A
While living and working in Karlstad University in Sweden, I was entrusted the challenging assignment of cat sitting（照看猫） three 10-year olds for two weeks. At first, I was a bit perturbed. From all that I had heard about cats being selfish creatures. I wondered if I would ever be able to deliver the goods.
I had been asked to stay at the cat-owners’ place for the fortnight. The first day, all three, Mercedes, Mio and Casper, seemed to be suspicious of me. I fed them, disposed of their litter and got to work. Soon, however, they began to look forward to my returning, and would mew happiness hearing the key turn in the door-lock.
As our familiarity grew, I began to playfully bid goodnight to the cats, sometimes adding aloud in Swedish that I had to wake up at 7:00 a.m. I forgot to set the alarm on most nights, but faced no problems, because at exactly 7:00 a.m.—no exaggerations here—I would hear the sounds of gentle mewing and scratching outside my bedroom door.
Then, there was one evening, when I felt a bit under the weather. Sitting on the sofa, mentally worn out and physically exhausted, I stared blankly into space, when a gentle tapping landed on my cheek. I found Casper standing on the sofa’s armrest peering (凝视) into my eyes. He seemed to be asking me to cheer up, switch off for the evening and look forward to a better tomorrow.
On the evenings of the last few days, all three cats began to rush over and sit close to me on the sofa and snooze (打盹) against my feet or on my lap. They knew perhaps that our time together was nearing its end and that they would not see me again. They all came over to the door, when I left the next morning with my things packed. They just stood there and mewed for a while, and as I walked around the street bend, they hopped on to the window watching me go.
21. What does the underlined word “perturbed” mean in the first paragraph
A. Excited. B. Unwilling. C. Confident. D. Worried.
22. How did the author get familiar with the cats
A. By taking care of them. B. By taking them out.
C. By cheering them up. D. By talking to them.
23. How did the author interpret Casper’s tapping
A. The cat was asking to go out. B. The cat was playing with him.
C. The cat was trying to comfort him. D. The cat was reminding him of bedtime.
24. Which of the following best describes the relationship between the author and the cats
A. Temporary. B. Complex. C. Casual. D. Close.
B
Efforts to preserve the Amazon rain forest are growing ever more urgent as the ecosystem’s destruction accelerates. A recent study shows that a new program combining on-the-ground monitoring with satellite data and smartphone technology could help put the brakes on Amazon deforestation (毁林)—and potentially that of forests elsewhere.
The scientists cooperated with 76 local communities, 36 of which participated in using satellite-based “early deforestation alerts”, an early-alert system on a smartphone app, to watch over the forest and to inspect forests and document damage. Over the next two years the participants were paid to work as forest monitors and received monthly alerts (警报) via the app when satellite data indicated local forest losses. Monitors investigated alerts and inspected for deforestation in the areas. They reported confirmed losses back to their communities, which decided whether to deal with the affairs on their own or inform state authorities.
The researchers analyzed the same forest-loss satellite data from the given time period in all 76 communities. They found the program reduced forest loss by 8.4 hectares (公顷) in the first year—a 52 percent reduction compared with the average loss in the control communities, says Tara Slough, an economist at New York University. “This reduction in deforestation was concentrated in communities facing the largest threat of forest loss”, she adds.
Results for the program were less striking in its second year, when forest loss was reduced by only 3.3 hectares compared with that in control communities. The researchers explain that a Peruvian government campaign against coca planting that year may have discouraged deforestation in both experimental and control communities, narrowing differences between the two groups in the program.
Experts say this approach to dealing with Amazonian deforestation looks promising. Local groups may continue the work they started in the program. “We want to apply this in other communities. In doing so, we are making a contribution to the world,” wrote Francisco, a community member involved in the research.
25. What can we learn about the new program
A. It applies to all the forests. B. It adopts multiple technologies.
C. It involves no human participation. D. It solves the problem beforehand.
26. How did the researchers conduct the study
A. By analyzing the data. B. By surveying the monitors.
C. By observing the area. D. By investigating the damage.
27. What do the researchers think of the effect of the program
A. Stable. B. Positive. C. Unconvincing. D. Discouraging.
28. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Amazon Protecting the Rainforest B. Experts Testing Early-alert System
C. Communities Dealing With Deforestation D. Smartphone Watching Over the Forest
C
Morgan’s Wonderland, located in San Antonio, Texas, is a theme park mainly intended for mentally or physically disabled children. The park was built by Gordon Hartman, a former real estate (房地产) developer. The creation of the park was inspired by his daughter, Morgan, who suffers from severe cognitive（认知） delay and physical challenges.
The world’s first ultra-accessible family fun park, Morgan’s Wonderland opened in the spring of 2010. Admission for guests with special needs is free, and fees for the general public are set at a much discounted price so that people of all ages and abilities can come together and play in a fun and safe environment.
Completely wheelchair-accessible, the park features 25 acres of attractions including rides, playgrounds, a catch-and-release fishing lake, and picnic areas throughout the park. The rides are custom-designed to accommodate wheelchair riders so that every family member can enjoy the fun. The adapted rides include the Off-Road Adventure, where guests can test their driving skills in sporty vehicles. Moreover, each visitor is offered the option to wear a GPS Adventure Band, which allows them to keep track of each other while in the park. The band also enables them to take part in electronic activities. For example, when the riders scan the band at the Off-Road Adventure, a photo will be taken and sent to their email.
In June 2017, Morgan’s Wonderland celebrated the opening of Morgan’s Inspiration Island. The new expansion is composed of five themed splash pads and a River Boat Adventure Ride. The wheelchair guests can be moved out of their chairs into unique, waterproof chairs and enjoy the splash park without risking damage to their personal wheelchairs.
“Morgan taught me that there’s more to life in many ways than what I saw before,” said Hartman. “The blessing that Morgan has brought is beyond anything that I ever could have imagined and could explain.”
29. What does “ultra-accessible” in the second paragraph imply
A. It’s easy for all visitors to use the facilities.
B. Admission is free for people young and old.
C. Wheelchairs are provided for every featured attraction.
D. Morgan’s Wonderland is situated in a convenient location.
30. What does the park provide to prevent personal wheelchairs from being damaged
A. Safe Boats. B. Water-resistant cloth. C. GPS bands. D. Special chairs.
31. Which of the following statements is true about Morgan’s Wonderland
A. Waterproof chairs enable visitors to wonder all over the park.
B. Morgan’s Inspiration Island includes 25 acres of attractions.
C. The success of the park is exactly what Morgan intended to achieve.
D. GPS bands allow visitors to enjoy the convenience of the electronic devices.
32. What is the passage mainly about
A. The new addition to Morgan’s Wonderland.
B. The establishment and features of a special theme park.
C. The advanced technological devices in Morgan’s Wonderland

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It took place in a teacher's family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique, which was handed down through generations from the l8th century. It was also his mother's favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued(粘贴) the pieces together hastily (匆忙地)and put the vase back to its place.
As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks(裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour's cat jumped in from the window and he couldn't drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son's nervous eyes and the suspicious (怀疑的) looks of the other family members. Ben's mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn't just simply blame（责备）and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.
Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.
In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother's face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window- opening cat!”
Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy's bad attitude disappeared.福州四校联盟2021-2022学年第二学期期末联考

The mother said, “ This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!" Hearing her sincere appreciation, Ben lowered his head and muttered (嘀咕) a thank-you. Surprisingly, the mother took out another chocolate and pressed it into his hand. “ This one is for the delicate repair work you did to the broken vase." She also added that she was moved by how much the boy treasured the family possessions. At these hearty remarks, Ben felt a flow of shame through his veins (血管),and had to duck his head even lower.
Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy's bad attitude disappeared. His palm (手心)and forehead sweating, nervousness welled up inside him. After what seemed a long time, he looked up at his mother, admitted that it was not the cat but he that had broken the vase accidentally and asked for punishment. “ I'm sorry I lied to you, mum. Please take back the chocolates." Feeling so ashamed, Ben couldn't hold back his tears. He opened his palm wide, ready to retum the chocolates. To his surprise, however, his mother placed the whole bag of chocolates in his hand, smiling. “ Honesty deserves the best reward, my dear."
