最佳选项，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。
For most dog owners, walking their dog is usually an enjoyable activity. But
sometimes, it can be dangerous because some unleashed dogs may attack people. So
the government in some cities make a rule to solve the problem. The rule is that the
dog owners can’t walk their dogs during the daytime. What do you think of it?
Not all people like dogs. For example, when I see dogs, I feel pretty scared. The
early morning and late night are better times to walk your dog, because there are
fewer people outside. This way, people who like dogs and people who don’t like them
can have their own time.
Pros（正方）
It’s a good rule. It makes people feel safer. Dogs sometimes bite people or bark
loudly. These are big problems. I think it’s scary. To stop things like this, these kinds
of rules are important. The rule will also allow dog owners to get up early and spend
more time with their dogs.
【考点】阅读匹配题 【难度星级】★★
【答案】BAFEC
【解析】31. 由“firecrackers”鞭炮 和“big meal”聚餐可知是春节，故选B；
32. 由“two boats are racing”两支龙舟在比赛，可知是龙舟节，选A；
33. 由“eating mooncakes”吃月饼可知是中秋节，选F；
34. 由“putting flowers around the graves”在坟墓周围放鲜花可知是清明节，选E；
35. 由于“eating sweet dumplings”吃汤圆可知是元宵节。故选C。
5
All lives have the same rights. Dogs have the right to enjoy their own free time.
It’s unfair that people can go outside while animals cannot. People shouldn’t make
dogs to follow the rules. It also brings problems to dogs owners because they have to
get up early to walk their dogs. It may influence their work and life.
Cons（反方）
This rule will be too hard to follow. It’s impossible for the government to make
sure that people don’t walk their dogs at the wrong time. This would be a waste of
time and money. Secondly, dog attacks do not happen very often. It’s not fair to stop
everyone from walking their dogs during the daytime.
36. Which of the following reasons is NOT from the pros?
A. The fact that dogs bite people makes people scary.
B. The early morning and late night are better times to walk your dog.
C. It is not a big problem for dogs to bark loudly.
37. What does the underlined word “influence”mean?
A.鼓励 B.影响 C.接触
38.According to the cons,why don’t some people want to follow the rules?
A. Because they think dog attacks do not happen very often.

C. Because they don’t want to walk their dogs during the daytime.
39.Which of the following is TRUE according to their words?
A. Dogs should only stay at home.
B. Dogs should have the right to go outside.
C. Dogs should get up and go out early.
40.What conclusion can we draw from their opinions?
A.We can’t keep pets at home.
B.We can do anything we want to do.
6
C.We must think about others’ feelings.

【解析】细节题。正方说的第二段话里 Dogs sometimes bite people or bark loudly. These are
big problems. C 项与之不符，故选 C.

【解析】猜词题。结合原文所述，早起遛狗会影响狗主人的工作和生活的。
38【答案】A
【解析】细节题。A 项所述出现在反方陈述的第二段话中，B、C 均未提到。

We did a survey about different kinds of transportation in Taiyuan last week.
We asked students about their favorite kinds of transportation. Here are some of the
results. We can get some information from the data(数据) and know how middle
school students get to school. Some students come to school by bike. Bikes are cheap
and convenient. Some students like cars because they are safer than bikes. Cars are
also faster than bikes and buses. Among some students, buses are not popular,because
they often have more passengers (旅客) . Buses are also dirtier and more crowded(拥
挤) However. not many people can afford(买得起) a car. Car pooling (拼车) is also
a kind of way to school.
Ways of transportation in Taiyuan
In the US car pools are a very common(普遍的) way for many students to
get to school. “BEEP,beep,” goes the car horn(喇叭). You run out of your home with
your schoolbag, and jump into the waiting car. In the car, your friends say “hey”. This
9
is the daily car pool to school. Usually, four friends share a car. Parents may take
turns to drive you all to school.
What do friends do in the car? If you didn’t have time for breakfast at home,
you can eat in the car. If you don’t finish your homework, this is your last chance to
finish it before class.Some students just sleep a little more before classes begin.
If you can’t take the school bus, car pooling is a green way of transportation
(交通). Parents don’t need to drive four cars to take four students to school each day,
they can all get into one.
More importantly, car pooling teaches students important life lessons such
as the responsibility (责任) of being on time. If you’re late, then all of your friends
will be late too.
Questions:
46.From the chart(图表), what kind of transportation do students like most?
47.Who drives the students to school in the US?
48.In the passage, the underlined(划线的) word “it” refers to(指)_______
