请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I stole your dog today. No, I didn't set a foot on your house, but from the condition of your dog, I can imagine what it looks like... The word" rubbish" comes to mind.
I found her along a road, with a heavy chain wrapped around her neck, still attached to rotten boards from her doghouse. Not only did I know that most of the town people had already ignored her, judging by the place where I found her, but I knew that if she had gotten into the woods, the "cross" that she dragged(拖) behind her would have wrapped itself around a tree until starvation or thirst killed her.
She has a beautiful name now. Already in the first week she has come to look more like she should. Her eyes sparkle and she has learned to wag（摇）her tail in greeting. She has stopped flinching( 畏缩 )when I make a sudden movement, because she knows now that I won' t beat her. In fact, she rarely leaves my side. She's even become brave enough to bark at a cat and today I looked out of the window as she attempted to play with other dogs. No, it’s clear that she does not miss you or her former life on a chain.
It' s not clear yet whether she'll remain here or whether I'll find her a loving home where she can count on more individual attention than I can give her, but one thing is certain, this is a bit of stolen" property" which is never returning to you. So sue（起诉）me, accuse me, plead with the court that she is rightfully yours... I' m convinced that this is the best" crime" I've ever committed. Hardly anything has pleased me more than the day when I stole your dog. I need only look into her beautiful brown eyes to know that she'd defend my decision with her life. If we have one prayer, it is that you will not replace her, and if we have one special day to celebrate together, it is the day I stole your dog and the day she stole my heart.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feeling can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm, reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. But still other people control their anger. They cannot or will not express it.
For years many doctors thought that controlling one’s anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain lets out the same hormones that are produced during tense situations. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, and narrow the blood vessels. In general, the person feels excited and ready to act.
Doctors said that controlling these feelings only makes the feelings continue. And this can lead to many medical problems. Doctors thought a person could prevent these problems by letting the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors held a different view. They said that people who express anger too often and violently did become, in fact, more and not less angry. They said this, too, can cause medical problems.
Some doctors say that both controlling and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”
60. Which of the following is the more recent view about the expression of anger?
A. It is dangerous both to express anger violently and to control one’s anger.
B. One can avoid his medical problems by expressing his anger freely.
C. One’s heart rate will not change if his anger is kept unexpressed.
D. One is likely to suffer from high blood pressure in a bit of great anger.
61. When you get angry, which of the following should you do for the sake of health?
A. Controlling your anger and then studying its cause.
B. Letting out your anger freely and then studying its cause.
C. Studying its cause and waiting till it cools down.
D. Waiting till it has cooled down and then studying its cause.
62. Which of the following can best replace the title of the passage?
A. Different Ways of Dealing with Anger
B. The Danger of Anger and Its Solution
C. New Medical Discoveries about Anger
D. An Argument between the New and Old Views about Anger
C
Pacing and Pausing
Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve's new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.
Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there's no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I'm finished or fail to take your turn when I'm finished. That's what was happening with Betty and Sara.
It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.
The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定式). And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in --- and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.
That's why slight differences in conversational style --- tiny little things like microseconds of pause --- can have a great effect on one's life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems --- even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.
63. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?
A. Betty was talkative.
B. Betty was an interrupter.
C. Betty did not take her turn.
D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.
64. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?
A. Americans.
B. Israelis.
C. The British.
D. The Finns.
65. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing
B. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US
C. one's inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes
D. one should receive training to build up one's confidence
66. The underlined word "assertiveness" in the last paragraph probably means ______.
A. being willing to speak one's mind
B. being able to increase one's power
C. being ready to make one's own judgment D. being quick to express one's ideas confidently
D
Books are not Nadia Konyk’s thing. Her mother, hoping to attract her, brings them home from the library, but Nadia rarely shows an interest. Instead, like so many other teenagers, Nadia, 15, is addicted to the Internet. She regularly spends at least six hours a day in front of the computer.
Nadia checks her e-mail and reads careful through myyearbook.com, a social networking site, reading messages or posting updates on her mood. She searches from music videos on youtube.com and logs onto gaiaonline.com, a role-playing site where members exchange identities as cartoon characters. But she spends most of her time on quizilla.com or fanfiction.net, reading and commenting on stories written by other users and based on books, television shows or movies.
Her mother, Deborah Konyk, would prefer that Nadia read books for a change. But at this point, Ms. Konyk said, “I’m just pleased that she reads something anyway.”
Children like Nadia lie at the heart of a passionate（狂热的）debate about just what it means to read in the digital age. As teenagers’ scores on standardized reading tests have declined, some argue that the hours spent surfing the Internet is the enemy of reading ?reducing literacy, destroying attention spans and a valuable common culture that exists only through the reading of books.
qBut others say the Internet has created a new kind of reading, one that schools and society should not discount. The Web inspires a teenager like Nadia, who might otherwise spend most of his leisure time watching television, to read and write.
Even talented book readers like Zachary Sims, 18, of Old Greenwich, Conn., carve the ability to quickly find different points of view on a subject and talk with others online. Some children with dyslexia（诵读困难）or other learning difficulties, like Hunter Gaudet, 16, of Somers, Conn., have found it far more comfortable to search and read online.
67. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means ____________.
A. Nadia prefers not to be a writer
B. Nadia doesn’t like to buy books
C. Nadia treats reading books as a piece of cake
D. Nadia shows no interest in reading books
68. To act as a character, Konyk will log onto _______________.
A. gaiaonline.com B. youtube.com
C. quizilla.com
D. myyearbook.com
69. The example given in the last paragraph are used to prove _________.
A. reading online is the enemy of reading books
B. reading online may cause difficulty in learning
C. it is convenient and comfortable to read online
D. there is no pleasure to enjoy reading online
70. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Are you tired of reading books in the information society?
B. Do you like reading books?
C. What does reading mean in the digital age?
D. Are you reading online?
