21、A vegetarian diet is often praised for its health benefits（益处）. Vegetarians usually have lower levels of heart disease, and studies have also shown that they have a lower risk of diabetes（糖尿病）than people who eat meat. However, most people don’t realize that a vegetarian diet produces less pollution to the earth.

Researchers from the Union of Concerned Scientists in the US recently studied how people affect the environment. The study showed that eating meat is one of the main ways that humans can change the environment, second only to the use of motor vehicle.

Then, how can eating meat have a bad effect on the environment? For a start, all farm animals such as cows, pigs, and sheep give off methane gas（沼气）by breathing. One cow can produce up to 60 liters of methane each day. Methane gas is the second most common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）. Many environmental experts now believe that it is more responsible for global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated（估计）that 25% of all methane released（释放）into the air comes from farm animals.

Another way that meat production affects the environment is through the use of water and land. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef while only 20 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of wheat. One acre of farmland used for crop（农作物）production can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots, or 50,000 pounds of tomatoes, however, one acre of farmland used for raising cows can produce just 250 pounds of beef.

Many people now see the benefits of a vegetarian diet, not just for health reasons, but also because it plays an important role in protecting the environment. However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian, or vegan diet. They believe a vegan diet, which excludes（拒绝）all products from animal sources, such as cheese, eggs, and milk, can be short of many necessary vitamins and minerals our bodies need.

Today, many people know that it is important to take better care of their bodies, and to use the earth’s resources more efficiently. As this understanding spreads, more people may realize that to help the environment and for the human race to survive, more of us will need to become vegetarian.

A．a person who eats healthy food

D．a person who only eats vegetables, grains（谷物）, and fruit

23、

Recently, keeping pets has become more and more popular in China, especially among the young. According to the research, cats are the fastest growing group among all pet animals. Some may think it has something to do with the cute appearance of cats. However, as far as I know, there are quite a few more reasons behind why young people today are choosing to become “cat servants”.

For starters, young people are under great social pressure and communicate less with others. As a result, many of them may experience feelings of loneliness when they are at home. So having a pet in your home can be a nice choice. After a long day’s work, you can feel less lonely by knowing that there’s going to be a living thing there waiting to greet and spend time with you. Pets can give you a sense of being needed. You can always tell your sorrows to cheer yourself up, or share your secrets with them.

Then, why do people keep cats instead of dogs? Because cats have several advantages over dogs. For example, cats don’t need to be walked like dogs, and often, cats keep themselves cleaner. Cats are also more independent than dogs, which allows cat owners to spend more time on their own hobbies and to stay with them freely. Moreover, cats are quiet animals. As a senior high school student, I preferred to share my bad feelings with friends. But anyway, keeping a cat is amazing and you can always give it a try.

【1】What does the underlined word “sorrows” mean?

A．Sadness

B．Kindness

C．Happiness

D．Brightness

【2】How does the writer explain the reason why people keep cats instead of dogs?

A．By asking questions.

B．By listing numbers.

C．By telling a story.

D．By giving examples.

【3】What does the writer think of keeping a cat?

A．Doubtful

B．Worried

C．Agreeable

D．Hopeful

【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Experiences of Being Cat Owners.

B．Reasons behind the Rise of Cat Servants

C．Problem of Keeping Pets.

D．Advice on How to Keep Cats.

24、   Students these days often have a lot of 【1】 (worry). Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. What can they do about this?
