There were once two doors in the same house. One was a beautiful living-room door, and the other was just a/an 16 bathroom door.
They both had terrible lives. The house was full of 17 children who were always slamming (摔门) and kicking the doors. Each night, when everyone was asleep, the doors would talk about their poor 18 . The living-room door was always ready to shout with anger, but the bathroom door would calm him down, saying, “Don’t worry. They’re children. They’ll soon learn. Wait and things will 19 .”
And so the living-room door would calm down for a while. But one day, after a big party and much slamming and kicking of the doors, the living-room door 20 lost his temper and became very angry, saying, “That’s enough! The next time someone slams me, I’m going to 21 , and they’ll learn how important I am.” The next day, the first time he was slammed, the living-room door broke.
This caused great 22 in the house, and the children were punished. But after a few days, the house owners didn’t want to have a broken door. Instead of 23 it, they decided to buy a new one. The old door was abandoned (抛弃).
By then the beautiful living-room door regretted what he had done. For not being 24 enough, he was now abandoned, waiting to be turned into firewood. Meanwhile, his friend, the not so good-looking bathroom door, remained in his place, and the children were treating him with greater 25 than before.

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了孩子们经常摔打家里的两扇门，对此起居室的门和浴室的门做出了不同的反应，起居室的门坏了，虽然它比浴室的门漂亮，可是最终没有逃脱被抛弃的命运。
16. 句意：一扇是美丽的客厅门，另一扇是丑陋的浴室门。

18. 句意：每天晚上，每个人都在睡觉时，门们会谈论它们的不幸。

八、阅读理解
A
Once upon a time, in a deep forest lived a hard-working and kind-hearted squirrel named Sammy. Sammy was known for his kind and helpful nature. He was always ready to give a hand to anyone in need.
One sunny morning, Sammy was busy collecting nuts for the winter. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise coming from a nearby bush. Hoping to find out what was happening, he got near the bush and looked inside. There, he found a little bird with a broken wing, struggling to fly.
Sammy felt sorry for the bird and quickly chose to help. He carefully carried the bird back to his comfortable tree hole and tried to cure its wing with leaves and soft grass. Day after day, Sammy gave the bird food and cared for it until its wing got better. As the weeks passed, the bird’s wing grew stronger, and it was finally able to fly again. The bird thanked Sammy cheerfully and promised to help him in return whenever he needed it.
Not long after, a terrible storm attacked the forest, and Sammy’s tree hole was blocked by fallen branches. Sammy was caught and he didn’t know what to do. Just then, the bird flew by and saw Sammy’s predicament. It quickly flew to the nearby animals and asked for help.
It took the animals quite a long time to, together, clear the branches and free Sammy from the hole. Sammy felt so thankful and found that his kindness had come back to him in the most surprising way.
From that day on, Sammy has continued to help others, and the forest animals have learned the value of kindness and helping each other. They live happily, knowing that together, they can overcome any challenge.

B. He didn’t want to let the bird suffer.

3. How did the bird help Sammy in return
A. By catching him in a terrible storm.
B. By helping him carry away the leaves.
C. By asking other animals to help together.
D. By showing him where to get free from the hole.
4. What does the underlined word “predicament” probably mean
A. A great difficulty for Sammy.
B. A place that Sammy liked to hide.
C. A chance for Sammy to get free.
D. A serious illness that Sammy suffered from.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. C 4. A
【解析】本文主要讲述了善良的松鼠Sammy乐于助人，当他陷入困境时，周围的小动物都纷纷来帮助他的故事。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Sammy was known for his kind and helpful nature.”可知，Sammy以其善良和乐于助人的天性而闻名。故选C。
2. 推理判断题。根据第二段“There, he found a little bird with a broken wing, struggling to fly.”可知，小鸟的翅膀受了伤，由此推测，Sammy决定帮助小鸟是因为他不想让这只小鸟受苦。故选B。
3. 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“It quickly flew to the nearby animals and asked for help.”可知，作为回报，小鸟通过让其他动物一起帮忙来帮助Sammy。故选C。
4. 词义猜测题。根据倒数第三段“Not long after, a terrible storm attacked the forest, and Sammy’s tree hole was blocked by fallen branches. Sammy was caught and he didn’t know what to do.”可知，由于一场可怕的风暴袭击了森林，Sammy的树洞被倒下的树枝堵住了，他被困在了树洞里，他不知道该怎么办。由此猜测，predicament意为“a great difficulty for Sammy”。故选A。

Humans have kept animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but have you ever imagined we would have robot pets in the future
Jean-Loup Rault, PhD, is an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia. 1 “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robot pet, and now some big companies have improved it a lot,” Rault told ABC News.
2 “You don’t have to feed it. You don’t have to walk it. 3 And you can go on holidays without feeling bad,” Rault said.
It’s not clear whether or not robot pets would completely replace real ones. 4 When a Japanese robot seal (海豹) called Paro was introduced to hospital patients, it helped improve their moods and helped them make friends with others.
5 “If we get used to a robot pet that doesn’t need food, water or exercise, perhaps it will change how humans treat other living beings,” Rault said.
So are dogs and cats a thing of the past as Rault says Perhaps for future pet owners with a close connection to technology, this might be the case.
A. It won’t make a mess in your house.
B. There are a lot of advantages of a robot pet.
C. The future life of animals is worrying.
D. He believes robot pets are going to be our new pets.
E. But some studies show that the smart machines are helpful.
F. However, robot pets may affect our attitudes (态度) toward animals.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 4. E 5. F

C
In our lives, pets have become much more than just animals that share our homes. They are cherished companions, offering unconditional love and support that enriches our daily existence in profound ways.
Dogs, often hailed as “man’s best friend,” are a prime example of the deep-seated bond between pets and humans. From the moment a puppy enters a family, it begins to form an emotional connection. They greet us with wagging tails and excited barks after a long day at work, instantly lifting our spirits. Dogs are not only great for companionship but also serve practical purposes. Service dogs, for instance, assist people with disabilities, whether it’s guiding the blind, alerting those with hearing impairments to sounds, or providing support to individuals with mobility issues. Their loyalty makes them invaluable partners in these roles.
Cats, with their independent yet affectionate nature, also hold a special place in many households. A purring cat curled up on our laps can bring a sense of calm and relaxation. They may seem aloof at times, but their gentle nuzzles and soft meows when they seek attention show their love for their human companions. Cats can also be great for reducing stress. Studies have shown that interacting with a cat can lower blood pressure and ease anxiety.
Small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters, though less commonly thought of in terms of close relationships, also offer unique forms of companionship. They may be more timid, but with patience and gentle handling, they can become comfortable around their owners. Watching these small creatures go about their daily activities, such as nibbling on food or playing in their cages, can be a source of simple joy.
The relationship between pets and humans is a two-way street. We provide them with food, shelter, and medical care, while they offer us emotional support, a reason to be more active (especially in the case of dogs that need walks), and a sense of purpose. In fact, for many people living alone, a pet can be their main source of social interaction.
However, this special bond also comes with responsibilities. We need to ensure that our pets are healthy, happy, and well-cared for. This includes regular vet check-ups, proper nutrition, and sufficient exercise (where applicable). In return, the love and loyalty our pets give us make all the efforts worthwhile.
In conclusion, the relationship between pets and humans is a beautiful and essential part of our lives. It teaches us about love, responsibility, and the simple pleasures that come from sharing our world with another living being. Whether it’s a dog, a cat, or a small furry friend, these pets become an integral part of our families, and their presence makes our lives more fulfilling.

A. Because they are the most popular pets.
B. Because they can perform various tasks for humans.
C. Because they offer unconditional love and practical assistance.
D. Because they are easy to train.
2. How do cats help reduce stress
A. By always being affectionate and clingy.
B. By purring and seeking attention in a gentle way.
C. By playing energetic games with their owners.

C. They are more intelligent than other pets.

Once upon a time, in a deep forest lived a hard-working and kind-hearted squirrel named Sammy. Sammy was known for his kind and helpful nature. He was always ready to give a hand to anyone in need.
One sunny morning, Sammy was busy collecting nuts for the winter. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise coming from a nearby bush. Hoping to find out what was happening, he got near the bush and looked inside. There, he found a little bird with a broken wing, struggling to fly.
Sammy felt sorry for the bird and quickly chose to help. He carefully carried the bird back to his comfortable tree hole and tried to cure its wing with leaves and soft grass. Day after day, Sammy gave the bird food and cared for it until its wing got better. As the weeks passed, the bird’s wing grew stronger, and it was finally able to fly again. The bird thanked Sammy cheerfully and promised to help him in return whenever he needed it.
Not long after, a terrible storm attacked the forest, and Sammy’s tree hole was blocked by fallen branches. Sammy was caught and he didn’t know what to do. Just then, the bird flew by and saw Sammy’s predicament. It quickly flew to the nearby animals and asked for help.
It took the animals quite a long time to, together, clear the branches and free Sammy from the hole. Sammy felt so thankful and found that his kindness had come back to him in the most surprising way.
From that day on, Sammy has continued to help others, and the forest animals have learned the value of kindness and helping each other. They live happily, knowing that together, they can overcome any challenge.

Humans have kept animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but have you ever imagined we would have robot pets in the future
Jean-Loup Rault, PhD, is an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia. 1 “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robot pet, and now some big companies have improved it a lot,” Rault told ABC News.
2 “You don’t have to feed it. You don’t have to walk it. 3 And you can go on holidays without feeling bad,” Rault said.
It’s not clear whether or not robot pets would completely replace real ones. 4 When a Japanese robot seal (海豹) called Paro was introduced to hospital patients, it helped improve their moods and helped them make friends with others.
5 “If we get used to a robot pet that doesn’t need food, water or exercise, perhaps it will change how humans treat other living beings,” Rault said.
So are dogs and cats a thing of the past as Rault says Perhaps for future pet owners with a close connection to technology, this might be the case.
A. It won’t make a mess in your house.
B. There are a lot of advantages of a robot pet.
C. The future life of animals is worrying.
D. He believes robot pets are going to be our new pets.
E. But some studies show that the smart machines are helpful.
F. However, robot pets may affect our attitudes (态度) toward animals.

In our lives, pets have become much more than just animals that share our homes. They are cherished companions, offering unconditional love and support that enriches our daily existence in profound ways.
Dogs, often hailed as “man’s best friend,” are a prime example of the deep-seated bond between pets and humans. From the moment a puppy enters a family, it begins to form an emotional connection. They greet us with wagging tails and excited barks after a long day at work, instantly lifting our spirits. Dogs are not only great for companionship but also serve practical purposes. Service dogs, for instance, assist people with disabilities, whether it’s guiding the blind, alerting those with hearing impairments to sounds, or providing support to individuals with mobility issues. Their loyalty makes them invaluable partners in these roles.
Cats, with their independent yet affectionate nature, also hold a special place in many households. A purring cat curled up on our laps can bring a sense of calm and relaxation. They may seem aloof at times, but their gentle nuzzles and soft meows when they seek attention show their love for their human companions. Cats can also be great for reducing stress. Studies have shown that interacting with a cat can lower blood pressure and ease anxiety.
Small pets like rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters, though less commonly thought of in terms of close relationships, also offer unique forms of companionship. They may be more timid, but with patience and gentle handling, they can become comfortable around their owners. Watching these small creatures go about their daily activities, such as nibbling on food or playing in their cages, can be a source of simple joy.
The relationship between pets and humans is a two-way street. We provide them with food, shelter, and medical care, while they offer us emotional support, a reason to be more active (especially in the case of dogs that need walks), and a sense of purpose. In fact, for many people living alone, a pet can be their main source of social interaction.
However, this special bond also comes with responsibilities. We need to ensure that our pets are healthy, happy, and well-cared for. This includes regular vet check-ups, proper nutrition, and sufficient exercise (where applicable). In return, the love and loyalty our pets give us make all the efforts worthwhile.
In conclusion, the relationship between pets and humans is a beautiful and essential part of our lives. It teaches us about love, responsibility, and the simple pleasures that come from sharing our world with another living being. Whether it’s a dog, a cat, or a small furry friend, these pets become an integral part of our families, and their presence makes our lives more fulfilling.
