         In their book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, Robert and Brenda Vale say
    keeping a medium-sized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10000 km a year in a 4.6 liter Land
    Cruiser.
         "We're not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. We're just saying that we need to think about and
    know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted."
         Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land, while growing and
    manufacturing a dog's food takes about O.84 hectares-or l.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a
    German shepherd.
         Convincing flesh-eating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a non-starter, the
    Vales say. Instead they recommend keeping "greener", smaller, and more sustainable pets, such as goldfish,
    chickens or rabbits.
         The book's playful title, and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully "recycled", by being eaten
    by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not appeal to animal fans.
         Annoying as the idea may be, the question is valid given the planet's growing population and limited resource
    s, Robert Vale said. 
         "Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices
    which are as difficult as eating your dog. It's not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to
    the supermarket," he said.
         "It's about much more challenging and difficult issues," he added. "Once you see where cats and dogs fit
    in your overall balance of things, you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two cars and the
    three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself."

    1. The authors gave their book the playful title to _____.
    [     ]
    A. make it amusing
    B. create a vivid image
    C. show writing skills
    D. arouse people's concern
    2. In Paragraph 3 the writer mainly wants to tell us _____.
    [     ]
    A. the amount of consumed land
    B. the neglected ecological impact
    C. some familiar examples
    D. some actual figures
    3. What does "sustainability" mean according to the passage?
    [     ]
    A. Going vegetarian.
    B. Raising cats and dogs.
    C. Using a cloth bag.
    D. Keeping a greener life.
    4. Who may not like the idea of "recycling" pet animals?
    [     ]
    A. Manufacturers.
    B. Drivers.
    C. Animal fans.
    D. The authorities.
    5. What do the authors think of living a sustainable life?
    [     ]
    A. Challenging.
    B. Inspiring.
    C. Inviting.
    D. Touching.

         Buster Brown was a thief-and a good one, too, he thought. He'd never been caught
    by the police because he never took chances. He was always prepared for any
    unforeseen event or emergency.
         Confidently, he stood outside the house of his intended victim (受害者) and read the sign on the front gate
    of the house. "Don't worry about the dog-be aware of the owner!" it said. Buster smiled and found his way in.
         The house looked quite normal outside, but inside it was very exotic with fascinating objects on display. As
    he began putting them into his bag, a dog came into the room. It stopped when it saw Buster, then wagged its
    tail madly and went over to him, licking his outstretched hand.
         "Good boy," Buater whispered. "What a great guard dog you are-trying to lick me to death."
         Satisfied he'd made friends with the dog, Bluster began to wander round the house, choosing items to put
    in his bag. His skilled eye picked out only the best antiques (古董): a pair of silver candleholders, a silver tea-and-
    coffee service, etc..His new friend, the dog, sat and watched, as if wondering what was happening.
         "Well,boy," Buster whispered, finally. "That might do. Any more and I won't be able to carry it!" He swung
    the heavy bag onto his shoulders, just as the lights came on, nearly blinding him. He shielded his eyes with his
    hand.
         "You're a very silly person," the figure in the doorway said. As the man came closer, Buster could see he
    was well dressed. His face seemed familiar, but Buster couldn't quite place where he had seen him before.
         "You should have taken more notice of the sign outside," the man rasped. "I knew about this attempted
    robbery last week and I also know you will end up behind bars for 20 years. Fancy trying to rob the house of
    the world's greatest fortune-teller!"
    1. Why was Buster so confident?
    A. He was not afraid of dogs.
    B. He knew the owner of the house lived alone.
    C. He had never been caught by the police.
    D. The house had no security alarm.
    2. Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the word "exotic" in the third paragraph?
    A. Messy and untidy.
    B. Rich and expensive.
    C. Comfortable and calming.
    D. Foreign and unusual.
    3. How did Buster decide which objects to take?
    A. He took those that were easy to carry in his bag.
    B. He took only the best antiques.
    C. He took those that he knew he could sell easily.
    D. He looked for silver objects.
    4. What punishment waits for Buster Brown?
    A. A prison sentence with hard labour.
    B. A long prison sentence.
    C. A heavy fine.
    D. Community service for 20 years.

         "Good evening, everybody!" said the teacher, Donna. "Where is everybody?" That was sort of a daily
    joke by Donna. Usually the class started with only two or three students present, and then filled up as the
    minutes went by. It was summertime. Summer school was only eight weeks long. Class attendance was
    always smaller than during fall and spring semesters.
         "I don't know, teacher. Maybe they late or no come," said one student. "Maybe watching TV football
    tonight."
         "Is there a soccer game tonight? It seems like there's a soccer game every night. Oh, well. Let's get
    started, okay? We're on page 36 in the workbook. Tonight we're studying participles as adjectives. Students
    are always confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we will practice this a lot.
    Tonight, we're just going to practice the present participle.
         "The present participle tells us what emotion or feeling the subject is causing. For example, 'Grammar
    is boring' means that the subject-grammar-causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, 'The movie is
    interesting,' we are saying that the movie causes a feeling of interest. If we say, 'The roller coaster is exciting,'
    we are saying that the roller coaster causes a feeling of excitement. Any questions so far? Am I confusing
    you? Is everyone confused?"
         The classroom was quiet. Donna looked at blank faces. They were confused. She knew this would take
    a while. But eventually, the faster students would grasp it, and then they would help the slower students. By
    the end of the evening, most of the class would feel comfortable using the present participle.
         Donna erased the board and put some new examples on it. She loved guiding her students through difficult
    topics like this one. She always felt a little bit thrilled when the look of understanding came to their faces.
    1. What do you think the class is about?
    A. Going over homework.
    B. English grammar.
    C. Football.
    D. British culture.
    2. We can infer from the first paragraph that _____ in summer time.
    A. some students are often late for school
    B. some students often watch football games with the teacher
    C. more students often ask for leave
    D. more students often go to school
    3. The underlined work "blank" probably means _____.
    A. excited
    B. interested
    C. confused
    D. pleased
    4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. Donna was experienced in teaching English grammar.
    B. Donna made the students practice using the present participle.
    C. Donna didn't use any examples to help the students.
    D. Donna made herself understood at last.

    School tragedy
         A man wounded eight school children to death and injured five others while they were waiting at their
    school gate in Nanping City, Fujian Province, on the morning of March 23.
         Police arrested(put somebody into prison) 43-year-old suspect (嫌犯) Zheng Mingsheng, a former
    community doctor in Nanping. Zheng is a native of Nanping and used to work at the Mazhan Community
    clinic (诊所), before quitting his job in June 2009.
         The local prosecutor (检查官) said on March 24, Zheng, who showed no sign of any mental illness in
    conversation, told investigators (people who were looking into the case) that he developed hatred (feeling
    of hating somebody or something) toward society after failing to find a job and breaking up with his
    girlfriend.
    A Spring Festival
         Water-Sprinkling Festival, which comes in mid-April, is the new year of the Dai ethnic people (傣族人)
    in southwest China's Yunnan Province. In face of the recent serious drought disaster, there have been calls
    for calling off this year's festival celebrations.
         Droughts and floods are not new things. Still, the Water-Sprinkling Festival keeps going on year by year.
    Indeed, this is a serious drought, but that is not a reason to call off this year's celebrations. After all, it is an
    important event for Dai people to carry forward their culture.
         Of course, the drought will affect the celebrations to some extent. Given the seriousness of the disaster,
    this year not so much water is available for sprinkling. So many Dai people suggest only symbolic activities
    be held. They also call for donations to be made and prayer ceremonies for rain around the festival. This is
    expected to be a special Water-Sprinkling Festival.
    Coalmine Disaster
        A coalmine operated by Dongxing Coalmining Co. in Xinmi, Henan Province, where an underground fire
    killed 25 miners on March 15 became a public concern.
         A local work safety regulator said the mine should have been going through technical reforms, but restarted
    production without a license.
         After the tragedy, the police detained (扣押) an investor and several senior managing persons of the
    coalmine. Four officials who are believed to have failed to perform their managing roles effectively, including
    a vice mayor of Xinmi, were removed from their posts.
    1. The suspect created a bloody case mainly because _____.
    A. he caused a medical accident during an operation in the clinic and was fired
    B. his girlfriend left him and married a teacher in that school
    C. he became mentally disturbed after a set of failures in finance
    D. he hated the whole society deeply after a series of failure in personal life
    2. What happened to Dai people this year? _____.
    A. Their Water-Sprinkling festival was called off thanks to the drought in Yunnan
    B. They had to celebrate their annual Spring Festival simply without enough water
    C. People throughout our country only donated to those earthquake-stricken areas in Qinghai
    D. Their prayers for rain didn't come true
    3. _____ probably led to Dongxing Coalmine disaster according to paragraph 2.
    A. the restarting production without necessary technical and safety gurantees (保障)
    B. an underground fire
    C. the officials' failure to inspect the safety conditions of the coalmine
    D. the bad management of Dongxing Coalmining Co. in Xinmi, Henan Province
    4. Where can the news possibly be taken from?
    A. A magazine about natural disasters
    B. A newspaper on culture and custom
    C. A news review magazine

         Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This
    kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for
    years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.
         The first kind of loneliness is temporary (暂时的). This is the most common type. It usually disappears
    quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result
    or a particular situation-for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place.
    Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually
    does not last for more than a year.
         The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic (长期的) loneliness usually
    last more than two yeas and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems
    socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lone people think there is little or
    nothing they can do to improve their condition.
         Psychologists (心理学家) agree that one important fact in loneliness is a person's social contacts, e.g,
    friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance,
    our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar
    interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lone people may have many social
    contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity.
         Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy
    and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart
    disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness
    can be a very sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.
    1. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?
    [     ]
    A. Talk to friends
    B. Just ignore it
    C. Go to see a doctor
    D. Ask your teachers for guidance
    2. The topic of the 4th paragraph is that _____.
    [     ]
    A. lonely people don't have many friends
    B. lonely people don't have many social problems
    C. one problem of loneliness is a person's social contacts
    D. we depend on various people for different reasons
    3. Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?
    [     ]
    A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problems
    B. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness
    C. Chronic loneliness cannot be overcome
    D. A, B, and C are all correct
    4. What is the best title of the passage?
    [     ]
    A. Three kinds of Loneliness
    B. Loneliness and Diseases
    C. Loneliness and Social Contacts
    D. Chronic Loneliness
