AJust because a cat can’t see, it doesn’t mean she can’t enjoy the great outdoors.Patrick Carl, a 28-year-old filmmaker from Cork City, Ireland, proved that in a beautiful video, in which he climbs a mountain with his blind cat, Stevie, at his side.To ensure Stevie’s safety, Carl has had to train her to walk on a leash (皮带) when she goes outside.“It took a lot of patience to do this thing,” Carl told The Huffington Post. He said walking on the leash is now “the norm” for her —“she makes it look so easy.”“I think Stevie is a very good cat and I wanted to capture (用镜头捕捉) how I truly felt about her and share that with the world in a meanin gful way,” Carl said.Carl got Stevie from Cork’s Animal Care Society about three years ago, after seeing an ad on social media saying that Stevie needed a home with a patient owner who could give her special care. In an earlier video about Stevie, Carl says that he has to make sure he keeps everything in his house in the exact same place so as to not confuse the blind cat.Carl explained that he was never really a cat person, but Stevie has changed him. “That’s not to say I didn’t like cats,” he said. “It’s just that up until I met Stevie, cats didn’t really take up any of my time. But now, it’s safe to say, I’ve been changed.”He added that Stevie is just one of many animals that have been rescued from shelters or on the streets. “She wouldn’t be here today if it hadn’t been for the unbelievable hard work of the Animal Care Society in Cork,” he said.1. What is wrong with the cat, Stevie?A. She is too fat to do exercise.B. She was once badly treated.C. She is blind and can’t see.D. She doesn’t like to go outside.2. Why does Carl tie a leash on Stevie?A. To avoid someone stealing her.B. To make sure she is safe while walking.C. To make sure she can walk easily.D. To avoid losing her when walking.3. Why does Carl arrange everything in the same place?A. He doesn’t want Stevie to make a mess.B. He wants to be more patient.C. He wants to train Stevie to get smarter.D. He wants to give Stevie a familiar home.4. What was Carl like before he met Stevie?A. He had never had a cat.B. He was very interested in cats.C. He didn’t like cats very much.D. He didn’t feel very safe.BIf your childhood memories are filled with summers spent chasing fireflies (萤火虫), then you’re going to love this new theme park in China. It is dedicated to the glowing insects that naturally light up their habitat at night.The park, located at the East Lake Peony Gard en in Wuhan City, central China’s Hubei Province, is home to about 10,000 fireflies. The insects are divided into five separate zones —the flying zone, the observation zone, the zero-distance contact zone, the breeding zone, and the science popularization (普及) zone. Each zone is meant to satisfy different categories of visitors, right from casual visitors to researchers.Breeding fireflies is a rather costly affair — around 10 yuan (US$1.61) per insect — but totally worth it from a business point of view, as the Chinese seem to be positively in love with them. They will pay a large amount of money to see the small insects twinkle at night, and tickets for such parks are usually sold out in several days as soon as they hit the market.Fireflies were a normal part of summer nights through most of China, but their numbers have been going down for years, as a result of pollution and destruction of their natural habitats. Taking advantage of this sad situation, businessmen have been setting up firefly parks (not all of them are environmentally friendly, and some even sell jars full of live fireflies online).Since fireflies are seasonal, the park opened on May 29 this year and continued to operate until early October. However, following the success it enjoyed this year, the Wuhan firefly park has become an annual event, and will open again next year.They’ve got lots of attractions at the park — dinosaur exhibitions, camping festivals, family walks and children’s activities, all held under the warm glow of fireflie s.5.

And that’s no shock, considering that France has been the center of the arts for centuries.As students of the arts, you will have to make careful use of your time, given all that France has to offer:●Visit the Louvre to view the works of French arti sts such as Monet, Matisse and Renoir;●Read the works of such French literary geniuses as Baudelaire, Proust and Voltaire;●Listen to the music of Debussy, or more contemporary (当代的) artists like Air and Daft Punk.France is also a main destination for architecture students, as you will see architecture in nearly every style:●The Gothic Chateau de Chambord, built in the 1500s;● Place Dauphine built in 1607 in Baroque style;● The post-modern housing development, Marne-la-Vallee.History students will find that France has been where the action is for quite some time. Over the course of the centuries, it has been the stage for the most important developments in the history of mankind, including the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and the rise of the Fifth Republic under President Charles de Gaulle. It was also the site of the D-Day invasion (诺曼底登陆) of World War II.As a possible study abroad location, France has a lot to offer, because the combination of educational institutions (教育机构), arts and culture, and national history are second to none.9. What can we learn about studying abroad in France from the text?A. Students from China are usually treated badly.B. There are many lectures and discussion classes.C. Few students choose to study in France.D. France is the best place for students who love the arts.10.

The text is most likely taken from _______.A. a history bookB. a study abroad websiteC. an architecture advertisementD. a fashion magazineD“When something is lovely, do we get the urge to squeeze（挤扁）it?” National Geographic’s Emily Tye asked Saturday’s Weird Animal Question of the Week. “Seems dangerous, in terms of evolution (进化)!”“Rest assured (毫无疑问)”, Emily said. “You’re not alone.”In a 2015 study in Psychological Science, Yale University psychologist Oriana Aragon and her team found that people who had extremely positive reactions to images of cute babies also “displayed stronger aggressive（侵略性的）expressions,” such as wa nting to pinch (捏) the babies’ cheeks.Speaking of pinching, another experiment in the recent study found that participants squeezed more bubble wrap when they saw images of cute baby animals than those who viewed images of older animals.This shows that, if given the chance to squeeze something while seeing the cute pictures, they would — though not with any real intent to harm the creatures.So what explains our impulse（冲动）to squeeze or gently bite lovely animals? For some people, experiencing a strong e motion is followed by “an expression of what one would think is an opposing feeling,” says Aragon. Here’s the science behind why we find some animals so cute.“So you may have tears of joy, nervous laughter, or may be wanting to squeeze something that you think is unbearably cute” —even if it’s an animal you’d normally want to hug or protect.That secondary reaction may also serve to weaken and temper (调和) their initial emotion that is too strong, thus bringing the person into balance.For instance, the 2015 study showed people who had such positive and negative concurrent (并存的) reactions regained their emotional balance more quickly.And if you’re caring for something lovely, that’s important. “Because they may help people to regain control over their strong emotions, these expressions help the caretaker to care for an animal or baby properly,” Aragon says.12.

AJust because a cat can’t see, it doesn’t mean she can’t enjoy the great outdoors.Patrick Carl, a 28-year-old filmmaker from Cork City, Ireland, proved that in a beautiful video, in which he climbs a mountain with his blind cat, Stevie, at his side.To ensure Stevie’s safety, Carl has had to train her to walk on a leash (皮带) when she goes outside.“It took a lot of patience to do this thing,” Carl told The Huffington Post. He said walking on the leash is now “the norm” for her —“she makes it look so easy.”“I think Stevie is a very good cat and I wanted to capture (用镜头捕捉) how I truly felt about her and share that with the world in a meaningful way,” Carl said.Carl got Stevie from Cork’s Animal Care Society about three years ago, after seeing an ad on social media saying that Stevie needed a home with a patient owner who could give her special care. In an earlier video about Stevie, Carl says that he has to make sure he keeps everything in his house in the exact same place so as to not confuse the blind cat.Carl explained that he was never really a cat person, but Stevie has changed him. “That’s not to say I didn’t like cats,” he said. “It’s just that up until I met Stevie, cats didn’t really take up any of my time. But now, it’s safe to say, I’ve been changed.”He added that Stevie is just one of many animals that have been rescued from shelters or on the streets. “She wouldn’t be here today if it hadn’t been for the unbelievable hard work of the Animal Care Society in Cork,” he said.1. What is wrong with the cat, Stevie?A. She is too fat to do exercise.B. She was once badly treated.C. She is blind and can’t see.D. She doesn’t like to go outside.2. Why does Carl tie a leash on Stevie?A. To avoid someone stealing her.B. To make sure she is safe while walking.C. To make sure she can walk easily.D. To avoid losing her when walking.3. Why does Carl arrange everything in the same place?A. He doesn’t want Stevie to make a mess.B. He wants to be more patient.C. He wants to train Stevie to get smarter.D. He wants to give Stevie a familiar home.4. What was Carl like before he met Stevie?A. He had never had a cat.B. He was very interested in cats.C. He didn’t like cats very much.D. He didn’t feel very safe.BIf your childhood memories are filled with summers spent chasing fireflies (萤火虫), then you’re going to love this new theme park in China. It is dedicated to the glowing insects that naturally light up their habitat at night.The park, located at the East Lake Peony Gard en in Wuhan City, central China’s Hubei Province, is home to about 10,000 fireflies. The insects are divided into five separate zones —the flying zone, the observation zone, the zero-distance contact zone, the breeding zone, and the science popularization (普及) zone. Each zone is meant to satisfy different categories of visitors, right from casual visitors to researchers.Breeding fireflies is a rather costly affair — around 10 yuan (US$1.61) per insect — but totally worth it from a business point of view, as the Chinese seem to be positively in love with them. They will pay a large amount of money to see the small insects twinkle at night, and tickets for such parks are usually sold out in several days as soon as they hit the market.Fireflies were a normal part of summer nights through most of China, but their numbers have been going down for years, as a result of pollution and destruction of their natural habitats.

A“Oh!” my grandmother would say. “Look at the time! There just aren’t enough hours in the day.” And then she would begin another chore (日常事务). My grandmother was a busy woman. She lived on a farm and had eight children. She was busy from dawn until dusk but she was always well-organized. She could accomplish (完成) in a day what most people couldn’t in a week.Make friends with time.My grandmother knew that time was important and that it shouldn’t be wasted. She knew that you shouldn’t put off until tomorrow the things you should do today. She knew that if you didn’t learn how to make friends with time, it would become your enemy.Time is an arrow.Time is like an arrow: it begins in the past, travels through the present and it aims directly at the future. When we are young we don’t think much about that. If anything, we think time stands still or moves too slowly: “Will the bell ever ring? Will this boring class ever end?” Of course, time does speed up when we’re trying to finish an exam: “ Five minutes left?!But I still have ten questions to answer!”Key to success.Managing your time is an important part of being successful. And many business people think that being able to use their time well is the key to their success.My grandmother wasn’t a business wom an but she was just as successful in managing her time.

It took her nearly 53 hours to complete the 103-mile swim.“You’re never too old to chase your dream,” Nyad said shortly after finishing the journey.This was Nyad’s fifth attempt (尝试) to complete the swim across the Florida Strait between America and the Caribbean islands. She first tried in 1978, and then made three more attempts in 2011 and 2012. What finally helped her succeed? She had trained for years, lifting weights and sometimes swimming for days at a time. But even more important than that, experts say, was her mind.“I think it was her belief in herself that she could do this,” Kathryn Olson, CEO of the Women’s Sports Foundation, told reporters.But Nyad didn’t do it alone. She had a team of experts who helped her along the way.Other swimmers had made the trip before, swimming inside shark cages, which protected them as they moved through the waters of the Florida Strait. But Nyad did not want to use a cage. So to help protect her from sea creatures, Nyad wore a full-body “jellyfish suit” and a protective mask. She had equipment that produced a faint electrical field around her to keep sharks away.Still, Nyad faced many challenges. She fought against high winds. And she drank a lot of seawater, which caused her to vomit (呕吐) all the time.For Nyad, it was all worth it to realize a lifelong dream.“The journey was dangerous, but it has brought lots of satisfaction,” she wrote on her blog. “I am so proud of my team, and… I am also very proud of myself.”8. To successfully swim across the Florida Strait, Nyad _____.A. designed a special suitB. made full preparationsC. swam in it every dayD. made a shark cage9.

Shy and single-mindedC. Confident and creativeD. Proud and self-centered.11. What would be the best title for the text?A. A jellyfish suit!B. A long journey!C. A historic swim!D. A lifelong dream!DWe try to give our children so much but sometimes forget to give them the greatest gift, the ability to feel grateful(感激的). Without that, we can never give them enough. Gratitude(感激) can be expressed for anything---the sight of beautiful clouds, our warm home, or a nice meal.Many of our own parents tried to make us feel grateful by pointing out the hungry children in some far-off land. This often resulted in us offering to send those children the unpleasant clothes or ugly tennis shoes. Just have a look around us, we know how this happened. All around are material things that they (and we) are led to believe we must have—that we have a right to have.The most important is simply being an example of being grateful for the things in our own lives. In my work as a school psychologist, a mother with a 9-year-old came to see me for help. We worked out a way to teach him to feel gratitude---but not to say how fortunate he was. She started by talking about what had gone on in her day that she was grateful for: a friend who praised her work or the quiet evening without too much washing. Then she asked him if anything good happened in his day. He got the idea, shared a few things, and it soon became a habit. So along with all the things on the wish lists, we can add another one: gratitude. It might even help to start by letting our kids know that, regardless of(不管) their appearance, their scores, or their abilities, they are a source (来源) of gratitude in our lives.12. According to the author, gratitude______.A. may come from everyday lifeB. should come first on the wish listsC. is more important than kids’ scoresD. must be taught by teachers in school13. Paragraph 2 is mainly about_______.A. the situation of children in poor areasB. the skill of choosing and sending giftsC. the difference between right and wrongD. the reason for childr en’s feeling ungrateful14. The story of the 9-year-old boy is mainly to show that_____.A. parents should teach their children to forget bad things in lifeB. parents should set an example to children to feel gratefulC. parents should tell their children how lucky they areD. parents should praise their children quite often15. In which part of a website can we probably find the text?A. News.B. Jobs.C. Family.D. Arts.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。
