In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections（注射）so that they won't carry disease. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people's houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal，you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.
People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life.

The American expression “shoo-in” means someone or something that seems sure to win a race or competition.
Before a big football game, supporters of each team are certain to argue about which side will win.
Sometimes, however, one team appears so much stronger than the others that everyone agrees it will win. The stronger team is a shoo- in. There is no way that it can lose.
The expression shoo-in comes from horse racing. It comes from the word “shoo”. That’s not the shoe we wear on our foot. It’s another word, S-H-O-O. “ To shoo” is an expression hundreds of years old that means to urge a person or animal to move in a desired direction.
Many years ago, dishonest riders sometimes agreed secretly to control their horses so that one chosen horse would win the race. All but one of the riders would hold back their horses. The chosen rider would shoo his horse ahead of the others, and win the race.
The other riders would secretly bet large amounts of money that the chosen horse would win.
The public soon learned about such races. They began to call the winner of such a race a “shoo-in”.
These days, people use shoo-in to describe any athlete or competitor that seems certain to win, even without cheating. American runner Edwin Moses won more than one hundred races before he ran the hurdles race in the nineteen- eighty- four Olympic Games. Everyone said Moses was a shoo-in and that he could not lose. And they were right. He won the gold medal.
41. One of the dishonest riders was sure to win the race because ＿＿＿＿＿＿.
the other riders had agreed to fail in the race B. he used to be best at riding
the public had confidence in him D. he could control his horse easily
42. The reason why American runner Edwin Moses was regarded as a “shoo-in” is _________.
A. owing to his honest character
B. due to his great effort shown in more than one hundred races
C. that he won over 100 competitions before the 1984 Olympic Games
D. that the old meaning of “shoo-in” had changed
43. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. “Shoo-in” originated in the word “shoo”.
B. The public did not know they were being cheated.
C. Some riders bet a lot of money on the chosen horse.
D. US runner Moses deserved a shoo-in.
44. The main idea of the passage is that “shoo-in” ＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. is used to admire a person who seems to be sure to win a race
B. is a word used to describe a dishonest person
C. is used for any athlete or competitor that seems too clever to be cheated
D. is used for anyone or anything that is certain of winning a game
45. This passage can best be titled ＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. Be Sure to Win B. Shoo-in, a Sure Winner
C. Winner in a Competition D. The Birth of Shoo-in

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however, anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.
Here is how.
Plan your time carefully.
When planning your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After that, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.
Make good use of your time in class.
Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking class notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly.
When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important point that your teacher has mentioned in class. If you know what teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material. If you do these things regularly, they will be very helpful.
Develop a good attitude about the tests.
The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you to remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be overly worried.
What should you do if you want to remember what the teacher says in class
According to the passage, what is the purpose of a test
When should you go over your notes

My Opinions on True Friends
As is known to all, friends play an important part in our life. In my eyes, a real friend can share the happiness and sorrow with me. When I meet some difficulties, she(he) can help me to go through them and encourage me as well. What’s more, she can always stand by my side. Of course, a real friend doesn’t mean that she always play games with me. She must be the one who can point out my mistakes and help me to correct them if I make some. More importantly, we can trust each other.
A real friend just likes the treasure in our lives. If you are lucky enough to get one, please cherish her, because it is hard for you to get a real friend.
