26、 Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to an outlet that is acceptable in the domestic (驯养的) setting.
One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to train its obedience. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training pens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.
Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack (群) by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.
Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.
【1】Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _________.
A. occur when they go wild
B. be just part of their nature
C. get worse in modern society
D. become a threat to the community
【2】The key to solving dogs’ behavior problems is to _________.
A. teach the dog to perform clever tricks
B. make the dog aware of its owner’s authority
C. enable the dog to regain its normal behavior
D. provide the dog with a pattern accepted by its owner
【3】Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?
A. To avoid being punished.
B. To show their affection for their masters.
C. To win leadership of the dog pack.
D. To show their willingness to obey.
【4】When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _________.
A. can give the dog more freedom
B. will enjoy a better family life
C. can give the dog more rewards
D. will have more confidence in himself
27、On May 24th 2021, Monday, two days after Yuan Longping, known as “father of hybrid rice”, passed away at the age of 91, the farewell ceremony for him was held in Changsha city, capital of Central China's Hunan province.
People from all walks of life, including many Hong Kong residents and stars, mourned his passing away. One essential reason why people are mourning Yuan, both in the Chinese mainland and in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, is that he helped this nation get rid of the threat of hunger. That's especially a matter of life and death to Hong Kong because it relies on import for over 95 percent of its food.
As a commercial city, Hong Kong produces little rice and almost imports all its rice and majority of vegetables and meat. The Chinese mainland is a main supplier of Hong Kong.
According to Ta Kung Pao, the mainland opened three freight trains that were used to carry agricultural products to Hong Kong in the 1960s, which operated until road transportation dominated the market in 2009. During the years, the trains transported over100 million pigs and calves, about 1 billion poultry animals, and numerous vegetables, fruit, and rice to Hong Kong.
As a port city and international financial and trade center, Hong Kong could exploit every piece of land with potentials for commercial use as well as inhabit the large numbers of residents. It is the mainland's food supply that makes it possible for Hong Kong to sustain its prosperity with little agriculture.
The abundant supply of food in the mainland has much to do with Yuan's hybrid rice. Actually, the Hong Kong people, like their compatriots on the mainland, have never forgotten his contributions. When Lui Che Woo Prize was established in 2015, the first session of sustainable development prize was awarded to Yuan. And his speech delivered after accepting that prize in Hong Kong Polytechnic University was also a welcome.
Now Yuan has passed away, but his contributions will be remembered forever.
【1】The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A.Yuan was honored by the society
B.Yuan was mourned only in the Chinese mainland
C.Yuan made great contributions to his country
D.Yuan provided 95% food for Hong Kong
【2】What does the underlined word “sustain” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Control.
B.Decide.
C.Block.
D.Ensure.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.The agricultural products sent to Hong Kong had little to do with Yuan.
B.In the 1960s the mainland only opened 3 trains to Hong Kong.
C.Yuan's hybrid rice was grown in Hong Kong on a large scale.
D.The Chinese mainland contributed a lot to Hong Kong's development.
【4】Where does the passage most probably come from?
A.A science fiction.
B.A newspaper.
C.A biography.
D.An agricultural journal.

29、When I was eight or nine years old, I wrote my first poem.
My mother read the little poem and began to cry. “Buddy, you didn’t really write this beautiful, beautiful poem!” Shyly, I said that I had. My mother poured out her welcome praise. Why, this poem was nothing short of genius!
What time will Father be home?” I asked. I could hardly wait to show him what I had accomplished. My mother said she hoped he would be home around 7. I spent the best part of that afternoon preparing for his arrival. First, I wrote the poem out in my finest handwriting. Then I used colored pens to draw a border around it. Then I confidently placed it right on my father’s plate on the dining table. But my father did not return at 7, Seven-fifteen, Seven-thirty. My father had begun his motion-picture career as a writer. He would be able to appreciate my poem even more than my mother.
It was almost 8 o’clock when my father burst in. He was an hour late, but he could not sit down. I can see him now, a big Havana cigar in one hand, the rapidly disappearing drink in the other, calling down bitter words on his employees.
Suddenly, he paused and glared at his plate. There was a silence. He was reaching for my poem. I lowered my head and stared down into my plate.
“What is this?” I heard him say.
“Ben, a wonderful thing has happened,” my mother said. “Buddy has written his first poem. And it’s beautiful, absolutely amazing”.
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to decide that for myself,” Father said.
I kept my face lowered to my plate. It was only 10 lines long. But it seemed to take hours. I remember wondering why it was taking so long. I could hear him dropping the poem back on the table again. Now was the moment of decision.
“I think it’s bad,” my father said.
I couldn’t look up. My eyes were getting wet.
“Ben, sometimes I don’t understand you,” my mother was saying. “This is just a little boy. You’re not in your studio now. These are the first lines of poetry he’s ever written. He need encouragement.”
“I don’t know why,” my father held his ground. “Isn’t there enough bad poetry in the world already? No law says Buddy has to become a poet.”
I couldn’t stand it another second. I ran from the dining room, threw myself on the bed and cried.
That may have been the end of the anecdote(轶事) — but not of its significance for me.
A few years later I took a second look at that first poem, and unwillingly I had to agree with my father’s tough judgment. It was a pretty bad poem. After a while, I worked up the courage to show him something new, a short story. My father thought it was overwritten but not hopeless. I was learning to rewrite. And my mother was learning that she could disapprove of me without ruining me. You might say we were all learning. I was going on 12.
As I worked my way into other books and plays and films, it became clearer and clearer to me how fortunate I had been to have had a mother who said, “Buddy, it’s wonderful!” and a father who shook his head no and drove me to tears with his, “I think it’s bad.” In fact all of us in life need that mother force, the loving force from which all creation flows; and yet the mother force alone is incomplete, even misleading, finally damaging, without the father force to caution, “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.” Between the two poles of affirmation (肯定) and doubt, both in the name of love, I try to follow my true course.
【1】What did the mother think of the Buddy’s poem?
A. She was so moved that she cried.
B. She believed Buddy needed advice from his father.
C. She considered Buddy had no talent for poetry.
D. She thought the poem was well written.
【2】Which underlined word in the following sentences best reflects Buddy’s eagerness to show his father the poem?
A. Then I confidently placed it right on my father’s place on the dining table.
B. He would be able to appreciate my poem even more than my mother.
C. I wrote the poem out in my finest handwriting.
D. I could hardly wait to show him what I had accomplished.
【3】The underlined sentence “My father held his ground” could best be replaced by ________.
A. My father began to explain his reasons
B. My father thought his comment is unreasonable
C. My father refused to change his opinion
D. My father got so angry that he rose to his feet
【4】From the passage, we can infer that the father can be best described as ________.
A. cruel and stubborn B. loving and matter-of-fact
C. bad-tempered and rude D. cautious and strict
