W: OK, that I understand. What about the next one
M: “Sound interested”. Well, this means you must never sound bored or angry, even if the caller is difficult.
W: I see. And I have to introduce myself to every caller.
M: Yes. At the start of every call you must give your name. So you would say “Good morning, Diana Clothing Company, Hong Jie speaking” — or “Lily speaking” in your case.
W: And I have to call the customer by name too
M: Yes, that’s right. It’s more personal and more polite.
W: Mm, and this last one — “Make a promise”. What do we have to promise exactly
M: At Diana we aren’t allowed to end a call without promising to do something. So you say “I’ll send you the introduction today”, for example, or “I’ll see what I can do and I’ll call you back”.
W: I see.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了在阿姆斯特丹进行自行车租赁和雇佣导游的操作方式，价格等细节。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“We offer the newest bicycles in a wide variety, including basic bikes with foot brake (刹车), bikes with hand brake and gears (排挡), bikes with child seats, and children’s bikes. (我们提供种类繁多的最新自行车，包括有脚刹的基本自行车、有手刹和带排挡的自行车、带儿童座椅的自行车和儿童自行车)”可推知，MacBike的优势是它提供许多类型的自行车。故选B。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据定价表可知，租一辆带手刹和三档的自行车一天需要14.75欧元，额外增加天数每天8欧元。所以租一辆带手刹和三档的自行车两天需要14.75+8=22.75欧元。故选C。
【23题详解】

B
A mother of nine who started medical school when her youngest child was 4 years old graduated with her degree and plans to be a neurosurgeon (神经外科医生).
Sarah Merrill, now 41, said her journey to medical school began at age 17. She then met her husband and got married. Merrill first thought about going to school part-time to get a degree, but later she decided to follow her dream of attending medical school. Certainly, it was a challenge. Speaking of her successfully returning to university, Merrill thought it was credited to her family largely. “When I was accepted at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, we moved from Pennsylvania to Arizona,” said Merrill, who is moving to Indiana with her family to begin her residency (实习期) in neurosurgery. “In fact, they volunteered these movements. I know it was tough for all of us.”
Merrill and her children often have “homework parties” where they study for their own courses. Merrill’s choice has given a stimulus to her children. Merrill felt touched knowing her 11-year-old daughter wants to become a surgeon and overhearing her son tell his friends his mom’s going to be a cool brain surgeon, though he doesn’t understand that really.
Merrill’s next step into a neurosurgery residency will take her into a male-dominated field where only 5% of board certified neurosurgeons are women. Dr. Michele Halyard at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine said Merrill was known as a focused student. Halyard said, “If you can deal with nine children and keep your reason, the residency should be a piece of cake because no amount of stress will make you fail.”
Merrill had considered choosing a more family-friendly specialty, but, again, chose to dream big and follow her original pursuit. It’s the same advice she would give to all. “Set the goal that is what you’re really enthusiastic about, and it helps to think small. If you know what your priorities are, focus on the next step. Then you’ll get where you want to go.”
24. Why does Merrill speak of their movements
A. To show the support of her family.
B. To stress her determination to be a doctor.
C. To reflect difficulties in attending college.
D. To describe the process of pursuing her dream.
25. What does the underlined word “stimulus” mean in paragraph 3
A. Entertainment. B. Inspiration.
C. Commitment. D. Confusion.
26. What does Halyard mean in paragraph 4
A. Merrill will have more stress to handle.
B. Staying focused and sensible is key to success.
C. Being Mom makes Merrill a better doctor.
D. She is confident of Merrill’s being a neurosurgeon.
27. What does Merrill suggest at last
A. Starting with small things.
B. Getting your priorities right.
C. Being true to your passion.
D. Having the courage to dream big.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Sarah Merrill是一位有九个孩子的妈妈，在她最小的孩子只有4岁时，Merrill决定追逐梦想上医学院。在历尽艰难获得医学学位后，Merrill选择步入只有5%的女性医生取得职业资格证书的神经外科，成为一名神经外科医生。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“Speaking of her successfully returning to university, Merrill thought it was credited to her family largely ... In fact, they volunteered these movements.(谈到她成功重返大学，Merrill认为这在很大程度上归功于她的家庭。Merrill说：“当我被梅奥诊所阿利克斯医学院录取时，我们从宾夕法尼亚州搬到了亚利桑那州。”她将和家人一起搬到印第安纳州，开始她的神经外科住院医生实习期。事实上，这些搬家是他们自愿的)”可知，Merrill认为她能成功回到校园主要归功于她的家人，为了方便她学习，Merrill一家从宾夕法尼亚州搬到亚利桑那州，现在为了她的工作又要搬到印第安纳州，并且这些搬家是她的家人主动提出的。由此可推断，Merrill提到他们的搬家是为了说明家人的支持。故选A。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“knowing her 11-year-old daughter wants to become a surgeon and overhearing her son tell his friends his mom’s going to be a cool brain surgeon, though he doesn’t understand that really(得知她11岁的女儿想成为一名外科医生，无意中听到她的儿子告诉他的朋友，他的妈妈将成为一名很酷的脑外科医生，尽管他真的不明白)”可知，Merrill的11岁的女儿想成为一名外科医生，她的儿子告诉朋友们他的妈妈会成为一名很酷的脑外科医生，由此可推断，Merrill决定成为一名神经外科医生的选择激励了孩子们。stimulus意为“激励”，inspiration“鼓舞人心的人（或事物）”与画线词含义相近。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“If you can deal with nine children and keep your reason, the residency should be a piece of cake because no amount of stress will make you fail.(如果你能同时照顾9个孩子并保持理智，实习应该是小菜一碟，因为再大的压力也不会让你失败)”可知，Halyard认为如果你能应对九个孩子并保持理智，那么神经外科医生的实习期应该是小菜一碟，因为即使再多的压力也不会让你失败。由此可推断，她对Merrill通过实习成为神经外科医生充满信心。故选D。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“... chose to dream big and follow her original pursuit. It’s the same advice she would give to all. ‘Set the goal that is what you’re really enthusiastic about(选择了远大的梦想，并遵循了她最初的追求。这也是她给所有人的建议。‘设定你真正感兴趣的目标)”可知，Merrill建议遵循最初的追求，设定真正热爱的目标。故选C。
C
A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But no question, the experience can be hard to get over.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse (激发，唤醒) the desire (渴望) to connect with others.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (共情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University, published in Psychological Science, found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4
A. Sad music can make people help others.
B. Sad music can make sad people feel better.
C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves.
D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves.
29. What does Churchill advise us to do when experiencing discomfort
A. Listen to a sad song. B. Avoid unwise actions.
C. Find support from others. D. Face the discomfort directly.
30. How does the author develop this text
A. By listing figures.
B. By giving directions.
C. By comparing examples.
D. By presenting research findings.
31. Which is the best title for the text
A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches
B. How We React to A Broken Heart Matters a Lot
C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life
D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是听悲伤音乐能够治愈悲伤的原因。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.(悲伤的音乐可以帮助你从破碎的心中治愈和振作起来。)”可知，悲伤音乐能帮助人们从新振奋精神，结合第四段中的“Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood.(肯特大学的另一项实验发现，当人们感到悲伤时，听“美丽但悲伤”的音乐可以改善他们的情绪。)”可知，实验发现，在人经历悲伤的时候，听悲伤音乐能改善情绪，综上可知，悲伤音乐可以让人们感觉更好。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.(正如丘吉尔的名言：“如果你正在经历地狱，那就继续前进。”这种不适会让你制定一个计划，一个新的行动。它点燃了希望。)”可知，丘吉尔认为，如果遭遇困难的时候，要继续前进，这种不适会让你制定计划，开始新的行动，由此可知，丘吉尔是要我们直面困难。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again.(但研究表明，心痛是有解决的途径的。听悲伤的音乐是主要的。它可以帮助你重新感受到生活的快乐和希望。)”、第三段中的“A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (共情), and a desire for positive connection with others.(德国最近的一项研究发现，听悲伤的音乐对情绪的影响是一种同理心的唤起，以及与他人建立积极联系的愿望。)”、第四段中的“Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. (肯特大学的另一项实验发现，当人们感到悲伤时，听“美丽但悲伤”的音乐可以改善他们的情绪。)”以及尾段中的“These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense.(这些发现与其他研究相联系，这些研究表明，从情感上接受你的悲伤处境会导致愈合和成长。这看起来难以置信，但确实有道理。)”可知，全文中分别介绍了几项不同的研究，并对这些研究进行了分析，这些研究都证明了听悲伤音乐有助于改善人们的情绪，由此可知，作者是通过介绍研究结果展开的。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But no question, the experience can be hard to get over.(破碎的心。一段恋情的悲惨结局。这是我们大多数人都经历过的，或者可能会经历的。毕竟，这是人类生活的一部分。但毫无疑问，这种经历很难忘记。)”可知，本文通过陈述生活中的客观情况，引出本文的话题，结合下文中的“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse (激发，唤醒) the desire (渴望) to connect with others. (但研究表明，心痛是有解决途径的。听悲伤的音乐是主要的。它可以帮助你重新感受到生活的快乐和希望。它能唤起与他人联系的欲望。)”可知，心痛的解决途径之一就是听悲伤音乐，进而在下文中列举多个研究发现听悲伤音乐有助于改善人们的情绪，并对这些研究结果进行了分析，由此可知，本文介绍了听悲伤音乐能治愈悲伤的原因，所以本文的标题为“为什么听悲伤音乐能治愈悲伤”与本文内容一致，且概括了本文的主题。故选D项。
D
People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers (包装纸). While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is focused on environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advises readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most famous advertising agencies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative (倡议). The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性). As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly. However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence.
32. What do we know about the “Green Newspaper”
A. It uses high-tech materials.
B. It provides energy for seeds.
C. It’s printed with plant-based ink.
D. It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day.
33. What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey
A. It’s easier said than done.
B. Everything comes to him who waits.
C. Many hands make light work.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
34. What’s the author’s attitude to the “Green Newspaper”
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent. D. Negative.
35. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. About 59 million trees are lost for producing newspapers.
B. The Internet has changed the way people read news totally.
C. The popularity of the Internet leads to the fall of the print readership.
D. The “Green Newspaper” will encourage more people to protect the environment.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一家日本出版公司对废纸的处理。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants.(更特别的是，用于打印文字和照片的墨水是由植物制成的)”可知，打印这种“绿色环保的报纸”的墨水是由植物制成的。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性). As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily.(出版商的信念是环境的可持续性。正如其使命宣言所言，“《每日新闻》不仅通过信息采取行动，还通过解决全球问题采取行动。”在大家的共同努力下，这一创想已经传播到了日本的各个角落，每天的销量达到了数百万份)”可知，出版商的使命宣言和出版商的行为相一致，他们的理念是环境的可持续性，而他们也通过自己的行动践行这一理念。由此推知，选项D“Actions speak louder than words.(事实胜于雄辩)”阐述的正是这家出版商的行为。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence.(然而，这份报纸的重塑和再想象将带来出版业的变化，并对环境产生影响)”可推知，作者对于这份报纸抱有支持的态度。故选B。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly.(每年约有9500万棵树因生产报纸而消失。互联网的用户数量占全球人口的62.5%，它影响了人们阅读新闻的方式，纸质报纸的读者数量大幅下降)”可知，由于互联网的普及，纸质报纸的读者数量大幅下降。故选C。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was Monday. I was standing in the doorway of my room at The Seeing Eye (a guide dog school) anxiously waiting to hear my instructor call my name. All sorts of questions ran through my mind, and on the top was the fear that I was making an awful mistake — To adopt (领养) a guide dog when I had been afraid of dogs all my life Crazy!
I wanted to bite my nails. I changed from one foot to the other and sighed frequently. Finally, shocking me out of my own thoughts, I heard my instructor say, “Shannon!”
“Shannon,” she said, “This is George.”
Two huge paws touched my knees.
“Down, George,” my instructor said, and the dog obeyed immediately.
We were taken back to my room where the door was closed, being left alone. I petted him. He put up his paw to shake my hand, and he sat so nicely, as if to say, “I’m a good boy, I promise.”
However, several minutes later, George got bored with me and went to the door, crying out for the lady who had trained him. I was at a complete loss as to what to do next.
Sometime later, my instructor took George and me on a walk outside. I took the handle of George’s harness (项圈) and stumbled (跌跌撞撞走) around that path instead of walking, and I kept stepping on poor George’s feet, but he never stopped and neither did I. Still, I was worried. If this stumbling around was what I could expect, maybe this guide dog wasn’t for me.
In the school, we were taught to walk with our dogs. We were also taught to feed, water and care for our dogs without any sighted help. We had to master all things before we left the school. Sometimes, it was easy, and sometimes it was not.
I struggled hard in order to pass the last day exam, where I would walk along an unfamiliar street with George. If we arrived at the destination safely, I could take George home.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally the big moment came.

Then came my instructor’s words, “You did it!”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Finally, the big moment came. I stood there at the corner and took a deep breath. Obviously, my instructor was asking me to put my life into the hands of a dog. I lifted the leather handle and took another breath. “George, forward.” Suddenly, this seventy-eight-pound dog started pulling me down an unfamiliar sidewalk. I had never walked so fast that my feelings were ranging between terror, amazement and joy. And then without warning, George stopped.
Then came my instructor’s words, “You did it!” I did it! I had walked down an unfamiliar sidewalk at a pace that most sighted folks would call running. I knelt down on that hot sidewalk and hugged that big dog. “We did it, George! You did it!” For the next eight years, I was covered in dog hair but I didn’t feel like a disabled person. George stopped working as a guide dog in August 2006, but he lives on in my memory, reminding me to trust in myself no matter how rough the sidewalks get.
【解析】

A mother of nine who started medical school when her youngest child was 4 years old graduated with her degree and plans to be a neurosurgeon (神经外科医生).
Sarah Merrill, now 41, said her journey to medical school began at age 17. She then met her husband and got married. Merrill first thought about going to school part-time to get a degree, but later she decided to follow her dream of attending medical school. Certainly, it was a challenge. Speaking of her successfully returning to university, Merrill thought it was credited to her family largely. “When I was accepted at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, we moved from Pennsylvania to Arizona,” said Merrill, who is moving to Indiana with her family to begin her residency (实习期) in neurosurgery. “In fact, they volunteered these movements. I know it was tough for all of us.”
Merrill and her children often have “homework parties” where they study for their own courses. Merrill’s choice has given a stimulus to her children. Merrill felt touched knowing her 11-year-old daughter wants to become a surgeon and overhearing her son tell his friends his mom’s going to be a cool brain surgeon, though he doesn’t understand that really.
Merrill’s next step into a neurosurgery residency will take her into a male-dominated field where only 5% of board certified neurosurgeons are women. Dr. Michele Halyard at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine said Merrill was known as a focused student. Halyard said, “If you can deal with nine children and keep your reason, the residency should be a piece of cake because no amount of stress will make you fail.”
Merrill had considered choosing a more family-friendly specialty, but, again, chose to dream big and follow her original pursuit. It’s the same advice she would give to all. “Set the goal that is what you’re really enthusiastic about, and it helps to think small. If you know what your priorities are, focus on the next step. Then you’ll get where you want to go.”
24. Why does Merrill speak of their movements
A. To show the support of her family.
B. To stress her determination to be a doctor.
C. To reflect difficulties in attending college.
D. To describe the process of pursuing her dream.
25. What does the underlined word “stimulus” mean in paragraph 3
A. Entertainment. B. Inspiration.
C. Commitment. D. Confusion.
26. What does Halyard mean in paragraph 4
A. Merrill will have more stress to handle.
B. Staying focused and sensible is key to success.
C. Being Mom makes Merrill a better doctor.
D. She is confident of Merrill’s being a neurosurgeon.
27. What does Merrill suggest at last
A Starting with small things.
B. Getting your priorities right.
C. Being true to your passion.
D. Having the courage to dream big.
C
A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But no question, the experience can be hard to get over.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse (激发，唤醒) the desire (渴望) to connect with others.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (共情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University, published in Psychological Science, found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4
A. Sad music can make people help others.
B. Sad music can make sad people feel better.
C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves.
D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves.
29. What does Churchill advise us to do when experiencing discomfort
A. Listen to a sad song. B. Avoid unwise actions.
C Find support from others. D. Face the discomfort directly.
30. How does the author develop this text
A. By listing figures.
B By giving directions.
C. By comparing examples.
D. By presenting research findings.
31. Which is the best title for the text
A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches
B. How We React to A Broken Heart Matters a Lot
C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life
D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart
D
People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers (包装纸). While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is focused on environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advises readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most famous advertising agencies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative (倡议). The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性). As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly. However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence.
32. What do we know about the “Green Newspaper”
A. It uses high-tech materials.
B. It provides energy for seeds.
C. It’s printed with plant-based ink.
D. It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day.
33. What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey
A. It’s easier said than done.
B. Everything comes to him who waits.
C. Many hands make light work.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
34. What’s the author’s attitude to the “Green Newspaper”
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent. D. Negative.
35. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. About 59 million trees are lost for producing newspapers.
B. The Internet has changed the way people read news totally.
C. The popularity of the Internet leads to the fall of the print readership.
D. The “Green Newspaper” will encourage more people to protect the environment.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was Monday. I was standing in the doorway of my room at The Seeing Eye (a guide dog school), anxiously waiting to hear my instructor call my name. All sorts of questions ran through my mind, and on the top was the fear that I was making an awful mistake — To adopt (领养) a guide dog when I had been afraid of dogs all my life Crazy!
I wanted to bite my nails. I changed from one foot to the other and sighed frequently. Finally, shocking me out of my own thoughts, I heard my instructor say, “Shannon!”
“Shannon,” she said, “This is George.”
Two huge paws touched my knees.
“Down, George,” my instructor said, and the dog obeyed immediately.
We were taken back to my room where the door was closed, being left alone. I petted him. He put up his paw to shake my hand, and he sat so nicely, as if to say, “I’m a good boy, I promise.”
However, several minutes later, George got bored with me and went to the door, crying out for the lady who had trained him. I was at a complete loss as to what to do next.
Sometime later, my instructor took George and me on a walk outside. I took the handle of George’s harness (项圈) and stumbled (跌跌撞撞走) around that path instead of walking, and I kept stepping on poor George’s feet, but he never stopped and neither did I. Still, I was worried. If this stumbling around was what I could expect, maybe this guide dog wasn’t for me.
In the school, we were taught to walk with our dogs. We were also taught to feed, water and care for our dogs without any sighted help. We had to master all things before we left the school. Sometimes, it was easy, and sometimes it was not.
I struggled hard in order to pass the last day exam, where I would walk along an unfamiliar street with George. If we arrived at the destination safely, I could take George home.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally the big moment came.
