6．Are you a dog person or a cat person？
With so many photos and videos of cats and dogs doing cute things online，it's easier than ever to answer which of these furry friends you like more．There are many reasons why people prefer one type of pet over the other．So，have you ever wondered what your preference for cats or dogs says about you？
In fact，a 2010study done by Sam Gosling，a psychologist at the University of Texas，US，and his graduate student Carson Sandy found that dog people are more extroverted （外向的），agreeable and conscientious （认真的） than cat people．
"Cats will occasionally engage in social activities，but usually after only a few minutes they will give up the game．Dogs，on the other hand，will often engage in play，like fetching a thrown ball，for hours at a time，"said Modern Dog magazine．
Just on the basis of dogs'nature being more sociable than cats'，you may expect that the personalities of dog people also reflect higher sociability．And Gosling's study found that dog people are generally about 15percent more extroverted and 13percent more agreeable，both of which are associated with social orientation （倾向）．
In addition，dog people are 11percent more conscientious than cat people．"Conscientiousness"is a tendency to show self-discipline，to complete tasks and aim for achievement．This trait also shows a preference for planned rather than spontaneous （一时冲动的） behavior．
In comparison，cat people are about 12percent more anxious，but they are also 11percent more"open"than dog people，due to a general appreciation for art，emotion，imagination，curiosity，adventure，unusual ideas and variety of experience．And people high on openness are more likely to hold unconventional beliefs．
Despite so many differences，there are some things that cat people and dog people have in common．"Both types of people consider themselves close to nature，dislike animal-print clothing and generally look on the better side of life，"noted Mother Nature Network．
21．What does the article mainly talk about？D

B．Factors that influence people's preference for dogs or cats．

D．perform well in
23．According to the study done by Sam Gosling，dog owners tend toB than cat owners．
A．be more imaginative and creative

13．Nowadays，it is common that more and more high school students open their own micro blogs on the Internet．For one thing，it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent．For（61）another，it is a useful way to release their （62）pressure（press）．And all these make it more and more popular with high school students．（63）But many parents and teachers hold a different view．They think that managing one's micro blog will take a lot of time and energy，（64）whichshould be used to study．
In my view，I am greatly in favor of this activity．Today the Internet is playing（65）an important and essential role in our life．Therefore，as high school students of the Information Age，we need to learn to make use of this（66）meaningful （mean） tool to communicate and display ourselves．What's more，opening and organizing micro blogs need various （67）abilities（able）such as writing，designing，being skillful at computer and so on．Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful micro blog．As a result，we improve ourselves while（68）organizing （organize） our micro blogs．
In fact，micro blog（69）itself（it） is of little harm．It is your attitude towards it（70）thatmatters．We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects．

3．Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways．When people cheat，it's not fair to other people，like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game．
Many people like the action of cheating．It makes difficult things seem easy，like getting all the right answers on the test．But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help on the next test-unless the person cheats again．
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them．The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade．And，if they get caught cheating，they will be in trouble at school，and maybe at home，too．
Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying．Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating．Even when there seems to be a"good reason"for cheating，cheating isn't a good idea．
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study，it would be better to talk with the teacher about this．And if you don't have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice，you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school．
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some approaches to the problem together．Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating．

10．Birds enjoy a relatively slow rate of extinction but a new study suggests that rate might be severely underestimated（低估）．Even worse，if human actions continue，bird extinction rates could skyrocket and 12percent of the known bird species（物种） could be dying out by the end of the century．
Presently there are 10，000known bird species-most identified after 1850-and an estimated 130of those have become extinct since 1500，setting the extinction rate at about one species every four years．
But according to Stuart Pimm of Duke University，this rate fails to take into account three key points：The continual identification of extinct bird species from fossil remains； numerous"missing"species not yet declared extinct； and the fact that present extinction rates were not calculated using the proper baseline date for when the species was first described．
Taking these points into consideration，the extinction rate is closer to one bird species per year，says Pimm，the leading author of the study．And the rate could be three times as high as that if not for recent bird preservation efforts．
In previous centuries，bird extinctions took place mainly on islands as Polynesian peoples expanded into the Pacific or Europeans took over the Americas，wiping out birds along the way．
In recent years，scientists are seeing an increased number of extinctions on continents，again because of human activities．Habitat destruction，introduction of invasive species，and climate change combine to harm many bird species．Before human influence，the estimated rate of bird extinctions would have been only one species per hundred years，researchers estimate．
Bird extinction rates are slower than for most animals，mainly because humans do more harm to other species and people take special efforts to protect birds．Still，if the present trends continue，the researchers estimate that the bird extinction rate will continue to climb to as many as 10species per year，
47．The underlined word"skyrocket"in the first paragraph meansC
A．fly high
B．appear soon
C．increase quickly
D．change regularly

A．Humans have started destroying bird habitat in recent years．
B．Humans are doing more harm to animals than to birds．
C．Humans have made no effort to protect birds．
D．Humans are responsible for the bird extinctions．
50．What might be the best title for the passage？C
A．Humans'Fighting against Bird Extinction
B．Humans'Responsibilities for Bird Protection
C．Bird Extinction Rates Far Worse Than Realized

8．Considering Australia's size and the fact that early settlements were far apart，Australian society is remarkably homogeneous （同种的）．Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them．It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents．
However，there is some difference in lifestyle between city settlers and the country people．Almost 90percent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert． The major cities preserve images of colonial heritage，but the overall impression is modem，with new buildings reflecting the country's youth．In contrast，the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative．For many years，Australia was said to have"ridden on the sheep's back"，a reference to wool being the country's main money earner．However，it is no longer dominant （主宰的）．Much of Australia's relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat，and by being the largest diamond producer in the world．Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important．Australians are generally friendly and relaxed，with a modest sense of humor．
Yet，contrary to widespread belief，very few Australians have true prisoner origins．Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788，Australia had become a nation of immigrants．Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles，today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere．Australia's liberal postwar immigration policies led to a flowing of survivors from war-torn Europe，most notably Greeks，Italians，Poles and Germans．
The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia．Today Australia is a"mixture of nations"and although some racism exists，it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is reasonably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world．
24． What does the writer mean by saying"has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert"in the second paragraph？C
A．The major population has a close relationship with the desert．
B．The fast-paced cities are just located by the desert．
C．The major population knows little about the desert．
D．The major population is familiar with the people living in the desert．
25． Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？A
A．The pace of life in the city is different from that in the country．
B．One third of people living in Australia come from Europe．
C．The Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports．
D．Most Australians have ancestors who were prisoners．
26． What used to be Australia's main money earner？B
A．Wheat．
B．Wool．
C．Tourism．
D．Diamond．
27． We can infer from the passage thatD．
A．nothing about Australia's colonial part in modem cities can be seen by visitors
B．tourism and wine making resulted in fast development in rural communities only
C．immigrants from Europe have brought racial problems
D．Australia's recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast Asia．
