    【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
    B
    Animals can be extremely protective of their young. But when hard times call, animal fathers can be really a danger to their own kids.
    Daddy Lion
    A combination of laziness, pride, cruelty and anger makes the lion one of the most fearsome and worst dads of the animal kingdom. When not walking proudly across the jungle, the father lion just lazes around under the sun, or waits for one of its lioness(母狮子) partners to bring back food. Once the lioness gets home the food, the lion eats up most of it, and leaves little or nothing at all for the kids. The father doesn't even train the kids for hunting and surviving, it is the lioness who teaches them how to fend for themselves.
    The Polar Father
    Cute, pure and soft. Protective of young ones and family? Sure. But what makes the polar bears one of the worst dads of the animal kingdom? They don't take care of the young ones, they won't take up the responsibility of feeding them, they won't take care of them like a father should. They just leave that to the mother bear.
    The Assassin Bug(猎蝽)
    Size matters, you say? This little bug would eat its own eggs to stay strong and fulfill its hunger needs. The male assassin bug is actually responsible for guarding the eggs. The female assassin bug lays eggs in large numbers. The male bug eats the weaker eggs.
    Daddy Bass(岩鲈鱼)
    Usually, water calms you down. Not so much for this underwater species. The male bass is known to eat up eggs from its own spawn. It guards the spawn(子，卵) laid by its female partner. However, when hungry and unable to hunt for food, the father won't think twice before eating up the eggs.
    And do you think your father was strict and hard? After reading this article, I'm sure you think your dad is the best in the whole wide world for not eating you up!

    A.are protective of their young
    B.are respected by their young

    【题目】When Sarah Hansen first came to Bonnie Schlachte’s ballet studio, she jokingly called herself a “weeble-wobble,” telling her ballet teacher that when she tried to walk, she would fall. “She couldn’t walk across the room without holding on to something,” recalls Schlachte. “She would immediately fall.”

    Hansen was only in middle-school, but a progressive neurological disease was hindering her ability to walk, let alone do ballet. But Hansen had a tenacious spirit and desperately wanted to learn ballet. Hansen joined in weekly group classes at Schlachte’s ballet studio called Ballet for all Kids, a studio that teaches children with disabilities. Soon after she began classes and private lessons, her family saw a vast improvement in her ability to move.

    She worked tirelessly in the studio, focusing on what her instructor wanted from her. “At the time, her foot wouldn’t fully rest on the floor,” explains Schlachte. “That’s why she couldn’t stand on her own, there was no support.”

    Schlachte pushed her student, explaining to Hansen that her brain has neuroplasticity(可塑性) so eventually it will receive the message.

    As a mom, a classically trained ballerina, and holding a degree in psychology, Bonnie Schlachte was the perfect person to push Hansen to do her best. Schlachte put herself through college with dance and theater scholarships. After graduation, she came across an opportunity with children with developmental disabilities. She fell in love and chose to focus on jobs in that field.

    Years later, Schlachte found herself watching and celebrating Hansen, who at one point could barely walk, was now moving across the floor on her own two feet. “One day, her ankle dropped, and she put her whole foot on the ground,” says Schlachte. “I was crying, her mom was crying, it was a great moment.”

    【1】Why did Sarah Hansen call herself a “weeble-wobble”?

    A. She met Bonnie Schlachte for the first time.

    B. She had great difficulty in walking properly.

    C. She could walk very fast carrying something.

    D. She would stop herself from falling quickly.

    【2】What kind of person was Sarah Hansen?

    A. Determined and hard-working.

    B. Energetic and confident.

    C. Happy and generous.

    D. Anxious and careful.

    【3】What did Schlachte do to help Hansen walk?

    A. She put Hansen’s foot fully on the floor.

    B. She pushed Hansen in a wheelchair.

    C. She asked Hansen to control her brain.

    D. She paid the fee for her.

    【4】What made Schlachte and Hansen’s mother cry?

    A. Hansen’s degree in psychology.

    B. Hansen’s dance and theater scholarships.

    C. Hansen’s opportunity with children.

    D. Hansen’s improvement in walking.

    【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
    There's no one reason why women return to school. Going back to school provides private and public benefits. College graduates, generally enjoy higher salaries, (employ) more consistently, and work in nicer conditions. College-educated people vote more, give more to charity, and rely (little) on government support.
    Making the switch from (support) to supporting oneself can be a challenge, often a necessary one. Financial (dependent) for women is key, says Nancy Schlossberg, professor at University of Maryland. “I think important for women to do some direct achievement, because chances are that women will live alone in later life, either divorced never married.”
    To Schlossberg, education is critical in the long run. She says, “You are going to do much better than before you have a good education; you are going to be happier than before on condition that you have education that enables you to do what you have to do in life. The question is you are ready at this time to go for it.

    【题目】阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四项个选项（A，B，C和D）中选出最佳选项。
    D
    More and more Americans are showing an interest in healthy and locally-produced food. As the interest increases, raising chickens has been gaining popularity in some American cities.
    “Look, we get three eggs this time.”
    Collecting eggs is a daily pleasure for the Hurst family. Naomi Hurst says her family started to raise chickens in back of their home in Maryland a month ago.
    “We have wanted to try having backyard chickens for a couple years now. And really just didn't have the time to build my own coop（鸡笼；鸡舍） and look out where to buy chickens. And then we met Rent a Coop,” said Naomi Hurst. Rent a Coop is a chicken rental business. Tyler Phillips launched the company with a partner 18 months ago. It comes with a mobile coop on wheels, two egg-laying hens, feed, bedding, water bowl, feed bowl, and our 24-hour chicken hotline. You can call with any questions. The price is 185 dollars for four weeks. After the four weeks passed, individuals can extend the rental agreement, return everything or purchase the animals and supplies.
    Tyler Phillips designs and makes the coops. He says he wants to do as little damage as possible to the environment.
    “We always try to have as many recycled materials as possible. And I want the coops to be safe for kids. I want the chickens to be comfortable and they have access to the grass while being inside the coop. I want it to be easily movable, light weight,” he said.
    Some cities require people have large pieces of land, if they want to raise farm animals. Others require an agreement with neighbors, limit the number of chickens, or, even ban the birds.
    Tyler Phillips expects that would change as interest in small poultry (家禽) coops grows.
    “I see cities around the D. C. area changing laws almost monthly and different cities will change the law to being prochicken(赞成养鸡). That is happening all around the United States,” he said,
    He believes that there will be chicken rental businesses in most American cities within five years.
    （1）According to the passage people raise chickens probably to __________.
    A.save the living cost
    B.reduce farmers' burden
    C.solve the employment problems
    D.get safe and healthy food
    （2）The Hurst family used to have trouble in ____________.
    A.building a website for raising chickens
    B.building the coops and buying the chickens
    C.finding some place to raise the chickens
    D.persuading the neighbours to accept their idea
    （3）We can learn from the passage that __________.
    A.you can enjoy the Rent a Coop service after 18 months
    B.you can search online for any questions related to raising chickens
    C.you can pay for keeping the supplies and the chickens for ever
    D.you can pay 185 dollars a week for renting things to raise the chickens
    （4）Tyler Phillips designed and made the coops ____________
    A.based on the environmentally friendly concept.
    B.based on the government's supporting policy.
    C.to help advertise the organic and local food.
    D.to meet his neighbors' need of raising chickens.

    【题目】For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans. Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture. Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today, Strauss’ invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.

    Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829.【1】 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother’s dry goods business. This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention. After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortune.

    Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals. Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth.【2】When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners. These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.

    In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets(铆钉). This made the pants last a long time. Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent.【3】

    By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.

    He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry. The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.

    A.As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.

    B. Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.

    C. He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.

    D. However, he did not get much business for those products.

    E. As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.
