16.My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live.Two dog walkers passed by and we heard one of them say,"Never seen that dog around here before."
We looked down the hill and saw an old black dog stumbling(蹒跚) painfully up the hill.We bent down,talked gently to the dog and patted it.I checked and there was a collar.There was a phone number on the collar,but no one answered.
The dog was painfully thin.It didn't have many teeth left and,well,it just seemed done.
Julie ran home to get some of our dog's food while I tried to encourage the dog to come along with me.Julie got home and back again when I was only half way there.So,we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food.
Eventually we got her home.We gave her a blanket,more food,kept her warm and wondered what to do next.
After trying for many times we got a response from the number.A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us.She explained that Tara had been her father's dog.She was very old and should probably be put to sleep,but the lady just couldn't bring herself to do it.So,Tara was safely returned home.
Here is the truth of the story:
Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving.She was trying to persuade me to come back,but I wasn't hearing anything that made that sound likely.
I was about to turn and go when an old,worn out dog walked between us and collapsed.Suddenly we had something more important than (our problem) to worry about.There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.
We did help it.And here am I writing the story in my own home,in my own family.
In the song"Love Is Not a Fight"Warren Barfield talks about marriage.At one point he sings,"And if we try to leave,may God send angels to guard the door."
Sometimes angels come disguised (伪装) as dogs.

C.After finding the dog,the writer phoned its owners.
D.Most of the dog's teeth had been pulled out by someone.
37.We can infer from Paragraph 4thatB.

C.the dog didn't go with the writer  D.the dog didn't eat any of the food

A.A Helpful Couple.  B.An Angel Dog. C.Saving the Dog. D.A Famous Song.

分析 这篇文章主要讲述了作者和妻子在路上捡了一只狗,带它回家,救了它,但是实际上是这只像天使一般的狗,在作者要离开家时,使他回心转意,因此挽救了作者的家庭.这篇文章告诉我们总会有天使在我们身边帮助我们.

解答 36.C  细节理解题,由第二段There was a phone number on the collar,but no one answered.可知我给狗的主人打了电话,所以C正确;误解分析:由第一段Two dog walkers passed by and we heard one of them say,"Never seen that dog around here before."可以看出他们只是以前没见过这只狗,不是不喜欢,所以A错;由第二段We looked down the hill and saw an old black dog stumbling(蹒跚) painfully up the hill.可以看出这只狗在上山,所以不是不会走,B错;选项D在文章中没有提到;故选C.
37.B  细节理解题,由第四段Julie ran home to get some of our dog's food while I tried to encourage the dog to come along with me.朱莉回家拿了我们家狗的食物,可知我家原本有一只狗,故选B.
38.B  细节理解题,根据Eventually we got her home.We gave her a blanket,more food,kept her warm and wondered what to do next.可知我们很好地照顾了这条狗,故选B.
39.D  猜词题:从文章第五段Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving.She was trying to persuade me to come back,but I wasn't hearing anything that made that sound likely.可知那天早上作者本来是想离开家的,所以"our problem"指的是这对夫妇的婚姻有麻烦这个事实,故选D.
40.B  主旨大意题,通过全篇文章和最后一段Sometimes angels come disguised (伪装) as dogs.可知这篇文章讲的是一个象天使一般的狗,挽救了作者的家庭,故选B.

11.阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文.
How early must a student begin preparing for an international education?Lisa Jain,the representative of The College Board in India showed her idea here clearly.
Many students who want to study abroad believe they need to start planning for it only in Grade12.What they don't realize is the amount of time,thought,and effort it requires.That is why a student should begin the ground work in Grade 10in order to gain a clear undestanding of what the college application process requires and to be prepared to deal with the pressures that will follow.
Focus on school grades and marks.It is important to try your best to perform well in academics throughout high school and not just in Grade 12.
Start gaining experience.Get involved in a small number of activities ove a long period of time,such as a sport,the arts,writing,research,community work,etc,through which you create impact in the activity,climb to a leadership position,grow as a person and develop skills.Picking something in Grade 12and claiming it's your passion won't work.
Begin research.Which country do you want to apply to colleges in?What do you want to study at college?Researching early and start reflecting on what you'd enjoy learning will make the college and major selection process less overwhelming in Grade 12.
All your efforts in Grade 10-11will help ease your burden in Grade 12.If you do everything at the right time,you will find the process enjoyable and realize there is hardly a reason to stress.Just remember:The early birds catch the worms!

In the passage,Lisa Jain offered her advice to those wanting to study abroad,pointing out that,to be prepared,a student should begin the ground work early in Grade 10,like focusing on good grades from the very beginning.
The early birds catch the worms!What a thought-provoking proverb,which reminds us to plan ahead of time and make full preparations so as to achieve success.In my opinion,"the early birds"means the people who always make early plans and adequate preparations,and"catch worms"indicates catching opportunities and harvesting success.Just as another saying goes,opportunities are for those who are prepared.Only if a person has an early start to get everything ready can he possess the ability to seize the chance and accomplish his goal.
Yu Ming Hong,the founder of the famous educational institution New Oriental,is a good illustration of the truth that success lies in an early start and good preparations. When studying in Peking university,aiming to find a good job in Beijing after graduation,Yu Ming Hong decided to improve his major English.So,from the freshman year,he kept reciting words every day and stuck to it all the way through his college life. With an early start and constant efforts,by the time he graduated,he had become the student who had the largest vocabulary among his classmates,which contributed directly to his good grades in English and thus he successfully became an English teacher in Peking University and later set up the well-known school.Undoubtedly,it was his"being the early bird"that brought him his success today.
Therefore,be an early bird,and you will find it pays off.But how?First of all,a clear goal is essential,which will lead us to where we want to go.Secondly,plan the day and manage our time.Early birds never fails to carefully plan and make the best of his time.And then painstaking efforts follow..
8.I'm not so sure I like my friends any more.I used to like them-to be honest.We'd have lunch,talk on the phone or exchange emails,and they all seemed normal enough.But then came FaceBook,and I was introduced to a sad fact:many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.
Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via FaceBook.No longer hidden,they're thrown in my face like TV commercials-unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.
Take Fred.If you were to have lunch with him,you'd find him warm,and self-effacing(谦逊的).Read his FaceBook and you'll realize he's an unbearable,food-obsessed boring man.He'd pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man-and then write about it.
Take Andy.You won't find a smarter CEO anywhere,but now he's a CEO without a company to run.So he plays Mafia Wars on FaceBook.He's doing well-level 731.Thanks to FaceBook,I know he's playing about 18hours a day.Andy,you've run four companies-and this is how you spend your downtime?What happened to golf?What happened to getting another job?
Take Liz.She is positive that the flu vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it.And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20times a day on every website he can find,so I get to read his thoughts twice,once on FaceBook and once on Twitter.
In real life,I don't see these sides of people.Face to face,my friends show me their best.They're nice,smart people.But face to FaceBook,my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.
I'm left with a dilemma.Who is my real friend?Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine madman on FaceBook?Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he's at a party and the wine isn't up to his standards?

26.Who is opposed to the flu vaccine in the text?C

6.阅读下面短文,然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文.
Once upon a time in a land far away,there was a wonderful old man who loved everything:animals,spiders,insects…
One day while walking through the woods the nice old man found a cocoon(茧)of a butterfly.He took it home.A few days later,a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.Then it seemed to stop making any progress.It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.
Then the man decided to help the butterfly,so he took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then came out with ease.
But it had a swollen body and small,shriveled(萎缩的)wings.The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that,at any moment,the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body.Neither happened!In fact,the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.It never was able to fly.
What the kind-hearted man did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid(液体)from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.If we were allowed to go through our life without any hardships,it would fail us.We would not be as strong as what we could have been.And we could never fly.

A kind man cut a cocoon open in order to lessen the pain of a butterfly when he saw it struggling out of the cocoon,only to find that it could never fly because of his help.
The story sets me thinking.Our life is more or less like this.Sometimes,struggles or obstacles in our life are a must for our growth.It is these struggles or obstacles that increase our willpower and contribute to our success.Without these trials,we could never achieve our life goal just as the butterfly did in the story.
Nowadays,with only one child in most families,parents do whatever they can to satisfy the child's needs and even do for him what should be done by himself.Consequently,the child is unable to look after himself without his parents'presence.Too much care from parents deprives children of chances to grow strong by conquering obstacles.
  If I were a parent,I would first keep him well informed that life is never easy and that he should be ready to face any difficulties.Besides,I would expose him to the hardships in life instead of protecting him from difficulties,providing them with chances to fight for his bright future by conquering challenges..
