Unit 2 Poems.阅读理解AIt was days or even weeks since I had been left on the island. My only companion was a dog called Philly which had survived the shipwreck. Memories of what happened were still fresh.The magnificence of the ship had given us all a false sense of security. As the first signs of the storm started, our captain announced it was nothing much, just another storm. Yet, he was wrong! The storm hit the ship so badly that large holes were made at the sides of the ship. As the freezing water started rushing in, our ship was consumed quickly by the dark water.My train of thought was disturbed by Philly licking my hand dearly. Are you hungry? I spoke my first words ever since the shipwreck occurred. Woof, woof! Barked Philly enthusiastically. At this moment, my stomach gave a loud growl, too. I could not remember when my last meal was, probably a ten-course dinner on the ship. As I had never fished before, I thought maybe I could try something simpler, like picking fruits. With Philly at my side, armed with a sharp branch, we walked into the forest on the island together. Suddenly I thought I heard noises. Could there be anyone else on this island? I wondered. As we were looking for fruit trees, we chanced upon one that bore yellow, juicy-looking fruit. Philly started barking-we had company. It was a dark-skinned woman, holding a sharp spear, dressed in fur and grass. I backed away from her, afraid that she would be aggressive. Then, I saw that she was trying to save us. Pointing her spear at the fruit tree, she shook her head strongly.I nodded at her to show I understood what she was saying. Signaling to us to follow her, she turned to walk along a small path that I had never noticed. At the end of the small path, there was a small village. Tears of joy filled my eyes.1. Why had the writer been left on the island?A. Because the captain had deserted him.B. Because he wanted to explore the island.C. Because his ship had crashed in the storm.D. Because his ship had broken down in the shallow water.2. What can we know about the dog Philly?A. He was friendly but aggressive.B. He was also a survival of the shipwreck.C. He was badly hurt in the shipwreck.D. He was left alone while the writer went for food.3. How did the writer deal with his hunger?A. He went fishing on the sea.B. He told Philly to find food for him.C. He got some food from his ship.D. He went into the forest to pick fruits.4. Why did the woman point her spear at the fruit tree?A. the fruits were not the best choice.B. the fruits were unfit for food.C. he was forbidden to pick the fruits.D. the fruit tree was dangerous.BEveryone knows that if a dogs ears are up and its tail is wagging vigorously, it is definitely pleased to see you. but now scientists using a robot have found that the way dogs use their tails is more complicated than we thought, and that dogs which wag them to the left may be more friendly. The animal psychologists discovered that when real dogs approached a life-sized robot dog, they were less cautious about it when it was wagging its tail to the left, while if it was wagging its tail to the right, far fewer dogs approached it in a confident manner.In the first experiments, 56 percent of the animals approached the model without hesitation when the tail was wagged to the left, while only 21 percent did so in the other situation. When the researchers excluded(排除)owners from being present, the result were: 31 percent of the dogs approached continuously when the tail was wagging to the left, while only 18 percent did so when it was on the right.Animal psychologist Roger Mugford said it added to the growing evidence that dogs were even more complicated communicators than the animals more closely related to man such as monkeys. He said, “We know that dogs, in a sense, have languages, but it is more complicated because it is not just them wagging their tails, but also giving out chemical displays.”He adds, “The research confirms earlier studies suggesting that dogs, like humans, had a left-side preference. If you are going to present a signal to a dog, it is sensible to put it on your left-hand side because that is where dogs, unlike most other animals, tend to look. It is another example of the similarity between dogs and humans. They are a lot more human than we give them credit for.”5. What does it tell us if a dog wags its tail to the right?A. It was very energetic.B. It was in a good mood.C. It might be unfriendly.D. It must be confident.6. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?A. Few dogs approached the robot dog confidently.B. More dogs approached the robot without their owners present.C. Some dogs lacked confidence with their owners present.D. Dog owners may influence the behaviour of their dogs.7. What can we learn from animal psychologists experiments?A. Dogs can communicate more than human beings.B. Dogs have more complicated emotions than monkeys.C. Dogs tail-wagging conveys more information than previously believed.D. Dogs intelligence can be much higher than any other kind of animal.8. What do Roger Mugfords words mean?A. The Left-side preference should be studied further.B. Dogs have more in common with humans than we think.C. No other animals show the left-side preference except dogs.D. Dogs have a more complicated language than we people do.完形填空In a tiny room, Jenny was lying in bed waiting for an operation, nervous and worried. 1, another patient was squeezed in.

Unfortunate, I had an accident and hit another car, and I needed to stay in a hospital for at least two week. I called my parents, so I did not tell them what had happened. I knew that they will be worried about myself because I was so farther away, and that my mother would not sleep if she knew. Therefore, I told them interested stories and how I was enjoying Brazil. As a result, nobody knew truth. I still think that it was the right thing to do. 书面表达假定你是李华，你的美国网友Tom因身材瘦小经常受到同学们的欺凌(bully)，这令他感到非常苦恼。请你用英语给他写封邮件，主要内容包括：1. 表示安慰；2. 进行劝解；3. 给出建议。注意：1. 词数100左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3. 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。Dear Tom,Im worried about your being bullied by your classmates._Yours,Li Hua.阅读理解A【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。讲述的是作者在沉船后流落在一个岛上，在他想从树林中的一棵树上摘果子充饥时被一名当地女子拿着矛阻止，原来这种果子不能吃。然后那名女子带他去了一个当地的村落。 3.
