The owner will be fined if his dog does something wrong．‎ B. The author had difficulty getting along with the dog．‎ C. The author wanted to get rid of the dog on purpose．‎ D.

How his daughter loved Cady． B. When Cady became his friend．‎ C. Why they adopted Cady． D. Where Cady was trained．‎ ‎24.We can infer from the text that ______ ．‎ A. the author was happy about the dog's return B. it's the author's job to collect stray dogs C. the author has no experience in keeping dogs D. the author didn't want the dog to come back．‎ B One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest（卑微的） to the most powerful came for breakfast．I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled．He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone．I asked if I might join him．He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast．‎ We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things．We never introduced ourselves．I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat．So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked,‎ ‎“May I get you something?”‎ ‎“A coffee would be nice．”‎ Then I bought him a cup of coffee, We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit．At the door I met one of my friends．He asked,‎ ‎“How did you get to know Mr. Galbreath?”‎ ‎“Who?”‎ ‎“The man you were sitting with．He is chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs．”‎ I could hardly believe it．I was buying, offering a free breakfast, and feeling pity for one of the world’s richest and most powerful men!‎ My few minutes with Mr. Galbreath changed my life．Now I try to treat everyone with respect, no matter who I think they are, and no matter another human being with kindness and sincerity．‎ ‎25.What does the underlined word “disheveled” mean?‎ A．Unfriendly． B．Untidy．‎ C．Gentle． D．Kind．‎ ‎26.The author bought coffee for the old man because A．he thought the old man was poor B．he wanted to start a conversation C．he intended to show his politeness D．he would like to thank the old man ‎27.What is the message mainly expressed in the story?‎ A．We should learn to be generous．‎ B．It is honorable to help those in need．‎ C．People in high positions are not like what we expect．‎ D．We should avoid judging people by their appearances．‎ C If you’ve ever visited London, it’s likely that you’ve heard the loud chimes（鸣响）of Big Ben, the 157-year-old clock bell of the UK’s Houses of Parliament（议会）.‎ But on Aug 21, the world’s most famous bell fell silent. This is because the Palace of Westminster’s Elizabeth‎ ‎Tower, which houses Big Ben, needs to be repaired. The workers who’ll carry out the repairs don’t want their ears to be damaged by the sounds of the huge bell, reported BBC News. Big Ben won’t ring again regularly until 2021.‎ There’s been quite an emotional response to the move. Several members of parliament gathered in front of the Houses of Parliament to hear the bell’s last ‎ regular chime for four years. A few even shed tears, as if they were attending a friend’s funeral.‎ But a number of politicians are angry about the lengthy silencing of Big Ben, calling it a symbol of Britain, according to ABC News. And some members of public agree with it. “It’s our heritage,” David Dummigan, from Cumbria in the north of England, told The New York Times. “People come from all over the world to look at it and listen to it. It’s part of British history.” This kind of emotional reaction could be linked to “fears about Britain losing its voice and place in the world, which is part of the threat that comes from Brexit”, according to CNN. “The reality of losing a place at the top table is being made obvious,” it wrote.‎ Worries aside, fans of Big Ben will still be able to hear its unique chimes during special occasions such as New Year’s Eve. But if we do miss hearing Big Ben on a regular basis, we could always set its sound as our message tone.‎ ‎28.Why did Big Ben fall silent?‎ A. To get Big Ben repaired.‎ B. To create a quiet environment for residents.‎ C. To protect the workers’ ears.‎ D. To remove some politicians’ anger about it.‎ ‎29.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A. Big Ben needs to be repaired.‎ B. Big Ben is a symbol of Britain.‎ C. The UK is losing its voice in the world.‎ D. Big Ben should ring on special occasions.‎ ‎30.Why did Britons react emotionally?‎ A. Fears about Big Ben falling silent forever.‎ B. Threat coming from the rise of other countries.‎ C. Worries about not being able to visit Big Ben anymore.‎ D. Worries about the UK losing its influence on the world.‎ ‎31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Britons React Emotionally to Big Ben’s Silence.‎ B. Britons are Worried about the Fall of the UK.‎ C. Britain is Losing its Place at the Top Table.‎ D. Big Ben‎ ‎Falls Silent for Four Years.‎ D The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?”I shook my head stubbornly-and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday ,but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.‎ ‎“If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”‎ I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?‎ In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.‎ When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”‎ ‎“How long do I have to wait for him?”I asked impatiently.‎ ‎“Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said.‎ ‎“The artwork?”I was puzzled.‎ The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.‎ What a relief!‎ ‎32.Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling that morning?‎ A. Cheerful.‎ B. Nervous.‎ C. Satisfied.‎ D. Upset.‎ ‎33.What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?‎ A. The dentist’s agreeing to treat her at very short notice.‎ B. The dentist’s being as busy as the other dentists.‎ C. The surroundings of the dentist’s office.‎ D. The laughing assistant of the dentist.‎ ‎34.Why did the author suddenly smile?‎ A. Because the dentist came at last.‎ B. Because she saw a picture on the ceiling.‎ C. Because she could relax in the chair.‎ D. Because the assistant kept comforting her.‎ ‎35.What did the author learn from her experience most probably?‎ A. Strike while the iron is hot.‎ B. Have a good word for one's friend.‎ C. Put oneself in other's shoes.‎ D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.‎ 第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每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。‎ Ancient Rome was one of the world’s most powerful empires more than 2,000 years ago.

Now many students have iPads and think it’s a fashion to use them. Using an iPad, we can listen to music, download a lot of learning materials and read e-books on the screen. Obviously, it’s helpful to our study, especially to our English listening.‎ Some students, however, bring their iPads to the classroom and listen to music without earphones, which makes the teacher and other students greatly annoyed. Some of them even waste precious time in class playing video games.‎ In my opinion, as students, we should make good use of iPads to help achieve academic success. The classroom is a place for students to study, and therefore, concentration is greatly needed for us to learn our lessons. Furthermore, the school should make a rule to guide the students to use iPads in a proper way.‎ Yours sincerely,‎ Li Hua
