These signs were placed in front of the building to catch peoples attention. The supersized cut outs make people curious and encourage them to visit the shelter and maybe even adopt(收养) a pet. Each year, the Salinas shelter takes in around 2,000 dogs and 2,000 cats. The animals are either strays or are dropped off by people who couldnt take care of them. Of the 4,000 animals, some of them are finally adopted into new homes. Some animals are moved to other shelters. And, unluckily, some cannot be saved because they are too sick or are considered dangerous.Animal shelters provide food, medicine, and a safe place for animals to sleep. But they are not ideal homes. The shelters are loud, and the animals stay in small cages. The people who work at shelters do their best to care for the animals, but the animals do not always get the attention or exercise they need.To prevent so many animals from becoming homeless, pet owners should take care of their pets. One of the best ways to care for pets is to spray or neuter them. This surgery prevents cats and dogs from having more babies. And that reduces the number of homeless animals that end up in shelters.（1）How many dogs and cats does the Saunas shelter accept every year?（2）Why are the shelters not the best homes for the animals according to the passage?（3）If you find a homeless cat in the street, will you take it home? Why or Why not?2. （8分） Michelle Obama is the first lady of America. She visited China on March 20th, 2014. When she met the president Xi, she wore a red dress.

Why arent there any women on the dollars or coins of the United States? Sofia asked. There are many women that could be on the dollars or coins because of the important things theyve done. To her surprise on April 20, also her 11th birthday, Sofia got a call from the White House telling her that her wish will come true.Harriet Tubman, an African-American woman, will be on the face of the $20 bill, and the final design will be released(发布) by 2020, said US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew. This means that Tubman will become the first woman in more than a century and the first black person to appear on the countrys currency (货币).Tubman was born a slave (奴隶) in 1822. When she was 27, she made her escape. But Tubman wanted to help other slaves become free, so she later returned to the South 19 times and saved more than 300 people. She fought against slavery all her life.However, while Tubman is going on the new currency, women still bring home far fewer $20 bills than their men colleagues (同事). According to the Institute for Womens Policy Research, women are paid only 79 percent of what men are paid in the US.Women have long been undervalued (低估), said Susan Ades Stone from the US. To put a great woman on the currency can remind us every day of womens value, abilities and contributions. At least its a step in the right direction.根据短文内容，选择最佳选项。（1）What did Sofia write in her letter to Barack Obama? A . She wanted to raise money.B . She hoped to visit the White House.C .

For the same media(媒介), if the wavelength is long, the scattering will be short.

They belong to the pea family, so they are called peanuts. The peanut grows flowers above ground, but its fruit grows underground. It grows in more countries than most other nuts”.The peanut is a native South American plant. Scientists believe that it grew wild in Brazil long ago. They think that for several thousand years the early peoples of South America made it a part of their diet. These peoples were nomads who moved on when a natural food could no longer be found in one area. Along the way they probably let fall some peanuts, which got into the ground and grew. This is believed to be the way the plant reached the place where the Incas（印加人）lived. The Incas, from about 1100 to 1532, thought highly of peanuts. The peanuts were eaten in several forms and used as sacrificial offerings（祭品）to the Incan Sun God. Later in the 16th century, European soldiers had brought peanuts to other parts of the world, including North America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Pacific Islands.Although peanuts were found native in South America, they are now grown in almost every country that has warm weather. India produces the most peanuts. Chinas production is next, followed by the United States.The peanut is special in more ways than one. It can be eaten raw, boiled, roasted, or fried. Hundreds of widely different products have been made from it. Carver, an American scientist, set himself the task of discovering new uses for eating and for many other products.Peanuts are very highly nutritious and are also high in protein （蛋白质）. Americans use about seven-tenths of their protein in the form of meat. In India, where the poor cant pay for meat or milk, peanut meal and peanut milk have been produced. These have been a great help to the poor.New products are continually being made from peanuts, among them peanut cheese and a powder that becomes peanut butter when water is added. The fact is that peanuts are so healthy that they were used by astronauts. The unusual nut that isnt a nut is one of natures most amazing gifts.（1）Although we like eating peanuts, many of us dont know peanuts belong to _ family.A . the peaB . the nutC . both the pea and the nutD . neither the pea nor the nut（2）Which paragraph（段落）mainly talks about the history of the peanut?A .

They are normally young people who travel cheaply with just one rucksack(背包) and comfortable walking boots.

Others may go snowboarding in the RockyMountains in the USA.Have you ever heard of an ecotourism (生态旅游)?

An image I will never forget.Xavier from Portugal There were two dolphins below us swimming downwards. One stopped and looked back at me as if to say What are those strange beings? Fantastic!Interviewer Did you feel that your holiday helped local people and areas to keep their beautiful environment?Jane from New Zealand The hotel and the whale and dolphin watching comparues employ(雇佣) local people.
