【題目】The Humane Society of Utah,a non-profit organization,is the largest shelter in the state because it takes every animal that can be lawfully accepted.The shelter employed photographer Guinevere Shuster,from New York,who came up with a creative way to find new homes for the dogs.She took lively photos for them.

The 31-year-old created sets of four pictures showing the playful and serious sides of each animal.Guinevere Shuster tried her best to show these dogs the way they'd really look if you allowed them into your life.She said,“I'm always trying to imagine better ways to make the poor animals attractive to the public.The photos show their great personalities and are a much better way than presenting them as the sad dogs waiting to be taken home.I'm lucky because I get to connect the two things I love most,animals and photography.”

Guinevere says she finds it easy to work with dogs.She said,“It's just me and the dog in the office so they can pay their attention to the photo-taking.I use a lot of treats and some funny noises I've learned to get the dogs' attention. A fun method is to throw treats at the dogs-it's useful for getting unusual looks from them.”

Since starting the project,a number of dogs have been taken home by dog lovers after they saw Guinevere's pictures on the Humane Society of Utah's Facebook page.In the last three years,she has photographed more than 4,000 animals.This year,the shelter has placed nearly 9,000 homeless pets into their permanent homes.

【解析】試題分析：The Humane Society of Utah是一個(gè)非盈利組織，是這個(gè)州最大的動(dòng)物庇護(hù)所。這個(gè)組織雇傭了攝影師Guinevere Shuster為這些動(dòng)物拍照，多虧了她拍攝的或頑皮或嚴(yán)肅的照片，許多狗被愛狗人士帶回家。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句The Humane Society of Utah,a non-profit organization,is the largest shelter in the state because it takes every animal that can be lawfully accepted.可知，這是一個(gè)非盈利的幫助無家可歸動(dòng)物的組織。故選D。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段Guinevere Shuster說的I'm always trying to imagine better ways to make the poor animals attractive to the public…. I'm lucky because I get to connect the two things I love most,animals and photography.可推斷，Guinevere Shuster總是努力為這些動(dòng)物拍出更具吸引力的照片，她感到幸運(yùn)因?yàn)榕恼瞻阉钕矚g的兩件事：動(dòng)物和拍照聯(lián)系在了一起。因此推斷她對(duì)拍攝動(dòng)物有極大的興趣。故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段首句Since starting the project,a number of dogs have been taken home by dog lovers after they saw Guinevere's pictures on the Humane Society of Utah's Facebook page.可知，自從開始這個(gè)項(xiàng)目以來，因?yàn)樵?/span>the Humane Society of Utah的Facebook主頁上看到了Guinevere拍攝的照片，很多狗被愛狗的人帶回家。因此推斷在Guinevere拍攝的照片被發(fā)布以后，許多狗被領(lǐng)養(yǎng)。故選C。

【4】觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段句子In the last three years,she has photographed more than 4,000 animals.This year,the shelter has placed nearly 9,000 homeless pets into their permanent homes.并結(jié)合二、三兩段內(nèi)容可知，作者在介紹Guinevere時(shí)客觀公正，沒有感情色彩。故選A。

Great Britain consists of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. On the 13th century Wales was linked to England. In 1603, they were joined to Scotland. They were united in peace instead of by war. Furthermore, just as they were going to get Ireland connecting to form United Kingdom, the southern part of Ireland was broke away, so only Northern Ireland joined with England.
England is the larger of the four countries and for convenience it was divided into three zone: the South of England, the Midlands and the North. Most of the population are settled in the South, and most of the industrial cities is located in the Midlands and the North.
London is the capital city with the great historical treasures, that has the oldest port built by the Romans in the 1st century AD, the oldest building begun by the Anglo Saxons in the 1060s and oldest castle constructed by later Norman rulers in 1066.

For the first time in the history of the Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou marathons, fourteen blind runners competed in the Nov 6 Hangzhou Marathon this year with the assistance of personal guides. Each runner was supported by 4 or 5 volunteers. Among them was Yan Wei, from a running group called “Running in the Dark”, which specially provides training for blind runners.
During trainings, blind runners are each accompanied by three volunteers. One volunteer is responsible for removing any obstacles（障礙物）on the road and controlling the pace. The second volunteer acts as a lookout for other runners or vehicles on the path while the third, who is attached to the blind runner by a safety rope, takes note of the trainee's running gait and pace.
Zhu Peihua, the leader of the group's Shanghai branch, first developed a passion for running last year when he took part in a guided running activity. Zhu said that he was so fascinated with the sport that he even bought a treadmill（跑步機(jī)）so that he could train at home. “Running gives me the chance to be outside and take in the fresh air. The activity has also made me more willing to talk to people. It's simply good for health, ” said Zhu.
The popularity of guided running activities for blind people has been growing since last year. Cheng Yi, a volunteer at Running in the Dark's Hangzhou branch, said that both the numbers of blind runners and volunteers to become assistants to them are rising continually. However, he added that volunteers face a more physically demanding task compared to a regular runner. Some of the other challenges involve being aware of the verbal(口頭的) instructions one gives.
“At the beginning, I kept saying ‘here' and ‘there' instead of ‘left' or 'right' which is much more specific and relevant to the runner. A blind runner once collided with another runner because of my mistake. Luckily, no one was hurt,” said Cheng. Through everything, according to Cheng, he and many of the blind runners he has guided become close friends with shared topics and increased understandings.
（1）“Running in the Dark” .
A.has 4 or 5 volunteers
B.is a very popular sports activity
C.helps people develop a passion for running
D.trains the blind to run
（2）This passage is most probably taken from a/an .
A.newspaper
B.advertisement
C.story book
D.scientific report
（3）What is the best title of the passage?
A.Making the World Different.
B.Meeting New Challenges.
C.Bringing Back Friendships.
D.Lending One's Feet and Eyes.
