21、My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around our neighbourhood. Two dog walkers passed by and one of them said, “Never seen that dog around here before.”

We looked down the hill and saw an old black dog stumbling (蹒跚) painfully up the hill. We bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar. There was a phone number on it, but no one answered.

The dog was really thin. It didn’t have many teeth left.

Julie ran home to get some of our dog’s food while I tried to encourage the dog to come along with me. Julie got home and back again when I was only half way there. So, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend ate its food.

Finally we got it home. We gave it a blanket, more food and wondered what to do next.

After trying for many times, we got a reply from the number. A lady came. She explained that Tara had been her father’s dog. It was very old and should probably be put to sleep, but the lady just couldn’t bring herself to do it. So, Tara was safely returned home.

Here is the truth of the story:

In fact, Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to come back, but I still didn’t find it possible. I was going to turn and go when an old, weak dog walked between us and collapsed. Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.

We did help it. And here am I writing the story in my own home. In the song “Love Is Not a Fight”, Warren Barfield talks about marriage. He sings, “And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door.”

Sometimes angels come disguised (伪装) as dogs.

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．The two dog walkers didn’t like the dog.

B．The old black dog was sick and weak and couldn’t walk.

C．After finding the dog, the writer phoned its owners.

D．Most of the dog’s teeth had been pulled out by someone.

【2】We can learn from Paragraph 4 that ________.

A．Julie bought some food for the dog

B．the writer had his own pet dog

C．the dog didn’t go with the writer

D．the dog didn’t eat any of the food.

【3】After they got the dog home, the couple ________.

A．decided to raise the dog

B．took good care of the dog

C．found out that its owner was a lady

D．found it hard to get to sleep

【4】The underlined part “our problem” in the passage refers to the fact that ________.

A．The writer didn’t want to take Julie’s advice

B．Julie disagreed with the writer’s travel on business

C．an old and worn out dog appeared in front of them

D．the couple had some trouble with their marriage

【5】What happened at the end of the story?

A．The writer had decided not to leave his family.

B．The dog stayed with the couple from then on.

C．The writer sang a song.

D．Angels came to the writer’s home.

22、   In Japan, the appearance(出现)of the cherry blossoms(花), called sakura in Japanese, marks the beginning of spring, and the Japanese as well as visitors to Japan are eagerly waiting for them.

This year, The Japan Meteorological Corporation(日本气象厅)says that the sakura flowers will bloom(开花)a little earlier than usual. In Tokyo, they may bloom on March 23, and in Kyoto on March 24.

Like every year(except for in Okinawa, where the trees bloom very early), it will be in Kochi, on Shikoku Island, that you can see the first cherry blossoms of the season. In 2019, the beginning of the flowering period is scheduled(预定)for March 17, with the first day of full bloom is March 25.

●KYOTO—March 24

●OSAKA—March 26

●KAGOSHIMA—March 28

●KANAZAWA—April 2

●AOMORI—April 24

●SAPPORO—May 4

But people need to know that the flowering times are a little bit different every year because of the weather. Cold, hot, or rainy days will certainly affect(影响)when the flowers bloom and for how long.

23、   Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine. When, suddenly, your mobile phone loses its signal, the television has no programs, and you can't get online with your computer.

What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar storm(太阳风暴) might cause. You may not think of storms as putting out society in danger. But today, a solar storm is as serious as other bad events, such as earthquakes.

A solar storm is caused by solar flares(太阳耀斑): large explosions(爆炸) near the sun that can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems(卫星系统) that control our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.

In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentine's Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.

“Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we've seen in the past. We're not talking about a few cities losing power, it could be half of the country, maybe more.”SolarStormWarning. com, a US website about space weather, warned.

Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.

【1】According to the passage, a solar storm can cause many problems EXCEPT that________.

A.earthquakes happen B.mobile phones have no signals

C.people cannot get online D.the power may go out

【2】According to the passage, solar flares are________.

A.telecom networks B.solar storms

b. people can't get online with their computers

c. solar storms happen

d. satellite systems are stopped

A.a­b­c­d B.a­c­d­b

C.c­a­b­d D.c­b­a­d

【4】The writer wrote the passage mainly to________.

A.call for scientists to predict when the next solar storm will happen

B.tell people how to solve the problems caused by solar storms

C.introduce what solar storms are to people

D.ask people to work to prevent the solar storm

24、   Linda Evans was my best friend. We did everything together, piano lessons, movies, swimming, and horseback riding.

When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding and Linda’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown”. I had no idea how to find Linda.

Over the years, I missed Linda very much, I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked a lot like Linda and whose last name was Wagman—Linda’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but I still wrote to her.

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother.”

Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled，and there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: we won’t lose each other again!

Second, 【6】 (shop) through the Internet can save them some money and a lot of time. Third, they don’t need to go to shops 【7】 (them). Because of these good facts, few people refuse it.
