By July, almost every part of the country had been attacked (侵袭) by Cow Cold. In only two months, the number of dead cows has risen to 5,000. Though Cow Cold started in the south, the east of the country is the worst hit area. By this week, 80% of the farms in Osten State have reported cases of Cow Cold.The sale of milk in Osten State has slumped because of Cow Cold. Before Cow Cold, the sale of milk in Osten State was 2.5 million each week, now it is less than500,000.Odin state is the only area in the north without the case of Cow Cold.

Gareth has wanted to be a clown since we took him to the circus when he was three.”    When Alan lost his job, he and Kath decided to see if they could find full-time circus jobs. They both got jobs with a famous circus and Gareth began training to become a clown. He calls himself Bippo. They travel with the circus during the summer and return home for the winter. Gareth's brothers are old enough to look after the house while they are away.    “I can't say it was easy,”says Kath. “There was a lot to think about and organize. We only had a car and a very small caravan(拖车)to sleep in, and we were leaving behind our lovely house. The only thing Gareth missed was his long, hot baths.”“People ask about my education,” says Gareth, “but from the beginning, wherever we go, someone has always come to teach me. I follow the same books as everyone back at school and I've got a computer. I've never fallen behind my classmates.”    And the future? “It was a difficult decision,” says Kath,“but there was no other way to teach Gareth about being a clown. I'm happy to say it's working, and we're enjoying it.” And Gareth? “I'm going to be the main clown in a circus one day', he says, 'perhaps Bippo's circus.”22.

D.DPeople and dogs have been living together for hundreds of years. When did dogs and people become friends? Where did dogs come from? A group of scientists tired to answer there questions. They just finished a study about the history of dogs. In the study, they looked at the DNA of dogs all over the world and found that dogs, like humans, shared DNA with their family members. The scientists put together a big family tree for dogs. It went all the way back to the animals beginning.In this way, scientists learned about the history of dogs. The first dogs lived in Asia. They were born about 33,000 years ago. At first, there were only about 6,400 of them. Their parents were wolves(狼).The new study answers many questions. It raises some too. For example, what caused wolves in Asia to become dogs all those years ago?One idea is that their DNA slowly changed and the wolves became dogs in the end. As time goes by, dogs became “mans best friends” Or it could happen the other way around. It was possible that some wolves started living with people before they became dogs. Living with people led to many changes to these wolves. It changed their DNA, so their offsrping(后代) became dogs. In other words, it was possible that wolves were our friends before they became dogs.By studying DNA, scientists now have a much better understanding of the history of dogs. _.How exactly dogs came to be our friends is still unclear.27.

But we still know little about wolves historyC. Because weve learned about dogs friends.D. So they can explain when dogs became our friends.第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）下面文章中五五处（第31-35题）需要添加小标题。青从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中又一项是多余选项。A. Have fun B. Have change C. Have helpD. Price your goods E. Make yard sale signs F. Take Time to prepareFive tips for a successful yard saleEach summer, yard sales become popular and many people come to yard to get great deals on second-hand objects. Have you ever had a yard sale? What can you do to hold a successful yard sale? Here are five tips for you.31. _Every yard has its own advertisement. The best as is signs. Draw some big signs with just “Yard Sale” and a large arrow(箭头)on a board in front of your yard. Pointing customers(顾客) in the right way is always better than just putting your address on the sign and hoping they know how to get there.32. _The more organized you are, the less busy it will be in the morning of your yard sale. You want to make sure that you have everything set up before people arrive so you can have more time for answering questions and collecting money.33. _This is something a lot of people dont think about when preparing for a yard sale. You dont want to turn away customers because you dont have enough change. I suggest at least $50 in change, which means mostly $1s and $5s34. _Running a yard sale on your own can be really stressful, especially if you have a lot of objects to sell. Its hard to run inside to go to the bathroom or try to talk to and collect money from several customers at once. Ask a friend or two if they have something theyd like to sell too and that way youll have some help in case things get busy or you need a break to get a drink or some food.35. _Yard sales are fun and you can make a good amount of money. Its also a good chance for you to chat with your customers, make them feel comfortable, and enjoy yourself.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分25分）Nevado Del Ruiz is a mountain in Colombia. It is 5,425 meters high and it is popular with climbers.
