首要节（共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出合适选项。
A
One Sunday，my family had gathered at my parents，house to feast upon Mom，s wonderful cooking. During the normal dinner chatter, I noticed that my father was slurring (说话含混）his words. No one mentioned this during dinner, but I felt compelled to discuss it with my mother afterward.
We decided that there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor.
Mom phoned me two days later. “ The doctor found a brain tumor (肿瘤）• It，s too large at this point to operate. Maybe they can do something then，but the odds are long. ”
Even with the treatment, my father’ s condition worsened, and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was terminal. During one of his stays in the hospital, we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him. By this time he had great difficulty speaking. I finally figured out that he wanted Chelsey to sit on his stomach so he could make faces at her.
Watching the two of them together, I realized I was living an experience that would stay with me forever. Though grateful for the times they could share，I couldn，t shake the feeling of a clock ticking in the background.
On the visit to my parents，home during what we all know was my father，s last days, my mother took Chelsey from my arms and announced, “Your father would like to see you alone for a minute. ”
I entered the bedroom where my father lay on a rented hospital bed. He appeared even weaker than the day before.
“How are you feeling, Dad?” I asked. “Can I do anything for you?”
He tried to speak, but he couldn，t make out a word.
“I，m sorry，but I can’ t understand you，” I said.
With great difficulty he said, “I love you. ”
We don' t learn courage from heroes on the evening news. We learn true courage from watching ordinary people rise above hopeless situations. In many ways my father was a strict，uncommunicative man. He found it difficult to show emotion. The bravest thing I ever saw him do was overcome that barrier to open his heart to his son and family at the end of his life.

A. he was not used to openly showing his emotions
B. he was not so attached to the writer
C. he thought there was no need to tell the writer
D. he believed in strictness and punishment
24. What does the writer attempt to tell us?

The Zebra Finch ： An Owner ’s  Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet
The zebra finch，a native of Australia，is a popular domestic pet in the United States. The bird has many attributes (特性)which allow it to be kept at home，though there are also a few negative aspects. The attributes are nest-building， breeding and a lively attitude. The potential negatives are over- breeding and the wildness of the birds.
One of the main attributes of zebra finches is their ability to breed. They are the rabbits of the domestic bird world. Once you have two birds, male and female, you will soon have six, as they breed quite easily and have strong babies, usually four at a time. An added attribute is their ability to build their own nests. You can place branch in their place along with some kind of structure, and they will create a nest on their own. It’s very pleasant to see the ways males and females divide some labors and share others, and the babies grow up quickly. Overall, zebra finches are energetic birds, and they can make every place where they live delightful lives.
On the negative side, they will breed and in-breed. Often, in-breeding does little harm and does not cause genetic defects (缺陷），as happens more often in other species. However, no one can tolerate just any population level. One has to either remove their nests
altogether, which basically removes their personal living place, or check for eggs regularly once a week (the gestation period 妊娠期 is 13 days, so even a one-week neglect can lead to births). Eggs can be replaced with false plastic eggs，and this prevents females from laying too many. If they do lay too many, they will die from mineral loss. Since these birds do not tame well, removing eggs can be an unpleasant process of repeatedly invading their personal space.
Overall, it is unfortunate that zebra finches are inexpensive birds due to their high level of breeding. They require considerable care to live happy lives. The best care-takers are true avian fanciers — people who have appropriate space for the nests and enough time to allow them to nest-build and breed without over-breeding.
28. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Zebra finches over-breed by nature and its consequent ill effects.
B. Only people who love birds can take care of Zebra finches.
C. Domestic zebra finches require a lot of care to live happy lives.
D. Zebra finches never become completely tame.
29. By saying “They are the rabbits of the domestic bird world”，the writer means that both
rabbits and Zebra finches .[来源:Z§xx§k.Com]
A. have good ability to breed
B. are difficult to be raised
C. live delightful lives
D. share responsibilities
30.  According to the passage, attributes of domestic zebra finches include  —.
A. their rareness and easiness to be tamed *
B. their nest-building，sharing of responsibilities and delightful personalities
C. their in-breeding, which does not cause as much genetic harm as in other species
D. the fact that they are from Australia and have difficulty in adapting themselves [来源:学科网]

The Nez Perce Indians are a tribe that lived in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. At the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition (远征队），which was one of the first journeys by Americans from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and back again, the Nez Perce territory (领土）covered about 17 million acres, covering parts of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. But that was a brief sweet history.
In September 1805，when Lewis and Clark came off the Rockies on their westward journey, the entire exploring party was hungry and ill — too weak to defend themselves.
Had the Nez Perce chosen to attack them, they could have put an end to the Lewis and
Clark expedition there on the banks of Clearwater River. Instead the Nez Perce welcomed the white Americans and looked after them until they made a full recovery. Thus began a long friendship between the Nez Perce and white Americans. But white men ’ s greed for land and gold finally broke the friendship.
In 1855 Governor Isaac Stevens of Washington Territory invited the Nez Perce to a peace conference. He said there were a great many white people in the country, and many more would come. But the chief of the tribe at that time, Old Joseph, replied, “Take away your paper. I will not touch it with my hand. ”
Things were quiet for a while after that，but not for long. When Old Joseph died，the
chiefship was passed onto Young Joseph. In the late 1870s，government officials came to order the Nez Perce to leave the Wallowa Valley and then began hard battles between the Nez Perce and the white soldiers. After the tribe had fought thirteen battles and moved 1 ,600 miles towards Canada in an attempt to retreat (撤退)north, Young Joseph, gave in to the United States Army. Here was his famous statement, “Hear me my chiefs. I am tired ； my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever. ”
In 1885，chief joseph was sent along with mang of his band to the Colville Reservation  in Washington where Joseph continued to lead his band for another 25 years, at times coming into conflict with the leaders of 11 other tribes living on the reservation
31. What is TRUE of the Lewis and Clark expedition?
A. They were well cared for by the Nez Perce.
B. They ended their expedition on the banks of Clearwater River.
C. They started the first battle with the Nez Perce.
D. They were the first Americans to travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
32. What ended the friendship between the Nez Perce and the Whites?
A. Old Joseph’s proud manner.
B. The breakdown of the peace talk.
C. A growing number of white men in the land.
D. White men’s increasing demand for land and gold.
33. Young Joseph gave in at last because .
A. he grew older
B. he was terribly ill
C. he hated the war
D. he lost other chiefs’ support
34. Which map most probably shows the path the Nez Perce took in the late 1870s?
35. The passage might be followed by a paragraph about •
A. the customs and traditions of the Nez Perce Indians
B. the last years of Chief Joseph in the Colville Reservation
C. lasting fights between the Nez Perce and the Whites
D. constant conflicts between the Nez Perce and other tribes

The two features of life in England that possibly give visitors the worst impressions are the English weather and English cooking. 61 former is a natural phenomenon and nobody can do anything about it. But cooking is something that can be learned. English food has often been described as 62 ( taste) . Recently，the situation has changed
somewhat because so many people 63 ( spend) their holidays abroad and learning to
appreciate 64 (familiar) dishes. One of the traditional 65 (complaint) about
English food is the way that vegetables are cooked. The only way that many British housewives know to cook green vegetables is 66 ( boil) them for too long in too much salt water and then to throw the water away so that all the vitamins are lost. To make
matters 67 (bad)，they do not strain the vegetables sufficiently so that 68 appear
as a wet mass on the plate.
However, it would be unfair to say that all English food is bad. Indeed not only the raw ingredients are usually 69 high quality, especially the meat and fish, 70 many traditional British dishes are as good as anything you can get anywhere. A visitor who is invited to an English home might well enjoy steak and kidney pudding or pie，all sorts of smoked fish.
