三、阅读理解（每小题2分，满分20 分）
A
Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising there are many expressions about cats. Do you know any of them? Now let me introduce some to you.
Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries. If someone looks very proud or satisfied with himself, we say he looks like the cat that ate the canary.
Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you play cat and mouse with someone, you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a child might offer somethin g sweet to her little brother, and then take it away when he reaches for it.
A cat will often catch a small animal and present it to its owner. The saying that looks like something the cat dragged in describes something in bad condition.
A fat cat is a person with a lot of money.

_________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________
原因状语从句和because of的用法
1、b ecause, as, since这几个词是表示“原因”的连词，语气由强到弱依次为
because as since 他们均为从属连词。

（1）because表示直接原因，它所指的原因通常是听话人所不知道的，其语气最强。

常用来回答why引导的问句，一般放于主句之后，也可以单独使用。

I stayed at home because it rained. 因为下雨，所以我待在家里。

（2）Since侧重主句，从句表示显然的或已为人所知的理由，常译为“因为，既然‘，语气比because稍弱，通常置于句首，表示一种含勉强语气的原因。

Since everyone is here, let’s start. 既然大家都到齐了，咱们就开始吧。

（3）As是常用词，它表示的是双方已知的事实或显而易见的原因。

含义与since相同，语气更弱，没有since正式，常译为”由于，鉴于”，从句说明原因，主句说明结果，主从并重。

We all like her as she is kind. 我们都喜欢她，因为她善良。

2、because of 是介词短语，其后可接名词、代词或动名词以及由关系代词what引导的从句。

He lost his job because of his age. 由于年龄关系他失去了工作。
