On Friday, June 20th, 29 dogs along with their owners came to Santa Rosa, California. They came there to take part in an unusual competition--- one that seeks out and honors the World's Ugliest Dog. Now in its 26th year, the competition is one of the biggest attractions at the annual Sonoma County Fair.
Among the leading competitors were Cupcake, who was adopted(收养)from a local dog rescue center in January, and Shorty, who would have been put to sleep if its owner, Jason, wasn't kind enough to pick it up. Also competing was 11-year-old veteran Grovie. Described by his owner as short and funny, the Chinese pug is a local resident who has taken part in this contest several times. Then there was the 2002 “World's Ugliest Dog” and “Ring of Champions” winner, Rascal. The 7lbs naturally hairless dog with very few teeth comes from an impressive background. His grandfather, Chi Chi, has held the Guinness World Record for winning the title “World's Ugliest Dog” seven times!
But all these impressively “ugly” dogs had no chance against Peanut. The two-year-old dog was badly burnt in a fire which caused him to lose his lips, most of his body hair and eyelids. Besides winning the title, $ 1,500 in cash and a large trophy (奖杯)the first-time winner also enjoyed an all — expenses — paid trip to New York City where he made scheduled appearances on Today Show and Jimmy Kimmel Show.
The competition is a great way to honor these dogs, many of whom get their unusual look because of human abuse(虐待). But most importantly, it shows the world that ugliness does not prevent dogs from becoming very loving pets.
4. Who could take part in the competition
A. Dog owners having ugly dogs. B. People willing to adopt dogs.
C. Dogs with unusual skills. D. Dogs with ugly look.
5. Why did Jason adopt Shorty
A. Because he didn't want Shorty to be killed.
B. Because Shorty looked so cute and funny.
C. Because he wanted Shorty to take part in the competition.
D. Because no rescue center would like to adopt Shorty.
6. Which dog won the competition this time
A. Rascal. B. Peanut. C. Cupcake. D. Grovie.
7. What's the main purpose of the competition
A. To call on people not to kill ugly dogs. B. To tell people ugly dogs are worth loving.
C. To show the way to deal with ugly dogs. D. To honor unusual dogs and their owners.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在加利福尼亚举办的一个“最丑陋的狗狗”的比赛，进而让人们明白，即使丑陋也并不妨碍狗成为非常可爱的宠物。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“They came there to take part in an unusual competition--- one that seeks out and honors the World's Ugliest Dog. ”（他们来到这里参加一个不寻常的比赛——这个比赛是找出并给予世界上最丑的狗以荣誉）可知，参加这项比赛的参赛者是长得丑陋的狗狗。选项D. “Dogs with ugly look.”（长得丑的狗）与文意相符，故选D。

细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Among the leading competitors were Cupcake, who was adopted(收养)from a local dog rescue center in January, and Shorty, who would have been put to sleep if its owner, Jason, wasn't kind enough to pick it up. ”（领先的竞争对手是Cupcake，它是一月份从当地一家狗狗救助中心领养的，还有Shorty，如果它的主人 Jason 没有好心把它捡起来的话，它早就被杀了）短语：put...to sleep，意为“（人）以人道方法杀死动物”，可知正是因为Jason不想Shorty被杀死，所以才收养了它。选项A.“Because he didn't want Shorty to be killed.”（因为他不想Shorty被杀）与文意相符，故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“But all these impressively “ugly” dogs had no chance against Peanut. ”（但是所有这些令人印象深刻的“丑陋”的狗都没有机会对抗 Peanut。）可知，在所有的参赛的狗狗中，Peanut是最丑的，所以这次是Peanut赢得了这次比赛。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The competition is a great way to honor these dogs, many of whom get their unusual look because of human abuse(虐待). But most importantly, it shows the world that ugliness does not prevent dogs from becoming very loving pets.”（这项比赛是向这些狗致敬的好方法，许多狗因为人类的虐待而有了不同于其他狗的外观，但最重要的是，它向世界表明，丑陋并不妨碍狗成为非常可爱的宠物。）可推知，举办这项赛事的目的是让人们明白，即使丑陋也并不妨碍狗成为非常可爱的宠物。选项B.“To tell people ugly dogs are worth loving. ”（告诉人们丑陋的狗是值得被爱得。）与文意相符，故选B。
C
My 12-year-old son and I ride bikes to and from his school every day. I accompany him on the 20-minute ride through Manhattan, drop him off and return at the end of day to pick him up. We always ride together; sometimes he leads; sometimes I do. And as we ride, we communicate the ways to minimize the dangers: Don’t go too fast, and watch out for doors suddenly swinging out from parked cars and jaywalking pedestrians, etc. Some friends worry about the risk of riding in traffic, but is there a better way to let my son know how to deal with traffic dangers
But recently he requested me to start hanging back a half block or so. This way he could enjoy the feeling of riding on his own, with the security of knowing that I was nearby in case he needed me. This is healthy, of course, as my son needs space to develop independence in preparation for his inevitable departure from home. However, that means soon he will want to ride to school on his own, and I will no longer have this wonderful routine. “Let your children go if you want to keep them.” I understand this and am trying to let my son go in age-appropriate phases, but I still suffer. It’s one of the most troubling experiences of parenthood — recognizing that your presence is becoming less welcome.
My dilemma as a husband mirrors the concern I feel as a parent. My wife has just left on a six-month mission to cover the situation in Libya. In the days leading up to her departure, we spoke openly about the possibility, however unlikely, that she might be killed. But while I influence her decisions, I do not control them. Finally, it was her decision. I know that letting go is the wisest path in this case too. As we travel through life’s phases, we must let go of so much. And I don’t think it gets easier with practice. But maybe just accepting that eventually we will have to let go is the secret to living a full life.
8. The writer keeps his son company on his daily ride to school to________.
A. build up his strength B. teach his son to ride in traffic
C. tell his son the way to school D. communicate more with his son
9. What does the writer’s wife do ________.
A. a soldier B. a politician
C. a media person D. an activist
10. The underlined word “inevitable” in the second paragraph can be replaced by_______
A. unavoidable B. reasonable
C. terrible D. reliable
11. What would be the best title for the passage
A. letting go B. Living a full life
C. Father love is great D. Practice makes perfect
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述儿子骑自行车上学，进而独立的事情，和妻子出差作者的担心告诉我们：生活中我们不要太纠结于某些事情，当我们走到人生的某个阶段，我们必须适度放手。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“We always ride together; sometimes he leads; sometimes I do. And as we ride, we communicate the ways to minimize the dangers: Don’t go too fast, and watch out for doors suddenly swinging out from parked cars and jaywalking pedestrians, etc. Some friends worry about the risk of riding in traffic, but is there a better way to let my son know how to deal with traffic dangers （我们总是一起骑车；有时他骑前面；有时候我骑前面。当我们骑车的时候，我们会交流减少危险的方法：不要开得太快，当心停着的车突然打开的门和乱穿马路的行人等等。一些朋友担心在交通中骑车的风险，但是有没有更好的方法让我的儿子知道如何处理交通危险？）”可知，作者陪着儿子骑车上学是为了教他骑车。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第二句“My wife has just left on a six-month mission to cover the situation in Libya. In the days leading up to her departure, we spoke openly about the possibility , however unlikely, that she might be killed.（我的妻子刚刚离开了一个为期六个月的任务来报道利比亚的情况。在她离开前的几天，我们公开谈论她可能被杀的可能性）”可知，作者的妻子是媒体人。故选C。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线部分所在句子“This is healthy, of course, as my son needs space to develop independence in preparation for his inevitable departure from home. However, that means soon he will want to ride to school on his own, and I will no longer have this wonderful routine.（当然，这是健康的，因为我的儿子需要空间来培养独立性，为他inevitable离家做准备。然而，这意味着他很快就会想自己骑车上学，而我将不再有这种美妙的日常生活）”可知，儿子需要空间来发展独立，并且马上就要自己骑自行车上班。由此可知，他的离家是不可避免的，即划线词为“不可避免的”与unavailable同义。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据本文的主要内容，和最后一段“As we travel through life’s phases, we must let go of so much …But maybe just accepting that eventually we will have to let go is the secret to living a full life（当我们走过人生的阶段时，我们必须放手。但是，也许只是接受最终我们将不得不放手，是一个完整的生活的秘密）”可知，文章通过讲述儿子骑自行车上学，进而独立的事情，和妻子出差作者的担心告诉我们：生活中我们不要太纠结于某些事情，当我们走到人生的某个阶段，我们必须适度放手故选。因此“放手”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选A。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了早起给人们带来的好处。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：从古代起，早起就被认为是一个好的习惯。be considered as 是固定搭配，意为“被认为是”。故填as。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：许多年前，人们认为如果我们早睡早起，我们就会整天精力充沛。分析句子结构，think作谓语，时间状语是many years ago，所以应该用一般过去时。故填thought。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：所以早起对我们是非常重要的。空前of 为介词，所以该空填名词，of importance 相当于形容词important。故填importance。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：当然，我们会发现在早上理解所学东西会更容易。分析句子结构，it为find的形式宾语， 4 （understand） what we learn in the morning. 为真正的宾语，应该用不定式。故填to understand。
【40题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：如果我们早起，做一些晨练或只在早上走一小段路，毫无疑问，我们能强健我们的身体，并变得更加健康。该空前有much，much修饰比较级。故填healthier。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：例如，如果家里的每个人都早起，那么妻子们就会有足够的时间为全家准备早餐。根据句意，作者应该指的是所有的妻子们，所以应该用复数。故填wives。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意：丈夫们将不会忘记换掉他们脏了的衬衣。空后为名词“ dirty shirt”，所以应该用形容词性物主代词，表明“他们的脏衬衣”。故填their。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：让我们记住，早起是一个好习惯，要尽最大努力去保持。分析句子结构可知，get up early 在宾语从句中作主语，应该用动名词形式。故填getting。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：如果我们每天坚持早起，那么我们一定会受益很多。根据句意，这是条件状语从句，故应该用if引导。故填if。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：如果我们每天坚持早起，那么我们一定会受益很多。该空 修饰动词短语benefit a lot ，应该用副词。故填certainly。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Yumi stood at the door of the cabin (小屋).She watched black clouds roll across the sky. "This has been an awful vacation, she said to Mei. “We've been in this cabin all week because of this rain. Then I wanted to go into town with Mom and Dad today, but you got sick."
"I couldn't help it," Mei cried.
Yumi didn't listen to her. “My friend Sue is lucky. She's an only child. She never has to miss out on things because of a little sister," she said.
With an angry click, she turned on the radio. “Word is just in," a man said. “There is a chance of a flash flood in Green Valley. The water in Copper Lake has reached the top of the dam. The dam could give way at any time. People in Green Valley are in danger. They should move to high ground right away. "
“Should we leave ” Mei asked.
“No, Mom and Dad will be home soon. I don't want to leave until they get here, ” Yumi answered.
Yumi was upset. Every past year she loved their vacations in Green Valley. But this year the rain spoiled(毁掉)everything. The sky grew darker. Heavy rain beat against the windows, and thunder shook the cabin. "Yumi, I'm scared," Mei said. “What if the dam breaks ”
“It won't," Yumi said. She hoped Mei believed her. Yumi didn't want Mei to know how scared she was.
The radio stopped in the middle of a song. A man came on the air talking loud and fast. “The Copper Lake Dam has broken. Everyone in Green Valley must move to high ground NOW!”
Yumi's heart raced. "Let's get out of here!” she cried. She took Mei's arm and pulled her outside. They could hear a terrible roar(咆哮)coming from the far end of the valley. Yumi and Mei dashed up the muddy road behind their cabin. The thundering roar grew louder. Yumi looked back. The wall of water was coming faster. It seemed to be swallowing all of Green Valley. In another minute it would hit them.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Yumi saw a large tree just ahead.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In a short time the flood water began to go down.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Yumi saw a large tree just ahead. An idea flashed across her mind. She and Mei were both good at climbing trees. And the large tree was strong enough to stay up in the flood. “Mei, climb it up. I will follow.” Yumi ordered. Without difficulty, they were soon on top of the tree, where they found the ground already covered with rushing waters. And far below the valley their cabins had been swallowed by the currents.
In a short time the flood water began to go down. It was then that Yumi felt cold and hungry. Yumi no longer wanted to be an only child now. Instead of coming down the tree, the two sisters cheered up each other and took turns to shout loud up there for they knew clearly the loud shouts would bring their parents to their side. Incredibly, it worked. When they met, they hugged tightly and shed happy tears. Mom and Dad praised their kids’ wise behavior. They lost their home, but they were alive. After all, to be alive is most important of all.

On Friday, June 20th, 29 dogs along with their owners came to Santa Rosa, California. They came there to take part in an unusual competition--- one that seeks out and honors the World's Ugliest Dog. Now in its 26th year, the competition is one of the biggest attractions at the annual Sonoma County Fair.
Among the leading competitors were Cupcake, who was adopted(收养)from a local dog rescue center in January, and Shorty, who would have been put to sleep if its owner, Jason, wasn't kind enough to pick it up. Also competing was 11-year-old veteran Grovie. Described by his owner as short and funny, the Chinese pug is a local resident who has taken part in this contest several times. Then there was the 2002 “World's Ugliest Dog” and “Ring of Champions” winner, Rascal. The 7lbs naturally hairless dog with very few teeth comes from an impressive background. His grandfather, Chi Chi, has held the Guinness World Record for winning the title “World's Ugliest Dog” seven times!
But all these impressively “ugly” dogs had no chance against Peanut. The two-year-old dog was badly burnt in a fire which caused him to lose his lips, most of his body hair and eyelids. Besides winning the title, $ 1,500 in cash and a large trophy (奖杯)the first-time winner also enjoyed an all — expenses — paid trip to New York City where he made scheduled appearances on Today Show and Jimmy Kimmel Show.
The competition is a great way to honor these dogs, many of whom get their unusual look because of human abuse(虐待). But most importantly, it shows the world that ugliness does not prevent dogs from becoming very loving pets.
4 Who could take part in the competition
A. Dog owners having ugly dogs. B. People willing to adopt dogs.
C. Dogs with unusual skills. D. Dogs with ugly look.
5. Why did Jason adopt Shorty
A. Because he didn't want Shorty to be killed.
B. Because Shorty looked so cute and funny.
C. Because he wanted Shorty to take part in the competition.
D. Because no rescue center would like to adopt Shorty.
6. Which dog won the competition this time
A. Rascal. B. Peanut. C. Cupcake. D. Grovie.
7. What's the main purpose of the competition
A. To call on people not to kill ugly dogs. B. To tell people ugly dogs are worth loving.
C. To show the way to deal with ugly dogs. D. To honor unusual dogs and their owners.
C
My 12-year-old son and I ride bikes to and from his school every day. I accompany him on the 20-minute ride through Manhattan, drop him off and return at the end of day to pick him up. We always ride together; sometimes he leads; sometimes I do. And as we ride, we communicate the ways to minimize the dangers: Don’t go too fast, and watch out for doors suddenly swinging out from parked cars and jaywalking pedestrians, etc. Some friends worry about the risk of riding in traffic, but is there a better way to let my son know how to deal with traffic dangers
But recently he requested me to start hanging back a half block or so. This way he could enjoy the feeling of riding on his own, with the security of knowing that I was nearby in case he needed me. This is healthy, of course, as my son needs space to develop independence in preparation for his inevitable departure from home. However, that means soon he will want to ride to school on his own, and I will no longer have this wonderful routine. “Let your children go if you want to keep them.” I understand this and am trying to let my son go in age-appropriate phases, but I still suffer. It’s one of the most troubling experiences of parenthood — recognizing that your presence is becoming less welcome.
My dilemma as a husband mirrors the concern I feel as a parent. My wife has just left on a six-month mission to cover the situation in Libya. In the days leading up to her departure, we spoke openly about the possibility, however unlikely, that she might be killed. But while I influence her decisions, I do not control them. Finally, it was her decision. I know that letting go is the wisest path in this case too. As we travel through life’s phases, we must let go of so much. And I don’t think it gets easier with practice. But maybe just accepting that eventually we will have to let go is the secret to living a full life.
8. The writer keeps his son company on his daily ride to school to________.
A. build up his strength B. teach his son to ride in traffic
C. tell his son the way to school D. communicate more with his son
9. What does the writer’s wife do ________.
A. a soldier B. a politician
C. a media person D. an activist
10. The underlined word “inevitable” in the second paragraph can be replaced by_______
A. unavoidable B. reasonable
C. terrible D. reliable
11. What would be the best title for the passage
A. letting go B. Living a full life
C. Father love is great D. Practice makes perfect
D

What does that mean for the world of technology E-waste is one of the planet's biggest contributing waste problems.
Not only e-waste, but the materials that go into tech products are part of the problem.

Many communities are making an effort to deal with e-waste as well. Cities schools, or churches will sometimes hold events to collect e-waste and send it to recycling centers. Some companies even offer buy-back programs where people will be given cash if they turn in old devices.
So the next time you want to deal with your e-waste, whether a smartphone, a laptop, an MP4 player or other, consider the more environmentally-friendly choices. It is possible to be sustainable with your tech after all.
12. What is the main purpose of paragraph 1
A. To explain what is sustainability.
B. To introduce the topic of the text. .
C. To give us an example of sustainability.
D. To show different topics of sustainability.

B. E-waste can't be dealt with in the end.
C. People act in a more sustainable way than before.
D. People would choose second-hand products in the past.
14. Which of the following can be e-waste EXCEPT

C. laptops D. smartphones
15. Which word best describes the author's attitude to sustainability
A. Doubtful. B. Unclear,

Yumi stood at the door of the cabin (小屋).She watched black clouds roll across the sky. "This has been an awful vacation, she said to Mei. “We've been in this cabin all week because of this rain. Then I wanted to go into town with Mom and Dad today, but you got sick."
"I couldn't help it," Mei cried.
Yumi didn't listen to her. “My friend Sue is lucky. She's an only child. She never has to miss out on things because of a little sister," she said.
With an angry click, she turned on the radio. “Word is just in," a man said. “There is a chance of a flash flood in Green Valley. The water in Copper Lake has reached the top of the dam. The dam could give way at any time. People in Green Valley are in danger. They should move to high ground right away. "
“Should we leave ” Mei asked.
“No, Mom and Dad will be home soon. I don't want to leave until they get here, ” Yumi answered.
Yumi was upset. Every past year she loved their vacations in Green Valley. But this year the rain spoiled(毁掉)everything. The sky grew darker. Heavy rain beat against the windows, and thunder shook the cabin. "Yumi, I'm scared," Mei said. “What if the dam breaks ”
“It won't," Yumi said. She hoped Mei believed her. Yumi didn't want Mei to know how scared she was.
The radio stopped in the middle of a song. A man came on the air talking loud and fast. “The Copper Lake Dam has broken. Everyone in Green Valley must move to high ground NOW!”
Yumi's heart raced. "Let's get out of here!” she cried. She took Mei's arm and pulled her outside. They could hear a terrible roar(咆哮)coming from the far end of the valley. Yumi and Mei dashed up the muddy road behind their cabin. The thundering roar grew louder. Yumi looked back. The wall of water was coming faster. It seemed to be swallowing all of Green Valley. In another minute it would hit them.
