38．解析：suddenly意為“突然”，指某事突然發(fā)生，表示雷電來(lái)得非常突然。strongly意為“堅(jiān)強(qiáng)地，有力地，大大地，猛烈地”。quickly意為“快速地”，表示動(dòng)作迅速。hardly意為“幾乎不”，構(gòu)成否定句。
39．解析：blind意為“把……的眼睛弄花”，根據(jù)下文所提供的情景rubbed his eyes可判斷出，由于雷電發(fā)出強(qiáng)烈的光芒，使Raul看不見眼前的東西。beat意為“打，拍，敲”。burn意為“燃燒”。touch意為“觸摸”。
40．解析：bury one’s head in one’s hands意為“用手捂住頭”，因?yàn)槔坐Q電閃，使Raul感到害怕，所以他用手捂住了頭。nose意為“鼻子”。hair意為“頭發(fā)”。neck意為“脖子”。根據(jù)常識(shí)可判斷出當(dāng)雷鳴電閃時(shí)，人們通常會(huì)用手捂住頭，而不會(huì)捂住鼻子、頭發(fā)或脖子。

45．解析：around意為“在……的周圍”，根據(jù)下文所提供的情景not a drop fell on them可判斷出在他們的周圍大雨澆灌下來(lái)。beside意為“在旁邊”，through意為“穿過(guò)”，above意為“在……的上面”。下雨時(shí)，人們?cè)谟曛校粫?huì)出現(xiàn)雨在人的旁邊、上邊或穿過(guò)人的身體的情況。
46．解析：yet意為“然而”，表示雖然下著大雨，但雨點(diǎn)并沒(méi)有落到他們的身上。for作連詞時(shí)，意為“因?yàn)椤�，用于附帶說(shuō)明理由。so意為“因此”。or意為“否則，或者”。

51．解析：meet意為“迎接，出迎”，表示Raul的父親跑出來(lái)迎接他。see意為“看見；看到”。beat意為“打，拍，敲”。ask意為“問(wèn)”。
52．解析：worry意為“擔(dān)心”，與介詞about連用，表示擔(dān)心某人。根據(jù)下文中的Raul的父親的問(wèn)話Are you okay?可判斷出由于突降暴雨，父親對(duì)他非常擔(dān)心。wait意為“等待”，常與for連用，表示等待某人或某物。think about意為“考慮”。excite意為“使激動(dòng)”。

One day an ordinary dog appeared in the ticket office at Campiglia, a busy railroad station on Italy's main line. A ticket agent named Elvio greeted the strange dog in a friendly way, so the dog decided to stay. From that day on, the dog became Elvio's shadow and was named Lampo.
Lampo kept Elvio Company (陪伴) inside the ticket office. When the weather was warm, he would enjoy himself in the sun on the train platform. When it came time for Elvio to return home on the train at night, Lampo ran after the train for a long way and then sadly gave up and went back to the station.
One night as Elvio was riding home on the train, he noticed that Lampo was lying at his feet. Afraid that the conductor would see the dog on the train and shout at him, Elvio pushed Lampo under a seat. Luckily, the conductor did not notice the dog. Lampo came home with Elvio and met his family. Then, after a short visit, Lampo boarded the last train and went back to the station. Lampo quickly learned all of the train schedules (時(shí)刻表). He would ride home from work with Elvio every night and then ride back to the station alone. Every morning, Lampo arrived at Elvio's house in time to walk his young daughter, Mivna, to school. The faithful dog would then take another train to travel again to accompany Mivna home from school at 11:30.
Soon, Lampo began to take the train all over Italy. Lampo became famous among the men who worked on the railroad, as his journeys became more frequent, complicated and mysterious. No one could explain why he traveled or how he always found the right train back to Campiglia. People decided that Lampo was a unique dog.
Some of the railroad officials were against Lampo's illegal travels. They were afraid he would bite a passenger or cause some other problems. Finally, the stationmaster threatened to call the dogcatcher if Elvio didn't get rid of the dog.
Elvio decided to put Lampo on a train going as far away as possible. Months went by and Lampo did not come back. Mivna missed him very much and prayed for his return. Finally one day, a sad, very thin, tired Lampo returned to Elvio's office. Everyone, even the stationmaster, was sorry about what had happened. From then on, Lampo was allowed to ride the trains whenever he wanted. After seven years, Lampo grew old, and he began to need Elvio's help to board the train.
One day Lampo was seen lying dead on the tracks. A year later, a life sized statue of Lampo was set up at Campiglia station.
66. The first time Lampo took the train, Elvio was ______.
A. delighted that he was lucky                                
B. afraid the dog would bite someone
C. afraid the conductor would see him and be angry
D. excited that Lampo would soon meet his family
67. Lampo's traveling all over Italy caused people to believe that _______.
A. he could read the train schedules                           B. he was famous in the country
C. Elvio secretly helped him                                  D. he was a very special dog
68. The stationmaster threatened that if Elvio didn't get rid of the dog, _______.
A. Elvio would be fired                                          B. Lampo would be put on the train tracks
C. the stationmaster would send him away         D. a dogcatcher would be called
69. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the story?
A. The dog was once sent away by Elvio.
B. The dog finally won the stationmaster's heart.
C. The dog was faithful to his master.
D. The dog died when he was seven years old.
70. The author suggests that a statue of Lampo was set up because _______.   
A. the stationmaster felt sorry about what had happened
B. he had been a friend to travelers
C. it would bring good luck to the town
D. Elvio offered money to set up the statue

[1]World Consumer Rights Day is celebrated annually by consumer organizations worldwide. It commemorates the historic declaration on March 15, 1962 by John F. Kennedy, the former U.S. President, of the basic Rights of consumers, which include: "the right to safety", "the right to be informed", "the right to choose", and "the right to be heard".  
[2]This declaration has led to international recognition by governments and the United Nations that all citizens, regardless of their incomes or social standing, have certain basic Rights as consumers. Officially, World Consumer Rights Day was first observed on March 15，1983 and has since become an important occasion for mobilizing citizen action, with recognition of consumer rights taking off around the world. On April 9，1985, the United Nations Assembly General Assembly adopted the UN Guidelines for Consumer Protection that provide a framework for strengthening national consumer protection policies around the world.  
[3]The guidelines included Kennedy's four basic consumer rights plus another four: the right to satisfaction of basic needs; the right to redress(賠償); the right to education; and the right to a healthy environment. Currently, the fundamental consumer rights are recognized globally.
[4]World Consumer Rights Day normally has a theme associated with an activity or development that is relevant to consumers. Whatever their objectives, they share the same underlying aim of bringing about important and needed benefits for consumers.  
[5]In recent years, progress has been made for recognition and protection of consumer rights in developing countries. At least, March 15 is a day when consumers are filled with pride and satisfaction. However, there are many reports on violation of consumer rights by unethical marketing practices.
