She brought it to an animal clinic (诊所) near her house.
“Can you take care of this kitten ” she asked the doctor.
“Sure, we can,” he said.

A young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousers. When he got home, he went upstairs to his bedroom and put them on. He found that they were about two inches (英寸) too long.
He went downstairs to the kitchen. His mother and two sisters were washing up the tea things there. “The new trousers are too long,” he said. “They need shortening by about two inches. Could one of you do it for me, please ” His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything.
But as soon as his mother had finished washing up, she went quietly upstairs to her son’s bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches. She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters.
Later on, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother’s trousers. She was a kind-hearted girl, so she went quietly upstairs without saying anything to anyone, and shortened the trousers by two inches.
The younger sister went to the cinema, but when she came home, she, too, remembered her brother’s trousers. So she ran upstairs and did as her mother and sister had done.
You can imagine the look on the young man’s face when he put the trousers on the next morning.

A. a bit too long B. very good C. not too long D. too short

I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”(风格) of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office ”
Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office ” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it ” They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
12. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ________.
A. describe the place carefully B. show him a map of the place
C. tell him the names of the streets D. refer to recognizable buildings and places
13 What is the place where people measure (测量) distance in time
A. New York. B. Los Angeles. C. Kansas. D. Iowa.
14. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________.
A. in order to save time B. Los Angeles.
C. so as to be polite D. for fun
15. What can we infer from the text
A. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
B. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
C. People have similar understandings of politeness.
D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇对话填空。对话主要讲述了A向B询问有关美式英语和英式英语的差异。
【16题详解】
根据前文“May I ask you some questions about American English and British English ”可知，A在此询问B能问一些关于美式英语和英式英语的问题，因为问句形式属于一般疑问句，所以回答的答案通常是Yes或No来回答表示许可或者否定。根据后文B举例说了美式英语和英式英语的不同，所以此处表示同意。选项B. “Sure, go ahead.(可以，问吧)”符合题意，故选B。
【17题详解】
根据下文“No, just a few. For example, Americans use “color”, but British people use “colour””可知，此处B向A举例说了美式英语和英式英语的不同，所以空白处应该是A说“这两个有很多的区别吗？”，选项D.“Are there many differences (有很多区别吗？)”符合题意，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Both. American spellings are used more and more in Canada now”可知，B讲述自己在加拿大美式拼写和英式拼写都会使用，所以前文应是A问B平时会使用美式拼写还是会用英式拼写，选项E.“Do you use American spellings or British spellings (你用美国拼法还是英国拼法？)”符合题意，故选E。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Yes, people from different areas speak differently, just as you do in China.”可知，B在此肯定了A说的内容，所以这里是A了解完美式英语和英式英语的区别后，随后又附带的提到加拿大人的说英语的不同。选项C.“By the way(顺便说一句) ”符合题意，故选C。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Yes. They can communicate with each other easily.”可知，B肯定的说交流是很容易的。所以前文应该是A问可以不同地方的人可以彼此理解吗？选项F.“Can they understand each other (他们能相互理解吗？)”符合题意，故选F。

When I was in junior high school, my dad always told me exercise and eat healthy food. I was too busy for my studies, and I didn’t have time to exercise. I eat a lot of junk food and didn’t treat my body well, so I put on a weight. Six months ago, I started senior high school, and I decided to made a change. First, I joined a gym. Then I asked my trainer to make a diet and exercise plan for him. I followed the plan, and started eating better or exercising more. Today, I’m five kilos light than before, and I’m becoming healthily. Too bad I didn’t listen to my dad’s advices in junior high school. He was right!
【答案】1. exercise前加to 2. for→with 3. eat→ate
4. 删除a 5.made→make 6.him →me
7.or→and 8.light→lighter
9.healthily→healthy 10.advices→advice
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己减肥的经历。
【详解】1.考查固定短语。句意：当我还在初级中学的时候，我爸爸总是告诉我要锻炼身体，吃健康的食物。固定短语：tell sb. to do sth.“告诉某人做某事”，所以此处应该在exercise之前加上不定式to。故exercise前加to。
2.考查固定短语。句意：我太忙于时间学习，没时间锻炼。固定短语：be busy with sth.“忙于做某事”，所以此处要把for改为with。故for改为with。
3.考查时态。句意：我吃了很多垃圾食品，而且对我的身体不好，所以我长胖了。根据句中 didn’t treat my body well可知，and前的时态应为一般过去时，所以eat改为ate。故eat改为ate。
4.考查冠词。句意同上。固定短语：put on weight“发福”，所以删掉weight前冠词。故删除a。
5.考查固定结构。句意：六个月前，我上了高中，我决定做出改变。固定短语：decide to do sth.“决定做某事”，不定式在此作宾语，to后要用动词原形。结合句中提示，所以made要改为make。故made改为make。
6.考查人称代词。句意：然后我让我的教练给我制定一个饮食和锻炼计划。结合前文可知，我上高中后我决定改变自己，所以此处指我让教练给我制定了一个计划。所以人称代词用宾格me。故him改为me。
7.考查连词。句意：我按照计划，开始吃得更好，锻炼得更多。根据前文可知，我让教练给我制定了计划，所以此处指我按照计划去做。句中 eating better与 exercising more为并列关系，用and。故or改为and。
8.考查比较级。句意：现在，我比之前轻了5公斤，我正变得健康起来。结合句中than可知，than前要用比较级。故light改为lighter。
9.考查形容词。句意同上。become为系动词，所以其后要用形容词。故healthily改为healthy。
10.考查不可数名词。句意：真可惜，初中时我没有听我爸爸给我的建议。advice“建议”为不可数名词，所以advice改为advice。
