26、
When I took Amy home from the animal shelter, she was scared. I believed she had been abused (虐待) because she was afraid of anything my husband, Bill, or I held in our hands. With a lot of care and attention, she became a great dog that surprised us every day.
About three years ago, Amy and I joined a volunteer project called Canines with Class. At our first school visit, Officer Lisa called Amy and asked her to show how to shake hands and give a high five. The students clapped (拍手) in joy and Amy received a reward. Then the students got to touch the dog. One by one they came up to meet Amy. Some of them started talking to me about their own pets. I didn’t feel worried any more. I thought the children liked staying with us.
On our next school visit, I put a big chain (链条) on Amy’s neck and walked away from her. You could see that Amy was not happy. When I took the chain off her neck, Amy shook her tail happily and wouldn’t stop licking (舔) my face. That was when we talked about “breaking the chain”. On our third school trip, Amy started acting poorly when it was time to show off a few tricks. The students watched to see how I would correct her mistakes. It was a good chance to explain that if your dog doesn’t do exactly what you ask, you don’t have to shout at her or hit her to make it right. I think the children have learned a lot about respect and patience.
Amy loves the program and has come so far since I found her a few years ago. Amy has broken the chain, and the love she gives those children will help them become good pet owners.

27、Zheng Kelu, the Chinese translator of French masterpieces by Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, Stendhal and Simone Beauvoir, died aged 81 on Sept 20. In his six-decade career, Zheng translated around 60 French literature and social science works, and published 11 monographs and 10 textbooks. Thanks to his endeavors, Chinese readers were able to appreciate many classic French works of literature including Les Miserables, La Traviata and Le Comte de Monte-Cristo.
Zheng Kelu was fond of Russian and French literature since high school and later studied French at Peking University from 1957. During the “cultural revolution” (1966-76), he spent more than a year reciting the French-Chinese dictionary, because it was the only learning material available. He was then able to read original French works.
In his translation, he dared to use rarely used Chinese characters in a hope to make his readers turn to the dictionary and therefore expand their knowledge and vocabulary.
In Zheng’s view, translating practice helped to improve his French language capability, while doing research inspired him on selecting literature works to be translated. Benefiting from his research, he attached great importance to the preface (前言) of his translation so as to help the readers learn about highlights and historical value of the works, and the authors’ writing techniques and motives. He said in an interview with Shanghai Observer in November that the key to a quality translation lies in how to deal with sentence patterns, especially relative clauses that don’t exist in the Chinese language. He emphasized polishing language use and concluded his translating style as brief and fluent while being literarily graceful.
【1】What does the underlined word “endeavors” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．translations.
B．efforts.
C．masterpieces.
D．recommendations.
【2】What made Zheng Kelu be able to read original French works?
A．The “cultural revolution”.
B．His fond of French literature.
C．The French-Cinese dictionaries.
D．His past learning experience.
【3】Which words can best describe Zheng Kelu?
A．Careful and friendly.
B．Proud but brave.
C．Determined and ambitious.
D．Strict but generous.
【4】What can be inferred from Zheng’s view?
A．Rarely used Chinese characters must be used.
B．It is helpful to present historical value of the works.
C．It is important for the translation to be complicated.
D．Relative clauses have no effect on a quality translation.
28、As we all know, it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of the Independence. He wrote it in two weeks, and after a few changes, it was accepted by the Congress. As a result, he became famous.
Born in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a brilliant student at school and almost talented lawyer later, was much interested in politics.
Jefferson was elected Governor of Virginia in 1779, and he was sent to France as the representative of the American government in 1784. Sixteen years later, at the age of 57, he was elected president after Washington and Adams.
Far from a handsome man, he was tall with long arms and big hands. Jefferson, who was an amusing talker in conversation but a poor speaker, was generally good-natured.
Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom on America. As a president, he protected the right of free speech. Interestingly enough, in his eight years as President, Jefferson never vetoed a bill which Congress had passed. He did a lot in organizing the new University of Virginia.
Thomas Jefferson died on July the fourth, 1826, the 50th anniversary of American Independence.

29、 The idea that “knowledge is wealth” is not a new one. However, this idea is being put into use in a creative way in public libraries across Japan. In 2010, the country’s public library, Shimonoseki City Library in Yamaguchi Prefecture first carried out “reading bankbooks”in order to encourage people to read more.
In each reading bankbook, the titles of the books that people have read are listed. The dates when the books are borrowed and are supposed to return are also included. Besides, the price of each book readers have read is also listed. This emphasizes the idea that knowledge is valuable. It also gives readers a sense of achievement for what they have read for free.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A new analysis of the running habits of over a million people showed that exercise is contagious — though this depends on who's spreading it.
For the study, two scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology used 【1】 tracker data to study the running habits of around 1.1 million people, who have around 3.4 million social network connections. Over five years, the 【2】 ran a collective 350 million kilometers, and their runs were posted online for their friends to see.
The researchers found an additional kilometer run by friends influences an individual to run an additional 0.3 kilometers. An additional kilometer per minute run by friends 【3】 a person to run an additional 0.3 kilometers per minute faster than usual. And if those friends run an extra 10 minutes, that person is likely to run about three minutes longer than they would have. The influencing effect is strongest on the same day 【4】 are posted and appears to diminish with time, the authors wrote.
The findings suggested that a runner's peers did influence him or her to run more, but not all users exerted 【5】 influence on their buddies. Individuals were more likely to be encouraged by less active peers than by more active ones.
"Social comparisons may provide an explanation for these results," the study's authors wrote. This theory, they added, "【6】 that we self-evaluate by comparing ourselves to others."
But do we make comparisons to peers performing better than us, or to those performing worse? That's been a subject of 【7】, the researchers said.
Comparisons to those ahead of us may 【8】 our own self-improvement, while comparisons to those behind us may create competitive behavior to protect one's superiority.
The findings show how effective 【9】 these real-time networks may be to help scientists design different methods to minimize the impact of social ills and maximize the 【10】 of social benefits.
