Unit 4 Earthquakes.阅读理解(建议用时16)A2017惠州调研Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr JeanLoup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets.“Technology is moving very fast，” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”This may not sit_well_with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it：“You dont have to feed it, you dont have to walk it, it wont make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.Its not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. Its the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesnt need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings，” he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets neednt have a heartbeat might not be a farfetched dream.篇章导读：随着科技的发展，一种新的宠物即将出现：机器人宠物。文章陈述了机器人宠物的特点。1What does the underlined phrase “sit well with” mean?ABe refused by.

Arrange a place for the family to meet, if you cannot return to your home after the earthquake.

People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months. Squirrels, for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. _1_They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut (黑胡桃) trees. _2_ The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. _3_ So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”_4_ But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century. The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade (涌入) Indiana. _5_AGray squirrels are native to Indiana.BBut they seldom remember where they buried every nut.CRed squirrels bury nuts in a different way.DThe black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels.EJake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.FScientists are worried that they will drive away the gray squirrels.GWell, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.篇章导读：本文为说明文，主要讲述了红松鼠和灰松鼠的生活习性以及它们的生活方式给环境带来的影响。1G根据下段第一句“They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana.”可知，该项中的scientists为关键信息。2D根据空格后“The black walnut tree is also a central part of some.”中的also可知，空格前在讲the black walnut tree。3B根据下文中“So some nuts remain in the ground.”可知，该空与下文为因果关系。故选B项。4A根据下文讲述的内容可知，此处应为主题句，并且与下句为转折关系，文中are native to为关键点。5E该选项中的them代指上文的red squirrels，且E项与上文均涉及环境主题。故选E。.语法填空(建议用时10)阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 2017山东师大附中打靶题In 2001, as ninth guiders, Finn and Anna volunteered to deliver produce to Woodstocks local food pantry (食物储藏室) through the _1_ (organize), Change the World Kids.
