Bob Vetere, president of the American Pet Product Manufacturers Association, said the 26 in spending started in the mid- ’90s and has continued. "Certainly post 9/11, the world is a 27 place for some people. People are looking for 28 , and that's something that a pet provides," Vetere said.

答案：
过去猫和狗不被当成宠物看待，主人经常把它们养在后园中，给它们吃剩下来的饭菜。而近十年来，人们对待它们的态度变了，它们不仅得到了主人的细心照料，并且已经成了一个新的经济焦点，众多的商家都使尽浑身解数来满足宠物和他们的主人的要求。这一现象其实是有一定的社会原因的，一方面，9.11后，很多人认为这个世界令人恐惧，而他们能够从宠物身上得到安慰，而另一方面，当年婴儿潮时期出生的孩子现在已经成了白发苍苍的老人，他们的孩子远离家里，所以在一定程度上，这些老人饲养宠物可以减轻儿女不在身旁的孤独感。
21. B。 结合选项以及所搭配的名词和文章的内容可推出：过去猫和狗不被当成宠物看待，主人经常把它们养在后园中，给它们吃剩下来的饭菜。而近十年来，人们对待它们的态度变了，相当一部分主人和这些宠物睡在一起。
22. D。 根据此句后面的tries to 23 not only the basic needs of animals but also the needs of pet owners可知，由于宠物的地位提高了，所以相应地产生了许多为宠物服务的工厂。对这些商业企业来说宠物就是他们经营的焦点，要想方设法满足宠物的基本需要和宠物主人的需要。
23. A。 既然产生了一个庞大的商业，那么这些工厂肯定要为满足宠物的基本需要和宠物主人的需要而服务。meet one’s need满足某人的需要(求)。
24. C。 现在百分之六十三的美国家庭有宠物。一点也不稀奇的是，猫和狗是人们最喜爱的宠物。
25. A。 文章第一段提到的数据：Today, 63 percent of cat owners and 42 percent of dog owners…可知，在各种宠物中，猫和狗最受人们喜爱，人们饲养得也最多。
26. B。 从前面可知，在过去的十年中，宠物的地位比以往高了，那么，在它们身上的开销也大了。从后面的关键词started in the mid-’90s可知道，在90年代中期用在宠物身上的开销开始增长。
27. D。 根据常识判断，美国9. 11之后，有些人认为世界是不安全的。scarier意为“更易受惊的”。
28. C。 结合选项以及前文可知，人们缺乏安全感（但是又无法逃离这个世界），所以他们试图寻找安慰，而宠物正好能够满足一些人的精神需要。宠物能够给人带来安慰，不能带来转折(turning)，也不能带来逃避(escape)和希望(hope)。
29. C。 上面谈到的是宠物受欢迎的一种原因，下面要谈的是另一个原因，所以C项正确。
30. D。 由于子女都去上大学了，家中的父母感到孤独。过去我们是溺爱子女的家长，现在我们成了溺爱宠物的主人。

People in the United States honor their parents with 2 special days: Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May and Father's Day on the 3rd Sunday in June. These days are to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help with child-care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It's also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery, on these days families get together at home as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are more valued than those bought in stores. It's not the value of the gift that is important, but "the thought that counts ". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays.

假定你是Rose以前的班主任Lin Lin，你昨天收到Rose的来信。信中Rose向你介绍了她目前的学习情况。她在今年的高考中失利，现在又到另一所学校重读一年，但她学习时精神不能集中，总是感到很累；因为是插班生，她和其他同学没有什么交流，因此感到很孤独。
请你根据她信中的内容写一封回信，对她进行安慰与鼓励，并提出你的建议。
[写作要求]
1．必须使用5个句子介绍全部所给的内容。
2．将5个句子组织成连贯的一篇短文。
3．使用必要的连接词。

Dear Rose，

Lin Lin
答案:
Dear Rose,
I'm happy to hear from you and know that you set your new goal and have begun your study in another school.
It is natural that you feel lonely in your new class as you did in your old one, but I'm sure you'll get along well with the other classmates in your new class if you find chances to make friends with them, in which way you'll find them just as understanding as your old ones.
The reason why you feel too tired and can't concentrate yourself may be that you don't organize your time well enough and can't get enough sleep. Don't work too late or too hard and you are likely to get less tired. Try to be more confident and you'll succeed.
Wish you every success.
Your teacher,
Lin Lin

Pets are the 22 of a huge commercial industry that tries to 23 not only the basic needs of animals but also the needs of pet owners.
Sixty-three percent of American homes have a pet. Not 24 . cats and dogs are the most 25 pet choices.
Bob Vetere, president of the American Pet Product Manufacturers Association, said the 26 in spending started in the mid- ’90s and has continued. "Certainly post 9/11, the world is a 27 place for some people. People are looking for 28 , and that's something that a pet provides," Vetere said.
Another 29 is the Baby Boomer demographic (生育高峰的人口). Vetere points out that "a lot of Baby Boomers have sent their kids off to college; we were once doting (溺爱的) 30 , and now we're becoming doting pet owners'.

答案：
过去猫和狗不被当成宠物看待，主人经常把它们养在后园中，给它们吃剩下来的饭菜。而近十年来，人们对待它们的态度变了，它们不仅得到了主人的细心照料，并且已经成了一个新的经济焦点，众多的商家都使尽浑身解数来满足宠物和他们的主人的要求。这一现象其实是有一定的社会原因的，一方面，9.11后，很多人认为这个世界令人恐惧，而他们能够从宠物身上得到安慰，而另一方面，当年婴儿潮时期出生的孩子现在已经成了白发苍苍的老人，他们的孩子远离家里，所以在一定程度上，这些老人饲养宠物可以减轻儿女不在身旁的孤独感。
21. B。 结合选项以及所搭配的名词和文章的内容可推出：过去猫和狗不被当成宠物看待，主人经常把它们养在后园中，给它们吃剩下来的饭菜。而近十年来，人们对待它们的态度变了，相当一部分主人和这些宠物睡在一起。
22. D。 根据此句后面的tries to 23 not only the basic needs of animals but also the needs of pet owners可知，由于宠物的地位提高了，所以相应地产生了许多为宠物服务的工厂。对这些商业企业来说宠物就是他们经营的焦点，要想方设法满足宠物的基本需要和宠物主人的需要。
23. A。 既然产生了一个庞大的商业，那么这些工厂肯定要为满足宠物的基本需要和宠物主人的需要而服务。meet one’s need满足某人的需要(求)。
24. C。 现在百分之六十三的美国家庭有宠物。一点也不稀奇的是，猫和狗是人们最喜爱的宠物。
25. A。 文章第一段提到的数据：Today, 63 percent of cat owners and 42 percent of dog owners…可知，在各种宠物中，猫和狗最受人们喜爱，人们饲养得也最多。
26. B。 从前面可知，在过去的十年中，宠物的地位比以往高了，那么，在它们身上的开销也大了。从后面的关键词started in the mid-’90s可知道，在90年代中期用在宠物身上的开销开始增长。
27. D。 根据常识判断，美国9. 11之后，有些人认为世界是不安全的。scarier意为“更易受惊的”。
28. C。 结合选项以及前文可知，人们缺乏安全感（但是又无法逃离这个世界），所以他们试图寻找安慰，而宠物正好能够满足一些人的精神需要。宠物能够给人带来安慰，不能带来转折(turning)，也不能带来逃避(escape)和希望(hope)。
29. C。 上面谈到的是宠物受欢迎的一种原因，下面要谈的是另一个原因，所以C项正确。
30. D。 由于子女都去上大学了，家中的父母感到孤独。过去我们是溺爱子女的家长，现在我们成了溺爱宠物的主人。

People in the United States honor their parents with 2 special days: Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May and Father's Day on the 3rd Sunday in June. These days are to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help with child-care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It's also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery, on these days families get together at home as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are more valued than those bought in stores. It's not the value of the gift that is important, but "the thought that counts ". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays.

A. Parents bring up children.

A. people usually have family parties

C. They offer enough room for having family parties.
D. They sell special clothes for Mother's Day and Father's Day.
答案：

42．答案是B．由第一段“More mothers now work outside．．．”可知。
43．答案是C. carnation即是“康乃馨”。
44．答案是A. .此题是细节题，由第二段“On these days families．．．”可得知。
45．答案是A. florists“花商”，由全文最后一句并列名词及上文可推测该词义。

假定你是Rose以前的班主任Lin Lin，你昨天收到Rose的来信。信中Rose向你介绍了她目前的学习情况。她在今年的高考中失利，现在又到另一所学校重读一年，但她学习时精神不能集中，总是感到很累；因为是插班生，她和其他同学没有什么交流，因此感到很孤独。
请你根据她信中的内容写一封回信，对她进行安慰与鼓励，并提出你的建议。
[写作要求]
1．必须使用5个句子介绍全部所给的内容。
2．将5个句子组织成连贯的一篇短文。

Wish you every Success．

Lin Lin
答案:
Dear Rose,
I'm happy to hear from you and know that you set your new goal and have begun your study in another school.
It is natural that you feel lonely in your new class as you did in your old one, but I'm sure you'll get along well with the other classmates in your new class if you find chances to make friends with them, in which way you'll find them just as understanding as your old ones.
The reason why you feel too tired and can't concentrate yourself may be that you don't organize your time well enough and can't get enough sleep. Don't work too late or too hard and you are likely to get less tired. Try to be more confident and you'll succeed.
Wish you every success.
Your teacher,
Lin Lin
