21、Cats like climbing trees and there are logical reasons behind this behavior. Interestingly, due to some of their physical features, cats will meet trouble getting down from the trees after climbing up, which may seem unusual.

There are several reasons why cats climb trees, mostly to do with defensive purposes. Cats, as predators(捕食者), like to understand their environment well. As they are small animals, their scope of vision is considerably smaller. Cats often climb trees to get a better view of their surroundings to help them see any potential dangers.

While cats are predators, they are also easy to get attacked from larger animals, such as dogs or even other cats. A tree often provides a safe hiding place. In the wild, cars climb up trees to give them a resting or napping place that is out of predators’ range. It also helps disguise their presence.

Some cats may climb trees for fun, on occasion, or possibly to work on improving their climbing abilities. Small cats frequently test out their claw skills by trying to climb up anything and everything, from bookcases to trees to a person’s leg. Climbing practice is good for cats; it can improve their strength and flexibility and teach them an important defensive skill.

If a cat has gotten up a tree and cannot get down, the owner may wonder why its remarkable climbing abilities only work in one direction. A cat’s claws curve inward, allowing it to grip onto surfaces while going up head first. Unfortunately, this useful climbing curve does nothing to help the animal get back down again. 

Eventually, most trapped cats will either jump out of the tree or realize that they can get down by going tail first. Either way, a cat up a tree is usually nothing to worry about; they are intelligent animals and will figure out how to get down sooner or later.

【1】According to the text small cats like to climb a person’s leg to______.

A. Show love to the person

B. Test out their claw skills

C. Avoid the attack from the dog

D. Get food from a person’s hand.

【2】Why do cats have trouble getting down from a tree?

A. They are afraid of height.

B. They are easy to get lost in a tree.

C. They don’t know how to jump off a tree.

D. Their climbing ability doesn’t help when climbing down.

【3】What should you do when you see a cat trapped in a tree?

A. Just let it alone.

B. Lead it down patiently.

C. Teach it the right way to get down.

D. Watch it closely until it comes down.

【4】What does this text mainly talk about.

A. Why cats like to climb trees.

B. Why cats can’t climb down a tree.

C. How cats manage to climb down a tree.

D. What owners do to help cats down a tree.

22、Nuclear bombs. That’s the go to answer for incoming space objects like asteroids (小行星)and comets as far as Hollywood is concerned. Movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon rely on nuclear weapons, delivered by stars like Bruce Willis, to save the world and deliver the drama.

But planetary defense experts say in reality, if astronomers spotted a dangerous in- coming space rock, the safest and best answer might be something more subtle, like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a small spacecraft.

That’s just what NASA did on Monday evening, when a spacecraft headed straight in- to an asteroid called Dimorphos, which is around 7 million miles away and poses no threat to Earth. It’s about 525 feet across and orbits another larger asteroid.

In images streamed (传输)as the crash neared, the egg-shaped asteroid grew in size from a little spot on screen to have its full rocky surface come quickly into focus before the signal went dead as the craft hit right on target.

Events happened exactly as engineers had planned, they said, with nothing going wrong. “As far as we can tell, our first planetary defense test was a success, ” said Elena Adams, the mission systems engineer, who added that scientists looked on with “both terror and joy” as the spacecraft neared its final destination.

The crash was the peak of NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test ( DART ), a 7-year and more than $300 million effort which launched a space vehicle in November of 2021 to per- form humanity’s first ever test of planetary defense technology. It will be about two months, scientists said, before they will be able to determine if the crash was enough to drive the asteroid slightly off course, probably shortening its original orbit.

NASA plans to launch an asteroid-hunting space telescope named NEO Surveyor in 2026. “We’ve tracked lots of space rocks, especially the larger ones that could cause ex- tinction-level events. Thankfully, none currently threaten Earth. But many asteroids the size of Dimorphos haven’t yet been discovered, and those could potentially take out a city if they came crashing down. ” explains Lindley Johnson, NASA’s Planetary Defense Officer.

【1】Why does the author mention the movies?

A．To make a prediction.

B．To introduce the topic.

C．To provide an evidence.

D．To make an advertisement.

【2】What can we infer from the passage?

A．NEO Surveyor has tracked lots of space rocks.

B．NASA pushed Dimorphos by crashing.

C．Dimorphos could cause extinction-level events.

D．Scientists have recorded the whole crash process with a telescope.

【3】Which is most possibly Lindley Johnson’s view according to the last paragraph?

A．Larger asteroids will not be a threat to Earth.

B．Asteroids like Dimorphos are more destructive than other larger ones.

C．NEO Surveyor may be expected to discover asteroids the size of Dimorphos.

D．NASA should shoulder the responsibility for the crash.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．The impact of planetary defense technology.

B．A threat to Earth from asteroids.

C．The contribution to space safety.

D．A crash with a small spacecraft.

23、C  I am a writer．I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth．Language is the tool of my trade．And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with．

Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks．Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English．But I feel embarrassed to say that．It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness．I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example．But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker．

I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her．I was ashamed of her English．I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say．That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect．And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her．

I started writing fiction in 1985．And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure．I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show: her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts．

【1】By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______．

A．she is a writer by profession

B．she is fascinated by languages

C．she works as a translator

D．she uses English in foreign trade

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?

A．Americans do not understand broken English．

B．Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts．

C．The author’ mother had positive influence on her．

D．The author’s mother was not respected sometimes．

【3】The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is _____．

A．well structured

B．rich in meaning

C．in the old style

D．easy to translate

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．The author’s misunderstanding of “limited” English．

B．The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother．

C．The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English．

D．The author’s experiences of using broken English．

24、   Happiness is like a pebble(卵石)dropped into a pool to set in motion an ever-widening circle of ripples. As Stevenson has said, being happy is a duty.

【1】. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy.

Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend(额外收获). But staying happy is an accomplishment, a triumph of soul and character.【2】. It is, indeed, a duty to others and us.

【3】. It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous; if you don’t feel happy, pretend to be!

It works.【4】, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will.

Then the make-believe becomes a reality.【5】, and can forget yourself in being of service to others.

Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.

A．Before long you will find that instead of repelling people

B．Happiness is a state of mind

C．It is not selfish to strive for it

D．You possess the secret of peace of mind

E．We need to know and understand happiness before we finally get it

F．There is no exact definition of the word happiness

G．Being unhappy is like an infectious disease

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Two, men,both seriously ill, shared the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed is next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time lying on his back. The men talked for hours continuously. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their experience in the army and where they had been on vacation. Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods when his world would be broadened and enlivened (有活力的) by all the activities and colors of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.Ducks and swans (天鹅) played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color. Grand old trees made everything around more attractive, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in detail, the man on the'other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque (如画的) scene. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade (列队) passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band, he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window pictured it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed by. One morning , the nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away. Later, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself.
