Returning to the United States in 1965, Waters found that sometimes it seemed       1     (likely) for her to get just fresh bread and jam as America was a land of frozen food.   She began to miss the happy days       2     she spent enjoying delicious food and cafe in France.

4 . Which are the better pets, cats or dogs? Staff from New Horizon network team have carried out a study which lasted a fortnight and they published their conclusion on their home page last Friday — dogs are better pets than cats by a whisker.

Staff from New Horizon first listed the areas where cats fared better. These included having bigger brains compared to their body size, which is said to make them do better in complex functions such as memory and attention than dogs. Cats’second point was given for being more popular, with 204 million living in the top ten cat-owning nations compared to 173 million dogs in the ten countries where dogs are favored. Cats also get more attention from humans, with purrs (呼噜声) and miaows easily to be noticed. Although dogs can vary their barks, they cannot match the attention-seeking of cats. Additionally, cats can see in lower light than dogs and have a far wider hearing range and a sharper sense of smell. They are also said to be “greener” pets because their smaller appetites mean less area of land required to farm the food.

But in the other six categories examined — many of which related to getting on with humans — dogs had the edge.

Dogs have a longer shared history with humans, maybe as long as 135,000 years. Cats are relative newcomers to our homes. Similarly, dogs have a greater ability to bond with the 订masters. Even four-month-old puppies choose a human companion over another dog. Dogs scored a third point for their better powers of understanding and following human gestures. One study found that a dog called Rico had mastered the meaning of more than 200 words. The ab 山 ty to perform roles such as being a guide dog for the blind meant dogs were rated better than cats when it came to their problem-solving abilities. And they are easier to train.

With the scores tied at five-all, the deciding point fell on usefulness — with dogs coming out on top.

Dogs, studies show, help cut human stress, while taking them for walks keeps their owners fit and helps them meet new people. New Horizon says: “Dogs can hunt and guard. They can sniff out drugs and bombs; they guide blind and deaf people, find someone buried in ruins, and possibly even predict earthquakes.”

The study conducted by the staff and their conclusion went viral the moment it was released and has caused a heated discussion among pet owners. Some frowned at it, arguing that it had only involved character, intelligence and usefulness.

1. Which of the following is cats’advantage?

A．They are better at grasping their owners’ instructions.

B．They have larger brains than dogs.

C．They have a sharper sense of taste.

D．They affect the environment less.

2. The underlined phrase “by a whisker” in paragraph 1 probably means ______.

A．considerably	B．in some aspects
C．a little bit	D．exactly the same

3. We can know from the passage that ________.

A．the study lasted a week

B．four-month-old puppies are more capable of picking a human companion

C．all the pet owners didn’t agree with the conclusion

D．people pet dogs to predict earthquakes

4. Which would be the best title of the passage?

A．Cats beat dogs	B．Fight like cat and dog
C．Befriend with cats and dogs	D．Cats versus dogs

5 . Be it the flu or the coronavirus (冠状病毒), we can all take one basic step to keep ourselves healthy--wash our hands regularly. But how _________ would you be to know that the practice of handwashing was not always around? We can thank a_________   for this important practice: physician Ignaz Semmelweis.

It was 1846     _________   no one knew germs (病菌) existed. Semmelweis worked at the Vienna General Hospital _________ two parts.The hospital’s ward was so large that doctors and midwives (助产士) divided it in half.

While looking after the women, Semmelweis noticed something___________   The women in the doctors’ ward were more likely to catch the fever than the women__________   by the midwives. Semmelweis also knew that the doctors worked in the ward before operating_________ the women. Semmelweis came up with a theory: the doctors__________ the women with dirty particles (微粒) from dead bodies! To test his theory, he _________ doctors to wash their hands with chlorine (氯) before going to the ward.   The rate of death _________ significantly.

________ , the practice of washing hands did not become widespread.   Semmelweis’ theory could not explain why women who gave birth outside of hospitals still contracted childbed fever. Many doctors _________   to believe that they were “responsible” for the disease. As a result, the medical community cast doubt on the practice of washing hands.

Handwashing was finally officially adopted in the 1980s by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They_________   handwashing as an important factor in preventing the spread of infections. Despite this, handwashing is only performed one-third to half as often as it should be.

6 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Falling     1     the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, the traditional Chinese Mid-Autumn festival is all about the full moon and family reunion it represents. When people sit together at night and enjoy the glorious moon, an ancient poem, “Prelude to Water Melody”(水调歌头), is often read for this occasion.

Critics say it’s     2     (probable) the best poem on the Mid-Autumn. After it    3     (write), all the other poems on the harvest moon (丰收之月) could be well-forgotten. So why is this poem so special?

The story     4     (date) back to the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year 1076. Su Shi, a great writer of the Song Dynasty (960—1279), could not sleep that night, missing his geographically separated dear brother Su Zhe.     5     (look) at the moon and thinking of his brother, as well as the ups and downs (沉浮)of his own life, Su Shi drank some wine and composed a poem, or more specifically a “ci”,     6     (call) “Prelude to Water Melody.”

For the first two lines, the writer compares the life of a man with the changing face of the moon. A full moon represents perfection and unity,     7     a gloomy (黑暗的) night may remind people of their bad luck.

However, he soon realizes that no one has an easy ride(一帆风顺), just like the moon may not always be bright. The imperfections, or the unsatisfactory things have been going on since the beginning of time. That’s why     8     poet says so.

So Su Shi gives his optimistic answer: change your attitude and stay positive. The poet hopes people can avoid indulging in(沉湎于) the sorrow of life and instead appreciate the fact that no matter where they are, as long as the ones they love and miss are     9     (health) and happy, they all can admire the same moon high in the sky and share this eternal(永恒的)    10     (beautiful).

7 . Seeing is believing and a small act can make a big difference. Deep in heart, I feel it. All began with a perfect score I received in my paper about the life cycle of the monarch butterfly.

Three years ago, I raced home to share the exciting news with my graceful grandmother Nana. Surprisingly, it ________ her childhood memories. “At that time,” she said, ________ in thought, “especially late summer, oceans of those butterflies were a common sight, a miracle (奇迹) of nature. We felt like standing in an orange ________.”

“Incredible. It sounds like you witnessed an epic ________, but what happened later?” I asked curiously. “Frankly speaking, I’ve never known. Actually, there do seem to be fewer monarchs around the neighborhood” Nana ________ regretfully. So we decided to ________ thoroughly.

Then, at the public library, going all out, we ________, reflected and researched, smoothly ________ abundant information, concerning but fascinating. Obviously, the number of monarchs has declined ________ for the last several decades with their habitat destroyed by housing developments. Hopefully, the ________ could be turned by creating a Monarch Waystation (驿站). Nana and I jumped ________ the opportunity to set up our own.

Nana presented the idea to her garden club. More and more people not only started to plant flowers in their private gardens, but joined hands to plant a butterfly garden next to the city fountain. My friends and I spread leaflets telling people in our community how to build Monarch Waystations. Unexpectedly, from across the country, dedicated monarch enthusiasts   ________ us with their own observations, ideas and findings. As summer progressed, our efforts ________ !   

One day when the sun was shining and the sky was deep blue, suddenly, just as Nana remembered, a few fluttering (颤动的) orange wings, laced with black lines and bordered with white dots, soon became thousands of soaring butterflies. As monarchs ________ above and around us gracefully and merrily, Nana cried tears of happiness, hugging me tightly. It was really a(n) ________ experience.

Seeing is believing. Now I know what it means to stand in an orange cloud of monarchs. Truly, a small act makes a big difference.

9 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

The school picnic day was on Sunday, and on Saturday morning I decided to ask Mum some questions. As soon as Mum took the last bite of her toast, I decided I couldn’t wait for her any longer and asked, “Mum, where is Italy?”

My mum pushed up her glasses and looked at me with her head to one side. Then she said, “Italy is an European country which is very far away from here, my love. Why do you want to know that?” I shrugged (耸肩), “That’s where Mike, the new boy in our class is from.”

She nodded and invited me to go to fetch the geography book. The book was big and Mum always kept the very big books on the bottom shelf of our bookcase. I watched as Mum flipped to the index and then to a page near the middle. “Here we go,” she said, turning the map around to show me. I let my finger meet hers where it said the word “Italy” in capital letters. According to the introduction to the country on the page, Mum helped me know more about the country.

“You know, Mum, Mike’s parents are extremely busy working in the downtown. He seldom eats regularly let alone (更不用说) have his native foods. I really want him to be very happy for his first picnic with us…” I paused and observed Mum, worried that Mum would think that it was silly and maybe a waste of money buying food only to give it away. But she didn’t. Instead, she said, “I think that’s a brilliant idea! Go and get ready, and we’ll head out on a big shopping.”

10 . Friendship makes life more enjoyable and enriches one’s everyday experiences. Finding friends can be challenging but can often be achieved by approaching others with common interests. As we move through life, we find that there are many things out of our control.    1    One thing that we can control is who our friends are, and this decision can either make our lives so much richer and beautiful, or more stressful and disappointing.    2    

Why friends are so important?

Having solid friendships is important for two main reasons. First, they make life more enjoyable. We get to share the beautiful aspects of life with people who we love, which can enrich our everyday experiences.    3    Having friends to support us through hard times can make unimaginably difficult situations seem more tolerable.

    4    

This might sound silly, but finding friends can be challenging! Through my personal experience, I learned that it was important to enjoy life instead of struggling for excellence all of the time. Friendship comes into existence where two souls have a lot in common and are found close in reading clubs or fitness centers, etc.

Is the friendship more one-sided?

    5    Friends help enrich our lives, but we enrich theirs too! Friendship gets us through the tough times in life, makes things more fun and enjoyable, and all-around makes our lives better. The backbone of any successful friendship is one where both sides put in equal effort and support.

A．Where do we find friends?

B．What draws people together as friends?

C．Second, our friends help us through the difficult times.

D．Today we’ll focus on the following questions on how to choose friends.

E．This forced me to seek out other ways to form connections with people.

F．The most beautiful friendship is pouring time and energy into both sides.

G．We can’t choose our parents, or control the things happening in the world.
