(限时：30分钟)
Ⅰ.完形填空
I was late for the school bus and rushing to get ready. My dog, Tippy, got to the front door and lay down in front of it—his way of asking to be __1__. I ignored his begging for affection, hurdled over him and ran for the waiting bus.
However, that afternoon, when I came home, Mom said to me __2__， “Honey, I have some __3__ news that I need to tell you. This morning, while you were at school, Tippy was hit by a car and __4__. I'm so sorry.”
“No! It's not true！” I was in shock. I couldn't believe her. I waited for Tippy all night long, but he didn't come. Feeling lost, I __5__ into the living room. I didn't cry that night. I still couldn't believe that he was __6__．
When I got off the bus the next day, the silence at home was deafening. Finally, my sobs bubbled up and erupted like lava from a volcano. I couldn't stop __7__. I hadn't even petted him when I left. How could I have known that was my last chance? I cried until I felt empty inside.
Time passed, and against my will, I started to __8__ some things. I realized what little control any of us have over what happens to a dog. We can do everything right, but __9__ things can still happen. But good things can happen too. That's __10__. The best way to deal with the hard times is to __11__ what you need to do to get through them when they come, and to remember that hard times always __12__．
I now deeply understand the “circle of life”. Everyone is born, everyone __13__， and that's the way it is. If dogs never died, there would be no __14__ for others like Belle—my new dog.
Best of all, I realized that Tippy __15__ all of my good memories of him. And they come to me every time I call!

A
Chengdu, Sichuan—Her training as a ballet dancer has served Tian Yu well in her bid to be a top equestrian(骑手)．
“I have learned how to balance myself，” said the 16-year-old.
A member of the national youth equestrian team, Tian won a bronze in the jumping challenge at a youth event of the International Federation for Equestrian Sports in South Korea in April.
A month later, she won a gold in the jumping challenge at the International Equestrian Masters in the National Stadium in Beijing.
Tian is conspicuous (引人注意的) at events because there are not many woman equestrian athletes in the country—many parents do not want their daughters, mostly only children, to get involved and the practice is not covered by any insurance.
“To be an equestrian, a woman has to be strong, be patient and work harder than a male counterpart，” Tian said.
Because of her studies at the Beijing National Day School, a state-run middle school, Tian can only practice about twice a week after school. During summer and winter vacations, she practices in the Jingcheng Horse Club in Beijing's Daxing District every day, even on biting cold winter days. Last winter, the skin on the back of her hands cracked and became infected because of the cold, but she did not stop training. Even during the Spring Festival she only took one day off. Training can be repetitious and boring, and each day Tian has to ride between four and six horses.
She became interested in horses at the age of four when she visited a horse club in a Beijing suburb and with the help of a coach sat on a horse and rode. She started formal training at age eight.
Though she has rarely fallen, her worst accident was when she tumbled(翻动) while practicing on a course in Hebei Province. Lying on the field, she lost consciousness for about 20 seconds and bloodied her right hand. When she came to, instead of crying she stood up without the help of her coach, Ji Yuping.
“Unlike other girls, Tian is strong-minded，” Ji said. Equestrian athletes in the country do not receive much education. But Tian insists she should attend college and major in literature or English.
Despite frequent competitions, Tian has distinguished herself as a top student. The principal of her school allows Tian to finish her schoolwork and send it to teachers via the Internet when she is away for a competition.
“I like horse riding but won't make it my profession，” Tian said.
16．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A．Tian achieved a gold medal at the International Equestrian Masters. B．Tian won a bronze in the jumping challenge in Beijing. C．Tian has been interested in horses since the age of four.

B．Tian only practiced during her vacations.
C．Tian rested only one day during the Spring Festival.
D．Tian insisted on practice no matter what kind of situation it was. 19．What can we infer from the ninth paragraph? A．Tian was badly hurt. B．Tian lost consciousness.
C．Tian is very strong and brave. D．Tian's coach helped her.
20．What can we learn from the last paragraph but one? A．Tian's headmaster and teachers all support her. B．Tian often hands in her homework by the Internet. C．Tian finishes her homework by the Internet.
D．Tian can't finish her homework because of her competition.
