So三、阅读理解(每小题3分，共60分)AI lay on the bed trying to put on my favorite pair of pants, pulling and dragging, but the zipper wouldn’t close. Angrily I threw them to the back of the closet. I found a long large skirt, tied it around my middle, and then joined my husband downstairs. I caught sight of myself in the halfway mirror—I didn’t like the person I saw. The weight kept climbing higher each year.The problem was that I hated the word “diet”. To me it meant my keeping off every good thing I loved. Later that summer, I found myself out of breath when I climbed two flights of stairs and my heart started beating heavily. I saw my doctor and she told me that I needed to bring down my blood pressure. “Easy for her to say,” I thought when I drove back home. Up ahead I saw a McDonald’s. I pulled in. The doctor’s warning couldn’t resist the pull of McDonald’s food. Thenext morning I stepped on the scale and weighed more than I had ever had in my life.Just at the very moment, my thoughts were finally clear. To check the weight I needed to control my choices. Several days later, I went to my favorite restaurant for lunch—I only chose Chinese chicken salad. I felt great when I left the restaurant carrying a take-home box filled with half of that huge salad. But most of all, I discovered I had control over my choices.The weight came off slowly, but after a while it made no progress. Eating a light meal a couple of nights a week would help, but that meant I would prepare two separate dinners, for I would have to continue to make my husband his favorite meals, who supported my weight loss goal.Dusting off the old two—wheel vehicle in the garage, I added exercise by pedaling for 30 minutes after dinner. A year later I lost 25 pounds and my blood pressure was normal. I tried on my favorite pants again. They fit perfectly.36. Why did the author throw her favorite pants to the back of the closet?A. Because they were too big.B. Because her husband didn’t like them.C. Because they didn’t match her shoes..D. Because they were too tight for her to wear.37. On the way back from the doctor’s, the author .A. climbed two flights of stairsB. had her blood pressure testedC. had a meal at McDonaldD. weighed herself on a scale38. From the passage we can know that .A. the author lives with her childrenB. the author had much experience in losing weightC. the author’s husband had the same meal with her every dayD. the author’s effort to lose weight turned out to be successfulBThe Rockford police chief and some city officials want to install(安装) video cameras in all 100 police cars. They think this will reduce the number of lawsuits(法律诉讼). In the last five years, Rockford has paid out more than five million dollars to settle about 40 lawsuits.The chief said, “If cameras had been in those cars. we wouldn’t have had to pay one cent. We’re always pulling over drunks or drug users who try to fight the police or shoot them. Thenthey always claim(声称) that the police start beating them first or start shooting at them first. ”The cost of installing cameras will be about $500 each. The city council(委员会) will vote on the proposal(提议) next Monday. Ten of the 13 council members said that they like the idea. One member said that it makes good sense.The police officers enthusiastically support camera use. One officer said that too many people think the police often lie; cameras would show citizens that police tell the truth. “The money that we’ve been spending on lawsuits will be better spent on more cameras,” said one officer.Citizen opinions to the idea of police car cameras are mixed. One person, said that the police should have started doing this years ago when video cameras were invented. But an elderly man strongly objected. “These police are trying to stick their nose into everything, ” he said. He was going to attend the council meeting to condemn the proposal. He hoped that other citizens would join him.39. We can learn from what the chief said that with cameras on .A. the police will not be treated unjustlyB. the police will be free from any lawsuitsC. the police can beat the law-breakers firstD. the police can monitor everything around40. What’s the purpose of installing video cameras in police cars?A. To pay less money on lawsuitsB. To cut the number of lawsuits.C. To prevent lawsuits from happeningD. To stop being beaten by law-breakers41. Which group of people support camera use most?A. Council membersB. Police officersC. Local peopleD. Drug users42. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. Most citizens support camera use in police carsB. The police are trying to take control of everythingC. The man showed great disagreement on camera use in police cars.D. Other citizens will join the man to object to camera use in police cars.CI learned to play on a piano purchased at Grinnell Brothers in Detroit. My brothers and sisters were taking lessons and I begged to play, too. “You’re too young,” I heard over and over. But when I began playing my sister’s lessons by heart from hearing her practice, they let me begin.I was 4. What joy and comfort I found at those keys. If I had a rough day at school, I played ragtime(一种流行音乐) hard and loud until my frustration(挫折) was gone, then I calmed myself with Mozart until I was ready to face the world.When I lost my first child, and the day my dad was diagnosed with cancer, I played until I nearly dropped. There was a comfort in those keys.That piano followed me everywhere. I moved seven times and it came with me each time. I taught hundreds of children and adults on the keys of my own piano in Taylor for over ten years. I lost my home to a fire in 1998. My piano was destroyed. I felt as though I lost my oldest friend.The insurance supplied the money to purchase another. My two children used to play, but they are married and gone. My mother asked me every time she spoke to me, “Did you get another piano yet?”, even when she struggled to call me by name. After she died in 1999, I received an envelope containing a gift certificate(礼劵) to Hammell Music for a piano. Mother made sure that I would get another piano, Knowing I wouldn’t do it for myself.And so I purchased a Yamaha baby grand. Nearby hangs Mom and Dad’s portrait. I play every day when I come home from work. I imagine my folks are in heaven listening, smiling, knowing that their thousands of dollars in lessons are still being used. Every song is for them and the joy goes on.And although I miss my first piano, the new one is a reminder that old things pass away and new life begins.43.

Compared with Mozart, ragtime might be some kind of music that makes peopleA. calmB. sadC. delightedD. disappointed45.

But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?Here are some tips from Dr. Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia.1. Laceration(裂口)The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration. 51 A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep. However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention,2. Fingertips cut offSome injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery(外科手术) to repair.52 More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful.3. Bleeding53 Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous(静脉的) bleeding. This means the blood flows steadily from the injury. The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound. In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to five minutes would do. But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial(动脉的) bleeding. 54 .Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection. Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water. 55Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage.A. How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is.B. That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip.C. This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible.D. The first signs of this disease include difficulty opening the mouth.E. Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty.F. With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood.G. The length is usually not as important as the depth.第II卷主观卷（共35分）四、短文改错(10分)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文，文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处，每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除和修改。

There’s nothing shocking for our chatting. We seldom begin certain conversations though we talk on the phone weekly, sometimes making each other laugh so hard that I choke and she cries. But what we don't say could fill up rooms. Fights with my father. Small failures in school. Anything that really upsets us.My mother has never told me “I love you, Lisa.”—as if the four word absence explains who I am—so I carry it with me, like a label on me. The last time she almost spoke the words was two years ago, when she called to tell me a friend had been in hospital. I said, “I love you, Mom.” She stopped for a while and then said, “Thank you.” I haven't said it since, but I’ve wondered why my mother doesn’t until I've found a poem that supplies words for the blank spaces I try to understand in our conversations:Don’t fill upon bread. I say absent-mindedly. The servings here are huge.My son, middle aged, says: Did you really just say that to me?What he doesn’t know is that when we're walking together I desire to reach for his hand.It’s humble, yet heartbreaking, After copying it down in my journal, I emailed it to mom, adding “This poem makes me think of you” My mother doesn’t read poetry—or at least, she doesn’t tell me, and I felt nervous clicking “Send”.She never mentioned the poem. But the next time I went home for vacation, I noticed something new in the kitchen fixed to an antique board: then poem. The hoard hung above the heater, the warmest spot in the kitchen. The poems still hangs there. Neither my mother nor l have ever spoken about it.4. What's the function of paragraph 1?A. To stress the theme.B. To represent the characters.C. To establish the setting.D. To create the atmosphere.5. Which of the following best describes the mother daughter relationship?A. Shaky.B. Reserved.C. Distant.D. Intense.6. Why did the author send the poem to her mom?A. It suited mom's taste of literature.B. She wanted to apologize to mom.C. It reminded her of mom's love.D. She needed an interpretation from mom.7. What does the poem mean to mom?A. A memory of golden days.B. Daughter's gratefulness to her.C. A decoration in the plain kitchen.D. Daughter's understanding of her.CAmong my friends, one topic seems to dominate our conversations: bones .It makes sense, given that 20 percent of American women over 50 have osteoporosis(骨质疏松) and that more than half have bone loss. For men, the figures are lower: 4 percent and a third. Worldwide, one out of three women over 50 and one out of five older men will develop a fracture(骨折). Another reason for the endless argument about bone problems is mass confusion over how best to strengthen your bones and whether diet really makes a difference.Diet research is always messy, and study results on nutrition and bone health haven't been consistent. But gradually some clarity is emerging. As we draw up resolutions for what to eat, it's useful to look at new data on vitamin D. Calcium is the key clement for building bones, and. vitamin D helps to absorb calcium from the food we cat, so doctors often recommend D supplements(补充剂) to make up forage-related bone loss.But a recent study found that taking D supplements for five years did not reduce the rate of fractures in seniors. That result built on earlier findings, led by the same team, that these supplements do not improve bone density(密度) . “Food and sun exposure likely provide enough vitamin D for healthy adults,” says Meryl LeBoff, whole d the study.What does help maintain strong bones for all of us? The easy answer is food high in calcium, such as milk and tofu. Getting it from food is best, LeBoff says, “because there are so many other nutrients(营养物质), and you have a more continuous absorption than with D supplements.”The other key element of bone health involves calories out rather than calories in. Weight-bearing exercise stimulates bone formation throughout life. So while focusing on better nutritional choices, add more exercise to your daily menu.8. What do the statistics in paragraph 1 emphasize?A. The concern about senior citizens.B. The seriousness of bone problems.C. The confusion about strengthening bones.D. The importance of having a balanced diet.9. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2imply?A. Diet research is no longer a challenge.B. We've made resolutions to study diets.C. Findings on bone health prove to be similar.D. We begin to agree on ways to keep bones healthy.10. What can be inferred from the recent study?A. People can absorb vitamin Din food easily.B. The findings go against LeBoffs earlier ones.C. D supplements playa minor role than expected.D. Fractures are linked with weight-bearing exercise.11. What is a suitable title for the text?A. The magic of D supplementsB. Your bones cry!C.A recipe for better bonesD. Vitamin D wins!DIn conversations with strangers, people commonly tend to think they should speak less than half the conversation time to be likable. But we've discovered this idea is wrong. Our data shows that people tend to think they should speak about 45% of the time to be likable in a one-on-one conversation with someone new. However, it appears speaking up a bit more is actually a better strategy.In our research, we randomly assigned people to speak for 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% of the time in a conversation with someone new. We found that the more they spoke, the more they were liked by their new partners. This was only one study with 116 participants, but the outcome is supported by other researchers' findings. For example, a previous study randomly assigned one in a pair to take on the role of “speaker” and the other to take on the role of “listener.” After engaging in 12-minute interactions, listeners liked speakers more than speakers liked listeners because listeners felt more similar to speakers than speakers did to listeners. This outcome suggests the reason people prefer those who speak up: Learning more about a new partner can make you feel like you have more in common with him or her.Further, we assigned people to speak for up to 70% and even 90% of the time. The result shows it is not an ideal strategy. Our research does not suggest people hold down a conversational partner but rather that they feel comfortable speaking up more than they usually might.Research like our scan help people gain a ‘more reasonable understanding of social interactions with new people and become more confident about how to make a good first impression. It has the obvious benefit of allowing us to carefully control speaking time. However, it does not reflect more natural conversations. Future research should figure out whether our findings generalize to more natural interactions.12. What is the common belief concerning conversations with strangers?A. Speaking a little less is preferred.B. Speaking half the time is the best.C. Listeners are more likable than speakers.D. Listeners fail to control the conversations.13. How was the research carried out?A. By making comparisons.B. By analyzing speaking habits.C. By listing examples.D. By collecting data.14. What is the disadvantage of the research?A. The conversation time is limited.B. Further study is hard to continue.C. Interactions with strangers are missing.D. The findings are less widely app liable.15. In which situation can the research finding be applied?A. Attending a family gathering.B. Partying with your friends.C. Making a public speech.D. Meeting a new teacher.第二节(共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

However, I was physically uncoordinated because I was running too slowly. But for future college application, sport was a must. So I took up fencing (击剑) because I thought it required more strategy than athletic ability.Then I joined the school’s fencing team. My movements were clumsy compared to the seniors. One afternoon after a whole lesson’s failure, tears of frustration welled up in my eyes. One of my teammates approached me, “Could you tell me where your blade (剑) hit me?” She asked. I pointed to her right shoulder. She nodded and patted my stomach, “That’s where I hit you.” She had begun to walk away when I blurted out, “Want to practice together? Again?”We practiced until we both felt more confident. But it wasn’t just the two of us. All these girls were entirely willing to share their knowledge with everyone, helping each other to grow.That afternoon, I watched a senior fencer execute a flawless attack admiringly. Something inside me suddenly bloomed. I realized later that it was love for both fencing and the fencing team.During the city championship, I was selected to fence. My opponent was the best fencer on her school’s team. “Ready, fence.” The match began. Suddenly, my opponent’s blade hit me. The score was 1-0.At the moment I could hear my teammates shouting, “Keep distance!” And the team captain’s voice was clear and commanding, “Parry, then disengage!”Fencing, unlike academics, wasn’t something I could succeed in by myself—even during an individual match, my teammates were still giving me advice. Unathletic as I was, I was proud to be an athlete and a teammate.I saw my blade tip bury itself into my opponent’s shoulder and the judge signaling that it was my point. I could taste the sweat on my lips, which were breaking out into a smile.4. Why did the author start to learn fencing?A. Because she needed to train her coordination.B. Because she thought it would be easier for her.C. Because she could not succeed in any other sport.D. Because she wanted to enter the school fencing team.5. How did the girls improve their fencing skills?A. By observing flawless attacks.B. By practicing on their own.C. By offering guidance to each other.D. By competing with other teams.6. What distinguishes fencing from academics according to the author?A. Strong determination.B. Hard work.C. Athletic strategy.D. Team support.7. How did the author feel when she got her point?A. Unbeatable and respectful.B. Sweaty and ashamed.C. Energetic and secure.D. Proud and thankful.CWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students inAuckland,New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher.Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to come.The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy”— a free program forAucklandelementary schools.Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the nextgeneration. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.8. What was special for some elementary school students inAuckland?A. A digital teacher taught them.B. They first saw something digital.C. This was the start of a new school year.D. They could get close to smartphone screen.9. What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?A. It can smile back.B. It can use microphone.C. It can talk any topic for free.D. It can change if necessary.10. What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?A. Optimistic.B. Doubtful.C. Unclear.D. Disapproving.11. What might be the best title for the passage?A. New High-tech Contributes to EducationB. The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.C. The World’s First Digital Teacher, a Help to StudentsD.New ZealandWill Replace Teachers in ClassroomsDWhere do you find beauty? Fashion Magazines? Music Videos? One American photographer is finding beauty in unexpected places. And a new documentary about his work might help change the traditional standards of “who” is beautiful.Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences. He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino （白化病）girl.“I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but I was always toldwho was beautiful. As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So it was my initial intention that opened my eyes a little wider and wider.” Said Guidotti.Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public views and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.The cast and crew recently hosted a screening at Georgetown University in Washington. One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. “I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day he took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there's somebody who, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.” said Waithera.The documentary is the idea of producer Joanna Rudnick. After seeing Guidotti's photos, she decided to tell his story. Joanna and Guidotti are traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. “As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm encouraging individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also encouraging their families and they in turn are encouraging their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change how you see,see how you change.”12. What made Rick change his understanding of beauty?A. A girl diagnosed with albino.B. His job as a fashion photographer.C. The beauty on the covers of magazines.D. Influence from the people working with him.13. What can we infer about Jayne Waithera?A. She showed great interest in taking photos.B. She used to be disappointed at her work and life.C. She was greatly influenced by the experience with Rick.D. She believed Rick was the best photographer in the world.14. Which of the following words can best describe On Beauty?A. abstract and differentB. traditional and academicC. tolerant and encouragingD. creative and interesting15. What's the best title of the text?A. True Beauty In The Eye Of A PhotographerB. Beautiful Or Not Beautiful,That's A QuestionC. Be Who You Are Not Who You Want To BeD.

Even though the US economy is still decreasing at the moment, about half of American adults say they will give money to charities this holiday, an increase from 29 percent in 2010. Even though giving is increasing, there is still a large amount of unmet need to help people in the US and those abroad. With the click-and-buy convenience of the Internet, it has never been easier to donate. Here is a charitable gift guide with fun and practical presents for almost every kind of person and cause.◆The artistTen Thousand V illages is an organization that promotes handmade artworks form all over the world. Founded in 1946, the organization started out of a car trunk and has expanded to more than 390 stores in the United States. If you don’t live close to one of the company’s stores, you can also find a diverse selection of goods online, including stone boxes under $40 and vases around $65.◆The school supporterIf you want the power to select the project you want to support, giving money to DonorsChoose. Org will let you do just that. In return, you can receive a cost report that shows how the money will be spent so you can know for sure that your donation is going to the right place. If you give more than $100 , you can receive handwritten thank-you notes from the classroom you helped.◆The cancer fighterCancer is the leading cause of death by disease among US children under age 14, according to the National Cancer Institute. All the profits from goods purchased from the annual “ Hope GiftBook” will be given to St. Jude Hospital,a children’s cancer research center. Parents can find unique tools for kids such a dog-shaped pencil sharpener for under $25.60．Ten Thousand V illages is an organization ________.A．which aims at selling American artworksB．which has a history of over six decadesC．whose online shops offer more choicesD．whose stores have spread all over the world61．From the passage we know that .A．people donating to DonorsChoose. org are informed where their money goesB．Americans buying charitable gifts can all decide what project they want to support.C．fewer Americans will donate this holiday because of poor economic conditions.D．anyone choosing to be a school supporter can get a note of appreciation.62．It is suggested in the last paragraph that _______.A．cancer is the No.1 killer to children in AmericaB．Hope Gift Book is a monthly activity in AmericaC．dog-shaped pencil sharpeners are parents’ favorite choice for childrenD．St. Jude Hospital is a center researching into childhood cancers63．This text is written mainly to______.A．show how to choose proper holiday giftsB．recommend good gifts at reasonable pricesC．suggest a nice way of holiday gift givingD．introduce a channel to receive kind donationsCIf you’ve met and exchanged contact information with your child’s teacher or volunteered to become the class parent, you’re on hour way to becoming an engaged parent—the kind of adult education researchers say, who helps children to be the best they can be in school.Now, more than 20 states are about to make your role as an engaged parent a lot more important. Parents whose children attend a failing school can band together. If 51 percent of them sign a petition(请愿书), they can demand, and the district must provide, a new set of administrators to run the school. Parents have become the hottest players in education reform. It’s an encouraging development.Over the last 15 years, parents were first invited—and now, in many places, are required ---to participate in cho osing what school their children will attend. It’s a great idea, but imperfect and time-consuming. Some wealthy parents register their children in private schools, where the admission process is often much easier and class size is smaller. Many low-income parents are finding better options for their children . But many are not, especially those less good at workingthe system. However, when researchers studied the school choice process in Harford, they found that schools with the highest levels of parental satisfaction were often ones with the lowest levels of academic achievement and things were the same all over the country.Giving parents the power may prove to be an important turning point in education reform. We need to supply parents with training programs to help them know, for example, what should be expected from a parent-teacher conference and how to make sure that elementary, middle and high school curriculums are preparing students for college. Otherwise, the next big thing in education--- parent power—is going to hurt our children, instead of helping them. 64．According to the text, engaged parents _____．A．urge children to finish homework B．train children to live independently C．help children do their best at school D．teach children to mind their manners65．It can be known from the text that_______.A．schools satisfying parents most don’t necessarily produce academically best studentsB．wealthy parents choose private schools just because of their easier admission process C．parents have been the hottest players in education reform in the past 15 yearsD．low-income parents generally make wrong decisions on school choosing66．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A. Choosing schools for children B．Calling for school reformC．Preparing children for college D．Putting parents in chargeDFor many people , Fido and Fluffy are more than just pets. They’re true and equal members of the family. And it’s not hard to see why. Our pets greet us at the door after a long day of work or settle in our laps while we’re watching TV. They provide companionship and even a sense of comfort. We like to believe that our pets are good for us, that they enrich our lives and make us happier, and messages in media and advertising strengthen these beliefs. But is there really a universal “ pet effect” on human mental and physical health?According to Harold Herzog, Professor of Psychology at the Western Carolina University, there simply isn’t s trong evidence showing that living with a pet makes for a happier, healthier or longer life. In a new article, to be published in the August issue of Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, Herzog argues that existing research on pet ownership has produced very conflicting results. While some studies suggest that owning a pet is associated with positive health outcomes like reduced rates of depression ( 抑郁症)or lower blood pressure, other studies suggest that pet owners are no better off and may even be worse off in some ways, than people who don’t own pets. The reason for these, Herzog says, is that studies on pet ownership often suffer from problems, such as lack of appropriate control groups (控制组)and reliance on self-report to measure participants’ health andwell-being.Herzog admits that he himself is a pet owner and pet lover. “I’ m not trying to denigrate (贬低)the role of animals in human life. I’m trying to do just the opposite,”he says. “It’s entirely reasonable that our pets really do provide medical and psycholog ical benefits, but we just don’t know how strong that effect is and what types of people it works for”. Herzog notes that Americans with Disabilities Act had to be changed in order to clarify the fact that only trained dogs and small horses that perform a specific service function could legally qualify as service animals.Herzog points our that the scientific community is starting to take these issues seriously,. In2008, the National Institutes of Health began a program to fund studies that examine the medical and psychological benefits of pets on children Herzog is encouraged that psychological scientists are really becoming involved in this research: “I think in five years we’re going to have some answers to our questions”.67．Why does the author mention the question in paragraph I?A．To introduce the topic for discussion.B．To compare different ideas.C．To describe people’s opinions of petsD．To express the author’s doubts.68．What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A．Pet owners.
