A
★☆☆☆☆
In just eight mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nths, my dog Toby had grown too big for our small apartment, so Mom sent him to Grandma’s farm. To comfort me, Mom got me a cat and I decided to train this cat.
First, I named him ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Wilbur. Next, I decided to train him not to make our apartment dirty. In order to train him to use the litter box my mother bought as his toilet, I followed him everywhere, watching for some sign that he wanted to go outside, just like I’d done with Toby. I waited and watched. But all that cat did was sleep. Pretty soon I fell asleep, too. When I woke up, I heard some noise from the box. I looked inside and found Wilbur in it, on his own.
If a cat could do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that by himself easily, I figured that teaching him a few tricks (把戏) would be a cinch. I set Wilbur down in front of me and said, “Sit”, pushing his back down gently, just like I’d done with Toby. However, he jumped away. This cat didn’t know anything about taking orders.
Then I decided to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )give him a bath. I’d washed Toby every Saturday. Strangely, at the sound of the running water, Wilbur began to lick (舔) himself. Mom saw what I was doing. “Oh, honey, cats don’t need baths.” She looked at Wilbur. “See ” she said. “They clean themselves.”
When Wilbur finishe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d bathing, he made a strange noise, like a motor running, so I sat down to get a better listen. To my surprise, Wilbur moved to me, and jumped onto my legs. Toby never did that! Seeing that, Mom said, “You know, cats only do that when they really like you.”
I looked up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at her, then down at the cat and said, “Let me introduce Wilbur, Mom. He is my friend now.”
56. What did the author do for the cat
A. He gave the cat a name.
B. He bought the cat a box.
C. He freed the cat from the toilet.
D. He helped the cat clean himself.
57. The underline ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d word “cinch” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____”.
A. boring thing B. simple thing【出处：21教育名师】
C. funny thing D. terrible thing
58. What did ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the author feel about Wilbur before he jumped onto his legs
A. He didn’t think Wilbur could be friends with Toby.
B. He didn’t think Wilbur would make a good pet.
C. He thought Wilbur was dirty.
D. He thought Wilbur was lazy.
59. From the text ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) we know that Toby did all the following things EXCEPT _____.
A. doing some tricks
B. taking baths every Saturday
C. jumping onto the author’s legs
D. giving signs when he wanted to go outside

A review of Sleeping freshmen never lie
Starting high sc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hool is never easy. Older schoolmates take your lunch money. Girls you’ve known forever are suddenly beautiful. And you can never get enough sleep. Could there be a worse time for Scott’s mother to tell him that she’s pregnant (怀孕的) Scott decides the first year of high school would be much easier if it came with a survival manual (生存手册), so he begins to write down suggestions for his new sibling (兄弟姊妹). At the same time, he’s trying his best to draw the attention of Julia, the freshman goddess. In the process, Scott takes part in nearly everything the school has to offer. So you will know what happens at school through Scott’s records.
Scott is a very i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntelligent student, and he spends much of his time reading. His older brother, Bobby, is the opposite type who never really cares about his education. There is one thing he cares deeply about and that’s music. Scott always looks up to Bobby even when he isn’t being the greatest brother in the world. Scott starts high school with a group of friends he thinks would stick with him until the end of the age.

Although the print for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m of the paper remains the largest local newspaper as well as the third largest newspaper in the US, behind The Wall Street Journal and USA Today, its weekday circulation (发行量) has fallen since 1990 to fewer than one million copies daily.

One summer night i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n 1900, a reporter appeared at the door of Thomas Edison’s laboratory and asked for an interview. The night guard wouldn’t admit him, even though Edison was still at work upstairs. The reporter, Remsen Crawford, said he needed to get Edison’s reaction to the news that seven of his inventions’ patents (专利) would run out at midnight.
The guard passed on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the request to Edison, who replied: “Go back. Tell that person that I say Mr. Edison has never used his inventions alone and never expects to in this world. So the ending of a patent has no influence upon the wealth of an inventor.”
Hearing Edison’s rep ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly, Crawford wrote another note: “What do you mean by ‘never used alone’ Must see you.”
Finally the great i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nventor admitted Crawford and gave him this statement: “In this country an inventor can’t stop people copying his inventions. The moment he invents something, other people will copy it and call it their own.”
Thirty years later, Cr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )awford was back at Edison’s laboratory. He again asked about patents and the money he got from them. Crawford asked him, “You have invented many things. Why aren’t you the richest man in the world today ”
Edison’s reply: ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) “Nearly $10,000,000,000, they tell me, is invested (投资) in modern industries which developed from ideas included in my inventions and my patents. But I’ve made very little money from my inventions. In my lifetime I’ve taken out 1180 patents so far. These patents have cost me more than they’ve returned me. I’ve made money through the introduction and sale of my products as a maker, not as an inventor.”
Edison was one of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the few fortunate inventors who knew that great engineering, on its own, earned nothing. The success of any technology lies in its business model and the protection of its patent. Unfortunately, Edison said, the U.S. had a “poor system” for protecting inventions.
67. According to Paragraph 1, Crawford visited Edison to _____.
A. tell him the news
B. see how hard Edison worked
C. know what Edison was inventing
D. find out Edison’s thoughts on the news
68. What was Edison’s attitude toward the ending of his patents
A. He was angry at it.
B. He didn’t believe it.
C. He didn’t care about it.
D. He was worried about it.
69. According to the text, how did Edison make money
A. By making investments.
B. By selling his products.
C. By making inventions.
D. By selling his ideas.
70. It is implied in the text that in Edison’s time _____.
A. America had no patent protection laws
B. his inventions were not highly valued
C. patents benefited inventors little
D. inventors were unfortunate

When Robert Sabuda ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was eight years old, he looked through a book in his dentist’s office and turned the pages quickly. Then he was transported to another dimension (维度) — the three-dimensional world of pop-ups (立体活动图). The book was heavier, thicker — unlike any book he had ever seen. It took his breath away. “When I opened it, I was shocked and pleased when something jumped right off the page,” says Sabuda. “I forgot all about the dentist.” But he never forgot about pop-ups.
Robert’s family and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )friends began to give him pop-up books for gifts. He took them apart and put them back together to see how they worked. Before long, he began making his own pop-up books and giving them as gifts.
With each pop- ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )up creation, Robert improved his pop-up engineering skills and discovered the value of failing.
“With each f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ailure,” Sabuda says, “I learned a better solution, one that I wouldn’t have ever imagined.”
Clearly, Sabuda was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on to something special. One of his high school art teachers, Mrs. Lucas, took a special interest in his abilities.
“She taught me how to draw, paint, and make prints,” says Sabuda.
Mrs. Lucas also hel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ped him go to the Pratt Institute, a famous art school in New York City. What Sabuda learned at the Pratt Institute allowed him to continue his exploration of three-dimensional art.
During his third ye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ar at Pratt, Sabuda took a summer internship (实习) at a publishing company, where he learned how children’s books are created, and realized what he wanted to do. As part of his job, he opened packages containing the artwork of children’s book illustrators (插图画家) such as Barbara Cooney and James Marshall.
“I decided there ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and then that I wanted to be a children’s book illustrator,” Sabuda says. “It was something that made my heart beat faster!”
After college ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), jobs designing packages and coloring books started him on his way. The rest is pop-up history. If his designs excite the child inside him, Sabuda feels that kids who pick up his books will be just as excited.
1. Paragraph 1 is mainly about _____.
A. how Sabuda became interested in pop-ups
B. the three-dimensional world of pop-ups
C. what happened to Sabuda’s dentist
D. a special book with pop-ups
2. Sabuda learned to make pop-ups by ______.
A. asking his family and friends to teach him
B. examining how they worked by himself
C. following the steps in the books
D. watching how they were made
3. What is Sabuda’s attitude towards failure
A. He thought it was useful.
B. He was afraid of failing.
C. He didn’t want to fail at all.
D. He was unconcerned about it.
4. We learn from the text that Mrs. Lucas _____.
A. taught at the Pratt Institute
B. taught three-dimensional art
C. helped Sabuda continue his dream

5. Sabuda decided to be a children’s book illustrator after he _____.

One possible version:
Thomas Alva Ediso ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n, my favourite scientist, was born in America in 1847. At a young age, Edison was told by his teacher that he was not smart enough to be in school, so his mother guided his learning herself. In 1863, Edison started working as a telegraph operator. The work experience was very helpful to his later inventions. In his lifetime, Edison got 1,093 patents in America, earning him the nickname “the wizard of Menlo Park”. His two most important inventions are the phonograph and the light bulb. Edison died on October 18, 1931. Several days after his death, the whole of the United States turned off its electric lights for one minute, in honor of the man whose discoveries had changed and improved the lives of people everywhere.

70. C。推理判断题。由第四段中的T ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he moment he invents something, other people will copy it and call it their own以及最后一段中的the U.S. had a “poor system” for protecting inventions可推测，在爱迪生的年代，发明家的专利并没有受到很好的保护，因此发明家从中获益很少。
