Lets get a new pet,” Mrs. Brown says to her husband. “That sounds like a very good idea,” he answers. “Do you want to see the ads （厂告）in the newspaper?” “Lets go to the animalshelter. Many pets there need homes. Tomorrow is Saturday, so we can both go,” Mrs. Brown says.The next morning, the Browns (Mr. Brown and Ms. Brown) meet Mr. Snow at the animal shelter. “We want to be sure that the pets here go to good homes,” Mr. Snow says, “So I need to ask you some questions.”After they talk for a while, the Browns decide to get a small dog. It will not need a big house. A small dog will bark (吠) and warn (警告 ) them if someone tries to go into their house. After Mr. Snow gives the Browns a book on pet care, they choose one and want to take her home right away. But the animal doctor hasnt checked her yet. So Mr. Snow tells them to come back on Sunday.On Sunday afternoon the Browns go to the animal shelter. The animal doctor said, “Coco has got all of her shots (预防针) . She is healthy.” The Browns thank the doctor and take Coco home.47 . From the passage we learn that_.ACoco is a small and healthy dogBthe Browns know about Coco from the newspaperCMr. Brown and Ms. Brown take Coco home on SaturdayDMr. Brown and Ms. Brown have different ideas on getting a pet48 . The underlined word “shelter” means _.Aa place to sell small dogsBa place to keep animals without homeCa place to study animalsDa place to sell books on pet care49 . Mr. Snow asks the Browns some questions because_.Athe Browns want to get a small dogBthe Browns dont have money to get a petChe wants to be sure the Browns has a big houseDhe wants to be sure the Browns will be friendly to pets50 . The Browns want a small dog because_.Ait is usually healthyBit eats a little foodCit can help them watch their houseDit usually has a beautiful name（题文）It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education dont. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isnt accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people dont need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and maths need not be taught in detail, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded (全面的) and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.51 . （小题1）The earliest education was probably to_.Amake a man lead a better lifeBteach a man to write and readCmake people get a way of livingDteach people to read good books52 . （小题2）It is expected that educated people will be able to_.Aaccept education as a way of livingBtake an interest in the whole worldCdevelop their abilities to make playsDlearn subjects like language and math53 . （小题3）The passage mainly tells us that_.Aeducation should make a man improveBpeople can get education in a short timeCpeople should be able to get good paying jobsDall subjects are so important for a way of living五、单词填空Leo and his father didnt talk for 10 years. 10 years ago,Leos mother d54 . .
