13、Cats’ sense of smell is very important to their health. Many cat o wners have seen a cat smell the food and refuses it. Careful sniffing( 嗅) tells the cat if something is safe to eat.
Cats have a pair of vomeronasal organs(犁鼻器) on the roof of the mouth. When the cat wants to sniff，she will breathe the air in through her mouth. At this moment，she will often squint(斜视) her eyes and maybe even flatten(使…平坦) her ears. This makes her look like she is making faces. The vomeronasal organs will then analyze(分析)the
smell---almost as if the cat is tasting the smell.
When you come home from outside the house，your cat can smell what you had for lunch and for a mid-afternoon snack. She can smell the people you shook hands with and your neighbour you stopped to talk to and hug. She can smell the grass brought under your shoes as you t ook a shortcut across the lawn. Y our cat’s sense of smell is so good that she can smell difference between a gallon of water with a teaspoon of salt in it and plain water. In comparison，we think of salt as completely tasteless.
Cats have scent glands(臭腺) on each side of the forehead，on the chin，the lips and next to the tail. When your cat
rubs up against your hand，your leg，the sofa，and your bed，she is leaving her scent in those things. She will then use her sense of smell to recognize “her” things，people and even other pets in the home.
If you want to have fun with your cat’s sense of smell，take some small bits of different things，such as a bit of chicken，some flowers and some fish. Place each different scent under a piece of paper towel(so your cat cannot see any of them) and encourage your cat to investigate and find what kind of food she likes to eat best.
1．Cats know whether the food is fit to eat or not with their____________.
A．sense of touch B．scent glands
C．organs of smell D．sense of taste
2．The third paragraph was written mainly to prove that _____________.
A．cats are very smart
B．cats have a good sense as dogs
C．salty water has a special smell
D．cats’ sense of smell is excellent
3．What does your cat do when it rubs against your foot?
A．She puts her scent on it.
B．She shows respect to you.
C．She asks you to play with her.
D．She smells where you were just now.
4．What does the word “investigate” mean in the last paragraph?
A．Smell. B．See. C．Look. D．Send.
5．The passage mainly tells us _________________.
A．cats are one of our best friends
B．cats have sharp sense of smell
C．sense of smell is very important
D．cats know if something is safe to eat
B
14、
Car-hailing company DiDi signed an agreement with TAL Education Group to provide free online courses for the children of taxi drivers. The courses, worth 30 million yuan, cover all subjects from primary to high school. Children can study courses at home, saving parents’ time to spend or pick up children from off-line after-school classes. According to Zhu Jingshi, vice president of DiDi, all 153 million registered (注册) taxi drivers of DiDi can ask for the courses on the company’s mobile app. The car-hailing company will evaluate (评价) the drivers and provide courses on the basis of the time they became registered drivers with the company, the number of passengers served and evaluation from passengers.
The health and education of children have remained top priorities of Chinese parents, including taxi drivers. A survey done by DiDi and TAL showed that although the average monthly income (平均月收入) of taxi drivers is only 6000 yuan, many would like to pay 40 percent of their income for their children’s education.
The survey found that most taxi drivers were born in the 1970s and 1980s and worked seven days a week. More than 70 percent of them have children under 18 but very few have time to be with family and children. Only 8 percent of them said they had guided their children in doing homework. Because of these, 60 percent of drivers hope their children could receive the guidance from professional services.
1．The online courses would help taxi drivers ________ for their children’s education.
A．find good schools B．get better teachers
C．save time and money D．save time

B．the taxi drivers working hard day and night
C．the free online courses for taxi drivers’ children
D．the taxi drivers care their children’s education very much.

15、One night, a little before nine o’clock, Dr Johnson answered a telephone call. He was asked to go and give an operation to a very sick boy at once. The boy was in a small hospital in Glens Falls, sixty miles away from Dr Johnson’s city – Albany. The boy had hurt himself in a traffic accident and he was in danger, but his family was so poor that they could not pay the doctor anything. After hearing all this, Dr Johnson decided to save the boy. Soon, he drove his car and he thought that he could get to t he hospital before 12 o’clock. A few minutes later, the doctor’s car had to stop for a red light at a crossing. Suddenly a man in an old black coat opened the door of the car and got in.
“Drive on”, he said. “I’ve got a gun..”
“I’m a doctor,” said Johnson,“I’m on my way to a hospital to operate on a very sick…”
“Don’t talk,” said the man in the old black coat, “Just drive.”
A mile out of the town, he ordered the doctor to stop the car and get out. Then the man drove on down the road. The doctor stood for a moment in the snow. After half an hour, Dr Johnson found a telephone and called a taxi. At the railway station he learned that the next train to Glens Falls would not leave until 12 o’clock.
It was after two o’clock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Glens Falls. Miss Clarke, a nurse, was waiting for him.
“I did my best,” said Dr Johnson. Miss Clarke said, “The boy died an hour ago.”

16、The journey began this morning almost an hour later than I had planned, although I had completed my packing before eight o’clock. I was quite clear about the fact that once I left, my house would stand empty for the first time since the day it was built. It was a strange feeling and perhaps explains why I was leaving so late. I walked around the house many times over, checking to see that all was in order.
It is hard to explain my feelings once I did finally set off. As I drove further and further from the house, I found everything looked unfamiliar(不熟悉的) to me. I began to have a feeling of nervousness mixed with excitement. I took a turning and found myself on a road circling the edge of a hill. I could sense the steep(陡峭的) drop to my left. I felt a sense of alarm that I was perhaps not on the correct road at all, but speeding off in the wrong direction. It was only the feeling of a moment, but it caused me to slow down. And even when I was sure I was on the right road, I thought I had to stop the car for a moment to think carefully.
I stopped my car and walked out of it. On the one side of the road, small trees grew closely together, while on the other I could now see the countryside far away and a town nearby.
I waked a little way along the roadside, when I heard a voice behind me. Until this point I had believed myself quite alone and I turned in some surprise. Sitting on the large stone was a thin, white-haired man. He called to me again and gave me a sign to join him. For a moment, I took him for a homeless man, but then I saw he was just some local man enjoying the fresh air and summer sunshine.
1．Why did the writer set off later than planned?
A．Because he checked the house again and again.
B．Because he was feeling sad about leaving the house.
C．Because packing his backpack took longer than expected.
D．Because there was no one to help him get everything ready.
2．What caused the writer to start driving more slowly?
A．He wanted to look at the beautiful hill carefully.
B．He suddenly feared that he might get lost.
C．The road became steeper and steeper.
D．He realized he was driving too fast.
3．What can we infer about the white-haired man?
A．He was surprised to see the writer. B．He greatly enjoyed being alone.
C．He used to be homeless. D．He was a nature lover.
4．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The writer’s purpose in starting the trip.
B．The writer’s courage in traveling alone.
C．The writer’s mixed feelings about his trip.
D．The writer’s experience of driving on the hill.

17、In fact, at the time they seemed to be ordinary events, but now everything seems different. I had spent 10 years away from the place where I was born. Even though I made the decision to leave my country by myself, I miss a lot of things now. The person that brought me the happiest memories is my best friend. She is the greatest person in the world, and I am not exaggerating(吹嘘). She is kind, funny,polite,and always willing to listen,and has been a great friend. I always recall(回想)events from our childhood. I think about the school where we met in the first grade and went on until the
5th grade. I think about the talks we had and the things we did together. If someone wants me to describe our friendship, I’d say we have been close friends for 17 years and we never got angry with each other. It’s amazing, isn’t it? I haven’t been able to do that with anybody else. Sometimes I even feel guilty(有罪的). I miss her more than my own brothers and sisters. And of course besides those memories, my kids are number one in my life. I have plenty of beautiful memories with them, especially when they were born, which also turned out to be a sad moment for both of them, because they were premature babies(早产儿). Anyone, who has had an experience with a premature baby, can_____what I mean. 1．How does the writer feel about her best friend?
A．She is patient and fun
B．She is famous in the world
C．she is more important than her sons

C．For 10 years D．For 17 years

In the test, you need to listen and choose the best answer and you will listen and answer the questions. Next, you’ll listen and take notes and then you will listen and retell the pas sage according to the notes. Finally, you’ll read a passage aloud. If you want to improve your listening and speaking, you should listen more and read aloud. At the same time, you’d better pay more attention to your
