    Funeral homes aren’t just for dead peopled . They’re for our passed–on pets too these days. Pet Angel Memorial Center in Carmel. Indiana, helps guide grieving （悲痛的）animal owners through a vast range of burial and menorial options . The staff of five, all former clients （顾客）, then carries out the owner’s wishes . Perhaps the most important service the center provides, though, is an understanding to cry on .
    Owner Coleen Ellis started the country’s first pet funeral home there years ago after the death of her dog Mico. It was then that she discovered her veterinarian（兽医）, like most throughout the United States, put dead animals in garbage bags and stored them in a freezer for up to one week . A disposal company then picked up the bodies and took them to a landfill（废物埋填地）site.
    Before opening Pet Anget Memorial Center, Ellis worked in human funeral homes for 15 years, helping guide families through the end of life process. Her work with pets, though, is unusual. Only a handful of animal funeral homes exist, most of which Ellis said she helped get started.
    Honoring dead pets and honoring people are similar in many ways. The 1,200 square –foot memorial center, located outside of Indianapolis, offer a full line of memorial items . The lowest priced package starts at $ 230  and includes pick-up , as well as a keepsake（纪念品）paw print. Friends, family and surviving pets often accompany grieving owners.
    The atmosphere is different from a human funeral home, where people stay their distance to give the grieving family privacy. At the center , pet owners mourn together . Often times , if two visitations are going on, the families will share stores about their dead loved ones. It’s a very good healing experience.
    63．What made Coleen Ellis have the idea of a pet funeral home?
    A．Her dream to become famous in the USA
    B．The cruel way of dealing with dead pet animal
    C．Her determination to change her job
    D．Her wish to make friends with pet owners
    64．What do human funeral homes and animal funeral homes have in common ?
    a. They both have a memorial center.
    b. They both provide memorial items.
    c. They have the same atmosphere.
    d. In both places grieving people are kept company by their friends
    A．a.b.c               B．a. c. d.                    C． b. c. d.           D．a.b.d.
    65．The underlined word“visitations ”in the last paragraph refer to “     ”.
    A．animal funerals                     B．places of funerals
    C．pet owners                            D．sad stories
    66．What is the passage mainly about ?
    A．Coleen Ellis’ life                  B．Human funeral homes.
    C．Veterinarians and animals      D．Animal funeral homes

    Ⅲ、完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
    When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a faraway village. One day, on the road, I found the   51   pieces of a mirror. There was a Garman motorcycle accident.
    I tried to find all the pieces and put them   52  , but it was not possible, so I kept only the  53    piece and I made it round.

    Men have always believed that they are smarter than women. Now, a study has found that while this is certainly true, men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex.
    In the study, scientists measured the IQ of 2500 brothers and sisters and they found an uneven number of men not only in the top two percent, but also in the bottom two percent.
    The study's participants were tested on science, maths, English and mechanical abilities.
    Though there were twice as many men as women in the smartest group, there were also twice as many men among the dolts.
    The aggregate scores of men and women were similar.
    One of the study's authors, psychology professor Timothy Bates, said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted to spend more time taking care of their home.
    "The female developmental program may be tilted more towards ensuring survival and the safety of the middle ground.," the Daily Mail quoted Professor Bates, of Edinburgh University, as saying.
    The research tallies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women secured the seconds.
    It has been said that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics. Women have always found to be steadier in their learning.
    A past study has shown that women are securing more firsts and seconds, while men are continuing to receive more thirds.
    The argument for the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors women's steady approach.
    51. The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________.
    A. man are smarter then women
    B. man are more stupid the women
    C. a new fact about the IQ of men and women has been found
    D. men are more likely to receive first class university degrees
    52. According to Timothy Bates, less women are in the smartest group because _________.
    A. they are born stupid
    B. they have to spend more time to tale care of their home than men 
    C. they don’t like to take risk
    D. they are not expected to be high achievers
    53. The underlined word tallies with in the eighth paragraph means________.
    A. agree with      B. deal with     C. go against     D. go with
    54. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
    A. Women are steadier in their learning.
    B. men are more ready to take risk in everything
    C. women are securing more firsts and seconds
    D. women are doing much better in academy
    55. Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage?
    A. Why are men smarter than women? 
    B. Why are men more stupid than women?
    C. How does the result go along with the past research?
    D. How can we help the men in the bottom?

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    One winter evening, a storekeeper was going to close up  his shop. Suddenly he saw Seth, a lazy, good – for – nothing fellow grasp a pound of fresh butter and hid it in his hat. No sooner had the storekeeper seen the act than he hit upon exactly the right revenge(报复). He would punish the thief, and satisfy his own appetite for fun.     
    Seth had his hat on his head, and the butter in his hat. He was anxious to leave. However, the rightful owner of the butter offered him a cup of hot drink, took him by the shoulders and planted him in a seat close to the stove. The grocer filled in the stove as many sticks of wood as he could. Seth already could feel the butter settling down closer to his hair, so he jumped up, declaring that he must go. “Sit down; don’t be in such a hurry,” replied the grocer, pushing him back into the chair again.      
    Streak after streak of the butter came pouring from under the poor man’s hat. The fun-loving grocer kept on putting wood into the stove. Then, as if surprised, he remarked, “You seem to be sweating as if you were warm! Let me put your hat away for you.”     
    “No! ” exclaimed poor Seth at last, unable to stand it a moment longer. “ No, I must go; let me out.” A greasy (油腻的) waterfall of butter was now pouring down the poor man’s face and neck, dipping into his clothes, and trickling down his body into his boots. He was bathed in oil from head to toe. Just as Seth rushed out of the door, the grocer said , “ I believe the fun I’ve had out of you is worth the money, so I shan’t charge you for that pound of butter in your hat.”
    56．Why did Seth put the butter in his hat?
    A．Because he didn’t want to pay for it.
    B．Because he just wanted to play a trick on the grocer.
    C．Because he wanted to revenge himself on the grocer.
    D．Because he had nowhere to put the butter but in the hat.
    57．What is not the action that the grocer took as a revenge?
    A．The grocer offered Seth a cup of hot drink.
    B．The grocer offered to take off Seth’s hat.
    C．The grocer overcharged Seth for the butter.
    D．The grocer forced Seth to take a seat near the stove.
    58．What was the purpose of the grocer’s hospitality(热情好客)？
    A．He wanted to be kind to him.
    B．He wanted to sell more of his goods.
    C．He wanted to make friends with Seth
    D．He wanted to take his revenge on Seth by making the butter in his hat melt.
    59．What is the best title of the passage?
    A．Great Fun                     B．The Right Revenge
    C．A Fun-loving Grocer            D．A Foolish Customer

    Watson entered Mr Smith’s office. The Boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.
    “Watson,” said Mr Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to drop that department. It’s finished. I’ m sorry, —but you’ll have to go.” “But, sir—if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”
    “What’s that!” said the Boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s an expensive school for a man with your salary.”
    “1 know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He’s a star trackman（田径运动员） and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ（冠军） there.”
    The Boss sat perfectly still for a long time—a faraway （恍惚的） look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours—maybe more pay. Now get out. You’re here for life.”
    Watson got out, with surprise in his face. Then the Boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School —written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:
    I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere when you’re a cripple (跛脚的人). But don’t worry about me, Dad. They’ve got a good chemistry department here. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big—that he won’t even know about.
    Your son,
    Herbie

    C. a teacher of Mr Smith’s son                           D. the son of Mr Smith’s friend

    A. was a college student                    B. didn’t live to grow up
    C. made friends with many boys                 D. died from a car accident
    59. Watson was given a second chance because_______.

    One of Britain’s bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected (可疑的) police killer David Bieber — and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.
    Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide hunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to walk silently into Bieber’s bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.
    She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”
    The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious (怀疑) of the guest who came at 3 pm the day before New Year’s Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact .” Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.
    Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.
    “It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?’. My heart missed a beat.”
    Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.
    “I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man’s room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (戴上手铐).”
    68.The underlined phrase “be in line for” (paragraph 1) means________.
    A. get    B. be paid           C. ask for            D. own
    Vicki's heart missed a beat because ________.
    A. the phone went again              B. she would be famous
    C. the policemen had already arrived    D. she saw 20 policemen in the car park
    David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in ________.
    A. the passage         B. the man's room          
    C. Vicki's bedroom          D. the top floor room
    The whole event probably lasted about ________ hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.
    A. 6              B. 8               C. 11            D. 14

    I have said enough to you about the fact that no two native speakers of English speak it alike, but perhaps you are clever enough to ask me whether I myself speak it in the same way.
    I must    21     at once that I do not. Nobody does. I am at present speaking to an audience of many thousands of gramophonists（学话者）, many of    22     are trying hard to follow my words, syllable by syllable. If I were to speak to you as carelessly as I speak to my wife at home, this record would be    23    ; and if I were to speak to my wife at home as carefully as I am speaking to you, she would think that I was going mad.
    As a public speaker I have to take care that every word I say is heard clearly at the far    24    of large halls containing thousands of people. “But at home, when I have to consider only my wife sitting    25     six feet of me at breakfast, I take so little pains with my speech that very often,    26     giving me the expected answer, she says, “Don’t mumble, and don’t turn you head away when you speak. I can’t hear a word you are saying.” And she also is a little careless. Sometimes I have to say “what” two or three times during our meal. And she    27     me of growing deafer and deafer, though she does not say so, because, as I am now over seventy, it might be true.
    We all have company manners. If you were to    28     a strange family and to listen through the keyhole before going in---not that I would suggest for a moment that you are capable of doing such a very unladylike or ungentlemanlike thing; but still, if, in your enthusiasm for studying languages you could bring yourself to do it just for a few seconds to hear how a family speak to one another when there is    29     listening to them, and then walk into the room and hear how very    30     they speak in your presence, the change would surprise you. Even when our home manners are as good as our company manners---and of course they ought to be better --- they are always different; and the difference is greater in speech than in anything else.
