A
The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments—outside the jeweler’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a young assistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewellery and was a little worried about over-spending. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the one she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied. James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful bird, which was very curious about hell. When she was little, her mother always told her that if she didn’t master the flying skills, she would go to hell. She was so curious about hell that she always asked others what hell looked like, but no one was sure, because none of them had ever been there. Some said hell was a place full of water, and others told her that hell was full of burning fire. However, the bird knew they were lying. She wanted to find out what hell was.
When other birds were learning flying skills, she always hid herself and watched them. She thought in this way she could go to hell and see what hell looked like. However, she spent so little time learning flying skills that one day she was caught by a little boy. The little boy gave her to his grandpa in the countryside as a gift. The old man liked her very much. He made a delicate cage and put her in it. The bird was very worried because she thought she couldn’t find out what hell was like staying in this small cage. However, she couldn’t escape. Day after day, she just stayed in the cage, watching other birds flying. She lost her freedom and she became sadder and sadder. At last, she became ill. The old man finally opened the cage, but she was too weak to fly. Lying on the ground, she thought of the question that she ever asked all the time.
“What does hell look like?”
“Hell is a small well-decorated cage.” Before she closed her eyes forever, she finally answered that question herself.
5．What does the underlined word “master” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Miss. B. Finish. C. Follow. D. Learn well.
6．Why did the bird hide herself when other birds were learning flying skills?
A. Because she was lazy.
B. Because she didn’t like learning flying skills.
C. Because she thought she could go to hell by doing this.
D. Because she thought she didn’t have to learn flying skills.
7． According to the passage, the bird at last found that ___________.
A. hell was a place full of water.
B. hell was a place full of burning fire
C. there was no hell
D. hell was a small well-decorated cage

Dear Editors,
On my way to work every morning I drive by a farm where I can see some horses off in the distance in the woods. They are there every single morning no matter how cold or rainy or windy it is. There is a shed(牲口棚）on the farm, but it doesn’t look to me that the horses are ever taken into the shed. Is this right? I don’t think horses should be treated like this.
Sam
Dear Sam,
Thanks for taking an interest in these horses. Problems about the care of horses are different from cats and dogs. Think of wild horses that spend their whole lives outdoors finding whatever food and shelter（遮蔽物）they can on their own. The point is that horses don’t require as much shelter as a lot of other farm animals. However, that doesn’t mean that they don’t need some shelter.
It is hard to tell from your letter whether the situation for these horses is unacceptable. Above all, do you know the people who own the horses well enough to just talk to them as a neighbor and express your concern (关注)? Maybe they will tell you that the horses do go in the shed at night.
If direct contact (联系）is not a choice and you can see that the horses’ situation is poor, then call 911, report the situation and ask law enforcement officers (执法官员) to look into it.
If you just can’t see enough to prove such a report, call the Oswego Court Humane Society on 207-1070 for help from the Large Animal Assistance Project (LAAP). A volunteer from the project will help solve the problem.
Speaking of volunteer assistance, since you appear to be a horse lover, why not talk to the LAAP about volunteer opportunities for you? It’s big job, but totally rewarding, and the project always needs knowledgeable horse people to help.
8．Sam writes to the editors in order to____________.
A. ask how to keep horses in changeable weathers.
B. discuss whether some horses are badly treated
C. express his strong interest in keeping horses
D. describe some beautiful horses he has seen
9．Compared with cats and dogs, horses ________.
A. need less shelter
B. prefer living indoors
C. can predict bad weathers
D. like finding food by themselves
10．What do the editors advise Sam to do first?
A. To call 911 for help
B. To find a volunteer from the LAAP
C. To contact the horses’ owner directly.[KS5UKS5U]
D. To call the Oswego County Humane Society.
11．In the last paragraph of the second letter, the editors_______.
A. hope Sam can be more knowledgeable
B. stress the importance of volunteering
C. encourage Sam to join the LAAP
D. suggest Sam change his job
D
In the tenth grade，I began working for free at a vet’s that was run by a friend. I wanted to get experience for what I thought would be my future job. However，on one particular Saturday morning I learnt something perhaps more important.
The hospital was in the middle of one of the poorer sections of the city and some people could only 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. There was something wrong with the cat’s left eye. But the man could not afford to pay for the cost of the medicine. He kept quiet for a while，and then he asked where the nearest animal shelter was. Hearing this，his son cried and started to argue with him. All of a sudden，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 the cost. The man thanked her and the son got to keep a healthy cat.
I always thought it was the right thing to help out a needy person，but I only saw people do acts of kindness on TV or in movies. What the woman did made me believe that these things do happen in real life，and quite often.
Now，when I can’t decide whether to help someone who is in need，I remember this woman，and then I have the courage to step up to the plate. Sometimes other people follow.
12．We can infer that a vet’s is most probably a hospital for .
A．kids B．animals C．the poor D．women
13．For what purpose did the writer work at the vet’s?
A．To help out his friend.
B．To make some pocket money.
C．To get some work experience.
D．To learn more about society.
14．What would the man probably do with the cat if the woman didn’t help him?
A．Give it up. B．Give it to the woman.
C．Give it to someone on the street. D．Take it home without treatment.
15．What can we learn from this passage?
A．The man doesn’t like keeping a cat.
B．The older woman often helps people out.
C．The hospital often asks for too much money.
D．The man’s son didn’t agree to the man’s first decision.

I’m not so sure I like my friends any more. I used to like them — to be honest. We’d have lunch, talk on the phone or exchange e-mails, and they all seemed normal enough. But then came Facebook and I was introduced to a sad fact: many of my friends have dark sides that they had kept from me.
Today my friends show off the more unpleasant aspects of their personalities via Facebook. No longer hidden, they’re thrown in my face like TV commercials — unavoidable and endless advertisements for the worst of their personalities.
Take Fred. If you were to have lunch with him, you’d find him warm, and down-to-earth. Read his Facebook and you realize he’s an unbearable, food-obsessed bore. He’d pause to have a cup of coffee on his way to save a drowning man — and then write about it.
Take Andy. You won’t find a smarter CEO anywhere, but now he’s a CEO without a company to lull. So he plays Mafia Wars on Facebook. He’s doing well — level 731. Thanks to Facebook, I know he’s playing about 18 hours a day. Andy, you’ve run four companies — and this is how you spend your downtime? What happened to golf? What happened to getting another job?
Take Liz. She is positive that the H1N1 vaccine will kill us all and that we should avoid it. And then comes Chris who likes to post at least 20 times a day on every website he can find, so I get to read his thoughts twice, once on Facebook and once on Twitter.
In real life, I don’t see these sides of people. Face to face, my friends show me their best. They’re nice, smart people. But face to Facebook, my friends are like a blind date which goes horribly wrong.
I’m left with a dilemma. Who is my real friend? Is it the Liz I have lunch with or the anti-vaccine lunatic(狂人)on Facebook? Is it the Fred I can grab a sandwich with or the Fred who weeps if he’s at a party and the wine isn’t up to his standards?
16． What’s Andy probably busy in doing now?
A. He’s running his company.
B. He’s playing golf all day.
C. He’s looking for another job.
D. He’s playing computer games.
17． Who is opposed to the H1N1 vaccine in the text?
A. Fred. B. Andy.
C. Liz. D. Chris.
18． According to the text, Facebook tends to ______.
A. present another side of people
B. offer some food for free
C. show endless advertisements
D. get you to more parties
19． The text is developed mainly by ______.
A. giving examples B. following the time order
C. listing figures D. raising questions
20． The author focuses on the question of ______.
A. what is Facebook B. what happened to golf
C. who is my real friend D. who can help me
