【题目】If your family is thinking of getting a pet, consider adopting from an animal shelter. Animal shelters are full of dogs, cats, rabbits, and more animals, all in need of loving homes. Some may come with emotional or behavioral issues, but most are happy, healthy, and ready for a loving home. Here are some tips for you to find great animals.

Make some decision.

Think about what you want in a pet and remember that all pets have different personalities. Cats tend to be more independent and need less affection, but kittens need lots of attention. Cats don’t need to be walked, but you need to clip their nails and play with them. Dogs need to be walked at the very least twice a day. However, they are usually great companions and love to spend time with their family.

Visit the shelter.

Set aside at least a few hours to visit shelters in your area—remember that you may need to visit more than one visit. Try to bring along everyone who will be living with a new pet. Ask the shelter staff lots of questions. And never adopt an animal because you feel sorry for it—be patient so you find a pet who is truly a good match for your family.

Get everything ready.

Buy all necessary supplies and food well before the animal comes home. Make sure that the entire household is in agreement about rules and responsibilities—will the dog be allowed on the couch? Who will clean the litter box? Put it in writing before the pet arrives.

Bring your new friend home!

You’ll probably be excited when your new pet arrives, but be sure to give them space and time to get adjusted to a new home and a new family. The pet may act differently once they leave the shelter. Interact（交流）with your pet a lot and get them used to a routine, and soon you’ll be one big happy family !

【1】Which of the following is the first important factor should be considered when adopting a pet?

A. Think twice about the adoption.

B. Get detailed information about the pets.

C. Make full preparations for the coming pet.

D. Try to make the pet your family member.

【2】According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Both cats and dogs need walking and attention.

B. Both cats and dogs are human’s good partners.

C. All the animals in the shelter are in good condition.

D. It’s necessary to talk a lot with your new pets every day.

【3】Before a new pet comes home, we’d better ______.

A. show concern for the animals

B. set down an agreement on paper

C. bring all the members to visit the shelter

D. get it adjusted to a new environment immediately

【4】The article is most likely intended for ______.

A. animal shelters B. shelter staff

C. pet lovers D. pet protectors

【题目】There once was a master who went to India. In those times, we didn't have the communications or airplanes or many kinds of transportation that we do now. So the master went to India on foot. He had never been to India before; perhaps he came from Persia. And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive because they can't grow much due to the water situation. So he saw one basket, a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop, not expensive at all.

So he went up and asked, "How much per kilo?" And the shopkeeper said, "Two rupees（卢比）." Two rupees in India is nothing; it's like dirt. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: Oh, my God! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became red. As he coughed and choked and gasped for breath, he jumped up and down, saying, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, "You're crazy, man. Those are chilies（辣椒）! You can't eat so many; they're not good for you! People use them as a condiment（作料）, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can't just eat them by the handful like that; they're not fruit!" So the stupid master said, "No, I can't stop! I paid money for them, and now I'll eat them. It's my money!"

And you think that master was stupid, right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things like that. We invest money, time or effort in a relationship, business or job. And even though it's been a long time, bitter experience tells us it won't work, and we know there's no more hope that things will change in the future — this we definitely know by intuition（直觉） — we still continue just because we've invested money, time, effort and love into it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldn't stop because he didn't want to waste the money he'd paid.

【1】Why did the master buy a lot of chilies?

A．He loved the taste of chilies very much.

B．He spent a lot of money on chilies.

C．The price of chilies is very low.

D．The quality of Indian chilies is very good.

【2】What can we infer about the master according to the passage?

A．He is very wise in spending his money.

B．He came from Persia with someone else.

C．He walked to India for the first time.

D．He is a very rich and honest man.

【3】What is the purpose of the passage?

A．To share us a funny story about a silly master.

B．To tell us when to give up in life.

C．To offer some information about India.

D．To remind us how to spend money wisely.

Penguins can taste only sour and salty food, scientists have discovered. A genetic study suggests the flightless birds lost three of the five basic tastes long ago in evolution.

Taste is critical for survival in most animals, but may not matter in the penguin, which swallows fish whole, say researchers in China and the US.

Many other birds are unable to taste sweet things, but they do have receptors (感受器) for detecting bitter and umami (or meaty) flavours. The discovery was made when researchers decoding penguin genomes found some of the taste genes were missing. A closer look at the DNA of penguins revealed that all species lack functioning genes for the receptors of sweet, umami, and bitter tastes.

“Based on genetic data, penguins are believed to have sour and salty tastes, but have lost sweet, umami, and bitter tastes,” lead researcher Prof Jianzhi Zhang, of the University of Michigan, US, and Wuhan University, China, told the reporter.

The umami taste gives food the strong, savoury (咸味的) flavour associated with meat. Lacking this sense is surprising for a carnivorous (食肉的) animal, but does not matter that much in the penguin, which swallows fish without chewing. “Their behaviour of swallowing food whole, and their tongue structure and function, suggest that penguins need no taste perception,” said Prof Zhang. “Although it is unclear whether these traits (特点) are a cause or a consequence of their major taste loss.” The findings, published in Current Biology journal, were a puzzle, he added.

One clue comes from the bird’s evolution on the frozen ice sheets of Antarctica. Sending signals from sweet, umami, and bitter (but not sour or salty) taste receptors to the brain does not work at very low temperatures. This may have led to the penguin gradually losing its sense of taste, say the researchers.

Intriguingly(有趣的是), the sweet taste is missing in almost all birds. The hummingbird, which feeds on sweet nectar, is an exception.

【1】What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Penguins lost ability to taste fish

B. The life of penguins

C. The findings of researchers in China and USA

D. Penguins living on Antarctica

【2】Which of the following animals can taste sweet flavour according to the passage?

A. The penguin. B. The hummingbird.

C. The polar bear. D. The fish.

【3】What was the discovery made by the researchers when decoding penguin genomes?

A. Some of the taste genes were missing.

B. Penguins are believed to have sweet and salty tastes.

C. The bird’s evolution on the frozen ice sheets of Antarctica.

D. Taste is critical for survival in most animals.

【4】Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?

A. Penguins swallow fish without chewing.

B. The findings were published in Current Biology journal.

C. Sending signals from sweet, umami, and bitter taste receptors to the brain does not work at very low temperatures.

D. Prof Jianzhi Zhang was the lead researcher of a university in UK, and Wuhan University, China.
