Outside, I heard the sounds of cats crying. I couldnt stop- I would have to look for the cats after the fi
13、re was put out.It took a long time to finally bring the big fire under control. No one inside was hurt. At that point I was free to find out where the cat noises were from. There was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. I followed the meowing to the sidewalk in front of the garage
14、. There, crying and huddled together, were five frightened kittens . They must have been inside the building, as their fur was badly hurt.I wanted to find the mother cat. It was obviously that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all her babies, one by one-unbelievable.We finally fou
15、nd her. Her paws and face were blackened, and her fur was burned all over. You could even see her reddened skin under the burned fur. She could hardly move. I picked her up, and she relaxed in my arms as much as her pain would allow. I was determined to save this brave little cat and her family.The
16、veterinarian told me they would watch the kittens and their mother for the night, but they werent confident about the about the mothers chances.About a week later, I found out she was going to live. We named her Scarlet because of her reddened skin.I was happy to see Scarlet get together with the ki
17、ttens again. She touched each of them, nose to nose. She had risked her life five times-and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived.As a firefighter, I see heroic acts every day. But what Scarlet showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can only come from a mothers love.23,Which f the
18、 following is TRUE according to the story?A The writer went to look for the cats as soon as he heard them cryingB The firefighters put out the fire quickly and no one was hurt.C The writer didnt find the cats until the smoke and heat were gone.D The mother cat moved all her babes out of the fire to
19、a safe place.24,Why was the writer determined to save the cats?A Because he was amazed at the mother cats courage. B Because the cats attracted many peoples attention.C Because he didnt want to see any living things die .D Because it had taken him much time and effort to save them.25,The writer talk
20、s about the cats story to show that_.A animals should be taken good care of.B mothers love can be great and brave.C it is meaningful to help others .D a cat always has nine lives.BHave you ever noticed that your fingertips are winked when youve just finished swimming or washing dishes? It seems as i
21、f your hands have aged 30 years i a second. But is this an accident? Or is it something that nature has built into our bodies?If your fingers wrinkling up had no use at all, “ it wouldnt need to.” Professor Tom Smulders from Newcastle University, UK, told BBC News. By studying wet fingers closely, S
22、mulders and his partners found that the wrinkles looked a bit like the patterns on the car tire or o the bottom of the running shoes. So they made a guess that wrinkles on fingers might be able to help the hand hold things more tightly.To test this, researchers asked 20 people to pick up marbles fro
23、m water with their hands. But before they started, some of the people had to keep their hands in water for half an hour.The researchers found that the people with wrinkled fingers completed the task the task faster than those with dry hands. But when they were asked to move dry marbles, all the peop
24、le performed equally well, no matter they had the wrinkled fingers or not.Our ancestors might not have played with marbles, but wrinkled fingers could have made it easier for them to climb around in the wet forests and catch fish from rivers, researchers say.Similarly, our toes also get wrinkled in
25、water. This may have developed from our ancestors need to run on wet ground.But the question is, if wrinkled fingers are so helpful, why dont our hands just stay that way all the time? Researchers explained that wrinkling has its disadvantage: wet fingertips are far less sensitive than smooth ones,
26、reducing our sense of touch.26, What does the underlined world “this ” in the third paragraph refer to?A. Wether fingers have wrinkles after they are put in water.B. Wether wrinkled fingers can hold things more tightly.C. Why keeping things in water makes them wrinkled.D. Why wrinkles help hands hol
27、d things more tightly.27, The test shows that _.A. winkled hands hold dry things more tightly than dry hands do.B. dry hands hold dry things more tightly than wrinkled hands do.C. winkled hands hold wet things more tightly than dry hands do.D. dry hands hold wet things more tightly than wrinkled han
28、ds do.28. What might be the disadvantage of wrinkled fingers?A. They are too sensitive to be touched.B. They might be more likely to get hurt.C. They cannot hold things tightly enough.D. They are not so sensitive as dry fingers.COne of sweetest memories as a child is of going down to the river and s
29、itting comfortably on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to songs of birds. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under the pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original state after the wind had died down.When
30、I think about the bamboo trees ability to bend and move back, the word “resilience” comes to my mind. When it is used for a person, this word means the ability to readily recover(恢复) from shock, sadness or any other suffering. Have you ever felt like you were going to snap? Have you ever felt like y
31、ou were at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived to talk about it.Life is a mixture(混合) of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but dont
32、 break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.An amount of hope will take you through the unpleasant suffering. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem. The unpleasant suffering may be easier to deal with if the end result is
33、worth having.If things get tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo trees, bend, but dont break!29. What does the word “snap” in the second paragraph most probably mean?A. break B. changeC. win D. Complain30. What can help people get through sufferings according to
34、the writer?A. Holding peace and quiet in mind. B. Waiting until sufferings disappear.C. Experiencing more bad times. D. Hoping for a better tomorrow.31. What would be the best title of this passage?A. Memories of Bamboo B. Be Like BambooC. Enjoying Bamboo D. Characteristics of BambooD Many of us fee
35、l uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact(接触) with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable? Its all about personal peace, which means not only an imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all
36、 the senses. People feel that their space is being violated(侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume(香水) makes you feel angry. Whether people have had a stron
37、ger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire(渴望) to have space to themselves. In a survey by TripAdvisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather hav
38、e larger seats than extra food. Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers. Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats w
39、ill usually be taken first, because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall. Preference(偏好) for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space t
40、han people from other cultures. In Latin(拉丁人的) cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.32. The writer mainly _ in this article.A. tells us how to achieve personal spaceB. explains why people need personal spaceC. introduces some knowledge about personal spaceD. ar

A person who has been watched by a stranger for a long time.C. A person who hears strange noises when reading
42、 at home.D. A Latin boy who is chatting with a friend sitting close to him.34. What can we know from the survey by TripAdvisor?A. People need a smaller personal space in recent times than before.B. People have a strong desire for personal space in recent times.C. There are not enough seats on the pl
43、ane to meet peoples needs.D. Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses.B. If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space wont be violated.C. P

45、c is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted.

47、.Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores the emotive meanings. We need every possible way to discover and response to our world because no one way can get it all.Music is a form of thought, as powerful as scie
48、nce. It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we expresses our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings t
