got on the plane. Twenty minutes after take-off, the man began to worry. Oakland was north of Los Angeles, but the plane seemed to be heading west, and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean. Is this plane going to Oakland? ”he asked the flight attendant. No, she said. Were going to Auckland-Auckland, New Zealand. ”Because so many English words sound similar, misunderstandings among English-speaking people are not uncommon. Most misunderstandings are much less serious. Every day, people speaking English ask one another questions like these: Did you say seventy or seventeen? ”“Did you say that you can come or that you cant? ”Similar-sounding words can be especially confusing（混淆）for people who speak English as a second language. When a Korean woman who lives in the United States arrived at work one morning, her boss asked her, Did you get a plate? ” “ No,”she answered, wondering what in the words he meant. She worked in an office. Why did the boss ask her about a plate? All day she wondered about her bosss strange question, but she was too embarrassed to ask him about it. At five oclock, when she was getting ready to go home, her boss said, “Please be on time tomorrow. You were 15 minutes late this morning. Sorry, she said. My car wouldnt start, and. . ”Suddenly she stopped talking and began to smile. Now she understood. Her boss hadnt asked her, “Did you get a plate? He had asked her, “Did you get up late? ”Auckland and Oakland. A plate and up late. When similar-sounding words cause a misunderstanding, probably the best thing to do is just to laugh and learn from the mistake. Of course, sometimes its hard to laugh. The man who traveled to Auckland instead of Oakland didnt feel like laughing. But even that misunderstanding turned out all right in the end. The airline paid for the mans hotel room and meals in New Zealand and for his flight back to California. Oh well, the man later said. “I always wanted to see New Zealand. A表示正确, B表示错误。44 . A man got on the bus and hid in the bus restroom with a bomb.45 . The 15-mile-long traffic jam was caused by the man in the restroom.46 . The man who traveled to New Zealand actually wanted to fly to California.47 . The boss of the Korean woman asked her if she had got a plate that day.48 . Misunderstandings happen sometimes because of the similar-sounding words.五、填空任务型阅读，每空一词Rainforests cover（覆盖） 6% of the Earths surface（表面）.
