21、 “dog”People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well._9_However，dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life.The expression，to lead a dogs life，describes a person who has an unhappy existence.Some people say we live in a dogeatdog world._10_ They say that to be

22、 successful，a person has to work like a dog.This means they have to work very，very hard.Such hard work can make people dogtired.And，the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog._11_This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life.To be successful，peopl

24、 dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want.Mean dogs are often used to guard this property.They bark or attack people who try to enter the property.However，sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad.We say his bark is worse than his bite.

25、Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather.The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year.A rainstorm may cool the weather.But we do not want it to rain too hard._13_AStill，people say every dog has its day.BWe do not want it to rain cats and dogs.CSome people are compared to dogs

26、 in bad ways.DDogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people.EThere are many other expressions waiting for you to explore.FThat means many people are competing for the same things，like good jobs.GThey take their dogs for walks，let them play outside and give them good food and medical care.

27、【语篇解读】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些与dog相关的俗语。9G根据空格前一句内容可知，美国人喜爱而且善待狗，故选G项，即举例说明美国人的待狗之道。此题易错选D项。狗的忠诚与上下文毫无关系。10F根据篇章结构，每提出一个新的俗语，下文便有文字对前面的俗语进行解释。故此处选用作解释的内容最为合适。故选F项。11A空格后的内容正是对选项的解释，故选A项。12C根据空格后一句，那些不友好、不关心他人的人通常被描述成meaner than a junkyard dog可知，本段应该是用dog的短语来比喻不好的人。故选C项。13B根据空格前提到的rain可知，只有B项与此有关。.阅读下面材料，在空白

28、处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。Although it could not compete with the speed of email today，the 1800s experienced a revolution in communication that played an important role in creating the tradition of the Christmas greeting card._14_(help) by the new railway system，the public postal service made corresp

30、ndon，_18_ soon others followed suit.An English _19_(art)，William Egley，produced a popular card in 1849.Louis Prang，a Germanborn printer，working from _20_ shop in Massachusetts，printed his first American cards in 1875.Even more _21_(importance) than his printing was the fact _22_ he did more than any

31、one else to popularize the cards by instituting nationwide contests for the best Christmas designs，_23_ were awarded cash prizes.【语篇解读】虽然不能与今天的电子邮件的速度相比，但经历了19世纪的通信革命后，圣诞贺卡成为节日问候的传统方式。14Helped主语the public postal service与help之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词。15a此处泛指“一种更高效的邮政服务”，因此用不定冠词a。16tosend sth to sb 意为“把某物寄给

32、某人”，为固定搭配。17was designed根据by及句意可知用被动语态；叙述过去的事用一般过去时。18and两句之间为顺承关系，所以用and连接。19artist从后面的同位语William Egley及前面的an可知应填与art有关的人，即artist。20his从后面的his first American cards可知答案。21important根据even more.than及句意可知此处用形容词。22that同位语从句中不缺成分，故用that作引导词。23which根据句意及句子结构可知用which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词designs，并在从句中作主语。.书面表达假如
