这是一篇说明文。

说明了近年来，宠物和餐饮的结合在许多城市变得令人难以置信的流行。

虽然许多咖啡馆一开始只提供猫和狗的陪伴，但他们正在扩大自己的业务范围。

有些咖啡馆里有松鼠甚至水豚等动物。

文章主要列举了人们对于宠物咖啡馆的一些看法。

21.
考查动词时态。

句意：虽然许多咖啡馆一开始只提供猫和狗的陪伴，但他们正在扩大自己的业务范围。

此处描述过去发生的事情应用一般过去时。

故填started。

22.
考查副词。

句意：在评论中，互联网用户评论说，光顾这些商店的一个原因是为了与那些看起来遥不可及的动物亲密互动。

修饰动词interact应用副词closely，表示“亲密地”，close作副词讲表示“接近地”不符合语境。

故填closely。

23.
考查连词。

句意：他们对这些宠物很好奇，想在家里养一只，但环境不允许。

结合上下文语境可知为转折关系，应用but。

故填but。

24.
考查动名词复合结构。

句意：北京居民刘万喜欢猪，但她的父母不同意她养猪当宠物。

此处作介词of的宾语，应填动名词getting与her构成动名词的复合结构。

故填getting。

25.
考查定语从句。

句意：同时，这些宠物咖啡馆也是那些在动物身边找到安慰的人的天堂。

此处为定语从句修饰先行词those，先行词在从句中作主语，指人，故应用关系代词who。

故填who。

26.
考查代词。

句意：“在这里，你可以以一种非常舒适的方式接近这些可爱的小家伙们，而不用担心安全和卫生——总体来说，这是一种非常舒适的体验，”一位名叫小欧的宠物咖啡馆游客说。

此处用于替代前面已经出现过的复数名词animals应用ones。

故填ones。

27.
考查形容词。

句意同上。

修饰后文名词experience应用形容词comfortable，作定语。

故填comfortable。

28.
考查动词时态语态。

句意：鸭子、猪、羊等动物多年来一直被当作食物食用。

根据后文for many years 可知应用现在现在时，主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，故应用现在完成时的被动语态。

主语为Animals，助动词应用have。

故填have been served。

29.
考查介词。

句意：但是，宠物咖啡馆帮助他们转变了态度，从把它们当作玩物，到把它们当作家庭成员或亲密的朋友。

结合后文seeing them as playthings to regarding them as family members or close friends可知表示“从……到……”短语为from...to...。

故填from。

30.
考查名词。

句意：“无论是在家里还是在商店里，这些小动物都陪伴着我们，给我们的心灵带来温暖。

”肖说道。

此处作bring的宾语应用名词warmth，warmth为不可数名词。

故填warmth。

The Globe was built in 1599 using timber from an earlier theatre, The Theatre, which had been built by Richard Burbage’s father, James Burbage, in Shoreditch in 1576. The first performance for which a firm record remains was Jonson’s Every Man out of His Humour—with its first scene welcoming the “gracious and kind spectators” — at the end of the year.
On 29th June 1613, the Globe Theatre went up in flames during a performance of Henry VIII. A theatrical gun, set off during the performance, misfired, burning the wooden beams and straws. According to one of the few surviving documents of the event, no one was hurt except a man whose burning breeches (炮后膛) were put out with a bottle of ale. It was rebuilt in the following year.
Like all the other theatres in London, the Globe was closed down by the Puritans in 1642. It was pulled down in 1644, or slightly later — the commonly cited document dating the act to 15 April 1644 has
been identified as false — to make room for other buildings.
A modern reconstruction of the theatre, named “Shakespeare’s Globe”, opened in 1997, with a production of Henry V. It is an academic approximation of the original design, based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings, and is located approximately 750 feet (230m) from the site of the original theatre.
28.How did the Globe Theatre begin to be on fire on 29 June 1613?

British Airways London Eye, formerly called as the Millennium Wheel, is situated on the south bank of the River Thames on the Jubilee Gardens. It is situated between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Footbridge in Lambeth and adjacent to (比邻) Old Country Building. It stands opposite to Houses of Parliament.
