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 small objects for no reason at all.

Now scientists have managed to figure 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 largely comes from their way of life back in the wild. “Cats today still have many of the same instincts 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.”

In the wild, cats are hunters. Their bodies and great balancing abilities allow them to climb to high spots to better look at the environment. Even though they don’t have to hunt any more in human houses, they still keep the old habit of viewing the living room from, for example, the top of the refrigerator.

Cats’ hunting instinct is also what makes them attack small things like keys and USB drives. In the wild, they hunt whatever they can get, and most of the animals they kill are small.

However, cats 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 smelly one 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 Tony Buffington, ________.

A．cats’ strange behavior is difficult for humans to understand

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

C．cats’ instincts are as helpful to them today as they were millions of year ago

D．cats behave strangely mainly because they still have some instincts in the wild

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A．Cats like to climb up high because they want to hide from dangerous animals.

B．Cats attack keys and USB drives because they have a habit of hunting small animals.

C．Cats enjoy staying in small spaces because they usually live in small caves in the wild.

D．Cats’ preference for a clean litter box has something to do with their hunting habits.

【3】The underlined word “prey” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.

A．an animal that is hunted

B．an animal that is too shy

C．an animal that keeps itself clean

D．an animal that likes hiding games

【4】This article is mainly written to ________.

A．describe cats’ past wild experience to readers

B．explore the reasons for cats’ strange behavior

C．tell cat owners how to make life easier for cats

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

22、In anticipation (预料) of an extraordinary visit, the streets and buildings of Havana, Cuba, were cleaned and painted by dozens of workers. What was the occasion?

For the first time in nearly 90 years, a sitting United States president was coming to Cuba, an island nation 90 miles south of Florida. On Sunday, President Barack Obama, joined by his family, stepped off Air Force One and onto a rainy runway, where Cuban dignitaries (高官) eagerly awaited him. “It’s wonderful to be here, ” the president said. The last time a U.S. president came to Cuba was in 1928. It was President Calvin Coolidge, and he arrived on a battleship. Obama will be in Cuba through Tuesday. He is set to meet with Cuba’s president, Raul Castro, attend a state dinner and even take in a baseball game.

The U.S. cut all ties with Cuba after Fidel Castro’s communist government took control of the island in 1959. In the years that followed, both countries’ opposing political views furthered the separation. Plans for social and economic change began after President Fidel Castro transferred power to his brother, Raul in 2008. Raul Castro then set a plan in motion to revive the country’s economy.

Since then, Cuba has been taking small, yet lasting steps toward change by removing a number of restrictions that had been set on its citizens, such as access to the Internet, the use of cellphones, and by allowing people to work at jobs not controlled by the government. Cuba, however, still has tough limits on media, public assembly and political opposition.

Obama hopes to share his vision for Cuba’s future during a speech he will deliver. Before the trip, Senior Advisor Ben Rhodes said the president hoped to use this visit as a way to “continue to create openings for great engagement between the American and Cuban people.”

【1】What is stressed in the second paragraph?

A. President Obama’s arrival on television.

B. Obama and Castro talk about human rights.

C. The first serving U.S. president to visit Cuba recently.

D. First lady Michelle Obama was later welcomed.

【2】What was the event showing Cuba’s change for the better?

A. Fidel Castro rose to power.

B. Raul Castro came to power.

C. Calvin Coolidge arrived in Cuba.

D. The U.S. officials arrived in Cuba.

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

A. Cuba is central to conflict.

B. Cuba takes on media freedoms.

C. Cuba is working towards progress.

D. Cuba makes sure the right to healthcare.

【4】According to Ben Rhodes, which is the purpose of Barack Obama’s visit to Cuba?[

A. To bring negative change for Cubans.

B. To carry out his vision for Cuba’s future.

C. To break silence and no communications.

D. To give Mr Castro a list of political views.

23、Autistic (自闭症的) children are as known as “children of the stars”0 They may have difficulties communicating with other people. 【1】 By combining music with mobile technology, three students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University have tried to help them with an app called Starrypia.

Tan Yilan, Zhang Junwei and Cai Yu spent five months building their AR-gamified therapy app for children with autism. Children use the app to scan things around them. 【2】 Then they rearrange the parts to create songs. The songs would be recorded in their music diaries.

“This is actually a kind of music therapy. 【3】 The process also trains their abilities.” said Tan. The app encourages children to scan and identify dolls, animals and plants. They even designed different levels, guiding users from their surroundings to nature.

According to the app’s developers, traditional music therapy is usually taken in hospitals. 【4】 But Starrypia makes the process more like a game. Besides, it can be used anytime and anywhere, making the therapy lighter and easier.

Starrypia will soon come out on the APP Store. 【5】 They will return the income to their families. When they tested the app on autistic children, they got good responses, not only in professional terms but also on the children’s faces. “I saw their smiles as they played with Starrypia, making everything worth it,” said Tan.

A．They are combining music with mobile technology.

B．Autistic children can better express themselves by it.

C．And they get parts of music as well as cartoon images.

D．The developers are also preparing to sell the music works.

E．The music therapy app is becoming more and more popular.

F．However, music can open their hearts as a kind of artistic language.

G．Autistic children sit in front of computers learning some music courses.

24、Being a high school coach provides wonderful opportunities not only to seek great skill from students in sports, but also to implant in them some valuable life lessons. Donta Green, a committed coach at Westinghouse High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvanian has brought his school team to victory. While part of this is down to physical fitness and practice, an improved general attitude has also played a key role in the team’s success.

One way Green has changed his players’ behaviors is a strict no-bad-words rule. This applies to players and coaches alike. If anyone uses bad language then they can expect to start doing push ups. In another way, the coach is also addressing the way the high school students dress. No students are to be seen wearing trousers hanging too low and players should walk the corridors of the school in suit and tie.

This is having a positive effect on the students and their academic success, with the team grade average being 3. 2. These changes are really affecting the way the players see themselves. As Keyshawn Morsillo, the team’s star quarterback, pointed out: “He’s changed us. Everyone on the football team used to have some bad behaviors. But he has showed us the right way to be a successful man. We look up at him and follow his footsteps. Really, he’s helping turn us from boys to men.”

This is impacting the general altitude for these students not just in the school, but how they’re perceived in the wider community, too.

“A lot of the things we do might seem like small things, but they add up to big things. There are things we do that set us apart from other programs. It’s just a lot of simple disciplines. That’s what is lacking in a lot of our young people.” pointed out Green.

While the team continues to impress, it’s important to take note on how these small steps can inspire others. We can strengthen in our own children the importance of behaving appropriately.

【1】Why did Donta Green try to change his plavers’ behavors?

A．To promote their overall quality.

B．To achieve their academic success.

C．To improve their communicative skills.

D．To focus their mind on physical training.

【2】What is the students’ attitude to the extra disciplines in the team?

A．Negative.

B．Skeptical.

C．Indifferent.

D．Supportive.

【3】What do Green’s words mean in paragraph 5?

A．Young people don’t have right attitude to life.

B．Children’s daily behaviors should be regulated.

C．All the students in his school behave themselves.

D．Disciplines are more important than skills

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．A coach has brought his school team to victory.

B．A player is changing from a boy to a sport star.

C．A coach is teaching players valuable life lessons.

D．A football team has won the heart of community

26、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。

Mr. Dawson was an old grouch (脾气坏的人), and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick a delicious apple, even off the ground, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his ball bullet gun.

One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawson’s house on the way to Amy’s house, but as they got close Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street. Like most of the children, she was scared of the old man because of the stories she’d heard about him.

Amy said not to worry, Mr. Dawson wouldn’t hurt any-one. Still, Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man’s house. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown, but when he saw it was Amy, a broad smile changed his entire face as he said, “Hello Miss Amy. I see you’ve got a little friend with you today.”

Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree. They gladly accepted. Dawson had the best apples in town.

When they got out of Dawson’s earshot, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he’s the meanest man in town. How come was he so nice to us?”

Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasn’t very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled back at him. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back at her.
