On market days when the farmers brought their goods to the little town to sell, I used to walk by them to chat. One of the farmers was telling me about a little stray (流浪) dog hiding among the market stalls (货摊). The thing that made us notice the dog was that he was sitting up, paws (爪) dangling (悬垂), staring at the passers-by hopelessly, begging for something that can remove his hunger.

“Look at that little fellow(家伙),” the farmer said, “I wonder where he’s from and how he can end up like this.” As he spoke, the stallholder (货摊主) threw the dog some bread, but when the man approached, the little poor thing ran away. I was standing there, trying to see where he had gone, when a young policeman came up to me. “I’ve been watching that dog begging all morning,” he said, “but I haven’t been able to get close to him.” “Yes, it’s strange. You can see he’s cute and friendly, but he’s also afraid. I wonder who owns him.” “I don’t think he has an owner, Mr. Harriot. I know just about all the dogs around here. But this one is a stranger to me.” I nodded. “I’m sure you’re right. He could have been treated badly by somebody and run away, or he could have been abandoned.” “Yes,” the policeman replied, “I don’t know how anybody can leave a helpless animal to watch over itself like that. I’ve had a few attempts (尝试) to catch him but it’s no good.”

Days later I met the policeman again and he told me that the dog had been caught, because it was against the law for a dog to go begging in the market. I couldn’t believe such a ridiculous (荒唐的) thing and asked him to take me to see the dog.

Paragraph 1:

We walked a short way to a dog cottage(笼舍).

Paragraph 2:

Days later, I revisited the cottage and felt a wave of relief (放心).

4 . 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。

Working with elephants is one of the most popular volunteer     1     (activity) in Thailand. And for good reason, these amazing creatures are huge, cute, and very intelligent. Often elephants     2     (view) as gentle animals, but it’s good to remember that this isn’t always the case. In the last few years, many elephants     3     (find) themselves treated badly, and they are beaten into     4     (give) performances or forced to overwork at money-hungry tourist attractions. A terribly-treated elephant can become angry and kill if it feels     5     (threaten).

All that being said, volunteering for elephant     6     (protect) can be a very rewarding experience. The important thing is to find the right opportunity. There are a number of elephant reserves (动物保护区) and parks, especially in Thailand     7     you can do meaningful work     8     (improve) the lives of elephants. The key is to do your research and watch out for places that promise you more than     9     (simple) big money.

If the volunteer organization seems to be paying attention to elephant rides and the elephants giving performances, please keep     10     mind that it is probably not a place with the elephants’ best interests.

6 . Have you ever lost your temper (脾气)? Did you shout or want to hit someone?

    1     You may get angry when something doesn’t go your way. Maybe you get mad at yourself when you don’t understand your homework or when your team loses an important game. Maybe your teacher gave you too much homework. Or maybe a friend borrowed your favorite video game and then broke it. That made your mad!

There are different ways people feel anger.     2     Are you breathing (呼吸) faster? Is your face bright red? Do you want to break something or hit someone? Anger can make you shout at those around you, even people you like or love.

Some people keep their anger buried deep inside. If you do this, you might get a headache or your stomach might start to hurt. You may start to cry.     3     You should find a way to let it out without hurting yourself or others.

Don’t lose control if you get angry.     4     Instead, admit to yourself that you are angry and try to know why, which helps to find the solution. What can you do to keep the situation from happening again? If your little sister gets a toy and you don’t, it’s not OK to break that toy. Maybe you can ask her to share it with you. It helps to talk about your anger with an adult, such as a parent, teacher, or relative.     5     That way you will feel good.

A．It’s not good to hide your anger.

B．Anger can even be a good thing.

C．Taking it out on others never solves anything.

D．Many things may make children angry.

E．Usually your body will tell you when you are angry.

F．Once you talk about anger, those bad feelings usually start to go away.

G．When someone you know is angry, he or she may stop talking to you or become quiet.

7 . By now, most of us have picked up at least one pandemic (疫情期间的) hobby. And there’s a seemingly common pandemic hobby trend: People who haven’t been able to go anywhere are making imaginary travel plans. Maybe you’re among those who have spent hours researching locations―even though you’re not actually planning to travel.

It turns out that you aren’t alone. People who seem to be interested in public safety recommendations are still planning trips they don’t intend to book. And, when I suddenly found myself addicted to an imaginary girls’ trip to Joshua Tree, I wondered whether this was a healthy distraction (注意力分散).

“It’s an escapist imagination,” said Regine Galanti, a psychologist, adding that there’s nothing wrong with escapism during a global pandemic.

On the one hand, distractions are often beneficial right now. We are a full year into living with COVID-19 as a pandemic, and that means you’ve probably had to navigate a range of emotions like discomfort, sadness, or even boredom. So any hobby that doesn’t harm anyone or endanger your well-being is probably a worthy attempt.

Even if vacation planning is your happy place, Dr. Galanti suggests you “actually think about what you’re trying to achieve.” Why? “Maybe what you’re saying is, I need a vacation from work,” Dr. Galanti explains. “Then take three days off even if you are not going anywhere. “When you figure out what you’re looking for, you might be able to find a small socially distanced adventure in your backyard or a quiet place. Vacation planning is a good way to spend some time, but there might be an even better way to get what you’re desiring.

Anyway, when uncertainty is all around us, creating things to look forward to isn’t a terrible idea. And when things are safer, you’ll have all your plans in place.

2. Which of the following can replace the word “navigate” underlined in paragraph 4?
