     I suppose that having been brought up in the countryside and close  to animals,it wasn't remarkable
(不平常的)when I decided  to become a vet(獸醫(yī)). Luckily I was also good at all the necessary science
subjects. So after the college entrance examination I found myself at a veterinary college,training to look
after animals in all kinds of situations. I hoped that I would be able to work in the research field so that I
could find cures for animal diseases.
      Much to my surprise,I found public health care was a very important aspect of my course. This is an
area of animal medicine where a vet's work has many things in common with the work of a doctor of
human diseases. I particularly liked it because I recognized that the study of animal diseases can help
human medicine. As we know,many infectious diseases come from animals-including SARS and bird flu.
Some of the infections have only been understood after carefully analytical work in labs by animal doctors. They helped identify the animal source for diseases such as SARS. They were also the first to identify
various kinds of viruses. Sometimes vets are also able to suggest a cure for human illnesses. When I found this out I was determined to make public health medicine my chosen career.
      After graduation,I applied for a job in public health. Soon I found myself concerned with the problem
of bird flu. This is  an illness that attacks birds,but humans can catch the disease  if they are in close
contact with infected birds. Though the job  is dangerous,it makes me proud that vets and other animal  
disease researchers are in the front line helping to fight these  unknown human diseases.

1. The writer wanted to become a vet mainly because______.

A. he did well in all necessary subjects
B. he wanted to help animals
C. he was close to animals in his early life

A. it was both important and interesting
B. it could help him connect many human diseases with animals
C. it made a vet's work very much like a doctor's
D. it could help human medicine by studying animal diseases

3. What can be followed if this passage continues?

A. The writer's happy family life.
B. How the writer did research work in studying bird flu.
C. How the writer dealt with the relationship with other workmates.
D. What difficulty the writer met in the research work.

4. Which of the following is implied in the passage?

A. Animals with infectious diseases should be killed.
B. Keeping animals is dangerous to humans.
C. Dangerous as a vet's job is,it is significant to the human race.
D. Animal researchers work in the same way as human doctors.

5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

B. Vets can cure both animals and humans.
C. Vets helped identify animal resources for SARS.
D. Both SARS and bird flu are infectious diseases coming from animals.

四、閱讀理解
There’s a box of chocolates in the fridge. It’s been there for more than a week since I was given it as a present. I do love chocolates, but they make me fat if I eat too many! Can I control myself? If I eat one, will I have to eat all of them?
My son Harry is obsessed with playing Wii(/wi:/, 任天堂的一款游戲機(jī)) games. Sometimes, it’s difficult to get him to concentrate on his homework because he wants to play some more.
Last week I had to wake up a student in my class. I asked him why he was so tried and he said he had stayed up late to play his favourite Internet game, Farmville. He said he just couldn’t stop playing it! Now his academic work is suffering because he can’t control his urge to play games.
What my son, my student, and I myself need is simply self-control.
In the late 1960’s, American psychologist Walter Mischel launched an experiment about self-control. He left a group of four-year-olds in a room and told them that if they could wait 20 minutes, they could have two marshmallows, a kind of sweet. If they couldn’t wait, he would only give them one.
In videos of the experiment, you can see children squirming, kicking, hiding their eyes—desperately trying to control themselves. Some did wait patiently, while others couldn’t wait a single minute.
Years later, the self-controlled children turned out to get higher SAT scores and got into better colleges. The children who couldn’t wait were more likely to become bullies.
So, the chocolates are still in the fridge. My son Harry is doing his homework with a promise that he can play on the Wii later, and my student says he will try harder to control himself. We all have our own temptations. But if we can control them, we will achieve more.
56. Which of the following is different from the other three?
A. The writer.                                          B. Harry.
C. The writer’s student.                             D. Walter Mischel.
57. We can know from paragraph 5 to paragraph 7 that____________.
A. all the children got two marshmallows
B. all the children waited patiently  
C. self-control can help children succeed later
D. the children who lack self-control get higher SAT scores
58. Which of the following statement is true?
A. The writer is addicted to Wii.
B. The writer’s son is addicted to Farmville.
C. The writer’s student is addicted to chocolates.
D. The writer’s student is addicted to Farmville.
59. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 5?
A. Something we can eat.                   B. A kind of toy.
C. A kind of mushroom.                     D. A kind of prize.

      China's "Little People's Kingdom"is a theme park,where little people dance and sing in fairytale
costumes,drawing both curious groups and criticism.The theme park,near Kunming City in Yunnan
Province,employs 108 dwarfs from across the country,who gather on an artificial hillside twice a day to
dance and sing for tourists.And all pretend to live in a tiny hilltop village.
     The guests can watch shows like comedies,group dance and acrobatics.The show's centerpiece,a
funny performance of Swan Lake,sees performers dressed in special pink costumes and pretending to be
little swans."The first time I performed it (Swan Lake)I felt a bit embarrassed.I had never worn a skirt like that before.But later,once I got used to it,I found I could do it very well,"said Chen Ruan,21,from Hunan
Province who joined the park when it opened.
      For many of the employees,the park offers a rare opportunity to find work.As unlikely as it seems for men and women doing daily funny performances of Swan Lake,they think that it feels good to live in
dormitories that look like caves while living with people with similar experiences.In addition,the life facilities in the park are made according to their special needs.Besides,performers in the park earn 2,000 yuan a
month,around twice the salary of a high school graduate.
      The founder of the park,Chen Ming,made his fortune by producing electronics and investing,but said
he had always wanted to help the disadvantaged groups in the community.People,like human right activists for the disabled,think that such a park only encourages the discrimination against little people.

閱讀理解
     I made a pledge(誓言) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks
I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
     The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical
(圣經(jīng)的)passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an
act of will. A person can choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.
Well, for two weeks that would change. And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door
and said, "That new yellow sweater(套頭衫) looks great on you."  "Oh, Tom, you noticed, "she said,
surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled.  After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn
suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with
the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me. "We walked on the beach while the children
flew their kites.  So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit
to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation
passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.  
     There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about
it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest
expression. "What's the matter?" I asked her. "Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress(悲痛), "do
you know something I don't?"  "What do you mean?"  "Well…that checkup(體檢) I had several weeks
ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me?Tom, you've been so good to me…am I dying?" 
It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.  "No, honey," I said, wrapping her in my arms. "You're not dying; I'm just starting to live."

1. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ________.

A. with his family  
B.  with Evelyn    
C. alone    
D. with his children

2. During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ____.

A. she looked lovely in her new clothes    
B.  he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm
C. he was determined to be a good husband        
D. she was seriously ill

3. The author says, "There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment. "What was the one
     thing that went wrong?

A. He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.
B. She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.
C. He knew something about her illness but didn't tell her.
D. He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.

4. By saying "I'm just starting to live," Tom means that ________.

A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life
B. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband
C. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change
D. he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before
