My father  33  a gene which,in most cases,results in blindness. I’d inherited the gene. He gradually  34  his eyesight and so did I. At last we were both  35  blind—he was fifty-seven years old, 36  I was only twenty-eight.

My father had  41  me not just failing eyesight,but an example of  42  in the face of hardships as well. We were all living in Bolivia in 1964 when he decided to  43  the family to America. He worked tirelessly to  44 the right of living in the US.

I’m a pig, and my son is a rabbit. I have snakes for daughters, and my wife, believe it or not, is a dragon! Do I live in a zoo? No, of course not! I am talking about Chinese zodiac signs(十二生肖). Depending on the year of your birth, each person has an animal for a sign. That’s why I am a pig and my wife is a dragon. If you, like me, were born in the year of the pig, then you are brave, thoughtful and loyal. The year of the pig is filled with good fortune.

   Now let’s take a closer look at this interesting animal.

   Pigs were first raised by man about 9,000 years ago, and are still a very common farm animal in many parts of the world. We don’t just use pigs for their meat — almost every part of the animal is used. The hair is used for artists’ brushes. The fat is used to make floor wax, rubber and plastics.

    Pigs have also been important in the world of entertainment. In 1995 the film ‘Babe’ starred a loveable talking pig as its main character. The film won an Oscar and was nominated (提名)for 6 more. In England you can even go to watch pig racing. A farmer, Rob Shepherd, has been raising money for charity by holding pig races on his farm. The events have been very successful. People don’t just want to eat pigs, it seems!

    Pigs also play an important role in the English language. For example, if someone says that he will travel to the sun one day, you can say “pigs might fly!” to him. Hungry? Well then, you can “pig out” and eat lots of food. And what if someone rescues you? Well, you can say that they “saved your bacon”.

1. The writer wrote the first paragraph in a ______ tone.

  A. sad      B. confused        C. serious     D. humorous

2. We may know from the passage that ______.

  A. people in England like pigs more than other animals

  B. pigs are more useful than ordinary people imagine

  C. pigs are the first animals raised by man

  D. more people don’t want to eat pigs now

3.The underlined sentence “pigs might fly!” in the fifth paragraph means “______”.

  A. What you have just said is impossible

  B. Pigs are great animals

  C. I don’t understand your words

  D. I can’t agree with you more

4.Which diagram shows the structure(结构) of the passage?

         

     A         B        C          D

第三部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

  阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

  Chinese cigarette packs will have skulls(骷髅),blackened teeth or diseased lungs printed on them in the latest effort to deal with smoking,but one expert said the images may actually attract younger people to take up the habit.

  The images would have to take up at least 30 percent of the pack's surface area under rrules that would come into force from January 2009.It was part of a plan that would also see tobacco advertising banned in China by 2011.Similar images are already printed on packs in countries including Singapore,Thailand and Canada.

  Chinese are the world's most enthusiastic smokers,with a growing market of more than 300 million making it a magnet for cigarette companies and a focus of international health concern.China has banned smoking on public transport,but it is still allwed in many public places such as restaurants,and it is not uncommon to see people smoking in hospitals.

  The average age people take up smoking in some parts of the country had hallen to as low as just over 10.And the new measures could make the problem worse,according to Zhao Cuiping,a youth expert."In analysis over the past decade(十年) on what young people like,they far prefer skulls and other scary images to cats or dogs,"she said.

  Chinese cigarettes are also among the cheapest in the world and a packet can cost as little as eight US. cents.

  The country needs to take effective measures to cut down smoking or the habit could end up killing 2.2 million Chinese a year by 2020,the World Health Organization said in May.

  56.The new designs will be adopted on cigarette packs ______.

   A.to attract young people     B.increase tobacco sales

   C.as trade mardks           D.as health warnings

  57.We can infer from the article that nobody is allowed to smoke while _____ in China now.

   A.staying in a hospital B.taking a bus ride C.eating outsede D.walking in the street

  58.Zhao Cuiping seemed to think that teenagers would ______.

   A.enjoy the new cigarette packs

   B.dislike the new measures

   C.be the last to give up their smoking habit

   D.prefer to have pet animals on the packs

  59.All the paragraphs support the idea that China's smoking problem is serious except ____.

   A.Paragraph 1 B.Paragraphs 1 and 2 C.Paragraphs 1and 5 D.Paragraphs 2,5 and 6
