19.Downing Street sources have indicated that the British tennis player,Andy Murray,will be Recommended for a knighthood(爵士头衔)for ending Britain's 77-year wait for a Wimbledon men's champion title.David Cameron,the British prime minister,who was in the royal box on Sunday at Wimbledon told reporters that he couldn't think of anyone who deserves one more.More news on the knighthood is surely to come,but Murray's achievement has a twist in that he is Scottish,not English.
Also in the royal box show on Sunday was Scotland's  first minister,Alex Salmond,waving the white-and-blue Scottish flag in the row directly behind Cameron after the victory.No Scotsman had won the singles at Wimbledon since Harold Mahony in 1896.Salmond was later asked on BBC Radio whether Murray's achievement had been a victory for Britain."Absolutely,and for tennis fans everywhere,"Salmond said."Let everyone enjoy the victory.But you will allow us just the little private thing.Let us wave our national flag.''
The Scottish government,headed by Salmond,has announced that Scotland will hold a
referendum(全民票)on independence from Britain in September 2014.Murray,who lives in the  London area but was born and raised in the Scottish town of Dunblane,has not said publicly which way he would vote on the issue,and his Wimbledon Championship will only mix interest in his views.
But this was a national moment.Murray's semifinal victory over Jerzy
Janowicz drew a peak television audience of 13.24million viewers,the biggest of the year in Britain.The final then topped that with a peak audience of 17.3million,the biggest audience for a Wimbledon final since at least 1990,according to the B BC.
Only one name will go on the trophy(奖杯),but tennis at the highest level has now become a team event.Murray,who once had frequent fits of anger during matches,has transformed himself into a much more focused force with the help of an extensive support group.Murray's rise to champion has clearly  something to do with his decision to hire the former number one tennis champion Ivan Lendl as his coach just before the 2012season."He's been very patient with me; I'm just happy I managed to do it for him."
Onward Team Murray goes toward a defense of the United States Open title,beginning next month,and then eventually to defending at Wimbledon next year with the British drought(干旱)  well and truly over..
33.The underlined word"twist"in the second paragraph refers to Murray'sD.
A.achievement      B.knighthood  C.champion title     D.nationality
34.What does the author mean by saying"the British drought well and truly over"?D
A.Murray is concerned about the drought that struck Britain.
B.Drought in Britain will be over next year when Wimbledon is held.
C.British government's rule over Scotland will come to an end soon.
D.The British people's desire for a Wimbledon victory is fully satisfied.
35.What does the writer intend to tell us?A
A.The whole Great Britain is enjoying Murray's victory.
B.Scotland is going to gain independence from Britain
C.The secret lies behind Murray's Wimbledon victory.
D.Murray was torn between the choices in the referendum.

There was (46)C for a moment as my dad composed himself,and with a small (47)A in his voice he said,"You're welcome,Bud."
I don't remember much of the rest of the call,(48)B that moment of revelation (显露) about my father,I will never forget.There are those who are known for their heroic (49)B,and also those who are known for their fortunes and fame,but it is the (50)C everyday fathers who are the true heroes.I'm thankful that my father was one of them.

14..Cold weather can be hard on pets,just like it can be hard on people.Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are.Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time,thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors.This can put their pets in danger of serious illness.There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.
Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad.If you have to take them out,stay outside with them.When you're cold enough to go inside,they probably are too.If you must leave them outside for a long time,make sure they have a warm,solid shelter against the wind,thick bedding,and plenty of non-frozen water.
If left alone outside,dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelters.They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere.Watch them closely when they are left outdoors,and provide them with shelter of good quality.Keep an eye on your pet's water.Sometimes owners don't realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can't get anything to drink.Animals that don't have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside,which may contain something unhealthy for them.

9.Air travel makes some people very nervous.But there are classes people can take to help themselves defeat the fear of flying.And now similar training can be provided for service dogs that suffer the same problem.
   Service dogs almost never leave the side of the people they care for.You will see them working on buses,trains and other public transport.But the busy environment found at an airport can disturb even the best-trained working dogs.
   People with disabilities depend on their dogs.They want the animals to safely guide them through security areas.They also want the dogs to remain calm on duty on the airplane,even when the flying is not smooth.This takes special training.The Air Hollywood K9 flight School is one place where such help can be found.
   The school has a piece of equipment that provides the sights,sounds and even the feel of an airplane in flight.It is called a flight simulator (模拟器).The simulator was initially built for filming airplane scenes in movies.
Sandy Alexander lives in Newport Beach,California.He has a disability that requires his two-year-old dog,Doc,to be always at his side.Mr Alexander took the dog to the flight school to get him ready for plane trips.
According to her working experience,Mary Sgall says,successful training is based on a simple rule:preparation.Dogs need to be exposed to the environment over and over again,to loud noises,to sounds and busy crowds so that when this experience happens to them on a daily basis,they're able to act in a way that they're used to acting,"she explained.
Dog owners who attended the training at Air Hollywood K9 flight School say they now feel much more at ease about future flights.Their dogs also seem ready for takeoff.
8.When service dogs are at a busy airport,they will usually becomeA.
A.disturbed       B.delighted         C.discouraged       D.pleased
9.According to the passage,who depend on the service dogs?
C
A.Old persons     B.Little babies      C.Disabled people    D.Weak patients.
10.At first,the flight simulator was designed toB.
A.help the service dog                B.make a film  
C.train the plane pilot                D.guide the plane
11.We can infer that Mary Segall is aD.
A.dog owner       B.dog lover       C.dog doctor         D.dog trainer.
