His older brothers work in banking and computers, but Gareth's dream was always to become a clown(小丑).Three years ago, Alan, Kath and Gareth joined the circus(马戏团). “People laugh when we tell them,” saysKath. “But it's true. Gareth has wanted to be a clown since we took him to the circus when he was three.”When Alan lost his job, he and Kath decided to see if they could find full-time circus jobs. They both got jobs with a famous circus and Gareth began training to become a clown. He calls himself Bippo. They travel with the circus during the summer and return home for the winter. Gareth's brothers are old enough to look after the house while they are away.“I can't say it was easy,”says Kath. “There was a lot to think about and organize. We only had a car and a very small caravan(拖车)to sleep in, and we were leaving behind our lovely house. The only thing Gareth missed was his long, hot baths.”“People ask about my education,” says Gareth, “but from the beginning, wherever we go, someone has always come to teach me. I follow the same books as everyone back at school and I've got a computer. I've never fallen behind my classmates.”And the future “It was a difficult decision,” says Kath,“but there was no other way to teach Gareth about being a clown. I'm happy to say it's working, and we're enjoying it.” And Gareth “I'm going to be the main clown in a circus one day', he says, 'perhaps Bippo's circus.”29.What is the writer trying to do in the passage？30.A.

When did dogs and people become friends Where did dogs come from？A group of scientists tired to answer there questions. They just finished a study about the history of dogs. In the study, they looked at the DNA of dogs all over the world and found that dogs, like humans, shared DNA with their family members. The scientists put together a big family tree for dogs. It went all the way back to the animal’s beginning.In this way, scientists learned about the history of dogs. The first dogs lived in Asia. They were born about 33,000 years ago. At first, there were only about 6,400 of them. Their parents were wolves(狼).The new study answers many questions. It raises some too. For example, what caused wolves in Asia to become dogs all those years agoOne idea is that their DNA slowly changed and the wolves became dogs in the end. As time goes by, dogs became “man’s best friends” Or it could happen the other way around. It was possible that some wolves started living with people before they became dogs. Living with people led to many changes to these wolves. It changed their DNA, so their offsrping(后代) became dogs. In other words, it was possible that wolves were our friends before they became dogs.By studying DNA, scientists now have a much better understanding of the history of dogs. _____.How exactly dogs came to be our friends is still unclear.47.How did the scientists study the history of dogs？48.A. By living with dogs B. By studying the DNA of the dogs49.C. By studying all the animals D. By making friends with the dogs50.Which of the following is TRUE about the first dogs？51.A. They lived in Africa B. They were born 6,400 years ago.52.C. Their parents were wolves D. There are about 33,000 dogs53.What does the underline word “some”in Paragraph 4 refer to？54.A. Wolves B. Dogs C. Ideas D. Questions55.Which of the following can be put in _________？56.A. However, there is still much to learn.57.B. But we still know little about wolves’ history58.C. Because we’ve learned about dogs’ friends.59.D. So they can explain when dogs became our friends.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）下面文章中五五处（第31-35题）需要添加小标题。

He was very worried that the land ans water would be polluted.Andrew wrote down clearly all the research he had down about the area, and how the houses would affect the local environment. He sent letters to members of local government and television reporters. He also called on his neighbors to oppose the building of the houses.Although he was only 12 years old, he had the courage and wisdom of a person much older. Andrew’ s teachers described him as gentle, shy and active. His classmates also admired how much he knew about local animals and plants,and the environment.Each day after school, Andrew went door-to-door, to ask the people to sign, who did not want the houses to be built. In only one month, he got the signatures of 250 people.In the end, the land remained a safe place for birds, animals and plants that belonged there.

Two years ago, our 14﹣year﹣old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his birthday． At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise． "It's better than watching TV or playing computer games in my free time, " Ben argued, "and it'll keep me out of trouble． In the end, we gave in． "All right, "we said, " but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbors when you play．"That was just the beginning． Because drums are not the easiest instruments to transport 运输）, the other members of Ben's band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other instruments． And so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing．At least Ben's hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start practicing, my husband and I go out for a long walk． And I must agree that, although their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite group of young men． I cannot judge （评判） their musical skill﹣after all I didn't expect my parents' generation （一代人） to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager﹣but they do play at the same time each week in local clubs for young people．Our main worry is that they won't spend enough time on their school work because of their musical activities, though this hasn't happened yet． I am always stressing to Ben how important his studies are． But one thing is certain﹣ Ben was right: it has kept him out of trouble and he is never bored．（1）What is the writer trying to do in this text？________A Complain （抱怨） about her son's friends．B Give advice toteenagers． C Compare herself with her parents． D Describe her son's hobby．．（2）Why does the band always practice at Ben's house？________A It is difficult for Ben to move his drums．B The neighbors don't mind the noise．C Ben's parents enjoy listening to them．D They can leave their instruments there．．（3）What does the writer say about the band members？________A They are talented in their school work．B They play their instrumentswell． C Their taste in music is different from hers． D They are not polite to herfamily．．（4）What might the writer say to her son？________A Your teacher has just phoned． He wants to know why you weren't at schooltoday． B When are you playing at the club next？ Dad and I would love to come along again． C If you don't know what to do with yourself， there's a good program on TV in a few minutes． D Are you sure you've finished your homework？ It's more important than band practice．．3. Just like us, animals talk to each other all the time． However, instead of words, they use sounds and movements． Social animals live together so there's a lot to say! What's more, it's not just elephants, monkeys and other animals we consider to be smart that are expert communicators, insect（昆虫）like ants and bees can communicate very well, too． The greater spot﹣nosed monkey is really good at communication． If it notices a lion, it calls "pyow" to warn other monkeys to climb higher into trees． If it sees an eagle（鹰）, it calls "hack" as a warning to hide closer to the ground． Can you guess what"pyow, pyow, pyow, hack, hack, hack" means? No, not "three lions and four eagles"． In fact, it means big trouble is coming and they should leave at once．In the insect world, one of the most surprising examples of communication is actually a dance, which is performed by honeybees． When returning home after looking forfood, worker bees perform something called a waggle dance to tell other bees where thefood is．We still have a lot to learn about communication in the animal world, but it's quite clear that animals can say more than we realize． Is it possible that they can understand more than we realize too?（1）In what magazine would you most likely find this reading？________A People TodayB Pet WorldC Wildlife MagazineD Social Skills．（2）How does the writer explain that the greater spot﹣nosed monkey is really good at communication？________A By listing numbersB By giving examplesC By raising questionsD By adding sayings．（3）According to the reading， some worker bees perform a waggle dance to________．A Tell other bees where the food can be foundB tell other bees how much food is availableC warn other bees to get out of here at onceD ask honeybees to collect some food outside．第二节（共1小题，每小题10分，满分10分）下面文章中五段需要添加小标题．请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题．选项中有一项多余选项．4.Extreme Earth（1）_______Yakutia is a place where temperature fall to as low as ﹣50℃． Thick clothing doesn't help there． The best way to keep warm is with animal fur（皮毛）．（2）_______In Mong Kok， Hong Kong， there are 165000 people per square kilometer． Apartment blocks fill the sky． There are shops on the side walk and it's difficult to walk in the streets．（3）_______People in La Paz， Bolivia live 3.5km above sea level（平面）． Hot drinks are a little cooler here because water boils （沸腾） at a lower temperature!（4）_______It doesn't rain very often in the Atacama Desert in Chile． In fact， it rained in 1971 for the first time in 400 years! People get water from the fog（雾）． And it's a perfect place for studying the starts because the sky is very clear even at night．（5）_______In Mail， West Africa， people have to get up early before it gets too hot． Traditionally，they wear clothes that cover all of their body because such clothes can protect them from the high temperature!第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分15分）第一节：完形填空（共1小题，每题1分，满分15分）5.
