Fiona’s in-laws lived in New Zealand and every time the family went over to visit them, we got to mind the dog. Fiona would also leave her bronze Landcruiser at our place, parked right where Sunny could see it, for as long as the dog could check that the car was still there, which he did regularly, he was happy. Sunny knew from past experiencethat if the car was there, the family would e back. Each time they did, I jokingly told them not to bother picking up Sunny because he was a joy to have around.He was beautiful with the family, and when an unexpected baby came along --- 17 years after her older sister --- Sunny was lovely and gentle with her.In April xx we learnt that the family was relocating to New Zealand. Realizing the bond that existed between them and Sunny, I knew they would want to take him. But with limited finances they found it too expensive to take their much-loved dog.So we adopted him.Their car, yet to be sold, was parked at our side gate and Sunny kept watching over it, checking on it each day before going for a walk. I think it was his security blanket. Then, a few months later, when the car was finally sold, poor Sunny had to adjust to losing yet another part of his family.With the car gone, Sunny discovered that cats visit the area and this has held his interest (though not as much as the car!). We’ve had a few problems, but Sunny has now settled in very well and is far better trained than any of our previous dogs.Sunny is lovely pany and has been a beautiful addition to our family.4. Why did Fiona park her car at her parents’ house every time she went to visit her relatives in New Zealand?A. Because it was another part of Sunny’s family.B. Because Sunny took great interest in watching it.C. Because it was Sunny’s routine before going for a walk.D. Because to Sunny it meant the family would e back.5. What can we learn from the text?A. Fiona once joked about attending to Sunny.B. The family had two kids with a huge age difference.C. Ca ts could hold Sunny’s attention as well as the car did.D. The family moved to New Zealand with their beloved dog.6. What does the underlined phrase mean?A. a toy to fort crying kidsB. something to reduce angerC. a measure to provide protectionD. something to make you feel warm7. Which of the following can best describe Sunny’s character?A.loyal and adaptableB. expensive and loyalC. naughty and expensiveD. naughty and adaptableC“Anything you want, anytime you need it.”The message appeared on puter screens across the country at the same time, on the same day: December 12th, at 12 p.m.. Simultaneously, important looking envelopes containing cards with the same message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news panies. One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed – a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just a website address. Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the card’s and said: “Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.” The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytime’s marketing had worked –it was a household name before it’d even made a single sale. When the opening came, that day at noon, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field that read, “What do you want?” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had bee a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the pany, but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. Anyone who challenged the pany, itseemed, met with serious trouble. A government official critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stories suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another pany taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible happen to them after opposing or criticising Anytime. By lunch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a.m..When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his puter screen: “Stop making trouble.” Chris smiled. He had no intention of s topping now that he knew he was on the right track.8. What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?A. An invitation to a pany opening.B. The website address of a new pany.C. The words “Anytime: Starting tomorrow”.D. The words “Anything you want, anytime you need it”.9. Why did the pany choose to send the cards to many news reporters?A. Because it didn’t have enough money for traditional advertising.B. Because it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.C. So the reporters would write stories about the new pany.D. So people would find the new pany interesting.10. What did Chris’ s research suggest about Anytime?A. It may be very dangerous.B. Its popularity would soon decrease.C. It was doing business all over the world.D. It was being widely criticised by journalists.11. How did Chris feel at the end of the story?A. Scared that he would get into trouble.B. Confident that he would find the truth.C. Nervous about what the pany would do.D. Satisfied that he had discove red the pany’s secret.DAcross the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude toward reading.There are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys’ reading?To improve boys’ reading performa nce, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called “boy-friendly” books that boys supposedly “prefer”. These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction.But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability.Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books. Firstly, don’t assume that boys of the same age have the sameinterests or that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class. Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading.In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.12. According to the author, what is the main cause of the difference in boys’ and girls’reading ability?A. Social factors.B. Teaching methods.C. Personal preferences.D. Psychological differences.13. Why does the author remend that adults regularly talk to boys about reading?A. To persuade boys to read more often.B. To learn what boys are most interested in.C. To help boys improve their language ability.D. To show that adults are good reading role models.14. When should schools give students additional library access according to the author?A. Before and after class.B. At any time of the school day.C. At regular times during class.D. When they are in the lower grades.15. What is the main purpose of the text?A. To show students ways to improve their reading.B. To explain why boys are not as good at reading as girls.C. To urge governments to provide more reading resources.D. To provide strategies（策略）that can help improve boys’ reading ability.第二节 ( 共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分 )根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ALike any college student, Connor Cox was excited when he received a package from home. He assumed it was filled with food and other goodies.

A project conducted by Johann Siau, Senior Lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire’s School of Engineering and Technolog y, has built on the university’s InterHome project –aiming to create a home that supervises people living at home who are weak or elderly.The interhome“We’ve developed a wristband type device,” said Johann Siau, “which allows us to monitor the condition of an elderly person, or whoever is wearing the device. It allows us to collect data of a person, to see if the person has fallen or is away from where they are supposed to be. It connects an elderly person with an assisted living type device with the Int erHome.” The assisted living project is part of the university’s wider InterHome project, which is the development of a smart house. The house stores the usage patterns of the person living there and can adapt to make it use as little energy as possible. “Connecting the two together and building the service element allow us to introduce the assisted-living idea to care for the elderly. It’s very important that these technologies are there to help and support rather than to replace any of the existing servic es.”Built from zeroThe InterHome is not just a prototype or a vehicle for research, it’s a study tool to help students from different scientific backgrounds learn about and develop technology. The InterHome combines the latest broadband technology, mobile data and communication. Researchers and students make sure all the technology works together. Students get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. It requires a variety of skills from students –electronic engineers, computer students, design students and so on. “The present plan we are working on is a smart home project in Watford with some commercial companies,” said Johann Siau. “We are looking athow a smarter home can provide extra value services.”25.The main purpose of this article is to______.A. introduce a new kind of technology to help people enjoy a better lifeB. describe a new platform for students to develop new technologyC. show how future buildings will change elderly people’s way of lifeD. describe a new project that aims to develop a smart home for elderly26.The underlined word “supervises” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to______.A.
