Section B
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrases that best fits the context.
I have been told in China, having a pet, particularly a dog, is often considered to be a status symbol because it shows the family can   36   to have an animal. It is different here.
In Canada it is   37   for people to have pets. Many people have dogs. Many others have cats and there are people who keep fish, birds or rabbits. Some keep what we call exotic pets. These might be ferrets, snakes or almost any other animal you can think of, although keeping   38   pets is often difficult and because it can also be hard on the animal. The keeping of some exotic animals is not allowed by law.
Now, my wife and I live in a small town. We no longer have a   39   --- we live in an apartment. We have a cat named Callie and she never goes out   40   onto the balcony so cars are no longer an issue. She’s about sixteen years old and will probably live to be twenty or more. The   41   will come when she dies and we no longer have a pet. We have had a pet for so long it seems like a natural part of our lives and without a cat around the house it will seem somehow   42 . On the other hand, we are getting older and given that a cat can live about twenty years we wonder if we will ever have another after Callie goes. Cats are cutest, of course, when they are small kittens but a kitten is   43   for a longer time than we may have left.
I think having a pet is very good for a number of reasons. It helps to teach children how to look after a   44   creature, makes them realize that animals have feelings just like we do and that, in many ways, we depend on each other. For older people like me an animal is a   45   and a comfort to have around, a pet, properly treated, returns the favor by   46   unconditional love. Wouldn’t this world be a great place if people could learn how to do that.
36. A. buy                      B. afford            C. supply             D. provide
37. A. common               B. unusual            C. particular          D. public
38. A. aboard                B. domestic           C. excited              D. exotic
39. A. dormitory            B. home                    C. family              D. house

Both the Eskimos and the Plains Indians used open fires in their shelters for warmth but with very different consequences(结果)．The Eskimo house was an airtight igloo made of blocks of ice with a small tunnel-like entrance and a small chimney in the center for smoke from the fire．Temperatures inside the structure easily reached 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit although outside temperatures frequently dropped well below zero．Often the igloo was so hot that the loss of body fluid through perspiration would force the Eskimos to drink cup after cup of ice water．The Plains Indians, on the other hand, placed their fire in a tepee, made with long poles and animal skins with an entrance cut directly into one wall．In contrast with the Eskimo shelter, the tepee was far from airtight; drafts(穿堂风)came in around the door and through gaps between the skins．At night, the Indians would crawl under their blankets, cover their heads, and shiver all night－so much that the blanket would shake!The difference between the Eskimo igloo and the Indian tepee was insulation.(密封性)：the igloo’s walls were solid and airtight whereas those of the tepee permitted a great deal of air to enter．

(1)

This passage most likely occurs as part of ________．
[　　]
A．	a weather forecast
B．	a book on fire prevention．
C．	a report on animal conservation
D．	a magazine on house construction

(2)

From the passage it can be inferred that ________
[　　]
A．	to enter an Eskimo house, one had to go through a long tunnel
B．	the Eskimo igloo had better insulation than the Indian tepee
C．	the Plains Indians enjoyed living in their shelters in winter days
D．	there was a small chimney in every Indian tepee to release smoke from the fire

(3)

This passage is written mainly to ________．
[　　]
A．	compare
B．	tell a story
C．	amuse the readers
D．	report a scientific discovery

阅读理解

　　One night in March 1999, a man was driving from California to Oregon, US, to visit some friends．He had stopped his car to have some food when he started to hear strange noises．Turning on the headlights, he saw an 8-foot-tall creature covered in thick, dark hair．The creature stared at him for a minute, turned in the road and walked off slowly into the woods．

　　In the past 50 years alone, there have been thousands of reported sightings of similar creatures in the US, Canada, the Himalayas(喜马拉雅山地区)and even Hubei Province in China．The creature is known as bigfoot．

　　Bigfoot is said to be a very tall(between 2 and 4.5 metres), ape-like(类人猿似的)creature that is covered in hair and walks upright on two legs．It is very wary(警惕的)of human beings．

　　Believers think bigfoot is a direct descendent(后代)of ancient gigantopithecus(巨猿)．But it remains one of the planet’s undiscovered secrets．There is a little evidence(证据)to support the believers’ theory：traces of hair, footprints and body prints as well as the reported sightings．Some people have even showed what they say with photos or films of bigfoot．

　　But so far, no one has found bones or any other definite proof that the giant creature exists．

　　As a result many people believe the evidence is just part of a big trick．

　　The footprints are easy to make, they say：all you need do is to make two large feet out of plaster(石膏), attach them to the bottom of your shoes and walk with big steps．As for the photos and films, they are just people dressed in ape suits．

　　They also say the sightings are not real, just people making mistakes．For example, bigfoot could be a bear living in the wild that sometimes stands up on its back legs．

(1)

So far what we can be sure about is that ________．
[　　]
A．	there exist savages(野人)in several places in the world
B．	there are some traces of hair, footprints and body prints of the “bigfoot”
C．	bigfoot is a direct descendent of ancient gigantopithecus
D．	all the bigfoots discovered have the same look

(2)

It was in ________ that man first found the ape-like creature．
[　　]
A．	1999
B．	the 1960’s
C．	the 1950’s
D．	the 1940’s

(3)

The article infers but doesn’t say so that some people ________ bigfoot’s existence．
[　　]
A．	may fool the world into believing
B．	have definite evidence to prove
C．	refuse to believe
D．	will soon offer proofs of

(4)

If bigfoot is just a misunderstanding, what they saw might NOT be ________．
[　　]
A．	apes
B．	bears
C．	gigantopithecus
D．	people dressed in animal skins
