9、 the River”.第二部分：阅读理解 （共两节，满分40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30 分） A When Debbie Parkhurst choked on a piece of apple at her Maryland home, her dog jumped in,landing hard on her chest and forcing the piece of apple to pop out of her throat. Debbie Parkhursts husband, Kevin, was at his job at a Wilmington, De

10、l.,chemical firm when she took a midday break from jewelry and bit into an apple. When the Keesling family of Indiana were about to be overcome by carbon monoxide(CO), their cat clawed(抓) at wife Cathys hair until she woke up and called for help.For their timely acts, Toby, a golden 2 1/2-year-old d

11、og, and Winnie, a gray-eyed American shorthair, were named Dog and Cat of the Year by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.Neither Parkhurst nor Keesling could explain their pets timely heroics,though Parkhurst suggested it might have been guided by God intervention(干预). “Th

12、ats what our veterinarian(兽医) said,” she said. “He wasnt making a joke; hes very spiritual, and now I have to agree with him.” But both pets were themselves rescued in baby, Toby as a 4-week-old baby thrown into a garbage bin to die, and Winnie as a week-old orphan hiding under a barn, so helpless t

13、hat Keeslings husband, Eric, had to feed her milk.As the Keeslings recalled it, a gas-driven pump spread carbon monoxide through the house. By the time Winnie moved into rescue spot, the couples 14-year-old son, Michael, was already unconscious. “Winnie jumped on the bed and was clawing at me, with

14、a kind of angry noise,” Cathy Keesling said. “When I woke up I felt like a T-bar had hit me across the head.”State police and officers responding to her 911 call said the family was only minutes from death, judging by the amount of poisonous gas in the house.21.

17、 love me love my animals B. all pets are useful to peopleC. we cant never be too careful in our daily life D. to help others sometimes can get rewardBWhen students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice,

18、 people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students. Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings

19、 who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it ca

20、me from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society. Music provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same phenome

21、non. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all. The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are

22、the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themsel

23、ves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more necess

24、ary than people seem to realize. 25. According to Paragraph 1, students _. A. regard music as a way of entertainmentB. disagree with their parents on education C. view music as an overlooked subjectD. prefer the arts to science 26.

25、ith rock musicB. show music identifies a society C. introduce American musical traditionsD. prove music influences peoples lifestyles 27. According to the passage, the arts and science_. A. approach the world from different anglesB. explore different phenomena of the world C express peoples feelings

26、 in different waysD. explain what it means to be human differently 28. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Music education deserves more attention.B. Music should be of top education priority. C. Music is an effective communication tool.D. Music education makes students more imaginative. C Dogs

27、 and millionaires have a lot in common. They are absolute opportunists (especially when it comes to rewards). They defend their territory (地盘). And in general, they dont like cats. Perhaps that explains a new survey showing that millionaires are far more dog-friendly than the rest of Americans. Acco

28、rding to a study by Spectrem Group, 58% of millionaire pet owners have a dog. Only 37% own a cat. Only 3% keep fish, 2% birds and 2% have a horse. Similarly, 39% of U. S. households own a dog, compared to 33% of households owning a cat, released by the Humane Society. Jennifer Cona, a trust and esta

29、tes attorney (信托和资产律师) and partner with Genser Subow Genser & Cona in New York, does a lot of work on pet trusts. She said of all the pet trusts shes worked on, 90% are for dogs and only 10% are for cats. She said dogs provide one thing especially important for the wealthy: unconditional love. “You

30、dont get that from a cat,” she said, “Dogs are like children for some families, except that they dont mess up in college or run off with money. Sometimes its easy to see why dogs are the favorite children.” Millionaires show their love for their dogs in part by their spending. One quarter of million

31、aire pet owners spend more than $1, 000 a year on their pets, the Spectrem study said, while more than half spend more than $500 a year. Many would say those numbers are understated, given all the diamond-dog collars, dog foods and booming dog spas in evidence these days, not to mention the medical

32、bills. The survey showed 34% of pet owners spend money on decorating, while 6% spend on “sweaters, outfits and costumes.” More than half of millionaire pet owners spend money on teeth cleaning for their pets. More than 16%, meanwhile, said they would spend money on reconstructive surgeries and “anti
