Songkran
Duration: from April 12 to 15, 2020 in Phuket (The dates vary depending on the regions).
Location: Songkran is the Thai New Year. The entire country gets a lot of days off, and most Thai people will be going back home to celebrate Songkran with their families. Just expect a lot of traffic jams on the road as everyone is out on pick-up trucks, throwing water at each other.
Details: Staring in the early morning on April 13th, the water ceremony will take many forms. Initially, you are only supposed to sprinkle (洒) your family with a tiny cup of water at home. It’s good luck. Then you sprinkle a statue of Buddha very respectfully and do a little pray.
Later in the morning, the game starts to change. Because this is the hottest time of the year, sprinkling each other with water is a lot of fun. Add a little beer to that and Songkran turns into a country-wide water war.
It starts rather gently in Phuket Town around 10 am, turning to water dogfights (混战) in the afternoon in Patong, Kata and Karon, and ends full-scale wet war zone in Bangla Road until late at night.
Survival Tips:
★ Don’t drive a bike if you can avoid it. It’s slippery and the tendency to close eyes when water is thrown at you is dangerous.
★ Get a waterproof camera
★ Be aware of major traffic jams in towns, mostly in Patong Beach.
★ Don’t carry anything that doesn’t resist water.
★ Don’t wear expensive clothing.
★ Be aware of the sun!
★ Have fun! Don’t take it too seriously, it’s good.
1. Why do traffic jams happen during Sognkran
A. The road is slippery.
B. The entire country gets a lot of days off.
C. The people are throwing water at each other.
D. Everyone is sprinkling his family on the road.
2. What’s the first step to celebrate Songkran
A. Doing a little pray. B. Sprinkling a statue of Buddha.
C. Sprinkling family with a little water. D. Sprinkling each other with much beer.
3. Which of the following is recommended during Songkran
A. Carrying an umbrella. B. Wearing cheap clothes.
C. Bringing some cash. D. Riding a bicycle
【答案】1. C 2. C 3. B
【解析】

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Just expect a lot of traffic jams on the road as everyone is out on pick-up trucks, throwing water at each other.”可知，因为每个人都在外面的皮卡车上相互泼水，所以道路上交通堵塞严重。由此可出，在泼水节期间发生交通堵塞是因为人们在相互泼水。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Initially, you are only supposed to sprinkle (洒) your family with a tiny cup of water at home.”可知，一开始你应该向你的家人洒一小杯水。由此可出，庆祝泼水节的第一步是给家人洒点水。故选C项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Survival Tips部分句子“Don’t wear expensive clothing.”可知，不要穿贵的衣服。由此可知，在泼水节期间，推荐穿便宜点儿的衣服。故选B项。

It would be easy to believe that Mother’s Day was created by a greeting card company. After all, the day is celebrated with special sales and brunches, lots of presents and massive advertising campaigns. But the day was actually conceived more than a century ago by Anna Jarvis of West Virginia as a way of honoring the sacrifices mothers made for their children.
Jarvis’s mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, helped start “Mothers’ Day Work Clubs,” teaching women how to care for their children. During the Civil War, she organized “Mothers’ Friendship Day,” where mothers of Union and Confederate soldiers met to try to promote harmony. The younger Jarvis Was inspired by all the things her mother had accomplished with her social work.
When Jarvis was young, she overheard her mother praying, “I hope and pray that someone, sometime, will find a memorial mother’s day honoring her for the matchless service she offers to humanity in every field of life.” When her mom died in 1905, Jarvis looked through all the sympathy cards she received. She underlined all the kind words that praised her mother, reading them over and over. The outpouring of kindness for her mother inspired her to create a day to honor all mothers.
The white carnation was her mother’s favorite flower, so it became the symbol for the day. She said it symbolized the truth, purity and charity of a mother’s love. Her idea of celebrating Mother’s Day was wearing a carnation while visiting your mother or maybe going to church together. Children were also encouraged to write letters to their mothers, sharing the depths of their appreciation.
The first official Mother’s Day events were held on May 10. 1908, at the church where her mother taught Sunday School in Grafton, West Virginia, and at the Wanamaker’s department store auditorium（礼堂）in Philadelphia. Jarvis didn’t attend the event in Grafton, but she sent 500 white carnations.
4. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “conceived” in paragraph 1
A. Thought up B. Figured out.
C. Found out. D. Believed in.
5. What do we know about Jarvis’s mother
A. She created Mother’s Day. B. She was active in social work.
C. She joined in the American Civil War. D. She taught Jarvis how to care for children.
6. How did Jarvis advise children to celebrate Mother’s Day
A. Pray for their mother’s happiness. B. Send some flowers to their mothers.
C. Write a letter to thank their mothers. D. Accompany their mothers to the celebration.
7. Which can be the best title of this text
A. A Memorable Mother B. Carnation and Mother’s Day
C. The Greatness of a Mother D. The Founding of Mother’s Day
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】

【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文中第一段“It would be easy to believe that Mother’s Day was created by a greeting card company.”（人们很容易相信母亲节是由一家贺卡公司创造的。）以及划线句子开头的But可知，前后表转折，推知，母亲节并不是贺卡公司创造，而是由Anna Jarvis创造的。conceived应与create意思相近，A项Thought up意为想出；发明。符合题意。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中第二段“Jarvis’s mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, helped start “Mothers’ Day Work Clubs,” teaching women how to care for their children. During the Civil War, she organized “Mothers’ Friendship Day,” where mothers of Union and Confederate soldiers met to try to promote harmony. The younger Jarvis Was inspired by all the things her mother had accomplished with her social work.”（贾维斯的母亲Ann Reeves Jarvis帮助成立了母亲节工作俱乐部，教会妇女们如何照顾她们的孩子。在美国内战期间，她组织了母亲友谊日，在这一天，联邦和联邦士兵的母亲们聚在一起，试图促进和谐。小贾维斯的灵感来自于她母亲在社会工作中所做的一切。）可知，贾维斯的妈妈积极参加社会工作。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中第四段“Her idea of celebrating Mother’s Day was wearing a carnation while visiting your mother or maybe going to church together. Children were also encouraged to write letters to their mothers, sharing the depths of their appreciation.”（她的庆祝母亲节的想法是在拜访你的母亲或一起去教堂时佩戴康乃馨。孩子们也被鼓励给他们的母亲写信，分享他们内心深处的感激。）可知，贾维斯建议孩子们写一封信感谢他们的母亲来庆祝母亲节。故选C项。
【7题详解】

Consumers may soon find meat on restaurant menus that has never walked the earth—grown from cell to fillet (肉块). The product, called “cultured” or “cultivated” meat, is reaching more plates. Cultivated chicken has been sold in a Singapore restaurant since 2020, and recently the Department of Agriculture approved the sale of cultured chicken in the United States. More than 150 businesses worldwide are working to put beef, fish, and pork on the market, too.
Cultured meat begins as a cell from an egg or a piece of traditionally butchered meat. Fed with certain nutrients for two or three weeks, the meat is processed into forms that consumers are familiar with. “Initial research is in a lab, but the meat is made in a production facility.” says Josh Tetrick, CEO of Good Meat, one of the USDA-approved cultured chicken manufacturers. The company has made public their own nutrient analysis, evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, which reveals that the nutritional profiles of their products are almost identical to conventional meats.
By alleviating the raising and killing of animals, cultured meat companies say their product helps reduce animal cruelty and will be better for the environment. Their process uses far less land because there’s no need to house animals or grow their feed. Cultured beef, especially, could reduce the number of cattle on farms-a significant source of methane emissions. However, some studies contradicted that cultured meat may also require greater energy usage than conventional production. Much of the environmental impact will depend on whether the energy used is renewable and on the efficiency of future production technology.
Given a growing consumer consciousness around animal rights and climate change, supporters foresee a future meat market where consumers will choose between different kinds of conventional meat, cultured meat, and plant-based alternatives. Approved sale of cultivated chicken in the U.S. is a landmark moment, but not yet a revolution. While cultured meat’s widespread consumption and impact on the economy seem a step closer to reality, scientists, philosophers, and the product’s own manufacturers acknowledge years of work lie ahead.
8. What’s the first paragraph mainly about
A. The official approval of meat marketing.
B. The growing popularity of meat products.
C. The increasing promotion of cultured meat.
D. The widespread consumption of cultured chicken.
9. In what way is cultured meat similar to conventional meat
A. Initial forms. B. Production efficiency.
C. Nutritional contents. D. Consumption prospect.
10. Why does the author mention cultured beef in paragraph 3
A. To explain the process of raising animals.
B. To compare cultured meat and conventional meat.
C. To emphasize the environmental benefits of cultured meat.
D. To highlight the significance of reducing methane emissions.
11. What attitude do scientists hold for the future consumption of cultured meat
A. Cautious. B. Confident. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“By alleviating the raising and killing of animals, cultured meat companies say their product helps reduce animal cruelty and will be better for the environment. Their process uses far less land because there’s no need to house animals or grow their feed. Cultured beef, especially, could reduce the number of cattle on farms-a significant source of methane emissions(人造肉公司表示，通过减少饲养和杀害动物，他们的产品有助于减少虐待动物的行为，对环境也有好处。他们的生产过程占用的土地要少得多，因为不需要饲养动物或种植饲料。尤其是人造牛肉，可以减少农场上牛的数量——这是甲烷排放的一个重要来源)”可知，作者在第3段提到人造牛肉是为了强调培养肉的环境效益。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While cultured meat’s widespread consumption and impact on the economy seem a step closer to reality, scientists, philosophers, and the product’s own manufacturers acknowledge years of work lie ahead.(虽然人造肉的广泛消费和对经济的影响似乎离现实更近了一步，但科学家、哲学家和该产品的制造商承认，未来还有多年的工作要做。)”可知，科学家对未来食用人造肉持谨慎态度。故选A项。

You are what you eat-and what you eat may be encoded in your DNA. Studies have indicated that your genes play a role in determining the foods you find delicious or disgusting. But exactly how big a role they play has been difficult to figure out. “Everything has a genetic component even if it’s small,” says Joanne Cole, a geneticist at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “We know that there is some genetic contribution to why we eat the foods we eat. Can we take the next step and actually locate the regions in the genome (基因) ”
New research led by Cole has gotten a step closer. Through a large-scale genomics analysis, her team has identified 481 genome regions that were directly linked to dietary patterns and food preferences. The findings, which have not yet been peer-reviewed, were presented last month at the American Society for Nutrition’s annual conference.
The team based the new study on a 2020 Nature Communications study by Cole and her colleagues that used data from the U.K. Biobank, a public database of the genetic and health information of 500,000 participants. By scanning genomes, the new analysis was able to identify 194 regions associated with dietary patterns and 287 linked to specific foods such as fruit, cheese, fish, tea and alcohol. Further understanding how genetics impact how we eat could reveal differences in nutritional needs or disease risks.
“One of the problems with a lot of these genomics studies is that they’re very small. They don’t have enough people to really be able to identify genes in ways that are credible. This study had a huge group of people, so it’s really powerful.” says Monica Dus, a geneticist at the University of Michigan. “The other thing that I thought was really great is that there are so many different features that they’re measuring related to diet including cholesterol (胆固醇), the body and socioeconomic backgrounds.” As the research advances, Dus says, such genome analysis could potentially assist health care providers and even policymakers to address larger issues that affect food access and health.
It’s definitely true that it may contribute to making sure there aren’t food deserts-areas which have limited access to fresh, healthy and affordable food or to making sure that there’s a higher minimum wage so that everyone can afford to eat, although the journey ahead remains lengthy and challenging.
12. How did researchers conduct the present study
A. By involving a substantial number of participants.
B. By directly analyzing the data from a public database.
C. By building on a previous study based on large-scale data.
D. By identifying genome regions associated with dietary patterns.
13. Which statement will Monica Dus probably agree with
A. Powerful participants were involved in the current study.
B. The methods employed for the previous studies were credible.
C. The genome analyses have helped address larger social issues.
D. Various features linked to diet were considered in the present study.
14. What is the text mainly about
A. The benefits of latest large-scale diet-related genome analyses.
B. The contribution of genes to diet patters and food preferences.
C. The significance of a newly published diet-related genome discovery.
D. The introduction of a research on identifying diet-related genome regions.
15. Which one might the passage come from
A. National Geographic B. Sports Illustrated for kids
C. Scientific American D. The Wall Street Journal
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】

【43题详解】

47. 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。
My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends. He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.
“You don’t trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside.
“Why won’t she just stay in with us all the time ” Nathan, my youngest son asked.
I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.
“That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew.
Meatball became a regular.
One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside.
I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you’re not happy, but it’s for your own good.”
“Mom’s not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She’s just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke.
The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.” My mouth dropped open. “She was outside all night ” I was so furious, “It was freezing and she could die!” Jordan choked back his words, stunned. I grabbed my coat and rushed outside. Jordan followed, fear welling up in his eyes. Several minutes later, the poor thing was found, shaking and curling into a tiny ball. I picked her up, unsure whether she was alive or dead. Jordan was scared, “We need a vet! Now!”
As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. I could hear him talking to the cat, apologizing repeatedly. Luckily, the vet saved Meatball. Seeing her eyes open, Jordan stroked her head, all tears. Then, surprisingly, he turned to me. He apologized for what he had done. “I know you just want to keep me safe,” he murmured. I felt a lump in my throat. He rubbed Meatball’s back, “Looks like we are both going to observe the curfew. It’s for our own good.”

Songkran
Duration: from April 12 to 15, 2020 in Phuket (The dates vary depending on the regions).
Location: Songkran is the Thai New Year. The entire country gets a lot of days off, and most Thai people will be going back home to celebrate Songkran with their families. Just expect a lot of traffic jams on the road as everyone is out on pick-up trucks, throwing water at each other.
Details: Staring in the early morning on April 13th, the water ceremony will take many forms. Initially, you are only supposed to sprinkle (洒) your family with a tiny cup of water at home. It’s good luck. Then you sprinkle a statue of Buddha very respectfully and do a little pray.
Later in the morning, the game starts to change. Because this is the hottest time of the year, sprinkling each other with water is a lot of fun. Add a little beer to that and Songkran turns into a country-wide water war.
It starts rather gently in Phuket Town around 10 am, turning to water dogfights (混战) in the afternoon in Patong, Kata and Karon, and ends full-scale wet war zone in Bangla Road until late at night.
Survival Tips:
★ Don’t drive a bike if you can avoid it. It’s slippery and the tendency to close eyes when water is thrown at you is dangerous.
★ Get a waterproof camera
★ Be aware of major traffic jams in towns, mostly in Patong Beach.
★ Don’t carry anything that doesn’t resist water.
★ Don’t wear expensive clothing.
★ Be aware of the sun!
★ Have fun! Don’t take it too seriously, it’s good.
1. Why do traffic jams happen during Sognkran
A. The road is slippery.
B. The entire country gets a lot of days off.
C. The people are throwing water at each other.
D. Everyone is sprinkling his family on the road.
2. What’s the first step to celebrate Songkran
A. Doing a little pray. B. Sprinkling a statue of Buddha.
C. Sprinkling family with a little water. D. Sprinkling each other with much beer.
3. Which of the following is recommended during Songkran
A. Carrying an umbrella. B. Wearing cheap clothes.
C. Bringing some cash. D. Riding a bicycle

It would be easy to believe that Mother’s Day was created by a greeting card company. After all, the day is celebrated with special sales and brunches, lots of presents and massive advertising campaigns. But the day was actually conceived more than a century ago by Anna Jarvis of West Virginia as a way of honoring the sacrifices mothers made for their children.
Jarvis’s mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, helped start “Mothers’ Day Work Clubs,” teaching women how to care for their children. During the Civil War, she organized “Mothers’ Friendship Day,” where mothers of Union and Confederate soldiers met to try to promote harmony. The younger Jarvis Was inspired by all the things her mother had accomplished with her social work.
When Jarvis was young, she overheard her mother praying, “I hope and pray that someone, sometime, will find a memorial mother’s day honoring her for the matchless service she offers to humanity in every field of life.” When her mom died in 1905, Jarvis looked through all the sympathy cards she received. She underlined all the kind words that praised her mother, reading them over and over. The outpouring of kindness for her mother inspired her to create a day to honor all mothers.
The white carnation was her mother’s favorite flower, so it became the symbol for the day. She said it symbolized the truth, purity and charity of a mother’s love. Her idea of celebrating Mother’s Day was wearing a carnation while visiting your mother or maybe going to church together. Children were also encouraged to write letters to their mothers, sharing the depths of their appreciation.
The first official Mother’s Day events were held on May 10. 1908, at the church where her mother taught Sunday School in Grafton, West Virginia, and at the Wanamaker’s department store auditorium（礼堂）in Philadelphia. Jarvis didn’t attend the event in Grafton, but she sent 500 white carnations.
4. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “conceived” in paragraph 1
A. Thought up B. Figured out.
C. Found out. D. Believed in.
5. What do we know about Jarvis’s mother
A. She created Mother’s Day. B. She was active in social work.
C. She joined in the American Civil War. D. She taught Jarvis how to care for children.
6. How did Jarvis advise children to celebrate Mother’s Day
A. Pray for their mother’s happiness. B. Send some flowers to their mothers.
C. Write a letter to thank their mothers. D. Accompany their mothers to the celebration.
7. Which can be the best title of this text
A. A Memorable Mother B. Carnation and Mother’s Day
C. The Greatness of a Mother D. The Founding of Mother’s Day

Consumers may soon find meat on restaurant menus that has never walked the earth—grown from cell to fillet (肉块). The product, called “cultured” or “cultivated” meat, is reaching more plates. Cultivated chicken has been sold in a Singapore restaurant since 2020, and recently the Department of Agriculture approved the sale of cultured chicken in the United States. More than 150 businesses worldwide are working to put beef, fish, and pork on the market, too.
Cultured meat begins as a cell from an egg or a piece of traditionally butchered meat. Fed with certain nutrients for two or three weeks, the meat is processed into forms that consumers are familiar with. “Initial research is in a lab, but the meat is made in a production facility.” says Josh Tetrick, CEO of Good Meat, one of the USDA-approved cultured chicken manufacturers. The company has made public their own nutrient analysis, evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, which reveals that the nutritional profiles of their products are almost identical to conventional meats.
By alleviating the raising and killing of animals, cultured meat companies say their product helps reduce animal cruelty and will be better for the environment. Their process uses far less land because there’s no need to house animals or grow their feed. Cultured beef, especially, could reduce the number of cattle on farms-a significant source of methane emissions. However, some studies contradicted that cultured meat may also require greater energy usage than conventional production. Much of the environmental impact will depend on whether the energy used is renewable and on the efficiency of future production technology.
Given a growing consumer consciousness around animal rights and climate change, supporters foresee a future meat market where consumers will choose between different kinds of conventional meat, cultured meat, and plant-based alternatives. Approved sale of cultivated chicken in the U.S. is a landmark moment, but not yet a revolution. While cultured meat’s widespread consumption and impact on the economy seem a step closer to reality, scientists, philosophers, and the product’s own manufacturers acknowledge years of work lie ahead.
8. What’s the first paragraph mainly about
A. The official approval of meat marketing.
B. The growing popularity of meat products.
C. The increasing promotion of cultured meat.
D. The widespread consumption of cultured chicken.
9. In what way is cultured meat similar to conventional meat
A. Initial forms. B. Production efficiency.
C. Nutritional contents. D. Consumption prospect.
10. Why does the author mention cultured beef in paragraph 3
A. To explain the process of raising animals.
B. To compare cultured meat and conventional meat.
C. To emphasize the environmental benefits of cultured meat.
D. To highlight the significance of reducing methane emissions.
11. What attitude do scientists hold for the future consumption of cultured meat
A. Cautious. B. Confident. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
D
You are what you eat-and what you eat may be encoded in your DNA. Studies have indicated that your genes play a role in determining the foods you find delicious or disgusting. But exactly how big a role they play has been difficult to figure out. “Everything has a genetic component even if it’s small,” says Joanne Cole, a geneticist at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “We know that there is some genetic contribution to why we eat the foods we eat. Can we take the next step and actually locate the regions in the genome (基因) ”
New research led by Cole has gotten a step closer. Through a large-scale genomics analysis, her team has identified 481 genome regions that were directly linked to dietary patterns and food preferences. The findings, which have not yet been peer-reviewed, were presented last month at the American Society for Nutrition’s annual conference.
The team based the new study on a 2020 Nature Communications study by Cole and her colleagues that used data from the U.K. Biobank, a public database of the genetic and health information of 500,000 participants. By scanning genomes, the new analysis was able to identify 194 regions associated with dietary patterns and 287 linked to specific foods such as fruit, cheese, fish, tea and alcohol. Further understanding how genetics impact how we eat could reveal differences in nutritional needs or disease risks.
“One of the problems with a lot of these genomics studies is that they’re very small. They don’t have enough people to really be able to identify genes in ways that are credible. This study had a huge group of people, so it’s really powerful.” says Monica Dus, a geneticist at the University of Michigan. “The other thing that I thought was really great is that there are so many different features that they’re measuring related to diet including cholesterol (胆固醇), the body and socioeconomic backgrounds.” As the research advances, Dus says, such genome analysis could potentially assist health care providers and even policymakers to address larger issues that affect food access and health.
It’s definitely true that it may contribute to making sure there aren’t food deserts-areas which have limited access to fresh, healthy and affordable food or to making sure that there’s a higher minimum wage so that everyone can afford to eat, although the journey ahead remains lengthy and challenging.

47. 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。
My teenage son, Jordan, always complained about having to be home earlier than all his friends. He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school.
“You don’t trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe
I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside.
“Why won’t she just stay in with us all the time ” Nathan, my youngest son asked.
I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased.
“That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew.
Meatball became a regular
One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside.
I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you’re not happy, but it’s for your own good.”
“Mom’s not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She’s just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke.
The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.”

As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat.
