About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class.The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager. 21.Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think.A. dogs are young childrens best friendsB. children can play with dogs while readingC. dogs can provide encouragement for shy childrenD. children and dogs understand each other22.By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea”,the writer means the library.A. uses dogs to attract childrenB. accepts the idea put forward by ITAC. has opened a childrens departmentD. has decided to train some dogs23.A “pawgraphed” book is most probably.A. a book used in Saturday classesB. a book written by the childrenC. a prize for the childrenD. a gift from parentsBTales From Animal HospitalDavid GrantDavid Grant has become a familiar face to millions of fans of Animal Hospital.

Mostly borrowed from English and Chinese, these terms are often changed into forms no longer understood by native speakers.But in the last few years the trickle（涓涓细流）of foreign words has become a flood, and people fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese to understand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities of traditional（传统的）Japanese.“The popularity of foreign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything new,”says university lecturer and writer Takashi Saito.“By using a foreign word you can make a subject seem new, which makes it easier for the media（媒体）to pick up.”“Experts（专家）often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people in their own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers,”said Muturo Kai, president of the National Language Research Institute.“Foreign words find their way easily into announcements made to the general public, when they should really be explained in Japanese.”Against the flow of new words, many Japanese are turning back to the study of their own language. Saitos Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of many language books that are now flying off booksellers shelves.“We were expecting to sell the books to young people,”said the writer,“but it turns out they are more popular with the older generation, who seem uneasy about the future of Japanese.”27.What advantages do foreign words have over traditional Japanese terms?A. The ideas expressed in foreign words sound new.B. Foreign words are best suited for announcements.C. Foreign words make new subjects easier to understand.D. The use of foreign words makes the media more popular.28.In the opinion of Takashi Saito, Japanese people.A. are good at learning foreign languagesB. are willing to learn about new thingsC. trust the mediaD. respect experts29.Which of the following plays an important part in the spread of foreign words?A. The media and government papers.B. Best-selling Japanese textbooks.C. The interest of young Japanese.D. Foreign products and experts.30.The book Japanese to Be Read Aloud.A. sells very well in JapanB. is supported by the governmentC. is questioned by the old generationD. causes misunderstanding among the readers第二节： 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。 Most of us lead a busy life. 31 We think, “If I reached my goal, then I would be happy”, or “If I could get a better job, then I would enjoy life.” But why not enjoy life right now?Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings. 32 “There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us!” And as Brodersen explains. “Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friends smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up.”Secondly, taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease your stress. Take me for example. 33 One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day.Thirdly, dont take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them? 34 As Wayne Lawton explains, “Invest time in relationships. Remove the attitude, whats in it for me? Happiness is found in putting others interests, desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness is a dead-end street.” 35 A. I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink, a bubble bath or family photos.B. In my spare time, I enjoy collecting stamps and reading novels.C. Driven by the “urgent”, we forget to enjoy life.D. So please treasure relationship.E. You dont need to travel far to find beauty.F. Be aware of beauty in nature.G. A short e-mail or phone call can make a world of difference to someone.III. 完形填空：（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I played a racquetball game against my cousin Ed last week.
