James was a curious young man. Everywhere he went, he liked to observe things and to __21__ people—what they did, what they said and what they wore. Subconsciously, he was making quick __22__ all the time. He couldn’t really __23__ it; it just happened.

For example, he once saw a man whose body was __24__ with tattoos(文身). That man was strong and walked proudly. James imagined his __25__ people up, sometimes with sticks and sometimes with his hands, speaking __26__ words each time he opened his mouth. A troublemaker, perhaps, James __27__ to himself.

Sometimes James felt __28__ for judging others this way, but that feeling was __29__ and never really lasted.

Then, one day, he saw a woman seated alone in a café. The woman was __30__, quite fat, and although she was not __31__, James could tell she was a short lady. __32__, James glanced across at her, looking at her from top to bottom. As his eyes reached her __33__, he got a shock.

There she was, on her left foot, wearing a platform shoe that was at least 3 inches high. __34__ could such a little middle-aged lady who was average-looking at best be so vain as to wear high platforms? Look beautiful? In that short moment of time, __35__ thoughts flowed through James’ mind.

A second later, James’ eyes naturally moved across to the lady’s right foot. And there, he got an even bigger __36__. ----It was a flat shoe. She was not vain; she had a birth defect(缺陷) ----uneven length of her legs. If anything, she deserved __37__ and understanding, certainly not blame, not even mental ones.

James was __38__ with guilt. It was a(n) __39__ lesson he learned about not __40__ conclusions, about not judging people, especially so quickly.

A．out of shapeB．out of breathC．out of controlD．out of order

Question: I have a one-year-old female bulldog, who has recently taken to biting my shoes when we are in the park and I’m on the mobile. She can be slightly aggressive and I’m starting to get worried and a bit annoyed. How do I stop her? ----Susan, London.

Answer: You need to get this problem under control before it could escalate (恶化). I always advise owners not to talk on the mobile phone when they go for a walk with their dogs, because they should be focusing on this time with their pets, but I know people have busy lives and need to make phone calls.

The behavior she is showing is either controlling or playfulness, but they both result from the same issue ---- you are not paying attention to her. If you must make phone calls while on a walk, try to still engage with your dog by speaking towards her, playing some sorts of game and so on. If that doesn’t work, you’ll have to try more of a training approach.

You will need a training line and some treats. Start your walk in the usual way, make a phone call, and when your dog starts displaying the undesired behavior, simply stop walking --- otherwise she will see it as a game. When she is calm and looking at you, or if she sits, give her a treat; then continue walking. If she starts up again, pick up the lead, gently pull it, and tell her “no”.  Then ask her to sit and give her a treat if she does.

The aim of this is to try to get her to forget how much fun it is biting your shoes. Do little sessions every day --- and try not to answer the phone if you know it’s going to be a long conversation. Be patient and good luck!

Remember that if an animal shows signs of distress or discomfort, an early visit to the vet is always recommended.

A．the owner isn’t paying attention to her

B．the owner often makes trouble for the dog

C．the owner plays some dull games with her

D．the owner doesn’t like the pet dog any more

3.The solution to dealing with the distress or discomfort of pets is to _____.

A．talk with them regularly

B．take them to see the vet

C．play games with them

D．let them bite your shoes

4.How can Susan get her pet dog to forget the fun from biting her shoes?

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、D中选出最佳选项

Until the invention of the steam engine, humans travelled the earth on foot．The slow travel meant explorers frequently returned with stories about distant lands: some of them wild tales, some honest descriptions.

Barbara Klion, who has retired, knows what that’ like．As a walker who has toured Australia ,Kenya and China on foot ,her trips are the modern edition of an ancient tradition for years．Klion and her husband ,now 75 and 80 years old travelled independently.

Walkers know seeing the world on foot gives them a rare experience．Often travelers are attracted by local people and customs．They also get a  beautiful and lasting impression of the scenery．Walking tours can be done in one’s backyard, but there are several destinations around the world that expose travelers to the best of nature and culture

What to look for ? A famous guide says the essential of a quality walk are great scenery, tolerable weather ,suitable level of difficulty and something like ecology ,history or culture．These may seem like unclear instructions , but the fun of walking tours is that many things are determined by the traveler.

Someone who appreciates hot climates ,wildlife and flat areas could choose a walking tour in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park．Travelers who don’t mind the cold and enjoy adventure could hike Patagonia, an area of southern Argentina  east of the Andes.

In general ,independent travelers can decide how far to go each day, while guests of a tour agency should expect to walk an average of four to eight miles a day．At the Fordland National Park ,for example, there are several easy-to-difficult hikes, giving travelers many choices.
