Mrs. Brown lives by herself in a trailer park near Clovis. She said that Clyde, her 7-year-old cat, didnt come home for dinner more than a month ago. The next morning he didnt appear for breakfast either. After Clyde missed an extra-special lunch, she called the police.When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde, she told him that Clyde had beautiful green eyes, had all his teeth but was missing half of his left ear, and was seven years old and completely white. She then told the officer that Clyde was about a foot high.A bell went off. “Is Clyde your child or your pet?” the officer suspiciously asked. “Well, hes my cat, of course,” Mrs. Brown replied. “Lady, youre supposed to report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS,” said the sppeadeotoned policeman. “Well, who can I report this to?” she asked. “You cant. You have to ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers,” replied the officer.Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an 8”x11” piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an empty billboard at the end of her street just off the interstate（州际公路） highway. The billboard had a phone number on it. She called that number, and they told her they could blow up a picture of Clyde (from Mrs. Browns family album) and put it on the billboard for all to see.“But how can people see it when they whiz（快速移动） by on the interstate?” she asked. “Oh, dont worry, maam, they only whiz by between 2 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. The rest of the day, the interstate is so full of commuters that no one moves.” They told her it would cost only $3,000 a month. So she took most of the money out of her savings account and rented the billboard for a month.The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared. Because she has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to see if anyone could help her rent the billboard for just one more month. She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward.（1）How long has the cat been missing?A . More than a monthB . More than two monthsC . More than three monthsD . Its been back.（2）Who did the old lady finally turn to for help?A . A billboard companyB . The policeC . The phone companyD . The interstate telephone line（3）How is the old lady like?A . StupidB . LovingC . SmartD . Decisive(有决断力的)（4）The underlined word was mistyped（打错了）. But we can still guess its most probable meaning:_.A . angryB . surprisedC . happyD . excited（5）Whats the best title for this passage?A . An advertisementB . A missing catC . A pets storyD . Life without cat23. （10分）阅读理解 Are you looking for something fun and would you like to help others in your spare time? Then join us to be a volunteer! Were a non-profit (赢利的) organization.

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?26. （5分）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成下面表格中的有关信息。Which is the best city in Europe? Each city has its own special features. It depends on what a person likes and dislikes.
