三、完形填空
We went for a walk in the fields, my mother, my wife, my son and I.
Mother had been 1 to come out with us, for she was in poor health, and even a(n) 2 distance would make her feel tired. But I insisted that, just for this reason, walking was necessary. Nodding her agreement, she went to fetch her overcoat.
This year, spring came too late. Some old people found it hard to endure the long cold. But 3 spring was here now, and my mother had 4 another hard winter.
My mother and I walked in front, followed by my wife and son. Later, 5 appeared between us: my mother wanted to take the main road, for it was wide and 6 , while my son preferred the little path, where there might be more interesting things. It was 7 me to make the final decision. My mother had got used to listening to her strong son, and my son was in the habit of 8 his father, a big figure(形象) in his mind. I suddenly felt the weight of a heavy responsibility. I tried to 9 a win-win choice, but failed. Finally, I decided 10 my son, because there would be long years ahead in which I could be with him.
But my mother changed her 11 , and said, “We’d better take the little path. You’ll have to 12 me on your back in places I can’t walk across.”
Differences thus settled(解决); we picked our way along the little path. When we came to a certain spot, I let my mother get on my back. My wife followed my 13 and carried our son. Tall as my mother was, she was quite 14 , and not heavy at all. My son was fat, but a child could only be so heavy. Despite this, both my wife and I walked 15 , as steadily( 稳定地 ) as possible, as if we bore the whole world on our backs.

四、阅读理解
A
When most dog owners use certain words like “sit”, “stay” or “treat”, they are sure that their dogs know exactly what they mean. However, researchers wonder whether dogs really understand human speech or depend on other information. For example, does the word “take” form a picture of a stick or ball in the dog’s mind, or does the dog bring back the object based on the owner’s voice or gesture A new study seems to show that “man’s best friend” does indeed know what the owner is saying.
The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve different dogs to train their pets to pick out two different toys such as a toy animal and a ball. Once the dogs took turns inside a special scanner(扫描仪). While holding up objects the dogs hadn’t seen before, first the owners tested their dog’s language skill by calling out the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize, and then they tested by saying meaningless words such as “bobbu” and “bodmick”.
Something interesting was that the dog’s brains showed a higher level of neural(神经的)activity at the sound of unknown words. This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains, which get more active at the sound of familiar words.The researchers say the dogs may become cheerful at the sound of new words. They try to understand the new words in the hope of delighting their owners. “Dogs want to please their owners praise or food,” says a senior author of the study.
However, though your pet may understand human speech, the scientists recommend using visual signals and smell for training. “When people want to teach their dog a trick, they often use spoken command because that's what humans prefer,” Prichard says. “From the dog’s visual however, a visual command might be more effective, helping the dog learn the trick faster.”
( )1. What’s the purpose of the new study
A. To punish dog owners who treat their dogs badly.
B. To advise dog owners to treat their dogs kindly
C. To prove dogs follow owners’ order by listening.
D. To test out how dogs get information from owners.
( )2. What does the writer mean to do in Paragraph 2
A. Announce the result of the research.
B. Present the process of the research.
C. Stress the importance of the research.
D. Introduce the subjects of the research.
( )3. According to the passage, what’s the difference between human brains and dog brains
A. Human brains become active in unfamiliar words.
B. Dog brains become delighted at unfamiliar words.
C. Human brains are not sensitive to familiar words.
D. Dog brains show no sense to familiar words.
( )4. What do scientists advise the owners to do in dog training
A. Give dogs spoken orders. B. Teach dogs new tricks.
C. Include sight and smell. D. Encourage faster learning.

The Garbage (垃圾) Project started at the University of Arizona in 1973. Since then, the students and teachers in it have studied the modern garbage in different cities.
To study the garbage, the students had to travel to landfills (填埋场) , the places where cities bury (填埋) their garbage. While the students were studying the garbage they wore special clothes. Students were very careful when they opened bags of garbage.
One important thing the students have learned from studying the garbage is that the garbage in landfills disappears very slowly. That was surprising to both the students and many scientists who had thought that about 70 % of the garbage in landfills would disappear quickly. Even in cities where it rains a lot, the students found newspapers from 1948, 40-year-old hot dogs, and vegetables from 1970. And the students also found many more empty bottles of cola than they expected.
How to dispose of our garbage well depends on what kind of garbage it is: regular(普通的) garbage, dangerous materials, or recyclable materials, such as newspapers and glass bottles. Regular garbage goes to regular landfills. Dangerous materials are harmful to people's health and the environment. They shouldn't go into regular landfills.
Homes are full of dangerous waste. One kind of the dangerous waste in homes is batteries. When batteries are buried directly(直接地)in a landfill, they often break open. The poison inside them moves through rain water to the bottom of the landfill. Then it can pollute the natural water in the ground.
Another dangerous waste from homes is motor oil. When people pour old motor oil on the ground or throw it in the garbage, it pollutes the environment.
Our garbage problem is not new, but as the world's population continues to grow, it will become a bigger and bigger problem.
( )5.The underlined words "dispose of" in Paragraph 4 means ___________.
A. crash into B. deal with C. worry about D. put up
( )6. After reading the article, which do you think is the best way to do with waste batteries
A. They should go to regular landfills B. We should throw them into water
C. We should burn them D. They should be collected and recycled.
( )7.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Batteries often break open when they are buried directly in a landfill.
B. Scientists thought about 70 % of the garbage in landfills would disappear slowly.
C. The students found empty bottles of cola were not as many as they expected.
D. There are only two kinds of dangerous waste in homes.

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One time in the middle of the night, an old lady in her 80s took my taxi. She gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown "
"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
"Oh, I don't mind," she said. "I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long."
I quietly shut off the meter. "What route would you like me to take " I asked. For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived, the place where she danced as a girl. As the sun was rising, she asked me to go to the address she had given me.
"How much do I owe you " she asked, reaching into her purse.
"Nothing," I said.
"You have to make a living," she answered.
"There are other passengers."
“You gave an old woman a little moment of joy," she said. "Thank you."
I drove into the fine morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. I drove aimlessly(漫无目的地),lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift What if I had refused to take the run
( )8. What did the woman want to do that night
A. She wanted to take a taxi.
B. She wanted to see her husband.
C. She wanted to go through the city.
D. She wanted to talk with the driver.
( )9. The underlined word "meter" means_______.
A. 米尺 B. 曝光计 C. 计算器 D. 里程表
( )10. How did the old woman feel in the end, according to the story
A. She was very angry. B. She was very thankful.
C. She was very upset. D. She was not satisfied.

Why Live Near the River
Imagine pioneers traveling west in the 1800s. In those days, it was hard to find running water and shops where to buy things. As time went by, most pioneers had to make their homes near a river so that they could get water easily.
How did rivers help people live in the past
Back in the pioneer days, people grew their own food, caught their own fish, and collected their own water. 1 People also used rivers as roads, traveling on boats. Traders shipped goods (货物) to people from other areas.
2
When building many factories right next to rivers for the water's power to make machines work,some people choose to live near a river for working. They use the river to ship large goods, and some of them work at these factories where power factories provide electricity to homes and.businesses. 3
Who wouldn’t want to live near a river
Some people are nervous about living near rivers because rivers can cause floods (洪水). Every once in a while, floodwaters rise higher than a house, ruining (泡坏) many things in the house. 4 Such waste causes water to smell bad and pollutes the crops (庄稼) we eat. Water and
crops in polluted areas can make people very sick.
How do people decide where to live
5 . Rivers can provide jobs and fun activities in a beautiful place. However, those living
by rivers should be willing to accept possible problems as well.
A. Why do people live near rivers now
B. People should think over the possible risks before deciding where to live.
C. Some factories put their waste into rivers.
D. Staying close to a river was easy to get water for living.
E. Some factories stop waste water from running into rives.
F. People who carry goods onto ships live near the river, too.

六、阅读表达(10分)根据短文内容,回答下列问题。(答语不超过7个字)
Sixteen is a special age in the United States. There’s often a special celebration for a girl’s 16th birthday---a big party called Sweet-16. It is like a wedding party in the number of guests and gifts handed out.
About a month before the party, the girl’s family sends out invitations to the guests. They must buy a special present for the birthday girl and the girl guests find good dresses to wear. A sweet-16 present usually costs $40 to $60. This is about $20 more than the usual-cost of a birthday present.
The party itself is not held at someone’s house. The hostess rents(租赁) a reception hall for the event. Food, cake and a DJ are provided. Around 6 o’clock, guests arrive and meet the birthday girl. Then the girl and her father have a special father-daughter dance. After that, guests dance for about 30 to 45 minutes.
Then there is the most important part of the Sweet-16 party, the candle-lighting ceremony. The sweet-16 hostess stands behind 16 unlit(未点燃的) candles and dedicates(献给) each candle to her friends, family, and anything that she feels is important to her. A lot of crying and hugging goes on at this time.
Afterwards, people sit and eat. Most guests begin leaving around 11 o’clock.
This school year, I have been to two Sweet-16s. I am one of the youngest students in my grade (My birthday is in December). I’ll have to wait another year before I can have my own special Sweet-16 party. I can’t wait for it!
