11.Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home?People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight.A recent research has found a new secret of success.According to the study,if the cat is adopted before the dog,and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6months for cats,a year for dogs),it is highly likely that the two pets will get along swimmingly.Twothirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.
However,it wasn't all sweetness and light.There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes,while fighting were observed in 10% of the homes.One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.For example,when a cat turns its head away it signals attacking,while a dog doing the same signals giving in.
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully,researchers observed a surprising behavior.They are learning how to talk each other's language.It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk"dog",and dogs can learn how to talk"cat".
What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence.They can learn to read each other's body signals,suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously thought.Once familiar with each other's presence and body language,cats and dogs can play together,greet each other nose to nose,and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.They can esily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.
The meaning of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets-to people who don't get along,including neighbors,colleagues at work,and even world superpowers.If cats and dogs can learn to get along,surely people have a good chance.
24.The underlined word"swimmingly"in Paragraph 1is closest in meaning toC.
A.early       
B.quickly      
C.sweetly     
D.violently
25.Some cats and dogs may fight whenD.
A.they are cold to each other
B.they look away from each other
C.they are introduced at an early age 
D.they misunderstand each other's signals
26.It is suggested in Paragraph 4  that cats and dogsB.
A.have common interests
B.are less different than what we thought
C.have a common body language
D.are less intelligent than what we expected
27.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A
A.We should learn to live in harmony.
B.We should know more about animals.
C.We should live in peace with animals.
D.We should learn more body languages.

分析 本文是一篇说明文,说明了狗和猫可以和平相处,它们相互学习、理解自己的语言,通过这篇文章,人们也应该和平相处,积极打造和平世界.

解答 24-27.CDBA
24题答案:C考查细节推理,由第一段最后一句Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.受访家庭中的三分之二报道了他们的猫和狗之间的积极关系.可以推出swimmingly一词的含义为sweetly"亲切地;亲密地",故本题答案为C选项.
25题答案:D考查细节推理,由第二段第三行reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite.这样的原因可能是因为他们身体的一些信号恰好相反的.可知本题答案为D选项.
26题答案:B考查细节推理,由第四段第一句话What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence."有趣的是猫和狗似乎都能开发它们的智能…"可知实际上"猫和狗不是我们所想的那样",故本题答案为B选项.
27题答案:A考查细节推理,由最后一段最后一句If cats and dogs can learn to get along,surely people have a good chance.(如果猫和狗能友好相处,那么人当然也有机会)和第一段第一句Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home?(猫和狗能在同一个家里和谐相处吗?)可知本题答案为A选项.

点评 做细节题的关键是找出原文的根据,认真核查题支和原文的异同,常犯错误有:绝对化语言,范围扩大或缩小,以偏概全,张冠李戴等.推断题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力,要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系,对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断;或根据作者所阐述的观点理论,对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释.考生首先要仔细阅读短文,完整了解信息,准确把握作者观点.

19.Fly Alone for the First Time
I began flying lessons at the age of 14; but the Federal Aviation Administration requires you to be 16before you make flight by yourself.So I had to wait for two long years until I could fly a plane by myself.I used that time to master the basic maneuvers (要领) of flying.I learned emergency procedures and practiced hundreds of takeoffs and landings until I could land the airplane smoothly without bouncing it down the runway.It wasn't always easy,and many times I would come home feeling discouraged and thinking maybe everyone was right-I would never learn to fly,but by the next day,I was always eager to try again.
On the day of my 16th birthday,I made my first solo flight,which meant I could finally fly alone.The night before,my dad,who was my flight instructor,explained that the winds were forecast to be high.He said if we were in the air by dawn,the winds would probably be calm enough for me to solo.The next morning it was cold,but the sky was completely clear,and the winds were calm.I expected my dad to stay in the plane for at least three takeoffs and landings.But after the first one,he told me to pull off the runway,and he got out of the plane.
I was alone.As I climbed higher and higher,the world began to change.Everything on the ground became miniature.Houses,cars,and all looked like tiny toys that could fit in the surface of my hand.I made three takeoffs and landings that day.Each landing was perfect.It was one of the happiest days of my life.
Today,as a flight instructor,I stand alongside runways watching as my own students take to the sky on their first solo flights.I understand the joy faces,which always bring me back to that day when my dream came true.I learned that no matter how people tell you that you can't do something,if you believe in yourself,you can succeed.

44.When practicing flying,the authorD.
A.met several times of emergencies 
B.was worried about his own safety
C.couldn't wait to fly alone in the sky 
D.sometimes doubted his ability to fly

B.unclear  
C.small

A.Whether his son was brave enough.
B.Whether it would be too windy.
C.Whether he was able to protect his son.
D.Whether there were negative comments.
47.What lesson does the author learn from his experience?A
A.Be confident and you will succeed.
B.Be responsible and you can grow up.
C.Give up something and you may win more.

16.The world's most popular banana is facing a major health crisis.According to a new study,a disease caused by a powerful fungus(真菌)is killing the Cavendish banana,which accounts for 99% of the banana market around the globe.The disease,called Tropical Race 4 (TR4),has affected banana crops in southeast Asia for decades.In recent years,it has spread to the Middle East and the African nation of Mozambique.Now experts fear the disease will show up in Latin America,where the majority of the world's bananas are grown.
  Once a banana plant is infected with TR4,it cannot get water and nutrients.TR4 lives in soil,and can easily end up on a person's boots.If the contaminated boots are then worn on a field where Cavendish bananas are grown,the disease could be transferred."Once a field has been contaminated with the disease,you can't grow Cavendish bananas there anymore,"Ploetz says.
  Cavendish bananas are popular among consumers.Ploetz says,"Consumers like the way Cavendish looks and tastes."
  But Cavendish is also particularly attacked by TR4."And they are all easily infected with this disease.So once one plant gets infected,it just runs like wildfire throughout that entire plantation."
  Bananas have faced this kind of crisis before.In the mid-1900s,the most popular banana at the time was nearly wiped out by an earlier version of TR4.
  One solution to the problem,Ploetz says,is to try to develop new bananas that can resist TR4."It really needs to be done,but we don't have it yet."He notes that we still have time before we need to worry about the Cavendish banana disappearing.
27.The underlined word"contaminated"in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by"D".
A.replaced    
B.supplied    
C.prevented  
D.infected    
28.If a banana plant is infected with TR4,the banana plant will probably die ofA.
A.thirst       
B.cold       
C.heat       
D.poison
29.We can infer that the disease,called TR4 canA.
A.last for a long time in the soil            
B.be cured easily with chemicals
C.be prevented from spreading easily        
D.damage a person's boots
30.which of the following is the best title?D
A.Hello,Bananas!
B.Say No to Bananas!
C.Bananas or TR4?
D.Bye-Bye,Bananas?

3.One of my main concerns when I am helping people achieve their goals is how they measure success.I see individuals getting frustrated as they struggle hard for success.
One of the main reasons that cause this frustration is that people allow their definition of success to be determined by someone or something else.Another is that they become frustrated at their own apparent lack of success when comparing themselves to other people.
We are individuals with individual wants,skills and experiences.We should look at our own skills to determine what is successful to us.We should look inwards to determine what it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind rather than someone else's.
Evaluating a successful person needs to look at his pathway to success,his actions,his determination and translate that into his own experience to see how he can improve himself.
You must set your own course of action,and stay on your course.You alone must determine what success means to you.Do what you do to the best of your ability and the rest will take care of itself.For example,I believe that I am successful but I am not a millionaire!Others may not see me as successful in their eyes but that does not matter.It is how I see myself that is important to me and my life.
Here is the truth.Being a success is doing your best,not being the best.Success is not something you become; it is something you continue being.
When we get to that point,we will experience a lot more joy and a lot less frustration.And that sounds good to us!
Remember the great quote from Napoleon Hill,"If you cannot do great things,do small things in a great way."
25.What's the best title of this passage?C
A.Frustration Determines Success
B.The Importance of Frustration to Success
C.How to Measure Success
D.Evaluations of a Successful Person
26.In terms of success,the writer thinks people feel frustrated because theyD
A.struggle too hard               
B.know little about others
C.are often discouraged          
D.underestimate themselves
27.According to the passage the writer advises us toC.
A.attach the importance to others'attitude and evaluation
B.learn from others,failure
C.set a proper goal and work hard to realize it
D.look at others'skills to determine what is successful to us.

With the cold weather season rapidly approaching, caring for dry skin may become more challenging. Here are some tips on how to protect your skin and keep it healthy throughout the colder months of the year.

1.

Avoid harsh(刺激性的) cleansers containing sulfates or alcohol, and choose a gentle cleanser. Harsh cleansers may disrupt the PH balance of your skin and cause dryness.

Switch to a face oil

2. In order to avoid dryness, rub about 3 to 5 drops of oil the palm of your hands and then gently pat it into the skin. Face oils offer the benefit of conditioning the skin and protecting it from the cold air.

Exfoliate(去死皮)

Exfoliating is very important because it helps to get rid of dead skin cells and encourages skin cell renewal. 3. However, especially when the skin is feeling extra dry, it is important to use a gentle product and not to overdo it.

4.

If you don’t feel thirsty and struggle with taking in enough liquids, try to drink tea, sweetened with a little raw honey. Dehydrated skin cells have a slower turnover rate, which results in dull skin and more visible fine lines.

5. The most advantage is that you will spend the cold season with comfort and confidence.

A. Drink plenty of water

B. Eat homemade soups

C. Use mild facial cleansers

D. Follow the above tips, you may own nice skin and look better.

E. Here are three of the most common example of skin discomfort.

F. After cleansing your face, your skin still takes the risk of dryness.

G. Moreover, dead skin cells won’t allow your face oil to enter the skin deeply.
