But what about cats? Sometimes cats can make equally wonderful friends. The following is a comparison of the two animals. A Friend Helps You When Youre SickDogsWhen Catherine lay down on the sofa, Pepe stared(盯) into her eyes and kept sniffing(嗅). After being pushed away, he suddenly jumped onto her chest. Thats when Catherine felt a pain that made her visit a doctor, and a fast-growing cancer was found. Months later, however, Pepe started staring and sniffing again. It seemed strange, but sure enough, Catherines cancer had spread. CatsWhen Tee sits and stares directly into her face, Alana immediately finds a chair. Thats because Tee is warning her that she is about to faint(昏倒), which can happen as often as three times a day. But Alana wont get hurt if she sits down. Not only does Tee warn Alana, but also her husband. Then the cat stays with Alana until she recovers.A Friend Saves Your LifeDogsRyan fell into the water by accident. The river was full of melted snow, and Ryan was very cold and his body temperature was dropping dangerously low. Luckily, he was found by Chelsea, who was playing with her dog, Zion. “Zion knew the boy was in trouble,” says Chelsea. “Ryan grabbed onto the dogs collar, and Zion just turned around and came straight back to the shore.”Cats“I was napping in my bedroom, and then I was woken by Joey screaming and running back and forth,” says Bernice. Then she found herself surrounded by smoke. With Joey alongside her, she managed to get out of the door. By then, flames(火焰) were shooting up from the basement. “I found him in a mailbox when he was young and now I feel very fortune. Without him, Id have probably died in the smoke.”23.

These childrens parents leave them with their grandparents or other family members in order to make money in cities. Sichuan Province and Henan Province have the highest percentage of rural left-behind children. Together with Anhui Province, Guangdong Province and Hunan Province, these five provinces have 43.64% of the countrys rural left-behind children, the report says. The report finds that left-behind children are mainly in the central and western provinces. But the developed eastern areas also face similar problems, the report says. Guangdong Province has the most left-behind children, with 4.34 million, followed by Zhejiang Province, Jiangsu Province, Shanghai and Beijing. “What Im worried about most is the schooling of my child, as I have no time to help her with her homework.” Said An Baiyou, a truck driver from Shangdong Province, who has been leaving his 10-year-old daughter with his parents while driving trucks in other provinces. “However, to make money or to take care of the child, you can only choose one side.”Wang Zhenyao, the president of Beijing Normal University Institue of Public Welfare, says that if the left-behind children problem cant be solved, it will affect the nations future. Compared with those who live with their parents, left-behind children need more care and protection. The country should think about ways to attract the rural workers in cities to return and work in their hometown to improve the development of these places.” In addition, it is important to set up laws to protect the basic rights of young people, especially those with illnesses or only one parent.These children are the future of the nation. People should offer them their love, care and protection. 26. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage? A. Wang Zhenyao has a 10-year-old daughter. B.

The best title of the passage is_. A. Serious facts about rural childrenB. A choice of children or money C. More care to rural left-behind childrenD. A report on parents worry about rural left-behind childrenCIs getting a black belt(腰带) on your lifes to-do list? Then this elderly woman in San Francisco just might be your hero.Just two years before her 100th birthday, Sensei Keiko Fukuda has become the first woman to achieve a tenth-degree black belt - the highest rank in Judo (柔道). Fukuda is now one of only four living people who have earned the tenth-degree black belt. Throughout history, only 16 people have ever achieved this honor.Fukuda began practicing Judo in 1935 and is the only surviving student of its founder, Kano Jiguro.At her teachers requirement, she learned English to help spread Judo internationally.During a time when getting married, building a family and becoming a housewife were the norms(行为标准)，Fukuda broke from tradition, continuing Judo instead of getting married.“All I did was Judo . This was my marriage,” Fukuda replied tearfully to the San Francisco Chronicle. “This is when my destiny (命运) was set. I just imagined how long the road would be.”She described the Jiguros school as “old-fashioned and sexist(性别歧视的) about belts and ranks”. In fact, an edict(法令) that prevented women from achieving any higher than a fifth-degree black belt kept Fukuda at that level for 30 years. She finally got the sixth degree in 1972 when a womens division（分部）was created.Fukuda thinks Judo and her life to be “gentle, kind and beautiful, yet firm and strong, both mentally and physically”. Fukuda says this kind of beauty is not external(外在的). She explained. “I believe this inner beauty is true beauty All my life this has been my dream.”Her dream was turned into reality, and the 98-year-old Sensei Keiko Fukuda continues to teach Judo three times a week at a womens Judo training center.29. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the article?A. She is the first woman to achieve the highest rank in Judo.B. It took her 30 years to get a tenth-degree black belt. C. Her teacher wanted her to help spread Judo to other parts of the world.D. Only one woman and fifteen men have ever earned the tenth-degree black belt in the history. 30. Why did Fukuda pursue(追求) Judo all her life?A. To look for inner beauty.B. To help Japan become stronger.C. To spread Judo around the world.D. To fight against tradition.31. Which of the following best describes Fukuda according to the article?A. TraditionalB. Popular C. Determined (坚定的) D. Curious DOne windy spring day, I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in control. Instead of blowing away with the wind, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (控制的) string and the cumbersome (笨重的) tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose(松散的). “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom(自由) simply put it in the control of an unkind wind. It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障碍物). How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to. We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground. Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong force that helps us achieve. 32. Why does the writer write the first paragraph? A. Because it was the first time that he had seen young people flying kites. B. Because he wants to share his feelings in nature with the readers. C. Because he wants to tell the readers how to make beautiful kites. D. Because he wants to use readers similar life experience to understand the article better. 33. By writing the second and third paragraphs, the writer seems to let the readers know_. A. anyone who wants no restraints is sure to be a sad end B. what a pity it is that one kite flew down to the ground C. man with freedom cant be like that kite which fell down D. the unkind wind is the cause of the fallen kites failure 34.What does the underlined word “restriction” in the second paragraph probably mean? A. 束缚B. 放纵C. 摇摆D. 牵引35. In the writers opinion, _. A. without restrictions and rules we can make endless progress B. kites are good examples to those who want to get freedom C. restrictions are necessary for us human beings D. we dont need any freedom at all 第卷（非选择题共42分）四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）阅读下面短文，在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案（每格限填一词）。Why you should think big If you have something valuable in mind, a service to offer, or an idea to develop, then you present it to everyone to increase its scope(范围). Why not make full use of it?The fact is, when you have a strong enough vision(远见), you may have the courage. And then you simply have to pursue it, however crazy it might seem to others.Remember that everything starts smallRome wasnt built in a day. Everything starts small. Scientists say that everything in the universe came from a smaller unit than you can possibly imagine. So it doesnt matter where you are at present, because from small beginnings come great things.Think bigger by enlisting(争取) othersTo think big, you need to see yourself as a small part of a greater whole. Enlist people who are better than you. If youre not the most organized person, dont just be unhappy about it; find someone who is better.Big thinkers know their personal limitations(局限性). Gather people around you who can do what you cant do to make sure your dream grows.Think big by focusing on future regrets(遗憾)There is an old saying, “We regret not the things we did do, but the things we didnt.” Youll never know how far it could go unless you see how far you can take something.If you have big plans, just close your eyes. And strongly imagine how regretful you will be if you dont try or attempt properly.Feel that it is your human duty to think bigWhen something is probably a real service to mankind, then it is a human duty to think and act big. Even if you dont succeed at last, it
