题卡上将该项涂黑。（共20小题；每小题2分，满分，40分）
A
A newly-wed couple on a four-month honeymoon were hit by six natural disasters, including the
Australian floods, Christchurch earthquake and Japanese tsunami（海啸）.
Stefan and Erika Svanstrom left Stockholm, Sweden, on December 6 and were immediately stranded（搁浅）in Munich, Germany, due to one of Europe's worst snowstorms.
　　Travelling with their baby daughter, they flew on to Cairns in Australia which was then struck by one of the most ferocious cyclones（龙卷风）in the nation's history. From there, the couple, in their 20s, were forced to shelter for 24 hours on the cement floor of a shopping centre with 2,500 others. "Trees were being knocked over and big branches were scattered across the streets," Mr Svanstrom told Sweden's Expressen newspaper. "We escaped by the skin of our teeth."
　　They then headed south to Brisbane but the city was experiencing massive flooding, so they crossed the country to Perth where they narrowly escaped raging bush fires. The couple then flew to Christchurch, New Zealand, arriving just after a massive magnitude 6.3 earthquake devastated the city on February 22.
　　Mrs Svanstrom said: "When we got there the whole town was a war zone.
　　"We could not visit the city since it was completely blocked off, so instead we travelled around before going to Japan."
　　But days after the Svanstroms arrived, Tokyo was rocked by Japan's largest earthquake since records began. "The trembling was horrible and we saw roof tiles fly off the buildings," Mr Svantrom said. "It was like the buildings were swaying back and forth." The family returned to Stockholm on March 29 after a much calmer visit to their last destination China.
　　But Mr Svanstrom, who also survived the devastating Boxing Day tsunami that hit southeast Asia in 2004, said the marriage was still going strong. He added: "I know marriages have to endure some trials, but I think we have been through most of them.
　　"We've certainly experienced more than our fair share of catastrophes, but the most important thing is that we're together and happy.

44．According to the last two paragraphs, which word can best describe Mr. Svanstrom?

One trip for their Jack Russell terrier in a plane’s cargo hold was enough to convince Alysa Binder
and Dan Wiesel that owners needed a better option to get their pets from one city to another.
On Tuesday, the first flight for the husband-and-wife team's Pet Airways, the first-ever all-pet airline, took off from Republic Airport in Farmingdale, N.Y.
All commercial airlines allow a limited number of small pets to fly in the cabin. Others must travel as checked bags or in the cargo hold — a dark and sometimes dangerous place where temperatures can vary wildly.
Binder and Wiesel used their consulting backgrounds and business savvy to start Pet Airways in 2005. The last four years have been spent designing their fleet of five planes according to new four-legged requirements, dealing with FAA regulations and setting up airport schedules.
The two say they're overwhelmed with the response. Flights on Pet Airways are already booked up for the next two months.
Pet Airways will fly a pet between five major cities — New York, Washington, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles. The $250 one-way fare is comparable to pet fees at the largest U.S. airlines.
For owners the big difference is service. Dogs and cats will fly in the main cabin of a Suburban Air Freight plane, retooled and lined with carriers in place of seats. Pets (about 50 on each flight) will be escorted to the plane by attendants that will check on the animals every 15 minutes during flight. The pets are also given pre-boarding walks and bathroom breaks. And at each of the five airports it serves, the company has created a "Pet Lounge" for future fliers to wait and sniff before flights.
A trip from New York to Los Angeles, for example, will take about 24 hours. On that route, pets will stop in Chicago, have a bathroom break, play time, dinner, and bunk for the night before finishing the trip the next day.
Amanda Hickey of Portland, Ore. is one of the new airline's first customers. Her seven-year-old terrier-pinscher mix Mardi and 2-year-old puggle Penny are taking their first flight soon.
Hickey said the service was a welcome alternative to flying her dogs in cargo when she transplants them from her soon-to-be Denver home to Chicago to stay while she and her fiance travel to Aruba to get married.
"For a little bit more money, I have peace of mind," she said.
45．Jack Russell is probably .
A．a baby
B．a little boy
C．a pet
D．the couple’s child
46．Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．The first-ever all-[et airline hits skies.
B．A better option to get their pets from one city to another.
C．Flights on Pet Airways.
D．Alysa Binder and Dan Wiesel.
47．Which of the following is the service that are designed for the pets on the flight?
a．The pets are given pre-boarding walks and bathroom breaks.
b．The attendants will check on the animals every 15 minutes during flight.
c．Attendants will send the pets to the plane.
d．The pets can take a walk on the plane freely.
e．At each of the five airports it serves, there is a “Pet Lounge” for future fliers to want and sniff
before flights.
A．a.b.c.d B．a.b.c.e C．b.c.d.e D．a.b.d.e
48．What does the underlined word “savvy” in the fourth paragraph probably mean?
A．fund B．information C．knowledge D．mind
C
My pretty girlfriend had a failed marriage in the past. After divorce, her parents shed the deepest protection and care to her by helping her attend to the child and offering financial aids. Her parents’ love made her pull herself together and forget the man who had hurt her before.
Nonetheless, her father, an honest and upright old man, after hearing his ex-son-in-law got promoted in his company, felt terrifically irritated (激怒)and went to his company to question his boss why a philandering(沾花惹草的) man with corrupt conducts could get promoted. The whole office fell into a mess immediately and many staff just watched on the sidelines. Some people even whispered lightly, “It is a new era now and the relationship between men and women is very open. No one would care about that any more!”
The old man stood silently in the office with his hands shivering and eyes tearing.
That night, my girlfriend cried heavily in front of me. I asked her whether it was her father’s stupid deeds that made her feel shamed. But she said that she felt guilty for her dad and that though the rest of the whole world betrayed her, her old father would still back her up and help her get the justice she deserved, just as when she was young and the neighboring boy grabbed her ball, her father would get it back for her. However, this changed world was no longer the stage for her old father and his deeds became funnily obsolete(老式的). No one managed to see the real and ever-lasting love to his daughter behind his seemingly rude behaviors.
Now we have grown up, so much so that we could support our family and have our own children. But in our parents’ heart, they are still worried about us. They even would not like us to suffer a bit and try all means to protect us without caring about whether what they do is awkward and stupid or not.
Who in the world would love us so deeply and relentlessly without asking for any repay? Only our parents!

50．Why did the friend’s father go to his ex-son-in-law’s company?
A．Because he wanted to ask his ex-son-in-law to remarry his daughter.
B．Because he was angry at his ex-son-in-law conducts.
C．Because he wanted the boss not to promote his ex-son-in-law.
D．Because his ex-son-in-law hurt his daughter.
51．From the fourth paragraph we know that _____________．
