No, I didnt set a foot on your house, but from the condition of your dog, I can imagi
28、ne what it looks like. The word rubbish comes to mind.I found her along a road, with a heavy chain wrapped around her neck, still attached to rotten boards from her doghouse. Not only did I know that most of the town people had already ignored her, judging by the place where I found her, but I knew
29、that if she had gotten into the woods, the cross that she dragged(拖) behind her would have wrapped itself around a tree until starvation or thirst killed her.She has a beautiful name now. Already in the first week she has come to look more like she should. Her eyes sparkle and she has learned to wag
30、（摇）her tail in greeting. She has stopped flinching( 畏缩 )when I make a sudden movement, because she knows now that I won t beat her. In fact, she rarely leaves my side. Shes even become brave enough to bark at a cat and today I looked out of the window as she attempted to play with other dogs. No, it
31、s clear that she does not miss you or her former life on a chain.It s not clear yet whether shell remain here or whether Ill find her a loving home where she can count on more individual attention than I can give her, but one thing is certain, this is a bit of stolen property which is never returnin
32、g to you. So sue（起诉）me, accuse me, plead with the court that she is rightfully yours. I m convinced that this is the best crime Ive ever committed. Hardly anything has pleased me more than the day when I stole your dog. I need only look into her beautiful brown eyes to know that shed defend my decis
33、ion with her life. If we have one prayer, it is that you will not replace her, and if we have one special day to celebrate together, it is the day I stole your dog and the day she stole my heart.56. Whats the authors attitude towards the former owner of the dog? A. Puzzled. B. Angry. C. Shocked. D.
34、Satisfied.57. It can be inferred from the passage that_.

36、 greetingsBDoctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feeling can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some peopl
37、e express anger openly in a calm, reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. But still other people control their anger. They cannot or will not express it.For years many doctors thought that controlling ones anger was more dangerous to a persons health than expressing it
38、. They said that when a person is angry, the brain lets out the same hormones that are produced during tense situations. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, and narrow the blood vessels. In general, the person feels excited and ready to act.Doctors said that controlling these feelings o
39、nly makes the feelings continue. And this can lead to many medical problems. Doctors thought a person could prevent these problems by letting the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors held a different view. They said that people who express anger too often and violently did be
40、come, in fact, more and not less angry. They said this, too, can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both controlling and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep t
41、heir anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is
42、, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”60. Which of the following is the more recent view about the expression of anger? A. It is dangerous both to express anger violently and to control on
43、es anger. B. One can avoid his medical problems by expressing his anger freely. C. Ones heart rate will not change if his anger is kept unexpressed. D. One is likely to suffer from high blood pressure in a bit of great anger.61. When you get angry, which of the following should you do for the sake o
44、f health? A. Controlling your anger and then studying its cause. B. Letting out your anger freely and then studying its cause. C. Studying its cause and waiting till it cools down. D. Waiting till it has cooled down and then studying its cause.62. Which of the following can best replace the title of
45、 the passage? A. Different Ways of Dealing with Anger B. The Danger of Anger and Its Solution C. New Medical Discoveries about Anger D. An Argument between the New and Old Views about AngerCPacing and PausingSara tried to befriend her old friend Steves new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anythi
46、ng to say. While Sara felt Betty didnt hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, theres no problem. But if
47、 our habits are different, you may start to talk before Im finished or fail to take your turn when Im finished. Thats what was happening with Betty and Sara.It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively short
48、er pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.The general phenomenon, then, is th
49、at the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定式). And these social phenomena can have very personal conse
50、quences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in - and never found it. Although back home she was considered out
51、going and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.Thats why slight differences in conversational style - tiny little things like microseconds of pause - can
52、 have a great effect on ones life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems - even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.63. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?A. Betty was talka
53、tive.B. Betty was an interrupter.C. Betty did not take her turn. D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.64. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?A. Americans. B. Israelis. C. The British. D. The Finns.65. We can learn from the passage that _.A. communicati
54、on breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacingB. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the USC. ones inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimesD. one should receive training to build up ones confidence66. The underlined word assertiveness in the last paragraph
55、probably means _.A. being willing to speak ones mindB. being able to increase ones powerC. being ready to make ones own judgmentD. being quick to express ones ideas confidentlyDBooks are not Nadia Konyks thing. Her mother, hoping to attract her, brings them home from the library, but Nadia rarely sh
56、ows an interest. Instead, like so many other teenagers, Nadia, 15, is addicted to the Internet. She regularly spends at least six hours a day in front of the computer.Nadia checks her e-mail and reads careful through , a social networking site, reading messages or posting updates on her mood. She se
57、arches from music videos on and logs onto , a role-playing site where members exchange identities as cartoon characters. But she spends most of her time on or , reading and commenting on stories written by other users and based on books, television shows or movies.Her mother, Deborah Konyk, would pr
58、efer that Nadia read books for a change. But at this point, Ms. Konyk said, “Im just pleased that she reads something anyway.”Children like Nadia lie at the heart of a passionate（狂热的）debate about just what it means to read in the digital age. As teenagers scores on standardized reading tests have de
59、clined, some argue that the hours spent surfing the Internet is the enemy of reading reducing literacy, destroying attention spans and a valuable common culture that exists only through the reading of books.But others say the Internet has created a new kind of reading, one that schools and society s
60、hould not discount. The Web inspires a teenager like Nadia, who might otherwise spend most of his leisure time watching television, to read and write.Even talented book readers like Zachary Sims, 18, of Old Greenwich, Conn., carve the ability to quickly find different points of view on a subject and
61、 talk with others online. Some children with dyslexia（诵读困难）or other learning difficulties, like Hunter Gaudet, 16, of Somers, Conn., have found it far more comfortable to search and read online.67. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means _. A. Nadia prefers not to be a writerB. Nadia doesnt lik
62、e to buy books C. Nadia treats reading books as a piece of cake D. Nadia shows no interest in reading books68. To act as a character, Konyk will log onto _. A. B. C. D. 69. The example given in the last paragraph are used to prove _. A. reading online is the enemy of reading books B. reading online
63、may cause difficulty in learning C. it is convenient and comfortable to read online D. there is no pleasure to enjoy reading online70. What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A. Are you tired of reading books in the information society? B. Do you like reading books?C. What does readin
64、g mean in the digital age? D. Are you reading online?第二卷（非选择题，共35分）第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入1个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。Cheating is common in various kinds of exams in college. Students dont feel shame to cheat in exams. They know that if caught cheating in an exam, the
65、punishment will not be serious. This leads to frequent cheating in exams.At the University of Nevada, after students photographed test questions with their cell-phone cameras, transmitted them to classmates outside the exam room and got the answers back in text messages, the university put in place
66、a new monitoring system.With their electronic tools, students these days find it easier to cheat. So college officials find themselves in a new game of cat and mouse, trying to gain an advantage over would-be cheats this exam season with a range of strategiescutting off Internet access from laptops,
67、 or demanding the surrender of cellphones before tests.Mr. Dapremont said technology had made cheating easier, but added that plagiarism in writing papers was probably a bigger problem because students can easily lift other peoples writings off the Internet.Still, some students said they thought che
68、ating these days was more a product of an attitude, not the tool at hand. Pressure to succeed sometimes clouds everything and makes people do things that they shouldnt do. Students today feel more pressure to do well in order to graduate from school and secure a job.Whatever the reasons for cheating
69、, college officials say the battle against it is wearing them out. First, people who cheat in exams will lose interest in studying. Second, they believe studying isnt meaningful. Even though they dont do anything, they can still pass. Third, people who cheat in exams will influence others. Plenty of
70、 hard working people will see that their results are lower than people who cheat in exams. Thus, we must prevent cheating in exams. We reduce the opportunities for cheating in exams.The vast majority of Americans still believe that honesty is an important part of the American character. For that rea
71、son, there are numerous watchdog committees at all level of society. Although signs of dishonesty in school, business, and government seem much more numerous in recent years than in the past, could that be because we are getting better at revealing such dishonesty?Many educators feel that as student
72、s gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, they are less likely to cheat. Surprisingly, some efforts to prevent cheating may actually encourage cheatinga person may feel “ they dont trust me anyway”, and be tempted to “ beat the system”. Distrust can be contagious. But, so can trust.Title
