“You're leaving？”
“I__28__， ”Carl glanced at his watch.“I promised to put up luminarias(传统圣诞灯)at my church.”
“I'll get your order of tamales and bring them to your house.”
Carl's brow furrowed “I couldn't ask you to do that.”

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Dogs that can retrieve (取出) cash from ATMs and empty washing machines help disabled people lead more independent lives，
but can they also help change disruptive (爱捣乱的) teenagers' behaviour？
A unique TV experiment，
“Dog House”，
follows five unruly youngsters as they are taught to become dog trainers. The idea is simple. Kids really like dogs. But can the skills involved in training them—patience，
consistency，
rewarding good behaviour—give these teenagers the discipline they need in their own lives？
The teens involved were put forward by local schools in West Sussex，
who had run out of ideas of how to deal with them.
Liam was typical—14 years old，
badtempered，
aggressive，
foulmouthed and about to be permanently excluded from school. Allie，
Rob and Ellie，
had similar problems—they couldn't concentrate，
they didn't like being told what to do and they had serious anger problems. Katrina was different. She was so shy that she had developed agoraphobia (陌生环境恐惧症)，
and she suffered from depression and had taken herself out of mainstream education.
Gradually，
working with the dogs began to have an impact on the kids. But
in order to fully appreciate the significance of what they were doing，
they needed to meet the disabled people who benefited from having these dogs. The meetings had a profound impact on the teenagers. After meeting Eileen Hobson and her dog Sailor，
Liam changed his ways and his unlikely friendship with severely disabled wheelchair user Eileen blossomed.
Two months into the course Liam began to connect with the dogs too—particularly a young yellow Labrador called Aero. The relationship flourished so much that the dog often knew instinctively what the teenager wanted him to do before he'd even asked. “He just knows， ”said Liam.
Liam's school noticed a huge change in his whole outlook. His teacher Nick Brown said，
“More than anything I see a confident and happy young man. It's been superb.”
31.
The teens were selected to be dog trainers just because________.
A．they liked dogs very much
B．they came from the same local school
C．they ran out of ideas of how to behave in school
D．their teachers had some difficulty in dealing with them
32.
What was Katrina's problem？
A．She didn't like being told what to do.
B．She had serious anger problems.
C．She was badtempered and aggressive.
D．She had trouble in getting along with others because of her shyness.
33.
What made Liam greatly changed？
A．Training the dogs.
B．His meeting Eileen Hobson and her dog.
C．His teacher Nick Brown's praise.
D．A unique TV programme.
34.
The underlined word “blossomed” in the fifth paragraph probably has the same meaning as________.
A．developed
B．decorated
C．expanded
D．declined
Ⅳ.补全对话
根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。
—Peter， are you learning to drive at Robert's Driving School？—Yes.__35__
—Is it expensive？
—Well， it depends.__36__
—I see. And is the teacher's car new？
—Yes， but it's not a big car， and parking is easy.
—Good.__37__
—I failed it last week.
—Oh， what a pity.__38__
—The traffic lights were red but I didn't see them and I couldn't brake in time.
—__39__You can take the test again. Tell me about your teacher. Is he friendly？
—He's OK. He's quite young and kind， but my father will give me my next lessons.
A．No， it was free.
B．Did you hit something or…？
C．When are you going to take your driving test？
D．I've had ten lessons already and each one is fourteen pounds.
E．You couldn't be more relaxed.
F．Never mind.

Ⅱ.这是一篇记叙文。圣诞节前夕，Carl Fenter到处寻找玉米粉蒸肉，终于在一家店找到了。等待的时候，他在寒风中脱下自己的外套给一个同样在等待的母亲穿上，而这一善举使他得到了回报：这位女士后来专程给他家送去了他要买而没买到的玉米粉蒸肉。
11．B 从语境的连贯判断选B。Carl Fenter说：“家里是温暖的，可是在这里，早晨的寒风冷得很不正常。”
12．A 在这寒冷的日子，晚上在教堂做完圣诞前夕的礼拜后回家和家人一起享受玉米粉蒸肉的盛宴，这样的点子或想法应该用brilliant来描述。a brilliant idea绝妙的想法/主意。
13．A 句意为：谁能想到，城里的玉米粉蒸肉在圣诞节前夕都卖完了呢？可是这些玉米粉蒸肉的确被卖完了。从语境的连贯看，本题用were。
14．B 在几家店铺都没有买到玉米粉蒸肉，而他下定决心一定要买一份带回家，于是他开车跑遍了El Paso，并来到这最后一家卖玉米粉蒸肉的店铺。
15．D 语境提到“45分钟之后从锅上下来”，可见此处表示这家店铺的玉米粉蒸肉再过45分钟就能出锅了，用(be)due表示“预期发生”。
16．C 这里用take one's place表“就位，就座”。句意为：于是，他在人群后面开始排队等候购买(玉米粉蒸肉)。17．D remove“移开，脱下，去掉”。句意为：他注意到，在他前面的那位女士把自己的夹克脱下来，给自己冻得发抖的孩子披上。
18．C 没过多久，这位母亲自己也冻得瑟瑟发抖。这里用shake表示“发抖”，与前面的shivering呼应，而freeze表示“冻僵”，不符合语境叙述的排队买东西时的场景。
19．C 从语境和选项判断选C“犹豫，迟疑”。句意为：看见这番情景，Carl Fenter迟疑片刻，将自己的夹克脱下来，递给这位母亲。
20．A 面对这样的情景，这位母亲当然是充满感激，而不是“让人尊敬的”，“绝望的”，“羞愧的”。
21．A 当队伍开始向前移动(玉米粉蒸肉终于出锅了)，微笑的人们带着热腾腾的玉米粉蒸肉走出店铺，他们一起欢呼雀跃。
22．D 终于，前面的人群终于散尽，轮到他购买了。
23．D 他走进店铺，向柜台慢慢地挪过去。shoulder one's way“挤着(人群)前进”；force one's way“用力挤过去”；feel one's way“摸索着走”；inch one's way“小心地、慢慢地挪动”。显然这里选D表示“慢慢地往前挪动”，符合人们排队买东西时的场景。
24．B 他在寒风中排队等待了很长时间，轮到他买的时候，玉米粉蒸肉却卖完了，此时的他当然很沮丧，因此选B。No way用来表示惊讶或不相信，意为“不会吧！不可能！”
25．A 他后面还有人在排队，因此选A。他在抱怨的时候，身后其他排队等候的人也跟着一起抱怨。line up“排队等待”，符合语境。wait up一般指“熬夜等待”。
26．B 此处表示转折含义，虽然这一炉玉米粉蒸肉卖完了，可是你要是再等两个小时，还有最后一炉。
27．C 一般将来时态中表示“在多长时间之后”用介词in。
28．C 从下文可知，他还要回教堂悬挂传统的圣诞灯，因此用have to表示“不得不，必须”。
29．A 这位女士对他先前的帮助心存感激，因此选A，“至少我能为你做这点事(报答你)。”
30．B 从故事情节的发展看，本题选B表示“恰好地，确切地，准确地”。句意为：正好在圣诞前夕的中午，那位女士把玉米粉蒸肉送到他家来了。A、D项语序不对，C项“准确地，精密地”。
.自古以来，狗就是人类最忠实的朋友。它们可以帮助我们做包括从自动取款机上取钱在内的很多事情。不仅如此，现在已有人用它们来帮助那些性格有缺陷的孩子(比如爱捣乱等等)。
31.
D 推理判断题。由第二段第一句话中的“unruly(任性的，不守规矩的)”以及第一段的“disruptive(爱捣乱的)”这些对孩子进行描述的单词，再结合第四段的叙述可以看出，他们被选为驯狗员的原因是老师在常规教育他们的过程中有很大的困难。
32.
D 细节理解题。由第四段后半部分对Katrina的介绍可以看出，她的问题在于：由于过于腼腆，而患上了陌生环境恐惧症。由此可以推出，她和其他人无法交往(had trouble in getting along with others)。
33.
B 细节理解题。由倒数第三段的最后一句话可以看出：Liam的巨大变化是因为“meeting Eileen Hobson and her dog Sailor”。34.
A 词义猜测题。根据句意可知，该词和develop同义，意思是“逐渐产生，发展”。. 35－39 GDCBF
