A Different ViewAt age 14, 15 and 16, the way we looked was the most important thing in the world to us. My friends and I wanted nothing less than perfection.In high school, we joined the gymnastics team, and our 36 became even more important to us. We had no fat, only muscle. On the weekends, we would go to the beach, 37 of our flat stomachs.One summer day, all my friends were at my house 38 . At one point, I was running back to the pool. I 39 on a bee, and while it was dying under my foot, it stung(蛰) me. I instantly started to feel40 . That night, I began to run a high fever and my leg an d foot were red, hot and swollen. I couldn’t walk.I could barely 41 .When my foot started to go numb, everyone became more 42 . My foot was not getting enough blood. I had to go to the 43 , and my leg hurt as if it were badly broken. I couldn’t move. All I could do was think about how soft my middle was becoming. That 44 me more than any concern over my leg.That would all 45 when I heard the doctors mention possibly cutting off my foot. It was still not getting the 46 supply it needed. The doctors would have to speed up their treatment.Never before did I have such great 47 for my foot. And walking seemed like a 48 from the gods. Less and less would I want to hear my friends talk about 49 and who was wearing what. More and more I expected visits from other kids in the hospital, who were quickly becoming my friends.One girl came to visit me 50 . Every time she came, she brought flowers. She was recovering from cancer and felt she should come back and 51 the other patients.She still had no hair, and she was swollen from medications she had been taking. I would not have given this girl a second 52 before. I now loved every inch of her and looked forward to her 53 .Finally, I was improving and soon I went home. My leg was still swollen, 54 I was walking, andI had my foot! When I would go back to the hospital, I often saw my friend. She was still visiting people and 55 good cheer. I thought if even there was an angel on this earth, it had to be her.36. A. grades B. brains C. bodies D. clothes37. A. ashamed B. proud C. sure D. tired38.

This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how to organize videos.Each Main street Movies store has three main sections:1.New Releases Wall.2.Film library.3.Video Games.New Releases Wall. Almost 70 percent of movie rentals are new releases, and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store. The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits. When new titles come into the store, place them on this wall in alphabetical order. The shelves beside Hottest Hits are called Recent Releases. The New Releases Wall, including the Hottest Hits and Recent Releases shelves, holds about 350 titles.Film Library. The thousands of titles in the Film Library are organized into categories. The films within each category are displayed alphabetically. Here are the categories and their two-letter computer codes:*Foreign Language titles include films that were originally made in a foreign language and films with foreign language subtitles. A sticker on the back of each box tells which type of film it is.Video Game. All the video games in Main street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order. Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory(库存), they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store. Therefore, video games are never displayed on the shelves. Shelves in the Video Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game. When a customer wants to rent a particular game, you then find the game from the locked case behind the counter.56. Whom do you think this passage is most probably addressed to?A．The readers in the store.B．The manager of the store.C．The customers in the store.D．The salespersons of the store.57. In which order are the new movies moved in the store?A．From Hottest Hits to Film Library to Recent Releases.B．From Film Library to Hottest Hits to Recent Releases.C．From Recent Releases to Film Library to Hottest Hits.D．From Hottest Hits to Recent Releases to Film Library.58. Why can’t video games be seen on the shelves?A．Because they’ve been sold out.B．Because they’re in the storehouse.C．Because they’re in a locked case behind the counter.D．Because they represent a small percentage of the inventory.59. How can a customer find a film with foreign language subtitles?A. Check the computer.B. Look at the back of the box.C. Check the center section.D. Watch a few minutes of the film.BHearing VoicesWould you like to be an actor, but aren’t the right age or physical type for the part? Don’t give up: there may be a place for you in the world of voice-acting.Twenty-year-old Rickey Collins brings Tucker Foley to like in the cartoon Danny Phantom. In addition to many appearances on television and in movies, Rickey is a voice-over actor, someone we hear but don’t see. Rickey has acted since he was 6, both on and off camera. After school, his grandmother-a manager and acting coach-helped his develop his skills by doing voice exercises and reading aloud.V oice-over actors do many kinds of acting. They are the voices of cartoon characters on television, in movies and video games, and for communicating toys. In films, they replace the foreign language conversation with English version. They create crowd noises, make commercials, act in radio plays, and record telephone instructions and public announcements. They read books on tape and even record museum tours.Like other actors, voice-over actors need to understand scripts, interpret characters, and breathe correctly. They have to master voice techniques, such as pacing, volume, and range. Sometimes they use their normal voices; other times they change their voices to create different characters or noises. Rickey receives his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes each episode(集). He rites helpful notes on the script to guide himself on speaking his part.Rickey practices, then tapes at the recording studio. He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth, acting out their characters as they read their lines into the microphones. “The cartoon gets createdafter we record the words, so we have to imagine everything in our mind,” days Rickey. Later, the recorded words, music, and sound effects are combined with the cartoon art to create the cartoon we enjoy on TV. Sound interesting? Maybe you can have a “voice” in acting after all!60. The sentence underlined in paragraph 2 means _______.A. Rickey draws the characterB. Rickey names Tucker FoleyC. Rickey makes the character seem realD. Rickey decides the future of Tucker Foley61. From the passage we can infer that _______.A. it’s very complex to become a cartoon film voice-over actorB. Rickey has been involved with acting most of his lifeC. Rickey was an actor when he was sixD. many people have nice voices62. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that _______.A. a voice-over actor works very hardB. being a voice-over actor needs talentsC. being a voice-over actor requires skillsD. a voice-over actor has many techniques63. The information in this article would be most valuable to people _______.A. who want to build a career around their voicesB. who need to develop their stage-acting skillsC. who want to understand scriptwritingD. who need to practice voice exercisesCBasketball, Past and PresentIn 1891, a teacher invented a new exercise in Springfield, Massachusetts. A particularly cold winter meant that Dr. James Naismith’s students couldn’t exercise outdoors, and he needed to find a way that would both entertain them and make sure they got enough exercise. He nailed a peach basket up at one end of the gym and began to develop the rules of what is now one of the most popular sports in the world: basketball.As colleges began to adopt the game at the turn of the 20th century, basketball undertook a number of rapid changes. Five-person teams became the norm around 1898. Metal hoops replaced peach baskets in 1906. Though it was short lived, the first basketball league was formed in 1898. Under the direction of President Roosevelt, in the 1930s college sports were reorganized to change the rules, largely to prevent injury to players. This organization became the National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCCA. The first professional league, later to become the National Basketball Association, or NBA, was put together in 1948.The game as we know it is still standardized very carefully. In the NBA and the NCAA, games are played for four quarters of 12 minutes each. A regulation court is 94 feet by 50 feet, though international basketball leagues sometimes use a somewhat smaller court. It has been suggested that because the athleticism of professional players has increased so much since 1891 the sport might be best served by increasing court size, though this change seems unlikely given the large amount of money that would be required to improve courts.Outside of the professional and collegiate leagues, there seems to be no end to the introduction of new varieties of basketball from very corner of the world: water basketball, wheelchair basketball, even a new form called slamball(极限篮球). One might even say that Dr. James Naismith’s creative achievement to sport exists in each one. And the basketball is significant for another reason: women have been playing almost since its inception: the first game of women’s basketball was played in 1891, the same year the sport was invented.64. What purpose does the first paragraph serve?A. To provide the origin of basketball.B. To stress the importance of basketball.C. To offer basic knowledge of basketball.D. To catch the reader’s attention by telling a story.65. Which of the following statements reflects the basketball in ventor’s spirit?A. Basketball is now making a large profit.B. Many new, creative varieties of basketball exits.C. Americans are still very successful at basketball.D. Basketball has become an international sport now.66. The underlined word “inception” probably means _______.A. golden ageB. beginningC. boomingD. fading periodDThe past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists(⼈类学家). Descriptions like “Paleolithic(旧⽯器时代)Man”，“Neolithic(新⽯器时代)Man”, e tc, neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twenty-first century, they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”. Histories of the time will go something like this:“In the twenty-first century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when the y went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of very huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were ruined by the presence of large car parks.”The future history books might also record that we lost the right of using our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train, the unclear picture of the countryside constantly slides over the window. When you mention the most impressive place-names in the world, the typical 21st century traveler always says “I’ve been there.”—meaning“I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you skip all experience. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his cars and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.67. Anthropologists name man nowadays “Legless Man” bec ause _______.A．people prefer cars, buses and trains B．people travel without using legsC．lifts prevent people from walking D．people use their legs less and less68. According to the passage, what might make people lose the right of using their eyes?A．The modem means of transportation. B．A bird’s-eye view of the world.C．The unclear sight from the vehicles. D．The fast-paced life style.69. From the passage, we know traveling at high speeds means _______.A．appreciating beautiful scenery B．experiencing life skillsC．focusing on the next destination D．feeling physical tiredness70. What does the author intend to tell us?A．Modem transportation devices have replaced legs.B．Traveling makes the world a small place.C．Human’s history develops very fast.D．The best way to travel is on foot.第⼆节（共5⼩题:每⼩题2分，共10分）根据短⽂内容，从短⽂后的七个选项中选出恩给你填⼊空⽩处的最佳选项。

ACrazy-Creative Traditions in SchoolsHere are a few schools’ crazycreative traditions that will probably have you wish to go there so you could celebrate in all the graduation fun. Learn about them all in the below.Attire(服装) and Flowers at College of CharlestonYou fashionista will love this one. During the December ceremony, women wear black dresses and men wear black tuxedos(无尾礼服). During the May ceremony, women wear white dresses and men wear summer tuxedos. It’s also been a tradition since the 1930s to carry flowers onto the stage：women carry bouquets of six red roses in a red bow and men wear a single red rose boutonniere(胸花). So classy!Hoop Rolling at Wellesley CollegeThis allwomen’s college tradition was originally held on May Day, but it’s now held in April. The purpose was to allow students to essentially leave all their worries behind and just participate in some fun games outdoors. Back in the day, it was said that the winner of the hoop rolling race was the first to be married, and in the 1980s she would be the first to be a CEO. Nowadays, the winner would be the first to achieve her own happiness...that is, after being thrown into Lake Waban by all her classmates.Fabric and Green Grad Recycling Program at the University of New HampshireYou’ll absolutely love this tradition. UNH’s vendor provides wrinkleresistant caps and gowns made of recycled plastic bottles. Graduates then have the opportunity to donate their gowns to be cleaned and reused. Graduates are still able to keep their caps and tassels as keepsakes, all while helping to save the environment.1．If you want to participate in the December ceremony, you can choose ________．A．College of CharlestonB．Wellesley CollegeC．University of New HampshireD．Oxford University2．Hoop Rolling at Wellesley College is aimed at enabling the students to ________．A．be a CEO B．have funC．achieve happiness D．be married3．What are UNH’s caps and gowns made of?A．Flowers. B．Silk and cotton.C．Leather. D．Recycled plastic bottles.BWhen I was three years old, I couldn’t speak. It was a strange reality that none of the doctors I visited could understand.One day, I was shadowing(尾随) my mother. She found herself looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met. She began to speak to me through the reflection, and I slowly began to mimic(模仿) her mouth’s mo vements until I formed a word.It turned out that I’m deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I’ve never lived in a state of selfhating sorrow. Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That’is my reality when I sleep on my good ear，and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.People call my deaf side my “bad ear”，but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don’t. In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it we re whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.Owning a hearing aid hasn’t always felt good, however. On the first d ay I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show and tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, “Aren’t those for old men？” At that moment, I felt different. It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers.But it’s not just schoolkids who can make us deaf and hardofhearing people feel like burdens. Every video on social media that lacks subtitles(字幕), for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it. Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.And with hearing aids costing around $2, 500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to things that others take for granted. As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations I’m lucky. I’m deaf, but I can still hear everything. I’ve been blessed with wonderful life experiences, and I am human. And when it comes to sleeping, I’m even superhuman.4．How does the author view his hearing difficulty?A．It’s a disaster and causes him a lot of trouble.B．It gave him a chance to experience something special.C．It made him feel embarrassed in front of his classmates.D．It helped him to live in his own world without being interrupted.5．What can be inferred from the passage about the author?A．He was born deaf.B．He is optimistic and helpful.C．His family and classmates have supported him a lot.D．The hearing aid brings much convenience to his daily life.6．What is the author’s attitude toward his life?A．Grateful. B．Anxious.C．Excited. D．Disappointed.7．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?A．To give advice on life to disabled people.B．To show how difficult life is for disabled people.C．To share his experience of treating a disadvantage with gratitude.D．To show the convenience a hearing aid could bring.CIt is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socioeconomic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called Head Start was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into preschool institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing, because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Head Start” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, a nother program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child’s first teachers. This program was based on researc h showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different socioeconomic statuses, ages andfamily structures. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the Missouri program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socioeconomic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socioeconomic backgrounds or family structures. The one factor that was found to affect the child’s development was the poor quality of parentchild interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The Missouri program compares quite distinctly with the Head Start program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.8．What caused the failure of the “Head Start” program?A．The large number of poor families.B．The disapproval from children.C．The late start of the program.D．The long period of time.9．What do we know about the “Missouri” program?A．It focused on the children’s first school teachers.B．It helped the children return to the same home.C．It made the children improved in many aspects.D．It gave the parents advice on their development.10．According to the passage, what is likely to influence children’s performance?A．The number of family members.B．The parent-child communication.C．The intelligence of their parents.D．The teacher-student relationship.11．How does the author develop the passage?A．By listing figures.B．By making comparisons.C．By presenting ideas.D．By drawing conclusions.DIn the story of the Crow and the Pitcher from Aesop’s Fables, a thirsty crow drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.Now scientists have evidence to back up that story. Crows actually do understand how to make water displacement(排水量) work to their advantage, experiments show. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders.Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Cambridge, presented six crows with tubes containing water. Inside the tubes, a worm or a piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crow. In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged several rubber erasers that would sink, and some plastic objects that would float. The crows found out that they could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.However, the birds handled awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow one to get a snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects into a narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops; while it took around seven drops to raise t he snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didn’t real ize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.Previous studies showed that chimps and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that was floating in a small amount of water at the bottom.12．How did the crows get the snack in Sarah’s experiment?A．By breaking the tube.B．By dropping in erasers.C．By standing on the wood.D．By removing the wood.13．What does the underlined part “the birds handled awkwardl y” mean in Paragraph 4?A．They were unable to tell different shapes.B．They dropped objects only into narrow tubes.C．They were not aware of the snack at first sight.D．They mostly avoided the easier way to get the snack.14．What does the text mainly focus on?A．Stories of Aesop’s Fables.B．The development of crows.C．Crows’ intelligence.D．Human-animal communication.15．What do we know about crows in the passage?A．Crows are almost as clever as first-graders in some aspects.B．Crows understand water displacement completely.C．Chimps and children are much smarter than crows.D．The story of the Crow and the Pitcher lacks evidence.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Our parents were both gone now；I took with me as many things they had left behind as I could.I was out walking one Saturday later that summer when something caught my eye - a pale green dress. Laid out on the pavement was stuff like earrings, glass candle-holders, books. Hanging on the fence behind were a few pairs of jeans and a green cotton dress.The woma n, the host o£ the stoop (门廊）sale, looked like she was getting rid of a past she didn’t need or want. A dress that was too big for her. A chest of drawers that took up too much space, space she needed, maybe, to heal ，recover, or grow.I wasn’t planning on buying anything really, but now I needed to show her that I appreciated her things and I would give them a safe home. Then I had my first stoop sale —I paid her 20 dollars for her green cotton dress and her blue candle-holder,From that day on, I became interested in stoop sales. Some of my favorite things are from someone else’s life. I find no joyin shopping at regular stores any more. I love trying to sniff out a memory from a bud vase or a drawer. It is comforting to know that someone has breathed and laughed inside a sweater before me.A few weeks ago, I carried my mother’s dresses to a friend’s stoop. These were her best items ，which were once worn by the most important person in my life. For many hours, I watched from across the path people advancing the stoop, some leaving with Mom1S dress. I used to think that her stuff was as forever sacred (神圣的）as my memory of her, I know now that once I love a scarf or shirt too dearly，it needs to finda new home. Even that green dress is long gone by now.31. T he author took her mother*s dresses after her death because ______A. she valued the things used by her momB. she didn’t want to throw them, awayC. she could sell them laterD. they were her mom’s best items32. F rom the passage, we know that ______.A. the things the author bought from the woman are too bigB. the author is fond of imagining others’ life experiencesC. the author will never shop at regular stores any moreD. t he author still keeps most of her mom’s things33. I n the last paragraph ，the author tries to tell us that ______.A her mom is the number one person in her lifeB. she didn’t really want to sell her mom’s dressesC. she still thinks of her mother quite oftenD. love doesn’t mean holding on to somethin g tightly34. I t can be inferred that the author will ______.A. not sell her own things at stoop salesB. keep her mom in her mind in another wayC. be sad about all the memory of her momD. move to another city for a new lifeBA father in Wuhan, nicknamed "Eagle Dad" for his controversial parenting style, has dismissed critics' claims that he pushes his 4-year-old son too hard.Police officer Wang Shaoyan came under the spotlight this month after his child took part in an 18-kilometer race in the Hubei provincial capital.Some parents attacked his methods of extreme physical training, while others reacted strongly to his admission that he regularly exposes the youngster to cold showers. "I just want my son to reach his full potential," Wang said, adding that。

If you want to learn why everything is usually cheaper, and what items are the best deals at your local or chain dollar or discount store, store employees have a lot of useful information. They tend to know what shoppers want — even before shoppers know themselves.Everyone buys unnecessary thingsWhether you shop at a chain dollar store such as Dollar Tree, Family Dollar or your local 99 cents store, not everything that’s on sale is necessarily worth purchasing. Bryan Waring, a former Dollar Tree employ ee, says that you’re not alone in buying more than necessary from these stores. “It seems basic, but everyone falls for this trap,” he says. “You go into a store where everything is cheap, and you walk out with things you don't need.” He suggests going into a store — yes, even the dollar store — with a checklist of things you truly need.Everything is cheaper after the holiday seasonPatricia, a seasonal worker at a Dollar Tree, says that the post-Christmas season means even more deals on everything from de corations to sweets. “After Christmas, all the gift wrap paper went to 50 cents, and all Christmas items were half price,” she says. “Even candy bars are 89 cents versus $ 1.”Products are less expensive because of their sizeIn order for dollar stores to keep their prices low, product sizes are usually smaller than normal, according to Cheapism. Dollar stores area t the only ones guilty of this trick. Cheapism also reports Walmart is guilty of doing the same thing to attract customers.1．What is Bryan’s ad vice against buying unnecessary things?A．Making a purchase alone.B．Writing a to-buy list ahead.C．Shopping at your local store.D．Buying basic things separately.2．Which of the following is a better time for shopping according to Patricia?A．In the Christmas sales.B．At a particular discount.C．After the Christmas season.D．During some holiday seasons.3．How do stores make their products cheaper?A．By reducing product sizes.B．By lowering product costs.C．By adopting discount strategies.D．By attracting more customers.【解析】这是一篇说明文。

It stuck out a few inches above the ground and was 11 inches in width-slightly wider than a basketball-with a hatch(盖子) that had been moved unnoticed. The two-year-old boy had slipped in and was drowning in four feet of waste water inside the eight-feet-deep tank.Madison surveyed the situation. She was the only one who could fit through the small hole. Without hesitation, she told the adults, “Lower me in. Inside, the tank was dark, and the air was smelly. In the process, she jammed her left wrist against a hidden pole, injuring the muscles in her wrist so severely that the hand was left useless.Rather than tending to her injury, Madison tried to feel the underwater boy. Minutes went by before she saw the outline of his foot. Madison shot her good hand out and grasped the foot tightly “Pull me up!” she shouted. Then, ten minutes after Madison had entered the tank, she and the boy were lifted out.But the boy wasn’t out of trouble. He had lacked Oxygen long enough that he wasn’t breathing. He was placed on his side, and an adult hit him hard on the back. It was only when Madison heard him cry that she knew he was all right. It took Madison longer to recover than the boy, who was taken to hospital and left hospital that same night.

Henry, born in Greensboro, North Carolina, was the pen name of William Sydney Porter. His father, Algernon Sydney Porter, was a physician. When William was three years old, his mother died, and he was raised by his grandmother and aunt. William was a good reader, but at the age of fifteen he left school, and worked in a drug store and later on a Texas farm. After that, he moved to Houston, where he had a number of jobs, including that of bank clerk. After moving to Austin, Texas, in 1882, he married.In 1884 he started a humorous weekly The Rolling Stone. When the weekly failed, he joined The Houston Post as a reporter and columnist(专栏作家). In 1897 he was put into prison over some financial(财务的) dealings. While in prison, William started to write short stories to earn money to support his daughter Margaret. His first work, Whistling Dick’s Christmas Stocking(1899), appeared in McClure’s Magazine. After serving three years of the five years’ sentence, he changed his name to O. Henry, hoping to forget his bitter past.O. Henry moved to New York City in 1902 and from December 1903 to January 1906 he wrote a story a week for the New York World, and also published the stories in other magazines. His first collection, Cabbages and Kings, appeared in 1904. Many other works quickly followed, such as The Gift of the Magi and The Furnished Room. O. Henry’s best-known work is The Ransom of Red Chief. His stories always have surprising endings. He published 10 collections and over 600 short stories during his lifetime.O.

Since that ground-breaking moment, more than four million babies have been born through IVF(体外受精) and in 2010 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine.The prize for Dr. Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2008, includes a ￡900,000 cheque. The Nobel Assembly described IVF as “a milestone in modern medicine”.With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchester—born physiologist developed IVF—leading to the birth of the world’s first test tube baby. Dr. Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertility(生育) treatment and given hope to millions of couples.It was a scientific breakthrough that cha nged the lives of millions of couples. They said, “His achievements have made it possible to treat infertility, a disease which makes humans unable to have a baby. This condition has been afflicting a large percentage of mankind, including more than 10% of all couples worldwide.”Professor Edwards, who has 5 daughters and 11 grandchildren, began his research at Cambridge University in 1963, after receiving his PhD in 1955. He once said, “The most imp ortant thing in life is having a child. Nothing is more special than a child.” With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, Prof. Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridgeshire, which now treats more than 900 women a year. Each year, more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment.But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the Catholic Church who said it was “unethical and immoral”.Martin Johnson, professor of reproductive(生殖的) sciences at the University of Cambridge, said the award was “long overdue”. He said, “We couldn’t understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted—this is the cherry on the cake for him.”Professo r Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was “thrilled and delighted”.32. What is Robert Edwards' contribution to science?A. Challenging a disease which stops couples having a baby.B. Seeing the wonder of the first tube baby growing.C. Enabling millions of couples to live a better life.D. Helping couples with infertility to have test tube babies.33. What does the underlined word “afflicting” in Paragraph 4 most probably refer to?A. Troubling.B. Developing.C. Improving.D. Frightening.34. It can be inferred from Paragraph 6 and Paragraph 7 that ________.A. some people envied Professor Edwards for his being awardedB. different opinions were voiced on Professor Edwards' workC. Professor Edwards deserved the prize for his breakthroughD. the prize was late because the finding was first considered immoral35. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Life Stories of Robert EdwardsB. Preparations for Having a BabyC. Nobel Prize for IVF Expert EdwardsD. Treatment of Infertility in a Lab第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

高考英语考前精选十篇科学高效复盘冲刺专项题型练阅读理解D(十卷)(训练版)
阅读理解D（精准复盘冲刺练十篇）(一）新能源汽车Norway just hit a record in its move to gradually stop using cars that rely on fossil fuels.More than 9 in 10 new cars sold there in September were either electric or rechargeable hybrids, according to the Norwegian Information Council for Road Traffic, or OFV. Of all new passenger cars sold so far in 2021, less than 5% are gas⁃powered. A slightly smaller percentage use diesel (柴油). The sales numbers push Norway closer to meeting its national goal of transitioning to an entirely zero⁃emission (零排放的) fleet of new cars by 2025—an initiative the government backs with tax incentives (激励).Several factors are driving record numbers of Norwegian drivers to choose electricity over gas or diesel power, including new technology that has eased customers' anxiety about electric vehicles' range. But money is a main concern.Norway has long encouraged people to adopt electric vehicles—and it does so by using a carrot so large that it's essentially also a stick.Electric cars are exempt (免除) from the 25% value⁃added tax (V AT), for instance. They're also exempt from environmental pollution taxes that buyers of gas and diesel vehicles must pay. “The purchase tax for all new cars is calculated by a bination of weight, CO2and NOx emissions,”the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association says. “The tax is progressive, making big cars with high emissions very expensive.” Other sweeteners include a lot of auto⁃related fees that are reduced or totally canceled, from ferry rides to parking. And panies can get a tax break for each electric vehicle.Overall, Norway is seeing a rapid increase in passenger cars this year—more than 35% higher than in 2020. With electric car sales booming, the future of the V AT exemption has been the top subject for political debate this year, as lawmakers look at how to bolster tax ine while also supporting the move away from fossil fuels.1.What is the main reason for electric vehicles' leading sales growth?A.The V AT exemption.B.No more auto⁃related fees.C.Fossil fuel shortage.D.The development of technology.2.How does the author illustrate the carrot and stick approach in the 5th paragraph?A.By analyzing cause and effect.B.By giving statistics.C.By referring to previous findings.D.By making a parison.3.What does the underlined word “bolster” in the last paragraph mean?A.Calculate.B.Reduce.C.Receive.D.Increase.4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Tax⁃free Policy Works Well with Car Industry in NorwayB.No More Gas⁃powered Cars Allowed to Be Sold in NorwayC.9 in 10 Cars Sold in Norway Are Electric or Rechargeable HybridsD.Almost All Cars Will Go Electric in Norway Right Away1.____________2.__________3.__________4.__________（二）自然科学研究Kids everywhere love to play. And they know that a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists report bumblebees(大黄蜂)seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play.Lots of animals play. But the behavior is best known in mammals(哺乳动物)and birds. For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of training for things they’ll have to deal with in later life.But before this, there were no reports of insects playing.Dr. Lars Chittka did an earlier experiment, where he trained bumblebees to roll balls into a goal for food. He noticed some bees were rolling balls even when they weren’t rewarded. He wondered if they were playing.To test the idea，he with other scientists set up a new experiment. First, they marked 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between one and 23 days old. Then they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, small colored wooden balls were placed. On one side of the path，the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around.For three hours a day over 14 days, the scientists opened the pathway. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls.Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bumblebees would beat their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 marked bumblebees did this 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The scientists found the younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls, and that males seemed morelikely to play than females.The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings.1．What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 refer to?A．The discovery that playing is training.B．The experiment about mammals’ living habits.C．The report that bumblebees play for fun.D．The parison between insects and birds.2．What did Dr. Lars Chittka and other scientists do in the new experiment?A．They trained bumblebees to play balls.B．They put small balls on both sides of the pathway.C．They set up a feeding area in bumblebees’ nest.D．They rewarded the bumblebees that rolled balls.3．What can we learn from the experiment?A．Male bumblebees lend to play balls more often.B．Colorful balls are bumblebees’ favourite toys.C．Younger bumblebees are better at rolling balls.D．Bumblebees show interest in anything round.4．What can be the best title for the text?A．Bumblebees Arc Just Like Kids B．Balls Are a Perfect Thing to Play withC．Playing Is Animals’ Second Nature D．Bumblebees Are First Insect Known to Play1.____________2.__________3.__________4.__________（三）人与自我Nature has developed the emotional state we call anger to help us stay alive. Anger energizes us to prepare us for action. It can be used either in productive ways or just the opposite. When we feel energized by anger, we might ask ourselves how we put this energy to the most productive use.Perhaps the most helpful thing to remember about anger is that it is a secondary emotion. A primary feeling iswhat is felt immediately before we feel angry. We might first feel afraid, attacked, offended, trapped, or disrespected. If any of these feelings are intense enough, we think of the emotion as anger. Generally speaking, secondary feelings do not identify the unmet emotional need. When all I can say is “I feel angry”, neither I nor anyone else knows what would help me feel better. A helpful technique, then, is to always identify the primary emotion.Assume someone wants us to do something we prefer not to do. At first, we feel a little pressured, but not enough to get angry. When they keep pushing us, we begin to get irritated. If they continue, we get angry. Such anger damages relationships.If we feel angry, it is evident that we feel strongly about something. Instead of saying “I can't believe how irresponsible she is. What a cold⁃hearted, evil witch she is.”, a more productive response is: “Am I really upset by this? Why does it bother me so much? What specifically am I feeling?” From the answers, we can decide to pick the best one to calm the anger. As soon as we “upshift” and begin to think about our options and their consequences, we start to feel more in control and less threatened. We get out of the automatic stimulus⁃response mode and realize that we have choices.There is a quote from Viktor E. Frankl that goes like this: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space...lies our growth and our freedom.”1.What's the author's attitude towards anger?A.Favorable.B.Neutral.C.Doubtful.D.Negative.2.What can we know about anger?A.It reflects one's intense feeling.B.It refers to a minor emotion.C.It can identify emotional need.D.It surely causes a violent reaction.3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly deal with?A.What questions we ask about anger.B.How we respond to anger.C.How we develop growth and freedom.D.When we consider the consequence.4.What is the text mainly about?A.Ways to know about anger.B.Reasons to arouse anger.C.Managing anger in a good way.D.Calming anger at the right time.1.____________2.__________3.__________4.__________（四）人与自然Endangered polar bears are breeding (繁殖) with grizzly bears (灰熊), creating “pizzly” bears, which is being driven by climate change, scientists say.As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards. And with that growing contact between the two e increasing hybrids (杂交种).With characteristics that could give the hybrids an advantage in warming northern habitats, some scientists guess that they could be here to stay. “Usually, hybrids aren't better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a broader range of food sources,” Larisa DeSantis, an associate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science.The rise of “pizzly” bears appears with polar bears' decline: Their numbers are estimated to decrease by more than 30% in the next 30 years. This sudden fall is linked partly to “pizzly” bears taking up polar bears' ranges, where they outpete them, but also to polar bears' highly specialized diets.“Polar bears mainly consumed soft foods even during the Medieval Warm Period, a previous period of rapid warming,” DeSantis said, referring to fat meals such as seals. “Although all of these starving polar bears are trying to find alternative food sources, like seabird eggs, it could bea tipping point for their survival.” Actually, the calories they gain from these sources do not balance out those they burn from searching for them. This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, leading to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.“We're having massive impacts with climate change on species,” DeSantis said. “The polar bear is telling us how bad things are. In some sense, ‘pizzly’ bears could be a sad but necessary promise given current warming trends.”1.Why do polar bears move further south?A.To create hybrids.B.To expand territory.C.To relieve hunger.D.To contact grizzlies.2.What makes “pizzly” bears adapt to natural surroundings better than their parents?A.Broader habitats.B.More food options.C.Climate preference.D.Improved breeding ability.3.What does the underlined phrase “a tipping point” in paragraph 5 refer to?A.A rare chance.B.A critical stage.C.A positive factor.D.A constant change.4.What's the main idea of the text?A.Polar bears are changing diets for climate change.B.Polar bears have already adjusted to climate change.C.“Pizzly” bears are on the rise because of global warming.D.“Pizzly” bears have replaced polar bears for global warming.1.____________2.__________3.__________4.__________（五）自然与环境The Atlantic salmon (鲑鱼) of Scotland are hardy and determined animals. Each spring and summer, they return from the North Atlantic Ocean to lay eggs in Scotland’s shallow rivers,leaping up waterfalls and over barriers, pushing themselves upstream in enormous efforts. Some fail, and others succeed, but today they face yet another challenge.During the mid1980s, there were between eight and ten million salmon swimming around Scotland’s Atlantic coast; that number has now dropped sharply. There’s evidence of reducing the availability of the salmon’s prey (猎物) as climate change warms and acidifies oceans. New research suggests climate change is also bearing down on rivers, which is bad news for salmon.Adapted to life in cold water, salmon experience slow growth and population changes at high temperatures. Heat influences their health and reduces their resistance to disease.“Now salmon are struggling to deal with the rising temperatures. There are recent records of 27°C in the upper reaches of the Dee catchment,” says Peter Cairns, director of an environmental charity. In 2018, Scotland recorded the lowest pole catch for salmon since records began. Evidence suggests that the degraded quality of river worsens the impact of our changing climate. “Atlantic salmon evolved using river systems in Scotland that were once way more forested and therefore shaded.” Yet Scotland is today one of the least wooded countries in Europe, with just 3 percent of its native woodland undamaged. Scientists have found that just 35percent of rivers in Scotland have enough tree cover for salmon survival.A movement to get trees back on riverbanks is gathering pace. “Broadleaf trees close to the bank can reduce the light that enters the water,” explains fisheries scientist Anthony Hawkins.A new initiative called Riverwoods — led by the Scottish Wildlife Trust and supported by Scottish Water and several other gove rn ment and regulatory bodies — aims to create a network of woodlands along Scotland’s riverbanks, and has already received a number of large funds.“Money is not the pressing business. River health is plex, but tree planting is one of the most basic things we can get started with right away,”says Cairns.1．Why do Atlantic salmon make great journeys back to the rivers?A．They search for foods.B．They reproduce themselves.C．The rivers are relatively cool.D．The seas are increasingly warm.2．How do the rising temperatures in rivers affect salmon?A．They grow more quickly.B．They are more heatresistant.C．They are less active in water.D．They are more likely to get diseases.3．What is a challenge for salmon when they return to Scotland’s rivers?A．There is a shortage of food.B．There is much fish catching.C．The ecology environment has changed.D．The river systems are unsuitable for the forest growth.4．What does Cairns really intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A．It is urgent to plant riverbank trees.B．It is too hard to restore the river health.C．There is enough money for the project.D．There are too many vital things to deal with.1.____________2.__________3.__________4.__________（六）人与自然Wind power is a powerful tool for reducing carbon emissions (排放) that cause climate change. The turbines (涡轮机), however, can be a threat to birds, which is why experts are looking for ways to limit the danger.A pany in Boulder, Colorado has produced a camera⁃and⁃AI⁃based technology that can recognize eagles and other birds as they approach in enough time to make turbines pause in their flight path. Their tool, called IdentiFlight, can detect 5.62 times more bird flights than human observers alone, and with an accuracy rate of 94 percent. Using high⁃precision visual sensors, the system calculates a bird's speed and flight track, and if it is on a collision (碰撞) path with a turbine, a signal is sent to shut that turbine down.Winning an award for its performance in Australia, the tracking system was built in 2018 and was found to cut eagle deaths at the Cattle Hill Wind Farm by more than four⁃fifths. Each day, signals have shut down their movement an average of 400 times—across the field of 48 turbines—for two to three minutes each time.Bird lover and director of the National Audubon Society's Clean Energy Initiative, Garry George, admits, “Our own science shows that climate change is by far the biggest threat to birds and the places wildlife needs to survive. IdentiFlight will make it possible to fight the worst effects of climate change and at the same time protect the birds we love in the process.”1.What contribute to IdentiFlight detecting birds' approaching?A.Cameras and AI.B.Human observers.C.Changes to turbines.D.Birds' flying habits.2.What happens at a wind farm with IdentiFlight when a bird is to knock into a turbine?A.The turbine is stopped temporarily.B.The turbine changes the bird's track.C.The turbine kills the approaching bird.D.The turbine is out of work permanently.3.What is Garry George's attitude towards IdentiFlight?A.Ambiguous.B.Reserved.C.Approving.D.Unconcerned.4.What is the suitable title for the text?A.AI Keeps Track of BirdsB.Powerful Tools Save NatureC.Climate Change Leads to Bird DeathsD.AI Helps Wind Turbines Protect Birds1.____________2.__________3.__________4.__________（七）社会与科技We are often so attracted by the promises of modern digital life that we fail to notice its danger. It’s that feeling of losing control that we get a dozen times a day, from when we get distracted with our phones in a discussion to when we can’t appreciate a private moment without sharing it with virtual audience.In my first attempt to get control over my technology use, I set my phone to vibrate rather than ring. Soon after, another problem appeared. The act of continually checking the phone became a habit. I knew then that using only tips to permanently reform digital life is difficult. We should go past the notification settings on our devices or apps and consider the more essential topic of why we use so many apps in the first place. What all of us who are struggling with these challenges need is a technology usage philosophy, something that explains from the ground up which digital tools we allow into our lives, why, and under what conditions.Cal Newport, a professor of puter science defines Digital Minimalism as a“philosophy of technology use in which you focus your online time on a small number of carefully selected activities that strongly support the things you value, and then happily miss out on everything else”.To do so, however, we cannot passively allow the tools and apps provided by the Internet age to control how we spend our time or how we feel. Instead, we must take steps to draw the positive aspects of these technologies while sidestepping the negative aspects.1．What does “its danger” in the first paragraph refer to?A．Feeling depressed.B．Getting distracted in a discussion.C．Losing control of your digital life.D．Giving up private moments.2．Why does the author mention his own experiences?A．To bring in a better solution.B．To explain a phenomenon.C．To make a parison.D．To clarify misunderstandings.3．Which of the following will digital minimalists agree to?A．Ignoring the side effect of digital tools.B．Getting away from entertainment apps.C．Spending more time selecting information.D．Devoting your screen time to valuable things.4．What’s the text mainly about?A．Reforms in life.B．Technology usage philosophy.C．Apps and social media sites.D．Technology challenges.1.____________2.__________3.__________4.__________（八）人与自然The pany SpaceX has already launched hundreds of its Starlink satellites, with plans to put as many as 42,000 of them in Earth orbit. Its goal is to provide high⁃speed Internet to billions of people. Moving toward that kind of access is important, but it es at a cost. Glittering with reflected sunlight, these first orbiters, sent up in the past year, are brighter than 99 percent of the 5,000 or so other satellites now circling Earth, and obviously there are going to be a lot more. This sudden increase is bad for astronomy: The probability of a Starlink satellite crossing a telescope's field of view and ruining an observation will be quite high near sunset. For that reason, my fellow astronomers have signed a petition(请愿书)calling for governments to protect the night sky from this invasion.In response to protests, SpaceX has promised to address the visibility problem by, for example, applying experimental coatings—essentially painting the satellites black—but the pany's aggressive launch schedule remains unchanged. And the satellites' illuminated(被照亮)surfaces are mostly their solar panels—exactly the part that cannot be painted over.Unfortunately, at present no regulations govern how bright a single satellite can be, let alone thousands of them together. Even if there are such regulations, one nation's laws cannot hinder(阻碍)another country's launches. Space literally has no borders, and the sky will need to be protected at an international level. As a consequence, we hope that the United Nations will find a way to think outside of the box to save the sky for everyone.When I was growing up in Montana, it was a game to be the first to find a moving satellite among the host of stars in the night sky. Soon it could be a game to recognize the constellations(星座)behind a swarm of moving points of light.1.What is the writer's attitude toward SpaceX's launch plans?A.Indifferent.B.Doubtful.C.Optimistic.D.Disapproving.2.Why have the author's fellow astronomers signed the petition?A.SpaceX plans to send too many Starlink satellites into space.B.The Starlink satellites will possibly ruin an observation near sunset.C.The first orbiters are brighter than most of other satellites circling Earth.D.SpaceX fails to provide high⁃speed Internet to people around the world.3.According to the author, who should shoulder the responsibility to save the sky?A.The United States.B.The United Nations.C.The pany SpaceX.D.Just one nation.4.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Preserve the Night SkyB.Ban Starlink SatellitesC.Observe the Stars AttentivelyD.Protest Against SpaceX1.____________2.__________3.__________4.__________（九）人与自我Like many parents working from home while their kids are learning remotely, we've been looking for creative ways to connect with our children—and nowhere has this been truer than in the kitchen.Kitchen science, as Liz Heinecke, author of Kitchen Science Lab for Kids calls it, doesn't require any fancy equipment or ingredients (原料)—and, best of all, in the era of remote education, we can bine science lessons with everyday meal preparations. By helping with cooking, kids can engage in lively, project⁃based lessons. Actually, even the easiest recipes include both simple and plex scientific concepts.Kitchen science isn't just about what we're cooking. It's also about understanding why it's worth taking the time to figure out how ingredients and temperature interact and why substances behave the way they do. Everyone involved will learn something.For example, we all know oil and water don't mix easily, but we can change this by adding mustard (芥末酱) to the oil and water to make a salad dressing. This is an opportunity to teach kids about the science of emulsions (乳剂). Adding lemon juice to a vegetable stops that vegetable from turning brown;cabbage changes color when you add vinegar to it. Both of those phenomena are the result of chemical reactions. In the classroom, it can be hard to see how scientific concepts will be applied outside the lab. But when kids see these concepts work in the real world, that sparks curiosity and learning.“Every time you step into your kitchen to cook, you put science to work. In fact, physics and chemistry e into play whenever you steam, bake, freeze or boil. Thus, every time you step into the kitchen, it's an opportunity for everyone to learn more about science,” Liz Heinecke said.1.What are parents expected to do in the kitchen?A.Ask kids to cook a meal on their own.B.Do scientific experiments in the kitchen.C.Pay attention to cooking ingredients.D.bine scientific concepts with recipes.2.What does the fourth paragraph indicate?A.Raw materials are important in the kitchen.B.Procedures to cook dinner must be followed.C.Cooking can inspire kids' interest in studying science.D.Family education is more important than school education.3.What can we learn from Liz Heinecke's words?A.Cooking can benefit both kids and parents.B.Parents need to master different cooking skills.b experiments can be repeated at home.D.Schools should offer cooking courses.4.What does the author intend to tell us in the text?A.To practice healthy eating habits.B.To learn food science out of the lab.C.To turn meal preparations into family learning.D.To teach kids some recipes for cooking in the kitchen.1.____________2.__________3.__________4.__________（十）:人与自然We've all been there, when a really essential item that you had to order online arrives in such an unbelievable amount of packaging that it makes you feel like it's an unprepared game of passing the parcel.It's made even worse by the fact that some of the packaging can't be recycled. In fact, 10 million tonnes of packaging waste are produced in the UK every year. A lot of this ends up in landfill, two⁃thirds of which could have instead been recycled.The good news, however, is that how packaging waste is managed is in for a BIG shake⁃up in line with the “polluter pays principle”. By placing the main point of duty to pay on brand owners, they will be encouraged to choose more sustainable packaging options which are recyclable and reusable as much as possible. Otherwise, they will have to pay higher fees.This is a system known as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)—meaning that those who have control over packaging design decisions will be encouraged to do the right thing for the planet at the beginning and consider what happens at the end of the packaging's life from the start.What this means is that instead of local authorities picking up the bill for household waste management, panies will have to pay for managing your household packaging waste, and they will be met with the associated little costs too.And, as an added bonus, the new EPR laws on packaging will also mean that producers are required to put clear mandatory (强制性的) labelling on packaging. For example, this could be “RECYCLE” or “DO NOT RECYCLE”. Of course, we hope that the “DO NOT RECYCLE” category labelling is the minority. It is aimed that by 2030, 78% of packaging will be recycled in the UK.1.What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A.Two⁃thirds of packaging waste is recycled.B.Over⁃packaging is often the case in life.C.The quality of goods cannot be guaranteed.D.Online shopping is getting less popular.2.Who will be responsible for paying packaging waste costs according to the law?A.Designers.B.Producers.C.Customers.D.Local authorities.3.What can the EPR laws lead the brand owners to do?A.Pay higher taxes and recycle packaging waste.B.Put clear labelling on packaging and promote sales.C.Cut packaging waste and improve packaging recycling.D.Follow the packaging design trend and the right things.4.What can be learned about the items ordered online in the future?A.Their labelling on packaging will be simple and generous.B.The majority of their packaging needn't be recycled.C.They will be of high quality and inexpensive.D.They'll arrive in the right amount of recyclable packaging.1.____________2.__________3.__________4.__________。

Those who enjoy cooking.C. Those who are busy working.D. Those who like going camping.BMany people rush into the commitment of bringing home a four-legged family member, only to find out that they are not ready for a pet. This often results in the dog being turned over to a shelter where it may not find another home. This can be avoided if potential pet owners take the time to figure out if they are truly ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership.Being a responsible pet owner involves a financial commitment that goes beyond buying dog food. There are also parasite (寄生虫) prevention, boarding costs while traveling and the cost to care for the pet should it become ill or injured. That is not to say that one must be rich in order to have a dog, but it is important to be prepared for the expenses that come with being a pet owner.Another consideration is the time commitment. An owner away from home for 14 hours every day is not an ideal situation for a dog. A potential dog owner must also consider the time it takes to care for his or her pet, the time it takes to feed, walk, play with, bathe and clean up. Also, dogs require attention. Be prepared to spend time each day petting and playing with it.Dogs are dogs, and will act like dogs. This includes barking, digging, having accidents in the house and, possibly, destroying some of the owner’s prized possessions, such as furniture, shoes and cell phones. If the above would cause an owner to want to get rid ofthe dog, then he or she is not yet ready to be a pet owner. Many wonderful pets end up in shelters simply because they acted like dogs!。
