阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
For some people, there’s no better companion than mans best friend-a dog. This four-legged pet can bring comfort and joy and provide much- needed exercise for you when it needs walkies! This probably explains why dog ownership increased last year because people spent more time at home during he CovID-I9 lockdown.
However, as demand for a new dog increased, so did the price tag. Popular breeds, such as Cockapoos and Cocker Spaniels, saw even sharper price increases, and puppies have been selling for $3,000 or more.
Animal welfare charities fearthat high prices could encourage puppy farming, smuggling (走私) or dog theft. An investigation found some breeders have been selling puppies and kittens on social media sites--something charities have called “extremely irresponsible”.
But despite some new owners purchasing a dog legally, maybe from a rescue center or registered breeder, they’ve proved to be ill-prepared for life with a new pet, and the pet itself has found it hard tocome to terms withlife in a new home.
Looking to the future, there are concerns about the welfare of these much-loved pets. Lan Alkin manager of the Oxfordshire Animal Sanct uary in the UK, notes: “At the moment, the dogs are having a great time, but separation anxiety could still surface when people go back to work.” And Cliare Calder from the UKs Dogs Trust rescue charity says, “The economic situation also means that some people may find they can’t afford to look after
a dog.” The message is not to buy a dog in haste and to pick one that fits into our lifestyle.
1. The greater demand for dogs can cause the following problems except ________.
A. illegal trade of dogs
B. less dog farming
C. high prices of dogs
D. online sale of dogs
2. What does the underlined phrase"come to terms with"in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Fit in with
B. Go in for
C. Make up for.
D. End up with
3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Despite the problems, dogs are living happily.
B. The writer has a positive attitude towards dogs future.
C. Experts are worried that dogs will be unaffordable to people.
D. The writer advises people to think twice before keeping dogs as pets.
B
Babies who frequently communicate with their caregivers using eye contact and vocalisations(发声)at the age of one are more likely to develop greater languages skills by the time they reachtwo,according to new research.
In the study, researchers looked at 11-and 12-month-od babies' vocalisations. gestures and gaze behaviours ,and at how their caregivers responded to them.To measure he interactions ,the researchers videoed infants(婴儿)and caregiver at home,and asked them to play as usual.They took those recordings back to the university
The scientists then used statistical models to find that the best predictor of vocabulary at 24 months was when infants were seen to use vocalsatioms while looking at their caregiver's face when they were about a year old.The benefits were even greater when these interactions were followed by responses from the caregiver.
The statistics showed that at 19 months,children had an average of about 100 words.Those who exhibited the beneficial interactive behaviour earlier in life were seen to have an average of about 30 extra words.
"The message of this paper is thatitis the result of a joint effort; noticing what your child is attending to and talking to them about it will support their language development." said McGillion, a co-author of the work.
"The joy of this message is that that can happen in any context... across any part of your day.It's not something that requires special equipment or even lots of time.I can happen when you're doing the laundry,for example—when you're taking out the socks, you can talk about socks...in the park, in the car, at mealtimes,at bathtimes.This finding can be used in any context,"added McGillion.
"This is a developmental snapshot in the first year of life, but children are constantly growing and changing and so are their behaviours. It would be interesting to look at these sorts of behaviours again as children progress through the second year of life to see what's happening there,"said Donnellan,the lead author on the study.
4. How did the researchers get the findings?
A. By interacting with babies.
B. By asking babies to vocalize.
C. By analyzing relevant recordings.
D. By referring to the previous statistics.
5. What does he underlined word "it"in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Infants' eye contact.
B. Infants' larger vocabulary.
C. The response from caregivers.
D. The best predictor of vocabulary.
6. What did McGilion say about infants' interactive behaviour?
A. I's easy to perform.
B. It's complex to understand.
C. It's difficult to copy.
D. It's interesting to video.
7. What might further studies be on?
A. Children's academic progress.
B. Children's growing environment.
C. Children's potential physical development.
D. Children's behaviours across more age ranges.
C
Avi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.
Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”
“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.
Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.
Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the
Israeli farming village where he grew up.
8. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?
A. It is an icy comet.
B. It looks like a long photo.
C. It is actually some sort of rock.
D. It may come from another alien civilization.
9. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Goes against.
B. Relies on.
C. Turns to.
D. Searches for.
10. What do you think of Loeb?
A. He is foolish.
B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.
C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.
D. He is uncertain about his career future.
11. What's the best title for the text?
A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?
B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?
C. Scientists Are Working on High Technology
D. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space Travel
D
If you travel inAthens, against popular belief, I would highly recommend saving the Acropolis for your secondday. As attractive as it is to head straight to the most famous building in the city, there are several reasons why you should hold off until later.Sunriseis the best time to see the ruins, and who wants to spend their first day in anew citywaking up at6 a.m.? On top of that, the Acropolis is going to make every other site inAthensless important in comparison, so I recommend not hitting it on your first day.
We got to the southeast gate at 7：30, half an hour before it opened at 8. When the gate opened, we rushed to the hill. Our plan paid off because we had the whole complex to ourselves for five minutes. In this age of overtourism, getting to the greatness of the Acropolis with nobody else around felt special and excited.
The Acropolis is the name given to the complex on top of the hill, and it’s made up of several buildings. There’s theTempleofAthena Nike, the Parthenon, the Old Temple of Athena, the Legendary Olive Tree of the Pandroseion, the Porch of the Caryatids at the Erechtheion... and on your way down, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.
Something that sounds boring but isn’t is theAcropolisMuseum, and I recommend spending a couple of hours there. As someone who is a museum-avoider, I listened to the recommendations of everyone who had been, and made myself go inside. And I loved it. The museum houses tons of sculptures unearthed from the Acropolis, and it was interesting to check them out.
Head toSyntagma Squarenext to watch the changing of the guard. This takes place every hour on the hour, so
try to time your visit perfectly. The guards wear fun clothes and make for interesting photos.
12. The author suggests visiting the Acropolis on the second day so that ___________.
A. it can save visitors a lot of time
B. it can save visitors from getting up early
C. it can make for a better travel experience
D. it can give visitors a better understanding ofAthens
13. How did the author feel when he ran to the top of the hill?
A. Bored.
B. Worried.
C. Relaxed.
D. Amazed.
14. With what may the author agree about theAcropolisMuseum?
A. It is so great that it should be visited last.
B. It is enjoyable and worth visiting.
C. It wastes a lot of time.
D. It should be avoided.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To provide some advice on visiting the Acropolis.
B. To introduce the history of the Acropolis.
C. To call on people to protect historic sites.
D. To encourage people to travel around.

Henry started his teddy bear craft-making hobby when he was only 9 years old. Now a teen, his one-of-a-kind collection has grown into thousands, but you won't find his bears on the shelf at home. His mission of kindness has the only purpose of donating his creations to put a smile on the faces of sick children and lift their spirits.
The young boy's work began one day when he was Christmas shopping with his mother. He asked if he could buy a few presents for sick children in hospitals. His mother had to infuse because the family, which included nine children, could simply not afford the extra cost. Henry told his mother not to worry-he would make the toys himself.
“I hadn’t sewed（缝纫）anything before. In the beginning, it took me a lot of practice,“ Henry recalled.
He borrowed his mother's sewing machine and got straight to work. He learned to create the toy animals by trial and error, using the Internet for instructions. It took him five hours to make his first bear, which he described as “a simple, ugly bear”. With much practice and effort, he was able to cut his time down to one hour per bear, and he began creating unique, bright-color1 ed bears that kids love to hug.
Throughout his youth, while most other children were playing video games or skateboarding , Henry was working on a sewing machine, making stuffed animals. What drives his hard work is seeing firsthand how a child changes when they are gifted a teddy bear. Each child's eyes light up with joy, and for a moment, they forget their illness.
“They smile, and some hug me. It makes their whole day better," said Henry, describing how children typically react when he hands them a toy bear. He believes each bear inspires a sense of hope in the receiver.
