第一節(jié)：(共15小題;每小題2分，滿分30 分)
A
When Debbie Parkhurst choked on a piece of apple at her Maryland home, her dog jumped in,landing hard on her chest and forcing the piece of apple to pop out of her throat. Debbie Parkhurst’s husband, Kevin, was at his job at a Wilmington, Del.,chemical firm when she took a midday break from jewelry and bit into an apple. When the Keesling family of Indiana were about to be overcome by carbon monoxide(CO), their cat clawed(抓) at wife Cathy’s hair until she woke up and called for help.
For their timely acts, Toby, a golden 2 1/2-year-old dog, and Winnie, a gray-eyed American shorthair, were named Dog and Cat of the Year by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Neither Parkhurst nor Keesling could explain their pets’ timely heroics,though Parkhurst suggested it might have been guided by God intervention(干預(yù)). “That’s what our veterinarian(獸醫(yī)) said,”she said. “He wasn’t making a joke; he’s very spiritual, and now I have to agree with him.”
But both pets were themselves rescued in baby, Toby as a 4-week-old baby thrown into a garbage bin to die, and Winnie as a week-old orphan hiding under a barn, so helpless that Keesling’s husband, Eric, had to feed her milk.
As the Keeslings recalled it, a gas-driven pump spread carbon monoxide through the house. By the time Winnie moved into rescue spot, the couple’s 14-year-old son, Michael, was already unconscious. “Winnie jumped on the bed and was clawing at me, with a kind of angry noise,” Cathy Keesling said. “When I woke up I felt like a T-bar had hit me across the head.”
State police and officers responding to her 911 call said the family was only minutes from death, judging by the amount of poisonous gas in the house.
56. We can know Debbie Parkhurst _________.
A. works in a Wilmington, Del.,chemical firm B. was making jewelry when she had the accident
C. might have died but for her pet’s help D. was unconscious when her pet found her
57. Both pet’s heroic acts most probably connected with _________.
A. God arrangements B. their being once helped
C. their sense of danger D. their veterinarians’ training
58. Why did Winnie try to wake Cathy Keesling up?
A. Because a T-bar was going to hit him. B. Because he was hungry and wanted milk.
C. Because Debbie choked something in her throat.D. Because there was danger in her house.
59. From the passage we can infer that _________.
A. if you love me love my animals B. all pets are useful to people
C. we can’t never be too careful in our daily life D. to help others sometimes can get reward
B
When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(優(yōu)先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.
Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
60. According to Paragraph 1, students _________.
A. regard music as a way of entertainment B. disagree with their parents on education
C. view music as an overlooked subject D. prefer the arts to science
61. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to _________.
A. compare it with rock music B. show music identifies a society
C. introduce American musical traditions D. prove music influences people’s lifestyles
62. According to the passage, the arts and science_________.
A. approach the world from different angles
B. explore different phenomena of the world
C express people’s feelings in different ways
D. explain what it means to be human differently
63. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Music education deserves more attention. B. Music should be of top education priority.
C. Music is an effective communication tool. D. Music education makes students more imaginative.
C
Dogs and millionaires have a lot in common. They are absolute opportunists (especially when it comes to rewards). They defend their territory(地盤). And in general, they don’t like cats. Perhaps that explains a new survey showing that millionaires are far more dog-friendly than the rest of Americans.
According to a study by Spectrem Group, 58% of millionaire pet owners have a dog. Only 37% own a cat. Only 3% keep fish, 2% birds and 2% have a horse. Similarly, 39% of U. S. households own a dog, compared to 33% of households owning a cat, released by the Humane Society.
Jennifer Cona, a trust and estates attorney(信托和資產(chǎn)律師) and partner with Genser Subow Genser & Cona in New York, does a lot of work on pet trusts. She said of all the pet trusts she’s worked on, 90% are for dogs and only 10% are for cats.
She said dogs provide one thing especially important for the wealthy: unconditional love.
“You don’t get that from a cat,” she said, “Dogs are like children for some families, except that they don’t mess up in college or run off with money. Sometimes it’s easy to see why dogs are the favorite children.”
Millionaires show their love for their dogs in part by their spending. One quarter of millionaire pet owners spend more than $1, 000 a year on their pets, the Spectrem study said, while more than half spend more than $500 a year.
Many would say those numbers are understated, given all the diamond-dog collars, dog foods and booming dog spas in evidence these days, not to mention the medical bills.
The survey showed 34% of pet owners spend money on decorating, while 6% spend on “sweaters, outfits and costumes.”
More than half of millionaire pet owners spend money on teeth cleaning for their pets. More than 16%, meanwhile, said they would spend money on reconstructive surgeries and “anti-anxiety, anti-depression” medication for their pets.
64. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Millionaires like dogs more than other Americans.
B. Keeping dogs as pets is quite popular among Americans.
C. Pet dogs help relieve their owners’ anxiety and depression.
D. Millionaires spend much money on teeth cleaning for their pets.
65. From the survey by Spectrem Group, we can learn ___________.
A. about one third of American households own a cat
B. more than half of millionaire pet owners have a dog
C. millionaire pet owners spend $1, 000 on their pets daily
D. 34% of pet owners spend money on dog clothing
66. What’s the main reason why millionaires show great love for their dogs?
A. They can afford the high expense to raise pet dogs.
B. Pet dogs have never made a mess of things around.
C. Millionaires feel more secure in company of dogs.
D. Pet dogs show unconditional love for their owners.
67. What does Jennifer Cona probably think of millionaires owning pet dogs?
A. Ridiculous. B. Acceptable. C. Negative. D. Indifferent.

第二節(jié)：(共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分)
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
Being healthy means taking care of yourself physically and mentally. Here are some of my best tips on how to do both:
Break a bad habit.
You don’t really “break” habits. __71__. So if your problem is that you eat too much when you get home from work, find something new to do that is incompatible(不能共存的)with what you usually do. You can’t walk around the track at the school and pig out in your kitchen at the same time.
Grow your marriage.
__72__. It’s always a give-and-take, always requires work. It’s as if you planted a garden and came back six months later─you wouldn’t even be able to find it. __73__.
Beat stress.
My dog, Maggie, is the best anti-stress tool I have. A few minutes petting, scratching or playing with her, and __74__. Exercise also helps. Just about every day, I’m on the tennis court. It’s a great workout, and if I don’t have that, I don’t cope as well, sleep as well or think as well.
Refocus your anger.
Expressing your anger is just not that good an idea. You say things you don’t mean. __75__. When you do that, you’re a problem solver.
Don’t medicate(摻入藥) with food.
It never, ever works. You’re denying your issue by eating your way through it, instead of saying, “Hey, I’ve got a problem.”
A. You replace the unwanted behavior with something that prevents you from doing it and that doesn’t have unhealthy side effects.
B. I’ll feel easy.
C. If there is a problem, you needn’t deal with it immediately.
D. You have to tend it, feed it, weed it, and deal with the problems.
E. Instead, recognize that anger is usually a symptom of hurt, fear or frustration, and deal with the causes rather than blow up.
F. Relationships are negotiated(協(xié)商), and the negotiation never stops.
G. You do something without any good effect on your health during the time when you usually do something harmful to your body.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Some of us are having problems about our parents, as they often look into our school bags or read our diaries. I fully understand why we are comfortable about it, but it is no need to feel too sad. Our parents are checking in our bags or diaries to make sure we’re not getting into troubles. They have probable heard of some horrible stories about another kids and think we might do the same. Or perhaps they just want to connect with us and are doing it all wrong. My suggestion is: tell them we wanted them to trust us as much as we’d like to trust them. If you don’t think you can talk to them, write them a letter and leave it lie around—they are bound to read it.
Thank you!
