They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food and medical care. However, dogs without owners to care for lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog’s life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs. They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. People who are unkind or uncaring can be described meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite. Husbands and wives use this doghouse term when they are angry at each other. For example, a woman might get angry at her husband for coming home late or forgetting their wedding anniversary. She might tell him that he is in the doghouse. She may not treat him nicely until he apologizes. However, the husband may decide that it is best to leave things alone and not create more problems. He might decide to let sleeping dogs lie.Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs. 56. To achieve success, you must . A. feel dog-tired B. work like a dog C. become sick as a dog D. be meaner than a junkyard dog 57. To everyone’s surprise, Jack has been employed by a big company, about which we can say, “_______”. A. Every dog has its day B. Jack works like a dog C. His bark is worse than his bite D. Jack really lives in a dog-eat-dog world 58. If you are in the doghouse, . A. you must be forgetful B. you are living a hard life C. someone is annoyed with you D. you can’t get along with your partner59. What kind of people live a difficult life? A. Those who lead a dog’s life. B. Those who have the dog days. C. Those who are in the doghouse. D. Those whose bark is worse than his bite.60. What does the article mainly talk about? A. Dogs’ life in America. B. How to treat dogs well. C. Why Americans love dogs. D. Expressions with the word “dog”.BSir,Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo books Ltd., offered this set (eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a ‘remarkable’ price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare’s plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid. Yours faithfully, SIMON WALKER61. Simon Walker wrote the letter to ________. A. show his anger to Cosmo Books Ltd.. B. complain about getting books he didn’t want. C. advise readers not to order books from Cosmo Books Ltd.. D. urge for the final solution to the problem with the unwanted books. 62. The advertisement that Mr. Walker saw in the Morning Mail was for ________ A. unlimited number of Cosmo Books. B. a set of 10 books of the works of Shakespeare. C. fifteen pounds and fifty pence. D. a book containing all the plays and poems of Shakespeare.63. Mr. Walker answered the advertisement because ________ A. he wanted a set of Shakespeare’s works which was a good bargain B. he claimed that the books were being offered at a remarkable price. C. he had ordered the set and had been waiting for them to come for some time. D. the set he already had was not particularly attractive.64. It can be inferred that _______ A. Cosmo Books have sent bills for books that they have not sent. B. Mr. Walker took some action after receiving the books he did not order. C. Mr. Walker hasn’t received the books that he ordered. D. Several sets of books have been sent to Mr. Walker free of charge.65. The tone of the letter is that of _______ A. bitterness B. respect C. annoyance D. humorC As researchers learn more about how children’s intelligence develops, they are increasingly surprised by the power of parents. The power of the school has been replaced by the home. To begin with, all the factors which are part of intelligence-the child’s understanding of language, learning patterns, curiosity-are established well before the child enters school at the age of six. Study after study has shown that even after school begins, children’s achievements have been far more influenced by parents than by teachers. This is particularly true about learning that is language-related.The school rather than the home is given credit for changes in achievement in subjects such as science.In view of(鉴于) their power, it’s sad to see so many parents not making the most of their child’s intelligence. Until recently parents had been warned by educators who asked them not to educate their children. Many teachers now realize that children cannot be educated only at school and parents are being asked to contribute both before and after the child enters school.Parents have been particularly afraid to teach reading at home. Of course, children shouldn’t be pushed to read by their parents, but educators have discovered that reading is best taught individually-and the easiest place to do this is at home. Many four-and five-year-olds who have been shown a few letters and taught their sounds will create single words of their own with them even before they have been taught to read.66.What have researchers found out about the influence of parents and the school on children’s intelligence? A.Parents have greater influence than the school. B.The school plays a greater role than parents. C.Parents and the school have the equal power. D.Neither parents nor the school has any influence.67.Researchers conclude that________. A.it is with the help of the teachers that children have an understanding of language B.curiosity is formed after the children enter school C.children’s learning patterns are developed at the early age D.only the school can give children the opportunity to make achievements68.According to the text, in which area may school play a more important role? A.Moral education. B.Language education. C.Physical education. D.Science education.69.Many parents fail to make the most of their children’s intelligence because________. A.they usually push the children to read at home B.they only teach them after they enter school C.they teach them in a wrong way at home D.they were told by educators not to teach their children 70.The author suggests in the text that________. A.teaching at home has fully replaced school education B.parents should be encouraged to teach reading at home C.reading is supposed to be taught in large groups D.school education should give way to home educationD Self-employed private physicians who charge a fee for each patient visit are the foundation of medical practice in the United States. Most physicians have a contract relationship with one or more hospitals in the community. They send their patients to this hospital, which usually charges patients according to the number of days they stay and the facilities(operating room, tests, medicines that they use). Some hospitals belong to a city, a state or, in the case of veteran’s hospitals, a federal government agency. Others are operated by religious orders(教会) or other non-profit groups.Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried physicians may work as hospital staff members, or residents, who are often still in training. They may teach in medical schools, be hired by corporations to care for their workers or work for the federal government’s Public Health Service.Physicians are among the best paid professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes of more than $ 100,000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons, might earn several times that amount. Physicians list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is the long and expensive preparation required to become a physician in the United States. Most would be physicians first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $ 20,000 a year at one of the best private institutions. Prospective physicians then attend medical school for four years. Tuition alone can exceed $ 10,000 a year. By the time they have obtained their medical degrees, many young physicians are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of residency (实习阶段) in a hospital, the first year as an apprentice physician. The hours are long and the pay is relatively low.Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several physicians will decide to establish a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These physicians also take care of each other’s patients in emergencies.Physicians work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical procedures, even quite routine ones, involve risk. It is understandable that physicians want to be well rewarded for making decisions which can mean the difference between life and death.71.According to the passage, it is very unlikely that an American hospital is owned by_____. A.a church B.a corporation C.a city D.a state72.The expenses for becoming a doctor are spent on ________. A.schooling and retraining B.practice in a hospital C.facilities he or she uses D.education he or she receives73.According to the passage, how long does it take for a would-be physician to become an independent physician in the USA? A.About seven years. B.Eight years. C.Ten years. D.About twelve years.74.Sometimes several physicians set up a group medical practice mainly because A.there are so many patients that it is difficult for one physician to take care all of them B.they can take turns to work long hours C.facilities may be too much of a burden for one physician to shoulder D.no one wants to assume too much responsibility75.Which of the following statements could fully express the author’s view towards physicians’ payment in the USA? A.For their expensive education and their responsibility, they deserve a handsome pay. B.It is reasonable for physicians to have a large income because their work is very dangerous. C.Physicians should be better paid because they work long hours under bad conditions. D.Physicians have great responsibility, so it is understandable that they should be well rewarded.第Ⅱ卷(共35分)第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节 阅读表达(10分)【1】 First aid means the aid or the help that can be given to an injured person first, that is, before any other help arrives.

Thank you very much for your help.M: That’s all right.(Text 10)My name is Jenny Barker, and I work at St James Hospital. I’m here today to talk about the blood transfusion. Often, if a person loses a lot of blood, this is the time when a blood transfusion is needed. This simply means taking blood from another person and putting it into the patient’s body. Doctors have been carrying out blood transfusions for hundreds of years. At first, they used blood from sheep, but that wasn’t very successful. It wasn’t until the last century that the doctors realized there are several types of blood and that the correct type must always be used. Then they knew that blood transfusions became almost a hundred percent successful. So, you might be thinking. “What does this have to do with me?” Well, it has something to do with all of us. Hospitals need to keep back the blood ready for transfusions. The only way they can get that blood is from ordinary people like you. Every human body has five liters of blood and we take 0.5 liters from each person. This is completely safe. In fact, your body will make enough blood to replace it after only a day. Giving blood only takes a short while and it doesn’t hurt. It costs you nothing but can save a life.

Students made gifts and wrote letters with concentrated attention. Some even did theses things with tears in theirs eyes. Besides, a great many good ideas were put forward to help their parents.This wonderful activity gives us teenagers a great opportunity to learn to care about our parents.
