A contest held in California to crown “The 20 17 World Ugliest Dog” may appear to be upsetting to dogs. However, that is not the purpose of the organizers of the Sonoma-Marin Fair where the popular event has been held for the past 28 years.
Among the 17 dogs that walked across the red carpet was Second-time entrant(参赛者)Katana. The seven-year-old little wire-haired Dachshund, who now lives with her mom in Santa Rosa, was rescued from a cage at a pet store in Japan. She loves to eat and steal and hide her owner’s belongings. Also in competition was lcky. Rescued from an animal collector in Butte County, the “ugly”dog has helped raise over $10,000 for AID-related charities and also been featured in various movies, commercials, magazines and newspapers.

The four-pound Chinese Crested dog with an attractive blond Mohawk(莫霍克头) impressed both the judges and audience with her tongue and hairless coat.
Josie won the runner-up, while Rue, another Chinese-Crested dog from Linden, Came in the third place. First-time entrant Rooby Roux, went home with the Spirit Award. Started in 2015, it honors dogs that have gotten over hardship. Given that Roux lost her original owner to a disease and lost her eyesight to glaucoma(青光眼), she certainly deserved it. The good news is that the new family loves her and is even trying to get her sight restored.
Of course, while these dogs have found loving families, there are many dogs that are hot as fortunate. The fair organizers hope that this contest will help people realize that even the not-so-perfect dogs can also be loving and loyal(忠诚), and encourage more people to adopt them.

This past summer I participated in a Summer Abroad program with my university. I travelled to Oxford, England to take a Shakespeare course at Oxford University. Two of the best aspects about the program were that I completed a full year course in one month, and that as the course was taught by an instructor from my university, I didn’t have to worry about transferring credits(转学分)!
Completing a full year course in one month was intensive(强度大的). Even though I was overseas, I wasn’t on vacation. There was a lot of work to do, just like in a regular course: readings, assignments, a mid-term; and an exam. But it was an enriching experience because I got to see the material I was studying brought to life. Studying abroad allowed me to experience integrated(综合的) learning. I got to see plays at Shakespeare’s Globe in London and the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford. I 1ove reading Shakespeare, and being able to see his works in action was great for my
learning because it allowed me to understand the material better.
The Summer Abroad program is, of course, mainly centred around academics. However, there was time for fin and time to explore. Classes were on Monday to Thursday mornings, so that Thursday afternoon, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were left as free time although there was a lot of studying to do during those hours! Some people took trips to different countries within Europe because travelling is much cheaper there. I chose to spend a few days in London, exploring the typical tourist attractions such as Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey.
Studying abroad was an amazing experience, and I made some new friendships that will last a lifetime.
29. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. not all courses of the Summer Abroad program have valid credits
B. the Summer Abroad program is the best way to earn credits

D. only in Oxford can we learn the Shakespeare course well
30. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

C. Studying abroad was too challenging for the author.
D. Many of Shakespeare’s works were brought to life.
31. During free time the author .
A. visited some places of interest in London
B. read Shakespeare’s: works in libraries
C. made as many new friends as possible
D. traveled to different European countries
32. How did the author feel about his summer vacation abroad?
A. It was unexpected.
B. It was troublesome.
C. It was boring.
D. It was rewarding.

An eco-friendly Danish company has come up with a new product—plantable pencils, as a way of highlighting the concept of sustainability(可持续性). The creations made by Danish company Sprout focus on things you can recycle and plant like pencils, cards and stickers.
Their plantable pencils are one:of their hot products, As the name suggests, plantable pencils are fitted with a small capsule at the end that contains seeds. Michael Stausholm, Sprout’s chief manager, says once the pencil is too short to use, it can be planted in soil instead of being thrown away. “It shows people—kids, grownups—in a very easy way what sustainability is all about. Don’t just use things and throw them away. Use things, and then use them for something else. In this case, we give it new life. ”
The seeds inside the capsules range from flowers to herbs and fruiting plants. The botanist says they are testing out more varieties, especially those difficult to grow in cooler northern European homes to ensure their pencils contain the best possible variety of a particular seed.
Stausholm said, “People seem to really love the eco pencil and the fact that it has so many practical uses. I also think the fact that it is 100 per cent sustainable and is handmade from only natural materials makes it more appealing.
Sprout now sells between 300,000 and 400,000 pencils a month. IKEA, Disney, Pepsi, and Bank of America, as well as public bodies and citizens, are all on Sprout’s customer list.
They are also developing small waterproof boxes called “Tiny Gardens”, targeted at people who don’t want to keep soil in the kitchen.
Though some are ignoring their importance when it comes to longer term sustainability, Stausholm says the plantable products can still make an impact. “We don’t think that we save the planet at all, but it’s a small thing, it’s the small things that we do in our everyday lives, step by step. We can all make a difference in the way we think when we consume.”
33. What’s special about the plantable pencil?
A. It can grow into different plants.
B. It can be made into different seeds.
C. It can be planted in special soil.
D. It can be kept in waterproof boxes.
34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Plantable pencil is the only successful product of Sprout.
B. Only handmade products will have sustainability.
C. The plantable pencils have become popular in many countries.
D. The eco pencil are refused in northern European countries.
35. The author writes the passage in order to .
A. advertise the plantable pencils to the world
B. introduce a new and sustainable way of writing
C. make a difference in the world step by step
D. introduce a new and eco-friendly product

第二节 书面表达(One possible version):
Dear Jim,
I’m delighted to learn that you’re going to introduce something in your Chinese Culture Week.
In fact, calligraphy and Beijing Opera are both symbols of traditional Chinese culture. Personally, I prefer that you introduce calligraphy, which has always been considered as the unique traditional Chinese art. It’s widely acknowledged that practising calligraphy is of great help to understand Chinese characters and improve Chinese handwriting. Furthermore, when you are anxious or upset, practicing calligraphy can help you calm down. Most importantly, it’s a good way to enhance your ability of appreciation by practising different kinds of calligraphy.
Hope you’ll become a popular figure in your school by introducing calligraphy and enjoy yourself during the Chinese Culture Week.
Yours,
Li Hua
