21．（6分）It goes without saying, but bears repeating, there are too many cats and dogs without homes. While there are countless shelters and rescue centers that exist, some potential pet owners look to pet shops to find their furry friends. All too often, however, these animals come from puppy and kitten mills (繁殖场) that treat the creatures in cruel ways. San Francisco, however, is doing their part to stop this abuse with pet store adoption. Officials recently voted to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.The effect is two-fold. One, it will stop the popularity of the large-scale mills, which are famous for the miserable conditions cats and does are kept in. Two, it will help facilitate the adoption of thousands of animals that are waiting for their forever homes in San Francisco shelters. District 4 Supervisor Katy Tang, who serves on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, supported law-making on the ban. “Dogs and cats sold in pet stores often come from inhumane puppy and kitten mills that treat animals with no regard for their health or well-being”, she wrote on Facebook. In her message, she also called on the U. S. Agriculture Department to reinstate information on its website that documents these types of animal cruelty cases—it was removed earlier this month.San Francisco’s law-making is a victory for those concerned about animal rights, and they aren’t the first city to pass this type of measure. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Austin also have similar laws in place, with hopefully more places to follow suit.1、What happened to some dogs and cats before they got in the pet stores?A．They were treated cruelly.B．They were abandoned in streets.C．They received warm welcome.D．They were raised in shelters and rescue centers.2、Which of the following may Katy Tang agree with most?A．People should adopt the dogs and cats.B．Animals are too cruel to humans being.C．Government can choose to kill all the dogs and cats.D．It is not right to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.3、What does the underlined word “reinstate” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．update B．replaceC．post again D．download4、What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?A．No Chinese city joins this type of movement.B．San Francisco is the last city to ban pet stores.C．Americans care about animals more than humans.D．More and more cities are involved in animal rights.22．（8分）The “swim-with-dolphins” tourist industry is becoming more popular every year with the increase of people’s income. After all, it can cost a large amount of money to have this kind of holiday experience. So tour operators try to place eager swimmers as near as possible to the dolphins by trying to predict where the dolphins will be.Research has shown that while dolphins can move away if they do not want to interact (交流）with human swimmers, they do not like it at all if the swimmers slip into the water directly on top of them or if humans are in their path of travel. However, if swimmers enter the water to one side of them, the dolphins do not avoid the swimmers to the same extent.In all cases, the dolphins seem to have become more sensitive to the presence of the swimmers. For dolphins, swimming among or with humans is not necessarily a high priority. This research has shown that only 19% of any group of dolphins will participate in interaction. Young dolphins are the most likely to interact; they do seem curious about being with humans. It is believed that they see humans as “entertainment” and tha t the interaction is a new and unusual experience for them.It is frequently asked whether “swim-with-dolphins” tourism should be discontinued. The advice is that dolphins should be given enough periods of time throughout the day when they are not exposed to tourism. Permitted interactions should not be too disturbing to the dolphins since there could bemothers and calves (幼崽）present in dolphin groups. There should also be educational campaigns about the creatures and what is likely to cause danger to them.It is not easy to explain to someone that they cannot fulfill their lifelong dreams because the dolphins are resting, or that a mother dolphin and calf are in the area. But if we are to enjoy these remarkable animals and not just use them for our entertainment, then we must carefully monitor the“swim-with-dolphins” industry worldwide.1、What makes “swim-with-dolphins” tourism popular?A．The local government’s encouragement.B．The improvement of people’s living standard.C．The increasing number of tourists.D．The high profits of the industry.2、Why are young dolphins more likely to swim with humans?A．They do this out of curiosity.B．They like humans better.C．They are less sensitive.D．They prefer new things by nature.3、What does the author suggest the “swim-with-dolphins” industry do in Paragraph 4?A．Make people know the hidden threat to dolphins.B．Strictly limit the expansion of the industry.C．Avoid interaction with young dolphins.D．Expose dolphins to tourists only in the daytime.4、What is the aut hor’s attitude toward “swim-with-dolphins”? A．Negative.B．Cautious.C．Supportive.D．Optimistic.23．（8分）World Elephant Day is the perfect time to find out more about these amazing animals and what we can do to preserve them so they do not go the way of the mammoth（猛犸象）.World Elephant Day was created in 2011 by two Canadian filmmakers Patricia Sims and Thailand’s Elephant Reintroduction Foundation and was first celebrated on August 12, 2012. They made the documentary Return to the Forest, a fascinating 30 minute film about the reintroduction of caught Asian elephants to the wild.Currently, the demand for ivory（象牙）is becoming bigger and bigger, whose price is higher than that of gold, making elephants bigger targets than ever. Habitation loss is also a danger to the world’s elephant population as it robs elephants of the hundreds of pounds of food they need every day, making it more difficult for them to breed and making it easier for hunters to track them down. Circuses and tourism are also serious threats to the animals’ well-being.The best way to celebrate this day is to take the opportunity to educate yourself about these magnificent（巨大的）mammals and share your knowledge with others. As ever, simply spreading the word about the dangers these magnificent mammals face via social media can actually make a real change. Expose that “training” elephants often involves tying and beating them daily for months on end. If you want to get a bit more involved, you could choose to make a donation to a foundation dedicated to protecting elephants from hunters or relocating them to locations better suited to their needs.Whichever way suits you best, make sure that you spend this day in a way that helps elephants all over the world, so we, in turn, can continue to wonder at them and their uniquely fascinating way of life.1、What is the main purpose of World Elephant Day?A．To collect donations for elephants.B．To do researchers on elephants’ life.C．To protect the elephants from extinction.D．To make films about all kinds of elephants.2、Which of the following is the biggest threat to elephants?A．Human being.B．Severe climate.C．Natural environment.D．Limited food resource.3、What does the author advise doing to celebrate World Elephant Day? A．Watching the elephant shows.B．Making your own films about elephants.C．Appealing to focus on elephant protection.D．Traveling to Thailand to ride trained elephants.4、According to the text, what is the best way to protect elephants?A．Supplying enough food for elephants.B．Catching and raising elephants in the cages.C．Replacing elephants in suitable wild habitations.D．Attracting elephants to live together with human beings.24．（8分）During World War I the Red Cross set up a program for people to send letters to soldiers in Europe so they would never be lonely.

She asked him the typical things and he wrote a return letter with the typical answers.As their letters became more frequent they realized that they had much in common and a friendship was formed.

He would look like countless other soldiers so he told her he would hold a bouquet of carnations（康乃馨）and she said she would be carrying a particular book. If their love was real they could meet.At the station he was eagerly searching for the book in the hands of every woman he met. Shortly after, a short, plain and overweight woman appeared carrying a book. He knew it was her. His excitement for meeting the love of his life dashed away. But he put a big smile on his face and called her name. She smiled and came over to him. He bent to kiss her cheek, but she pushed him off. Instead she handed him the book and walked off. Confused, he suddenly turned around and a beautiful woman was standing and smiling before him.“I had to be sure, “she said to him, “if you were the man of personality I dreamed about. And you are.” And she came into his arms and they kissed for the first time under the big clock in the center of Grand Central Station.1、What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Soldiers B．LettersC．The typical answers D．The typical things2、Why did the soldier decide to fold a bouquet of carnations?A．To check if their love was trueB．To fulfill the promise he made years agoC．To distinguish himself from other soldiers.D．To present a welcome gift to the woman.3、How did the man feel at the first sight of the woman with a book?A．Eager B．CautionsC．Embarrassed D．Disappointed4、What’s the key topic of the passage?A．War and peace B．Dream and reality.C．Cheat and trust D．Friendship and love25．（10分）When a special occasion arrives，a colorful gift bag or a box often finds its way to a doorstep，an office desk or a mailbox．But once in a while，a present arrives at an unexpected moment as a reminder that someone is thinking about us．Wanda Anderson of Richland，US，remembers such a gift．The rosebushes were finally in full bloom on that day in spring．Seeing roses always brings to mind Wanda's childhood memories．To this young girl，those flowers were a luxury．"We never had money to buy extra things，so even a tired rose was something to cherish，" Wanda said．Nowadays，to have a backyard filled with many different roses is pure enjoyment．Wanda especially loves the very first blooms．Her husband，Dale，devotedly tends the roses and knows this little fact about his wife．So，on this particular morning，he picked the very first flowers of spring，fresh from the garden．But as Dale came back into the house，he was met by a neighbor who had stopped in for a quick visit．As the woman turned to go，Dale graciously （有风度地）handed the roses to her．And even though their visitor insisted she didn't want to take them，she was repeatedly convinced that the flowers were hers to keep．"I told her I was happy for her to have the roses，but I really wasn't，" Wanda said，recalling the emotions she was feeling right then．Seeing her very precious first blooms go out of the door filled her with regret，anda bit of selfishness．Throughout the rest of the morning，Wanda argued with herself，knowing logically it was "better to give than to receive．" Nevertheless，she wished she could have kept the roses for herself．Later that day，the couple headed to the post office，where Wanda waited outside in the car．Then，without warning，an older woman suddenly appeared at the car's open window，with a bunch of multicolored roses in her arms．"These are for you，" she said，giving the flowers to Wanda．"They're my first blooms this spring．" Totally surprised and overwhelmed （不知所措的），Wanda thanked the woman and bent for a moment to inhale （吸入）the roses' rich fragrance．When she looked back，the mysterious visitor was gone．To this day，that "special delivery" changed Wanda．Now，her very first blooms always go to someone else，as a reminder that someone is thinking of them．1、Why does Wanda love roses so much？______A．She thinks that they stand for pure love．B．She was given them often as a child．C．Her husband always sends her roses．D．She couldn't afford them when she was young．2、How did Wanda feel after the neighbor left？______A．Worried．B．Upset．C．Satisfied．D．Relieved．3、What changed Wanda's opinion of giving gifts？______A．The flowers her husband bought her．B．The gifts her neighbor gave back to her．C．The roses she received from a stranger．D．A mysterious delivery she got from the post office．4、Why does Wanda always give away her roses to others now？______A．To show off her beautiful flowers．B．To prove that she isn't selfish．C．To surprise people she loves．D．To show that she's thinking of them．第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）The other day, my husband and I took the kids for dinner at a branch ofPizza Express.
