The fog was so thick that I couldn't see the man next to me. We were led down a road to the base of a hill. An officer, unknown to us, explained that the command wanted us to spread out on the road and fix bayonets(刺刀).When the signal was given, we were to creep up the hill and take the enemy by surprise with a bayonet attack.

I didn't think too much of the idea and about a dozen fellows agreed with me, but we lost in the vote. Some others didn't have bayonets and declared that the orders didn't apply to them, but their idea, too, was denied.

Up the hill we went, feeling our way along the ground with our feet. Step by step we advanced. It seemed like an ugly dream, but I knew it was all too real. I looked to my right and to my left to find any sign of my fellows. Much to my surprise, I could make out unclear forms on each side of me. I could hear whispers all along the line and louder orders to shut up!

While we were standing around arguing, the fog suddenly disappeared, just like somebody waved a magic wand(杖).We were caught out in the open with no cover in sight. The Chinese had been caught by surprise. Both sides just stared at each other, not knowing what was going on. A single shot rang out and somebody blew a whistle and shouted "Retreat"(撤退).We rushed out at full speed down the hill.

I don't speak or understand Chinese, but from behind us I could understand joyful laughter!

64.We can conclude from the passage that the author ________.

A. felt sorry for not completing the action B. was serving in the Chinese army

C. was not serious when telling the story D. intended to owe their failure to the heavy fog

第一节（共15小题年每小题2分，满分30分）

请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital.

However, I soon discovered that one big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it became of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.

Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising --- and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.

Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

61. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?

A. Staying on the farm. B. Moving to the countryside.

C. Leaving home for the city. D. Running away from the school.

62. Which of the following is true about the writer?

A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health.

C. He prefers driving a car. D. He lives in the city now.

63. In the passage, the writer tries to __________.

A. express his opinions about way of life B. describe his life in the countryside

C. an interest in the outside world D. persuade the reader to live in the city

64. How is the passage mainly developed?

A. By inferring. B. By comparing.

     Go ahead, talk to your dog.
     As many a dog owner will prove, our furry friends are listening.Now, for the doubters, there is
scientific proof that they understand much of what they hear.A border collie called Rico can fetch at
least 200 objects by name, researchers in Germany say.The dog also appears to learn words for new
objects as easily as a 3yearold child would.Its wordlearning skill is as good as that of a parrot or
chimpanzee.
     In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided
them randomly into 20 sets of 10 objects each.The dog waited with one of his owners in one room,
while an experimenter put a set of 10 objects into another room.Then, the owner told the dog to fetch
one of the items. The dog had to go to the other room and bring the object back
     In four trials, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right.Because the dog couldn't see anyone to get visual
clues about what to bring back, the scientists concluded that he must understand the meanings of certain
words.
     In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a
room with seven toys whose names he already knew.The dog's owner then told him to fetch the object,
using a word Rico had never heard.
     In 7 out of 10 trials, Rico picked the right object, suggesting that he figured out the answer by
process of elimination.A month later, he remembered half of the new names, which further impressed the
researchers.
     Rico is probably smarter than the average dog, the scientists say.For one thing, he's a border collie,
a breed known for its mental abilities.In addition, the 9yearold dog has been trained to retrieve toys by
their names since he was 9 months old.
     It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say.Even if they do, they can't
talk back.Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweettalk your pup every now and then.You might just get a big, wet
kiss in return!

1. It is implied that________.

A. Rico is probably cleverer than the average dog
B. Only a few dogs can talk back to its owner
C. if a chimpanzee is trained, it can also recognize the names of objects
D. All dogs can understand words

2. How long is it since Rico's owner began to train him?

A. nine months
B. 3 years.
C. over nine years.
D. more than eight years.

3. Rico can do all the following except________.
A. understanding the meanings of certain words
B. picking the right object by process of elimination
C. remembering all of the new names he learned
D. retrieving toys by their names
