【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 !

A new study confirms what most people already know: American women are still far behind American men in taking top leadership jobs in business and politics.

The Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C. produced the study. Pew researchers found that most Americans believe women have the right qualities to be leaders. But they say women may still not be hired into leadership positions.

“On the one hand, the public thinks that women are just as qualified as men to be in top leadership positions, in business and in government, on the other hand the public feels it is easier for men to get those jobs, and the public is also skeptical that things are going to change in the future, particularly on the business front.”

Kim Parker directs social trends at the Pew Research Center. She says the new study found that Americans think men and women have the same intelligence and ability to create new things. But Americans think women and men have some different abilities.

For instance, they believe women are especially good at finding compromises. In other words, women can find ways for people to agree, or at least accept solutions. The study also found Americans see women as more compassionate (有同情心的) and organized leaders than men.

Americans also believe women are better leaders for social issues, such as education and health care. But Americans see men as better leaders on national defense and security.

【1】From the first paragraph we can know that ______.

A. American women are much better than men in business and politics.

B. American men are still ahead of American women as leaders in business and politics.

C. American women are still ahead of American men as top leaders in business and politics.

D. American women are equal to American men in taking top leadership jobs in business and politics..

【2】According to the new study, Americans think men and women are equal in ______.

A. some different abilities.

B. politics and government.

C. intelligence and ability to create new things.

D. top leadership positions and education.

【3】What can we know from the last two paragraphs?

A. Women are especially good at finding compromises.

B. Americans see men as more compassionate and organized leaders than women.

C. women are better leaders for social issues, such as national defense and health care.

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?

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.

【题目】Accurately forecasting the weather is a very hard thing to do. There are many parts of weather dynamics — the study of how water and air in motion cause weather patterns — to consider. Even the best forecast can be changed by a small weather disturbance halfway around the world. Today’s forecast use complex computer models, weather instruments, and detailed analyses of daily observations to predict the weather. However, it hasn’t always been that way. People, like your grandparents, use folklore and proverbs to help forecast the weather. They remembered what conditions caused changes and observed the factors associated with weather: atmospheric and cloud conditions, temperature, winds, and reactions of plants and animals. Many people believe that this way of forecasting weather is accurate more often than modem forecasting.

Grandma’s aching joints might indicate the arrival of a low-pressure system. She might also observe the geese flying lower than usual, confirming the low-pressure system. Finally, she might feel dampness on her skin, a sign of high humidity (湿度). Based on these three observations, grandma might warn that a storm is brewing.

Joints and nerves can indicate dropping air pressure, dissolved gases in the blood form bubbles under low air pressure. This causes pain in joints and nerve endings. Geese and other birds respond to changes in air pressure by adjusting how high they fly. In the fair, calm weather of a high-pressure system, the birds fly higher than in the stormy weather associated with a low-pressure system.

Nature provides other clues to changing weather. A decrease in air pressure causes deer and elk to come down from the mountains to look for shelter. Some animals feed more than usual. The higher humidity before a storm causes some insects to leave the trees and gather near the ground. Some flowers close so rain doesn’t get inside them. In winter, rhododendron plants curl up to protect themselves as the temperature drops.

Several of the sayings apply in particular areas of the world. Here are some of them.

■Early thunder, early spring.

■Rainbow in the morning gives you fair warning.

■When teeth and bones ache, expect the clouds to fill the lake.

■When high clouds and low clouds do not match together, prepare for a blow and a change in the weather.

【1】It is true that ___________.

A. using folklore and proverbs to forecast weather is more accurate than modem forecasting

B. complex computer models and weather instruments can always forecast weather accurately

C. modern forecasting cannot always guarantee accurate weather forecasting for some reason

D. modem forecasting along with other observations is sure to give accurate weather forecast

【2】In a low-pressure system, you may notice the following EXCEPT that ___________.

A. some birds will be seen flying near the surface of the earth

B. some flowers close so rain doesn’t get inside

C. some animals come down from mountains

D. some insects disappear from ground

【3】It is a fact that the behavior of plants and animals is _________.

A. likely to reflect long-term weather forecasting

B. likely to reflect short-term weather forecasting

C. unlikely to reflect any kind of weather forecasting

D. more likely to reflect both short-term and long term weather forecasting

【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. People can forecast weather with no modern equipment.

B. How to use proverbs to forecast weather forecasting.

C. Hard as it is, weather forecasting has a scientific base.

D. The importance of weather forecasting.

Having a bit of a temper tantrum(发脾气), whether at home or in the classroom, is as harmful as you can get and only serves to discourage your teenagers.

What they really need at this stage in their lives are words that build them up according to their needs that it may benefit them-that is, words of encouragement, affirmation(肯定) and a good deal of praise. The benefits to them and us as parents and teachers are quite amazing-harmony, peace and love.

When I left my last school where I had been a casual(代课老师) for eight years, I received "thank you" notes from the students. I think these notes illustrate what teenagers want and need from their parents and teachers.

Some of the notes mention kindness, patience, thoughtfulness, encouragement and fun. Teenagers value these qualities and what I found was that the more I relaxed and enjoyed their company, the less I had to discipline them.

Below I've included a few excerpts from the notes to let the kids speak for themselves. These are teenagers speaking from the heart and show what, according to teenagers, they need and value.

Each note began, "Thank you for..."

making each student in the school happy

putting up with us every time you get us (i.e. having patience)

Always giving every student a chance and treating everyone like an adult giving lots

of merits and making every lesson fun and enjoyable

Being very kind & for giving me lots of (merit) stickers

You make working be fun

Being a patient and thoughtful teacher

Patience is needed as well as kindness, thoughtfulness, a sense of humor and fun and the ability to listen more than talk.

When we praise and value our teenagers, the results are nothing short of miraculous.

【1】What’s the result of having a temper tantrum________?

A. hurting yourself and your teenagers

B. being harmful to yourself only

C. being not good for teenagers

D. having no negative influence

【2】Which is NOT needed by teenagers________?

A. words of encouragement

B. words of affirmation

C. words of praise

D. words of criticism

【3】What did the author receive when he left his last school________?

B. students’ criticism

C. praise from the school

D. parents’ encouragement

【4】Why does the author mention the “Thank you” notes________?

A. Because he wants to show himself off

B. Because he wants to tell parents and other teachers what teenagers really need

C. Because he wants to show that his students are all kind and polite

D. Because he doesn’t want to leave that school

【5】From the passage, we can learn that the author is __________.

A. impatient, careful and humour
