　　Driving home from work one evening in the heavy rain, I found a very wet, injured cat on the side of the road. He looked up at me, meowing pitifully. A car must have hit it so it wasn’t able to move. I stopped my car and carried the cat in and went on driving.

　　At the nearest vet clinic, the vet gently examined it. "He's about eight months old and has two broken legs, but I would need X-rays to know how serious the damage is," he told me. "As he's not your cat, I don't know if you want to go ahead with this. It could be rather expensive."

　　I knew it would cost me hundreds of dollars, but I agreed with his advice. The following morning the vet rang to say the X-rays confirmed two bad breaks in his legs. "I'll operate on his legs and put metal pins in them to keep them fixed." he told me.

　　That afternoon I went to pick up my little friend. There I could hardly recognize him. His previously dirty fur was now a beautiful silver grey. His front legs were in two casts and he lay there looking at me, purring(发咕噜声) happily.

　　I thanked the doctor and went out to pay the bill. "I think you've given me the wrong account," I said to the clerk. "This is only $85. He's had X-rays and an operation on his legs." "No, that's right," she replied. "The vet has only charged you for the medication. There's a message on the bottom."

　　Written under the total were the words "SPECIAL RATE FOR ADOPTIONS." I was speechless at his kind and generous gesture. I paid the account and under his message I wrote "WITH GRATEFUL THANKS, CAT AND MUM."

　　40. Why didn’t the vet give the cat X-rays immediately?

　　A. The damage was not serious at all.

　　B. The cat was too young to be X-rayed.

　　C. The doctor wasn’t sure whether the author would like to cover the expenses.

　　D. The examination was too expensive for the author to afford.

　　B. He was saved on a dark and stormy night.

　　C. He was a lively creature with beautiful brown fur.

　　D. His back legs were broken and had to have an operation.

　　Laws to stop tigers, camels, zebras and snakes being used as performing animals in circuses have been announced by the government.

　　The environment minister, Jim Paice, hoped the laws would be brought in before the end of the parliament in 2015, which is the main law-making institution of the UK. At present between 35 and 50 wild animals are thought to be used by circuses in England and Defra offered to help find new homes for the retired performers.

　　The announcement follows a campaign by animal charity organization for the ban (禁令), which became worse when a video appeared last year of a circus elephant being beaten by a worker. Campaigners were angry when Paice previously announced tougher licensing instead.

　　Circus Mondao, whose website shows zebra and camels, said it would probably challenge the suggested ban. The circus is a member of the European Circus Association, which previously challenged Austria's ban, saying there was no scientific evidence (证据) that the animals were harmed by the travelling or conditions. On its website, Mondao says that when it travels animals are the last to be loaded and the first to be unloaded; they are moved to tents within an hour of arriving, and are usually moved 20-50 miles.

　　Animal charities welcomed the move, but called for ministers to speed up the laws. Asked why circuses would be banned from keeping wild animals but not domestic animals such as horses, a Defra spokesman said a key difference was that domesticated animals were more used to conditions such as travelling. "Wild animals aren't domesticated: we feel it's not right ethically (伦理上) for wild animals to perform," he said.

　　44.What is the proper order of the following events ?

　　a. Tougher licensing was announced by the environment minister.

　　b. A campaign for a ban was launched by an animal charity.

　　c. Laws were announced by the government.

　　d. The suggested ban was challenged by Circus Mondao.

　　A. b, d, c, a

　　 B. c, b, a, d

　　C. b, a, c, d  

　　D. c, a, d, b

　　45. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?

　　A. Retired performers are taken good care of in their new homes.

　　B. The environment minister expected to introduce the law during the present parliament.

　　C. Austria’s ban has been seriously challenged by all the European circuses.

　　D. Animal charities were not satisfied with the suggested laws at all.

　　46. “Domestic animals ” are probably

　　.

　　A. animals that provide meat for people

　　B. animals that are introduced from other countries

　　C. animals that are well trained by a circus

　　D. animals that live on farm or in people’s home

　　D

　　In 1953, the New Zealander Edmund Hillary, then 33, joined a British Qomolangma expedition led by Colonel John Hunt. Tom Bourdillon and Charles Evans were the first team to attempt the summit (顶峰). Despite a violent storm, they reached the South Summit — at 28,700 feet (8,748 meters) — by 1 p.m. on May 26. But both men knew they would run out of oxygen if they went on. They agreed to turn back.

　　Two days later, Hillary and Norgay, set out from Camp IX at 25,900 feet to make the next attempt. At 27,900 feet they made a temporary camp on a six foot wide rock to spend the night. At 6:30 the next morning, cheered by clearing skies, the team moved out. Roped together, cutting steps with their ice axes, they inched up a steep, knife-edged ridge (山脊) southeast of the summit. They reached the South Summit by 9:00 a.m.

　　Farther up, they met a 40-foot icy rock face, which was later named the Hillary Step. “…looking up at the rock step at 29,000 feet, it really did look extremely difficult to overcome,” said Hillary. But they found a narrow crack on the surface of the rock, just large enough to move inside on hands and knees, and managed to climb it by supporting feet against one side and backs against the other. Hillary said, “That was really the first moment during the whole of the expedition that I was confident that we were going to get to the top.”

　　The last few yards to the summit were relatively easy. “Then I realized that the ridge, instead of rising ahead, now dropped sharply away,” Hillary said. “I looked upward to see a narrow ridge running up to a sharp point. …and we stood on the summit.” It was 11:30 a.m. on May 29, 1953.

　　47. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. The climbing history of Qomolangma.

　　B. The life and achievements of Edmund Hillary.

　　C. How Hillary and Norgay conquered Qomolangma.

　　D. How the Hillary Step got its name.

　　48. At what height did Hillary and Norgay set out on May 29?

　　A. 25,900 feet.

　　B. 27,900 feet.

　　C. 28,700 feet.
