A white shark shipped from New York and placed into an outdoor pool for a Kmart commercial in Los Angeles died after showing signs of distress, an official from the animal welfare group that monitored the production said on Thursday.
The American Humane Association (AHA), which certifies film and TV productions with animals, says everything possible was done to ensure the 1.5 meter shark's safety.
The shark's death follows lots of criticism of the use of animals in Hollywood productions. The animal rights group, people for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which said it received details on the shark's death from two whistleblowers(揭發(fā)者), criticized the AHA in a letter over the shark's death. "Sharks are sensitive animals who, in captivity(囚禁), require a highly specialized and controlled environment," the PETA letter read. "Given the delicate nature of this species, why would the AHA approve the transport and use of this animal?"
The shark was placed into a 227- liter outdoor tank in the Van Nuys suburb of Los Angeles, said Karen Rosa, a senior adviser of the AHA. She added that was a good amount of water for it. "We honestly don't know why the animal died. It was not being mistreated. It was not being harmed," Rosa said.
Early in the day, the shark seemed to be
Oxygen was pumped into the tank and the shark was given a shot to try to stabilize it before it was transferred to an aquatic compound for care, where it died the same day, Rosa said.
The shoot was for a Kmart commercial, but a representative for the retailer could not disclose any details."We take this matter seriously and safety is always our first concern," the spokesman for Kmart said in a statement.
21. The shark was shipped to Los Angeles for________.
A. a study by the AHA B. a business activity
C. a film about animals D. a project by an animal welfare group
22. From the passage, we can learn that PETA ________.
A. monitor films and TV productions that have animals
B. sent a representative to the scene of the shoot
C. believed the shark received specialized care
D. didn’t think the shark was transferred very well
23. What does Karen Rosa think of AHA?
A. It had done all that it needed to do.
B. It was against the rights of the animals.
C. It had found out the reason why the shark died.
D. It should be responsible for the shoot.
24. What is the best title for the passage?

It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work．Her bus had inched along through the heavy traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job．She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day．
Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor．When she finally reached the office marked “Smith Enterprise”, she knocked at the door nervously and waited．There was no reply．She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer．From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in．
Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now．In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all．The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking．In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in．For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her．
Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others．Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work．No one paid any attention to Marie．Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office．Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment．Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived．Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working．

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict.” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “ and I need to feel comfortable.”
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday（but only on Friday）.This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative（保守的）dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士氣）. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
29. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because .
A. they make him feel at ease when working B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C. he looks handsome in casual clothes D. he no longer works for any company
30. According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Company workers started to dress down about fifty years ago.
B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 90s.
C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.
D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.
31. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT .
A. saving employees’ money B. making employees more attractive
C. improving employees’ motivation D. making employees happier
D
Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver, according to a report from Oxford University.
The effect of the celebrity role models, who have given cooking a more manly picture, has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.
According to the research by Prof. Jonatahn Gershuny, who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford, men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking, up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.
Prof. Gershuny said, “The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend. There has been 40 years of sexual equality, but there is another 40 years probably to come.”
Women, who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutes—a great fall, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.
Some experts have named these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”, who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay, Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.
“I was married in 1974. When my father came to visit me a few weeks later, I was wearing an apron when I opened the door. He laughed,” said Prof. Gershuny. “That would never happen now.”
Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week, even if it is
not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table. Prof. Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table—with many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room, and shared by family members. “The family meal has changed a lot, and few of us eat—as I did when I was a child—at least two meals a day together as a family. But it has survived in a different format.”
32. What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?
A. The improvement of cooks’ status.
B. The influence of popular female chefs.
C. The change of female’s view on cooking.
D. The development of sexual equality campaign.
33. What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?
A. Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.
B. Women spend much less time on cooking than before.
C. It will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.
D. There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.
34. How did Prof. Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?
A. It has become a thing of the past.
B. It is very different from what it used to be.
C. It shouldn’t be advocated in modern times.
D. It is beneficial to the stability of the family.
35. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. The Changes of Family Meals B. Equality between Men and Women
C. Cooking into a New Trend for Men D. Cooking—a Thing of the Past for Women

Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. 36 However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression,to lead a dog's life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.
Some people say we live ina dog-eat-dog world. 37 They say that to be successful, a person has towork like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make peopledog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they becamesick as a dog.
38 This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can neverteach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.
39 People who are unkind or uncaring can be described asmeaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We sayhis bark is worse than his bite.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather.The dog daysof summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. 40
A. Still, people sayevery dog has its day.

In winter, I often walk in a nearby park during lunch time. The park is quiet, as 41 people have the time to enjoy the winter sun on a weekday. The two people that are often seen are a middle-aged father and his little daughter 42 her school uniform. The father looks like he has all the time in the world—he 43 to hurry along the jogging path; instead he matches his pace with 44 of the little girl. Sometimes they are lying 45 in the sun, laughing and chatting.
The man certainly doesn’t look 46 . What sort of job can he have that gives him the flexibility to walk in the park in the middle of the day?
And today, we 47 sat on the rocks and had a little chat. “You 48 enjoy the park very much to come here so often,” I said. The father nodded. “How” I asked curiously, “do you 49 to leave your office to be with your daughter every day?”
The story that the father, Satyendra Dugbey, told me showed me how, if we 50 under the surface, even ordinary people’s life can be quite 51 .
“Iused to be no different from any of those thousands of office workers 52 to work every day,” he began. His wife and he were well 53 but rarely managed time off for leisure.
Everything changed after an accident 54 Dugbey was hit by a car. As he lay in hospital, terrifying thoughts 55 his mind. “How would my daughter, then only four, remember me if I died that day ?” “Would my daughter have 56 of being with her father?”
The moment he recovered and went back to work, Dugbey took time off at lunch, 57 her daughter from school which was just next door to his working place, and took her to the park.
It was actually a very small change he’d made, he said, but it amazed him every day to see the difference it 58 to his life. “It brings me so much 59 that I can’t believe why others haven’t thought of doing the same thing.” he said simply.
I got up to continue my 60 walk, unexpectedly happy after his story.

Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or blown for boys?
The answer depends largely 61 cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color 62 represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. During the Spring Festival in China, children 63 (give) money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year.

Last weekend we go mountain-climbing. Even the heavy rain in the morning could not prevent us go. Set off very early, we went along an extreme narrow road, all in high spirits. On every side of the road was green fields and some farm house. We could hear the sound of the rain and our footsteps mixing with our laughter. At noon we reached top of the mountain. That surprised us most was the beauty of the scenery there. After having short rest and sharing with the food we had brought, we started going down. It rained even harder. We were wet, and we still sang and laughed happily.

語法填空【答案】

【解析】
61．考查固定短語。depend on/upon"依靠,取決于",為固定短語。
62．考查定語從句。分析句子成分可知," represented the hope and joy of spring"是定語從句,修飾a color,從句中缺少主語,故用that或which引導(dǎo)。
63．考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)及主謂一致。主語children和give之間存在邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系,且在講述一般情況,另外主語為復(fù)數(shù),故填are given。
64．考查代詞。希臘人經(jīng)常戴藍(lán)色項鏈希望能保護(hù)自己免受災(zāi)禍。根據(jù)句意可知,此處應(yīng)用反身代詞themselves,表示"他們自己"。

67．考查連詞。both...and..."既……又……,兩者都",是固定結(jié)構(gòu)。
68．考查非謂語動詞/定語從句。此處表示"在綠色環(huán)境中工作的人們",people和work之間是主謂關(guān)系,故用現(xiàn)在分詞短語作后置定語。或此處用定語從句修飾先行詞People,指代人,故應(yīng)用who引導(dǎo)從句。
69．考查副詞。修飾動詞catch應(yīng)該用easy的副詞形式,故用easily。
70．考查狀語從句。所以如果你想要少吃點/當(dāng)你想少吃點的時候,用藍(lán)色的盤子裝東西吃會有幫助。根據(jù)句意可知,此處用if引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句,或者用when引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句。
【點評】本文主要介紹的是不同顏色所代表的不同含義及其對人們的影響。
改錯題【答案】
【解析】
第一處：考查時態(tài)。該句時間狀語為last weekend，是表示過去的時間，故謂語動詞要用一般過去時態(tài)。
第二處：考查非謂語動詞。setting off very early置于主句之前，是分詞作狀語。主句主語we和set off之間是主動關(guān)系，故要用現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語。
第三處：考查副詞。修飾形容詞narrow，用副詞。
第四處：考查形容詞。一條道路有兩側(cè)，兩者中的任何一個要用either或each。
第五處：考查主謂一致和時態(tài)。該句是一個倒裝句。主語為green fields and some farm houses，且結(jié)合上下文可知，該句描述的是過去的情況，故謂語動詞應(yīng)用were。
第六處：考查非謂語動詞。mixed with our laughter是過去分詞作定語，修飾the rain and our footsteps，the rain and our footsteps和mix是被動關(guān)系，故要用過去分詞作定語。
第七處：考查主語從句?！皐hat surprised us most there”是主語從句，在該從句中，what是主語，意為“令我們感到驚訝的事”。
第八處：考查冠詞。rest意為“休息”，經(jīng)常和不定冠詞連用。
第九處：考查動詞用法。“share sth. with sb. /share with sb. sth.”意為“和某人分享某物”，故with多余，應(yīng)去掉。
第十處：考查連詞。句意：我們?nèi)矶剂軡窳?，但是我們又唱又笑，很高興。上下文之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故要將and改為but。
【點評】
文章描述了上周末班里的同學(xué)們冒雨爬山的經(jīng)過。
書面表達(dá)【答案】
Dear Brooke，
I am writing to tell you that I took the English Speech Contest held in my school yesterday．As the only one from my class．I had to challenge the other l5 excellent participants selected from the whole school．When it came to me to present，I got a little bit nervous at first，but soon I calmed down at the thought of your words and suggestions．As you predicted，everything went smoothly and I performed perfectly．Although the question-and-answer section was the most challenging，I managed to get through it properly with the techniques you taught me．When the judge announced the result, I wasn’t at all surprised but quite excited! I got the first prize in the contest，which I couldn’t imagine months ago．Thank you very much for your unselfish and careful help．
I’m looking forward to your return to China. I’d like to show you the contest vedio．
Yours,
Li Hua
