23、(2013甘肃兰州)不论发生什么事,我都不会改变心意。
________happens,I won’t change my mind.
24、Before dawn (黎明), 12 very tired girls in worn-out slippers (破拖鞋) went back to bed. Tramper hurried in front of them and lay down on the sofa. There the King found him, circled by worn-out slippers, sound asleep.
“Well?” the King asked. You might think that Tramper told the King about what he had seen, but no. He had enjoyed the salmon (三文鱼) so much that he was hoping for a second supper.
“Two more tries,” said the King. “That’s all!”
The next night, the princesses brought Tramper turkey and a cup of tea for his supper. He ate up the turkey but drank no tea. Instead, he gave the palace parrot his tea and it fell off its sleeping place, sound asleep.
The princesses and Tramper fell asleep, too—or so it seemed. Later that night … the distant sound of silvery music began. The 12 princesses jumped out of bed, into the wardrobe (衣柜), and ran across the garden of ruby roses, through the orchard (果园) of diamond fruit and up the glass steps into the castle. Tramper followed them with the magic scarf over his head.
Again the elves (精灵小矮人) were waiting. Again the princesses danced and danced until their slippers were worn out. Before dawn, the tired princesses made their way home. Tramper hurried ahead of them and lay down on the sofa.
There the King found him, circled by worn-out slippers, sound asleep. “Well?” You might think that Tramper told the King about what he had seen, but no. He had enjoyed the turkey so much that he was hoping for a third supper.
“One more night,” said the King, “… and what’s wrong with the parrot?”

25、
It's a common belief that over time, pet owners start to look like their animals. Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour.
Next time you reach for your fridge, think twice. If your cat is watching, she will probably overeat as well.
In a new study from the University of Messina, it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers. They sleep at the same time, eat at the same time, and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.
“Cats are clever animals with a long memory,” Jane Brunt, director of the Catalyst Council, told Discovery News. “They watch and learn from us, noting the patterns of our actions, knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed, how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed, and where their feeding and toileting areas are.” Because cats copy our habits, if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge, your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack, too. According to the study, this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match”.
There's no word if drinking green tea and making sure you go to yoga will benefit (使受益) your cat, but based on the study, it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping habit is best for both of you.
There's a lot we can learn from our cats in return. “When they sit softly breathing , eyes half closed, the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private less on in inner meditation(冥想),”Brunt said. They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.
So, according to science, though we think that cats are not close to us all these years, it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us. Scary, huh?
【1】 What does the word “terrifying” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. 可怕的 B. 高兴的 C. 伤心的 D. 无聊的
【2】According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?
A. Cats can copy humans' behaviours.
B. Cats are smart and have a long memory.
C. Green tea and yoga can benefit cats.
D. Humans can learn from cats in some way.
【3】 What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Humans' keeping searching the fridge.
B. Humans' drinking green tea and going to yoga
C. Cats' copying humans' habit of looking for food.
D. Cats' going to their owners for food.
【4】What can we learn from our cats?
A. To remain peaceful. B. To be able to copy.
C. To stay hungry. D. To look up to friends.
【5】 The best title for the passage could be “________”.
A. Your cat can bring you pleasure B. You are copying your cat
C. You can make your cat social D. Your cat is copying your habit
26、Alfredo Moser is a Brazilian worker who is skilled at repairing machines. His wife says her husband has always been handy (手巧的) at home and made tables and chairs. Alfredo has invented a way of lighting his house during the day without electricity.
He has been using plastic bottles filled up with water and a little bleach (漂 白剂) to provide dark rooms with light for many years. And the idea has now spread across the world. It is predicted that his lighting system, which works using refraction (折射) of sunlight, will be fitted in over a million homes by the end of this year.
Alfredo used normal plastic drink bottles that are often thrown away. The secret of the liquid in the bottles is the bleach added to water, which stops it turning green in the sunlight. Mr. Moser drills a hole in a roof tile (瓦片) and then pushes the bottle in from below, keeping the bottle in place with polyester resin (聚酯树脂). Depending on the strength of sunlight, the light fills his home, and the bottles are just like electric bulbs (灯泡) of between 40 and 60 watts (瓦).
Alfredo came up with the idea for his “Moser light” during one of the blackouts in Brazil in 2002. He said only factories had power in his home city, in southern Brazil during the energy shortage.
The local supermarket and his neighbours’ houses are using Moser lights. He earned a few dollars, but his invention has not made him a rich man. Now a great number of people admire what he is doing!

A. Because the bottle can give more light.
B. Because the bleach can keep the bottle in a roof tile.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE about the passage?
A. People can use Moser’s lights only at night.
B. Moser’s light gives too poor light.
C. Moser’s bottles use electricity to light the room.

27、I took my 9-year-old daughter, Susan and 5-year-old son, Robbie to the shopping center. As we got there, we saw a big sign that said, “Petting Zoo”. The kids jumped up and asked, “Daddy, can we go?”
Both my wife and I were out of work. However, I said, “Sure”, giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket.
A petting zoo is made up of hundreds of little baby animals of all kinds. Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure(围场)pleased with the little animals while their parents shop.
A few minutes later, I saw Susan walking along behind me. I was surprised and asked what was wrong.
She said sadly, “Well, Daddy, a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents. So I gave Robbie my quarter.” Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard. She repeated the family motto(座右铭), which is “Love is Action!”
I knew clearly no one loves little animals more than Susan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say “Love is Action!” for years, and now she had put it into her lifestyle. It had become part of her, because she knew the whole family motto. It’s not only “Love is Action”, it’s “Love is SACRIFICIAL(牺牲的) Action!” Love always pays a price.
I was moved. We went back to the Petting Zoo. Susan stood with her hands and chin(下巴) resting on the fence and just watched Robbie go crazy petting and feeding the animals. I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!
