But recently, black cats can no longer enjoy so much favor.The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals（英国防止虐待动物协会）announced a rise in the number of black cats being abandoned by their owners, due to not looking good in selfies（自拍）.According to the RSPCA, more than 70 percent of the cats in its care are black. The biggest reason for that is black cats tend not to photograph as their lighter and brighter-colored fellows with more obvious markings. An RSPCA spokesman said, “This has become a national problem. And we are urging people to never judge a cat by its color but look at its personality instead.”The Millwood Cat Rescue Centre has taken in nice black cats in the past two weeks. The founder of the rescue centre said, “We have had a lot of black cats because people dont like black at the moment. Other look at the black cats and then just sayOh, have you got anything else?”Animal lover Gabriella Fletcher owns a 16-year-old black cat, Susie. She regularly takes selfies with her pet. She said, “It is hard to get a good picture as you cant really see how beautiful Susie is. She is just as special as any other cat.”5. Why are black cats less favored by people?A.

A【解析】这是一篇社会生活类文章。在英国，越来越多的黑猫在自拍的时候看上去不好看而被主人遗弃，不再受到人们的喜爱。【5题详解】细节理解题。由第二段中的“a rise in the number of black cats being abandoned by their owners,due to not looking good in selfies（自拍）”可知，黑猫被主人抛弃的越来越多，因为在自拍中看起来不好看。故D选项正确。【6题详解】句意理解题。由第三段中的“The founder of the rescue centre said,“We have had a lot of black cats because people dont like black at the moment.Other look at the black cats and then just say Oh,have you got anything else?”可知， 该中心有这么多黑猫，原因在于人们现在不喜欢黑猫，其他人看到黑猫后会说：“你们还有别的（猫）吗？”，由此可以推知，这些人不喜欢黑猫，希望看到别的猫，故结合选项，D选项正确。【7题详解】推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Animal lover Gabriella Fletcher owns a 16-year-old black cat,Susie.She regularly takes selfies with her petShe is just as special as any other cat”可知，Gabriella Fletcher是一个动物爱好者，她养了一只16岁的黑猫，她认为这只黑猫和其他动物一样特别。由此可以推知，她认为黑猫是有吸引力的。故D选项正确。【8题详解】标题归纳题。英国越来越多的黑猫因为在主人自拍的时候看上去不好看而被主人遗弃，不再受到人们的喜爱。文章对这一社会现象做了介绍和分析，故A选项适合做该文标题。CIn Korea, few of the older people can speak some English, and most of them cant say a word. They will often smile and laugh while trying to help English-speaking foreigners. But recently English learning has become popular with the youth. If you really need help, it is better to go younger. A lot of university students or young adults can speak at least basic English and will usually be very willing to help you. Actually even if you just look lost, a younger Korean will probably ask you if you need help. A lot of Koreans will take the chance to help you in order just to practice their English skillsa win-win situation. Everyone in Korea takes English classes these days starting from elementary(初级的) school normally. Many also join in after-school programs for studies.I was in my friends city which was about 4 hours driving from mine. In my city, they had the timetable in English as well as Korean, but that wasnt the case here. I could not read Korean at that time, so I could not find when my bus was planned to leave, and did not know how to ask. Luckily, as I was looking at the timetable with the eyes wide open (probably with a puzzled, or perplexed look on my face), a Korean person asked me if I need help. I told him where I was going and he showed me the timetable and even helped me buy my ticket!9. What can we know from Paragraph1?A. Most of the order Koreans speak English very well.B.

D【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，现在英语在韩国的年轻人中十分流行，作者来到朋友的城市里，因为不懂韩文看不懂时间表，后来在一位韩国人的帮助下解决了困难。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段第三句But recently English learning has become popular with the youth.可知现在韩国的年轻人很喜欢学习英语，英语收到了他们的欢迎。故D项正确。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第三句A lot of Koreans will take the chance to help you in order just to practice their English skillsa win-win situation.可知很多韩国人抓住帮助外国人的机会练习他们的英语。故B项正确。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段第二句In my city, they had the timetable in English as well as Korean, but that wasnt the case here.可知在作者朋友居住的城市里没有英语的时间表，只有韩文的时刻表，而作者不会讲韩文。所以当他睁大眼睛看时间表的时候，脸上是困惑的，不能理解时间表的表情。故该词意为“unable to understand”，故C项正确。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一句I told him where I was going and he showed me the timetable and even helped me buy my ticket!作者告诉他自己要去的地方，他向作者展示了时间表甚至还帮助作者买了车票。对于如此贴心的帮助，作者自然应该十分感激。故D项正确。DIn the early days of human history, people survived by hunting wild animals, or gathering wild grains and plants for food. Then, some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.From the sixteenth century on, the word “farm” has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word “farm” is linked to economics. The word “farm” comes from the Latin word “firma”, which means an unchanging payment. Experts say the earliest meaning of the English word “farm” was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural lands. In England, farmers used hawthorn trees along the edges of houses. They called this row of hawthorns a hedge. Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them. Soon, people began to use the word “hedging” to describe steps that could be taken to protect against financial loss. Hedging is common among gamblers who make large bets. A gambler bets a lot of money on one team. But, to be on the safe side, he also places a smaller bet on the other team, to reduce a possible loss.You might say that someone is hedging his bet when he invests in several different kinds of business. One business may fail, but likely not all. Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines. Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear. A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.13. We can know from the 3rd paragraph that farmers in early England _.A. had land of their own B. paid to use hawthorn trees every yearC. used hedging fields D. often suffered from financial loss14. Which of the following is wise?A. A mother tries to sleep as soon as her baby is quietB. Hay has to be cut and gathered before it is dryC. Put off gathering hay when the sun is shiningD. Gather hay as it is rainy15. If a boy is carefully listening to his teacher in class, he learns to _.A. become a wise farmer B. hedge his betC. gather his hay D. make hay while the sun shines【答案】13. C 14. A 15. D【解析】本文是一篇说明文，语言在发展过程中把农业生活中的一些词汇涵盖其中了，文章介绍了与农业行为相关的词汇，如hedging，make hay when the sun is shining等。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段前五句Farmers in early England did not own their land. They called this row of hawthorns a hedge. Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them.可知早期英国的农民是没有土地的，他们付钱租用土地，并用山楂树作为土地的边界，农民们就使用这种用山楂树作为边界的土地进行耕种。故C项正确。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines. Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear.可知当阳光灿烂的时候，人们制作干草。所以当阳光好的时候人们会把干草收起来，以防下雨。所以BCD三项是错误的。根据文章最后两句“A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.”可知聪明人会在适合的时候做适合的事情。A项“当孩子安静的时候母亲会努力睡一会”属于适合的时候做适合的事情。故A项正确。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第四句“So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining.”可知农民们在阳光好的时候收干草。D项就是指在正确的时候做正确的事情，题干中“男孩上课认真听讲”即属于这类活动。故D项正确。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。It is a tendency that more and more people enjoy keeping pets to drive off their loneliness.
