A heartbroken dog whose owner died two months ago is missing her so much that he attends services every day at the Italian church where her funeral was held, patiently waiting for her to return. Tommy, a seven-year-old dog, belonged to Maria Lochi, 57, and had been her faithful partner after she adopted him when she found him in fields close to her home. Mrs. Lochi adopted several dogs she found but friends said she developed a close friendship with Tommy and would walk to church with him every day, where he would be allowed to sit patiently by her feet. Father Panna said, “He’s there every time I celebrate Mass and is very well behaved. He doesn’t make a sound, and I’ve not heard one bark from him in all the time he has been in. He used to come with Maria and he was obviously devoted to her. I let him stay inside as he was always so well behaved and none of the other people ever complained to me. He’s still coming to Mass even after Maria’s funeral, he just sat there quietly. I didn’t have the heart to throw him out. I’ve just recently lost my own dog so I leave him there until Mass finishes and then I let him out.” Tommy’s been adopted by everyone in the village now and he is everybody’s friend. Everyone looks out for him and leaves food for him, although it would be nice to find a proper home for him. The story of Tommy is similar to the 2009 Hollywood film Hachi which told of how a faithful Akita dog waits patiently for his master after he also dies. It was based on the true story of a Japanese Akita called Hachi, whose owner died in 1925 but for the next nine years he waited patiently at the railway station for his owner from where they regularly caught a train. 21. The dog Tommy still goes to the church every day to ____________. A. attend his owner’s funeral B. wait for Lochi to come back C. stay together with Lochi D. celebrate Mass with Father Panna 22. According to the passage, Maris Lochi ____________. A. is an old woman who likes dogs B. is Father Panna’s wife C. is the owner of the Italian church D. is devoted to the Father Panna 23.What does the writer want to tell us by quoting what Father Panna said? A. Why the dog can stay in the church every day. B. How the dog came to Mass with Maria. C. What Father Panna usually does in the church. D. Where Father Panna allows the dog to stay. 24. What is the best title for the passage? A. A dog fond of Mass B. A faithful dog like Hachi C. A Hollywood film Hachi D. Maria Lochi’s story

How the Grand Canyon (大峡谷) was created remains one of the geology’s greatest mysteries. Some evidence suggests that the process was a gradual one in which the Colorado River (which runs through the canyon) slowly cut deeper and deeper into the ground over millions of years. But volcanic rock samples taken from the canyon now suggest that the canyon was down-cut instead. Down-cutting is when a flood of water rushes over a landscape (地形) with enough force to cut deeply into the ground and leaves behind a canyon. Such a flood is usually released when a natural or man-made dam (堤坝) bursts. Robert Webb, a research geologist, says natural dams seem to have formed and broken across the Colorado River several times during the last million years. The dams were built when lava(熔岩) from the eruptions of nearby volcanoes flowed into the river. The lava hardened into hard rocks and blocked the river, causing it to back up and form a lake. Each time the lake grew so huge that it broke the rock dam, releasing a flash flood that furthered the down-cutting process and deepened the canyon. Down-cutting is not just an earthly event. Satellite photos sent back from Mars suggest that the process has happened there, too, say many other researchers. The photos, taken by the Mars Global Surveyor, indicate that an enormous lake existed on Mars 3.5 billion years ago. The lake spilled into a large nearby hole. One edge of the hole broke, releasing a flash flood that quickly carved out a grand canyon. The existence of down-cutting on Mars is just one more piece of evidence that the cold, dry planet was once warm and wet. 32. In the past, deep canyons were believed to have formed _______. A. as a result of a sudden break of volcanoes B. due to river flows over millions of years C. owing to the burst of artificial dams D. thanks to our ancestors’ creative work 33. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE? A. Several volcanoes broke out on Mars directly creating grand canyons. B. Several great lakes existed on the upper parts of the Colorado River. C. People built high dams on the upper parts of the Colorado River. D. The Colorado River crossed the Grand Canyon to form down-cutting. 34. From the last three paragraphs we learn that _______. A. there are great lakes on Mars B. there are active volcanoes on Mars C. there might be cities on Mars D. there might be life on Mars 35. The passage can be titled as _______. A. Lakes on Earth and Mars B. The Cause of Lake Formation C. The Force of Dam Breaking D. Canyons—Results of Flood Cutting
