At 9 am on a Wednesday, Gaby Rountree waves goodbye to Mila as she is picked up to go to day care in Mexico City. "It has made her so independent, so friendly and so lovely with others," Ms Rountree says joyfully. She shuts the front door and turns to homeschooling her two children. For Mila is not a child, but the family dog.
Schools and nurseries have been shut in Mexico for a year owing to the pandemic. But doggy day care is booming. Doggy carers offer claw-trims and let beloved pets play outdoors. "Many clients now have a home office or are worried about their dogs becoming too attached to them," explains Montserrat, an owner of a dog day-care centre, as she strokes a tiny dog on her lap. The facility, in the rich neighbourhood, also has a camp where dogs can spend a relaxing weekend in the countryside.
Mexico's rising passion for dogs has coincided（同时发生）with falling human fertility. In the mid-1980s, a Mexican woman could expect to have four children; now, only two. In the long run, as people have grown richer and the returns to education have risen, families have shrunk. For some, a dog is a lovable substitute. The most devoted owners buy clothes and throw birthday parties for their dogs. Many restaurants welcome dogs and provide drinking water. Some restaurants even offer a full doggy menu. Parks have "doggy areas". Pet beauty salons provide not only baths and trims but massages and acupuncture, too.
Mexico's spoilt pets are probably enjoying the pandemic more than its locked-down kids. By one estimate, nearly two-thirds of the children have missed a year of school because of coronavirus. For mothers such as Ms Rountree, doggy day care offers some relief from covid-induced hard boring work. But she will not stop worrying until her children, too, are let off the chain and back into the classroom.
（1）What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
a is highly thought of by Ms Rountree.
B.Ms Rountree is a well-received online teacher.
a enjoys her day with other children at care center.
D.Ms Rountree's children are well taken care of at care center.
（2）What may be the reason for the doggy day care's popularity in Mexico?
A.Dogs like to play in the center.
B.Dogs are infected with pandemic.
C.School and nurseries are closed down.
D.Many citizens have to work at home.
（3）What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A.How Mexico becomes richer.
B.Why Mexicans love to raise dogs.
C.How Mexicans care for their dogs.
D.Why Mexico has a declining population.
（4）What's the present situation of the kids in Mexico?
A.They are about to return to school.
B.They are second to the dogs at home.
C.They have to attend their dogs at home.
D.Most of them are absent from school for a year.

A pair of Nike company running shoes from 1972 were sold for a record-breaking $ 437,500 in a public auction （拍卖）on Tuesday. The so-called Nike "Moon Shoe" was one of the first Nike shoes. They were designed for runners at the 1972 Olympic trials.
The sale was made at Sotheby's auction house in New York. Officials there said the price set a new record for a pair of sneakers. Canadian investor and car collector Miles Nadal bought the shoes. Nadal last week paid 190,373
in California in 2017. That was for a pair of signed Converse shoes that basketball star Michael Jordan reportedly wore in the 1984 Olympic finals, Sotheby's said.
Sotheby's is best known for selling art works for tens of millions of dollars. But it has been working with streetwear （街头服饰）marketplace Stadium Goods to auction 100 pairs of the rarest sneakers ever produced.
The handmade "Moon Shoe" was one of only 12 pairs ever made. The pair sold on Tuesday is the only ones known to exist in an unworn condition, Sotheby's said.
Nadal expressed excitement about his purchase. He called the "Moon Shoe" a "true historical artifact in sports history and pop culture". He said he plans to show them, along with his 99 other newly bought shoes,at his private automobile center in Toronto.
Noah Wunsch is the head of international e-Commerce at Sotheby's. He said the sneaker auction brought together art, culture and fashion. "We are eager to see where this sale takes us, not only in future sneaker offerings, but also in other new luxury lifestyle areas," Wunsch said.

"Tickets, please," I heard, as I stared blankly out of the window at the passing darkness. I
fumbled（摸）for my ticket and gave it to the guard when he approached. He stamped it, but then just stood there looking at me. I'd been crying, had red eyes and must have looked frightened.
"You okay?" he asked.
"Course I'm okay," I said. "And what's it got to do with you in any case?"
"You look awful," he said. "Is there anything I can do?"
"You could get lost and mind your own business," I said. "That'd be a big help." I wasn't in the mood for talking.
He must have read the danger signals in my body language and tone of voice, but he sat down opposite me anyway and continued to engage me.
"If there's a problem, I'm here to help. That's what I'm paid for."
Going through a mix of emotions at once: denial, anger, guilt, withdrawal, everything but acceptance. I was reaching a breaking point and he had placed himself in my line of fire. The only other thing I could think of to get rid of him was to tell him my story.
"Look, my mum's in hospital, dying, she won't survive the night...this train was going as far as Peterborough, but I would miss the connecting Leeds train by twenty minutes. I'm not sure how I'm going to get home. It's tonight or never, I won't get another chance, I'm a bit upset. I don't really feel like talking, I'd be grateful if you'd leave me alone. Okay?"
"Okay,"he said, finally getting up.

四、七选五（本题共计 1 小题，共计5分）
8. （5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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Reading for fun is one of life's greatest pleasures. There's nothing quite like sinking into an armchair with a beloved book and letting yourself be transported to the world of an imaginative character.
（1）________ In our busy, technology-filled lives, it can be hard to carve out the time to sit down with a book. Here are some tips on how to become a good reader.
Create a reading schedule.（2）________ Block out a period of time to dedicate to reading every day, even if it's just ten minutes. Choose a time that's stress-free. Read during a nice, quiet time. Enjoy a book with breakfast or as you're getting ready for bed. Prepare a snack you love to eat while you read. This will make you look forward to reading time!
（3）________ There's no reason to immediately force yourself to read War and Peace when you're trying to get into reading. Start with something that's easy and fun to read, regardless of its academic level. Pick up your old favorite kids book or choose a young adult novel, most of which are fast-paced, easy to read, and full of imaginative characters. Grab a favorite like Harry Potter, or some Roald Dahl classics like Mutilda or James and the Giant Peach to get started.
Experiment with different genres. Don't limit yourself to one genre. Alternating between genres such as fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, sci-fi, and history can keep you constantly engaged and excited about reading. Science fiction and fantasy are often great picks for people who don't love to read.（4）________ Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card and A Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams are two widely adored sci-fi classics.
Get rid of distractions. Reading takes a lot of concentration, and it's impossible to get into a book if you're constantly checking your email or Facebook or distracted by outside noise. Find a quiet place and remove technological distractions while you're reading.（5）________ Put your cell phone far enough away from you that you won't pick it up to check your social media.
A. Start small.
B. Choose a book.
C. They're fun, imaginative, and fast paced.
D. For some, however, reading can feel like a burden.
E. Like anything else, reading is an activity that gets easier with practice.
F. There are fantasy books, historical fiction books, realistic fiction books, and so many others.
G. Turn off your cell phone or put it on silent, unless you plan to use it to look up unfamiliar words.

Ten minutes later, he was back again. "Listen," he touched my arm, "when we get to Peterborough, shoot straight over to Platform One as quickly as you can. The Leeds train will be there." I looked at him dumbfounded. "Come again," I said, stupidly. "What do you mean? Is it late?" "No, it isn't late," he said, defensively, "I've just radioed Peterborough. They're going to hold the train up for you." Wild joy seized me and before I could say a word he waved and walked away.
I was at my mother's side when she died in the early hours of the morning. I finally made it to accompany my mum to the end of her life. Even now, I can't think of her without remembering the Good Conductor on that late-night train and, to this day, I won't hear a bad word said about British Rail. My meeting with the Good Conductor changed me from a selfish,
potentially violent youngster into an honorable man.
