They can actually be quite lazy! Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distance running. They do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the bed or a comfortable seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive because they are big in size. In fact, greyhounds love people and are gentle with children. Greyhounds can live for 12 14 years but usually only race for two or three years, and after that they make great pets. They dont need a lot of space, dont make a lot of noise, and dont eat a lot for their size. Normally, greyhounds can be as tall as 90 cm. There is, however, a small-sized greyhound, which stands only 33cm. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors. Grey and yellowish-brown are the most common. Others include black, white, blue, red and brown or a mix of these. Greyhounds have smooth body coats, low body fat and are very healthy. Because theyre slim, they dont have the leg problems like other dogs the same height. But they do feel the cold, especially since they would much rather be at home in bed than walking around outside.21. The text is written mainly_. A. to tell people how to raise greyhounds B. to let people know more about greyhounds C. to explain why greyhounds are aggressive D. to describe greyhounds of different colors22. It can be inferred that greyhounds_. A. love big doghouses B. like staying in bed all day C. make the best guard dogs D. need some exercise outdoors23. Why does the author say that greyhounds make great pets? A. They are big in size. B. They live a very long life. C. They can run races for some time. D. They are quiet and easy to look after.24. If you keep a pet greyhound, it is important_. A. to keep it slim B. to keep it warm C. to take special care of its legs D. to take it to animal doctors regularly B Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas. I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friends. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card. I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful. Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon, I returned to my car and found that Id left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom. Just how friendly is Friendly Ford? I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said. Thank you - two powerful words. Theyre easy to say and mean so much.25. The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City_. A. to visit a friend B. to see his parents C. to pay at the cash register D. to have more gas for his car26.

The Chinese billionaire reportedly held a meeting with Trump in New York on Monday to discuss how the Chinese e-commerce giant could create jobs by allowing US businesses to sell products in the Chinese market. This was the first meeting of the US president with a highly noticeable businessman from China, following a series of tough speeches and actions, including threats to impose a 45 percent tax on Chinese goods and selection of China critics for trade positions. Though details of the meeting as to what was specifically discussed remain sketchy, it is a positive signal for China-US trade relations under Trump, following the recent turbulence(动荡), according to Bai Ming, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation. “This is sign that Trump is leaving the door open for pragmatic cooperation with Chinese firms, which he thinks could help the US economy and create jobs.” Bai told the Global Times. It is important that ALibaba strikes a balance between expanding overseas and strengthening its base in China, Mei noted. Bai said the meeting also offers a pattern that other Chinese companies can follow in expanding to the US under Trump. “They have to stress how many jobs you can create in the US in talking with Trump,” he said.29. Under President Trump, China-US relations may be _. A. more harmonious B. a little troublesome C. completely unchanged D. extremely hopeless30. According to the passage, we know _. A. Jack Ma devoted himself to bettering China-US relations B. the meeting set up a bridge for China-US trade C. Jack Ma aimed to create more employment through cooperation D. the specific details discussed at the meeting were clear31. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? A. A Trade Talk Between China and US B. Tomorrow of China-US Trade C. The First Meeting of Trump with China D. Trump, Jack Ma Talking about Job Creation DOceanography has been defined as The application of all sciences to the study of the sea. Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was unwilling to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question What is at the bottom of the oceans? had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable(电缆)from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile(起伏形状)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be made.It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings(测深)were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book -The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition, which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.32. The passage implies that the telegraph cable was built mainly_. A. for oceanographic studies B .for military purposes C. for investigating the depths of the oceans D .for business considerations 33. The aim of voyages Maury encouraged in the 1840s was_. A. to make some sound experiments in the oceans B. to collect samples of sea plants and animals C. to measure the depths of the two oceans D. to estimate the length of cable that was to be made34. The underlined word defied in the 4th paragraph probably means_ A. doubted B .challenged C .gave proof to D .agreed to35. The theme of this passage is about _. A .the beginnings of oceanography B.the laying of the first undersea cable C .the investigation of ocean depths D .the early intercontinental communications 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 When in a foreign country it is often recommended to learn something about the country and its people in case youre doing something rude without realizing it. 36 .
