B.Reach. C.Build up. D.Break down.26.The writers purpose in introducing the Sequoia is to .A.tell a life truth B.encourage struggling peopleC.show the meaning of happiness D.warn people about the danger of becoming strong27.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Life Is Rooted in A Strong Belief. B.Our Biggest Enemy Is Ourselves.C.The Meaning of Life. D.Build Firm Life Foundation.CMany people rush into the commitment of bringing home a four-legged family member,only to find out that they are not ready for a pet.This often results in the dog being turned over to a shelter where it may not find another home.This can be avoided if potential pet owners take the time to figure out if they are truly ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership.Being a responsible pet owner involves a financial commitment that goes beyond buying dog food.There are also parasite（寄生虫）prevention,boarding costs while traveling and the cost to care for the pet should it become ill or injured.That is not to say that one must be rich in order to have a dog,but it is important to be prepared for the expenses that come with being a pet owner.Another consideration is the time commitment.An owner away from home for 14 hours every day is not an ideal situation for a dog.A potential dog owner must also consider the time it takes to care for his or her pet,the time it takes to feed,walk,play with,bathe and clean up.Also,dogs require attention.Be prepared to spend time each day petting and playing with it.Dogs are dogs,and will act like dogs.This includes barking,digging,having accidents in the house and,possibly, destroying some of the owners prized possessions,such as furniture,shoes and cell phones.If the above would cause an owner to want to get rid of the dog,then he or she is not yet ready to be a pet owner.Many wonderful pets end up in shelters simply because they acted like dogs!28.Who might be qualified to be a dog owner according to the text?A.Kari,a teacher who works eight hours a day.B.Jim,who has a daughter sensitive to dogs smell.C.Dick,a jobless teenager who can hardly pay his rent.D.Steven,a business man who travels a lot on business.29.To be a responsible dog owner you need to do all the following EXCEPT .A.buying dog food and feeding it B.taking it to hospital when necessaryC.spending time each day playing with it D.finding a shelter for it when you are bored with it30.What does the underlined part in the first paragraph probably mean?A.Rush to adopt a dog formally.B.Commit to buy a dog and take it home.C.Run into a pet shelter and take one home so quickly.D.Decide to be a pet owner without thinking about it carefully.31.What might be the best title for the text?A.Dogs Are Dogs B.Ready for a Pet?C.Have Time for a Dog? D.Pets Are Family MembersDI had a great time this past summer visiting Stone Mountain Park with my twin grandsons.I had the opportunity to spend the day with them seeing the various sights and attractions.One thing that my grandsons had really wanted to do that particular day was to climb to the top of the mountain.Stone Mountain isnt a particularly tall mountain and fortunately has walking trails to the top,but for two 5-year-olds,along with grandpa,its a formidable task.Since my grandsons enthusiasm was much greater than mine,I decided to start the slow walk up the mountain. The beginning part of the trail was slow and gradual.It seemed like we were taking forever to climb just a short distance,but I had to remind myself that it took 3 of their steps to equal 1 of mine,so I found myself walking ahead of them,then having to stop and let them catch up,over and over again.I was tired and sweaty,just wanting to get to the top of the mountain so I could rest well before starting my way back.I learned early on during our walk that this wasnt going to be the case.We had to stop and look at every large rock with someones name carved in it.We looked at unusual plant formations.We examined large trees and we explored small rock overhangs that reminded the kids of caves.My grandsons viewed the walk as an exciting adventure.Climbing the mountain was a trial to me but my grandsons were not focused at all on the trial of climbing the mountain;they were simply enjoying the journey of the walk.I know when I face a trial in life,I tend to always think of the problem.I want the trial to be over quickly and let life get back to normal.What can I learn during the course of the trial? At some point,the trial will be over and well be joyous for sure.However,the real joy should not be that the trials over,but I am celebrating what I learned during the journey.32.What does the underlined word formidable in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Relaxing. B.Meaningful. C.Strange. D.Difficult.33.What can we know from Paragraph 2?A.The writer kept challenging his grandsons to catch up with him.B.Old as the writer was,he walked much faster than his grandsons.C.The writer and his grandsons walked up the mountain very fast at the beginning.D.The writer was more eager to climb to the top of the mountain than his grandsons.34.Why did the writer only want to reach the mountain top?A.To have a good rest. B.To get a better view.C.To enjoy unusual plants. D.To see large rocks carved with names.35.What can be the best title of the text?A.A tiring day spent with grandsons. B.Joy coming from mountain-climbing.C.A life lesson learnt from grandsons. D.Learning to enjoy the journey.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。_36_What we consider polite at home isnt always accepted outside our borders.Dont be regarded rude or disrespectful on your travels.Gift giving should be a happy,positive experience._37_Giving sharp,pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky.Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or a business partner in Russia.Yellow blooms suggest cheat or a relationship breakup._38_Writing cards or notes while visiting South Korea,be mindful of your pens ink color.
