II. Cloze Test
The money and the time we spend on pets is simply not our own to spend as we like in a time of widespread want and
starvation. A 11 organization advertises that for $$33 a month they can give hospital care to a child suffering from
kwashiorkor-the severe deficiency disease 12 is simply a starving for protein. Doing 13 such a pet, and then sending

the money saved to a relief organization would mean 14 a life-over the years, several human lives.
Children not 15 from such a grave disease could be fed with half that amount-not on a diet like ours, but on plain,
basic, life- sustaining food. It is not unreasonable to believe 16 the amount of money we spend on the average pet dog
could keep a child 17 in a region of great poverty. 18 what we would spend on a cat might not feed a child, but it 19
probably pay for his medical care or basic education. The point needs no 20 . That is all that need be said.

20. A. doing B. operating C. laboring D. functioning
III. Reading Comprehension
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people.
“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a
friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “Why didn’t I realize that Paul was friendly just because I had a car?” When we
look back, doubts like these can make up feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. If we
don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” Is he
really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky boy” or “You’re a lucky girl”, that’s being friendly. But there’s a bit of
envy in “lucky dog.” Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he
may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It
could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he?
Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving
people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do

his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His gesture? The look in his eyes?
Stop and think.
The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you many save another mistake.
21. According to the writer, when people look back it is too late, because .
A. mistakes have already been made B. mistakes can made them feel bad
C. they are unaware of their mistakes D. they are doubtful of their friends
22. People make mistakes when they fail to
A. deal with others with due friendliness B. hide their true feelings in what they say
C. realize they deserve what they have got D. see the real meaning of what others say
23. Judging from the phrase “just think of all the things you have to be thankful for”, it is clear that the speaker
actually lacks .
A. optimism B. sympathy C. motivation D. courage
24. To be a successful listener, one is advised to
A. ask the speaker as many questions as he can
B. observe the speaker as carefully as possible
C. listen to the speaker as attentively as he can
D. challenge the speaker as actively as possible
25. The passage aims to tell readers how to .
A. interpret what people say B. interpret what money means
C. avoid mistakes about people D. avoid mistakes about money
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Doctors have long known that eating fish helps protect against heart disease. What they don’t know is why fish are
beneficial. For years they figured it was a simple question of substitution: folks who replace red meat with fish are
naturally cutting down their intake of saturated (饱和的) fat. But a growing body of evidence collected over the past
30 years suggests fish contain healthful elements called omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 fatty acids belong to a group of compounds known as polyunsaturated fats. These fats serve as the raw
material for a whole host of essential structures in the body, from brain cells to molecules (分子) that regulate blood
pressure.
Since our bodies cannot manufacture their own supply of omega-3s, we have to get them from the food we eat, mostly
from fish but also from plant sources like soybeans (大豆).
The American Heart Association has recommended that everyone eat two 85-g servings of fatty fish a week. But the
