11．My wife and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year．Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month．We were busy through those hot summer months，driving between visits．Our services were strictly held at the pet owner's home．It was almost too busy for the two of us，but we were making good money!
We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves．
One day，we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave．We met the family，filled in a form，and spent some time with their dog，Hercules．He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue．The family laughed as he did this，showing us that he was very loving．
Two days later I appeared at the house，alone．I came up to Hercules and said hello happily．I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made．Meanwhile，he was so lovely sitting beside．I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners，a usual service．After the light and"click"sound went off，Hercules rushed at me．I didn't know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood．I ran out and did the only thing-calling my wife．
Then I went to neighbors for help．My wife arrived after ten minutes．The helpful neighbor and my wife led Hercules back into his pen （圈）．Then my husband and I took off to the hospital．
I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital．The nurses quickly moved me to a room．I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner，"Am I going to die？"He replied，"Finally．"
28．According to the text，the author's work wasC．
A．tiring and dangerous                B．easy and free
C．well paid                           D．done outdoors
29．What did the author often do during his work？D
A．Cleaning the clients'house．
B．Walking the pets outside．
C．Bringing the pets to her own house．
D．Taking a photo of pets to the owners．
30．It can be inferred from the text that the author was attacked becauseA．
A．Hercules feared the sound and flash
B．the author attacked Hercules first
C．Hercules was very hungry then
D．the author treated Hercules badly
31．The doctor's answer gave us a sense ofB．
A．a(chǎn)nger                                B．humor
C．carelessness                         D．patience．

分析 文章介紹作者和妻子的工作是給主人的寵物拍照片，這項(xiàng)服務(wù)很受歡迎，雖然很忙，但是他們的收入很可觀，但是有一次作者在工作的時(shí)候，卻被一個(gè)寵物襲擊了．

解答 28：C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題：從第一段的句子：It was almost too busy for the two of us，but we were making good money!可知作者的工作報(bào)酬很豐厚，選C．
29：D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題：從第四段的句子：I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners，a usual service．可知作者的工作是給主人的寵物拍照片，選D
30：A  細(xì)節(jié)理解題：從第四段的句子：After the light and"click"sound went off，Hercules rushed at me．I didn't know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood．可知作者被襲擊是因?yàn)镠ercules 害怕聲音和閃光，選A
31：B  推理判斷題：從文章最后一句話：I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner，"Am I going to die？"He replied，"Finally．"醫(yī)生說(shuō)"最后"，人最后當(dāng)然都會(huì)死的，所以可以推斷醫(yī)生的回答很幽默，選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)的主要原因是，僅憑讀過(guò)文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來(lái)勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對(duì)于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對(duì)比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說(shuō)，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng) （3）排除用于過(guò)于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．

4．Raised in a fatherless home，my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children．His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college．I had to ride the bus whenever I came home．Though the bus stopped about two miles from home，Dad never met me，even in sever weather．If I grumbled， he'd say in his loudest father-voice，"That's what your legs are for!"
The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads．I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety．But that feeling was canceled one spring evening．
It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs．I longed for home．When the bus reached the stop，I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home．
A row of hedge（樹(shù)籬）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house．Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey，I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home．On that particular evening，the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge，moving toward the house．Upon closer observation，I realized it was the top of my father's head．Then I knew，each time I'd come home，he had stood behind the hedge，watching，until he knew I had arrived safely．I swallowed hard against the tears．He did care，after all．
On later visits，that spot of gray became my watchtower．I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery．Upon reaching home，I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair．"So!My son，it's you!"he'd say，his face lengthening into pretended surprise．
I replied，"Yes，Dad，it's me．I'm home．"

21．What does the underlined word"grumbled"in Paragraph 1probably mean？D
A．Accepted happily．
B．Explained clearly．
C．Agreed willingly．
D．Spoke unhappily．
22．What made the author feel upset wasC．
A．the tiredness after long hours in labs 
B．the fear of seeing something moving
C．the feeling of being less than valued  
D．the loneliness of riding the bus home
23．The author's father watched behind the hedge becauseA．
A．he was concerned about his son's safety
B．he wanted to help his son build up courage
C．he didn't want to meet his son at the doorway
D．he didn't think his son was old enough to walk alone
24．Which of the following can be the best title for the text？A
A．My Father's Secret．
B．My College Life．
C．Terrible Journey Home．
D．Riding Bus Alone．

6．Beware first-class travelers!Passengers sitting in the rear of a plane have the best chance of survival in an event of a crash，an extraordinary and costly aviation（航空，飛行）experiment ever （33）conducted （conduct） has revealed．
In a unique aviation experiment recently，the 170-seat-Boeing 727was made（34）to crash （crash） in a controlled manner in a remote part of Mexico's Sonoran Desert．After pilot James Slocum jumped out of the plane at 2，500ft，the jet（35）was guided  （guide） into the ground by a pilot in a following Cessna via a remote-control device，the reporters reported．On board of the jet were three advanced crash-test dummies（假人）designedto move （36）like humans．
They were arranged in three positions：one in the classic brace and wearing a seat-belt； one belted but not in the brace position； and one（37）neither belted nor in the brace．After the jet hit the ground nose-first，experts found that the dummy in the brace position would have survived the impact，（38）the one not in the brace would have suffered serious head injuries，and the dummy not wearing a seat-belt would have"died"．
Using this，experts predicted that 78percent of passengers on board would have survived the impact，（39）but all the first-class travelers would have died because the front of the fuselage（機(jī)身）broke apart when the plane comes down nose first．Those sitting at the back would have had the（40）best （good） chance of survival．

3．People laugh and people cry．But it is thought that emotions such as anger，or joy，typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed．The shedder of tears（落淚者）is likely to apologize，even when a great tragedy was the cause．The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears．But judging from recent studies of crying behavior，both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive（適得其反）．
Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional tears．Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses，it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival．
Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance from others（as a crying baby might from its mother），the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help．Vocal（出聲的）cries would have been quite enough，more likely than tears to gain attention．So，it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves．
Indeed，the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in easing stress．University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears．Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion．Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion would contain no such substance．
Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs．At Tulane University's Tear Analysis Laboratory Dr．Peter Kastl and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse，to study the causes of"dry eye"syndrome（綜合征）and the effects of eye surgery，and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants．

60．What does the underlined phrase"both those responses"in Paragraph1refer to？D
A．Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness．
B．The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings of the observers．
C．Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical composition of tears．
D．The tear shedder's apology and the observer's effort to stop the crying．
61．It is known from the first paragraph thatA．
A．shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to Americans
B．crying may often result in tragedy
C．crying usually wins sympathy from other people
D．one who sheds tears in public will be blamed
62．What does the author say about crying？C
A．It is a pointless physiological response to the environment．
B．It must have a role to play in man's survival．
C．It is meant to get attention and assistance．
D．It usually produces the desired effect．
63．From the passage we can infer thatB．
A．it is unnatural for people to shed tears
B．we can reduce our stress by shedding tears
C．shedders of tears can't get help by crying loudly
D．unlike animals，humans can shed tears for survival．

In the few minutes，the library door opened．Doctors and three policemen ran in．Taija turned once more to the computer，"They are here．Thanks．Bye-bye．"

8．Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment．
Some sports are resource-hungry．Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water．Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．
There are many environmental-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes； and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control．
Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environmental-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials．But the final goal should be"green gyms"．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all，it's free．
33．The author thinks the golf is resource-hungry because of the following EXCEPT thatD．
A．Golf wastes large areas of countryside
B．Golf runs out of much water

B．it is an outdoor sport
C．it uses fewer resources
