She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be absolutely exact. Then carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way six blocks to the pharmacy (药房).She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at that moment. So she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it!“And what do you want?” the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. “Im talking to my brother from Chicago whom I havent seen for ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “Hes really, really sick. and I want to buy a miracle.”“I beg your pardon?” said the pharmacist.“His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”The pharmacists brother was a well-dressed man. He bent down and asked the little girl, “ What kind of miracle does your brother need?”“I dont know,” Tess replied with tears welling up. “I just know hes really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my daddy cant pay for it, so I want to use my money.”“How much do you have?” asked the man from Chicago.“One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered. “And its all the money I have.”“Well, what a coincidence! A dollar and eleven centsthe exact price of a miracle for your little brother,” smiled the man.“Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Lets see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”The pharmacists brother, Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, was expert in neurosurgery (神经外科). The operation was pleted without charge and it wasnt long before Andrew was home again and doing well.Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. “That surgery,” her mom whispered, “was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost.”Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost. one dollar and eleven cents. plus the faith of a little child.21. Tess took her money to the pharmacy to _.A. pay for the doctors billB. buy her brother a miracleC. make a deal with the pharmacistD. see whether the money was enough22. How did Tess attract the pharmacists attention?A. She waited for a long time.B. She greeted the pharmacist.C. She hit the counter with a coin.D. She shouted at the pharmacist.23. It can be inferred that Andrews operation would have been _.A. costly B. dangerousC. serious D. difficult24. The writer thinks it was _ that worked wonders and saved Andrews life.A. Tesss moneyB. Dr. Armstrongs kindnessC. Tesss beliefD. Dr. Armstrongs surgeryBCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young ( less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs ), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission (服从).In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”.Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in mon than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond petsto people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.25. Which below is closest in meaning to the word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1?A. Smoothly. B. Briefly. C. Quickly.D. Early.26. When are some cats and dogs likely to fight with each other?A. They are introduced at an early age.B. They are cold to each other.C. They misunderstood each others signals.D. They stared at each other.27. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _.A. are less different than we thoughtB. have mon interestsC. are less intelligent than we expectedD. have a mon body language28. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. To live in peace with animals.B. To live in harmony.C. To know more about animals.D. To learn body signals.CWhat is Star Smart DualBand?Allow us to introduce ourselves.

Though this would seem to be an ideal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them, so sure are we that well get around to them one day.The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic (评论家), John Ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it, but there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worst, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskins eyes, theres just one thing we should doattempting to draw the interesting things we see, regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.Ruskin said, “Drawing can teach us to see: to notice properly rather than gaze absent-mindedly. In the process of recreating with our own hands what lies before our eyes, we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.”Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on traveling around the whole Europe in a week by train, “Changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will not make us stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see if they ever walked slowly; they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thoughts and sights, not pace.”32. According to Paragraph 2, when taking pictures, people tend to _.A. forget to appreciate something attractive on the spotB. find it hard to learn skills of taking good picturesC. find a good way to keep things in their mindsD. have a chance to meet the challenge of new technology33. According to Ruskin, what should travelers do to best express their appreciation of and desire for something beautiful?A. To speak it out openly.B. To photograph it instantly. C. To purchase it immediately.D. To paint it directly.34. From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that Ruskin encourages us to be _.A. considerate and determinedB. active and adventurousC. creative and thoughtfulD. sensitive and ambitious35. The underlined word “deplored ” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_”.A. appreciatedB. criticizedC. favoredD. ignored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。选项中有两项是多余选项。Can cheating on your diet actually help you achieve your weight-loss goals?
