Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.‎ Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. I you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.‎ If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.‎ ‎41. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?‎ ‎ A. They are often forgotten by their owners.‎ ‎ B. They are used to living outdoors.‎ ‎ C. They build their won shelters.‎ ‎ D. They like to stay in warm places.‎ ‎42. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?‎ ‎ A. To know when to bring them inside.‎ ‎ B. To keep them from eating bad food.‎ ‎ C. To help them find shelters.‎ ‎ D. To keep them company.‎ ‎43. If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ___.‎ ‎ A. run short of clean water B. dig deep holes for fun ‎ C. dirty the snow nearby D. get lost in the wild ‎44. What is the purpose of this text?‎ ‎ A. To solve a problem. B. To give practical advice.‎ ‎ C. To tell an interesting story. D. To present a research result.‎ ‎ (B)‎ You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.‎ First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.‎ Let’s start with the wind blowing from behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.‎ If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (摆动). It shouldn’t look like a flag on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.‎ Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.‎ ‎45. What should you consider first while sailing?‎ ‎ A. Sailors’ strength. B. Wave levels.‎ ‎ C. Wind directions. D. Size of sails.‎ ‎46. What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ ‎ A. The boat. B. The wind. C. The sail. D. The angle.‎ ‎47. What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?‎ ‎ A. Move in a straight line. B. Allow the sail to flap.‎ ‎ C. Lower the sail. D. Tack the boat.‎ ‎48. Where can you probably find the text?‎ ‎ A. In a popular magazine. B. In a tourist guidebook.‎ ‎ C. In a physics textbook. D. In an official report.‎ ‎ (C)‎ Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile ‎ enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.‎ Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.‎ It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.‎ ‎49. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.‎?‎ ‎ A. Love. B. Politeness. C. Joy. D. Thankfulness.‎ ‎50. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .‎ ‎ A. show friendliness to strangers B. be used to hide true feelings ‎ C. be used in the wrong places D. show personal habits ‎51. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?‎ ‎ A. Learn about their relations with others.‎ ‎ B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.‎ ‎ C. Find out about their past experience.‎ ‎ D. Figure out what they will do next.‎ ‎52. What would be the best title for the test?‎ ‎ A. Cultural Differences B. Smiles and Relationship ‎ C. Facial Expressiveness D. Habits and Emotions ‎(D)‎ ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia – One of the world’s most famous fossils (化石) – the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton (骨骼) unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974 – will go on an exhibition tour abroad for the first time in the United States, officials said Tuesday.‎ Even the Ethiopian public has only seen Lucy twice. The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, Addis Ababa, is a replica while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroom. A team from the Museum of National Science in Houston, Texas, spent four years discussing with the Ethiopians for the U.S.‎ tour, which will start in Houston next September.‎ ‎“Ethiopia’s rich culture of both the past and today, is one of the best kept secrets in the world,” said Joel Bartsch, director of the Houston museum.‎ The six-year tour will also go to Washington, New York, Denver and Chicago. Officials said six other U.S.‎ cities may be on the tour. But they said plans had not been worked out.‎ Travelling with Lucy will be 190 other fossils.‎ Lucy, her name taken from a Beatles song that played in a camp the night of her discovery, is part of the skeleton of what was once a 3-foot-tall ape-man (猿人).‎ ‎53. The author writes this text mainly to ___ .‎ ‎ A. introduce a few U.S.‎ museums ‎ B. describe some research work ‎ C. discuss the value of an ape-man ‎ D. report a coming event ‎54. What do the words “a replica” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ ‎ A. A painting of the skeleton. B. A photograph of Lucy ‎ C. A copy of the skeleton. D. A written record of Lucy.‎ ‎55. How many cities has Lucy’s U.S.‎ tour plan already included?‎ ‎ A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Eleven.‎ ‎56. What was the skeleton named after?‎ ‎ A. An ape-man. B. A song. C. A singer. D. A camp.‎ ‎(E)‎ Make Up Your Mind to Succeed Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s a winner.” And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before. As a result, Stanford‎ ‎University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”‎ Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:‎ A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic – you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.‎ On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.‎ We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.‎ ‎57. What does the author think about the present generation?‎ ‎ A. They don’t do well at school. B. They are often misunderstood.‎ ‎ C. They are eager to win in sports. D. They are given too much praise.‎ ‎58. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ___ .‎ ‎ A. doesn’t want to work hard ‎ B. cares a lot about personal safety ‎ C. cannot share his ideas with others ‎ D. can succeed with the help of teachers ‎59. What does the growth mind-set believe?‎ ‎ A. Admitting failure is shameful.‎ ‎ B. Talent comes with one’s birth.‎ ‎ C. Scores should be highly valued.‎ ‎ D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.‎ ‎60. What should parents do for their children based on Dweck’s study?‎ ‎ A. Encourage them to learn from failures.‎ ‎ B. Prevent them from making mistakes.‎ ‎ C. Guide them in doing little things.‎ ‎ D. Help them grow with praise.‎ 第二节 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。(每小题1分)‎ Daughter：Dad.
