It has been described as gentle, clever and friendly. Yet not all Labs are the same.John Grogan discovered this after he and his wife adopted a Labrador that they named Marley. The dog caused Mr. Grogan a lot of trouble, but it also provided many stories for his newspaper articles. Later, he wrote a best-selling book, “Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog.”Marley was happy and fun-loving. But he was also extremely large and difficult to control. He bit anything that he could find around the house, including plastic, clothing and jewelry. And he had a great fear of loud noises, especially thunderstorms. Unfortunately, the Grogans lived in Florida where many thunderstorms develop. Marley would attack the furniture, walls and doors until his feet bled if he was left alone in the house during a thunderstorm. Marley almost damaged their home several times.John Grogan said that at first he considered that probably his dog could be trained to be a show champion. But he soon realized that was impossible. Marley didn’t like to learn skills that didn’t belong to dogs, and he was driven out of the dog training school for causing troubles for other dog s. He didn’twant to hide his emotions. He would show his anger and tiredness if he felt them.Even if that, Marley still had earned a place in the Grogans’. He didn’t know how to dance, and he didn’t know how to walk on its two legs, but he was what he w as. He would never be a Lassie or a Benji or an old Yeller for he would never like to take part in a dog show, but the Grogans accepted him and loved him very much.61. The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to the fact that ____.A. not all dogs won the honor of the most popular breedB. not all Labs are gentle, clever and friendlyC. Marley caused the Grogans a few troublesD. Marley provided many stories for the newspaper articles62. We can infer when John Grogan wrote the book “Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog.”, he was very ____.A. angryB. disappointedC. happyD. frightened63. What made Marley attack the furniture when he was left alone in the house during a thunderstorm?A. The fear of hearing loud noises.B. The anger of being left alone.C. The unhappiness of having no toys.D. The disappointment of getting nothing to eat.64. Marley was driven out of the dog training school because he ____.A. didn’t like to learn skills that didn’t belong to dogsB. made it difficult for other dogs to get trainedC. liked to attack the trainers when getting angryD. didn’t know how to hide his emotions65. From the passage we can know ____.A. every dog in America attends the dog training schoolB. a Lassie should be a troublesome dog just like MarleyC. Marley often lost his temper and bit other dogsD. Marley led a life full of love in the Grogans’BWhat will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only ab out 20% of the brain’s capacity(容量). As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.66. The passage mainly tells us that __________.A. Man’s life will be different in the futureB. Future man will look quite different from usC. Man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD. Man’s organs’ functions will change67. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Man’s hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Man’s arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.68. The change in man’s size of the forehead is probably because __________.A. he makes use of only 20% of the brain’s capacityB. his brain has grown larger over the past centuriesC. he will use his brain more and more as time goes onD. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time69. Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn’t have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in a different way.70. It is implied that __________.A. human beings will become less attractive in the futureB. body organs will become poorer if they are not used oftenC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictableCYou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or a creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化) your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. What ever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losinga job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life. In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.71. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A. People and things around you.B. Opportunities and problems.C. Creators and their choices.D. Victims and their sufferings.72. According to Paragraph 2, creators __________.A. seem willing to experience failures in lifeB. possess the ability to predict future lifeC. handle ups and downs of life wiselyD. have potential to create something new73. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Creators and victims face quite different things in life.B. Creators and victims are masters of their lives.C. Victims can influence more people than creators.D. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.74. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that __________.A. strong attachment to (沉浸在)sufferings in life pulls people into victimsB. people need family support to deal with challengers in lifeC. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their painsD. one’s experiences determine his attitude towar d life75. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To define victims and creators.B. To evaluate victims against creators.C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators.D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.五. 单词拼写(共10分)76.Do away with the bad habits that might d_______ your health.77.His action speaks well for his good q______.78.The death of their daughter was a c____ blow.79.He is a r______ contributor to Children’s Magazines.80.I went to the lawyer’s and asked “ How can I l____ protect myself ?”81.There is no reason to d______ his honesty.82.If you spit in public, you will be f______.83.I like to go to the market and enjoy b______ with the sellers.st month we had our dormitory d________ to welcome the New Year.85.Workers built s_____ for survivors whose homes had been destroyed.六.书面表达(10分)某英文报社举办以“”为主题的征文活动。
