A
In the tenth grade, I began volunteering at a veterinary hospital that was run by a family friend in order to get experience for what I thought would be my future job. As it turns out, the experience I gained at the hospital taught me the opposite：That my future was not in veterinary medicine. However, there is one particular Saturday morning that taught me something maybe more important.
The hospital was in the middle of one of the poorer sections of the city and we frequently had people come in who just could not pay for the most basic treatments. On this Saturday a man and his young son, who was probably about 7 years old, walked in with a small cat in a cardboard box. I remember the cat had an eye infection(感染) but the man could not afford to pay for the cost of the medicine in addition to the exam. When he asked where the nearest animal shelter was, his son cried and started to argue with his father. Out of the blue, an older woman who was sitting in the waiting room stood up, walked up to the counter, and told the man that she would pay for anything that he could not afford. The man thanked her and the son got to keep a healthy cat.
I had always thought it was the right thing to help out a needy person, but only saw people perform acts of kindness on TV or in movies. The woman in the vet’s office taught me that these things do happen in real life, and should happen more often. When I am hesitant to be the first person to help someone who is in need, I remember this woman, and have the courage to do it. Sometimes other people follow.

B. The practical experience of the vet job.
C. How to deal with the owners of pets
D. The knowledge of vet medicine
23. What does the underlined phrase “Out of the blue” mean
A. Out of order B. All of a sudden C. Now and then D. First of all
24. The example of the woman made the author ________.
A. think helping others can be shown on TV
B. believe she was once shown in movies

B
Virginia is set to begin enforcing the toughest drunken-driving punishment, one that will require thousands of first-time offenders—whether they were highly drunk or slightly over the limit – to install(安装)in their cars blood-alcohol testing devices that can lock the ignition(发火装置). The devices work like this－A driver must blow into a blood alcohol device linked to the car’s ignition. If the result is higher than the legal limit, the car will not start. The device also requires random “rolling retests” once the driver is on the road.
The measure has caused a debate between groups battling drunken driving and those representing offenders. Such groups as Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Washington Regional Alcohol Program say that Virginia’s 274 alcohol-related road deaths and more than 5,500 injuries in 2010 remained unacceptably high despite years of cracking down on drunken driving. Ignition interlock devices, they say, reduce repeat offenses. But some public defenders and lawyers argue that the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders at the legal blood alcohol limit of 0.08, and that the court system will be burdened by more cases going to trial and lower-income drivers will be affected by the fees.
Del. Sal R. laquinto, who sponsored the bill, had a simple reply for concerns about the costs of the interlock devices: “How much does a life cost?” “Blowing into a tube for six months, you will remember that, ” Iaquinto said, “ and you are not likely to offend again. ”
25. The ignition probably refers to the part in a car where ______.
A. the alarm goes off B. the car is fueled
C. the key is placed D. the engine starts
26. Who are required to install the blood-alcohol devices according to the current law?
A. The repeat drunken-driving offenders.
B. The first time drunken-driving offenders.
C. Drivers whose blood alcohol level is below 0.15.
D. The drivers who are not able to pay offence fees.
27. Some groups support the new law because ______.
A. the government can be financed to build roads
B. some traffic deaths and injuries may be avoided
C. lower-income drivers will not afford to drink again
D. the court system is forced to work more effectively
28. The debate aroused by the measure suggests that ______.
A. justice has long arms
B. punishment is the key to all
C. no law is absolutely perfect
D. prevention is better than cure
C
In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射)so that they won’t carry diseases. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s houses, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.
People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.
29. The passage mainly talks about ______.
A. how to keep diseases from pets B. Canadians have pets as friends
C. how to take good care of pets D. life of the old in Canada
30. Pets are given injections in animal hospitals ______.
A. in order to keep them safe B. after being taken home
C. because they carry diseases D. because they are sick
31. The word “bird feeder” in the second paragraph probably means ______.
A. a person who gives food to birds B. a container that has food for birds
C. something that catches birds D. an animal that eats birds
D
Does your school have any problems with discipline? What happens when students step out of line?
Here are some examples of bad behaviour:
• Playing truant (missing school without permission from parents).
• Stealing, smoking, hitting, swearing, running, kissing.
• Cheating on exams.
• Calling a teacher or another pupil a bad name.
• Not doing homework.
• Not listening or not paying attention in lessons.
• Wearing unsuitable clothes.
Here are some of the ways that UK school children can be punished:
• Exclusion: a pupil is asked to leave the school and not come back. The pupil has to find a new school or a different method of education.
• Suspension: a pupil cannot enter the building or attend lessons until the school has a meeting about their situation. Suspension can last from one to 45 days. The pupil is usually given work to do at home with a special teacher.
• Detention: a pupil is asked to stay after school and work for 30-60 minutes before they can leave.
• Lines: a pupil has to write a sentence many times (e.g. 100 or more) on a sheet of paper, e.g. “I must not shout in class.”
Freya MacDonald, a 15-year-old pupil from Scotland, made the news when she refused to accept her school’s punishment. Her family says that she was given 11 detentions for trivial things such as having fizzy drinks in class and coming into school through a fire door.
Freya says that repeated detentions ruined her right to an education under Scottish law and made it difficult for her to learn. So she refused to return until the school respected her civil rights. She wants the headmaster and her teachers to sign a letter to promise this. Hundreds of schools in Scotland were told not to use detention as a punishment because of her legal action.
Many UK schools now give parents a home & school contract, explaining their discipline and rules. Parents must sign this document to agree that they accept the school’s rules and discipline and that they are responsible for their child’s behaviour.
32. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To list common bad behavior in UK schools.
B. To show how UK schools deal with students’ parents.
C. To find out why more and more pupils break rules in UK schools.
D. To introduce how UK schools punish students with their discipline.
33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A. Playing truant means using bad language.
B. You can wear anything you want in UK schools.
C. Exclusion is the most serious punishment in UK schools.
D. If suspended, the child will miss schoolwork.
34. Given her detentions, what did Freya do?
A. She used the law to argue for her civil right.
B. She forced the school to respect her civil rights.
C. She demanded that her teachers remove the punishment.
D. She would never return to the school.
35. According to the text, the home & school contract is intended to ________.
A. help parents learn more about their child’s performance at school
B. make parents reach agreement with the school rules
C. remind parents to teach their children school rules
D. ask parents to spend more time with their children

Many people think of guys as being carefree(无忧无虑的) when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do about their body image.
Body image is a person’s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. 36 You appreciate your body for its capabilities（能力） and accept its imperfections(不完美,缺陷).
37 Here are some ideas:
Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting. 38
Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques(体形) don’t just happen. 39 A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body! Practising good habits－regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes and so on－can help you build a positive body image.
40 Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit(智慧), and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.
A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you’re good at.
B. Be yourself.
C. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.
D. Just explore talents that you feel good about.
E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.
F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.
G. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?
