You were just out. What, not the back door, you want out the front?” I was very surprised that our beautiful cat wanted out again.Several days later, I realized that almost every day she had been asking to be let out at 1: 00 p.m. and always wanted the front door instead of the back door she normally used to go to the yard. I hadnt been paying much attention, but I realized this had been going on for a while, and I had no idea why. Therefore, the next time it happened, I watched out the front room window to see what Marmalade was doing every day.Marm went down the front stairs and out to the city sidewalk then just sat there. About three minutes later, she flopped(跳) down and rolled over so her belly(肚子) was showing.This is unusual. She never does that unless she wants to be pettedbut there is no one there. Waiton the sidewalk just crossing a block down from our house was a group of about fifteen young adults from the nearby group home for young adults with Down syndrome(唐氏综合症). They were out for a walk.As they approached, I could hear, “Theres the kitty, theres the kitty,” coming from their mouths. When they were close enough to touch Marm, she lay quietly while each person took a turn petting her. This took quite a while, and obviously these teens were very comfortable petting her. When everyone had given Marm a petting, she turned over, stood up and gave herself a shake, then walked back up the sidewalk to the front door to be let in. It had been a breathtaking experience to see. The next day, at the same time, I watched it happen again.After a few more days of this, I wondered how long this had been lasting, so I went out and asked the adults. What I was told was both interesting and humbling. Our wonderful cat had been doing this every weekday for months, and these young adults thought it was the highlight of the walk to be able to have a chance to pet her. How had she come to understand that these young people would enjoy petting her and could trust them? How could she comfort people when they felt sad, and how would she lick away the tears until she had made them feel better?24. Marms owner was puzzled because Marm always _. A. desired to the front yard B. went out from the front door C. rolled over to show her belly D. wanted out from the window25. Marm flopped down and rolled over on the sidewalk to _.

Funny and helpful. C. Mysterious and weird. D. Vulnerable and puzzling.27. What can we learn from Marms story?A. No one can be neglected.B. Cats can understand each other.C. People need give pets more petting.D. Animals can believe and support human.CMicroplastics are everywhere in our environment. Its hardly surprising that the tiny fragments have also been found in humans. A new study shows that Americans are consuming as many as 121,000 particles each year.Measuring 50 to 500 microns in length, microplastics come from a variety of sources, including large plastics that break down into smaller and smaller pieces. Therefore, much remains unknown about the common existence of these materials within the human body, as well as their impact on human health.Hoping to fill in some of these gaps, a research team led by Kieran Cox, a PhD candidate at the University of Victoria, looked at 26 papers assessing the amount of microplastics in commonly consumed food items, among which are seafood, sugars, salts, honey, alcohol and water. The team also evaluated the potential consumption of microplastics through inhalation （吸入）using previously reported data on microplastic concentrations in the air and the Environmental Protection Agencys reported respiration rates. Based on these data, the researchers calculated that our annual consumption of microplastics via food and drink ranges from 39,000 to 52,000 particles. When microplastics taken in through inhalation are taken into account, the range jumps to between 74,000 and 121,000 particles per year.The authors of the study found that people who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles absorb an additional 90,000 microplastics each year, compared to 4,000 among those who only consume tap water. This shows that small decisions, over the course of a year, really matter and have an impact. Cox says. The new study, according to its authors, was the first to investigate the accumulative human exposure to microplastics. But in all likelihood, the research tells only a small part of the entire story. Collectively, the food and drink that the researchers analyzed represent 15 percent of Americans caloric intake. The team could not account for food groups like fruits, vegetables and grains because there simply is not enough data on their microplastic content.For those worried about microplastic consumption, cutting down bottled water is a good place to start. But to the heart of the problem, we have to stop producing and using so much plastic.28What makes it difficult to know microplastics commonly exist in the human body?AThe quality.BThe quantity.CThe shape.DThe size.29How did Kieran Coxs team calculate the potential consumption of microplastics?ABy studying papers.BBy comparing the impacts.CBy analyzing the data.DBy conducting experiments.30Which of the following is true according to the text?ADrinking less plastic bottled water helps to take in fewer microplastics.BThe study is among the earliest to investigate human exposure to microplastics.CCoxs team gained comprehensive information of microplastics taken in by humans.DPeople consume 74,000 to 121,000 particles of microplastics per year from food and drink.31What is the best title for the text?AThe Potential Problems of MicroplasticsBMicroplastics Coming From Various SourcesCMicroplastics Found Within Human Bodies DThe Impact of Microplastics on Human HealthDA drug used to treat severe bleeding could save thousands of lives for mothers giving birth. A global trial of the drug found it reduced the risk of bleeding deaths during childbirth by nearly one-third. The study involved 20,000 women in 21 countries, mainly in Africa and Asia. The trial was carried out by Londons School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The drug is called d tranexamic acid (氨甲环酸). It is low-cost and researchers said it does not cause serious side effects for mothers or babies.The drug is used to treat mothers for severe bleeding during childbirth, also known as postpartum hemorrhage (产后出血).It is the leading cause of mothers death worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.Haleema Shakur is the project director of the trial. She says despite medical advances in many countries, severe bleeding after childbirth remains a big problem in some parts of the world. “Its one of the biggest killers of mothers. In Africa and Asia. about 10 percent of women will end up with severe bleeding. The drug works by stopping blood clots(血凝块) from breaking down after a mother gives birth. The treatment can prevent the need for doctors to perform surgery to find the source of bleeding.Shakur said the best results were reported when the drug was given to women as soon as possible after childbirth, “The earlier you give it- so within the first three hours of giving birththe better the effect is. ”The next step will be to get the drug where it is needed provide training for doctors and nurses on how to use it. During the trial, women were given the drug in a hospital. But researchers are looking for easier ways to administer the drug so it can be more widely used in small clinics and rural areas.32Tranexamic acid is a drug that_ .Ashould be used for every motherBhelps mothers before giving birthCensures most new-born babies healthDcan help mothers giving birth stop bleeding33What is the reachers next plan?ATo know how much the drug is.BTo get permission to use the drug.CTo let more people know the drug.DTo make medical staff know how to use the drug.34What can we learn from the text?AThe more mothers use the drug, the better its effect is.BAfrican and Asian countries made great progress in medicine.CThere is a long way to go before the drug can be used more widely.DPostpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of womens death.35What may be the best title for the text?ACare for the Health of MothersBHow Can We Use Tranexamic Acid Well?CChildbirth Drug Greatly Reduces Bleeding DeathsDWhats the Biggest Killer of Mothers?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。What does it mean to be intelligent?It seems that everyone goes to college now, whether or not they find themselves interested in studying something long term. Even though I know there are different ways to be intelligent, I struggle due to societys influence, which maintains that intelligence is quantifiable (可量化的) and that academic intelligence is one and the only.Where do IQ tests come into play when one considers intelligence? Do they fall closest to priority when considering this unquantifiable concept? Intelligence simply cannot be reduced to an IQ test, which are not effective. While designed to measure “intelligence,” all they measure are biological developments that can change as one grows. 36There are many factors that can indicate an intelligent being, such as academic intelligence, emotional intelligence, and worldly intelligence. For instance, if a student realizes that they havent studied appropriately for an exam, he or she would have the ability to acknowledge that, and then make revisions to his or her study habits accordingly. 37 Emotional intelligence is the intelligence that fosters self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-improvement.38 We cannot function without forming relationships and communication. This proves that being aware of oneself and reflecting in order to further better communication skills is an evidence to intelligence. Where would you be if you were a terrible communicator, unaware, and unwilling to improve, but academically thriving?Emotional intelligence is what surpasses (超越) those who are hard-headed. Those who maintain academic intelligence may still be a bit dull and unaware of themselves. 39Even as a college student, there are certain skills such as teamwork and communication that require awareness and an open mind in order to further their growth.40 Academia is not only pictured and taught unfairly, or even close to what intelligence is if you were to quantify it. If you want to strive for mental growth, and maintain self-awareness through self-reflection, you can apply that to any intelligence category.AAll of life is communicatory.BSpecifically, this is emotional intelligence.CIntelligence is determined by many factors.DStubbornness is a barrier towards communication.E. In fact, there are many with low IQ scores that are intelligent.F. Some connections exist between intelligence and communication.G. So there is academic intelligence, emotional intelligence, and worldly intelligence.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。Three years ago, I participated in Model United Nations （MUN） held by the Education Department, which was a mock （模拟的）UN activity.
