legs very much. gorge does this when he meets someone new or cant see the tv. his owner, andrew park, has put several hundred pictures on the internet. and people all like the lovely cat. now gorge has more than a thousand fans.andrews family moved to a new house six weeks ago. in their old house, gorge never stood on his back legs before. but after about three weeks in their new house, he began doing this happily. but no one in the family knows how or why he wants to do this. the family also has two dogs, apple and banana. but gorge quickly became the king in the house. now the dogs like to follow him and play with him.“he has really short front legs. so maybe it is difficult for him to climb up onto things like other cats. and it is easier for him to stand up. if theres a noise in the next room, he does it, too,” andrew said.why did andrew put gorges pictures on the internet? andrew answered: “he brings us so much joy and happiness. so we thought we should share it with others.”although gorge has an unhappy face, he is the friendliest cat the family has ever had. “we take him for a walk after dinner every day. and all our neighbors like him. he likes playing with others very much. he is also my alarm clock. he wakes me up every morning by climbing on my chest,” andrew said.21. how many fans does gorge have?a. more than one hundredb. more than one thousandc. several hundredd. several thousand22. we can learn from the second paragraph that _.a. there are three cats in the family b. andrew taught gorge to stand upc. gorge began standing up six weeks ago d. the family moved house several weeks ago23. why might gorge like to stand up?a. because his front legs are short b. because his back legs are strongerc. because he learnt to do it from tv shows d. because he doesnt know how to climb up onto things24. according to the last paragraph, gorge_.a. has a funny faceb. enjoys a walk every dayc. doesnt like to play with strangers d. makes a noise to wake andrew up busing too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. you may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less usable fresh water. a major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. it comes from underground. the more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺). areas of drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than ones with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. in the united states, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! this shows how much we depend on water to live, but theres a lot we can do to lower the number.you can take steps to save water in your home. to start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. wash it only once a day. run your dishwasher only when it is full. help your parents fix any leaks (泄露、漏洞)in your home. you can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.25which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?a. using river water. b. throwing batteries away.c. paving parking lots. d. throwing rubbish into lakes.26what can be inferred from the text?a. all water shortages are because of human behavior.b. it takes a lot of efforts to meet our water needs.c. there is much we can do to reduce family size.d. the average family in america makes proper use of water.27the last paragraph is intended to _. .a. show us how to fix leaks at home b. tell us how to run a dishwasherc. prove what drinking glass is best for us d. suggest what we do to save water at home28the text is mainly about _.a. why paving roads reduces our water. b. how much we depend on water to live.c. why droughts occur more in dry climates. d. how human activity affects our water supply. cat times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. for example, when i was 12, i went to puerto rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. my mom was very nervous about it. she kept telling me how things were different in puerto rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. she helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off. but despite （尽管）her worries, she let me go on my own. as i moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn, even when it might have been difficult for her. when i reached my senior year, i decided to move away for college. once again i found that i differed from my peers(同龄人)：while many of them wanted to stay close to home, i couldnt wait to be out in the world on my own. while my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away，she was supportive and excited for me. one big thing i realized during my senior year, as my mom gave me more freedom, was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. that means a lot. most of my life, and especially when i was little，the main person i tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. i knew she expected nothing but the best from me. sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards（标准）；getting a single b on my report card would make me feel bad because i knew she wanted me to have all as. i know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on whats important, like education, and made me who i am. i am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. most of all i respect her. she is the strongest woman i know and thats why i have turned out so strong and independent.29. when the author decided to go to puerto rico，his mother_. a. wanted to go with him b. worried about his safety c. didnt allow him to do so d. asked his grandmother for advice30. the author decided to move away for college to_. a. be
