William Burk, a pet food specialist from the Food and Drug Administration （FDA）, believes that feeding raw meat to pets is against its goal of protecting the public from health dangers, and that raw meat and bones do not have all the required nutrition（营养） that a pet needs every day.Learning how popular these foods are, the FDA has provided guidelines （指南）for producers of pet foods which contain uncooked meat for dogs, cats and other pets. The guidelines give r ules to protect pet owners and pets from dangers about food safety and lack of nutrition.Pet owners who feed raw meat and bones to their pets should deal with these products very carefully to protect themselves against possible dangers, says Burk. Just as when you are preparing foods for human beings, use hot water and soap to wash your hands, containers, and surfaces that come into contact with the food. Don’t put your hands near your mouth until you have washed them, and don’t allow your pet to touch your face right after it has eaten raw meat.“If pet owners choose to feed bones to their pets, they should watch their pets carefully when they are eating bones,” Burk says. “If a pet eats a big piece of bone that won’t pass through its digestive system（消化系统）, it is like ly to kill the pet.”5.

Apparently(显然地) every successful person develops a passion for reading. This is because reading is important to get the information required to understand something. For instance, lawyers have to study and learn every established(确立的) law on their specific branches（分支）. Sometimes the law changes according to people’s needs. A good lawyer has to be informed about the latest news in the court. A doctor has to be informed of the latest advances in medicine.Reading is very important for all mankind. Everything is relative in this world, especially reading. Reading can open many doors and it can lead you into a path of success. Studies have confirmed（证实） that reading to your unborn child is very good. This way your child will develop a passion （热爱）for reading.How do you develop a passion for reading? There is only one way you can develop yourpassion for reading. Let me explain this to you. If you want to learn how to ride a bike, you have to get on the bike as many times as possible until you have learned. It works the same way with reading. If you want to boost your reading, take a book and read it all the way through. When you finish reading your first book, take another book and do the same. Try to read as much as you can. If you are going out, grab a magazine, a book, an article or something to read.There is a very important factor behind the reading—reading comprehension（阅读理解）. It’s what makes you understand the meaning behind the text. Let’s assume(假设) that you read a document and you are supposed to explain the meaning of the document. How would you explain the document if you couldn’t understand the message of the author? 9．The first two paragraphs mainly talk about .A. the key to successB. the importance of readingC. what reading comprehension isD. how to develop a passion for reading10．We can define reading comprehension as .A. a strong passion for readingB. the latest information in readingC. a very important factor behind the readingD. something that makes people understand what they read11．The author develops the passage mainly by .A. following the natural time orderB. presentin g opinions and giving examplesC. comparing the opinions of different peopleD. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects12．What do you suppose the following paragraph will talk about ?A. Popular reading websites.B. Famous people who love reading.C. The importance of reading at school.D. Ways to improve reading comprehension.DSchool children are using mobile phone applications （手机应用程序）to do their homework, which seem to be increasing during summer vacations. But instead of blaming (责备)students for their behavior, we should say no to too much homework. This is important because by using mobile phone applications to do their homework, students don't add much to their knowledge, says an article in Guangzhou-based Yangcheng Evening News. Excerpts (摘录): Using mobile phone applications to do homework is no different from copying from someone else's work. This is the opinion of a vast majority of teachers. Students who seek cell phone apps help to do their homework will suffer during major exams when they cannot seek the help of such applications, the teachers say.The heavy load（负担） of homework Chinese students are burdened with, said to be the heaviest in the world,has led to the popularity of these applications.Senior high school students in China rarely（很少） go to bed before 11 pm. A reportin Shanghai published in2013 showed that students in the city on average spend 28.2 hours in class every week, the 9th highest among 65 countries and regions surveyed. Also, they spend an average of 13.8 hours a week doing homework, most in the world.There is no association（联系） between the amount of homework one does and the amount of knowledge one gathers. In fact, a research by Australian experts shows that the result is exactly the opposite: the more hours students spend doing homework, the less effective （有效的） they will be in gaining knowledge.The United States is one of the countries where students do little homework, but that has not damaged the country's academic status in the world.So, it's time Chinese schools understood this fact and freed students of the unnecessary burden of homework.13. What’s the writer’s attitude toward the students’using mobile phone applications to do their homework?A. SupportingB. UnderstandingC. ScoldingD. Praising14. The cause of the students’ using mobile phone appli cations to do their homework is______.A. the heavy burden of homeworkB. the advance of modern technologyC. the pressure of the students’ parentsD. the influence of other countries15. Which of the following is probably the best title?A. Rid kids of the burden of homework.B. Stop using mobile phones to do homework.C. Spend less time to gain much knowledge.D. Improve China’s academic status in the world.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。
