6 . A new study involving the Chinese mountain cat of the Tibetan Plateau has determined that this type of wildcat did not give rise to a separate lineage (血统) of domesticated cats in Asia, as some researchers had supposed, reports David Grimm for Science. The finding supports the conclusions of previous research that suggested all modern domesticated cats originated from the African wildcat, a subspecies of wildcat that appears to have first been domesticated in the Middle East around 6,400 years ago.

The new study, published last week in the journal Science Advances, collected and sequenced the genetic (基因的) material of 27 Chinese mountain cats, 239 Chinese domestic cats and four Asiatic wildcats. The Chinese mountain cat is so rare and hard to find that the researcher’s samples all had to come from museum specimens (样本), roadkill and zoo animals, reports Jaime Chambers for Science News.

The curiosity as to whether the Chinese mountain cat might have contributed genes to at least some populations of modern domestic cats comes partly from the deep 5,300-year history between humans and cats in China and partly because the Chinese mountain cat had never been included in past comparative genetic studies, according to Science News.

The genetic results suggest that the Chinese mountain cat is a subspecies of wildcat rather than its own separate species. This could have a negative impact on the conservation of the Chinese mountain cat, which is listed as “vulnerable (易危)” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and is estimated to have a global population of fewer than 10,000 individuals. Per the IUCN, the cat’s population is in decline, largely due to habitat loss, poisoning and illegal hunting for its coat.

While there remains a lot of argument over how exactly to classify the Chinese mountain cat, Jim Sanderson, a wildlife ecologist with the conservation organization Re: wild, has argued for the Chinese mountain cat to be declared its own species. “The belief is that if it’s not a separate species, nobody cares. We ‘re living in an age of extinction,” Sanderson tells Science. “The Chinese mountain cat deserves every bit as much attention as the panda.”

1. In which way is the new study different from previous ones?

A．The time it has taken is much longer than before.

B．Most of the researcher’s samples are from zoo animals.

C．More Chinese domestic cats and wildcats are included.

D．The Chinese mountain cat is involved in genetic testing.

2. What is the problem with the Chinese mountain cat?

A．It is likely to die out in the near future.	B．It is being caught and sent to Africa.
C．It is damaging the local ecosystem.	D．It is now a threat to domestic cats.

3. Why does Sanderson tend to treat the Chinese mountain cat as a separate species?

A．To distinguish it from the other cats.	B．To end the argument over its classification.
C．To draw more tourists to the Tibetan Plateau.	D．To raise public awareness about its protection.

4. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?

A．To make the true facts of certain cats clear.	B．To identify cat species from around the world.
C．To explore the history between humans and cats.	D．To report a new study on cats in the Middle East.

7 . Restart Dogs are currently working with Adult Estates training prisoners to raise and train puppies as assistance dogs. The analysis found the program led to a reduction in reoffending (再犯) rates in prisoners compared to those who had not participated.

Based in the UK, Restart Dogs is a vocational education programme that trains adult prisoners to become assistance dog trainers. They raise and train dogs to become assistance dogs, teaching them key skills such as door manners, staying where they are asked, walking to heel on a loose lead, and settling next to their handlers while they work and study. But most importantly, they are learning to have faith in their handlers guiding them through their new adventures and environment.

The programme is paid for by the Prisoners Fund, raised by the work that prisoners do in prison. There are a few conditions that prisoners must meet before they can take part in the programme, for example, they must be free of behaviour-related violation (违反) for a specified period before admittance to the programme as well as continued good behaviour throughout the programme.

For prisoners, the benefits of training dogs have been well researched and recorded. Working with professionals to train dogs responsibly allows prisoners to improve their social skills, empathy, self-regulation, respect and overall well-being. The analysis reported a 36% difference in reoffending rates in the training group compared to the control group. These outcomes are similar to those found with more traditional programmes such as education, employment and training programmes.

Meanwhile, for people in need of an assistance dog, there can often be a long waiting list due to the length of time it takes to train an assistance dog—it usually takes two to three years. Thanks to the work that Restart Dogs is doing, as well as training the dogs for future success and happiness, prisoners are able to get a second chance in society!

1. What are the dogs mainly trained to learn?

A．To follow orders.	B．To cure the prisoners.
C．To trust the trainers.	D．To learn to be quiet.

2. Which is the requirement for the participants?

A．Having free time.	B．Being well-behaved.
C．Respecting officers.	D．Sticking to the end.

3. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A．The program works better than expected.

B．The program contributes to positive outcomes.

C．The trainer prisoners tend to be released early.

D．The program can replace other traditional ones.

4. What is the best title for the passage?

A．A Reform was Conducted in Prisons

B．Great Wonders were Created by Dogs

C．A Program Helped to Reduce Crimes

D．Prisoners Training Dogs Got Trained

8 . When I got a job as a waitress at Olive Garden, I hadn’t waited tables for 13 years, and it was the only place that would hire me with an employment gap like that. For the first time in over a decade, I felt at my wit’s end in my freelance (自由职业) writing business for so long that I needed to get a part-time job for inspiration.

My first day of employment was a few weeks before Thanksgiving on my 37th birthday. At first, I was worried about whether I could still physically do the job. But Olive Garden made it easy to relearn serving. For not long, my arms got stronger, I mastered the pace and got used to the chaos and I made friends with my co-workers.

On Valentine’s Day, I was surprised by what I saw. That night, Olive Garden was a madhouse. A fight was about to break out in the kitchen. Instead of three or four tables in my section, I had more like nine. In the mid of all this chaos, I was struck with a deep sense of appreciation for what I was doing. Standing in that packed dining room, with my apron and name tag on, I saw myself in the guests — the big families getting together to celebrate love and the couples who were there on casual dates. It was a place of good memories.

After that, I have made a practice of getting inside others’ minds, asking myself what people might be experiencing when they are in a confused or bad state. And I have made it a personal challenge to make them happy. Later, I left when my writing work became stable again, however, the experience provides me with completely fresh perspectives towards life.

1. What does the underlined phrase “at my wit’s end” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．Dried up.

B．Out of mind.

C．Out of hope.

D．Tired out.

2. How did the writer feel about her part time job?

A．It’s lucky to get a job to support her writing.	B．It’s easy to serve the tables in Olive Garden.
C．It’s a chance to bridge the employment gap.	D．It’s challenging but she adapted to it quickly.

3. What happened on that Valentine’s Day in Olive Garden?

A．An awful fight occurred.	B．It was crowded with mad people.
C．It burst with many guests.	D．Some servers left for celebration.

4. What change did the experience bring to the writer?

A．She became more considerate.	B．She was better at making friends.
C．She found writing more meaningful.	D．She became braver to face challenges.
