22、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(电池)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 sh

23、owroom. Just how friendly is Friendly Ford? I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.

26、an dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are intr

27、oduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported co

28、ldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signa

29、ls submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk Dog, and dogs can learn how to talk Cat.Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appe

30、ared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sle

31、eping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets - to people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers.

32、n learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.54. The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.A. early B. sweetly C. quickly D. smoothly55.

34、dogs?A. We should learn to live in harmony. B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals. D. We should learn more body languages.CA year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, th

35、ough several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute,” someone might say, “Are you talkin

36、g about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. Im Mr. Davis.” Sometimes

37、 I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the s

38、hape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,” I said. “Okey, here we go.” Then I opened my

39、 briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student

40、would yell. “Calm down, youll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.58.

44、limited land, water and other natural resources, the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must

45、 be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries. According to a r

46、ecent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar en

47、ergy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油), which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sus

48、tainable products have grown by more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help

49、to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs

50、of a growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.62.

52、p the low-carbon markets, government can _.A. cut public expenses B. forbid carbon emissions C. develop public resources D. encourage energy preservation65.

53、make full use of natural resources D. deal with the major challenge第二卷听力理解第三节（每小题仅填写一个词II. 阅读理解第二节 Parents and doctors have the same worry over especially low birth weight newborns. _66_ A trend has therefore developed to make special formulas（配方）of extra nutrients and protein-rich foods for these t

54、iny babies. Unfortunately, a British study has found that this practice could have negative long-term effects, such as high blood pressure in adulthood. Between 1993 and 1995, Atul Singhal of the Institute of Child Health and his colleagues researched 299 full-term newborns, each of whom weighed ver

55、y little for their age. The babies moms had decided not to breastfeed（用母乳喂养）. _67_ The rest received a formula with more nutrients than the standard formula. The growth of all of these children was compared to that of 175 similarly low birth weight babies whose mothers had chosen to breastfeed their

56、 children for their 9 months. _68_ They found 83 babies from normal-formula group, 70 babies from extra-formula group, and 95 babies from the breastfed group. _69_ According to the latest data, children who received the extra formula had significantly higher blood pressure than those in the other two groups. Seven human tests have indeed shown that when infan
