What do you think of cats? Some people think very lovely. But not all people love cats. Compared with dogs, cats seem to be very lazy and unfriendly. Besides, cats are not known for acts of selflessness (无私). But maybe we're wrong about them. Don't believe it? Then meet Pippa, a very unusual cat.
The black-and-white cat was left in a box outside a shop and taken by the British RSPCA to the Jansa family in Whitstable, Kent. They really loved her character (性格) and decided to adopt (收养) it，but they never guessed she'd become a lifesaver.
Eight-year-old Mia Jansa had diabetes and had become good at testing her blood during the day, as well as having something to eat or drink to bring her blood sugar levels back. But the danger was at night. Mia could easily experience hypoglycemic (低血糖症的) situations when she was asleep, which could cause even death.
Soon after she was adopted, Pippa went into Mia's bedroom in the middle of the night and woke her up. When the child tested her blood sugar levels, she found they were dangerously low. Ever since, Pippa always visits Mia at night. If she can't get her to wake up, she raises the alarm.
“Pippa does this of her own accord,” says Mia's mother Laura. “We don't make a request for caring because we don't want to encourage wrong alarms. She gets plenty of hugs. It gives me peace of mind and I know someone else is keeping an eye on Mia.”
Now the family is so happy that they've chosen to adopt it in the first place.
（1）Why did the family decide to adopt the cat?
A.Because they considered it as a lifesaver.
B.Because her character interested them.
C.Because they really loved her looks.
D.Because Mia Jansa needed help.
（2）What problem did Mia Jansa face?
A.She was bad at testing her blood.
B.She might suffer death in the daytime.
C.She might be in danger while asleep at night.
D.She couldn't let her blood sugar levels return to normal.
（3）For what does Pippa visit Mia at night?
A.To see if her blood sugar levels are normal.
B.To make her laugh when she's lonely.
C.To make sure that she is safe.
D.To play with the alarm.
（4）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Pippa does that according to her own habits.
B.Pippa does that without being asked.
C.Pippa does that for her own good.
D.Pippa does that without a purpose.
【答案】
（1）B
（2）C
（3）C
（4）B
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Mia一家收养的小猫pippa为了报答知遇之恩，晚上一直提醒有低血糖病的Mia，在有危险的晚上去测量血糖，监视她，以确保她的安全。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“They really loved her character (性格) and decided to adopt (收养) it，”他们确实喜欢她的性格，决定收养她。故选B。
（2）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“But the danger was at night. Mia could easily experience hypoglycemic (低血糖症的) situations when she was asleep, which could cause even death.” 危险是在晚上。Mia睡着了，她很容易经历低血糖症的情况 ，这甚至会导致死亡。可知当晚上睡着了她就会出现低血糖，而且会导致死亡，由此可推断出晚上睡着了很危险，故选C。
（3）考查推理判断。根据第三、四两段可知Mia有糖尿病，晚上会有低血糖，这时如果睡着了就会死亡。所以晚上Pippa每天晚上就去看Mia，把她叫醒让她测试血糖，以确保她是安全的。故选C。
（4）考查句义猜测。Pippa does this of her own accord,本句的意思为“Pippa”这样做完全是出于自愿。接着下文Mia的妈妈所说的话“We don't make a request for caring”我们没有要求得到关心照顾…。make a request for 要求得到,为……说话，提出请求。由此可判断出是pippa是自愿的，没有人对它有任何要求，故选B。

【题目】Exposed soil isn’t part of nature’s master plan. Good examples where soil is naturally found with no plants growing in are beneath freshly removed trees, or where the ground has been burnt by a land fire. In these situations bare soil isn’t bare for long; within days seedlings (芽) begin to appear and cover the ground. In a few months’ time, the scar is hardly noticeable.
Unlike these natural examples, ploughed (耕犁) fields and freshly dug gardens are obvious examples created by man. But, left to nature, even these bare soils soon turn green with a large number of tiny seedlings. In fields, gardens and on grasslands, roadside and sports fields, along streets and on paths and pavements, we are constantly battling to stop weeds from growing. All we are doing is stop the recovering powers of nature.
Whenever soil is exposed, weeds act like a kind of medicine to reduce the potentially harmful rays of the sun, so the sooner plant growth covers the soil over again, the better.
Weeds also help to improve the fertility (肥沃) of the soil. Their roots get the soil together, improving its structure and creating a more stable environment in which soil life can grow fast. Those weeds with a deep root draw up plant nutrients from deeper in the ground, making them available to plants growing near the soil surface. Above ground, the stems (茎) of weeds help trap fallen leaves which break down into the soil, adding to the fertility of the soil.
As the soil becomes more fertile, different kinds of plants start to replace the “pioneering” weeds. Bushes move in to take the place by gradually shading them out, followed in turn by trees, which eventually push up through the bushes, finally shading them out too. Fallen leaves from the bushes and trees carry on the job of building soil fertility that was begun by those very first weeds that grew on the bare soil. Then, when one of these mature trees is removed in a storm, leaving a wound of bare soil in the earth, the whole process starts again.
【1】When will soil be left bare?
A. A land fire has just happened. B. A young tree is planted in.
C. No one ploughs the land. D. No crops are planted in.
【2】Which of the following prevents the bare soil from recovering?
A. Seedlings appearing in gardens.
B. Reducing harmful rays of the sun.
C. Removing weeds from pavements.
D. Replacing plants in sports fields.
【3】What can weeds do for the soil?
A. They create soil life.
B. They help improve the soil.
C. They get nutrients from the sun.
D. They break down fallen leaves.
【4】How can the soil remain fertile after trees move in?
A. By adding more weeds to the soil.
B. By taking out the weeds constantly.
C. By removing the previous bushes.
D. By making use of the fallen leaves.

【题目】“How do you account for your remarkable achievements in life?”Queen Victoria of the UK asked Helen Keller. “How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf,you were able to achieve so much?”
Ms.Keller's answer is a tribute（致敬）to her kind teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan,the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”
According to speaker Zig Ziglar,Annie Sullivan was no stranger to hardship.She was almost sightless herself and was,at one time,diagnosed as hopelessly “insane” by her caregivers.She was locked in the basement of a mental institution.Occasionally,Annie would violently attack anyone who came near.Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence.
An elderly nurse believed there was hope,however,and she made it her work to show love to the child.Every day she visited Annie,and she left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement.She believed Annie could recover,if only she were shown love.
Eventually,doctors noticed the change in the girl.Where they once witnessed anger and hate,they naw noted a gentleness and love.They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve.Then the day finally came when this seemingly “hopeless” child was released.
Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she,herself,was helped by the kind nurse.It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller.She loved her,disciplined（约束）her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon（灯塔）of light to the world.Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helen's life;but in was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a kind teacher.

【题目】Pollution’s serious effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years.Most scientists agree that efforts are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.
As we know,the construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution.So green buildings are in great need.
The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity（生物多样性）,improved air and water quality,less waste flowing into streams and the protection of natural resources.Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality,improving the health of people who live there.
The process of building green includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind.Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw.In addition,recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings,reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.
Careful site selection is important to minimize（最小化）human effect on the surrounding environment.For example,placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes（微风）and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses.More energy and expense are needed for larger buildings as well,so it is important to build small.
Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and cost.These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants,which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low,prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.
Other features of green buildings often include energy and water protection,recycling and waste reduction.In addition,renewable energy sources such as solar power,waterpower and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the influence on the environment.
【1】What can we know about green building?
A. Producing no waste. B. Only using clean energy.
C. Being made of new materials. D. Environmental friendly.
【2】What is a green building probably like according to the fifth paragraph?
A. Large. B. Small.
C. Green. D. Low.
【3】What is the purpose of using green roofs?
A. To fit the environment. B. To keep warm.
C. To collect nature water. D. To lower costs.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A. Promoting energy efficiency. B. Environmental benefits.
C. Building green. D. Ecosystems and biodiversity.
