Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
In many countries the standard of living enjoyed by their people had increased rapidly in recent years. Sadly, not everyone in these countries is so fortunate and many people in rich countries are homeless.

The reasons for homelessness are various, but poverty (贫困) is undoubtedly one of the main causes. The homeless people may have become jobless and then been unable to pay their rent and so no longer have a_roof_over_their_heads. Often, the fact that unemployed people get help from the government prevents this from happening, but not always.
Some homeless people are mentally ill and have no one to look after them. Some are young people who, for one reason or another, have left home and have nowhere to live. Many of them have had a serious disagreement with their parents and have left home, choosing to go to a city and live on the streets. Sometimes they have taken such action because they have been unable to get on with a step parent.
Many homeless people get into the habit of begging to get enough money to stay alive, but many of the general public refuse to give anything to beggars. Often they are moved on by the police, being accused (指控), whether rightly or wrongly ，of forceful begging. There are many who disrespect homeless people.
Some cynics (愤世嫉俗的人)declare that homeless people choose to live the life which they lead. But who would willingly choose to live in a shop doorway, under a bridge or in a cardboard box?

D. the unemployed who receive help may still be among the homeless
答案与解析　D　从文中其次段最终一句可推知。
3. In Paragraph 2, “a roof over their heads” most probably means________.
A. a cap B. a car
C. a home D. a covering
答案与解析　C　由其次段其次句可得出答案。

B
Goats are amazing animals. They can survive just about anywhere. Altogether there are nine species of goats in the world.
Goats have more uses than you could ever imagine. Goat's meat can be eaten and goat's milk is becoming popular as a healthy choice to drink milk. Goat's milk is easier to take in than cow's milk and it is called universal milk as it can be used to bottle­feed most animals. In nutrition, it is also good. Goat's skins are still used today to make gloves and other items of clothing. The initial reasons for domesticating (驯化) goats were to get goat's hair, meat and milk. Goat's skins were used up until the Middle Ages for making bottles to hold water and wine for people who were travelling or camping.
Just like sheep, goats are considered to be the first domesticated animal. The domestication process began over 10,000 years ago in a North Iranian town. A lot of people keep goats as pets nowadays.
Goats are easily trained and you can teach them to pull carts and walk on ropes. Goats are also known for escaping their pens (圈). If you have unsecured fencing, your goats will be interested in it and test it out and soon you will know where the openings are. Goats are also widely known for their ability to climb trees, although the tree generally has to be at a slight angle.
If goats are raised correctly and trained from an early age, they never develop any bad habits. Goats will attack each other. However, if they're corrected from an early age they never attack humans or other animals.
5．The passage is written mainly ________.
A. to tell people how to raise goats
B. to let people know more about goats
C. to explain how goats are domesticated
D. to describe goats of different uses
答案与解析　B　本文通过介绍山羊的用途、驯化及习性等让人们更多地了解山羊这种动物。
6．Why is goat's milk called universal milk?
A. It is rich in nutrition and easy to take in.
B. It is good for our health.
C. It is suitable to feed most animals.
D. It is easy to get.
答案与解析　C　依据其次段第三句“... it is called universal milk as it can be used to bottle­feed most animals.”可知，羊奶被称为万能奶的缘由在于羊奶能用瓶装喂食大部分动物。
7．If you want to keep a goat as a pet, it is important ________.
A. to get along well with it
B. to find a professional trainer
C. to develop its ability
D. to train it when young
答案与解析　D　依据最终一段可知，山羊小时候格外简洁被驯化。
8．Which of the following words can best describe goats?
A. Curious and clever. B. Unfriendly and naughty.
C. Careful and lazy. D. Stubborn and quiet.
答案与解析　A　依据倒数其次段可知山羊易驯化，且它们会对不稳固的篱笆感爱好，会试着从里面跑出去。由此可推断，山羊是一种既聪慧又古怪   的动物。

How to Be Happy
Isn't happiness what we all really want? If we are happy, we can pass our happiness to the people around us, too. Here are a few pieces of advice on how to become a happy person or at least a little happier than we are now.
__1__ Most happy people have a good number of close friends in their lives. If you don't have many friends, try joining a club that holds your interests. Talk to people and listen to what they're talking about. Make new friends so that you will always have someone to care about you. __2__
Try to find something to do. When your day is filled with things to do, it gives you reason to get up in the morning. You will feel more of a sense of accomplishment (成就) at the end of the day. __3__ Those who are busier seem to be much happier than those who have too much time on their hands.
__4__ Being thankful for the things that you have will make you feel more satisfied. For example, you may not have a big house, but you do have a good family. If you feel you have nothing to be grateful for, be thankful for your ability to read, to see or to hear.
Share a joke with other people. A good joke can often make someone feel good about life. Find a few jokes and remember them. Tell these jokes to the people you know. Laughter is certainly a key to happiness. __5__
A. Join a club or social circles.

B. Learn to express your thanks.
C. Try to find something to laugh about each day.
D. Send a thank­you letter to one of your best friends.
E. Everything is good when new, but friends when old.
F. Friends can add fun and excitement to your life as well.
G. Usually people feel happier when they have things to do.
答案　1.A　2.F　3.G　4.B　5.C
