Wolves, the wild ancestors of domestic dogs, also became pack-hunters, so the modern dog has much more in common with the human male than with the human female.
The argument will always go on—feline self-sufficiency and individualism against canine camaraderie(同志之情) and good-fellowship. But it is important to stress that in making a valid point I have caricatured(凸显) the two positions. In reality there are many people who enjoy equally the company of both cats and dogs. And all of us, or nearly all of us, have both feline and canine elements in our personalities. We have moods when we want to be alone and thoughtful, and other times when we wish to be in the center of a crowded, noisy room. 65. The primary purpose of the passage is to __________________________________.
A. advocate dogs as making better pets than cats B. distinguish the different characteristics of dogs and cats
C. show the poor nature of dogs because of their loyalty characteristics D. emphasize the role that human plays in the personalities of domestic pets
66. According to the passage, the domestic cat is a contradiction because __________________.
A. it possesses the physical characteristics of both feline and human B. it can?t be tamed and will always keep its wild habits
C. it refuses to be dominated despite living comfortably with human D. although it plays the part of a pet, it really dominates human beings
67. The underlined sentences in the second paragraph are used to stress _________________. A. the disharmonious relationship between cats and human beings B. a difference between cats and dogs that emphasizes cats? nature C. the ignorance of dogs, which makes them more loyal pets
D. the laziness of cats that keeps them from being pack animals A. less dependent
B. less creative
C. more successful
D. more out-going
68. The author suggests in the third paragraph that cat-lovers are ___________ than dog-lovers. 69. The fourth paragraph indicates that human females ______________________________. A. preferred to raise domestic dogs to help with food-gathering B. developed independent roles that required less group behavior C. had to gather food because they were not strong enough to hunt D. were negatively affected by the division of labor of human societies
70. The underlined four sentences in the last paragraph provide ________________________. A. a summary of the points made earlier B. a reason for the statements made earlier C. an adjustment of the position taken earlier D. an example of the main points made earlier

Feet of Clay
In 604 BC, the second year of his reign, Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream which left his spirit no rest and robbed him of his sleep. So he ordered that wise men of Babylon be called to interpret the dream for him.
They answered the king, “O king, live forever, tell to your servants your dream, and we will declare the interpretation.” The king said, “The thing is gone out of my mind. Unless you tell me the dream, and the meaning of it, you shall be put to death. But if you tell the dream, and the meaning of it, you shall receive of me rewards, and gifts, and great honour.”
Unluckily no one could fulfill the task. Hearing this, the king was in great anger, and commanded all the wise men of Babylon be put to death.
When Arioch, to whom the king had given orders to destroy the wise men of Babylon, told the matter to the Prophet(先知) Daniel, he immediately went in to the king and begged for the time to resolve the question.
After some mysterious praying, Daniel went to Arioch and said, “Destroy not the wise men of Babylon, bring me in before the king, and I will tell the solution to the king.”
The king said to Daniel, “Can you really tell me the dream that I saw, and the interpretation of it?” Daniel replied, “The secret that the king desires to know, none of the wise men, or the philosophers, can declare to the king. But there is a God in heaven that reveals mysteries, and He wants you to know what is going to happen”. “To me also,” Daniel added, “this secret is revealed, so I can reveal your dream.”
Then Daniel began, “You, O king, saw a great statue: this statue, which was great and high, stood before you, and the look was terrible. The head of this statue was of fine gold, but the breast and the arms of silver, and the belly and the thighs of brass(黄铜): And the legs of iron, the feet part of iron and part of clay. Then suddenly you saw a stone was cut out of a mountain without hands, and it struck the statue upon the feet that were of iron and of clay, and broke them in pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and they were carried away by the wind. There was no place found for them, but the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.”
“This is the dream. We will also tell the interpretation to you.” He continued, “You are a king of kings, and the God of heaven has given you a kingdom. But as you dreamt, the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

That means you will not rule forever. The other parts of the statue represent other kings that will come after you. The big rock stands for the kingdom God will set up. It will destroy all other kingdoms and it will last forever!”
Then king Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that wise men of Babylon be pardoned from death. And the king made Daniel governor over all the provinces of Babylon, a much higher position than his former one. Feet of Clay Story Outline The climax The ___73___ The conflict The beginning ?

Dear Uncle，
I am a senior three students who is facing great difficulty in English learning. My problem mostly lies on the learning and memorizing of English words.
You know, in order to achieve a good score in the College Entrance English Examination, we are supposed to have a vocabulary of around 3500 English words. However, it seems impossible for me to remember all of them, even half of them.
Every week, we have to learn around 10 new words and review 20 words from our textbook. To help us, my teacher Miss Li usually first explains the meaning and usages of them in class. Then, I will spend a lot of time trying to memorize my notes taken in class. What troubles me is that I am always slower than most of my classmates who seem never to fail the next day?s dictation given by the teacher to test our vocabulary mastery. Instead, I have been a frequent visitor to her re-dictation room. Watching her worried and tired face, I always think to myself, “Why am I so stupid as to trouble both her and me so much?” Or rather, there is something wrong with my strategies and the way my teacher helps me?
I know you are good at English learning. Hope you can rescue me.
Best regards! Weifang [写作内容]

六．作文 Dear Xiaofang In your letter, you talked about your difficulty in English vocabulary learning and asked me for help. You also described your learning methods and how your teacher helped you, both in class and after class.
You are not stupid at all. The problem lies in your method. Memorization, which you adopt, is not the sole solution. For a word to really become a part of your vocabulary, you?d better see more about how it is used in more reading and listening. Besides, don?t forget to use it in your speaking and writing whenever you have chances. The more frequently you see it and use it, the better it can be remembered.
As to how your teacher helps you, I think she also should make a change. For example, introduce and consolidate the target words in a rich context and allow you more time for practice in class, in stead of endless explanation and dictation.
Hope my opinion will be of some help to you.
