The event happened late in an evening when Danny Dipietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his mom.‎ ‎ That' s when the young boy noticed an open garage and a figure that he believed was a dog outside an apartment building near his house, Given the freezing cold weather. the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing it like most kids his age would have, he insisted that his mother, Dawn, find out what was going on. Dawn tried to make Danny believe that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.‎ ‎ Dawn finally gave in and decided to drive to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth to danny's hunch (直觉) Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment building she noticed a garage that was wide open and someone waving madly for help. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St Onge. The 80-year-old had fallen down on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours，unable to get up.‎ ‎ Dawn rushed home to get her husband to help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St, Onge, while they waited for the ambulance to arrive.

The killer disasters come either early in the morning or late at night, when people are either resting or preparing to rest and, unfortunately, when people are least attentive to warning signs.‎ ‎ The Tangshan disaster struck early in the morning when the people were still sleeping.‎ Many people died in their sleep. Miners were trapped deep below the earth. Some died. Survivors waited in the dark. They hoped that rescuers would come and pull them out. It is a horrible thing to be in a situation where you can do nothing to save yourself.‎ ‎ It seems that, Mather Nature has always attacked us as if she were afraid that we would fight back. Otherwise why would she come only as a thief? I have a story to tell you, This one happened in August 1986 in the villages near Lake Nyos in Cameroons northwest province. Large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2)gas had been collecting at the bottom of the lake. It was clear that nobody knew about the gas or about how dangerous it was. Suddenly, before dawn on August 26, 1986, a large quantity of gas was released (gave off) from the lake. CO2 is heavier than air, so it spread out over the nearby villages. The blanket of CO2 floated for 25 kilometres. Many people died in their sleep from lack of oxygen(O2). Before sunrise, more than 1, 700 people had lost their lives. And thousands of animals were also killed by the gas. At first scientists believed that the gas was caused by an earthquake or a volcano. However, further studies proved that there had been no volcanic activity. Nobody is very certain how such a large amount of gas was released from the lake. Scientists from the USA, the EU, Japan and Cameroon have been studying the lake for the past twenty years. Yet they still have not found an answer.‎ Well, Jun, let me leave Mother Nature and her timid(胆小的) way of attacking us. I need to run out for some noodles at a nearby Chinese restaurant.‎ ‎ Take good care of yourself.‎ ‎ Theresa ‎ ‎27. What were most people doing when the Tangshan earthquake happened?‎ A. They were sleeping B. They were watching TV.‎ C. They were preparing to rest. D. They were mining below the earth ‎28. What caused so many people to die near Lake Nyos?‎ A. A thief. B. A large quantity of poisonous gas C. A lack of oxygen D. A thick cloud in the sky ‎29. Which of the following sentences is true according to the passagc?‎ A. No Animals were killed by the gas near Lake Nyos B. Mother Nature was afraid that people would fight back C. People seem to be more attentive to signs of disasters in the daytime.‎ D. Scientists have been studying the Tangshan earthquake for the past twenty years.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined sentence mean at the end of the letter?‎ A. The writer decided to leave nature and hide away B. The writer decided to stop writing about the topic C. The writer decided to attack nature bravely D. The writer decided not to fight with nature because she was timid. ‎ ‎ D ‎ Rome, Paris and New York are the world's top fashion cities, all of which have produced some of the top trends, from fashionable skirts to the hottest new shoes. But have you ever wondered about the negative ideas that they have enforced?‎ ‎ In April 2016, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in Britain banned an ad from Gucci that featured models dancing around and having fun, because thay were all extremely skinny. Banning ads due to the models' extreme figures isn't new. The ASA banned an ad in 2015 for the same reason. In France, it has been ruled that models are to provide a doctor's note providing that they are at a healthy weight.‎ ‎ So what is the healthy weight for models? Twenty years ago, the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today, they weigh 23 less. ‎ ‎ People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models do. This provides a standard of beauty, and therefore people who want to achieve those things may attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways. People may think that they are overweight, due to the images of models' thin figures. They see something wrong with their bodies，whether they are overweight or not. This is a key factor in a lowered body image, low self-es-teem, depression and possibly even eating disorders.‎ Im not blaming the fashion industry by any means It's not their fault that many people look up to the models and expect to live a life like theirs. I am glad that the ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing issue of body images in the fashion industry. By banning photos and videos, speaking out against them and pushing for doctor's notes from the models, it's pushing for the ideas that the traditional fashion industry's body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned.‎ ‎31.According to the text, why was one of Gucci's ads banned?‎ A. Because the models didn t act according to the rule B. Because its models are much too thin.‎ C. Because none of its models had a doctor's note D. Because its models were dancing in an unhealthy way ‎32. We can infer from the numbers mentioned in Paragraph 3 that________‎ A. models are becoming thinner with time going by B. many women are on a diet to become models C. people dont know why models weigh less D. the healthy weight for models hasn't been decided ‎33. What does the fourth paragraph mainly show?‎ A. The changes in the standard of beauty B. The benefits of becoming thin figures.‎ C. people's attitudes towards models' images D, The negative effects of models' images ‎34.The possible purpose of the ASA's measures 15 to__________‎ A. change the future models are faced with B. criticize the traditional standards for models C. set up new standards of models' body images D encourage more people to livc a life like models ‎35. What is the author's tone of writing this passage?‎ A Critical. B Humorous. C. Hopeful. D. Objective 第二节(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容,从短文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。‎ ‎ Ways to build strong friendships ‎ Be loyal to a friend. Part of being a friend is being prepared to devote your time and energy to helping out your friends. If a friend needs help with an unpleasant thing, or if he or she just needs a shoulder to cry on, be there for them. 36 . This is a good way to attract the kind of friends you want in your life.‎ ‎ 37 When you say you'll do something, do it. When your friend tells you a secret, keep it secret from others, Be someone that people know that they can rely on. If you show this quality to your friends, they will appreciate it and will be reliable in return.‎ ‎ Be a good listener. Many people think they have to appear very interesting. 38_ Listen carcfully to what people say, remember important details about them, ask questions about their interests, and take the time to learn more about them.‎ ‎ Stress your good qualities. Show others what makes you stand apart from the crowd. Talk bout your interests and hobbies. Everyone has interesting stories to tell -don't be afraid to share yours. 39 People love to be around someone who makes them laugh.‎ ‎ Choose your friends wisely. As you make friends with more people, you may find that some are hard to get along with. Sometimes you may even realize that certain friendships are unhealthy. 40 Cherish those friends who are a positive influence in your life, and do your best to be a positive influence in theirs.‎ A. Be a reliable friend B. Keep your promise to your friend C. Besides, a little humor always keeps a conversation light and happy D. In this case, walk your way out of the friendship as gracefully as possible E. Being a loyal friend will attract other people to you who value this quality.‎ F.

When he came out, he saw his pet had guided the soldier on the other side of the hospital yard safely. So he taught the dog to guide a person and it worked out well. Germany helped start a program to teach dogs to be guides.‎ Dorothy, an American woman, went to Germany to find out more about the guide dogs. When she came back to the United States, she wrote about it in a magazine. Soon more people knew about the guide dogs.‎ The best dogs for the job are clever and fit. It takes more than two years to train a little dog to be a guide dog. When the dog is 14 months old, it learns many instructions. Then the owner and the dog meet, and they practise for four weeks.‎ Have I made myself clear? OK, let’s go on visiting.‎
