Twenty-one years ago, my
husband gave me Sam, an eight-week-old schnauzer to help ease the loss of my
daughter. Sam and I 21 a very special bond over the next
fourteen years. It seemed nothing that happened could 22 change that.
At one point, our new
neighbor, whose cat had recently had kittens (baby cats), asked us if we would
like one. We were a little worried about Sams 23 , but we decided to 24 it and agreed to take a kitten, which we
named Lightening.
At first Sam and Lightening
were very 25 with each other and kept their distance.
But slowly Lightening started 26 Sam--up and down the stairs, into the
kitchen to watch him eat, into the living room to watch him sleep. 27 time passed, they became inseparable.
When I played with one, the other 28 in. If Sam barked at something,
Lightening ran to 29 what it was. When I took 30 one out of the house, the other was
always waiting by the door when we returned. That was the way it was for years.
Then without any 31 , Sam began suffering from heart
trouble. I had no other choice but to have him 32 . The pain of making that decision, 33
, was nothing compared with what I experienced when I had to 34 Sam at the vets(animal doctors) and
walked into our house alone. This time there was no Sam for Lightening to 35 and no way to explain 36 she would never see her friend again.
In the days that followed,
Lightening seemed 37 . She could not tell me in words
that she was 38 , but I could see the pain and 39 in her eyes whenever anyone opened the
front door, or the 40 whenever she heard a dog bark…

A.
Families are very important for everyone as
well as friends. Some can get on with members of their families but not with
friends. Others are just opposite. Please look at the following teenagers and
find out their different ideas about family and friends.
Destiny Jenna
11 years old, Cowage
I get on with members of my
family after an quarrel but when we are actually quarrelling its different,
although it doesnt often happen. I get on with all of them really. I think
that it depends on what they have done for me. I class some of my family as
friends as well as relatives. If I am in a bad mood with someone in my family
then I might choose a friend over them. I agree with the saying that you can
choose your friends and not your family because your family just comes but your
friends dont, do they?
Caroline Kylie,
10 years old, Blakeley
I get on with my family. I think
you have to get on with them even though they might quarrel, because you love
them. I have never thought of a friend better than a family member because I
class my family as friends as well. I never quarrel with any of my relatives,
but I think that its right about saying that you can choose your friends but
not your family.
Michelle Juan,
12 years old, Blakeley
I get on with my family,
although I feel as if I have to when we argue. I argue with my mum quite often
and she goes into a bad mood. I get on with all of them but sometimes they can
be nasty and make arguments. I class my family as friends as well, although I
have sometimes thought of a friend better than my family.
41. Who will
choose a friend when she is unhappy?
A. Destiny B. Caroline C. Michelle D. Michelles mother
42. Who hold the

45. The passage is

B.
Feeling tired lately? Has
the doctor said he cannot find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to
a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing
wrong.
Then consider this, you
might be in a state of subhealth.
Subhealth, also called the
third state or grey state, is explained as a border line state between health
and disease. According to an investigation by the National Health Organization,
over 45 percent of subhealthy people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage
is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as
students around exam time.
Symptoms include a lack of
energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia, agitation, and poor memory. Other
symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.
The key to preventing and
recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good
living habits, alternate work with rest, exercise regularly, and take
part in open-air activities.
As for meals, people are
advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables,
fruits and fish because they are rich in nutritional elements, vitamins and
trace elements that are important to the body.
Nutrition experts point out
that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy
changes in the digestive tract. They also say that a balanced diet is very
helpful in avoiding subhealth.
46．According to the passage, which of the following is
RIGHT?
A. When you are in
a state of subhealth, you should stay home and keep silent.
B. When you are in a state of
subhealth, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine.
C. When you are in a state of
subhealth, you should have yourself examined in some good hospitals.
D. When you are in a state of
subhealth, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself.
47. Middle-aged people may feel
subhealthy, because .
A. they have used up their
energy
B. they have lost their living
hopes
C. they have more pressure in
life and work
D. they begin to get older
48. The answer of preventing
you falling into a state of subhealth is that you should .
A. work hard B.
sleep more
C. keep relaxed D.
eat more
49. As for food, experts
suggest that .
A. we should never eat meat
B. we should have meals with
less salt and sugar
C. we should eat less
D. we should have meals without
salt and sugar
50. The underlined word
alternate in this passage means .
A. arrange by turns B.
cause to take place
C. keep up D.
take up
C.
Read the following passage
and choose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragraph. Note
that there is one extra heading.
A. Smoking brings many psychological benefits.
B. Tobacco is an important source of income to the government.
C. Smoking is sure to cause disease.
D. Its a short-sighted policy to depend on tobacco for money.
E. The advertisement for it is dishonest and harmful.
F. The tobacco industry makes high quality advertisement for smoking.
51.
If you smoke and you still dont believe
that theres a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart
disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a
look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them
do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might
be passive smokers without realizing it.
52.
Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax.
Its almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government
of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational
facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking
may be harmful, it doesnt do to shout too loudly about it.
53.
The advertising of tobacco is one of the
problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lungs
early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict
handsome, clean and shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even
positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open-air life, with
beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense.
54.
Of course tobacco can help government to
raise more money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with
one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous
amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering
from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is
no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned
altogether.
55.
Smoking can provide constant consolation.
When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seems to
get right. After a days hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It
can be even better with a cup of coffee. Its so enjoyable and relaxing that it
relieves stresses of everyday life. So why bother to ban it and take the
pleasure from us.

It is reported that about 100,000 people will be chosen as volunteers
for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. What should the volunteers do and what
should they not do?
Firstly, they should be polite and friendly
to the athletes and visitors from all over the world, and avoid improper
behavior. Secondly, they should introduce the Chinese culture and history to
the foreigners so that they may know China better, and never say or do anything
that harms the image of our motherland.
If I have the honor to be
chosen as a volunteer, besides the above, I will work hard and creatively, but
never be lazy. I will follow the law and discipline, but never break them. I
will take the opportunity to make friends with the athletes and visitors, and
help make the 2008 Olympic Games a great success.
