其次部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节　(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Human beings had used speech as a means of communication long before writing was invented.Writing represents，or symbolizes the sounds we make when we speak.Written language is usually more formal than speech.In a typical conversation，a speaker will stop and start，leave a sentence unfinished，and say “er” or “um” when thinking about what to say next.Written language，by contrast，is much tidier and more organized.If you were to write down exactly what people were saying in a casual conversation，you would end up with a very ragged and untidy piece of writing.Also，in a conversation，speakers often predict what someone is about to say next，and interrupt，or talk briefly，at the same time as another person.
When you speak，you can add color to what you say in a number of ways.You can make your voice louder so that it will carry and have real impact；you can stress certain important words or phrases so that your listeners pay special attention to them；you can alter your tone，making your voice rise and fall as you speak；you can alter the pace at which you speak，speeding up or slowing down to make your speech more interesting.Experienced public speakers become expert at using these techniques.In everyday speech using these techniques naturally makes for lively and interesting conversation.
Language can be formal or informal.Slang，which is a form of language consisting of words made up or changed in meaning for effect，is the most informal；colloquial language，which is everyday speech，is less informal.The most formal language is the type used in a court of law.
It is important not to confuse slang and dialect.Dialect is a way of speaking that belongs to a particular locality.For instance，the Alabama，USA，is a kind of dialect.
Language is one of the finest achievements of the human race.It can be used or abused，but it has enormous power to influence.A_world_without_language_would_not_be_the_world_that_we_know_today.
36．What does the underlined sentence mean?
A．Language has changed the world a bit.
B．Man cannot live without language.
C．Language has played a very important role in human life.
D．Language is used for communication in the modern world.
37．What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us about language?
A．The invention of writing.
B．Speech as a means of communication.
C．Differences between speech and writing.
D．The characteristics of a casual conversation.
38．The author states that slang and dialect________.
A．refer to two different varieties of language
B．represent different levels of formality in language use
C．are both manifestation of language in the written mode
D．become one concept when it comes to spoken language
39．Which of the following best reveals the author’s attitude towards language?
A．Favorable.　　　　　　 B．Doubtful.
C．Emotional. D．Critical.

Another approach to winterizing dogs is to protect their feet with dog boots or socks.More and more dogs are wearing them.You may laugh，but it makes a lot of sense.If you plan on going this route，I would suggest you purchase them now to let your dog get used to them.My dogs adjusted in a fairly short time because I was consistent in putting them on.Make sure that whatever you purchase is easy to put on.Dogs don’t like to stand still for a long time while you attach strange things to their feet.
In addition to boots，I’m all for coats，blankets for dogs，I think they are suitable for small dogs，older dogs，and house dogs.But wait for the really cool weather.If you are walking consistently，your dog will build up a heavier fur coat and this will help.Common sense will tell you when to start using a coat.Purchase one locally so that you can try it on your dog.If you’re handy with a sewing machine，you can make one yourself.I took an old blanket coat for one of my dogs and used it as a pattern for one of my other dogs.
Many dogs get lost during snowy conditions.To keep your pup safe，have_him_on_a_leash at all times，or within eye distance if you are absolutely sure that your dog will reliably come on command.Never allow your dog on a frozen lake，even at the edge.It isn’t worth the danger that your pup may fall through a thin patch of ice.Even though many dogs like to eat the fluffy(松软的)white stuff，snow will not provide the hydration(水分)your dog needs.If you will be out walking，hiking with your dog for an extended length of time，you must bring fresh water for your companion.If the weather outside is frightful，don’t leave poor pet shivering in the cold.Even if he is an “outside dog”，there are conditions where it is cruel (and illegal)，to leave a dog outside.
40．What is the best title for this text?
A．Cold Weather Care for Dogs
B．Ways of Protecting Dogs
C．How to Raise Dogs
D．How to Walk Dogs

C．convenient to wear D．thick enough
42．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean?

C．Feed the dog. D．Watch the dog.
43．While walking the dog in winter，what should we do?
A．Never feed them the fluffy white food.
B．Always keep it in sight.
C．Never walk it along a lake.
D．Always put an old blanket on the dog.

Birds are such lovely creatures that people cannot help but enjoy watching them.This is the very reason for the establishment of various bird watcher clubs around the world.Membership to most of these clubs is usually free.By signing up with any of them，you get invitations to various activities，like birding trips and birding tours that they organize each year.
One of these bird watcher clubs is called the New Haven Bird Club.Every year it hosts a non－competitive international birding event.This event has recently been called the “Big Sit”，which observes a certain bird every year that is referred to as the “golden bird”．People from all parts of the world are invited to participate and it is for free.The event is very simple.You just have to look for a nice spot for bird watching—like one with a great view of the various habitats and dwelling (居住) places of birds.Then，together with the other participants，you make a huge circle—whether real or imaginary—and sit within it for 24 hours.You have to count all the bird species that you heard or saw within that 24－hour time period.Such a simple concept encourages many to participate.It does not take much effort and，in fact，most who have tried participating before find it very relaxing.It is a nice break from busy day－to－day living.Although the activity is non－competitive，participants have the opportunity to win something.The circle with the highest count wins the Big Sit “Braggin” rights.What is most targeted though is the prize for the circle that first finds the “golden bird” of the year.
These types of fun activities are very common for bird watcher clubs.There are also fund raising campaigns from time to time which are necessary to continue their causes.The Big Sit activity，for one，is considered by other clubs as a great opportunity to raise funds and promote their activities.
Around the world，you will not have a hard time finding a bird watcher club to join as there are indeed many of them.The New Haven Bird Club is just one among the many.What is important is that when you do join oneyou believe in their causes and are willing to do everything to care for the birds.

A．find a golden bird
B．give away some money to the club
C．watch birds within a certain district

Successful women with demanding jobs are almost twice as likely to suffer a heart attack，a research shows.
Those with highly stressful careers (职业) are more at risk from strokes(中风)，high blood pressure and heart trouble.Women who say their role requires them to work very hard with little opportunity to use their creative skills are 40 percent more likely to develop heart disease or need surgery，American researchers found.They are 88 percent more likely to suffer a heart attack than those with more relaxed jobs—almost double the risk.
Traditionally doctors have always believed that men under pressure at work are far more likely to fall victim to heart disease.But these latest findings from researchers at Harvard Medical School in Boston show women are just as easily harmed—particularly as they often face the added stress of dealing with a family.
The study，which was presented to the American Heart Association’s annual conference in Chicago，showed that successful women were 43 percent more likely to need heart surgery.The researchers looked at the records of more than 17,400 women in their 50s and 60s who all provided details on their work stress and job insecurity.Those with highly stressful roles，who felt they did not have t
