Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal:A dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals.
28、 Dogs and other pets can give happiness to peoples lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die! Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to become the “eyes” for a blind person or “ears” for a deaf people. Scientists
29、have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visit”. Americans hold “Be-Kind-to-Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pets shows are held during the week. Even if you dont live in America, you, too, can do thi
30、s. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies. If you dont have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a s
31、treet dog, dont kick it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to stop them. As people, we must protect animals who cant speak for themselves. 56. “A few even leave all their money to their pets w

33、ents happier. C. Because they can find out the problems of the patients. D. Because doctors can do experiments on them. 58. Whats the most popular activity in the “Be-Kind-to-Animals Week”? A. Holding a pet show in the week. B. Playing with pets the whole week. C. Cooking delicious food for pets. D.
34、 Making friends with other peoples pets. 59. Whats the passage mainly about? A. A lot of people are interested in dogs. B. Dogs can help people do many things. C. Pets are lovely and need care and protection. D. We have done a lot of things for pets. 60. The words “mans best friends” shows_. A. the
35、friendship between people. B. the friendship between people and animals. C. the friendship between animals. D. the friendship between men and women B “Whats in a name?”According to Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet, there is not too much. “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet
36、. ”But Shakespeare may have been wrong. In most cultures, names matter a great deal. Americans choose names for their children with care. Parents usually think about the impression a name gives, not its meaning. Most Americans would consider a“Jennifer”more attractive than a “Bertha”, for example. T
37、he last name, or, surname, must also be considered when choosing a first and middle name. A name like Lester Chester Hester would sound poetic, but odd. Parents would avoid names that remind them of people they dont like. On the other hand, people might name their children after a respected elderly
38、relative or even a famous person. The popularity of certain names can change with each new generation. Names that were once common, like Fanny or Elmer, sound old-fashioned today. But other nameslike John and David, Mary and Sarahhave stood the test of time and continue to be favorites. People in Am
39、erica dont always call their friends and relatives by their given names. Instead, they often use nicknames. Sometimes nicknames are short forms of a longer name. For instance, a girl named Elizabeth may be called Lisa, Beth or Betsy. As children grow up, they may decide for themselves which nickname
40、 they wish to be called. Some people just go by the initials of their first and middle names, like B. J. or R. C. And of course, people may call their children or their sweethearts other special nicknames. Often they have a “sweet” flavor, like Honey or Sugar. Whats in a name? A world of significanc
41、e. So if youre choosing an English name for yourself, take care to choose a good one. A made-up name could sound strange to native English speakers. And a translation of your Chinese name may not make an appropriate name, either. But a good name can leave a positive and lasting impression. As an Ame
42、rican politician once said,“In real life, unlike in Shakespeare, the sweetness of the rose depends upon the name it bears.”61. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean? A.

47、zen localities(地方) have established bans, starting in 1999; and 40 states have had bans proposed but not passed. At least 23 countries, including the Great Britain, Italy, Israel and Japan, ban drivers from using hand-held cell phones. There are about 115 million cell phones in use in the United Sta
48、tes and more than 6 million in New York State. “To think that Im not going to use cell phone when at the same time I can still use my laptop, I still can read a paper, I can still change my pants(裤子) while driving 65 mph. I think theres just something wrong,” an official said. Other critics noted th

You may think that this is rather silly, and that it is better to call a spade. But dustmen can be just as sensitive as people of any other occupations, though we
63、 must admit that their job is not the most romantic one in the world. We often take dustmen for granted. Perhaps because they usually come very early in the morning, before most people are up, we are inclined to forget that they exist. Our dustbins are emptied regularly, but we rarely stop to think
64、about the men who do this. However, it is one of the most important jobs in the world, and when there are no dustmen_, the general public soon becomes aware that something is wrong. Recently, the dustmen of England went on strike for higher wages. During the first few days it was regarded as a joke.
65、 For some reason, jokes have always been made about dustmen, and some people thought this strike was very amusing. But when the first two weeks had passed, and the dustbins were overflowing in nearly every backyard in the country, the joke did not seem so funny any more. As the strike continued, peo
66、ple could not bear the accumulation of rubbish around their dustbins, and they looked for other places in which to get rid of it. Even when the strike was over, and the wages dispute had been settled, it took several weeks for the country to get cleaned up completely, as so much rubbish had accumula
67、ted. Perhaps now the English people appreciate the work of their dustmen rather more highly, and wont take them for granted any more. 2009-2010年度第二学期高二年级期末考试英语试题答题纸第II卷 (共45分)题号第一节第二节总分得分第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分, 满分15分)76.
