But now someone has managed to return the favour.The event took place one snowy January morning. Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park.“As I was walking, I just saw Jack running onto the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldn't climb out,”said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog. “Someone else told me the lake was only one-metre deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6-cm ice. Finally, I got Jack by the neck and pulled him out. I don't think I've ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okay—no one was particularly worried about me!”A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happe n. “The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under. There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming. Before I knew it, the owner (Smith) was in the water forcing his way through the ice. I can't begin to imagine how cold it was. Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as a cucumber—he just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead, and went home.”Many regard him as a hero, but Mr. Smith is quite laid-back about it. “Most dog owners are the same as me. They would do what I did without a second thought. But in the future, I'm going to make sure he's on a lead near any icy ponds.”Pets are members of our family. Would you do the same for them?( )31.What happened on a cold January morning?A.Mr. Smith met Jack in the park.B.Mr. Smith ran after Jack on the ice.C.Jack fell from the ice into the water.D.Jack played with the ducks in the water.( )32.How did Mr. Smith save Jack?A.He asked a neighbor for help.B.He broke the ice and shouted to Jack.C.He got Jack by the leg and pulled him out.D.He pulled Jack out of the icy water by the neck.( )33.The underlined phrase “as cool as a cucumber”in Paragraph 3 means “”.A.relaxedB.proudC.shyD.brave( )34.In the last paragraph, the writer asks a question to .A.suggest keeping pets for funB.remind people to put their dogs on the leadsC.encourage people to take good care of their petsD.advise people not to leave their dogs near icy ponds( )35.What is the best title of the passage?A.A Man's Pet DogB.A Dog's Best FriendC.The Danger on the Icy LakeD.Suggestions for Pets' OwnersCIs there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets? For years，scientists said “no” or “we don't know”．But today this is changing.Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers(天文学家)．They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe.They also think we will soon contact these beings(人；生物)．Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets? The first reason is time.Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old.“This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life，” say Shostak and Barnett.The second reason is size—the universe is huge.“Tools like the Hubble Telescope(哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies，” says Shostak.“And our galaxy，the Milky Way，has at least 100 billion stars.Some planets going around these stars mig ht be similar to the Earth.”In the past，it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe.But now，powerful telescopes(高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or the Earth—in other solar systems.These planets might have intelligent life.Have beings from space already visited the Earth? “Probably not，” says Shostak.“It's a long way away.However，intelligent beings may contact us in other ways，such as radio signals(信号)．In fact，they may be trying to communicate with us now，but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages.However，this is changing.By 2025，we could make contact with other life__forms in our universe and we might help each other.”( )36．Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are ________.A．astronomers B．farmers C．singers D．drivers ( )37．What is the best title for Paragraph 2?A．The Age and Size of the EarthB．Our Galaxy: The Milky WayC．Why Intelligent Life Might ExistD．The Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life( )38．Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past?A．Because there were not any smaller planets.B．Because there were not any powerful telescopes.C．Because the astronomers were not interested in them.D．Because the Milky Way didn't exist at that time.( )39．Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak?A．Because they're afraid of us.B．Because it's a long way away.C．Because they don't want to see us.D．Because they don't know how to use radio signals.( )40．What does the underlined phrase “life forms” in the last paragraph mean?A．Messages.
