To recommend tourist activities．‎ B My 18-month-old son, Adam, called from the front door. “Look, Mama! Doggie!” I dropped what I was doing and stuck my head out of the door. Brandy, our next-door neighbor’s 11-year-old dog, was over again. “Go away!” I shouted.‎ Brandy’s owner had died about a month earlier. The woman’s family had emptied the house and stuck a “For Sale” sign in the front yard, but the family had left old Brandy behind. For weeks, she’d been wandering around the neighborhood.‎ It wasn’t that I disliked dogs or anything like that. I just didn’t think about them very much. I never had a dog growing up and had never thought to get one.‎ Brandy went away and l stayed outside with Adam. Then the phone rang. I went inside to take the call. When I came back, Adam was gone. I searched the yard, front and back, then the basketball court and public pool. No trace of him. I was so nervous that I ran home and called the police, then my husband.‎ Police searched the neighborhood. Suddenly I heard another sound: a dog barking. “It’s coming from the woods,” one of my neighbors said. We followed the barking to a wooded cliff（悬崖）. There we found my son, and he was just inches away from the edges of the cliff, fast asleep. Brandy was beside him, leaning（倚靠）against him to keep him away from the edge. When I picked Adam up, Brandy sank down on her side, breathing quickly. She must have been holding Adam there for hours!‎ I thanked the police and brought Adam and Brandy back to our house. She hesitated a moment on our doorstep, no doubt remembering the time I’d driven her away.‎ ‎“Come on, girl,” I said. “This is your home now.” Brandy stepped in, and once she saw she was really welcome, she relaxed and lay down on the floor just inside the door. She’d done a great thing, and I wondered if she knew it. She’d certainly touched me in a way that no animal ever had. What a pity a dog like Brandy had been left behind!‎ 21. What is the correct order for the events in the story about Brandy?‎ a．She was left behind by her owner’s family.‎ b．She stepped into the woman’s house.‎ c．She appeared at the woman’s front door.‎ d．She stayed beside the woman’s son for hours.‎ A. d, c, b, a B. a, c, b, d C. c, d, b, a D. a, c, d, b 21. What did the woman do when she first saw Brandy?‎ A. She gave her some food. B. She took her home.‎ C. She drove her away. D. She said thank you to her.‎ 22. How were they able to be aware that the woman’s son was near the cliff?‎ A. By searching the neighborhood. B. By hearing a dog barking.‎ C. By following a dog’s footsteps. D. By hearing her son’s crying.‎ 23. What’s the woman’s attitude towards Brandy at the end of the story?‎ A. Gratitude. B. Dislike. C. Sympathy. D. Indifference.‎ C Are you concerned about your body image? These days, both women and men are surrounded by magazines and websites full of tips about dieting, exercise and fashion. Not to mention hairstyles! Gone are the days when all men had to consider wearing a nice suit to be smart and handsome. Things have changed.‎ Now, a survey by the University of the West of England (UWE) has suggested that 80% of men are unhappy about their body. The biggest body problems for them were beer bellies and lack of muscles.‎ Some think this sudden change is due to the pressure or influence of role models we see on TV and in magazines.‎ People end up with an understanding of what the perfect body should look like. But not everybody wants to put in the effort to have perfect pecs（胸肌）and white teeth like Arnold Schwarzenegger.‎ A factory has even invented a muscle-enhancing shirt to be worn under a man’s clothes to make him look more of a hunk.‎ But Joe Warner, the former editor of Men’s Fitness magazine in the UK, thinks the padded shirt is just a gimmick（骗人的玩意）. He thinks many people in the country are overweight, and should accept they need to do more exercise.‎ Warner says, “I think it’s a real shame that people still want shortcuts when it doesn’t take an awful lot of efforts to get to the gym or go for a walk.”‎ Exercise is always a good thing. But we mustn’t forget that beauty is only skin deep. Character is more important than appearance.‎ So before I head off to the pub, it might be worth spending an hour at the gym. I’m not looking to get a six-pack（块块隆起的腹肌）, but looking healthier would certainly improve my confidence and self-esteem.‎ 21. From the survey by UWE, we can know 80% of men ________.‎ A. lack opportunity to prove themselves B. are not satisfied with their body image C. want to have a muscle-enhancing shirt D. make complaints about the working conditions 22. The underlined word “hunk” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.‎ A. a brave and cool man B. a strong and sexually attractive man C. a handsome and energetic man D. a wise and wealthy gentleman 23. It can be learned that Joe Warner ________.‎ A. is the present editor of Men’s Fitness magazine in the UK B. thinks it’s right for people to want short cuts to a good body image C. thinks many people are overweight and should take regular exercise D. thinks the shirt with soft materials can change the appearance of the body 24. What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ A. You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.‎ B. More and more people become overweight in England.‎ C. Role models put great pressure on common people.‎ D. Men become more and more aware of the body image.‎ D My mother did quite the fine job loving me, guiding me, and leading me to be an excellent young man. She taught me to love all people around me and always reminded me of how special I was and my splendid future as a great leader one day. I believed her.‎ But she died when I was 14 and I was left to the world around me on my own.‎ My condition did not stop me from finally getting into college and spending my first year at Iowa State University. Unfortunately, I was not ready for college. After I left school and came back to Chicago, with no job and no bright future I frequently attended parties as if the world were coming to an end.‎ One day I walked out to the cold air. On this particular morning, I was the only person in the world.‎ ‎“This can’t be my life,” I announced to myself. I closed my eyes and started praying. My whole world soon became dark and I had a moment I have yet to forget. I saw my entire life unfold in an instant. My first vision consisted of the path I was on. The second vision consisted of taking another path. I saw my wife, my children, my struggles, my success, everything. Most importantly, I recalled that my mother had the expectation of me and what she said was that I would become someone special.‎ At that very moment I believed her again and my life was never the same. I applied for Roosevelt University immediately.‎ That term I earned all A’s and one B. I graduated three years later with two degrees—one in Economics, and the other Finance. Soon I went to law school and became a lawyer, started a family, and the rest is history.‎ As a child growing up under the wings of my mom, my expectation was always set as being someone special. Even after she died, the circumstances around me never darkened my expectations even if I faced a series of failure in my life.‎ It is the love, attention and support of a parent that can make a broken man cheer up and let me obtain everything I have today.‎ 21. What happened to the author after he left his college for the first time?‎ A. He decided to go back to university at once.‎ B. He became a loser in his life.‎ C. He succeeded in starting his own company.‎ D. He stopped to miss his mother and father.‎ 22. What mainly made the author decide to change completely during his prayer?‎ A. His struggles and success after making a fortune.‎ B. His father’s severe criticism for his failure.‎ C. His future wife, children and big family.‎ D. His mother’s expectation and words.‎ 21. Why did the author perform excellently in his university later?‎ A. Because he decided to gain success with Mother’s expectation.‎ B. Because he imagined his succeeding in earning lots of money.‎ C. Because he believed that he would make his mother pleased.‎ D. Because he had to study hard to earn scholarship.‎ 22. What does the author think make his life like this at present?‎ A. His parents’ forcing and ordering him to do so.‎ B. His mother’s high expectation and demand.‎ C. His mother’s love, attention and support.‎ D. His mother’s own excellent performance.‎ 三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）‎ Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways.  (36)   Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test.

In the past, people could not often have meat, rice or other delicious food. They could only eat these during the Spring festival. So every year they, especially children, expected that the Spring Festival would come soon. Now, although people's life is much better, and we can eat the delicious foods every day. People still like the festival, because most people can have a long holiday, and we are free to go on a trip or visit our friends or have parties with our family. In the evenings, we can have a big meal in the restaurant or stay at home with family and watch the TV programmes.‎ Besides, there are kinds of activities, such as lighting firecrackers and organizing traditional shows, which make the Spring Festival more interesting and exciting.‎ I hope you can come to China, enjoying it by yourself.‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua Text 1‎ M: Have you finished reading the book you borrowed from the library?‎ W: Oh, I didn’t read it straight through the way you read a book.
