Ive found out what they want and given it to them.When you get a new puppy, like a small
17、 baby, its personality is already somewhat established. It may be a “ screamer” or a “cuddler (搂抱型)”or a quiet dog or an energetic dog. All puppies need sleep in massive (大量的) quantities. An energetic puppy will run around and suddenly fall down sound asleep. A quieter puppy will start to show signs
18、 of tiredness, then find a place to fall asleep. A “ screamer” will scream for attention: Puppy cries and yelps (狗吠)， while a quiet puppy will usually give up and accept being put in a box. A “cuddler” will need your body, either your lap or next to you, to sleep soundly.Puppy language is very simpl
19、e. It is like a babys cries. They cry when they are in need or in pain; in need of company, in need of food, in need of sleep, etc.As your dog grows, you should learn what they are saying to you, as they learn to take their cues(暗示) from you. If you rub(揉) your puppys stomach, and he likes it, he wi
20、ll learn to roll over and “ask” you for a stomach rub. Almost all dogs will “ask” to go out. In some cases, this consists of standing or jumping at a door. If you ignore this request, your dog will make it again, more firmly.36The underlined word “puppy” in Paragraph 2 most probably means a(n)_.Asma
21、ll baby Byoung dog Cold dog Dbig child37Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AAn energetic puppy is one that runs around and suddenly fall down sound asleep.BA quiet puppy is one that shows signs of tiredness, then finds a place to fall asleep.CA “screamer” is a puppy that cri

Get off my turf.COh, boy, let me go out. DOh, boy, Im so excited.39The author writes the passage in order to tell us _.Ahis experience of rais
23、ing dogsBhow he likes to raise dogsCsomething about a dogs language and personalityDdogs are very cleverBA year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, an
24、d the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift$7,000, a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch who died in an accident. “It really made a differen
25、ce when we were going under financially，” says Dave.But the Fusses werent the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive the unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in oth
26、ers, it was more than $ 100,000.It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $ 3 millionthey were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They
27、liked comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldnt afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything，” says their friend
28、 Sandy Van Weelden. “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches wish that their legacya legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and centsshould enrich the whole
29、community and last for generations to come.Neighbors helping neighborsthat was Ish and Arlene Hatchs story.40According to the text, the Fusses _.Awere employed by a truck companyBwere in financial difficultyCworked in a school cafeteriaDlost their home41Which of the following is true of the Hatches?
30、AThey had their children during the Great Depression.BThey left the family farm to live in an old house.CThey gave away their possessions to their neighbors.DThey helped their neighbors to find jobs.42Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store?AThey decided to open a store.BThey wanted t
31、o save money.CThey couldnt afford expensive things.DThey wanted to buy gifts for local kids.43What can we learn from the text?AThe community of Alto was poor.BThe summer camp was attractive to the parents.CSandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches.DThe Hatches would like the neighbors to follo
32、w their example.CThe writings of Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britain. His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.Shakespeares work, together with most other classics, is seen as remote, and written in a 400yearold version of English
33、 that is about as inviting as toothache.Still, in British schools, it is compulsory to study the bard (诗人), and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom, resentment (憎恨) or both.This was my experience of the classics at school. But when I reached my late teenage years, I had
34、a change of heart. Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me. I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them.I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught it in Britain and China. I have never regretted it. There is something in literature that people w
35、ant, even if they dont read books. You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice being a_case_in_point. These popular adaptations may help increase peoples interest in the classics.Reading a simplified Romeo and
36、 Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeares actual play. If that is the case, then I welcome the trend. But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing. Shakespeare is a poet. His greatness is in his language. Reading someone elses rewriting of his work is like peeling a
37、banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin. Take on the original. It really is worth the effort.44Which of the following is true according to the passage?AThe language used in classics is no longer in use today.BBritish students usually find compulsory reading dull.COnly those studying lit
38、erature read Shakespeares works.DFor British people, Shakespeares works are no longer classics.45The popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works may help people _.Alearn more about tradition Bget a PhD in literatureCseek their answers about the world Dbecome more interested in the classics
39、46The underlined phrase “a case in point” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _.Aa great hit Ba good exampleCa movie adaptation Da popular phenomenon47What does the writer intend to tell us in the last paragraph?AThe fruit of a banana is more useful than its skin.BThe rewriting trend does more h
40、arm than good.CReaders should try to read the original versions.DReaders need to learn the language in the classics.DTraditionally poems would be recited and passed from poet to poet through the ages. It is only recently that poetry is something that one reads alone, rather than reciting to an audie
41、nce. At some point in the education of any student majoring in poetry, one will attempt to memorize a poem, and possibly recite it to someone else.Chances are that you have already memorized thousands of lines of verse in the form of lyrics. How did you memorize the lyrics of songs? You simply liste
42、ned to songs you liked over and over again until you almost couldnt help but have them memorized. Memorizing poetry isnt much different. You start with a poem you like, recite it to yourself over and over again, and you get to know it.One of the best aspects of learning a poem by heart is that you g
43、et to take a poem inside of yourself. It becomes a part of you. When you memorize a poem, it is no longer just a poem, but yours. Its in your head, and you call it up from memory as you would in any other experience.Also, memorizing a poem is a great way to truly get to understand languages, and con
44、sider every phrase, line and word. You can practice varying the sounds, adding pauses and emphasis in different spots to try to find the most accurate tone for the poem. In a way, you never really know a poem until youve memorized it. Once you know it, youll be able to recite it, like a jazz musicia
45、n improving(即兴创作)inside a songs boundariesadding his own words or re-wording a section to make it his own.48.According to the text, in the past poems were_.A. usually written in the form of songs by some musiciansB. mainly circulated among poets by oral communicationC. seldom chosen as teaching mate
46、rials in most universitiesD. only something that people enjoyed alone by themselves49.Memorizing the lyrics of songs is mentioned in the text to_.A. emphasize the importance of repetition(重复) in memorizing poemsB. describe the similar characteristics of poems and popular songsC. correct students wrong idea that reciting poems is very boring.D. encourage students to develop the habit of listening to music5
