    11．My wife and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year．Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month．We were busy through those hot summer months，driving between visits．Our services were strictly held at the pet owner's home．It was almost too busy for the two of us，but we were making good money!
    We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves．
    One day，we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave．We met the family，filled in a form，and spent some time with their dog，Hercules．He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue．The family laughed as he did this，showing us that he was very loving．
    Two days later I appeared at the house，alone．I came up to Hercules and said hello happily．I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made．Meanwhile，he was so lovely sitting beside．I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners，a usual service．After the light and"click"sound went off，Hercules rushed at me．I didn't know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood．I ran out and did the only thing-calling my wife．
    Then I went to neighbors for help．My wife arrived after ten minutes．The helpful neighbor and my wife led Hercules back into his pen （圈）．Then my husband and I took off to the hospital．
    I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital．The nurses quickly moved me to a room．I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner，"Am I going to die？"He replied，"Finally．"

    分析 文章介绍作者和妻子的工作是给主人的宠物拍照片，这项服务很受欢迎，虽然很忙，但是他们的收入很可观，但是有一次作者在工作的时候，却被一个宠物袭击了．

    解答 28：C 细节理解题：从第一段的句子：It was almost too busy for the two of us，but we were making good money!可知作者的工作报酬很丰厚，选C．
    29：D  细节理解题：从第四段的句子：I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners，a usual service．可知作者的工作是给主人的宠物拍照片，选D
    30：A  细节理解题：从第四段的句子：After the light and"click"sound went off，Hercules rushed at me．I didn't know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood．可知作者被袭击是因为Hercules 害怕声音和闪光，选A
    31：B  推理判断题：从文章最后一句话：I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner，"Am I going to die？"He replied，"Finally．"医生说"最后"，人最后当然都会死的，所以可以推断医生的回答很幽默，选B．

    点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是，仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案，这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱．所谓阅读理解，对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文，因此，每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查，再得出答案．也就是说，阅读理解的每一道题目，在原文都应该有明确的出处，我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句，（1）排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项（2）排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 （3）排除用于过于极端或负面的选项（4）注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除．

    4．Raised in a fatherless home，my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children．His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college．I had to ride the bus whenever I came home．Though the bus stopped about two miles from home，Dad never met me，even in sever weather．If I grumbled， he'd say in his loudest father-voice，"That's what your legs are for!"
    The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads．I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety．But that feeling was canceled one spring evening．
    It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs．I longed for home．When the bus reached the stop，I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home．
    A row of hedge（树篱）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house．Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey，I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home．On that particular evening，the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge，moving toward the house．Upon closer observation，I realized it was the top of my father's head．Then I knew，each time I'd come home，he had stood behind the hedge，watching，until he knew I had arrived safely．I swallowed hard against the tears．He did care，after all．
    On later visits，that spot of gray became my watchtower．I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery．Upon reaching home，I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair．"So!My son，it's you!"he'd say，his face lengthening into pretended surprise．
    I replied，"Yes，Dad，it's me．I'm home．"

    21．What does the underlined word"grumbled"in Paragraph 1probably mean？D
    A．Accepted happily．
    B．Explained clearly．
    C．Agreed willingly．
    D．Spoke unhappily．
    22．What made the author feel upset wasC．
    A．the tiredness after long hours in labs 
    B．the fear of seeing something moving
    C．the feeling of being less than valued  
    D．the loneliness of riding the bus home
    23．The author's father watched behind the hedge becauseA．
    A．he was concerned about his son's safety
    B．he wanted to help his son build up courage
    C．he didn't want to meet his son at the doorway
    D．he didn't think his son was old enough to walk alone
    24．Which of the following can be the best title for the text？A
    A．My Father's Secret．
    B．My College Life．
    C．Terrible Journey Home．
    D．Riding Bus Alone．

    6．Beware first-class travelers!Passengers sitting in the rear of a plane have the best chance of survival in an event of a crash，an extraordinary and costly aviation（航空，飞行）experiment ever （33）conducted （conduct） has revealed．
    In a unique aviation experiment recently，the 170-seat-Boeing 727was made（34）to crash （crash） in a controlled manner in a remote part of Mexico's Sonoran Desert．After pilot James Slocum jumped out of the plane at 2，500ft，the jet（35）was guided  （guide） into the ground by a pilot in a following Cessna via a remote-control device，the reporters reported．On board of the jet were three advanced crash-test dummies（假人）designedto move （36）like humans．
    They were arranged in three positions：one in the classic brace and wearing a seat-belt； one belted but not in the brace position； and one（37）neither belted nor in the brace．After the jet hit the ground nose-first，experts found that the dummy in the brace position would have survived the impact，（38）the one not in the brace would have suffered serious head injuries，and the dummy not wearing a seat-belt would have"died"．
    Using this，experts predicted that 78percent of passengers on board would have survived the impact，（39）but all the first-class travelers would have died because the front of the fuselage（机身）broke apart when the plane comes down nose first．Those sitting at the back would have had the（40）best （good） chance of survival．

    3．People laugh and people cry．But it is thought that emotions such as anger，or joy，typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed．The shedder of tears（落泪者）is likely to apologize，even when a great tragedy was the cause．The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears．But judging from recent studies of crying behavior，both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive（适得其反）．
    Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional tears．Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses，it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival．
    Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance from others（as a crying baby might from its mother），the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help．Vocal（出声的）cries would have been quite enough，more likely than tears to gain attention．So，it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves．
    Indeed，the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in easing stress．University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears．Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion．Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion would contain no such substance．
    Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs．At Tulane University's Tear Analysis Laboratory Dr．Peter Kastl and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse，to study the causes of"dry eye"syndrome（综合征）and the effects of eye surgery，and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants．

    60．What does the underlined phrase"both those responses"in Paragraph1refer to？D
    A．Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness．
    B．The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings of the observers．
    C．Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical composition of tears．
    D．The tear shedder's apology and the observer's effort to stop the crying．
    61．It is known from the first paragraph thatA．
    A．shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to Americans
    B．crying may often result in tragedy
    C．crying usually wins sympathy from other people
    D．one who sheds tears in public will be blamed
    62．What does the author say about crying？C
    A．It is a pointless physiological response to the environment．
    B．It must have a role to play in man's survival．
    C．It is meant to get attention and assistance．
    D．It usually produces the desired effect．
    63．From the passage we can infer thatB．
    A．it is unnatural for people to shed tears
    B．we can reduce our stress by shedding tears
    C．shedders of tears can't get help by crying loudly
    D．unlike animals，humans can shed tears for survival．

    Meanwhile，the Texas police called the international telephone operator and asked to be connected to the proper agency（机构） in Finland．The Texas police explained the situation and gave Susan's address to the Finnish operator．When Sean heard that，he typed，"Help is on the way．"
    In the few minutes，the library door opened．Doctors and three policemen ran in．Taija turned once more to the computer，"They are here．Thanks．Bye-bye．"

    8．Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However，whether you are on the mountains，in the waves，or on the grassland，you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment．
    Some sports are resource-hungry．Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also tons of water．Besides，all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition．This causes major environmental effects．For example，in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain，golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas．
    There are many environmental-friendly sports．Power walking is one of them that you could take up today．You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes； and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free，power walking can also keep you fit．If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and have better weight control．
    Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environmental-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials．But the final goal should be"green gyms"．They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers．Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership．And best of all，it's free．
    33．The author thinks the golf is resource-hungry because of the following EXCEPT thatD．
    A．Golf wastes large areas of countryside
    B．Golf runs out of much water
    C．Keeping golf court in good condition needs too much energy
    D．Golf is bad for people's health
    34．According to the passage，which of the following is an environment-friendly sport？B
    A．swimming in the pool            
    B．hiking in the hills
    C．playing basketball in the gym                     
    D．motor racing in the desert
    35．The reason why the author uses power walking as an example mainly is thatC．
    A．it improves our health                            
    B．it is an outdoor sport
    C．it uses fewer resources                           
    D．it is recommended by experts
    36．The passage is developed mainly byB．
    A．examples and explanation          B．comparison and persuasion（劝说）
    C．facts and descriptions            D．figures and conclusion．
