Dogs wag(摇摆) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found.
Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behavior of 30 dogs, catching their reaction to a range of stimuli(刺激物) with video cameras. To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years. The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at Bari University. The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow for them to view various stimuli. They were texted one at a time.
The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners --- a positive experience --- their tails wagged energetically to the right side. When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. The appears of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less excitement again. The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed to direction of tail wagging to the left. Researchers supposed the dog was thinking of moving back. When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company. While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood(心情) of dogs. Computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.
36. The video cameras were used to catch the dogs reactions because ____.
A. it was easier to catch the dogs’ reaction changes in the tail wagging
B. the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time.
C. they enabled the dogs’ owners to know about their dogs’ habit
D. the dogs wagged their tails in different directions when they were in different moods
37. The underlined word “they” refers to ____.
A. the dogs
B. the trainers
C. the systems
D. the researchers
38. The purpose of doing the experiment is ____.
A. to train dogs for their owners
B. to help people judge the mood of dogs
C. to help dogs find company
D. to help people choose their pet dogs

An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile items, like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
There is a strong chance of short circuits (短路) and fire breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.
If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in debris （瓦砾堆）, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.
39. The purpose of the passage is to tell readers ____.
A. the damage caused by earthquakes B. the rescue work after earthquakes
C. what to do about earthquakes D. how to prevent earthquakes
40. The underlined word “Fragile” in Paragraph 2 probably mean ____.
A. easily broken
B. easily found C. expensive D. heavy
41. To reduce the injury from the earthquake, items made of glass should be put ____.
A. on cupboards
B. in the bedroom
C. on a lower surface D. where children can’t reach them
42. During the earthquake, people are advised to ____.
A. go out the building at once B. turn off power and gas immediately
C. take shelter under a tree D. drive to a safe place
43. What should people NOT do when they are trapped in debris?
A. Cover their mouth with a handkerchief.
B. Tap on a people or wall for help.
C. Use a whistle for help.
D. Light a fire for help.
C

I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly.
This year, a very sweet old lady that I cared for, Alice, had gone through a difficult time. She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice. In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”.
Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad. Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy, I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!
On Christmas Eve, I gave her surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.
Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.
The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.
The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice’s face.
47. The underlined word “dementia” in Paragraph 2 probably is ____.
A. an illness B. a letter C. a house D. a plan
48. Where did Alice spend her Christmas Eve according to the story?
A. In her old house.
B. In her old neighborhood church.
C. In the nursing home.
D. In the hospital.

C. Thanks from Alice’s daughter. D. The candlelight service.
5. What is the best title for this passage?
A.A special candlelight Christmas Eve B. The dream of an old lonely lady
C.A real present
D. The true love

Hiking is an outdoor activity which consists of walking in natural environments, often in mountainous or other scenic terrain(地形). People often hike on hiking trails. It is such a popular activity that there are numerous hiking organizations worldwide. It is considered one of the recreational activities.
Many people say they go hiking because they love to walk outdoor, without necessarily having a destination ahead of them. This makes hiking much more different than walking down the street to the store or to some other places that we need to go. People who like hiking say, “We enjoy ourselves along the way whether we arrive somewhere important or not.”
Some people add another reason for hiking to the basic one of loving to be outdoors. These folks see hiking as not only mentally healthy for clearing the mind but also physically healthy as great exercise for the body. Unlike some other more exercise programs, hiking can be an activity for almost anyone in reasonably good health. Hiking on a smooth, level path is even good exercise. Trudging(跋涉) over rougher terrain can be a workout and a time of enjoyment at the same time.
Some people who hike on a regular basis give little thought to the exercise part of the activity. These people are more likely to go hiking because they are exploring nature. They may be interested in the trees or the rocks, Perhaps they are interested in looking at the birds or the various animals that lodge in the forest or the park. Certainly park land is ideal for hiking. Many of these sites have marked for hiking. This leads many to take part in hiking specifically for the exercise and enjoyment of being outdoors, when they may not do this otherwise.
Some people look at hiking as having two major benefits. When asked why they go hiking in their spare time many people will combine these reasons: It helps me relax; it doesn’t take a great investment of money for equipment. For them, a good pair of shoes and some comfortable clothes can help them get away from work or other stressful situations that may arise in life. In many cases, these hikers can enjoy their favorite pastime all year long. They may be able to take those outdoor walks in almost any weather. It’s safe to say that hiking can heal and please the human being in many ways.
51. Which of the following sayings can describe the people who like hiking in Paragraph 2?
A. Where there is a will there is a way.
B. You will never reach your destination if you stop.
C. A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.
D. Life is a journey, not a destination.
52. The underlined phrase “lodge in ”
in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “______”.
A. go through
B. look for
C. live in
D. run after
53. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. It will cost you a lot of money, when you go hiking.
B. Hiking is suitable for workers who work a long time every day.
C. Hiking is a sport that you can enjoy yourself most in spring.
D. Hiking cannot be affected by weather.
54. What is the text mainly about?
A. The popularity of hiking in the world today.
B. The reasons why people go hiking.

Dear Wang Qiang,I’m sorry to learn that your parents are always quarrelling with each other at present. I can fully understand your present feelings, for I had such experiences two years ago. Now let me give you several suggestions.
First, you can have a heart-to-heart talk with one parent at a time after they calm down. Second, you should tell them that you love them very much. Third, it would be a good idea if you promise them that you will study hard and that you won’t let them down. Last but not least, why not try to show them their old photos? On seeing these photos they will think of all the happy days they spent together. Maybe they will forgive each other.
These are only my personal suggestions. I hope you will find these them helpful.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
