【解析】文章大意:作者用自己的亲身经历告诉我们,动物有时候可能会感觉到人类无法感知的事情,如某些潜在的危险等。有一次,当作者带着小狗散步时,天突然下起雨来,于是作者跑到公交站台底下躲雨。可是,小狗却扯着他(她)的裤腿催其离开。最终,小狗救了它的主人一命。
(1)根据上下文语境可知,此处表示并列关系,besides“除此之外(还有)”符合语境。
(2) A、certain“某些,某一”符合语境。句意:我相信它们能感觉到某些人类无法感知的事情。
(3)根据上下文可知,C项正确,即一次亲身经历向我证明了这一点(它们能感觉到某些人类无法感知的事情)。
(4)A项意为“与……谐音”符合语境,即我们给小狗起名Howard以和coward(胆小鬼)谐音。
(5)根据第二段内容可知,Howard非常胆小,害怕闪电,因此D项正确。
(6)once此处表示“有一次”,符合语境,即接下来作者开始讲述那次发生的事情。
(7) shelter意为“遮盖物,避难所,藏身地”,符合语境。根据文章内容可知,当下雨时,“我”跑到公交站台底下躲雨。再根据第三段最后一句“...from the shelter...”可知,C项正确。
(8)根据下文内容可知,小狗是在暗示“我”离开那个危险的地方,它只有用牙齿咬住“我”的裤子,而不是衣领、袖子或帽子。
(9)根据上下文可知,刚开始时(at first)“我”由于不知道小狗的意图,所以感到奇怪并生气。
(10) behavior意为“行为”,符合语境,即“我”对它咬“我”裤子的行为感到不理解、生气。
(11) head for“前往”,即往家里走去。
(12)当“我”离开站台大约200米时,看见了一道雪亮的闪电。
(13)根据常理可知,闪电过后不久(soon after)便会听到雷声。
(14) deafen“使变聋”,指雷声很大。
(15) bent意为“弯下腰”,即弯下腰将处于恐惧中的小狗抱起来。
(16)根据上下文可知,C项正确,即当“我”抱起小狗站起身时,(不经意地)望了一眼刚才躲雨的站台。glare at“怒视”;stare at“凝视”;glance at“很快地看一眼”;aim at“意图,旨在”。
(17) 根据第三段第四句“...by metal poles.”可知,D项poles指柱子,即上文“我”刚才躲雨的那个站台下的柱子。
(18)根据语境可知,A项正确,即支撑站台的两根柱子断裂了。
(19)根据文章内容和本句前半句“I gave Howard a big hug”可知,“我”感谢小狗救了“我”一命。
(20)小狗Howard救了“我”一命,所以“我”认为它是“我”的英雄。

How to Prepare for an Exam
There's no need to be tense (紧张的) or cram (死记硬背). By doing a couple simple things ahead you can ensure that you are confident and ready for anything that comes up on the test.
After you have taken notes from studying all of your material including the book and your notes, use that information to make flash cards. Turn statements into questions
Quiz yourself. Once everything is written down on flashcards, quiz yourself with the cards. Keep reviewing the questions that you get wrong until you get them right. You can carry flashcards around with you and quiz yourself when you're on the subway or riding in the car. Definitely continue to quiz yourself until you get them all right.
Do practice questions. Practice doing the questions in the book that you were assigned for homework. Do extra questions in the back of the book. Re-do questions that you got wrong, and try to figure out why you got them wrong. Do practice questions until you feel more comfortable with subject matter.
On the day of the exam, set your alarm at least two hours before the test. Scientists believe that a good night's rest is the key to better test scores. An hour and a half before the exam, start running through all the themes and sub-topics in your head. Like always, check your notes if you get stuck. Use your flashcards to help you commit all the tiny details to memory if they're not already memorized. If you're given yourself enough time to study, you should feel well prepared and relaxed.
A. Goon a balanced diet.
B. Take exercise and keep it up.
C. Make flash cards.
D. This is especially helpful for subjects such as math.
E. You might quiz yourself for a half hour or so, then take a break
F. Stop studying at least 15 minutes before the exam, but an hour is preferable.
G. Preparing for an exam can be stressful and time-consuming, but it doesn't have to be.

【题目】阅读理解
China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors --- silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
(1)According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A.Because they are traditional and safe.
B.Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C.Because they are colorful and available.
D.Because they are fast and environment friendly.
(2)The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended __________.
A.to ride it for fun
B.to use it for transport
C.to experience local culture
D.to improve his riding skills
(3)How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A.It was boring.
B.It was difficult.
C.It was lively.
D.It was wonderful.
(4)Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience
A.The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B.The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C.The author was praised by the other bikers.
D.The author took great pleasure in biking.
