21、

If you have ever had a cat, or have watched one of the many funny cat videos online, you'll know that cats have a mind of their own. A lot of the things they do are hard to understand—they like to climb up tall furniture, fit themselves in small spaces and attack(攻击) small objects for no reason at all.

Now scientists have managed to work out what exactly is going on in the brains of our little friends. According to Tony Buffington, a professor at Ohio State University in the US, cats' strange behavior(行为)largely comes from their way of life back in the wild. "Cats today still have many of the same natural abilities that allowed them to live in the wild for millions of years." he said in a TED Talk. "To them, our homes are their jungles(丛林)."

Cats' bodies and great balancing(平衡)abilities allow them to climb to high places to better look at the environment. Even though they don't have to hunt(猎食)any more in human houses, they still keep the old habit of observing the living room from, for example, the top of the fridge.

Cats' hunting abilities also make them attack small things like keys and USB drives.

In the wild, they hunt whatever they can get for food, and most of the animals they kill are small. However, a cat can also be prey. This explains why they like to stay in small spaces like drawers or washing machines—they are hiding, or they think they are hiding, from more dangerous animals. This is also why cats prefer a clean box: a dirty one with an unpleasant smell could easily show enemies where they are.

Knowing how cats' minds work is not only useful for better understanding them, it may also help cats' owners to better meet cats' needs. For example, owners could try to make climbing easier for cats by moving their furniture around. They could also use "food puzzles" to make eating feel more like hunting instead of just giving food to the cats.

【1】According to the passage, Tony Buffington agrees that ________.

A.cats' strange behavior is hard for people to understand

B.cats are more used to living in the wild than in humans' homes

C.cats' natural abilities are still helpful to make them get food today

D.cats act strangely mainly because of their natural abilities in the wild

【2】The word "prey" in Paragraph 4 probably means"________".

A.an animal that lives in the jungles

B.an animal that likes keeping itself clean

C.an animal that likes playing hiding games with people

D.an animal that becomes others' food after being hunted

【3】According to the writer, cats' owners can better meet cats' needs by ________.

A.creating hunting games at home B.giving them delicious food

C.making them go back to the wild D.putting them in the furniture

【4】What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?

A.To describe cats' past wild experience to readers.

B.To tell cat owners how to make life easier for cats.

C.To explain the reasons behind cats' strange behavior.

D.To compare cats' behavior in human homes with that in the wild.

22、One day an old man is selling a big elephant. A young man comes up to the elephant and begins to look at it slowly.

23、   It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers（祖先） had lived in the same way for centuries. 

Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn't last long. 

No one noticed the change at first, but it seemed to be more insects around recently. So they had to use the money they made to buy pesticides(杀虫剂)and medicines. Soon there was no money left.

The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately. 

Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job-eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading(传播) diseases.

Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

【3】What might be the cause of the children's sickness?

A.The crops didn't do well.

B.There were too many insects.

C.The visitors brought in diseases.

D.The pesticides were overused.

【4】What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?

A.Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.

B.Health is more important than money.

C.The harmony between man and nature is important.

D.Good old days will never be forgotten.
