The Labrador (拉布拉多猎犬) has won the honor of the most popular breed (品种) for the past eighteen years. It has been described as gentle, clever and friendly. Yet not all Labs are the same.
John Grogan discovered this after he and his wife adopted a Labrador that they named Marley. The dog caused Mr. Grogan a lot of trouble, but it also provided many stories for his newspaper articles. Later, he wrote a best-selling book, “Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog.”
Marley was happy and fun-loving. But he was also extremely large and difficult to control. He bit anything that he could find around the house, including plastic, clothing and jewelry. And he had a great fear of loud noises, especially thunderstorms. Unfortunately, the Grogans lived in Florida where many thunderstorms develop. Marley would attack the furniture, walls and doors until his feet bled if he was left alone in the house during a thunderstorm. Marley almost damaged their home several times.
John Grogan said that at first he considered that probably his dog could be trained to be a show champion. But he soon realized that was impossible. Marley didn’t like to learn skills that didn’t belong to dogs, and he was driven out of the dog training school for causing troubles for other dogs. He didn’t want to hide his emotions. He would show his anger and tiredness if he felt them.
Even if that, Marley still had earned a place in the Grogans’. He didn’t know how to dance, and he didn’t know how to walk on its two legs, but he was what he was. He would never be a Lassie or a Benji or an old Yeller for he would never like to take part in a dog show, but the Grogans accepted him and loved him very much.
61. The underlined word “this” in the second paragraph refers to the fact that ____.
A. not all dogs won the honor of the most popular breed B. not all Labs are gentle, clever and friendly
C. Marley caused the Grogans a few troubles D. Marley provided many stories for the newspaper articles
62. We can infer when John Grogan wrote the book “Marley and Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog.”, he was very ____.
A. angry B. disappointed C. happy D. frightened
63. What made Marley attack the furniture when he was left alone in the house during a thunderstorm?
A. The fear of hearing loud noises. B. The anger of being left alone.
C. The unhappiness of having no toys. D. The disappointment of getting nothing to eat.
64. Marley was driven out of the dog training school because he ____.
A. didn’t like to learn skills that didn’t belong to dogs B. made it difficult for other dogs to get trained
C. liked to attack the trainers when getting angry D. didn’t know how to hide his emotions
65. From the passage we can know ____.
A. every dog in America attends the dog training school B. a Lassie should be a troublesome dog just like Marley
C. Marley often lost his temper and bit other dogs D. Marley led a life full of love in the Grogans’

The Atlantic Ocean (大西洋) is one of the oceans that separate the Old World from the New. For centuries it kept the Americas from being discovered by the people of Europe.
The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific, but it is still very large. It is more than 4000 miles (6400km) wide where Columbus crossed it. Even at the narrowest it is about 2000 miles wide.
Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has very few islands. Also , it is the world's saltiest ocean.
There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water was brought to it by rivers. It would take the ocean about 4000 years to dry up. In most places the water is a little more than two miles deep, but in some places it is much deeper. The deepest spot measures 30 246 feet----almost six miles.
Ocean currents (洋流) are sometimes called “rivers in the sea ”. One of these “rivers ” in the Atlantic is called the Gulf Stream (墨西哥湾流). It is a current of warm water. Another is the Labrador Current----cold water coming down from the Arctic (北冰洋). Ocean currents affects(影响)the weather of the land near which they flow.
The Atlantic supplies much food for the people on its shores. There are a lot of fishing areas there.
Today the Atlantic is a great highway (交通干线). It is not, however, always a smooth and safe one. We now have such fast ways of travelling that this big ocean seems to have grown smaller. Columbus sailed for more than two months to cross it. A fast modern steamship can make the trip in less than four days. Planes fly from New York to London in only eight hours and from South America to Africa in four!
1．The Pacific is ________ as large as the Atlantic.
[ ]
2．The Atlantic is well-known for ________ .
[ ]
3．The weather of the lands near the ocean currents has ________ to do with the currents in temperature.
[ ]
4．Columbus crossed the Atlantic in more than two months, that's to say, he sailed ________ kilometres a day.
[ ]
5．If Jomolangma Peak (珠穆朗玛峰) were put in the deepest spot in the Atlantic , then we could ________ above the water.
