Years ago while lying in my hammock（吊床）and drinking JD from the bottle, I noticed my dog dragging something under the fence. Upon inspection, to my disappointment, I realized it was the next door neighbor’s 10 – year – old daughter’s rabbit. For years I had watched her come home from school and head straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard. I knew that day would be no different and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast.
The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it, combed it with the dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower. Upon finishing its grooming I jumped the fence and replaced it back in its cage hoping its death would be written off as “natural caused”.
Back to the hammock and JD. Within the hour the neighbor’s Volvo pulled in as usual and out popped the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage. Only this time she stopped about six feet away and screamed: “D—A—D—D—Y!!!”.
Her father, panic stricken, stood looking at the cage. Being the good neighbor that I am, I rushed to fence and asked if there was anything I could do.
Her father less than calmly shouted, “What kind of sick individual would dig up a little girl’s rabbit and put it back in its cage?”
小题1:The girl was shocked because .| A．the rabbit was killed by someone | | B．the rabbit was too clean | | C．the dead rabbit was cleaned and put back into the cage | | D．the rabbit was asleep in the cage |
小题2:That day the girl ran to the cage .| A．because her rabbit was there | | B．because she had a habit of going there to see her rabbit | | C．because she wanted to see her rabbit again | | D．because the rabbit was dead |

When they saw a monkey 46 with their pots, they all 47 their arms and shouted, "Shoo! Shoo!" Then they picked up stones and began to 48 the monkey with them. The monkey was so 49 that he gave one jump to the nearest 50 , and swung himself up to the top of the tree.

JK Rowling, the Harry Potter author, has signed a deal with Little, Brown and Company, to publish her first ever novel for adults, which is set to become one of the most anticipated (期望的) book in years.
The deal means that Rowling’s long-standing relationship with Bloomsbury, the London-based publisher that launched (发行) the Harry Potter books, has come to an end, at least in terms of new works by the author.
Rowling is keeping her fans guessing about the characters and plot of her new book. She only said that the new novel will be nothing like the Harry Potter series, which was sold over 30 million copies in the UK alone. She thought that with the move from children’s to adult fiction, a switch to a new publisher seemed like a natural and reasonable step.
She said, "Although I"ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, this book will be very different from the Harry Potter series. The freedom to explore a new field is a gift that Harry’s success has brought me."
Ian Rankin, the Edinburgh-based author whose highly-successful detective novels are also set in the city, suggested Rowling’s book will be a crime novel.
"Wouldn’t it be funny if JK Rowling’s first novel for adults turned out to be a crime story set in Edinburgh?" he said.
Industry insiders guessed that the deal is worth more than ￡5 million and the new book is expected to come out later this year.
A spokesman said, "JK Rowling’s audience is vast and her position is unique. Harry Potter books were a global success and her fans are very loyal. Children that were eight, nine, or ten when the books first came out in the 1990s are now in their 20s. Plenty of adults, loved the books regardless of whether they had children, so the potential market for her is huge."

小题3:The author used Ian Rankin’s words in order to .| A．tell us that some famous novelists offer to give Rowling some advice | | B．show that many readers are curious about Rowling’s new book | | C．tell us that many readers prefer to read detective or crime novels | | D．prove that a crime story set in Edinburgh is sure to be successful |
小题4:We can learn from the text that .| A．Little, Brown and Company is specialized in publishing adult books | | B．the author has no doubt about the success of Rowling’s new book | | C．JK Rowling will be a crime novelist as good as Ian Rankin | | D．it was in Edinburgh that Ian Rankin got to know JK Rowling |

The International Space Station allows astronauts to live in space for extended amounts of time, enabling them to explore the outside universe and conduct many experiments. However, nothing like that exists for our oceans, and thanks to the high water pressure, ocean researchers are able to explore what lies undersea for very short periods of time.
They are therefore never able to fully explore the deep inside areas of our oceans. However, if French architect Jacques Rougerie has his way, that will change soon.
Jacqucs has designed a ship that will allow researchers to spend a long period of time observing the sea life and conducting experiments. The huge 167ft ship, named "Sea Orbiter", consists of two areas—one above the water where the scientists and crew will live, and a lower pressurized deck (甲板), where scientists will be able to spend as much time as they wish. Since it is powered by sea currents and wind, he expects it to drift (漂流) along the oceans slowly, taking about two years to circumvent the globe.
Jacques will make their life as comfortable as possible in the ship. Besides being equipped with the latest sailing tools and communication equipment, the ship will also have a gym, a television and a DVD player. And these guys will not be eating freeze-dried food like astronauts. Instead, Jacques, an accomplished chef, plans on cooking them delicious meals every day.
The biggest problem to this giant ship is the cost, which is expected to be over $500 million—per ship! However, Jacques, who strongly believes that the secrets of our oceans may be the key to solving global warming and a vital supply for food and medicine in the future, is confident he will be able to convince governments all over the world to help out, and expects to start construction on not one, but four or five of these amazing ships soon!
小题1:Why can’t ocean researchers explore the deep oceans for a long time?| A．Because they can’t stand the high water pressure. | | B．Because it’s too cold in deep ocean. | | C．Because time for experiments is too limited. | | D．Because it’s dangerous to observe the sea life. |
小题2:The underlined word "circumvent" probably means .| A．fly away | B．get around | C．travel through | D．move into |
小题3:From the fourth paragraph we can learn that .| A．Jacques intends to design the ship mainly for sightseeing and traveling | | B．living a comfortable life helps to do the ocean research quickly | | C．it’s much more expensive to eat freeze-dried food | | D．researchers on Jacque’s ship will live more comfortably than astronauts |
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the text?| A．Sea Orbiter—the ship of the future | | B．A new way to explore the deep oceans | | C．A great architect—Jacques Rougerie | | D．Travel around the globe in Sea Orbiter |
