Four Ways Your Cat Tries to Communicate with You
Cats are amazing creatures, and while they can't talk to us, they certainly know how to communicate their needs and feelings. It's just up to us to learn how to listen to what they are saying.
Meowing
Cats meow at their owners for several reasons, including: to ask for food, to greet people, to ask for attention, to let you know they want to go outside/ come inside. In addition, elderly cats suffering from cognitive disfunction, similar to Alzheimer's Disease (阿尔兹海默症) in humans, may meow due to becoming confused or disoriented, so we encourage you to schedule an appointment with us if your senior cat seems confused or is meowing more than usual.
Purring
While cats do purr as a sign of contentment, they also do it as a self- comforting mechanism when sick, stressed or injured. If your cat is purring but also showing signs that something may be wrong, like hiding more than usual or refusing food/ water, they could be sick or in pain.
Tail Posture
If they hold their tail straight up and have relaxed fur, they' re likely to feel happy or curious. But if their fur stands on end while their tail is straight, this indicates fear or anger. Holding the tail low or hidden between the legs indicates lack of security, and a tail that's rapidly twitching back and forth suggests anxiety.
Rubbing
When your cat rubs against your legs or gives you head butts, they are telling you that they love you. That is not the only thing they are doing, though. Cats rub their bodies and cheeks against people and objects to mark their territory and to claim humans, other cats, and various objects as their own.
21. When cats are sick or in pain, what are they likely to do
A. Meow at their owners. B. Rub against your legs.
C. Purr and refuse food. D. Hold their tail straight up.
22. What may a cat show when it hides its tail between legs
A. Insecurity. B. Depression. C. Curiosity. D. Happiness.
23. Who provides this text most probably
A. A cat sitter. B. A cat owner.
C. An animal shelter. D. A pet health care centre.
B
“Soon, you're going to have to move out! ” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.
One tiny 9- inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren't for the pleasure they give, it wouldn't be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet- smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.
Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold: First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full- blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I'll think about that tomorrow.
24. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses
A. A lot of care and the right soil. B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
C. Tomato plants grown alongside. D. Cages placed around the roots.
25. The writer planted the tomato because ________.
A. it cost only $1. 25 B. the soil was just right for it
C. there was room for it in the garden D. the roses' branches needed to be covered
26. This year the writer's roses were ________.
A. removed from the rose bed B. picked along with the tomatoes
C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight D. largely hidden under the tomato plant
27. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in paragraph5, the writer wants to ________.
A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes B. show the hardship of growing the roses
C. express her liking for the roses D. express her care for the tomatoes
C
One morning a few years ago, Harvard President Neil Rudenstine overslept. For this busy man, it was a sort of alarm: after years of non- stop hard work, he might wear himself out and die an early death.
Only after a week's leave—during which he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach—was Rudenstine able to return to work.
In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying: “I am so busy. ”
We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax— this has become the model of a successful life.
Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom.
How have we allowed this to happen I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week—for followers of some religions—for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.
Rest is a spiritual and biological need; however, in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work. In fact, “Remember the Sabbath” is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow.
28. The “alarm” in the first paragraph refers to “_________”.
A. a signal of stress B. a warning of danger
C. a sign of age D. a spread of disease
29. According to Paragraph 4, a successful person is one who is believed to _________.
A. be able to work without stress B. be more talented than others
C. be more important than anyone else D. be busy working without time to rest
30. Some people feel guilty when taking time to rest because they _________.
A. think that taking a rest means lacking ambitions
B. fail to realize that rest is an essential part of life
C. fail to realize that religions force them to rest
D. think that taking a rest means being lazy
31. What is the main idea of this passage
A. We should balance work with rest.
B. The Sabbath gives us permission to rest.
C. It is silly for anyone to say “I am busy.”
D. We should be available to our family and friends.
D
California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor.
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources.
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt.
Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
32. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The seriousness of big- tree loss in California.
B. The increasing variety of California big trees.
C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.
33. Which of the following is well- intentioned but may be bad for big trees
A. Ecological studies of forests. B. Banning woodcutting.
C. Limiting housing development. D. Fire control measures.
34. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre
A. Insufficient snowmelt. B. A longer dry season.
C. A warmer climate. D. Dampness of the air.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone
B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests
D. Patrick Mclntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California

Why Do We Get Angry
Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering events, personality traits (特征) , and our assessment of situations 36
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. 37 The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits.
Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. 38 Also, sometimes pre- anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.
39 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre- anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative outlooks on situations can create anger.
40 However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.
A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.
B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.
D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.
E. Having these personality traits implies the pre- anger state where anger is in the background of your mind.
F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.
G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.

Unsurprisingly, there are chemical and evolutionary theories to 52 why humans are such curious creatures. When we become curious, our brains 53 a chemical called dopamine (多巴胺) , which makes the process of learning more pleasurable and improves memory. It is still not known why learning gives us such 54 but one theory is that we may have developed a basic need to fight uncertainty— the more we understand about the world around us, the more 55 we are to survive its many dangers!

Easy Ways to Build Vocabulary
It's not all that hard to build an advanced and large vocabulary. Like many things in life, it's 56 ongoing process, and the best part of the process is 57 there's enough room for improvement, 58 means you'll just keep getting better and better. Of course you have to work at it. You wouldn't think that a few months' of exercise in your teens would be enough for the rest of your life, 59 that's also true for building your vocabulary—you have to keep at it daily, and pretty soon, you will find that you have an 60 (excel) vocabulary .
One of the most effective ways to build vocabulary is to read good books. You need to really read at least one good book a week, 61 (preferable) a classic. This isn't as hard as it 62 (sound) , and it is far better than any other method 63 you improve your vocabulary while reading an interesting piece of literature. Another nice thing is that you learn both new words and their use unconsciously, 64 (mean) that you will tend to use the words 65 (learn) this way in conversations almost automatically.

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。
Today was Community Service Day at school. Maya's class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home. It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace (腿支架) to school, which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly.
It was a cold autumn morning, Maya looked down, feeling embarrassed. To make it lovelier, she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns. Still, she was unsure about others' reaction. All morning at school, kids kept glancing at her brace. To her relief, they didn't say anything.
In the classroom, Maya was drawing little green buds (芽) and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her. She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking, “ What's that for ” Not knowing what to say, Maya pretended she didn't hear him. After a few seconds of awkwardness, she glanced back at him, and found that he looked a little sad.
After lunch, the class set off. The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path. Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up. Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old. There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair, with a big smile on her face, sat the lady, wearing a pink coat, with red lipstick and beautiful earrings. She looked bright and full of life. Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir, she greeted first. “I'm Joan, ” she said cheerfully, “ Glad to meet you. ”
Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made. Joan looked at Samir's card carefully and spoke with admiration, “You've written a poem! That's so artistic! ” Samir's face reddened with shyness. Then Joan turned to Maya's picture. “The first flowers of spring! ” she cried in delight. “You really have a gift for using colour! ” she said. Clearly, Joan's praise added great power into Maya.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；

Dear Tom,
Knowing that you are wondering how to organize the Chinese Culture Festival as part of your school's culture communication project, I am writing to offer (put forward) some suggestions. (Learning that you are appointed the task to organize the Chinese Culture Festival, I am more than delighted to offer some suggestions. )
I recommend you create a Chinese culture fair where cuisines, dances, costumes, music and performances native to China are offered/ showcased. An exhibition of traditional Chinese art forms such as painting, calligraphy and paper- cutting would also open students’ eyes to the diversity and charm/ glamour of Chinese culture. And a Chinese- cultural IQ test will surely arouse/ inspire students' interest in China's history and culture.
This festival will definitely promote/ enhance awareness of Chinese culture and appreciation of cultural diversity and support relations between Britain and China. Wish you tremendous/ enormous success.
Yours,
Li Hua

In a sudden wave of bravery, Maya asked, “What’s it like being in a wheelchair ” “It helps me get around,” Joan said simply. Then, grinning, she added, “You'd be surprised at how fast I can go in this thing!” Right then, she moved the wheelchair across the room, turning around, back and forth. And what surprised Maya most was that she didn't detect any pity or embarrassment from her. Then Maya looked up and found Joan was smiling, eyes purposefully resting on her brace. It was then that a spark of power was lit up deep inside Maya. That afternoon, the three of them had a pleasant talk over lots of things until it was dusk.
Deeply impressed by Joan, Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home. “Joan is great. I like her.” Samir admired. Maya nodded, lost in thought. With Joan's wheelchair and smile in mind, she summoned up her courage and said, “The brace keeps my toe up so I can walk better.” “Really ” Samir looked amazed, reached out and touched it gently. “That's super cool!” His words were so since re that Maya felt warm and moved. It was a reaction that she expected deep inside her heart. Though it was autumn outside, it felt like spring for Maya. A little green bud was bursting—she and her brace looked cool, beautiful and dynamic in her and others' eyes.

M: Hello, everyone. First let me introduce myself. My name is John Barker, and I work at an institution. As most of you know, I'm here to talk about students' summer jobs. In many parts of the world, university students work in the summer. They need the money, and they can get some working experience. Traditionally, they get jobs as servers, cashiers, and lifeguards at swimming pools.
These days, however, more and more students are working at dotcoms. Dotcoms are Internet- based companies which offer goods and services online. Today's young people already know a lot about computers, and they can quickly learn more. The pay is usually much better than at the traditional summer jobs.
There are other advantages besides the pay. Students see dotcom jobs as a good start on their future. In addition to providing good experience, the work is also enjoyable for most. On top of this, their co- workers treat them with respect.
Dotcoms are new and need new ways of thinking. Imagination is more important than formal qualifications. So some students are even quitting school to start their own dotcoms.
第二节到此结束。现在，你有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。
