17、ade you laugh. Whenever I was “bad”, youd shake your finger at me and ask, “How could you?” but then youd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect. My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that t
18、ogether. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day. Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fel
19、l in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy.

21、 excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And
22、“How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind. Is it better to live with hope or without hope?

The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer Ireland. For hundreds of y
26、ears, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The republic of Ireland, in the south
27、, is an independent country. In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes， was affected by disease and about 750, 000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell
28、 from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851. For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life
29、in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace. The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of mus
30、ic, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.28. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?A. How the Irish fought again
31、st the English.B. How Ireland gained independence.C. How two “Irelands” came into being.D. How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.29.

32、 population C. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory workerD. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments30. The last paragraph is mainly about_.A. the Irish characterB. Irish musical instrumentsC. Irish culture D. a famous Irish writer31. What can be the b
33、est title for the text?A. Life in IrelandB. A Very Difficult HistoryC. The Independence of IrelandD. Ireland, Past and Present DBlue-eyed people have been living in Europe for at least 7,000 years, scientists have discovered.A man who lived on the Iberian Peninsula before Europeans became farmers pr
34、obably had blue eyes but dark hair and skin, according to scientists who have sequenced(按序排列)his DNA. This surprising combination of eye, hair and skin coloring may not be unusual during his lifetime, but it is no longer seen among modern Europeans, reported by the journal Nature.The man, a Neolithi
35、c hunter-gatherer known to scientists as La Brana I, is of great interest to scientists because he offers a snapshot (简况) of what was in Europeans DNA before agriculture spread through the continent. Experts have theorized that certain genetic feature spread quickly among humans after they adopted t
36、he farming lifestyle. La Brana I shows that at least some of their predictions were correct.The mans skeleton, along with that of a male companion, was discovered in 2006 in a cave in what is now northeastern Spain. The site, known as La Brana Arintero, sits about 5,000 feet above sea level, and the
37、 cave provided a cold, refrigerator-like environment that preserved his DNA.In the lab, scientists were able to remove enough DNA from a single tooth to reconstruct La Brana Is entire genome(基因组).They compared it to the DNA of other ancient Europeans (including Otzi, the 5,300-year-old mummy found i
38、n an Alpine glacier) and determined that he was a closer match with hunter gatherers than with farmers.When it came to genes that would influence La Brana Is appearance, the researchers found that their 7,000-year-old subject had versions of two skin pigment(色素) genes that either very rare or nonexi
39、stent among Europeans today. Then they looked at other places in the genome that influence pigmentation(色素沉着)and found a mix of ancient and modern gene variants(变种).Taken together, La Brana Is DNA “is likely to have resulted in dark skin pigmentation and dark or brown hair,” they wrote.However, his
40、DNA indicates that his eyes were most likely blue, the scientists found. This suggests that gene variants for light-colored eyes and skin did not spread together, they wrote, adding that La Brana Is combination “of dark skin and non brown eyes is unique and no longer present in contemporary European
41、 populations. ” Today, a blue-eyed person would typically have fair skin.To get some idea of whether La Brana Is coloring was unusual for his day, the researchers will try to sequence the DNA of his companion, who has been named La Brana II.32. Why are scientists interested in La Brana I?A.They can
42、know Europeans DNA.B.They can know the ancient agriculture in Europe.C.They can know European hunter gatherers DNA.D.They can know some of their predictions were correct.33. La Brana I remains as it was due to _.A.dry weatherB. a cold conditionC. proper protectionD. a high cave34. Which of the follo
43、wing is TRUE? A.La Brana Is gene variants spread together.B.La Brana Is DNA influences his appearance.C. La Brana Is appearance influences contemporary Europeans.D. La Brana Is gene is completely different from the contemporary Europeans.35. What does the last paragraph suggest?A. La Brana II has th
44、e same genome with La Brana I.B.Blue-eyed people were common in Europe 7,000 years ago.C.La Brana Is combination of dark skin and non-brown eyes is unique.D.It s not certain that La Branas appearance was common at that time.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It is genera
45、lly believed that money cant buy happiness. However, that may not be always true. According to a recent article, in the last few years, new research has given us a far deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel. Broadly speaking, people with higher incomes are happ
46、ier than those who struggle to get by. But it also shows you need to spend wisely if you expect those bank notes to put a smile on your face. 36 1. Buy experiences, not material goods.In a recently published study, Professor Ryan at San Francisco State University in the US, found that when people dont have much money to spare, they tend to stick to material goods. 37 But they actually provide both more happiness and more lasting value.2. 38 No matter how much money you spend on something and how special that product
