Last Monday，I let Snow stay in （62）thebackyard of my house．Then I went into the house to find a leash（狗项圈）．（63）However，when I returned to the backyard，I found the dog was gone．I was really（64）concerned（concern）．I really needed Snow，because it was good for my （65）recovery（recover）．I had been training it for months and I didn't want to start all over again．
My family and I immediately began to look for it in the （66）surrounding（surround） woods．As night fell，we became （67）increasingly（increase） worried．The next day，my neighbors，friends and even a rescue team joined the effort but found nothing．
I was about to give up my hope （68）whenI received a call from a neighbor who （69）had spotted（spot） my dear Snow running along the road．Not long after，we saw Snow out of the window．Thank goodness!Snow returned （70）itself（it）．Maybe it was also worried about my illness．

In a couple of week，we will say goodbye to our school．How the time flies!I will never forget the past three years that I have enjoyed a wonderfully journey with all of my teachers and classmates．To make the journey fruitful，our teachers devoted his time and energy to us．Thanks so much to your help and guidance，my dear teachers!I really appreciated it．
Before long，we'll start a new journey，and there may be a lot of difficulties in do everything in the future．I know there are no end to the things that we can accomplish，and tomorrow is the beginning of the hardest part of our life．May you happy and successful all the time in your new life!
16．Mr．Swales was talking about what people do in his class．He also （41）wanted（want） to find out what his students wanted to be （42）whenthey grew up．He asked Billy Mitzer to say something about it first．
"My daddy works in a bank，"Billy Mitzer said．"I guess I expect （43）to work （work） in a bank too．There's lots of money in the bank．"
"My parents have a grocery store，"Emmy DiSalvo said．"But I want to be an airline pilot．"
Shirley Danes yelled，"Jodie's Daddy is a garbage man!"
Everybody in the class laughed out loud （44）at Jodie．She felt her face turn red．Everyone was laughing．Jodie looked at Mr．Swales．He was （45）angry （anger）．He almost never raised his voice，but now he did．
"Silence!I want everybody to be quiet this instant．"
The laughter stopped （46）immediately （immediate）．"You should be ashamed of yourselves，"Mr．Swales said．"（47）Being（be） a garbage man is difficult and enormously useful job．We should all be grateful to Mr．Harris．Where would we be without （48）him （he）？I think you all owe Jodie an（49）apology（apologize）．And after that，you're all going to write his father a nice letter to tell him how much you appreciate （50）what he does for all of us．"

Chocolate consultant
This could well be the best job for anyone with even the（51）C passion for chocolate-and yes，jobs like these really do exist．There are lots of different types of chocolate consultant．Louise Thomas has worked in the chocolate industry for two years and has been（52）D about chocolate．She became （53）B by the lack of education and awareness regarding fine chocolate，so started her own company to share her love of the cocoa bean．She now runs tastings to find a（n） （54）A chocolate for every customer or to extend their range．If you don't yet have what it takes to be a chocolate consultant，you can still work with chocolate as a pastry chef．
LEGO（55）D
Who hasn't at some point in their life sat down in front of a box of Lego and（56）B building （or helping someone else to build） a fantastic creation in multi-coloured blocks？For some people this becomes more than just something you did as a kid．Lego has a number of （57）A who work with the company to create sets and build models for them．They work against fairly tight budgets and thematic restrictions，and are based in Legoland Discovery Centres around the world．However，competition for the jobs is （58）A，with estimates varying as to exactly how many there are in the world-from 9to 30．The latest one to get a job was 23-year-old Andrew Johnson，and then competed in a tough three-round build-off，（59）B 45other competitors．If you love childhood toys but don't fancy building them，why not consider working in a toy shop？
Shark tank cleaner
Window cleaning is probably not the most fun of professions．However，add in the requirement to share your job with a lot of sharks while simultaneously （同时地） （60）C by a crowd of people，all of whom are no doubt secretly hoping at least one of the sharks is feeling a little hungry，and suddenly the （61）B levels rise up a level or two．However，if you want to work with fish，perhaps the job would be a good choice．
Professional sleeper
（62）C you're addicted to your alarm o'clock or spend all day at your desk yawning and drinking cups of coffee to stay awake，then maybe you should consider turning your comments into a profitable career．Believe it or not，you can actually get paid to wear the pajamas．（63）D，these professional sleepers participate in a lot of university studies on sleep or dreams，etc．to decide whether the beds are comfortable or not．In 2009during an art show at The New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York，women were paid to sleep as part of a"living art"exhibition，so you never know （64）C you could be asked to rest your head next．If you enjoy your sleep，you probably want to （65）A jobs that lead to sleep withdrawal．

13．There is a growing number of kidults---or adults who wear the mask of maturity but prefer to pander（迎合） to their inner child．
     They feel ill equipped for parenthood，because they don't see what values or lessons they could honestly pass on to their young，besides self-centeredness and a passion for the good things in life．They are trying to live by not acting their age．
    As Ms Jane put it in her letter：I am married，in my late 20s and enjoy a lifestyle other married graduate couples enjoy：winning and 2016 dining，tasteful clothes，travel and a career．Why give up all these for a baby？
    It is reported that when asked whether they were adults，most people in their 20s answered they were not sure．This reflected a global economy in which people chased more papers to get better jobs that would comfortably support middle class living．
    Being a kidult is not all about being selfish，though．With the untold uncertainties of war，fluctuating（波动）markets，disease and terrorism，many see this world as a poor place to live in-let alone bring kids up in．This seems especially so in urban living．All anyone wants after a long，hard day at work is some peace and quiet．
    My classmate，Jenny，mused（沉思）recently how our friends living in small Malaysian towns were onto their second or third kids．Maybe they just loved having children around．Or maybe，in their own way，they wanted to leave the world a better place than they found it．
     That's how you，I and everyone know we have the chance to breathe air，touch grass and see sky．I think out parents understand that just being alive is an experience worth passing on．
28．What is a kidult in the writer's opinion？B
A．A person who doesn't have a child       
B．An adult who actually has a psychology of a child
C．A child who doesn't want to grow up     
D．A person who doesn't know that what values he has
29．What does the underlined word"paper"in Para.4 mean？C
A．money          B．reputation         C．qualification         D．power
30．The author explains the kidult phenomenon byD
 A．presenting research findings  
B．making comparison  
C．showing her own experience  
D．using examples
31．We can learn from the text that kidultsA．
A．know little what they can pass on to their children   
B．are sure of their abilities for good life
C．living in urban can enjoy more peace             
D．living in small towns know well what they're living for．
12．World's Wonderful Libraries
     How cool can libraries be in an era of iPods and Kindles More than you think．Only if you know where to go．
Central Library
     The Central Library in Seattle is modern and fashionable and has tourists from around the world paying visits and taking tours．It was designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and American designer Joshua Ramus．Tours began in 2006，two years after its opening．
    The library holds various art exhibitions，book signings and other events throughout the year．
    Open：Monday-Thursday 10 a．m-8 p．m，Friday-Saturday 10 a．m-6 p．m，Sunday noon-6 p．m
Trinity College Library
    The Trinity College Library in Dublin is the oldest library in Ireland，founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I．

    Open：Monday-Wednesday 9：30 a．m-5 p．m，Thursday 9：30 a．m-9 p．m，Saturday 9：30 a．m-1 p．m，Sunday closed．
Bibliotheca Alexamdrina
    The Bibliotheca Alexamdrina is the revival（复兴） of the ancient Royal Library of Alexandria，which was the largest and most influential library in the Greek world．It was built by Alexander the Great some 2，300 years ago．
    The new library was reborn in 2002 on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea after 10 years of designing，planning and construction．
    Along with the standard libraries，there are four museums covering science，Arabic Calligraphy，the history of printing and the Greek art．
    Open：Saturday-Thursday 9 a．m-4 p．m．
Stuttgart City Library
   The Stuttgart City Library is controversial．Some say it's innovative，while others say it doesn't match its environment．
Nevertheless，the library is one of the most interesting buildings in Germany．The design of the cubic facility was influenced by the ancient Pantheon in Rome．It serves as a multi-story meeting space that draws natural sunlight through the roof．
    Open：Monday-Saturday 9 a．m--9 p．m
21．Which of the following libraries are open on Friday？A
A．Central Library and Bibliotheca Alexandrina            
B．Stuttgart City Library and Central Library
C．Bibliotheca Alexandrina and Trinity College Library     
D．Trinity College Library and Stuttgart City Library
22．Suppose you are visiting Trinity College Library，you can enjoyAthere．
A．free exhibitions    
B．the oldest Greek art   
C．reading the world's oldest books 
D．reading in the Long Room
23．What is special about the Bibliotheca Alexandrina？A
A．It took 10 years to rebuild                   
B．It is the most influential library in the world
C．It has four museums covering all sorts of art     
D．It used to be an ancient royal British library．
11．A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children．Although rather shocking，it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlours （客厅 ） where loved pets rest．Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way？No，the English，too，pay more attention to their pets．
    This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods，which often contain more vitamins than hu-man food．They certainly cost much．Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone，to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture．It is difficult not to feel angry  about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty，so it is not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog in-stead of his children．
      There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming．They cause physical problems．
 An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave  on the streets．Many people find this funny，but in a number of large cities it is a major problem．Ani-mals can cause disease，too．It is the threat of rabies-a disease with no known cure．
     Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners．Most little children want a dog or a cat，and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one．It is only when the"sweet little thing"has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on"Rover"or"Bonzo"．Then they just abandon it．As a result，they are allowed to run free．English farm-
 ers lose hundreds of sheep a year，killed by someone's pet and you must have read of children being  hurt by some pets of their own．
       Lastly，I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be  done about it．In my view，it's time we stopped being sentimental about pets．I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments．This will lead us to discovering  cures for serious human diseases，then I say，"keep cutting!"
