When Chato"s barking didn"t stir Jerrica Seals, the recently adopted dog triednibbling on the teenager"s leg, to get the girl out of her burning house.
No one was hurt. Fort Myers firefighters responded at about 7 a.m.
Five people lived in the Garcia home. That was neighbor Janice Hamilton"s main concern when she looked out of her window Friday and saw the flames. "I just threw my pants on to run outside and make sure they knew how many people lived there," Hamilton said. "It was scary."
"Seals called me screaming," said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seal"s boyfriend, Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the home. "She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg."
It is said that Garcia"s brother brought Chato home several weeks ago after the animal wandered onto a Lehigh Acres construction site. Since then, Vega said, Chato had been mostly quiet－until it mattered. "He doesn"t usually bark." Vega said. "He"s real friendly."
According to deputy fire chief Steve Clyatt, possibly the fire started because of an inadequate extension cord used on a window air conditioner. More than half of the home was burned down. There was extensive smoke and water damage in the remainder of the structure. Estimates for repair costs were unavailable. "I"d say it"s unlikely they will recover this, but I"ve been surprised before," Clyatt said.
61.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Janice Hamilton Helps Save Neighbors
B. Firefighters Put Out House Fire
C. Dogs Saves Teen Girl From House Fire
D. Family Needs Help Due To House Fire
62.The underlined word "they" in the third paragraph most probably refers to________.
A. other neighbors B. Hamilton family members
C. Vega and her brother Garcia D. the firefighters
63.By saying "I"d say it"s unlikely they will recover this, but I"ve been surprised before." in the last paragraph, Clyatt means________.
A. it"s a wonder that Seals survived the fire B. the house was badly damaged
C. such a bad fire was seldom seen D. Chato is a very clever dog
64.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?
A. The person who called the firefighters. B. The possible cause of the accident.
C. The relationship between Seals and Garcia. D. The owner of the house.

举一反三
After winning a big game, athletes are often asked how they attained that success. Most say their achievement is the result of grueling hard work and intense practice. Usually athletes say how hard it is to win the big games. At the opposite end of the spectrum, however, is the fact that losing the big game, or, in my case, all the games, can be even tougher.
From the spectators" point of view, last year"s basketball season for my high school team was nothing short of an embarrassment. And while 0 and 20 is certainly nothing to be proud of, that season had a bigger impact on me than any other, and probably more than any season since.
As a team captain, I knew it probably wouldn"t be the easiest year, but did I ever think we would lose every game? Of course not. Since six of our top players had graduated, it was clear that we were a young team who would struggle. The struggle began earlier than expected, though, as our team"s starting center was suspended for the season, and two key members decided to quit after two weeks. At some point, quitting probably passed through every player"s mind, but, in the end, we all stuck it out, vowing to work even harder.
Then there came a time when even our own coach had given up on us. Personally, I felt like it was no longer worth giving my all. I thought, if even the coach doesn"t believe in us, why should I? But just as my hope began to fade, a teammate called a meeting. He said, "Nobody thinks we"re going to win, and heck, we may not, but, as teammates and friends, we owe it to each other to give it our all every game."
Sure, it was a little cliché(陈旧的), but it was that moment that taught me how to be a leader. It hit me then that I may have been a captain, but I, like others in my position, certainly didn"t deserve the role. As a leader you can never quit on the team who looks up to you. It is one thing to be named captain and feel great and go through the motions, but it is quite another to be a real captain and make sure everyone works to their potential all the time.
I am sure it is great to go through high school without losing and bringing home awards. But in all honesty, I relish the fact that my team lost every game last year. It may not help me to become a better basketball player, but it already has made me a better leader, and person.
77.What was the biggest problem with the author"s team last season?
A. Several key members were unable to play the games.
B. Their coach no longer wanted to instruct them.
C. There were no actual leaders on the team.
D. Most of players lost hope and wanted to quit.
78.In the text, the author seems to suggest that a good leader should _______.
A. be confident about himself
B. make sure everyone goes all out
C. work hard to win the games
D. feel great about his team
79.By saying "we owe it to each other to give it our all every game." (Paragraph 4) the teammate means that all of them should ________.
A. be responsible for the losses
B. try their best on the court
C. feel thankful for what they"ve done
D. get together to win every game
80.What is the main idea the author aims to express in the text?
A. Success is the result of hard work.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. One can learn something from the failure.
D. A real leader should never give up.

One very cool day in the spring of the year, my father, who was a farmer, was ploughing, and I, nine years old, was 36 the horse．I didn"t do the 37 very well as it was rather cold．It was a little 38 than I could do to manage the task．
"Dad," said I, "how long 39 I stay in field?"
"About an hour，" he answered．
An hour 40 a great while and I said, "I 41 I could go home now-my 42 aches."
"I am very sorry," said my father, "but can"t you 43 till it is time to go home for dinner?"
"I think not－my headache is getting to be pretty 44 ."
"Well," said he, 45 me off the horse, doubting my disease was rather in my heart than my head, "you may go home．I don"t want you to work 46 you are sick．Go straight home, and tell your mother that I say you must take a large bowl of rhubarb(大黄)．Tell her that I think it will 47 you much!"
There was no choice．I went home, of course, and I had to offer the 48 to my mother．I told her, 49 , that I thought my head was better, 50 not to take the terrible 51 ．But it was of no use and it was too late．She understood my case as 52 as my father did．She knew well enough my 53 was laziness．So she prepared a large bowl of rhubarb and I had to swallow all of it．Dear me! How bitter it was! I am sure I would rather ride the horse all day than to be doctored in that way．Since then I never told another 54 .
Honesty is the best policy． 55 it, though there is another and a better reason．
36．A feeding B．riding C．handling D．controlling

There is a new take on an old tale．It"s the story of the three
little pigs and the big bad wolf that blew down a house made of straw and one made of sticks．The only house left standing was
the one made of bricks．Now there is new evidence to suggest
that houses built with bales（捆）of straw can be very strong．
Pete Walker is a professor at the University of Bath in Britain．
He and a team of researchers there have built a house made out of straw bale and hemp（大麻） material．During the next twelve months the team will study die effectiveness of these materials in home building．Professor Walker says there are many good reasons for using straw．It"s a relatively inexpensive renewable material that"s quickly and easily available．Straw takes in carbon dioxide as it grows．So it can be seen as having no harmful effects the environment．And the straw bales walls are relatively thick and so all that straw provides very good thermal insulation．So we make buildings that require very little heating in winter or indeed very little cooling in summer．So they require very little additional energy．
David Lanfear owns an eco-friendly home building service in the United States called Bale on Bale Construction．He says he laughed when some friends first told him about houses built of straw．But after doing his own research, he learned that building with straw bales makes a lot of sense．He has now helped to build more than ten straw bale houses and says the building material is becoming more widely accepted．To build the houses, he fills a wood frame with tightly packed bales of straw．Next he coats the walls inside and out with layers of clay plaster．He says the common ideas about straw houses continue, including stories about the threat of fire．As a matter of fact, straw bale houses have done well when tested for fire resistance．And his builders use the same building methods as traditional builders to keep out rain．He says we use what we call good shoes and a good hat, and that would be a solid foundation and a really good roof．
68．According to the passage, Pete Walker ____．
A．is cooperating with David Lanfear in building houses
B．is pretty sure that straw is a good building material
C．is studying home building with his team at present
D．holds a different view of building materials from David Lanfear
69．If we live in houses built with bales of straw, we ____．
A．will be worried about the threat of fire
B．need to wear good shoes in severe weather
C．can reduce our household expense
D．should use a special method to keep out rain
70．In building straw houses, ____．
A．a solid foundation and a good roof are necessary
B．straw bales have to be tested for fire resistance
C．a wood frame of straw should be used as a good roof
D．builders should wear good shoes and a good hat

B．New Meaning Of an Old Tale
C．Pete Walker and David Lanfear
D．Solid Foundation and Good Roof
Jessica Tandy probably is best known for winning an Academy Award in 1989 for the movie Driving Miss Dairy. She was the oldest person to have won the award. But for many years, she had received praise for her great performances.
Jessica Tandy was born in London in 1909. After her father died, her mother taught and took other jobs at night to make extra money to raise her, three children. Jessica’s older brothers showed an interest in the theater and often put on shows at home. Jessica said later that she was terrible in all of them. But she said taking part in those plays as a child created a desire in her to be someone else.
Jessica loved going to the theater. This love led her to attend an acting school in 1924. She performed in her first play called The Manderson Girls at 18. But few people watched this play. In 1932, she married the famous actor Jack Hawkins. Their wedding pictures were on the front page of many British newspapers. In the same year, critics in London recognized her great acting skill in her performance in the play Children in Uniform.
In 1940, Jessica ended her first marriage and moved to the USA. In New York, she met actor Hume Cronyn. Two years later, they married and moved to Hollywood.
Her turning point came in 1947 when she played the lead part in Tennessee Williams’ play A Streetcar Named Desire. Tandy won the first of her four Tony awards for best actress in it. After that Hollywood producers began to choose her to be in the movie.
Jessica Tandy said she hated seeing herself in the movies. She was surprised when she won the Academy Award for Driving Miss Daisy. She said that the wonderful part she had made up for her lack of experience in movies.
68. Jessica’s early interest in acting came from __________.
A. her natural gift for acting B. her brothers’ influence
C. her hope of helping raise her family D. her mother’s encouragement
69. What made Jessica first widely known to the public?

a. Jessica performed in The Manderson Girls.
b. Jessica married Hume Cronyn
c. Jessica played the lead part in A Streetcar Named Desire.
d. Jessica moved to the USA.
A. a, d, b, c B. a, b, c, d C. b, d, a, c D. b, c, a, d
71. From the last paragraph, we can learn that __________.
A. Jessica wasn’t interested in acting in movies
B. winning the Academy Award was a surprise to Jessica
C. Jessica would perform better if given a better part

Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go . Death had never touched me so closely.
After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.
Enjoying life"s precious quirks ( 偶发事件 ) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isn"t content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the many blessings and successes that came with it.
I still get excellent grades, but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.
小题1:The reason why the author changed his idea of success is that ________ .
| A．he can"t afford his house |
| B．his beloved teacher was dead |
| C．he didn"t know what to do or where to go |
| D．he lost a few beloved persons in a short time |
| A．Being famous. | B．Truly living life each day. |
| C．Good car and big house. | D．Material achievements. |
| A．The true meaning of the life. | B．The true meaning of studying. |
| C．How to achieve success. | D．His opinion about success. |
| A．The writer thinks that success is not promised. |
| B．His teacher died before the death of his grandpa. |

| D．He didn"t want to take all the exams. |
