三、阅读理解  (本题共10小题;每小题2分，满分20分)

(A)

In America, when people say "man's best friend", they don't mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal—a dog! These words show the friendship（友谊）between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people's lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!

Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the "eyes" for a blind person（盲人）or "ears" for a deaf（耳聋）person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, they bring animals into hospitals for "visits".

Americans hold "Be Kind to Animals Week" in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don't live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food.

If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, just leave it alone, or make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to animals, try to speak up. As people, we must protect（保护）animals who can't speak for themselves.

   For years and years people have been saying that railways are dead. "We can do without railways, "people say﹣as if cars and planes have made railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, lose money and are dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days of expensive oil, railways have become highly ________ with cars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they're cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn't stop you as a car does on crowded roads. And no plane or car can ever carry as many goods as one train does. Far from being dead, railways are much alive. Modern railway lines give you a comfortable journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep comfortably, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at the same time? And we are only the beginning, for we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, which are traveling 150miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on highways and planes we can't fly in because we don't have enough money to buy the oil.

A.they are cheaper and more convenient.

B.there aren't any planes or cars.

五、阅读表达 （本题共3小题; 第1小题1分，第2、3小题各2分，满分5分）

The Internet has become not only a necessary but also a false world for people. With the development of the Internet, Internet friendship has also become very popular. Online friends are those people who have known each other through the Internet. Making Internet friends is the same as making pen friends. Many famous websites provide very warm Internet friendship. One can find many people on these websites and they share the same interests. It is difficult to make friends with someone you can't see or feel. That is the main problem of Internet friendship. A virtual（虚拟的）friendship would not last forever without seeing each other, but it is an advantage for some people because they are afraid to speak in public.
On the other hand, the chances of cheating（欺骗）are very high in an Internet friendship. Some people make friends on the Internet with wrong ideas. So while making friends over the Internet, one has to be very careful. Here is some advice for you.
• Don't give personal information, such as your telephone number, address, location, school name as well as your parents' information to strangers on the Internet.
• Do not exchange personal photos of you or any family member with people you meet over the Internet.
• Do not go to meet a person you have just met over the Internet. You'd better ask older or other experienced people for help if you want to go to meet an Internet friend.
• Do not accept someone's request if you feel he or she is not honest.
