【题目】A woman brought a very limp-looking duck to see a vet. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope(听诊器) and listened to the bird’s chest.

After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, “I’m sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away.”

The woman was so disappointed and asked, “Are you sure?” “Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead,” replied the vet.

“How can you be so sure?” she protested. “I mean you haven’t done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma(昏迷) or something.”

The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black dog. As the duck’s owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his back legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed() the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room.

A few minutes later, he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also carefully sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back down, shook his head meowed softly and went out of the room.

The vet looked at the woman and said, “I’m sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck.”

The vet turned to his computer, pressed a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.

The duck’s owner, still in shock, took the bill. “150 dollars!” she shouted. “150 dollars just to tell me my duck is dead!”

The vet shrugged, “I’m sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been 20 dollars, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it’s now 150 dollars.”

1Why did the vet take a dog and a cat into the examination room?

A. To confirm (确认) the duck was dead.

B. To give to the woman as pets.

C. To comfort the woman.

D. To ask them to save the duck’s life.

2How was the woman likely to feel after being told the reason why the bill was 150 dollars?

A. Awkward. B. Angry

C. Sad. D. Delighted.

3The passage is a(n) ________.

A. novel B. joke.

【题目】New Year’s Plans for First Graders

The first year in high school can be very difficult. 1. An unsuccessful first year can hurt a student’s GPA(平均成绩点数)and more importantly, destroy his or her confidence. At the halfway point here, let’s suggest a few New Year’s Plans.

●Become a part of your school

Join a club, a sport or other activity that will give you a chance to develop your leadership, creativity and organizational skills. All those are important skills to have in college and in life. 2 .

●Work on your grades

First year grades are one-fourth of your high school GPA, but one-third of the GPA that will be handed to colleges when you apply. If you’ve had a difficult first three months, now is the time to get help. 3. It may be reading, math, or a certain other class. Many classes build on what was learned before, so determine what you have difficulty with and master it. If necessary, turn to your teacher.

4

In high school, students must work more by themselves and manage their time well. If time management hasn’t been your strength, then make a system that will work for you. Many students need a homework notebook or electronic scheduling tool. 5 The attached article has great suggestions for managing time—a skill that if learned in high school, will be used for life.

A. Improve your time management skills.

B. Manage your after-class activities properly

C. You’d better first find out what your problem is

D. The help may come from teachers or your classmates

E. But it is an important building block on the road to college

F. These tools map out time for homework, studying and activities.

G. High school is a great time to learn these skills and perfect them.
