三、阅读理解
In the United States,many teachers keep fish,hamsters (仓鼠),and other animals in their classrooms.Teachers say students learn important lessons from the animals.More than 70 percent of teachers who have classroom pets say the animals help students learn responsibility.Research also shows that classroom pets can reduce stress.
“Pets can comfort kids who are having a bad day,”says Lisa Robbins,who works for a group called Pets in the Classroom.
But others think pets should be expelled from classrooms.In January,the Durango School District in Colorado began following a no pet policy (政策).Now animals can be brought into Durango schools for certain lessons,but they can’t stay.Officials were worried that animals might create problems for kids with allergies (过敏症).They were also concerned about the animals getting proper care.
Here’s what two of our readers think.
Having classroom pets gives students a fun way to learn about animals.In my class last year,we had a class pet named Elliot.Our teacher also used him to teach us about different subjects.For example,in math,we calculated how much it costs to feed Elliot for a year.
Pets also help kids learn how to work as a team.My classmates and I took turns feeding Elliot and cleaning his tank.
If teachers are worried about students with allergies,they could get pets that don’t have fur.
—D’ Lasia Mays,Texas
Classroom pets can take away valuable class time.Some students might have a hard time focusing on the teacher when there are animals in the room.
Plus,having a classroom pet can cause safety problems.You never know how an animal will react to students.Even a cute little hamster might hurt a kid who sticks his or her hand in its cage.
—Patrick McKinney,Ohio

Test taking tips
Passing tests is a huge part of succeeding at school. Clearly, if you want to do well on a test, you need to prepare by learning the material (资料). __1__
Just breathe.
Even the best prepared student sometimes gets nervous before a test. Nervous feelings can cause people to forget facts that they know. __2__ Breathing deeply is helpful for this. So is moving your body slightly, such as by rolling your shoulders around. Try to arrive for a test a few minutes early, so you can relax before it starts.
__3__
When you are handed a test, look over all the questions before you begin. Read them carefully, noticing details. Also pay attention to how many points each question is worth. Divide your time based on the percentage of your grade each question is worth.
First answer questions you know and then go back to the difficult ones. __4__ But try to write an answer for every question on the test, even if you're not sure of the answer. The only exception (例外) is if you will lose points for wrong answers.
__5__ If you're not sure whether you should change an answer, it's best not to. More often than not, your first instinct (本能) will be correct.
Try your best.
Above all, study well and try your best. If you do that, you can be proud of whatever score you get.
A.Pay attention to the time.
B.Read the test through first.
C.So one important test taking tip is to try to relax.
D.But other actions can help make test taking easier.
E.That way you don't spend too long on one question.
F.Check to make sure you have completed the whole test.
G.Try to finish early so you have time to review your answers and correct mistakes.

二、完形填空
1.C 根据下文中的“But no little white cat came”可知,他在叫小猫“过来(Come)”。
2.B 根据上文及本段中的“We'll just have to go without Snowflake”可知,小猫“丢(lost)”了。
3.D 根据上文中的“The Gordos were moving”可知,他们在搬家,所以货车把他们的“东西(things)”拉走了。
4.B 根据语境可知,父亲要给Nina再“新(new)”找一只猫。
5.A 根据下文中的“But I want Snowflake”可知,Nina舍不得小猫,所以听到父亲的话应该是“哭(cry)”了。
6.C 根据下文中的“They moved everything”可知,父亲谈论的是“搬家工人(movers)”。
7.A 根据上文可知,小猫找不到了,所以搬家公司“除了(but)”小猫,其他东西都搬走了。
8.A 根据上文中的“Snowflake was afraid of them”可知,小猫在“躲藏(hide)”。下文中的“hid in the van”也是提示。
9.D 根据下文中搬家公司的货车又开到Nina家可推断,父亲给他们“打电话(called)”了。
10.B
11.D 根据下文中的“Three big men jumped down from the van”可知,货车“停(stopped)”在了“街(street)”边。
12.B 根据下文中的“Nina saw nothing inside”可知,三个彪形大汉“打开(opened)”了车厢门。
13.C 根据下文小猫出现的事实可知,这里是说,“稍等(wait)”,表示与上文意思的转折。
14.A 下文中的“we put the red ribbon on her”是提示。
15.D 根据下文搬家公司工作人员对猫咪所做的事可知,他们碰巧在箱子里“发现(find)”了猫咪。
16.A 下文的“NO JOB TOO BIG”是提示。他们认为这是他们“工作(job)”的一部分,是他们的分内之事。
17.B “NO JOB TOO BIG — NO JOB TOO SMALL”是Nina在货车侧面看到的文字。
18.C 下文的“Snowflake”提示Nina给了“猫(cat)”一个拥抱。
19.C 根据上一段内容及小猫在Nina心中的重要性可知,她认为搬家公司完成了一项很“重要的(BIG)”工作。
20.D 上文Nina在问,这里小猫在“回答(answer)”。
三、阅读理解
1.B 词义猜测题。第一段介绍了许多美国老师饲养教室宠物的原因是“help students learn responsibility和reduce stress,”而由划线词前But一词的转折以及下文介绍“the Durango School District in Colorado began following a no pet policy”可知,有些人认为宠物应该“被赶出”教室。
2.A 细节理解题。由第三段中的“the Durango School District in Colorado began following a no pet policy”和“Now animals can be brought into Durango schools for certain lessons,but they can’t stay”可知,该地所有学校实施无宠物政策,除非有特殊需求,动物不得带入学校。即不允许教室里饲养宠物。
3.C 推理判断题。由D’ Lasia Mays 说教室里有宠物的益处“a fun way to learn about animals...used him to teach us about different subjects”和“help kids learn how to work as a team”可知,她认为教室宠物Elliot对孩子们来说有教育价值。
4.C 推理判断题。 由Patrick McKinney所表达的对于饲养教室宠物的观点“take away valuable class time...a hard time focusing on the teacher”和“cause safety problems”可知,他反对饲养教室宠物。
四、七选五
1.D 该空前的“prepare by learning the material”与下文提到的考试前呼吸放松、注意答题时间分配都是D项中所提make test taking easier的办法。
2.C 由本段小标题Just breathe和该空前的“Nervous feelings”可知,该空后的“Breathing deeply”和“moving your body slightly”以及“arrive for a test a few minutes early”都是对C项中的“try to relax”的举例说明。
3.A 由下文列举根据分值多少合理分配答题时间、做题先易后难、留出时间检查答案等可知,本部分建议留意考试时间。A项中的the time与下文中的“Divide your time”相呼应。
4.E E项中的That way指该空前的“First answer questions you know and then go back to the difficult ones”,这样做可以让你不必在一道题上花费太多的时间。
5.G G项中的“review your answers and correct mistakes”与该空后的“change an answer”相呼应。
