19．Dear Lee，
As I told you，I'll be gone until Wednesday morning．Thank you so much for taking on my"children"while I'm away．Like real children，they can be kind of irritating sometimes，but I'm going to enjoy myself so much more knowing they're getting some kind human attention．Remember that Regina （the"queen"in Latin，and she acts like one） is teething．If you don't watch her，she'll chew anything，including her sister，the cat．There are plenty of chew toys around the house．Whenever she starts gnawing on anything illegal，just divert her with one of those．She generally settles right down to a good hour-long chew．Then you'll see her wandering around whimpering with the remains of the toy in her mouth．She gets really frustrated because what she wants is to bury the thing．She'll try to dig a hole between the cushions of the couch．Finding that unsatisfactory，she'll wander some more，discontent，until you solve her problem for her．I usually show her the laundry basket，moving a few clothes so she can bury her toy beneath them．I do sound like a parent，don't I？You have to understand，my own son is practically grown up．
Regina's food is the Puppy Chow in the utility room，where the other pet food is stored．Give her a bowl once in the morning and once in the evening．No more than that，no matter how much she begs．Beagles（獵犬） are notorious overeaters，according to her breeder，and I don't want her to lose her girlish figure．She can share Rex （the King's） water，but be sure it's changed daily．She needs to go out several times a day，especially last thing at night and first thing in the morning．Let her stay out for about ten minutes each time，so she can do all her business．She also needs a walk in the afternoon，after which it's important to romp with her for awhile in the yard．The game she loves most is fetch，but be sure to make her drop the ball．She'd rather play tug of war with it．Tell her，"Sit!"Then，when she does，say，"Drop it!"Be sure to tell her"good girl，"and then throw the ball for her．I hope you'll enjoy these sessions as much as I do．
Now，for the other two，Rex and Paws…（letter continues）
 
66．The tone of this letter is best described asA．
A．chatty and humorous                 
B．logical and precise
C．confident and trusting                  
D．humble and preachy
67．The information in the note is sufficient to determine that there are three animals．They areC．
A．two cats and a dog                  
B．three dogs
C．a(chǎn) dog，a cat，and an unspecified animal
D．a(chǎn) cat，a dog，and a parrot
68．From the context of the note，it is most likely that the name"Rex"isD．
A．Spanish          B．English        C．French        D．Latin
69．If the sitter is to follow the owner's directions in playing fetch with Regina，at what point will he or she tell Regina"good girl"？D
A．Every time Regina goes after the ball
B．After Regina finds the ball．
C．When Regina brings the ball back
D．After Regina drops the ball．

分析 本文用幽默的語調(diào)主要講述了我即將出門，囑托李照顧我的"孩子"--即我的寵物們，交代了李一些注意事項(xiàng)，以及表達(dá)對(duì)他的感謝．

解答 66．A  理解推斷題，本文講述了我離開家，感謝李對(duì)我的"孩子"即寵物的照顧，可以看出我是用健談的和幽默的語調(diào)寫這封信的，故選A．
67．C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)Remember that Regina （the"queen"in Latin，and she acts like one） is teething．；Beaglesincluding her sister，the cat；BeaglesBeagles are notorious overeaters；可知作者提到了三種動(dòng)物，一個(gè)未說明種類，一只貓和一條獵犬，故選C．
68．D  理解推斷題，根據(jù)上文Remember that Regina （the"queen"in Latin，and she acts like one） is teething．可知Regina是拉丁文中女王的意思，因此Rex最有可能是拉丁文，故選D．
69．D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)She'd rather play tug of war with it．Tell her，"Sit!"Then，when she does，say，"Drop it!"Be sure to tell her"good girl，"可知當(dāng)Regina將球放下的時(shí)候?qū)λf好女孩，故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文考察日常生活類閱讀，要把握好人物的活動(dòng)內(nèi)容，時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)，根據(jù)題目中關(guān)鍵詞尋找文中答案，查找文中細(xì)節(jié)后作出合理推斷．

13．Some people seem easy to understand：their character appears obvious on first meeting．Appearances，however，can be deceptive．For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen．I don't know very much about them．I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right．I think they must have small insight or great vanity．For my own part I find that the longer I know people，the more they puzzle me．
I read in this morning's paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died．He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years．Once he gave me a great surprise．Unless I had heard the story from his own lips，I'd never have velieved that he was capable of such an action．He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and position．He didn't talk much，but what he said was sensible．Tou couldn't imagine he'd possible raise his voice in anger．Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows．He'd tell with point a good and spicy story，and in his youth he'd been something of an athete．He was a rich man and he'd made every penny himself．I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so weak； he arounsed your instinets（本能）of protection．You felt he couldn't bear to hurt a fly．
    One afternoon Burton told me a"funny"story in a quiet，dry humour：
"There was a namesake（同名人）of mine，who was the best bridge player I ever met．He  seemed to  have a fantastic instinct about the cards．I used to play with him a lot．"
"He was handsome in a way with curly hair and pink-and-white cleeks．Women thought a lot of him．There was no harm in him，he was only wild．Pf course he drank too much．He won a good deal of my money by card-playing．"
"One day he came to me when he went broke．He came to see me in my office and asked me for a job．I asked him how old he was．
"'Thirty-five'，he said．"
"'And what have you been doing hitherto？'I asked him．
"'Well，nothing very much，'he said．
"'I'm afraid I can't do anything for you just yet，'I said．'Come back and see me in another thirty-five years，and I'll see what I can do．'
"He didn't move．He went rather pale．He hesitated for a moment and then he told me that he had had bad luck at cards for some time．He hadn't been willing to stick to bridge，he'd been playing poker，and he'd got trimmed．He hadn't a penny．He'd pawned everything he had．He couldn't pay his hotel bill and they wouldn't give him any more credit．He was down and out．If he couldn't get something to do he'd have to commit suicide．
"I looked at him for a bit．I could see now that he was all to pieces．He'd been drinking more than usual and he looked fifty．The girls wouldn't have thought so much of him if they'd seen him then．
"I got some glimmering of what he was driving at．I've known too many men who were little tin gods at their university．
"Suddenly I had an idea．"Pausing in his story，Burton turned to me．"When I was young I swam over three miles round the beacon（燈塔）and landed at the river of Tarumi．It's rather difficult on account of the currents round the beacon．Well，I told my young fellow about it and I said that if he'd do it I'd give him a job．
"I could see he was rather taken aback．He was not in good condition for sports．He looked at me for a moment and then he nodded．"
"I told him I'd drive round to the river at half past twelve and meet him．
"Done，"he said．
"I wished him good luck and he left me．I had a lot of work to do that morning and I only just managed to the creek at Tarumi at half past twelve．But I needn't have hurried；he never turned up．
"Did he funk it at the last moment？"I asked．
"No，he didn't funk it．He started all right．But of course he'd ruined his constitution by drink．The currents round the beacon were more than he could manage．We didn't get the body for about three days
I didn't say anything for a moment or two．I was a trifle shocked．Then I asked．
"When you made him that offer of a job，did you know he'd be drowned？'
    He looked at me with his kind blue eyes，smiling．"Well，I hadn't got a vacancy in my office at the moment．"

4．Few things can get normally calm people angry like finding a parking ticket attached to the windshield of their cars，especially when they seem undeserved．But most people don't want to invest the time and energy to beat them．
Now a new iPhone app，F(xiàn)ixed，will take on the task of beating a ticket：suggesting reasons it might be wrong，gathering supporting evidence and submitting proper paperwork to get drivers out of them．If the driver beats the ticket，they pay Fixed 25%of what it would have cost．
"When you mention parking tickets to people，most people think they've received an unfair one，"said David Hegarty，the designer of Fixed，who came up with the idea after getting six parking tickets in one day．
When someone gets a ticket，they snap a photo of it on their iPhone and enter the code．The app will tell them what percentage of those types of tickets are usually overturned and then show a list of possible reasons it could be found wrong such as a traffic sign covered by a leafy tree or a broken parking meter．If the motorists think they have a case，the app will remind them to get any additional photographic evidence with their phone and then digitally sign a letter．
Fixed's business model isn't completely new．There are companies that handle such cases for large companies such as FedEx and UPS．The difference is that Fixed is making the service available to individuals，thus helping in any area where the fee amount is small enough not to protest in person，but still big enough to make someone angry．"That's our sweet spot，"David said．

56．Most people accept parking tickets even if they feel unfair becauseA
A．they don't want to spend time and energy on them
B．they never have a chance to question them
C．they think they deserve tickets for their mistakes
D．they have no courage to face the traffic police
57．The underlined word"submit"，in Paragraph 2 probably means"D"．
A．put down    B．make up  C．give up    D．hand in
58．The inspiration of Fixed came fromC
A．similar software from Apple App store 
B．marketing analysis provided by iPhone
C．David Hegarty's personal experience 
D．successful cases of some drivers
59．What does the 4th Paragraph mainly tell us about？D
A．Why evidence is important in paying a ticket．
B．What people can do to avoid parking tickets．
C．Why a smart phone App attracts users．
D．How the iPhone App Fixed works．
60．According to the last paragraph，F(xiàn)ixed is unique becauseB 
A．it is free for smartphone users
B．it targets individuals as its customers
C．it was developed by FedEx and UPS
D．it can easily beat most of parking tickets．

11．Since I started working part-time at a grocery store，I have learned that a customer is more than someone who buys things．To me，a customer is a person whose memory fails entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping cart（車）．One of the first things customers forget is how to count．There is no other way to explain how so many people get in their express line，which is clearly marked 15 items（件） or less，with 20，25 or even a cart load of items．
Customers also forget why they came to the store in the first place．Just as I finish ringing up an order，a customer will say，"Oops，I forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread．I hope you don't mind waiting，while I go to get it．"Five minutes later，he's back with the bread，a bottle of milk，and three rolls of paper towels．What is stranger is that customers also seem to forget that they have to pay for their groceries．Instead of writing a check or looking for a credit card while I am ringing up the groceries，a customer will wait until I announce the total．Then，in surprise，she says，"Oh no，what did I  do with my check book？"After 5 minutes of digging through her purse，she borrows my pen because she has forgotten hers．But I have to tolerate customers because they pay my salary，and that's something I can't afford to forget．
21．What does the author say about his customers？D
A．They can not count numbers．
B．They sometimes jump the queue．
C．They don't know how to express themselves．

8．Editor Henry Slocum，
I read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books，or e-books，with great interest．You made several good points about the disadvantages of e-books．You may have overlooked，however，some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books．Yes，e-books are expensive，but they are also convenient．In addition，due to their environment-friendly nature，e-books have the potential to change our planet for the better．
E-books，for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term，are about the same size and shape as regular books．They have a large screen in the middle，however．This screen shows the reader a  page of text that has been downloaded from a computer．Once the reader has finished reading the  page on the e-book screen．he or she scrolls down to see a new page．The process continues until the entire book has been read．
As you pointed out．Mr．Slocum，it's great to lie on a warm，sandy beach with a book．You can do that just as easily with an e-book as you can with a traditional paper book．In fact，because e-books are so light，you can carry them anywhere．Say，for example，that you like to read on the bus．Which would you rather carry with you-a heavy 800-page novel，or an e-book that weighs only a few ounces？
Another important advantage is offered by e-books as well．They are more environmentfriendly than traditional books．At present，thousands of trees are cut down each year to meet the publishing industry's demand for paper．Books that don't sell are eventually returned to the Dublisher and destroyed．This terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e-books，which require no paper．
Sincerely，
David Eng

59．What does Editor Henry Slocum think about e-books？B
A．Interesting． B．Expensive．  C．Convenient   D．Environment-friendly．
60．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2？A
A．What an e-book is．
B．Why e-books are popular．
C．How e-books have developed．
D．Who are the readers of e-books．
61．In David's letter，he thinks thatC
A．E-books will come down in price
B．E-books come in various sizes and shapes
C．E-books do little harm to the environment
D．E-books are no better than traditional books
62．The main purpose of the letter is toD
A．explain how to read e-books
B．honor the person who invented e-books
C．scold publishers for wasting so much paper
D．provide evidence that e-books are a good idea．

9．When God created the first two people，Adam and his wife Eve，they lived in a beautiful garden-like paradise called Eden．They experienced close and loving fellowship with God all of the time．There were many（61）wonders（wonder） in Eden，especially the food and God said that Adam and Eve were free（62）to eat（eat） any of those things except the fruit of a special tree called"the tree of the knowledge of good and evil"．Satan，（63）a notorious angel who had rebelled （反叛） against God，hated God so much that he wanted to destroy the re lationship between them．Finally，he had both of them look at the fruit of the tree and said，"Doesn't that look delicious？"Sadly，both Adam and Eve took Satan's advice and ate the（64）forbidden （forbid） fruit．（65）Instantly（instant），their special relationship（66）withGod was broken，and they became spiritually separated from him．They were so aware of their new condition that they even tried to hide from God．This（6）7separation （separate） was more than just a bad feeling．Not only did Adam and Eve's first sin（罪）corrupt their own hearts，but also it corrupted all who came after them．The second sin followed quickly after the first，and many （68）more（much） followed af ter that．The tendency to rebel against God's perfect standards of right（69）andwrong became a part of mankind's nature and（70）has been passed（pass） on from generation to generation ever since．
