10、 comments may come from stories about us that have been 18 for yearsoften from 19 childhood. These stories may have no 20 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us.

A dog can be a pleasan
20、t companion（伙伴） to your family, but if you choose the wrong kind of dog，you will have a lot of troubles.Families should sit down and thoroughly discuss the possible problems before buying a dog. Even if the children in your family are the ones who want the dog, the parents are the ones who are reall
21、y responsible for seeing that the animal is properly cared for. If you dont know much about dogs, it is a good idea to go to the library for books about different kinds of dogs, as well as books about how to train a young dog. In reading about the different breeds(种类)you should know that a dog descr
22、ibed(描述)as very alert(机敏灵活的)may be too active. When a book describes a dog as an excellent hunting dog, it probably means that the dog wont be happy living in a small house. Dog breeds vary(变化)in popularity as the years go by. One of the most popular dogs these days is the German shepherd（牧羊犬）. This
23、 is because it provides protection as well as companionship（陪伴）. The family should be warned that these dogs grow up to be very big, and may be too powerful for children to control. If space is limited, a toy dog may be a good choice. These dogs are very small and easy to train. They dont need to be
24、 walked daily, since they can exercise in the home.36. According to the passage, one can get information about different kinds of dogs .A. by going to the libraryB. by asking someone who has enough experience about different kinds of dogsC. by buying a dog and training itD. by reading books about do
25、gs37. The German shepherd is a popular dog . A. because it is easy to trainB. because it is big and strong C. because it is powerful and friendlyD. because it is alert and active38. Which is the best topic of the passage?A. The care and proper selection of dogs for families.B. Different breeds of do
26、gs.C. Responsibility for seeing that dogs are properly cared for.D. Different kinds of books about dogs. BPacing and PausingSara tried to befriend her old friend Steves new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didnt hold up her end of the conversation, Betty co
27、mplained 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 our habits are different, you may start to talk before Im finished or fail to take
28、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 shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself beca
29、me 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 that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw c
30、onclusions 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 consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in a
31、n 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 outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was
32、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 have a great effect on ones life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychol
33、ogical problems - even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.39. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?A. Betty was talkative.B. Betty was an interrupter.C. Betty did not take her turn. D. Betty paid no at
34、tention to Sara.40. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?A. Americans. B. Israelis. C. The British. D. The Finns.41. We can learn from the passage that _.A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacingB. women are unfavorably stere
35、otyped in eastern cities of the USC. ones inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimesD. one should receive training to build up ones confidenceCIsrael has passed a law banning the use of underweight models in advertising. Known as the “Photoshop Law”, it also requires that agencies tell
36、 their audience if theyve digitally changed pictures to make models look thinner.The new law forbids the use of models with a body mass index of 18.5 or less, a standard based on internationally accepted measures. The figure matches the set of fixed limits by the U. S. Department of Health.The law d
37、oesnt set a money amount that can be gained in court from such a suit. Lawmakers realize that it may be a long and difficult process to prove in court that a company broke the new law, but they feel that simply having the law in place will accomplish what they want; stopping advertising companies fr
38、om continuing to influence Israelis with images of unhealthy-looking models as the gold standard of beauty.Some modeling agencies in Israel arent happy. They say that the indexes on which the law is based are arbitrary (任意的)and are not suitable for every model. Many models who are totally healthy gi
39、rls might be disqualified because of the law. Some models are naturally thin and unable to gain weight and the new law would unfairly prevent them from finding jobs.However, plus-size American supermodel Emme told CNN that she thinks the law will cause other countries to make similar measures agains
40、t showing underweight models. “I think this is fantastic because so many young women and men are suffering to look in a way that is unrealistic and unhealthy,” she said.42.What is “Photoshop Law” about?A. Banning the use of underweight models.B. Banning underweight models in advertising.C. Banning c
41、hanging pictures digitally.D. Banning models in advertising.43. The underlined word “suit” in Paragraph 3 means .A . a set of clothingB. a group of roomsC. an action in courtD. a performance in advertising44. What can we know from the passage?A. All models are happy about the law.B. All advertising
42、agencies are happy about the law.C. The law makes no sense.D. There are arguments over the beauty standard of models.DWhen an ant dies, other ants take it out of the nest, often within an hour after its death. This behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sureand so soonthat a
43、nother ant is dead.One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behavior. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. He found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “Im deadtake me away” when it is dead.Bu
44、t theres a question to answer: As we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. But when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. However, other ants dont move the living ant out of the nest. How do they know this ant is not dead? Choe found that ants have another chemical on
45、 their bodies, which tells nearby ants something like, “WaitIm not dead yet” when it is not dead. Choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says, “Wait Im not dead yet” quickly goes away. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the
46、body.To test his theory, Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants. When the scientists used the “Im dead” chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. When the scientists used the “WaitIm not dead yet” chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior
47、shows that the “not dead yet” chemical overrides the “dead” chemical when picked up by other ants. And that when an ant dies, the “not dead yet” chemical dies away. Other nearby ants then notice the remaining “dead” chemical and remove the body from the nest.Understanding this behavior can help scie
48、ntists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems.45. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. Leading the following paragraphs.B. Showing the main idea of the passage.C. Introducing the background of the passage.D. Giving a summary of the passage.46. Which of th
49、e following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “overrides” in the fourth paragraph?A. is weaker than B. is stronger than C. is better than D. is worse than 47. What can we learn from the passage?A. Living ants can also be taken away when they are not moving.B. When an ant dies, it can te
50、ll others using a certain chemical.C. A living ant can pretend to be dead using a special chemical.D. Ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other.Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently
51、died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. Yes, honey. Of course. she said. Can we write him a letter? She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, Yes. My heart jumped. How? Does the mailman go there? I asked. No, but I have an idea. Mom drove to a party store and returned wit

Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in
53、a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face. She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining. Okay,
54、 on the count of three, let go. One, two, three.The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he
55、d persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary. I prayed to be a balloon.48When the girl asked her mother if

Scientific investigations (调查) are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. Ideas are shared,
68、 experiments are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. Group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone.Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates. Whatever the task yo
69、ur group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience.What comes first is to keep an open mind, because everyones ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the gro

Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual （相互的）support and trust often makes a great difference.Activities

He began to take up a balanced and healthy diet, containing fruit and vegetables. He also took part in various sports activities such a
79、s swimming, skating, running and playing basketball. Several months later, Li Ming became as fit as before.Luckily, Li Ming has broken away from his former way of life.
