On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (花暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwan d says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be cousing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
24. What does the project aim to do
A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C. Forecast disastrous hailstorms. D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
25. Who are opposed to the project
A. Farmers in east-central Alberta. B. Managers of insurance companies.
C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton
26. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D. To show the link between storms and moisture.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
C
All we know about the abandoned (被抛弃的) newborn cat that made news for its genetic rareness comes from a web. A user named Vodkaholy posted a handful of photos of the tiny cat with a few background details.
No one knows how the newborn cat ended up in a rubbish bag, but it is very common for heartless people to abandon cats they choose not to care for. Luckily, Vodkaholy’s aunt heard the tiny mews that the cat was letting out. It appears she was the one who rescued the baby, who was only a week old. Not only had the cat been immediately abandoned after it was born, but it was injured and had developed a serious illness. Just a few days old, it had a broken leg and a badly injured paw (爪). Sadly, after the cat’s rescuer took it to the vet (兽医), they found out that the paw couldn’t be saved.
No doubt it was a shock to find such a sad cat abandoned in the rubbish bag, but the vet had another big surprise for the woman. It was a male calico cat (花斑猫)! The vet said it was really scarce for calico cats to be male. However, it won’t be a dad to any more calico cats. It was born with some kind of illness, but the vet said it’s normal for male calico cats. “Except for that, it is a normal happy cat, healthy as a horse,” Vodkaholy said.
Vodkaholy’s aunt is keeping the cat. It grows healthy and happy even if it only has 3 paws. And it is not the first cat this sweet aunt has brought home.
28. What can we infer about the abandoned cat
A. It had three paws at birth. B. It was abandoned by a naughty boy.
C. It was in bad condition when it was found. D. It called loudly when Vodkaholy passed by.
29. What can we say about Vodkaholy’s aunt
A. She is warm-hearted and caring. B. She is smart but impatient.
C. She is hard-working but rude. D. She is kind and curious.
30. What does the underlined word “scarce” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Graceful. B. Challenging. C. Frightening. D. Unusual.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. A Funny Story of a Kind Aunt B. A Young Cat Lost Its Way Home
C. A Kind Lady Saved a Cat in a Dustbin D. A Kind Lady Asking for Help on the Internet
D
A famous company’s leader believes there’s only one way to know if you truly understand a subject: Can you explain it to a child But the man with lifelong love of math recently found it didn’t always go well when he tried explaining mathematical concepts(概念)to his then-school-aged children.
He thinks that learning with kids to see what’s puzzling to them and what’s easy for them are the final test of whether you know a topic—whether you can explain it.
Teachers often ask students to give a statement on a subject to show that they understand it. Studies show that people are more likely to remember and understand concepts they’ve learned after explaining them to someone else or even to themselves.That means you can testyour own knowledge in a subject simply by trying to teach it to a friend,to see both how much information you’ve kept and how well you actually understand its concepts. If they successfully learn from you, it’s a good sign that you’re on the right track.
The leader, who studied math and computer science at university, noted that while hewas personally good at math as a high school student, he had trouble passing that enthusiasm(热情)to his three kids.
He loves doing math, but in the past his younger daughter would always say that he made it so complicated (复杂的) and he didn’t need to explain this to her. Because she just wanted to know the answer.
Today, his three children are all in their 20s.While they may not have enjoyed the math lessons, he says that one of his favorite things is teaching calculus(微积分)to the kids.There are a few very difficult concepts in calculus.He must explain why calculus is so important and why calculus has those funny symbols. It’s crazy and it’s probably the thing he enjoys the most.
32. What happened to the leader recently
A. He explained Chinese well.
B. He developed his lifelong love of math.
C. He met a challenge in playing with his kids.
D. He had trouble explaining mathematical concepts to his kids.
33. What does the author encourage people to do in paragraph 3
A. Communicate with others actively.
B Build relationship with others.
C. Manage to describe themselves.
D. Know about their own learning by teaching others.
34. What did the leader’s younger daughter care about
A. Describing an example. B. Learning with her father.
C. Getting the final answer. D. Keeping enthusiasm high.
35. What does the leader think of his teaching calculus to his children
A. It brings him happiness. B. It helps his kids grow.
C. It gives him a lesson. D. It improves his maths.

Abby Jaramillo never lost her enthusiasm. She believed that with age came courage, vision (远见卓识) and a true appreciation of life — all life. That’s why, at the age of eighty-six, Abby became the only caretaker of a flock of chickens abandoned alongside one of Southern California’s busiest freeways. The chickens were never rescued. Instead, they simply lived in the roadside bushes, becoming known to locals as the Hollywood Freeway Chickens.
Like many seniors, Abby lived alone and survived on a small amount of money. But to her, life was precious and not to be cruelly given up or ignored-not even the lives of abandoned chickens. Abby simply saw creatures in need and without hesitation, stepped into action. For nine years, while others sped past unaware and unconcerned, Abby made two visits a day to provide food and water for the abandoned chickens, using what little money she had available. As the years passed, she worried about the day when she would no longer be able to care for her adopted chickens and her cat Tiffy. Who would look after these poor helpless creatures if she could no longer make her journey
At ninety-five, just when the cruelties of time began to damage Abby’s body, a heroine (女英雄) appeared. Alice Kahn, a young actress and a founding member of the organization Actors and Others for Animals, was Abby’s neighbor. Alice had observed Abby and noticed that the older woman also fed many of the homeless cats in the neighborhood. Alice approached Abby to see if her neighbor could identify the owner of a stray (走失的) dog that Alice had recently rescued. A quick and lasting friendship resulted.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Learning of Abby’s concern for the fate of her flock, Alice volunteered to help
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Abby is gone now, but her concern for her fellow creatures lives on.

M: I have been listening to you playing the piano in the apartment for a while, and I’m glad you have made improvements. However, I need a long sleep on weekends. It’s only 6:30 a.m. now. It’s fine on weekdays because I get up at 6:00 a.m. anyway. On weekends, I’d really appreciate it if you could hold off until 8:30 a.m. and sing in a low voice.
W: Sorry about that. I will have a piano competition next week, so I have been preparing for it. I didn’t realize that it had a bad influence on your sleep. I will put off practicing the piano until 9:00 a.m.
M: You know, weekends are always the time when we can get more sleep.
W: I see your point. I know the way you feel. We have different schedules.
M: OK, it’s very kind of you. Have a nice day!
W: Thank you.

On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (花暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwan d says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be cousing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
24. What does the project aim to do
A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C. Forecast disastrous hailstorms. D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
25. Who are opposed to the project
A. Farmers in east-central Alberta. B. Managers of insurance companies.
C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton
26. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D. To show the link between storms and moisture.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了1991年9月7日，加拿大历史上损失最大的冰雹袭击了卡尔加里的南郊。因此，自1996年以来，一组保险公司每年在艾伯塔省冰雹抑制项目上花费约200万美元。飞机在有威胁的风暴中心中播撒一种化学物质，使小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前像雨一样落下。但是，在艾伯塔省中东部的农民们担心，“冰雹计划”飞行的下风处，宝贵的水分正被人工降雨从他们干渴的土地上偷走。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project.

25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.(但是，在艾伯塔省中东部的农民们担心，“冰雹计划”飞行的下风处，宝贵的水分正被人工降雨从他们干渴的土地上偷走)”可知，艾伯塔省中东部的农民反对这个项目。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes (龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”(查克·多斯韦尔是一位刚刚从俄克拉何马大学退休的研究科学家，他对人工降雨的安全性持怀疑态度。“1999年，我在堪萨斯州亲眼目睹了由种子风暴细胞形成的重大龙卷风，”多斯韦尔博士说。“人工降雨会制造致命风暴还是减少顺风处的水分？当然，没有人真正知道，但是播种还在继续。”)”可推知，多斯韦尔博士提到他在1999年看到的龙卷风是为了提示人工降雨可能带来的危险。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.(考虑到质疑的程度，斯廷旺德建议，“停止人工降雨是明智的。”在实践中，怀疑产生了相反的效果。由于缺乏有关其影响的科学证据，没有人成功地赢得了对人工降雨公司的诉讼。因此，私人气候工程可以在相对合法的安全条件下进行)”可推知，从最后一段我们能推断出人工降雨公司将继续存在。故选D项。
C
All we know about the abandoned (被抛弃) newborn cat that made news for its genetic rareness comes from a web. A user named Vodkaholy posted a handful of photos of the tiny cat with a few background details.
No one knows how the newborn cat ended up in a rubbish bag, but it is very common for heartless people to abandon cats they choose not to care for. Luckily, Vodkaholy’s aunt heard the tiny mews that the cat was letting out. It appears she was the one who rescued the baby, who was only a week old. Not only had the cat been immediately abandoned after it was born, but it was injured and had developed a serious illness. Just a few days old, it had a broken leg and a badly injured paw (爪). Sadly, after the cat’s rescuer took it to the vet (兽医), they found out that the paw couldn’t be saved.
No doubt it was a shock to find such a sad cat abandoned in the rubbish bag, but the vet had another big surprise for the woman. It was a male calico cat (花斑猫)! The vet said it was really scarce for calico cats to be male. However, it won’t be a dad to any more calico cats. It was born with some kind of illness, but the vet said it’s normal for male calico cats. “Except for that, it is a normal happy cat, healthy as a horse,” Vodkaholy said.
Vodkaholy’s aunt is keeping the cat. It grows healthy and happy even if it only has 3 paws. And it is not the first cat this sweet aunt has brought home.
28. What can we infer about the abandoned cat
A. It had three paws at birth. B. It was abandoned by a naughty boy.
C. It was in bad condition when it was found. D. It called loudly when Vodkaholy passed by.
29. What can we say about Vodkaholy’s aunt
A. She is warm-hearted and caring. B. She is smart but impatient.
C. She is hard-working but rude. D. She is kind and curious.
30. What does the underlined word “scarce” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Graceful. B. Challenging. C. Frightening. D. Unusual.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. A Funny Story of a Kind Aunt B. A Young Cat Lost Its Way Home
C. A Kind Lady Saved a Cat in a Dustbin D. A Kind Lady Asking for Help on the Internet
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Vodkaholy的姨妈救助了一只被遗弃在垃圾桶中的小猫咪，这只猫被发现时状况很糟糕，经兽医检查后被发现是只罕见雄性的花斑猫，现在被姨妈照顾地很好。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Not only had the cat been immediately abandoned after it was born, but it was injured and had developed a serious illness. Just a few days old, it had a broken leg and a badly injured paw (爪). Sadly, after the cat’s rescuer took it to the vet (兽医), they found out that the paw couldn’t be saved. (这只猫不仅在出生后立即被遗弃，而且还受伤并患上了严重的疾病。刚出生几天，它就断了一条腿，爪子严重受伤。可悲的是，当猫的救援者把它带到兽医那里后，他们发现爪子已经无法挽救了)”可知，这只被遗弃的猫当时断了一条腿，爪子严重受伤，无法挽救，还患有严重的疾病。由此可知，当它被发现时，情况很糟糕。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Luckily, Vodkaholy’s aunt heard the tiny mews that the cat was letting out. It appears she was the one who rescued the baby, who was only a week old. (幸运的是，Vodkaholy的姨妈听到了猫发出的微小的叫声。似乎是她救了这个只有一周大的小猫咪)”和最后一段“Vodkaholy’s aunt is keeping the cat. It grows healthy and happy even if it only has 3 paws. And it is not the first cat this sweet aunt has brought home. (Vodkaholy的姨妈在养这只猫。虽然它只有3只爪子，它成长得健康而快乐。这不是这位善良的阿姨带回家的第一只猫了)”可知，Vodkaholy的姨妈救助了被遗弃的小猫咪，用心地把它养得很好，而且她以前也救助过其他的猫。由此可知，她很热心，富有爱心。故选A项。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中“All we know about the abandoned (被抛弃的) newborn cat that made news for its genetic rareness comes from a web. (我们所知道的那只因基因罕见而成为新闻的被遗弃的新生猫的消息都来自网络)”、画线词的上文“the vet had another big surprise for the woman (兽医还为这位女士准备了另一个大惊喜)”和下文“for calico cats to be male (花斑猫是雄性的)”可推知，惊喜之处在于这只猫的基因，雄性的花斑猫应该很罕见，scarce意思应该是“罕见的，少见的”，与unusual意思相近。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了Vodkaholy的姨妈救助了一只被遗弃在垃圾桶中的小猫咪的故事，并介绍了小猫咪的一些信息，包括其被发现时状况很糟糕，以及它是只罕见雄性的花斑猫。由此可知，C项“一位善良的女士在垃圾桶里救了一只猫”概括了文章大意，最适合作为标题。故选C项。

A famous company’s leader believes there’s only one way to know if you truly understand a subject: Can you explain it to a child But the man with lifelong love of math recently found it didn’t always go well when he tried explaining mathematical concepts(概念)to his then-school-aged children.
He thinks that learning with kids to see what’s puzzling to them and what’s easy for them are the final test of whether you know a topic—whether you can explain it.
Teachers often ask students to give a statement on a subject to show that they understand it. Studies show that people are more likely to remember and understand concepts they’ve learned after explaining them to someone else or even to themselves.That means you can testyour own knowledge in a subject simply by trying to teach it to a friend,to see both how much information you’ve kept and how well you actually understand its concepts. If they successfully learn from you, it’s a good sign that you’re on the right track.
The leader, who studied math and computer science at university, noted that while hewas personally good at math as a high school student, he had trouble passing that enthusiasm(热情)to his three kids.
He loves doing math, but in the past his younger daughter would always say that he made it so complicated (复杂的) and he didn’t need to explain this to her. Because she just wanted to know the answer.
Today, his three children are all in their 20s.While they may not have enjoyed the math lessons, he says that one of his favorite things is teaching calculus(微积分)to the kids.There are a few very difficult concepts in calculus.He must explain why calculus is so important and why calculus has those funny symbols. It’s crazy and it’s probably the thing he enjoys the most.
32. What happened to the leader recently
A. He explained Chinese well.
B. He developed his lifelong love of math.
C. He met a challenge in playing with his kids.
D. He had trouble explaining mathematical concepts to his kids.
33. What does the author encourage people to do in paragraph 3
A. Communicate with others actively.
B. Build relationship with others.
C. Manage to describe themselves.
D. Know about their own learning by teaching others.
34. What did the leader’s younger daughter care about
A. Describing an example. B. Learning with her father.
C. Getting the final answer. D. Keeping enthusiasm high.
35. What does the leader think of his teaching calculus to his children
A. It brings him happiness. B. It helps his kids grow.
C. It gives him a lesson. D. It improves his maths.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章通过一个著名公司的领导人的想法：想要理解一个科目，就把介绍给孩子们，解释了人们在向别人甚至自己解释后，更有可能记住和理解他们所学到的概念。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“But the man with lifelong love of math recently found it didn’t always go well when he tried explaining mathematical concepts(概念)to his then-school-aged children.(但这位毕生热爱数学的人最近发现，当他试图向当时还在上学的孩子们解释数学概念时，并不总是很顺利。)”可知，这位领导发现他很难向孩子们解释数学概念。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段内容“Studies show that people are more likely to remember and understand concepts they’ve learned after explaining them to someone else or even to themselves. That means you can test your own knowledge in a subject simply by trying to teach it to a friend, to see both how much information you’ve kept and how well you actually understand its concepts. If they successfully learn from you, it’s a good sign that you’re on the right track.(研究表明，人们在向别人甚至自己解释后，更有可能记住和理解他们所学到的概念。这意味着你可以通过简单地把某一学科的知识教给朋友来测试你自己的知识，看看你掌握了多少信息，以及你对概念的实际理解程度。如果他们成功地向你学习，这是一个好迹象，表明你走在正确的道路上。)”可知，作者鼓励通过教别人了解自己的学习。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“He loves doing math, but in the past his younger daughter would always say that he made it so complicated(复杂的)and he didn’t need to explain this to her. Because she just wanted to know the answer.(他喜欢做数学，但在过去，他的小女儿总是说他把数学弄得那么复杂，他不需要向她解释。因为她只是想知道答案。)”可知，作者的小女儿在乎的只是最终的答案。故选C。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“he says that one of his favorite things is teaching calculus(微积分)to the kids. There are a few very difficult concepts in calculus. He must explain why calculus is so important and why calculus has those funny symbols. It’s crazy and it’s probably the thing he enjoys the most.(他说他最喜欢的事情之一就是教孩子们微积分。微积分中有几个非常难的概念。他必须解释为什么微积分如此重要，为什么微积分有那些有趣的符号。这太疯狂了，这可能是他最喜欢的事情。)”可知，这个领导人认为教孩子们微积分给他带来快乐。故选A。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Abby Jaramillo never lost her enthusiasm. She believed that with age came courage, vision (远见卓识) and a true appreciation of life — all life. That’s why, at the age of eighty-six, Abby became the only caretaker of a flock of chickens abandoned alongside one of Southern California’s busiest freeways. The chickens were never rescued. Instead, they simply lived in the roadside bushes, becoming known to locals as the Hollywood Freeway Chickens.
Like many seniors, Abby lived alone and survived on a small amount of money. But to her, life was precious and not to be cruelly given up or ignored-not even the lives of abandoned chickens. Abby simply saw creatures in need and without hesitation, stepped into action. For nine years, while others sped past unaware and unconcerned, Abby made two visits a day to provide food and water for the abandoned chickens, using what little money she had available. As the years passed, she worried about the day when she would no longer be able to care for her adopted chickens and her cat Tiffy. Who would look after these poor helpless creatures if she could no longer make her journey
At ninety-five, just when the cruelties of time began to damage Abby’s body, a heroine (女英雄) appeared. Alice Kahn, a young actress and a founding member of the organization Actors and Others for Animals, was Abby’s neighbor. Alice had observed Abby and noticed that the older woman also fed many of the homeless cats in the neighborhood. Alice approached Abby to see if her neighbor could identify the owner of a stray (走失的) dog that Alice had recently rescued. A quick and lasting friendship resulted.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Learning of Abby’s concern for the fate of her flock, Alice volunteered to help. Alice located a farm where the chickens would be able to live out their natural lives, and organized a rescue party to capture the birds. This was a demanding task that tested Alice’s patience and determination and Abby’s will to live. Finally, chickens settled into their new home. She also found a good home for Abby’s cat, Tiffy, and made sure that the stray cats had been put on the right track. Unluckily, Abby was forced to lie in the hospital after a series of strokes.
Abby is gone now, but her concern for her fellow creatures lives on. Inspired by her courage and selflessness, Alice decided to do more and founded an organization with a group of like-minded people to rescue and shelter homeless pets, offering them loving homes or life-saving foods. With the increasing involvement of people from all walks of life, the living conditions of the little ones have largely improved. They are lucky enough not to be exposed to extreme elements, placed in danger of being harmed or abused, and suffer from untreated injuries and illnesses. They are now under the wings of those who share with them the same planet. (190words)
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了86岁的Abby Jaramillo成为一群被遗弃在南加州最繁忙的高速公路旁的鸡的唯一看护者。这些鸡再也没有获救。相反，它们只是住在路边的灌木丛中，被当地人称为好莱坞高速公路鸡。而Abby的行为也感动了邻居Alice Kahn，两人一起投身到救助动物的行列中。
