It might understand more than you think. A border collie(牧羊犬) named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩). In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 mands right. As the dog couldnt see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words. In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before. The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months. Its hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they cant talk back. Still, it wouldnt hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return! 28. From paragraph 2 we know that . A. animals are as clever as human beingsB. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees C. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills D. dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children 29. Both experiments show that . A. Rico is smart enough to get all mands right B. Rico can recognize different things including toys C. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics D. Rico wont forget the names of objects once recognizing them 30. Which of the following statements is true? A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collies mental abilities. B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training. C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects. D. Rico is born to understand its owners mands. 31. What does the writer want to tell us? A. To train your dog. B. To talk to your dog. C. To be friendly to your dog. D. To be careful with your dog.D“Congratulations, Mr. Jones, its a girl.” Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel proud when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly. Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is clear that the change from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this resocialization process. Although many books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature referred to the role of a father. It is argued by some writers that the transition (转化) to the fathers role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mothers role. The mothers role seems to require a plete transformation in daily life and highly innovative (革新性的) adaptation, on the other hand, the fathers role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the family.32. According to the author, being a father _. A. brings a feeling of excitement to some men B. makes some men feel proud and others worried. C. has a different meaning for those who have daughters D. means nothing but more responsibilities33. In the third paragraph, the author _. A. criticizes (批评) fathers for not taking enough responsibilities in bringing up their children B. excuses the American writers for ignoring the difficulties of being a father C. supports the idea that the chief (主要的) role of a father is to earn money for the family D. plains about the lack of social program to help husbands get used to the role of a father34. The transition to the mothers role requires that the wife _. A. change her life style in a highly innovative way B. stay at home to take care of the baby C. make a plete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situation D. help her husband in his resocialization process35. Some writers argue that with respect of (关于) the change of roles, fathers, pared with mothers, _.A. have an easier job to do B. have to make more difficult adaptationC. have to shoulder more responsibilities D. can usually do a better job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。Why is setting goals important? 36 Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. 37 Its like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there surely without any wasted time of wrong turns. The other driver has no goal, or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be? 38 They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people usually just let life happen by accident. Goals arent difficult to set and they arent difficult to reach. 39 You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life. 40 Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.A. Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it.B. Winners in life set goals and follow them through.C. Its up to you to find out what your goals really are.D. Its difficult for a driver to reach his destination without a map.E. Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life.F. By setting goals you are taking control of your life.G. Because everybody should have a goal in his mind.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分）第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。In xx we were staying at our cousins house in Triora, Italy.
