Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlours(客厅) where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets.‎ This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods，which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it’s not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.‎ There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of babies — a disease with no known cure.‎ Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat，and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the ＂sweet little thing＂ has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on ＂Rover＂ or ＂Bonzo＂. Then they just abandon it. As a result, they are allowed to run free. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone’s pet and you must have read of children 7‎ ‎ being hurt by some pets of their own.‎ Lastly, I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it’s time we stopped being sentimental about pets. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments. This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases, then I say,＂keep cutting!＂‎ ‎1. The doggy parlours are mentioned in the 1st paragraph to show ________. ‎ A. what costly lives the pets are living B. where Americans keep their pets C. why children love their pets so much D. how much pets depend on their masters ‎2. In the second paragraph ＂to get hot under the collar＂ probably means ________. ‎ A. getting quite hot B. becoming excited C. feeling extremely angry D. receiving a fashionable shirt ‎3. According to the author, in which field can animals be most useful?‎ A. Food. B. Sports. ‎ C. Entertainment. D. Medicine.‎ ‎4. What is the author’s attitude towards pets-raising?‎ A. Sympathetic. B. Opposed.‎ C. Pitiful. D. Supportive.‎ ‎【文章大意】这是一篇议论文。作者通过介绍饲养宠物存在的种种问题(譬如饲养成本昂贵、宠物致人受伤、传染疾病等)，表达了自己反对饲养宠物，而是应当将宠物用于贡献人类医学实验的观点。‎ ‎1. A　【解析】推理判断题。＂the doggy parlours＂所在的句子就是为了进一步阐释第一句＂A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children.＂，即如今人们在饲养宠物上花销巨大的现状。故答案为A。‎ 7‎ ‎3. D　【解析】推理判断题。从本文的最后两句＂I can see no reason why we should get upset...This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases...＂可知作者认为宠物在人类医学领域可以起着有益的作用。因此答案为D。‎ ‎4. B　【解析】观点态度题。文章前面介绍了成本昂贵、传染疾病等饲养宠物的危害，后面又提到应把宠物用于贡献人类医学领域中去，故而可以看出作者对于饲养宠物的做法持反对态度。因此答案为B。‎ B Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a lifechanging adventure overseas.They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down.However，life overseas is not always easy，and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.‎ The honeymoon period At first，for those who actually decide to move abroad，life is an exciting adventure.They enjoy exploring their new surroundings，and life seems like an extended holiday.They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture.They can even afford to practise their foreignlanguage skills without fear of making mistakes.‎ Trouble in paradise In many cases，when people consider moving to another country，they often fail to realize how different life will be.As time goes by，they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache.In this stage，the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favour of mixing with others from their own cultural background.‎ The road to recovery Gradually，most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them.This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home，such as opening a bank 7‎ ‎ account.This newfound confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.‎ Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem.The secret to overcome it is to stop trying to change your host country. If not，you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。许多人因为喜欢冒险和探索，所以移居国外生活，但文化的差异和语言的不同又使得他们很沮丧，因此作者建议移居国外的人最好能够学好当地语言以适应当地生活。‎ ‎1．Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?‎ A．They find foreign living much easier.‎ B．They have the necessary language skills.‎ C．They love the adventure and exploration.‎ D．They enjoy meeting people from different cultures.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。该题问的是移居海外的人最初感到兴奋的原因。根据The honeymoon period部分第一、二句可知，因为他们喜欢冒险和探索，所以会感到兴奋。故选C。‎ ‎2．According to the author，what is the main problem many people moving abroad face?‎ A．Homesickness.　　　 B．Culture shock.‎ C．Health problems. D．Lack of employment.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据Trouble in paradise部分第二句以及联系本段内容可知，许多移居海外的人面临的主要问题是文化冲击。故选B。‎ ‎3．What would the author suggest people moving abroad do?‎ A．Study the local language.‎ B．Go on holidays frequently.‎ C．Learn how to open a bank account.‎ D．Seek out people from their home country.‎ A　解析：推理判断题。根据The road to recovery部分第二句以及最后一段可知， 作者建议移居海外的人学习当地的语言，这样才能够适应海外的生活。故选A。‎ 三、书面表达 7‎ 下面这幅图片描绘的是一幅反映城市交通堵塞及交通压力问题的场景。请根据你对这幅图片的理解用英语写一篇短文。你的短文应包含以下内容：‎ ‎1．描述图中所表达的相关信息；‎ ‎２．分析此现象的原因；‎ ‎３．提出你的建议（至少两条）‎ 注意：‎ ‎１．可参用下面文章开头所给提示，有必要地发挥想象。‎ ‎２．词数120左右。开头已经写好，不计入总词数。‎ Nowadays, it’s hard to imagine how often you are a victim of a traffic jam．_____．‎ ‎【参考范文】书面表达 7‎
