I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it es to safety. Its equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my pany and I wouldnt be here. But then I thought about the fact that hes 84 years old and I realized that I shouldnt give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that Im doing the right thing. Im buying myself peace of mind and thats the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.15. Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.16. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to _.A. keep her appointment with the eye doctorB. meet her father who was already an old manC. join in the holiday celebration of the panyD. finish her work before the deadline approached17. The underlined word foregone in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.A. avoidedB. lackedC. abandonedD. abusedCWhy do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It is an increasingly urgent question, given the recent mining accidents in Sago, W. Va and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it es to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners - the special operations of the mining industry.One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie Mellon Universitys Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog. It used lasers(激光器) to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned minessome of the most dangerous work in the business.The latest design is called Cave Crawler. Its a bit smaller than Groundhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and videos and has more sensors that can detect the presence of dangerous gases. Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic. If it es across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused. It has to think about what to do and where to go next. Sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person.The greatest problem, though, is cost. The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government, but that money had dried up, and its not clear where future money will e from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, fatalities(致命性) have declined by 67% and injuries by 51% , according to the National Mining Association.Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots will do the most boring and dangerous jobs, but wont get rid of the need for human workers.18. The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog, mainly because _.A. it can map abandoned minesB. it can see in the dark tunnelsC. its smaller than GroundhogD. it has a real sense of logic19. We can infer from the text that _.A. the mining robots do most of the mining work at presentB. Groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gasesC. experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous workD. robots can do dangerous work in dark areas20. From the last paragraph, we know that _.A. robots in mines will serve much in the automatiove industryB. there will be no need for human workers in minesC. robots in mines will have a bright futureD. robots in mines will replace robots in the automotive industry 21. What can be the best title for the text?A. Mining Accidents in AmericaB. Robots in MinesC. Cave crawler, the Latest RobotD. The Future of RobotsDThe gentle giant of our oceans are whale sharks. Its the biggest shark and can reach as long as 41.5 feet. Whale sharks have a lifespan of 70 years on average, and they spend their days gently swimming in the warm and tropical oceans.Their teeth are the size of match heads, and while their jaws could be powerful, they have never tended to attack humans. Their teeth play no role in eating, as plankton (浮游生物) does not need to be chewed. They are to be found in numbers in the warmer oceans and they prefer the deep waters of the open oceans. They tend to travel alone.Several times a year they gather together in certain spots where plankton is plentiful. Those areas are all within a 300 north or south latitude from the equator. And sadly whale sharks are targeted by mercial fisheries at those spots.How easy it must be for those fishermen to catch those beautiful creatures who can only swim at 3.5 miles per hour! So great a loss in numbers have they suffered, that whale sharks are now listed as one of the endangered species. Some countries and areas have started to take measures to protect the whale sharks from extinction.The Philippines, India and Taiwan have all banned the fishing, selling, importing and exporting of whale sharks for mercial purpose. However, the law does not seem to be effective because the hunting and killing still goes on today, especially in Taiwan and the Philippines. Each whale shark can fetch around $21,000. In parts of Asia they are known as the “money shark”.The mighty dollar, wins again, at great cost to our habitat, and we will not know what we have lost until we have lost it forever. Therefore, it is high time for us to do something for the whale sharks.22. We can learn from the passage that whale sharks _.A. usually live a life of more than 70 yearsB. always travel in the ocean in groupsC. depend on their teeth to harvest their foodD. live in the deep waters of the warmer oceans23. We know that in Taiwan and the Philippines, _.A. fishermen are earning little by catching the whale sharksB. fishermen have stopped hunting and killing the whale sharksC. fishermen are continuing to hunt and kill the whale sharksD. importing and exporting whale sharks is allowed24. It is implied in the passage that _.A. whale sharks will be extinct even if they are protectedB. whale sharks are the most dangerous marine animalsC. there is no law about banning the fishing of whale sharksD. the huge profit is to blame for the decreasing numbers of whale sharks25. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To call on people to protect whale sharks.B. To guide people how to fish and kill whale sharks.C. To advise the government to make related laws.D. To analyze the value of whale sharks.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well.26 However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life.The expression, to lead a dogs life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence. Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 27 They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.28 This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.29 People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. 30 A. Still, people say every dog has its day. B. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs. C. Some people are pared to dogs in bad ways. D. Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people. E. There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore. F. That means many people are peting for the same things, like good jobs. G. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.第三部分完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Steve was a seventh grader, a big boy, looking more like a teenager than a 12-year-old.
