A
When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West, you often see a lot of people walking dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, the reason why people keep a dog has changed. In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks by other beasts. And later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dogs would not eat what was caught without permission.
But now people in the city need not protect themselves against attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friend to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.
1．According to the passage, in the old days people trained dogs ________.
A．for protection against robbery
B．just for fun
C．for companionship
D．for protection against other animals

Without the atmosphere there would be no weather, no wind, rain, snow, or clouds. Air is all around us; we live at the bottom of a great ocean of air. It is invisible, but we can feel it when it moves. There are miles of air above us, pressing down with great weight on the earth and everything on it. Because air presses down on us from all directions at the same time, and because we are able to bear(忍受) this weight, we do not seem to feel it. But scientists have proved that air has this weight, and that anything that has weight creates(产生) a force called pressure. As changes in air pressure take place, they make air move.
Air is a gas that expands(膨胀) when heated, gets lighter, and moves upward. When air is cooled, it gets heavier, sinks close to the earth's surface, and flows like water in a great river. As warm air rises, cold air rushes in to take its place. Thus winds originate(起源). The winds that blow high above us are caused by the warmer air running away from colder air. The wind we feel near the earth's surface is the heavy colder air trying hard to catch the warmer air. Changes in temperature cause the air to move. And of course there are many changes, so air movements are taking place practically all the time.
1．The first paragraph mainly tells us the causes of ________.
A．why we don't feel air
B．why atmosphere is important to us
C．why there is air surrounding us
D．why there is air pressure
2．Air moves under such conditions that ________.
A．there is air pressure
B．the air is heavy
C．air pressure doesn't remain the same all the time
D．air comes up and down
3．According to the passage, in some areas if farmers who grow grapes(葡萄) light fires in the early morning, that is because the farmers want to ________.
A．drive away warm air
B．prevent cold air from coming to harm their plants
C．cause more wind
D．stop warm air running away

六、书面表达： Changes in People's Diet
This table shows that there were great changes in people's diet from 1994 to 1998. The amount of grain they ate fell year by year, and at the same time they increased their consumption of milk and meat.
There were two main reasons for these changes. First, people were better off and could afford more expensive food with better nutrition. Second, more and more people began to pay attention to the quality of their diet. They believe eating in a scientific way did good to their health.
These changes in people's diet show that their living conditions improved greatly between 1994 and 1998. We are sure that they will live a happier and healthier life.
