Dogs are living longer. Twenty years ago, people considered

or older. Dogs live 25 percent longer now than they did then!
The main cause for this change is that dogs eat better food.
In the 1970s, more people began treating dogs as members
of their families. People spent more money to keep their dogs
well. Then, other things began to change. Dog-food companies

Section A (3passages) (22%)
Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you
have just read.
For the past few weeks, the case of two innocent women arrested by police has been the
lead story in all the newspapers and on TV news broadcasts.
As a bus shopping centre, tow women, Ms. Brown, 30, and Ms. Austin, 29, were sitting in
their parked car in front of the main entrance to a department store. All of a sudden,
their car was sandwiched by two vehicles, stopping them from leaving. About eight
men with guns jumped out and forced them to open their car doors. It was only later
that the women found out that they were actually plainclothes police officers.
In an complaint made against the Police Department, the women claimed they were
roughed up by the police. They said that the police hit their car, smashed a window,
then slapped（掌掴) their faces and accused them of hiding drugs. They were finally
taken to the police station.
According to police spokesperson Roger Hardy, it was simply a case of mistaken identity
and the police had not slapped the women. They might have accidentally pushed the
women and he apologized for their actions. However, the women still plan to take legal
action.
When asked why they didn’t open their car doors, the women said that the men did not
look like police officers. They were thinking that the men were going to rob them, or
even worse, hurt them.
