Directions: Complete the following passage by using ONE
word for each blank that best fits the
context.
When you take a walk in any of
the cities in the West, you often see a lot of people walking dogs. 48 is still true
that a dog is the 49 useful and faithful animal in the world, 50 the reason why people
keep a dog has
changed. In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves
against animal attacks. And later they came to realize that a dog was not 51 useful
for protection but willing to obey his master. But now people in the city need
not protect themselves against attacks of animals. 52
do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect
themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is 53 companionship. A dog is his best friend for
54 child when he has no friends to play with. For
young couples, a dog is their child when they have 55 children. For
old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up.
PART THREE
READING COMPREHENSION
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each
passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of
them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the one that fits
best according to the information given in the passage.
A
Prague
Prague is an ancient European
city, featuring one of the most magnificent Old Towns in Europe,
along with delicious food, inexpensive shopping and friendly people. Prague is also famous as
being home to one of the most famous 20th century writers, Franz Kafka. The
famous Czech beer is also one of the reasons to visit Prague.
The narrow streets of the older parts of the town are appealing
the visitors to take nice long walk and settle in some of the many restaurants,
which offer top-quality foods at a low price. The buildings there are mostly
tower-shaped，and so Prague is called “city of a hundred spires.”
Mauritius
Also known as the Paradise on Earth,
Mauritius lies about 560
miles (900 km) east
of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. It is a place of magnificent natural beauty
coupled with excellent customer service, which makes for an unforgettable
romantic experience at the edge of the world’s warmest ocean.
There are lots to see and do in Mauritius: the coral
reefs (珊瑚礁) surrounding
the island offer stunning beauty and great underwater adventures to those who
want to dive into the precious waters. The nature of Mauritius mostly resembles that of Paradise,
allowing every couple visiting this island to feel like Adam and Eve. That is
an experience nobody would want to miss!
Cyprus
The very name Cyprus, it has been said, glitters
with an age-old myth. Today, history and hedonism (快乐论) are comfortably mixed on the island. Some five-star
resorts within walking distance of well-preserved Greek and Roman ruins offer
the convenience the modern traveler has come to expect.
Cyprus features a
romantic history, as it was Anthony’s gift to his beloved Cleopatra during the
glorious days of the Roman Empire. Maybe that
is why you feel always a little special once you set foot on Cyprus.
