When her owner died, the dog stayed near the house and waited for her owner to return. Some of the neighbors left food out for Brandy. But while they thought the dog was friendly, they werent worried about Brandy. One day, Brandy walked into the neighbours yard and began playing with 18-month-old Adam. The young mother didnt like the dirty dog at first. But seeing her son having fun playing with her, she decided to let Brandy stay. One afternoon, the boys mother left Adam in the yard to play while she answered the phone. When she returned, he was gone. The mother was scared and called police. They looked for Adam for six hours but were unsuccessful. Then someone said he had heard barking coming from the woods. So they all rushed to thewoods. Adam was fast asleep against a tree. Brandy was keeping Adam there while one of her own legs dangled over(悬挂) a deep hole. Brandy had followed Adam when he walked away. Seeing him in danger, shed held him safely for all those hours. Adams mother was so grateful that Brandy spent the rest of her days with them. In Brandys honor, Adams mother founded(创办)Pets Alive, a pet rescue(救援)center in New York. She cant save every animal, but she knows that if someone had put the old dog to sleep, she could have easily lost her only son.26. According to the passage, we learn that Adam was_. A. an old dog B. an 18-month-old boy C. a policeman D. a dog owner27. The boy was saved by _. A. his neighbours B. the dog C. the policeman D. his mother28. To express her thanks to the dog, the boys mother_.A. founded a pet rescue centerB. left food to homeless dogsC. saved every animal she metD. put old dogs to sleepB I didnt think I had a passion（激情）. I would sit in front of the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the next show. It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life. That day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the gym. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didnt interest me, for I had seen many like him before. But in some ways he was different. This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious(珍贵)thing he had. Mum, why does that man have a radio even though(尽管)hes homeless? I asked. He bought it, she replied. I was still unable to understand. But if hes homeless, why doesnt he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesnt need. Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes arent the most important things. We need happiness, too. The man must care too much about music to buy a radio instead of food and clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the key to life. Without it, theres nothing to look forward to. Since then Ive never gone a day without thinking of whats truly important. A home, a meal, clothes-these things are only part of the picture. Whats often forgotten is that we all need a pleasure, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion.29. How would Sarah spend her days long ago? A. She watched TV all day. B. She used to read a lot. C. She did nothing but thinking. D. She was always sleeping.30. Why was the man different?A. He wore new clothes.B. He was sitting with a sad expression.C. He was homeless.D. He lived an active life though he was very poor. 31. What did Sarah do after she understood the fact? A. She thought all day without doing anything. B. She bought a radio just like the mans. C. She had a passion with everything from then on. D. She always danced to the music on the radio.32. What can we learn from the passage? A. Sometimes food and clothes are the most important things in our life. B. Money is the most important thing for a person. C. Music is more important than food or clothes. D. Happiness is the key to life and it is what we are looking forward to.C China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, Ive found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around, For many, its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors-silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want. Its fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just cant provide. Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home. My first ride home was orderly. To be safe, I stayed with a pack of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly(敏捷)out of nowhere at times. I didnt want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck. I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.33. According to the writer, why are bicycles still popular in China today? A. Because they are traditional and safe. B. Because they are fast and environmentally friendly. C. Because they are colorful and available. D. Because they are convenient(方便)and inexpensive.34. The writer decided to buy a bicycle because he wanted_. A. to ride it for fun B. to use it for transport C. to experience local culture D. to improve his riding skills35. How did the writer feel about his street crossing?A. It was boring. B. It was difficult.C. It was lively. D. It was wonderful.36. Which of the following best describes the writers biking experience? A. The writer enjoyed showing off his biking skills. B. The writer was annoyed by the air while riding. C. The writer was praised by the other bikers. D. The writer took great pleasure in biking.D Thousands of years ago, people didnt know that the Earth moved. They thought the sun really did move across the sky. The Greek god Helios was said to drive the sun around the sky with his chariot(战车). But now, these ideas have all changed. Nowadays, it is the sun that drives our chariot around the sky. So what does all this mean? Well, quite simply, there is now a plane (or chariot)that is powered by the sun. It has special parts in its wings. These parts absorb power from the sun. They absorb so much power that they can carry on flying at night. In the Greek myths(希腊神话), Helios had to take a break at night. It seems were finally even more efficient than the gods themselves. This plane is called Solar Impulse(“太阳驱动”号). It will fly across the US in May. This is very important for the future of the world. So why is solar energy so good for us? Well, other kinds of energy cause a few problems. If you live in China, youve probably noticed the pollution. This is caused by burning coal or gas to make energy. The heat and chemicals(化学物质) from this make things work. But if we use the heat from the sun, we dont have to burn anything, and theres no pollution. Solar energy is not all there yet. It needs to be improved. But the best thing about it is that, unlike coal and gas, it doesnt run out. Solar Impulse could keep flying forever. Well, actually, the sun will run out too, one day, but not for another 5 billion years. Thats a pretty long flight.37. Which of the following is TRUE of Solar Impulse? A. It can only fly at night. B. It has already flown across the US. C. It is powered by the sun. D. It needs gas to work.38. In the passage, what is mentioned as the cause of pollution in China? A. Overpopulation. B. Burning coal or gas. C. Using solar energy. D. Heavy traffic.39. What does the writer mean by Thats a pretty long flight? A. It takes a lot of time to get Solar Impulse going. B. Solar Impulse moves very slowly. C. Solar Impulse will be in use for a long time. D. Solar Impulse has a long way to go to take the place of the sun.40. The passage is most probably taken from_ A. a Greek myth B. a science fictionC. a story-book D. a science magazine第卷（非选择题，共45分）三、单词拼写 （共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或对话情景提示，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空只写一词。41.
