ONCE a group of 50 people was attending a seminar (研讨会). Halfway through his talk, the speaker stopped and decided to create a group activity. He went around the hall and gave each person a balloon. Each one was asked to write his or her name on the balloon using a marker pen. www-2-1-cnjy-com
Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.

Everyone was hurriedly searching for their name, bumping into each other, pushing each other around. It was a mess. At the end of the five minutes no one could find their own balloon.

If you visit the animal shelter in Salinas, California, you'll see huge wood cutouts(剪下的图形) of a dog and a cat. These signs were placed in front of the building to catch people's attention. The super sized cutouts make people curious and encourage them to visit the shelter--- and maybe even adopt(收养) a pet. Each year, the Salinas shelter takes in around 2,000 dogs and 2,000 cats. The animals are either strays or are dropped off by people who couldn't take care of them. Of the 4,000 animals, some of them are finally adopted into new homes. Some animals are moved to other shelters. And, unluckily, some cannot be saved because they are too sick or are considered dangerous.
Animal shelters provide food, medicine, and a safe place for animals to sleep. But they are not ideal homes. The shelters are loud, and the animals stay in small cages. The people who work at shelters do their best to care for the animals, but the animals do not always get the attention or exercise they need.
To prevent so many animals from becoming homeless, pet owners should take care of their pets. One of the best ways to care for pets is to spray or neuter them. This surgery prevents cats and dogs from having more babies. And that reduces the number of homeless animals that end up in shelters. 34. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The city of Salinas, California. B. Homeless animals in shelters. C. How to attract visitors to animal shelters. D. People who work at animal shelters. 35. Dogs in shelters probably do not get enough exercise because ______ 【出处：21教育名师】

WHEN my brother Joe was 6 months old, my mother brought him home from the hospital and told me to watch him while she fixed supper. We started playing a game I called “dogs”, rolling on the floor like pups (小狗). Then I looked up and saw my mother watching us. She was crying. “He?s blind,” she said. “The doctor told me today.”
I looked at Joe. He was laughing. “He can?t be blind,” I said. “he smiles at my face.” “He smiles at your voice,” she said. “He?ll never see your face.”
That was that. Joe was blind. Mama went back to cooking. I went back to playing a dog. From the age of 8, Joe boarded at a school for the deaf and the blind, learning to read Braille(文盲). When he was 16, the school said he?d learned enough and sent him home with a Braille typewriter. At 21, Joe moved out to live on his own, he said, “like a man,” in an apartment 48 kilometers away. He learned to cook, clean, and do almost anything else he needed.
Then he met the love of his life. She, too, was blind. When Joe called to tell me, he said: “Even a blind man can fall in love at first sight.”
They shared 10 good years before he lost her to cancer. Painfully soon after, he also lost our mother, who was his supporter, and our stepfather, who was Joe?s best friend.
What is left when you lose the loves of your life? My brother held close to himself three gifts: Faith, hope and love. His faith grew stronger. He always had hope. And his love for his family has never gotten weaker, despite (尽管)death. Loved ones leave, but love remains.
His legs are growing weaker. My sister and I often wonder what will happen if Joe can?t live on his own. It?s not up to us. You don?t find strength to do something until it?s time to do it. Joe has found it whenever he has needed it. I believe he will again.

D
When US student Olivia Priedeman, 17, woke up one morning, she thought she had had a dream about making plan with a friend. 2·1·c·n·j·y
But it wasn?t a dream. Her phone showed that during the night, Prideman had read a text message from her friend.
She did it while she was fast asleep.
Reading and sending text messages while asleep—called “sleep texting”—is an unusual sleep behaviour, similar to sleepwalking. It?s also a growing concern(关心的事) among doctors: young people can?t live without their cell phones.
Research shows one in three teenagers sends more than 100 text messages a day. And at least four out of five teenagers said they sleep with their phone on or near their bed.
Elizabeth Dowdell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, has studied sleeping texting. She said that having a phone nearby all night is a big part of the problem.
Andrew Stiehm, a sleep medicine expert with Allina Health in Minnesota, explains how sleep texting happens this way. It?s possible for the part of the brain that controls motor skills (动作技能) to wake up, while the part of the brain that controls memory and judgment(判断) may be still asleep. That?s why some people can perform basic movements ---such as walking, talking, texting or even driving—while they?re sleeping.
Some of Dowdell?s students said that they?re troubled by their nighttime texting behavior. But because sleep texting is unconscious(无意识的), it?s a difficult habit to break. Dowdell said she knows of some students who wear socks on their hands to keep themselves from texting.
Marjorie Hogan, a doctor at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, suggests keeping all electronic devices(电子设备) outside the bedroom at certain times. 42. What happened to Olivia Priedeman? A. She sleepwalked to a friend?s house.
B. She dreamed of making plans with a friend. C. She phoned one of her friends during the night.
D. She read a text message from her friend while asleep. 43. How does sleep texting happen?
A. Some parts of the body are out of control during sleep.
B. The brain part in control of motor skills wakes up during sleep. C. The brain part in control of judgment stays awake during sleep.
D. The brain part in control of memory becomes unconscious during sleep. 44. What does doctor Hogan suggest people who sleep text do? A. Stop texting during the daytime.
B. Take some medicine to control the behavior.
C. Keep their phones out of their bedrooms while they sleep. D. Wear socks on their hands to stop themselves from texting. 45. Which of the following statements about sleep texting is TRUE? A. Sleep texting can reduce the quality of one?s sleep. B. It?s easy to give up a sleep texting habit.
C. Sleep texting does more harm to one?s health than sleepwalking. D. One in three teenagers has a sleep texting habit. 四、词汇运用（共l0小题；每小题l分，计l0分）
