7.Goldie's Secret
    She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall.No way could I have sent her away.No way,not me anyway.Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before."We're moving house.';"No space for her any more with the baby coming.""We never really wanted her,but what could we have done?She was a present."People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal.And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
    I called her Goldie.If I had known what was going to happen I would have given
her a more creative name.She was so unsettled during those first few days.She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her.There was nothing I could do to make her happy,it seemed.Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's.But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down.Always by my side,whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
   That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk.We were a long way from home,when she started barking and getting very restless.Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
  By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie.But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them."We didn't know what had happened to her,"said the woman at the door."I took her for a walk one day,soon after the puppies were born,and she just disappeared.""She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,"added a boy from behind her.'
   I must admit I do miss Goldie,but I've got Nugget now,and she looks just like her mother.And I've learnt a good lesson:not to judge people.

解答 56.答案:B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由原文第2段She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her.There was nothing I could do to make her happy,it seemed.Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's.劃線(xiàn)句子表明作者同情被遺棄的小狗,希望幫助它高興起來(lái).
57.答案:A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第二段第二行"She was so unsettled during those first few days.She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her."可知在最初幾天里,她是如此的不安.她幾乎沒(méi)有吃任何東西,所以選A.
58.答案:D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由倒數(shù)第三段最后一句"Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could."最后我抱不住她了,于是她沖到地上,盡快地跑向遠(yuǎn)處的一個(gè)農(nóng)舍.可知她找到了自己熟悉的地方,所以選D
59.答案:A.推理判斷題.由第一段作者先發(fā)現(xiàn)狗、第二段第二行"She was so unsettled during those first few days、第五行But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down."可以推出答案,所以選A

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做此類(lèi)閱讀時(shí)要學(xué)會(huì)從事情本身的發(fā)展去理解故事情節(jié)而不要只看事件在文中出現(xiàn)的先后順序;注意作者的議論和抒情;把握作者態(tài)度;有章有據(jù)進(jìn)行解題判斷.

13.Across Britain,burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers,But,according to a new study,we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.
Mothers have long known that their home worked was just heavy as paid work.Now,the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours,they would earn as much as$172,000 a year.
The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do,as well as the hours they are working,to determine the figure.This would make their yearly income$3000more than the Prime Minister earns.
By analysing the numbers,it found the average mother works 119hours a week,40of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79hours as overtime.After questioning 1,000mothers with children under 18,it found that,on most days,mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour,it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on,including housekeeper,part-time lawyer,personal trainer and entertainer.being a part-time lawyer,at$48.98an hour,would prove to be the most profitable of the"mum jobs",with psychologist(心理學(xué)家)a close second.
It also asked mothers about the challenges they face,with 80percent making emotional(情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.
Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.
The study shoes mothers matter all year long and not just on,Mother's Day.The emotional,physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending,but children are also sources of great joy and happiness.Investing(投入)in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.

38.How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?B
A.£30,000.
B.£142,000.
C.£172,000.
D.£202,000.
39.The biggest challenge for most mothers is fromA.
A.emotional demand
B.low pay for work
C.heavy workload
D.lack of training
40.What is stressed in the last paragraph?B
A.Mothers'importance shows in family all year long.
B.The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.
C.Mothers'devotion to children can hardly be calculated.
D.Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.
41.What can we conclude from the study?C
A.Mothers'working hours should be largely reduced.
B.Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.
C.Mothers'labour is of a higher value than it is realised.
D.Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.

2.The freezing Northeast hasn't been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter,so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota,F(xiàn)lorida,my bags were packed before you could say"sunshine".I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(維生素C),thinking of beaches and orange trees.When we touched down to blue skies and warm air,I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.Swimming pools,wine tasting,and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours,not 4in the afternoon) filled the weekend,but the best part-particularly to my taste,dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables-was a 7a.m.a(chǎn)dventure to the Sarasota farmers'market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.
The market,which was founded in 1979,sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00am to 1p.m,rain or shine,along North Lemon and State streets.Baskets of perfect red strawberries,the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all,the tomatoes:amazing,large,soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken,vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise,I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years.No matter how attractive they look in the store,once I get them home they're unfailingly dry,hard,and tasteless.But I homed in,with uncertainty,on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand,full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist.These were the real deal-and at that moment,I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight,my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty,a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton,where-luckily for me-I was planning to have dinner that very night.Without even seeing the menu,I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.

24.What did the author think of her winter life in New York?B
A.Exciting.B.Boring.C.Relaxing.D.Annoying.
25.What made the author's getting up late early worthwhile?D
A.Having a swim.
B.Breathing in fresh air.
C.Walking in the morning sun.
D.Visiting a local farmer's market.
26.What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?B
A.They are soft.
B.They look nice.
C.They taste great.
D.They are juicy.
27.What was the author going to that evening?A
A.Eat in a restaurant.
B.Check into a hotel.
C.Go to a farm.
D.Buy fresh vegetables.
