    1.【错解分析】典型错误:B .错因分析:由于区分不开damage与destroy而误选B

    2.【错解分析】典型错误:D .错因分析:如果分不清keep on是及物动词则易误选D

    3.【错解分析】典型错误:B .错因分析:如果忽视前后场景的设置则易误选B.
    【答案解析】A。考查名词词义辨析。大火应该产生热。B表示“能量”；C表示“发烧”；D表示“烧伤”，均不符合句意。

    【答案解析】B。考查动词辨析。能够用于“v．+ sb + that从句”结构的只有A、B项；A项不符合语境。
    7.【错解分析】典型错误:A .错因分析:如果分不清try to do 和manage to do 的区别则易误选A。
    【答案解析】C。考查推测能力。根据后文，Lulu成功救出了4只小猫。
    8.【错解分析】典型错误:B .错因分析:如果忽视前后的场景设置会误选B，其实原来小猫所处的地方并不安全，也就谈不上更安全了。

    9.【错解分析】典型错误:A .错因分析:如果混淆与pick 构成的搭配则可能会误选。
    【答案解析】B。考查动词短语辨析。pick out挑出；pick up接；bring on 引起；bring up抚养。根据上下文“我”同消防人员一起去接那四只被Lulu救了的小猫。

    13. 【错解分析】典型错误:C .错因分析:如果忽视语言文化习惯，按照汉语思维可能会误选C
    【答案解析】B。考查动词词义辨析。这里的意思是：我听出了是我的狗在叫。acknowledge 承认；recognize分辨出，认出，（此处为听出）；hear听见；listen听,不及物。
    14.【错解分析】典型错误:D .错因分析:如果忽视本文场景或主题则可能会误选D

    “Dad! He took a book without paying!” I yelled (大叫). My father looked surprised. Before the boy could say anything, his mother grabbed his arm and shook it. “Is it true? You stole? Tell me!” Everyone was quiet. The boy began to cry, and he nodded (点头) his head. He pulled out the comic book (漫画书) from under his shirt. “Oh, Mr Kim. I am sorry! My Ted made a big mistake!” Mrs Diaz told my father. She tried to take the comic book, but Ted wouldn’t let go. “It’s OK. He can keep it,” my father said with a smile. “Oh, no,” Mrs Diaz said. “Let me pay right now…” She dug in her purse. “How much?” “Three seventy-five.”
    Mrs Diaz’s eyes widened, and she dug deeper. I saw her mouth make a small line. “Three seventy-five?” she asked.
    “It’s OK. You can pay later,” my father said. “No,” Mrs Diaz said. She kept looking in her purse. “I have money here.” I felt bad for yelling, for I realized that Ted had tried to steal the comic book because he didn’t have the money. Maybe the boy could have a job, I thought. I had an idea. “What if he worked with me?” I asked. They turned to me. I said, “He can work with me to pay for the comic book.” “Good,” my father said smiling at me. Mrs Diaz nodded. She turned to her son, “You hear? You will work and buy the comic book!” “ Yes, Mama,” Ted said, hanging his head.
    As they left, Ted looked back, and though he still seemed sad, he stuck out (伸出) tongue at me.
    Ted has been working here for two weeks. He has paid for the comic book, but my father says he is such a good worker that he can work with me as long as he wants. We are friends now.
    小题1:Where did the story most probably take place?
    A．In a classroom.B．In a supermarket.

    A．Ted took the book by mistakeB．Ted wanted to keep the book

    B．had been out of work for a long time

    D．couldn’t afford to pay for the book

    We know that many animals do not stay in one place.Birds,fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time.They move for different reasons:most of them move to find food more easily,but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
    When cold weather comes,many birds move to warmer places to find food.Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed.The most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of fish,which is called “Salmon”.This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water.There it spends its life.When it is old,it returns to its birthplace in fresh water.Then it gives birth and dies there.In northern Europe,there is a kind of mouse.They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded.They move down to the low land.Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside,and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
    Recently,scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster（龙虾）.Every year,when the season of bad weather arrives,the lobsters get into a long time and start to walk across the floor of the ocean.Nobody knows why they do this,and nobody knows where they go.
    So,sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another,but at other times we don’t.Maybe living things just like to travel.
    小题1:Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _________.
    A．give birthB．enjoy warmer water
    C．find food more easilyD．find beautiful places
    小题2:The mice in northern Europe move when _________.
    A．they give birthB．the weather is bad

    小题3:The lobsters move _________.

    When building houses, people used to think about not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.
    Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock（家畜）.During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.
    People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy saving.
    House building becomes a great challenge（挑战）to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy saving houses.
    小题1:What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?
    A．The climate of their areas.
    B．The energy for their houses.
    C．The fashions for their houses.
    D．The building materials for their houses.
    小题2:People in some areas gain a source of heat by _________.
    A．keeping their livestock downstairs
    B．protecting their livestock from the cold
    C．sharing their houses only with their cows
    D．living on the second floor with their livestock
    小题3:The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.
    A．heat raises the temperature in the houses
    B．heat goes in the upward direction
    C．heat goes up if temperature is raised
    D．heat increases the temperature of rocks
    小题4:From the passage, we can conclude that __________.
    A．people will no longer consider building materials in the future
    B．energy saving buildings will become more popular in the future
    C．almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocks
    D．energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology.

    Dog walkers provide a 20 to 60-minute daily walk for a client’s（客户）dog, making sure the dog answers the call of nature and gets proper exercise. They often walk more than one dog at a time. Some walkers work for dog-walking services, especially when starting out. Others have their own businesses, and build by word of mouth and advertising. Dog walkers often work part-time, and some provide other services like pet sitting or transporting.
    In N.Y.C., dog walkers usually earn about $25 an hour. If you work for a dog-walking business, you may earn less-if you are on your own dealing with several dogs at the same time, it may be more.
    What do you have to do to be a dog walker?
    First, have a real love of dogs, and have a good knowledge of how to get on with dogs. Try calling dog-walking services to find out about openings. If you’re on your own, you’ll need to network and market yourself. You might advertise your services in pet offices, grooming businesses, or neighborhood papers. You will need business cards and a mobile phone, and have good references and a clean background. You’ll also have to deal with taxes and insurance. You should be physically fit, friendly, neatly dressed and extremely dependable. Many dog walkers are bonded（被担保的）and insured, and this is a definite selling point to clients.
    Of course, you will be cleaning up dog waste! You will also be outside in all kinds of weather. You may have to deal with dogs that don’t like each other ,and difficult owners. It’s also an up and down kind of business-clients can come and go.
    For pet lovers, spending the workday with dogs instead of navigating office politics is its own reward! You are your own boss-you can dress casually, your doggy clients will love you unconditionally, and you’ll get some great exercise!

    A. take up a weekend job            B. keep a good pet dog
    C. make money in his daily spare time  D. be a part-time office worker
    74. The last paragraph but one (beginning with “Of course”) is meant to tell you         .
    A. what dog-walking is like         B. why dog-walking is worth trying
    C. the unknown part of dog-walking  D. the bad side of dog-walking
