One day he decided to get the sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arriveda wellknown sage who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many peoples problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones. He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man.Everybody was surprised. The hanging mango lover started to shout, “What are you doing? “Are you crazy？ Do you want me to break my neck？” The sage was silent. Then he took another stone and threw it at the man. The man was very angry, “If I could just come down, I would show you！”Thats what everybody wantedthat he came down. But how? Now everybody was tense, as to what would happen next! Some wanted to punish the sage, but they didnt. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was enraged and developed a great determination to come down and take revengeHe then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed.However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really helped him because he induced him to try his best and save himself.“I should be thankful and not angry.”24What happened after he had picked a few sweet reddish mangoes? AHe remained hanging helplessly on the tree. BHe slipped and fell to the ground suddenly. CHe was climbing down quickly but carefully. DHe shouted loudly for help but no one helped.25How did the man feel when the sage hit him with a stone? AHe was nervous. BHe kept silent. CHe was angry. DHe felt surprised.26What do you think motivated the man to climb down? ACourage. BAssistance. CCarefulness. DRevenge.27From the story we know that the sweetest mango must be the one _. Aon the tree for the longest time Bhidden in the middle of a tree Con the very top of a tree Dexposed to sunlight less oftenC Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get alongsmoothly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. However, it wasnt all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission. In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk Dog, and dogs can learn how to talk Cat. Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other. The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond petsto people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.28. Some cats and dogs may fight when _. A. they are cold to each other B. they look away from each other C. they misunderstand each others signals D. they are introduced at an early age29. What is found surprising about cats and dogs? A. They eat and sleep together. B. They observe each others behaviors. C. They learn to speak each others language. D. They know something from each others voices.30. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _. A. have common interests B. are less different than was thought C. have a common body language D. are less intelligent than was expected31. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs? A. We should learn to live in harmony. B. We should know more about animals. C. We should live in peace with animals. D. We should learn more body languages.DScientists have produced new evidence suggesting eating lots of red and processed meat damages health. They found big meat eaters had a raised risk of death from all causes over a 10-year period. In contrast, a higher intake of white meat was associated with a slightly reduced risk of death over the same period.The US study, based on more than 500,000 people, found those whose diet contained the highest proportion (比例) of red or processed meat had a higher overall risk of death, and specifically a higher risk of cancer and heart disease than those who ate the least.People eating the most meat were eating about 160g of red or processed meat per day approximately a 6oz steak. Those who ate the least were only getting about 25g per day approximately a small piece of bacon. Just the opposite, those who ate the highest proportion of white meat had a lower risk of overall death, and a lower risk of fatal cancer or heart disease than those who ate the lowest proportion.Meat is a major source of saturated (饱和的) fat, which has been associated with breast and colorectal cancer. In addition, lower meat intake has been linked to a reduction in risk factors for heart disease, including lower blood pressure and cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. The latest study adds to a growing body of research linking high red and processed meat consumption to an increased risk of ill health. Ed Yong, of the charity Cancer Research UK, said, “Evidence from large studies tells us that cutting down on processed food, such as bacon or burgers, can reduce the risk of dying from cancer and other diseases.”Dr Barry Popkin of the University of North Carolina stressed there were health benefits from eating some red meat. But he added: “The need is for a major reduction in total meat intake, an even larger reduction in processed meat and other highly processed and salted animal source food products and a reduction in total saturated fat.” Dr Mark Wahlqvist, a nutrition expert from Australia, said eating small amounts of red meataround 30g a dayprovided a good source of key nutrients. He said, “Fresh, lean red meat of these amounts is likely to be of more benefit than harm.” 32. According to the passage, we know _. A. big meat eaters eat a 6oz steak per day B. big meat eaters have heart disease ten years earlier C. people eating more meat will suffer from a heart attack D. people eating more red meat have a higher risk of death33. Processed meat is a kind of _. A. red meatB. white meat C. vegetable with a similar taste of meatD. meat prepared by producers34. According to the passage, how should we eat red meat in a healthy way? A. We should eat red meat as we like. B. We should eat proper amount of red meat per day. C. We should reduce the amount of fresh, red lean meat. D. We should completely cut out red meat from our diet.35. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Too much red meat consumption contributes to ill health. B. A well-balanced diet accounts for a healthy life. C. A higher intake of white meat brings benefits. D. Red meat contains saturated fat.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips for cooking on a tight schedule From my experience, there are three main reasons why people dont cook more often: ability, money, and time. _36_ Money is a topic Ill save for another day.
