35、wly published study, cats seem to be able to predict the location of hiding prey (猎物) using both their ears and an inborn (天生的) understanding of how the physical world works. In a recent experiment, Japanese researchers taped 30 domestic cats reacting to a container that a team member shook. Some co

She struggled to get by the tough winter because her bills went up while her income went down. Her refrigerator sat
66、 empty. Her only food consisted of peanut butter, bread and bananas, only enough for two sandwiches. Worse still, it would be four days before she got paid. As Mary prepared to sit down and eat half of her remaining food, she heard a knock at the door. Who could it be on such a freezing night? Robbe
67、ry scenes from films flashed across her mind. Then Mary shook her head and laughed at her foolish thought-no robber would choose her as a target.

68、d you please spare a piece of bread? the stranger asked cautiously and politely in a weak but deep voice. “Im afraid not,” said Mary, “but I could make you a peanut butter and banana sandwich.”“That sounds wonderful,” the stranger answered.

69、plied, but you could come in and eat it at the table.”Not expecting both food and warmth, the stranger entered the house eagerly. Mary hurried off to the kitchen for the last four pieces of bread, peanut butter, and bananas. In a few minutes, she returned and invited him to sit down to eat what she
70、could offer. After eating, the man thanked and said goodbye to her. Looking outside, Mary hesitated a moment and said, If you dont mind, you can sleep on the sofa.” That would be good enough, responded the man gratefully. Mary went into her room, and locked the door. The next morning, when she woke

74、 stranger appears homeless. You have helped me restore faith in humanity so you deserve what you have received. Mary had no idea what the stranger meant until she saw a cheque worth $ 10,000. Tears of delight welled up in her eyes. As it turned out, the stranger, who got stuck in the heavy snow and turned to her for help, was a successful businessman. Gazing at the warm light cast through the window, she decided to pay the kindness forward whatever the future would hold.听力答案：1-5 ABAAC 6-10 BCCAB 11-15 BCBAB 16-20 ACBAC
