A rescue group made sure hunting dogs Herbier and Hilda were adopted as a pair
since Hilda helps Herbier get around.
For more than 50 years, guide dogs have been trained to help humans with vision
challenges live without boundaries and enjoy independence in their homes, offices, and
the community at large. Given dogs' ability to be trained, along with their skills, it seemed
unavoidable that there would be an unofficial guide dog for a blind dog.
Almost more exciting is the fact that one such set, which was abandoned together in
Salem about a month ago, has found a new forever home that will allow the blind dog and
his caretaker dog to remain together.
A little more than a month ago, someone abandoned three dogs over the fence of a
local gentleman who formerly rescued greyhounds. The man no longer rescues the little
dogs of being long of body, short of leg and droopy of ears, but he did know to take them
to the Marion County Dog Services shelter.
The county shelter knew immediately to contact Diane Young at Salem Dogs, a local
dog rescue known for being heavy on love and affection that the county most likely has
on speed dial.
The rescue director responded in time, taking in the two of the dogs. One black male
was healthy and passed tests quickly and easily. He was put up for adoption at the shelter
and was quickly accepted.
The other two are between the ages of 4 and 5 , required a bit more care. Hilda, a
long-haired, black-dappled female, was obviously connected to Herbier, a light-brown, 高三英语试题第 6 页(共 12 页)
smooth-coated brown greyhound who had vision problems.
24. What can we learn about the abandoned dogs?
A. They have been trained for their ability and skills.
B. The three dogs were abandoned because they are blind.
C. They are finally adopted to live with the man who found them.
D. The dog Hilda offers to help the blind dog Herbier get around.
25. What does the underlined word " greyhounds" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Cows who have lost their babies.
B. Dogs who are abandoned by their owners.
C. Humans who become old and lonely.
D. Chickens which are living with their mom.
26. What can we infer from this text?
A. The touching story of two dogs helping each other happened one month ago.
B. Humans began to train dogs for the ability and skills of guidance five years ago.
C. The two abandoned dogs are still living together at the shelter today.
D. The two dogs were abandoned most probably because they were blind.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. A moving story about two dogs.
B. The Marion County Dog Services shelter.
C. A dog and a blind dog were trained.
D. Two dogs were abandoned by a man.

Playing tennis regularly could help keep people off death, but football, rugby and
running may not help people to live longer, a study suggests.
A study followed more than 80,000 people for an average of nine years to find out
if certain sports protected them against early death. It found that people who played racket
sports regularly were the least likely to die over the study period, reducing their individual
risk by 47 percent compared with people who did no exercise. Swimmers also reduced
their chance of death by 28 percent, aerobics (有 氧运动)fans by 27 percent and
cyclists by 15 percent. Yet running appeared to have no impact at all on dying early, and
neither did playing football or rugby.
Scientists say the difference may lie in the social aspect which goes alongside sports
like tennis and squash(壁球),which often involve clubs and organized activities
outside of the game. It means that people often have larger social net works and tend to 高三英语试题第 7 页(共 12 页)
keep up activities into later life, both of which are proven to be good for health.
In contrast, people who play team sports often do not move onto a new sport once
their teams break up for family, or injury reasons. They become watchers rather than
participants in their chosen activity.
The researchers found that playing racket sports was associated with a 56 percent
lower risk from heart death. Similarly swimmers lowered their heart disease or stroke risk
by 41 percent, and people who took part in activities like aerobics, dance or gymnastics
lowered their risk by 36 percent. But again running, football and rugby had no significant
impact on heart deaths.
However, other experts argue that this study must not be misinterpreted as showing
that running and football do not protect against heart disease. In this study both runners
and footballers had a lower rate of death from heart disease.
28. Which sport has hardly any impact on protecting people against early death?
A. Cycling. B. Swimming. C. Rugby. D. Tennis.
29. According to the study, which makes a big difference in keeping healthy?
A. Playing basketball with their friends occasionally.
B. Watching football games every day.
C. Taking up gymnastics and joining a club.
D. Doing running in the park every day.
30. What is considered more important to people's health?
A. Social networks.
B. Staying at home.
C. Physical examinations.
D. Setting up families.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Thousands of people participated in a 9-year research.
B. Study finds playing tennis helps people live longer.
C. It is wrong to say running has no impact on heart disease.
D. There are differences between racket sports and team games.
D
“Smombies"— people walking while staring at their smartphones are very real and
a growing cause for concern. To let people pay more attention to their surroundings to
avoid serious accidents, government in a small German town has come up with a more
positive solution-embedding (嵌入) traffic lights in the pavement to make them noticed 高三英语试题第 8 页(共 12 页)
by people always looking down at their phones.
The safety measure was taken. Authorities in Augsburg decided to act, installing
ground level traffic lights at two tram(电车)stops last Tuesday. The lights flash red
when a tram is coming, or when the regular traffic light turns red. "We realized that the
normal traffic light isn't in the line of sight of many pedestrians these days, ” said Tobias
Hermes, a city official. " So we decided to have an extra set of lights-the more lights we
have, the more people are likely to notice them. ”
Some Augsburg people appear to be quite happy with the idea. " I think it makes
sense, ” Jack Smith said, speaking to The Augsburg Alleghenies. “ One always sees young
people these days running over red lights. This makes it more obvious that you need to
stop. ”
Others, however, found the need for ground traffic lights unnecessary and even
frightening. " I find it scary that smartphone users are so engrossed that they need to install
lights in the ground so that they notice the tram coming," one person told the local paper.
But do this kind of pavement-embedded lights actually work? One interviewed
teenager believes not really. “To be honest, I didn't even notice it,” he told The Augsburg
Alleghenies. "Maybe it'd be useful at night, but I didn't realize it was there until just now.
”
32. From the text we can know that smombies refer to people_______.
A. who are fond of walking
B. who look at phones while walking
C. whose smartphones are embedded traffic lights
D. who pay more attention to their surroundings
33. What can we learn from Tobias Hermes?
A. The tram is the main cause of traffic accidents.
B. The tram's lights should flash while running.
C. Many people can't see normal traffic lights clearly.
D. The pavement-embedded lights are easier to be seen.
34. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "engrossed” in Paragraph
4?
A. Disturbed. B. Scared. C. Engaged. D. Inspired.
35. What can be a suitable tide for the text?
A. The Serious Smartphones Problems.
B. Advocate People to Celebrate Traffic Rules. 高三英语试题第 9 页(共 12 页)
C. The Importance of Ground Traffic Lights.
D. Ground Traffic Lights for People Staring at Their Smartphones.

You may feel pressured to plan out your whole life before you start applying to
colleges. 36 Though some people have well-focused career goals early in life, others don't
— and they still find their way to the right job. Staying flexible when it comes to thinking
about your future may be the right choice for you.
The world changes.
Webmasters didn't exist a generation ago. The world changes so fast that new careers
appear all the time, while others become less common. 37
There* s no one perfect career.
When choosing a career, you'll try to match your skills and interests with work in
certain areas. 38 Even jobs sounding ideal will probably involve some things you dislike.
But many jobs will suit you and allow you to use your talents.
You can only plan so far ahead.
39 That's because as important as planning and research are, chance still plays a
role. Keep an open mind, learn to tolerate some degree of uncertainty and watch for
opportunity.
40
Many people feel pulled to a job that's familiar, popular or profitable. In the long
run, however, people are generally happier and more successful if they choose a career
that matches their interests and strengths. Take the time to develop your interests and then
look for a career that will satisfy and fulfill you.
A. Satisfaction is key.
B. There won't be one perfect match.
C. But most people have ever experienced the stress.
D. Your feelings about what you want to do may be unclear.
E. Change your mind if you can't find a suitable job at present.
F. Did you ever hear someone say something like, “ I fell into my career" ?
G. Pay attention both to the changes in your interests and to developments in the
career world. 高三英语试题第 10 页(共 12 页)
