A sense of humour is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo, 64-year-old twin brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2002. On Christmas Eve, 1992, Anthony had a heart transplant from a 21-year-old donor. Two days before Valentine’s Day in 2002, Alfred received a 19-year-old heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants.
＂I’m 15 minutes older than him, but now I’m younger because of my heart and I’m not going to respect him,＂Alfred said with a grin, pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters, who laughed frequently at their jokes.
While the twins knew that genetics might have played a role in their condition, they recognized that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems.＂We’d put half a pound of butter on a steak. I overdid it on all the food that tasted good, so I guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly.＂
The discussion moved to Anthony’s recovery. In the five years since his heart transplant, he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles, swam each day, and walked a couple of miles. He was still on medication, but not nearly as much as Alfred, who was just in the early stage of his recovery.21教育名师原创作品
＂Right now I feel pretty young and I’m doing very well, ＂Anthony said. ＂I feel like a new person.＂
Alfred said his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother. But, he added, ＂I love my brother very much. We’re very close and I’m sure we’ll do just fine.＂
1. This article is mainly about ____________.
A. the danger of heart transplant surgery
B. becoming young by getting a new heart
C. the effect of genetics on the heart
D. the twin brothers who received heart transplants21cnjy.com
2. What did Alfred and Anthony have in common?
A. Lifespan. B. Career goals.
C. A sense of humour. D. Love for bicycling.
3. What did Alfred and Anthony think also caused their heart problems?【出处：21教育名师】
A. Exercise. B. Diet. C. Surgery. D. Medicines.【版权所有：21教育】
4. Why did Alfred say, ＂I’m 15 minutes older than him, but now I’m younger because of my heart...＂?
A. His heart transplant surgery was more successful than Anthony’s.
B. His recovery from the heart surgery was faster than Anthony’s.
C. His exercise program was better than Anthony’s.
D. His new heart was younger than Anthony’s.

A little girl named Sara had a pet named Roise. And as all little girls, Sara loved her pet. When she got out of school, she would run home as fast as she could, put a leash on Roise and walk her up and down the streets. Then she would invite her friends over and they would dress Roise up in doll clothes and sit her down and have a tea party. Roise was truly loved.
One day Sara found out that Roise was pregnant and she was so excited to have more babies to love and care for. Two neighborhood boys also found out that Roise was pregnant and they decided to steal Roise and make some money by selling her babies. So they did so and put her in a cage in their basement. No longer did Roise go for walks, no more tea parties, and no little girls to dote(溺爱)on her.
The moneymaking business was going really well for the boys and they decided to keep her and all the females pregnant. The basement turned into a room full of caged animals.
About a year later, Sara was walking past this house and she heard a lot of noise coming from the back, so she walked quietly to the back of the house, bent down and looked through the basement window. What she saw shocked her. In this room were animals packed tightly in cages wall to wall. In each cage were animals, crying, screaming, and some too sick to move. They lay there in piles of waste. As she took a deep breath, she noticed the unpleasant smell coming from the closed window of waste, of the dead and of the dying. And as she scanned the room, she noticed the two boys coming in the side door wearing masks. As they walked past some animals on the floor, they kicked them as though they were garbage.
How many of you are thinking that Roise was a dog? Well, Roise was a pig. For some animals we call food. This is not a made-up story. This is reality. Billions of food animals are confined, never to see the light of day. We eat some animals, yet to others we call them pets. Roise was both.21·世纪*教育网

4. D 【解析】句意理解题。由文章第一段可知，Afred于2002年移植了一颗更年轻的（19岁的）心脏，因此可以得此答案。
B
5. C 【解析】细节理解题。第一段主要讲述了Sara是怎样对待Roise的：带出去遛，用玩具娃娃衣服打扮，带着Roise喝茶等。Sara是将Roise作为宠物来对待的。再根据文章第一句话＂A little girl named Sara had a pet named Roise.＂可知答案为C项。
6. D 【解析】细节理解题。从第二段第二句话＂Two neighborhood boys also found out that Roise was pregnant and they decided to steal Roise and make some money by selling her babies.＂可知，答案应为D项。www-2-1-cnjy-com

2. D until意为＂直到……＂，是四个选项中唯一符合文意的连词。
3. B 从他一出场(appearance)他们就会知道发生什么事情。
4. C 卓别林的形象众所周知，他个子小却穿着一双大鞋；另外，后文有feet一词暗示。故选shoes。

10. D 由前面＂He is always in trouble.＂这一信息和＂but he never...＂可知应选D项，即但他从不放弃。
11. A people之前有even一词着重强调，所以这里指的是那些不懂英语的人。
12. C see a film＂看电影＂，但此处表示＂不懂英语的人也能欣赏他的电影＂。enjoy有＂欣赏＂之意。
13. B 卓别林早期所演的电影是无声电影。
14. D 这一句与后两句道出了卓别林喜剧的特色：不依赖语言，而是以细微的动作(little actions)取胜。

IV. 语法填空
【解题导语】本文通过一个故事告诉我们这样一个道理：幸运往往会降临在诚实的人身上。
1. lived　考查倒装句及动词的时态。这里表地点的短语在前，故主句应完全倒装。句子中的Once表明要用一般过去时，因此用lived。
2. an　考查冠词。根据语境可知，此处表示＂一个诚实的人＂，表泛指。honest的发音以元音音素开头，故应用不定冠词an。【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
3. whoever　考查主语从句。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，空处引导主语从句在主语从句中作主语，且表示＂无论是谁＂，故填whoever。
4. to get　考查固定搭配。can’t wait to do sth.＂迫不及待地要做某事＂，符合语境。
5. to show　考查目的状语。根据语境可知，此处表示＂去宫殿向国王展示……＂，所以用动词不定式，在此表目的。
