11．Ugly was the cat in our department，He had only one eye．He-was also missing his ear on the same side and his tail has long ago been lost，leaving only the smallest stub（尾根）．
Every time someone  saw Ugly there was  the same reaction．"That's  one UGLY cat!"All the children were warned not to touch him．The adults threw rocks at him when he tried to come in their home．Ugly always had the same reaction-he would stand there until you gave up and quit．If you threw things at him，he would curl his lanky（瘦长的） body around feet in forgiveness．But if you ever picked him up，he would immediately begin sucking on your shirt，earring whatever he could find．
One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor's huskies （a kind of dog）．They did not respond kindly，and Ugly was badly injured．By the time I got to where he was lying，it was apparent Ugly's sad life was almost at an end．
Ugly lay in a wet circle and I could feel him struggling．Then l felt a familiar sucking sensation on my ear．Ugly，in so much pain，suffering and obviously dying，was trying to suck my ear．I pulled him closer to me，and he turned his one golden eye towards me．
At that moment I thought Ugly was the most beautiful，loving creature I had ever seen．Never once did he try to bite or scratch me，or even try to get away from me，or struggle in any way．Ugly just looked up at me completely trusting in me to relieve his pain．
Ugly died in my arms but I sat and held him thinking about how one ugly little thing could so change my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit，to love so totally and truly．He had been hurt on the outside，but I was hurt on the inside，and it was time for me to move on and learn to love truly and deeply．
Many people want to be richer，more successful，well liked，beautiful，but for me，I will always try to be Ugly．

51．What would people usually do to Ugly？C
A．Treat him like their own pet．
B．Smile at him because of his appearance．
C．Avoid him because be was ugly．

B．He showed his love despite his pain．
C．He was always loved by the writer．
D．He used to bite people but got forgiveness．

C．The writer got．sense of pride from helping the cat．

1．Advertising gives useful information about which products to buy．But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services．Today's advertisements，or ads，try to get consumers to buy certain brands．Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can，sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing，eat a special kind of cereal，or see a movie．Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it．
For example，you probab1y do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket．There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves．You may not have space on a shelf for another．But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra-tasty and has a free prize in the box，you may want it．
Advertising must get attention．To be effective，it must be exciting，entertaining，or provide some pleasure．The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product．The idea is what the ad is really selling．One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports．That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy．

B．The skills of modern advertising．
C．The results of modern advertising．

B．once customers see ads about a new cerea1，they are sure to buy it
C．cereal can make people strong
D．cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people

2．Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure（血压） under control，research suggests．Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs．
The research，from the University of Alberta in Canada，showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes（酶） they produce a protein that acts in the same way as Ace inhibitors，but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body．
Earlier this month，British researchers declared that，contrary to popular beliefs，it is healthy to go to work on an egg．They concluded that the type of cholesterol（胆固醇） found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks．
Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin，from the University of Surrey，said："The wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected．The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs．The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat．They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature's most nutritious foods．"
The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005．However，almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies．

57．From the text we know that Ace inhibitors are．A
A．a kind of medicine                                 B．a kind of protein  
C．a kind of illness                                  D．a kind of food
58．According to what Professor Brcue said，eggs．C
A．are the most nutritious food．
B．have no effect on blood cholesterol
C．can be included in a healthy diet  
D．are forbidden to be eaten in the UK
59．We can infer from the text that．D
A．drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs
B．stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases
C．most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be dropped
D．about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health
60．The text is meant．A
A．to introduce scientific findings about eggs
B．to introduce a medicine made from eggs
C．to tell people how to lower their blood pressure
D．to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible．
19．A．The way to get involved
B．Websites to check out
C．Join a forum you are interested in
D．Describe your personal interest
E．Online dos and don'ts
F．Online information
 
People are always saying that you should make friends with native speakers to practise the language．Now in the internet age，that's much easier．
The best way to strike up a friendship with English speakers online is to find those you share a common interest with．If you're able to discuss a hobby like movies or basketball together it will be much easier to start those friendships．
76CGetting involved in a forum based on your interests is also a great way to learn words that you might never have met in class．Different people may join different groups or forums，and you have to find the one that suits your case．
77．Dso，where do you go to find English speakers with like-minded interests？The most obvious places to look are Google and Yahoo．These popular Internet sites are bursting with groups and forums．
Once you've found a group that suits you，spend some time thinking about what you want to say in your first post．it's a good idea to introduce yourself，give your nickname and age，say where you're from，and tell what your interests are．
78．AThis is generally the fastest way to get involved in a forum and to introduce yourself to others．On a movie forum you could ask something like，"I've just seen the movie Revolutionary Road．I thought it was brilliant．Has anyone read the book？"
79．Bwww．englishforums．com：To find someone to talk to using Skype，check out his site．simply put Skype in the search engine and that will bring up the many people who have posted a desire to practice their English using Skype．Its chatrooms are also good places to find English speakers．
mylanguagexchange．com：The website is an online language exchange community．There are even lesson plans to help structure the conversation．
www．englishonline．org．cn/en：The British Council's English online website is another place with lively forums worth checking out．Or you could join a Facebook group．There are thousands on the website．
80．EOne common mistake people make when they approach English speakers online is to begin by saying that they want to be friends to improve their English．
While this may be the truth，don't say it．it suggests you have little interest in a real friendship．
Be imaginative in approaching people．Perhaps you see that someone is from a certain country that you would like to visit．Tell them so，and then ask if they can tell you a bit about it．Then tell them about yours．
6．Who are these people rushing by you in the street？More than 215million people now call America"home''，but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world．If you look at the names on shop windows，you will see that Americans come from many different lands．The idea that these people，who once were strangers to the United States，have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become"American''is really not true．In fact，what exists in America is more often a kind of"side-by-side''living in which groups of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits．They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives-such as in schools，business，and sports-but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home．This living"side-by-side"has both advantages and disadvantages．Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between  groups whose ways of life are very different from one another．However，there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands．There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress，food，and social customs in America．Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States，in Churches，music，food，national groups，or newspapers．

51．More than 215million people call America"home"becauseB

C．They face the society they are not familiar with．
D．The advantages coming from the variety of cultures make life in America colorful．
55．Which title of the following can best take the place of"Different Cultures in America"？D
A．Advantages and Disadvantages．  B．Different Customs and Habits．
C．Home for the People             D．"Side-by-side"Living Style in America．
16．"Tear'em apart!""Kill the fool!Murder the referee（裁判）！"
These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events．At the time they are made，they may seem innocent（无辜的） enough．But let's not kid ourselves．They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed（流血）．Volumes have been written about the way words affect us．It has been shown that words having certain connotation（涵义）may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior．I see the term"opponent"as one of those words．Perhaps the time has come to delete（删除） it from sports terrors．（恐怖）
The dictionary meaning of the term"opponent"is"adversary"；"enemy"；"one who opposes your interests．"Thus，when a player meets an opponent，he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy．At such times，winning may dominate （支配）one's intellect（智力），and every action，no matter how gross （rude），may be considered justifiable（无可非议的）．I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough．The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed，"Are they wet enough now？"
In the heat of battle players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way．I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent's international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play．Off the court，they are good friends．Does that make any sense？It certainly，gives proof of a court attitude which departs（背离） from （goes against） normal behavior．
Therefore，I believe it is time we elevated（提升）the game to the level where it belongs thereby （因而）setting an example to the rest of the sporting world．Replacing the term"opponent"with"associate"could be an ideal way to start．
The dictionary meaning of the term"associate"is"colleague"，"friend"，"companion"．Reflect a moment!You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term"associate"rather than"opponent"．

C．Unpleasant words in Sports are often used by foreign athletes．
