This was because men, going through the Arctic (北极的) darkness, had discovered (发现) a yellow metal—gold. And because shipping and transportation companies were advertising the discovery, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles (肌肉) for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold. Buck lived at Judge Miller’s house in the sunny-kissed Santa Clara Valley. There were big stables (马厩), long grape fields, fruit gardens and a big swimming pool. Buck ruled over the whole kingdom. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. But he had saved himself by not becoming a mere house dog. He protected the Judge’s sons and daughters on long midnight or early morning walks. On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge’s feet in front of the warm library fire. He was king—King over everything, crawled (爬行的), walked, or flew at Judge Miller’s place, including humans. Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that Manuel, one of gardener’s helpers, was not to be trusted. Manuel loved to gamble (赌博). He believed he could win but he was doomed to failure. On the night of Manuel’s betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck go off through the fields. Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk. They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them. Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck’s neck. Buck accepted it quietly. To be sure, it was unwanted, but Buck had learned to trust men he knew. However, when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger’s hands, he barked. Then the rope tightened (收紧) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim (浑浊), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the baggage car. 31. Buck was a ________. A. judge B. dog C. gardener D. horse 32. Why were thousands of men rushing into the Northland? ________ A. Because they could live a better life there. B. Because they might discover gold there. C. Because they could find strong dogs there. D. Because it was a warm place. 33.

He lay at the Judge’s feet. C. He walked around the house. D. He went off through the fields. 35. The story is mainly about ________. A. animals’ trust in humans B. people’s discovery of gold C. Buck’s early life at Judge Miller’s D. the turning point (转折点) of Buck’s life People depend on road signs to know where they are and to reach the places they want. But by following signs saying “Forbidden City” and “Sino-Japanese” Hospital, visitors to Beijing may have a hard time finding their way to the Forbidden City and the China-Japan Hospital. “They guided people incorrectly. Some foreign tourists complained that some of these signs prevented them from knowing where they were. To make things worse, they forgot the fact that Beijing is an international city,” said Li Honghai at the Fourth Meeting of the Beijing Speaks English Programme Committee (委员会). At this meeting, correcting mistakes on road signs became the centre of the discussions. Last month, all areas in the capital were asked to check their English road signs. The checks mainly cover areas with many foreigners, such as scenic spots, transit routes, and large hotels. Besides Beijing municipal government, citizens (市民) and foreign tourists also joined in the activity. “Many Beijingers phoned or emailed us the mistakes they had found. Their work helped us a lot,” said Zhang Mao, Vice Mayor of Beijing. Most mistakes are caused by poor translation (翻译). Sometimes the language workers themselves don’t fully understand the signs. Moreover, there is no translation standard to learn. “We asked some foreigners to translate some pavilions (阁) in the Forbidden City. Their translations were all grammatically correct so we didn’t know which one to choose. If there was a standard to follow, it would be much easier,” said Xiong Yumei, deputy director of the Beijing Tourism Administration. To solve (解决) this problem, people in Beijing asked the government to set up a standard as soon as possible. Now the committee is organizing a group of experts (专家) both from home and abroad to set up and improve such standards. What’s more, the committee will work with other governments to improve English levels of the citizens. More English training programmes and activities will be offered to make people more interested in learning English. 36. How does the writer introduce road signs in paragraph 1? A. By telling a joke in Beijing. B. By showing an example in Beijing. C. By explaining a fact in Japan. D. By discussing a problem in Japan. 37. What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “standard”? A. 意见 B. 方法 C. 水平 D. 标准 38. The following all took part in correcting mistakes on road signs EXCEPT ________. A. local people B. tourists abroad C. foreign teachers D. Beijing government 39. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. What the mistakes on road signs are. B. Why the mistakes on road signs happen. C. Where the mistakes on road signs can be seen. D. How the mistakes on road signs can be solved. 40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. All road signs in Beijing prevented tourists knowing where they were. B. Foreign tourists didn’t know the fact that Beijing is an international city. C. Only some parts in Beijing were asked to check their English road signs. D. Many local people in Beijing helped correct signs by calling or emailing.

A. any other girls B. any other girl C. any girls D. any of the other girl 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：米莉比她班上的其它任何一个女孩都要好。any other其它任何的，后跟单数名词，排除A；any用在肯定句中是“任何的”意思，后面也要跟单数名词，C答案错误；D答案应是any of the other girls，故答案为B。 点睛：当所比较的双方属于同一范围内的时候，用any other排除自己，因为自己不能和自己比较。例如：Shanghai is bigger than any other city in China. 上海比中国其他的城市大。 如果比较的双方不属于同一范围内时候，则不存在和自己比较的情况，所以可以不用other， 例如：Shanghai is bigger than any city in Heilongjiang. 上海比黑龙江的任何城市都大。 14. —Hey, guys. Do you often have a good time ________ after-school activities? —Of course, we do. And we always have a lot of time ________ soccer.

In fact, trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair. This was because men, going through the Arctic (北极的) darkness, had discovered (发现) a yellow metal—gold. And because shipping and transportation companies were advertising the discovery, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles (肌肉) for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold. Buck lived at Judge Miller’s house in the sunny-kissed Santa Clara Valley. There were big stables (马厩), long grape fields, fruit gardens and a big swimming pool. Buck ruled over the whole kingdom. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. But he had saved himself by not becoming a mere house dog. He protected the Judge’s sons and daughters on long midnight or early morning walks. On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge’s feet in front of the warm library fire. He was king—King over everything, crawled (爬行的), walked, or flew at Judge Miller’s place, including humans. Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that Manuel, one of gardener’s helpers, was not to be trusted. Manuel loved to gamble (赌博). He believed he could win but he was doomed to failure. On the night of Manuel’s betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck go off through the fields. Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk. They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them. Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck’s neck. Buck accepted it quietly. To be sure, it was unwanted, but Buck had learned to trust men he knew. However, when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger’s hands, he barked. Then the rope tightened (收紧) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim (浑浊), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the baggage car. 31. Buck was a ________. A. judge B. dog C. gardener D. horse 32. Why were thousands of men rushing into the Northland? ________ A.

But by following signs saying “Forbidden City” and “Sino-Japanese” Hospital, visitors to Beijing may have a hard time finding their way to the Forbidden City and the China-Japan Hospital. “They guided people incorrectly. Some foreign tourists complained that some of these signs prevented them from knowing where they were. To make things worse, they forgot the fact that Beijing is an international city,” said Li Honghai at the Fourth Meeting of the Beijing Speaks English Programme Committee (委员会). At this meeting, correcting mistakes on road signs became the centre of the discussions. Last month, all areas in the capital were asked to check their English road signs. The checks mainly cover areas with many foreigners, such as scenic spots, transit routes, and large hotels. Besides Beijing municipal government citizens (市民) and foreign tourists also joined in the activity. “Many Beijingers phoned or emailed us the mistakes they had found. Their work helped us a lot,” said Zhang Mao, Vice Mayor of Beijing. Most mistakes are caused by poor translation (翻译). Sometimes the language workers themselves don’t fully understand the signs. Moreover, there is no translation standard to learn. “We asked some foreigners to translate some pavilions (阁) in the Forbidden City. Their translations were all grammatically correct so we didn’t know which one to choose. If there was a standard to follow, it would be much easier,” said Xiong Yumei, deputy director of the Beijing Tourism Administration. To solve (解决) this problem, people in Beijing asked the government to set up a standard as soon as possible. Now the committee is organizing a group of experts (专家) both from home and abroad to set up and improve such standards. What’s more, the committee will work with other governments to improve English levels of the citizens. More English training programmes and activities will be offered to make people more interested in learning English. 36. How does the writer introduce road signs in paragraph 1? A. By telling a joke in Beijing. B. By showing an example in Beijing. C. By explaining a fact in Japan. D. By discussing a problem in Japan. 37. What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “standard”? A. 意见 B. 方法 C. 水平 D. 标准 38. The following all took part in correcting mistakes on road signs EXCEPT ________. A. local people B. tourists abroad C. foreign teachers D. Beijing government 39. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. What the mistakes on road signs are. B.
