Why I Hate Cats
My name is Oreo, and I’m a ten-year-old, black-and-white Portuguese Water Dog. I’m well-mannered, polite, and friendly. But there is one thing that does set me off: cats. Frankly, I can’t stand them. With their messy hair, beady little eyes, and pointy teeth, they just set my curly coat on end.
I’m particularly not fond of the cat — the gray-colored creature across the street. If she would just stay in her house or even her yard, it wouldn’t be so bad. But, unlike me, she gets to go wherever she wants. No collar, no leash, and no boundaries from what I can see.
Like any responsible pet, I generally stay within my owners’ enclosed back yard. And when I do go out, it’s on a leash held by a human and attached to a collar. Ms. Gray Puss, on the other hand, wanders collarless across the street any time she likes. She even does her business anywhere and anytime she prefers, including on my owners’ lawn.
If she would just stay off my property, I’d be okay with her superior airs and standoffish attitude. But that’s not how she rolls. Sometimes, she comes over and pollutes my owners’ front garden, knowing full well that I’m only a few yards away on the other side of the fence and powerless to stop her.
Sometimes, when my owner takes me for a walk, I’ll spot that animal and take a run at her. Unfortunately, I always forget that I’m on a leash. Before I know it, I’m being dragged backwards. What’s particularly awkward is that the gray one doesn’t even move. I guess she knows I can’t get at her, and that’s why she doesn’t even deign to get up on all fours and at least hiss at me.
Mark my words: Someday, one of my owners will forget to lock the front gate, one of the fence boards will fall off, or my male owner Dave will forget to fully secure the leash. And when that day comes, someone’s going to suffer. I’m not sure why, but Dave keeps saying he thinks it will be me.
4. What do the underlined words “set me off” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. To see me off. B. To make me laugh.
C. To make me annoyed. D. To set out.
5. Who is number one on my hate list
A. Ms. Gray Puss. B. Dave. C. Oreo. D. Portuguese Water Dog.
6. Why do I hate Ms. Gray Puss
A. Because she always shows off in front of me.
B. Because I envy her freedom.
C. Because she pollutes my owner’s front garden.
D. Because she walks around without a leash.
7. What does Dave mean by keeping saying he thinks it will be me
A. It’ll be my fault to forget to lock the front door.
B. It’ll be careless of me to forget to secure the leash.
C. It will be I who will suffer if anything mentioned above happens.
D It will be I who will break the fence boards.

Snapchat is rolling out parental controls that allow parents to see their teenager’s contacts and report to the social media company — without their child’s knowledge — any accounts that may worry them.
The goal executives say, is to enable parents to monitor their child’s connections without giving up teens’ autonomy (自主性). Named Family Center, the new suite of tools released Tuesday requires both caregiver and teen to be involved in.
“It allows parents to see who’s in their teen’s universe,” said Nona Farahnik, director of platform policy for Snap, the company that makes Snapchat. “It offers parents the ability to ask who someone might be, how they might know a contact, which improves those real-time conversations about who teens are talking to.”
Farahnik says Family Center is modeled on real-life parenting. “If your teen is headed to the mall, you might ask who they’re going with. ‘How do you know them Are you guys on a sports team together Do you go to school together ’” said Farahnik. “But you won’t be sitting there at the mall with them listening to their conversations.” Similarly, parents cannot see the content that their teen is sending or receiving on Snapchat. They can only view whom their child has communicated with in the past seven days. Snapchat is popular with young people, partially because messages on the platform disappear within 24 hours.
The company says it consulted with safety experts and academics and conducted focus groups with parents to develop Family Center and it plans to roll out more features in the coming months. The tool is only for parents of kids under 18.
With Family Center, Snap follows other social media platforms, including Instagram, which recently have advanced parental controls. By at least one survey, Snapchat is the second-most popular social network among teens. The first, TikTok, offers “Family Sharing,” which gives parents a few ways to limit the videos shown to their kids.
“I think these platforms want to show that they can take steps to protect kids, that they can self-regulate and that they’re capable of doing it themselves without getting the government involved,” said Irene Ly, policy counsel for Common Sense Media, which reviews apps, games and media for families.
8. Who are probably the potential users of Family Center
A. Children who love computer games. B. Parents who worry about their children.
C. Parents whose children are under 18. D. Family members who live in harmony.
9. What can we learn about Family Center
A. It enables parents to know what their children talk about.
B. Parents can read messages sent or received by their children.
C. Children can cancel messages on their phones within 24 hours.
D. Parents can know who their children contact without children’s permission.
10. Why do young people favor Snapchat
A. Because they can know whom they have communicated with.
B. Because contact information on it can’t be read a day later.
C. Because it offers a few ways to limit the videos shown to them.
D. Because parents can monitor their connections without giving up autonomy.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Family Center: Snapchat’s new parental controls
B. Family Sharing: TikTok’s new parental controls
C. Snapchat: A popular social media company
D. Snapchat: A platform imitates real-life parenting
D
Here’s a fun brain teaser: How large does a random group of people have to be for there to be a 50% chance that at least two of the people will share a birthday The answer is 23, which surprises many people. How is this possible
When thinking about this question, known as the “birthday problem” or the “birthday paradox” in statistics, many people intuitively (直觉地) guess 183, since that is half of all possible birthdays, given how there are generally 365 days in a year. Unfortunately, intuition often fares poorly at this kind of statistical problem.
To calculate the answer to the birthday problem, Jim Frost, a statistician who has written three books about statistics and is a regular columnist for the American Society of Quality’s Statistics Digest, began with a few assumptions. First, he ignores leap years, since that simplifies the math and does not change the results by much. He also assumed that all birthdays have an equal chance of happening. If you start with a group of two people, the chance the first person does not share a birthday with the second is 364/365. As such, the likelihood they share a birthday is 1 minus (364/365)1, or a probability of about 0.27%. If you assume a group of three people, the first two people cover two dates. This means the chance the third person does not share a birthday with the other two is 363/365. As such, the likelihood they all share a birthday is 1 minus the product of (364/365) times (363/365), or a probability of about 0.82%.The more people in a group, the greater the chances that at least a pair of people will share a birthday. With 23 people, there is a 50.73% chance, Frost noted. With 57 people, there is a probability of 99%.“
The birthday problem is related to another exponential (指数的) growth problem, Frost noted. “In exchange for some service, suppose you’re offered to be paid 1 cent on the first day, 2 cents on the second day, 4 cents on the third, 8 cents, 16 cents, and so on, for 30 days,” Frost said. “Is that a good deal Most people think it’s a bad deal, but thanks to exponential growth, you’ll have a total of $10.7 million on the 30th day.”
12. What is the purpose of asking questions at the beginning of the passage
A. To present a fact. B. To answer the questions.
C. To stimulate reader’s curiosity. D. To surprise readers.
13 What does the underlined phrase “fare poorly” mean in paragraph 2
A. Charge little. B. Behave well.
C. Make mistakes. D. Earn little.
14. What is the exact probability that no one of the 23 students has the same birthday
A. 50%. B. 50.73%. C. 49.27%. D. 99%.
15 How can you earn $10.7 million in a month according to Frost
A. By multiplying the salary of the previous day by the salary of the next day.
B. By daydreaming of becoming a millionaire.
C. By making your salary of the next day twice that of the previous day.
D. By working hard day and night to raise the probability.

In other words, you are the master of our own future.
Take Abraham Lincoln for an example. He was born in a poor family, but only received a limited education in his childhood.

Why I Hate Cats
My name is Oreo, and I’m a ten-year-old, black-and-white Portuguese Water Dog. I’m well-mannered, polite, and friendly. But there is one thing that does set me off: cats. Frankly, I can’t stand them. With their messy hair, beady little eyes, and pointy teeth, they just set my curly coat on end.
I’m particularly not fond of the cat — the gray-colored creature across the street. If she would just stay in her house or even her yard, it wouldn’t be so bad. But, unlike me, she gets to go wherever she wants. No collar, no leash, and no boundaries from what I can see.
Like any responsible pet, I generally stay within my owners’ enclosed back yard. And when I do go out, it’s on a leash held by a human and attached to a collar. Ms. Gray Puss, on the other hand, wanders collarless across the street any time she likes. She even does her business anywhere and anytime she prefers, including on my owners’ lawn.
If she would just stay off my property, I’d be okay with her superior airs and standoffish attitude. But that’s not how she rolls. Sometimes, she comes over and pollutes my owners’ front garden, knowing full well that I’m only a few yards away on the other side of the fence and powerless to stop her.
Sometimes, when my owner takes me for a walk, I’ll spot that animal and take a run at her. Unfortunately, I always forget that I’m on a leash. Before I know it, I’m being dragged backwards. What’s particularly awkward is that the gray one doesn’t even move. I guess she knows I can’t get at her, and that’s why she doesn’t even deign to get up on all fours and at least hiss at me.
Mark my words: Someday, one of my owners will forget to lock the front gate, one of the fence boards will fall off, or my male owner Dave will forget to fully secure the leash. And when that day comes, someone’s going to suffer. I’m not sure why, but Dave keeps saying he thinks it will be me.
4. What do the underlined words “set me off” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. To see me off. B. To make me laugh.
C. To make me annoyed. D. To set out.
5. Who is number one on my hate list
A. Ms. Gray Puss. B. Dave. C. Oreo. D. Portuguese Water Dog.
6. Why do I hate Ms. Gray Puss
A. Because she always shows off in front of me.
B. Because I envy her freedom.
C. Because she pollutes my owner’s front garden.
D. Because she walks around without a leash.
7. What does Dave mean by keeping saying he thinks it will be me
A. It’ll be my fault to forget to lock the front door.
B. It’ll be careless of me to forget to secure the leash.
C. It will be I who will suffer if anything mentioned above happens.
D. It will be I who will break the fence boards.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。一只叫Oreo的狗讲述了自己对猫的讨厌和讨厌的理由。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“But there is one thing that does set me off: cats. Frankly, I can’t stand them. With their messy hair, beady little eyes, and pointy teeth, they just set my curly coat on end.(但有一样东西确实set me off：猫。坦率地说，我受不了他们。他们乱蓬蓬的头发，亮晶晶的小眼睛，尖尖的牙齿，完全让我的卷毛直立)”可知，Oreo受不了猫，看到猫他的卷毛会直立。由此推知，猫让作者恼火，set me off意为“让我恼火”，与To make me annoyed意思一致。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I’m particularly not fond of the cat — the gray-colored creature across the street.(我特别不喜欢那只猫——街对面那只灰色的动物)”和第三段的“Ms. Gray Puss, on the other hand, wanders collarless across the street any time she likes. She even does her business anywhere and anytime she prefers, including on my owners’ lawn.(另一方面，Gray Puss女士喜欢在街对面不戴项圈漫步。她甚至可以随时随地大小便，包括在我主人的草坪上)”可知，Oreo最讨厌的是Ms. Gray Puss这只猫。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“If she would just stay in her house or even her yard, it wouldn’t be so bad. But, unlike me, she gets to go wherever she wants. No collar, no leash, and no boundaries from what I can see.(如果她只是呆在她的房子里，甚至是她的院子里，事情就不会那么糟糕了。但不像我，她想去哪就去哪。没有项圈，没有皮带，在我看来没有界限)”可知，Oreo被项圈和皮带束缚着，但是Ms. Gray Puss这只猫却非常自由，想去哪就去哪。由此推知，Oreo讨厌Ms. Gray Puss的原因在于嫉妒她的自由。故选B项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Mark my words: Someday, one of my owners will forget to lock the front gate, one of the fence boards will fall off, or my male owner Dave will forget to fully secure the leash. And when that day comes, someone’s going to suffer. I’m not sure why, but Dave keeps saying he thinks it will be me.(记住我的话：总有一天，我的一个主人会忘记锁前门，一块栅栏板会掉下来，或者我的男主人Dave会忘记把皮带系牢。当那一天到来的时候，有人会受苦。我不知道为什么，但Dave一直说他认为会是我)”可知，Oreo的男主人Dave的意思是上面的情况发生的那一天，吃苦的会是作者这只狗。故选C项。

“I think these platforms want to show that they can take steps to protect kids, that they can self-regulate and that they’re capable of doing it themselves without getting the government involved,” said Irene Ly, policy counsel for Common Sense Media, which reviews apps, games and media for families.
8. Who are probably the potential users of Family Center
A. Children who love computer games. B. Parents who worry about their children.
C. Parents whose children are under 18. D. Family members who live in harmony.
9. What can we learn about Family Center
A. It enables parents to know what their children talk about.
B. Parents can read messages sent or received by their children.
C. Children can cancel messages on their phones within 24 hours.
D. Parents can know who their children contact without children’s permission.
10. Why do young people favor Snapchat
A. Because they can know whom they have communicated with.
B. Because contact information on it can’t be read a day later.
C. Because it offers a few ways to limit the videos shown to them.
D. Because parents can monitor their connections without giving up autonomy.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Family Center: Snapchat’s new parental controls
B. Family Sharing: TikTok’s new parental controls
C. Snapchat: A popular social media company
D. Snapchat: A platform imitates real-life parenting
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了Snapchat将推出家长控制功能，让父母能够在不放弃青少年自主权的情况下监控孩子的网络连接。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“The tool is only for parents of kids under 18. (该工具仅适用于18岁以下儿童的父母)”可知，子女未满18岁的父母会是潜在客户。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Similarly, parents cannot see the content that their teen is sending or receiving on Snapchat. They can only view whom their child has communicated with in the past seven days. Snapchat is popular with young people, partially because messages on the platform disappear within 24 hours. (同样，父母也无法看到他们的孩子在Snapchat上发送或接收的内容。他们只能看到他们的孩子在过去七天内与谁有过联系。Snapchat在年轻人中很受欢迎，部分原因是该平台上的信息会在24小时内消失)”可知，父母无法看到发送或接收的内容，所以A项和B项错误，C项文中未提及，所以D项“父母可以在没有孩子允许的情况下知道他们的孩子与谁联系”正确。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Snapchat is popular with young people, partially because messages on the platform disappear within 24 hours. (Snapchat在年轻人中很受欢迎，部分原因是该平台上的信息会在24小时内消失)”可知，因为上面的信息一天后就看不出来了，导致年轻人喜欢Snapchat。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Snapchat is rolling out parental controls that allow parents to see their teenager’s contacts and report to the social media company — without their child’s knowledge — any accounts that may worry them. (Snapchat将推出家长控制功能，允许家长查看孩子的联系人，并在孩子不知情的情况下向社交媒体公司报告任何可能让他们担心的账户)”可知，本文主要讲述了Snapchat推出了家长控制功能，再根据第四段“Farahnik says Family Center is modeled on real-life parenting. (法拉尼克说，家庭中心是以现实生活中的育儿方式为模型的)”可知，家庭中心是以现实生活中的育儿方式为模型的，所以D项“Snapchat: A platform imitates real-life parenting (Snapchat:一个模仿现实育儿的平台)”是本文最合适的标题。故选D项。
D
Here’s a fun brain teaser: How large does a random group of people have to be for there to be a 50% chance that at least two of the people will share a birthday The answer is 23, which surprises many people. How is this possible
When thinking about this question, known as the “birthday problem” or the “birthday paradox” in statistics, many people intuitively (直觉地) guess 183, since that is half of all possible birthdays, given how there are generally 365 days in a year. Unfortunately, intuition often fares poorly at this kind of statistical problem.
To calculate the answer to the birthday problem, Jim Frost, a statistician who has written three books about statistics and is a regular columnist for the American Society of Quality’s Statistics Digest, began with a few assumptions. First, he ignores leap years, since that simplifies the math and does not change the results by much. He also assumed that all birthdays have an equal chance of happening. If you start with a group of two people, the chance the first person does not share a birthday with the second is 364/365. As such, the likelihood they share a birthday is 1 minus (364/365)1, or a probability of about 0.27%. If you assume a group of three people, the first two people cover two dates. This means the chance the third person does not share a birthday with the other two is 363/365. As such, the likelihood they all share a birthday is 1 minus the product of (364/365) times (363/365), or a probability of about 0.82%.The more people in a group, the greater the chances that at least a pair of people will share a birthday. With 23 people, there is a 50.73% chance, Frost noted. With 57 people, there is a probability of 99%.“
The birthday problem is related to another exponential (指数的) growth problem, Frost noted. “In exchange for some service, suppose you’re offered to be paid 1 cent on the first day, 2 cents on the second day, 4 cents on the third, 8 cents, 16 cents, and so on, for 30 days,” Frost said. “Is that a good deal Most people think it’s a bad deal, but thanks to exponential growth, you’ll have a total of $10.7 million on the 30th day.”
12. What is the purpose of asking questions at the beginning of the passage
A. To present a fact. B. To answer the questions.
C. To stimulate reader’s curiosity. D. To surprise readers.
13. What does the underlined phrase “fare poorly” mean in paragraph 2
A. Charge little. B. Behave well.
C. Make mistakes. D. Earn little.
14. What is the exact probability that no one of the 23 students has the same birthday
A. 50%. B. 50.73%. C. 49.27%. D. 99%.
15. How can you earn $10.7 million in a month according to Frost
A. By multiplying the salary of the previous day by the salary of the next day.
B. By daydreaming of becoming a millionaire.
C. By making your salary of the next day twice that of the previous day.
D. By working hard day and night to raise the probability.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了23中，有50%的机会让其中至少两个人同一天生日，和其计算过程。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Here’s a fun brain teaser: How large does a random group of people have to be for there to be a 50% chance that at least two of the people will share a birthday The answer is 23, which surprises many people. How is this possible (这里有一个有趣的脑筋急转弯：在一个随机的人群中，要有多大的人才有50%的机会让其中至少两个人同一天生日 答案是23，这让很多人感到惊讶。这怎么可能呢 )”可推知，此处作者通过设问的方式，激发读者好奇心，引发读者继续阅读的兴趣。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“When thinking about this question, known as the “birthday problem” or the “birthday paradox” in statistics, many people intuitively (直觉地) guess 183, since that is half of all possible birthdays, given how there are generally 365 days in a year. (在思考这个被称为“生日问题”或统计学中的“生日悖论”的问题时，许多人直觉地猜测是183，因为这是所有可能生日的一半，因为一年通常有365天)”可知，对上文提到的问题，很多人直觉是183人，根据上文给出的答案和后文的“Unfortunately”可知，直觉是错误的，所以可以推知fares poorly是犯错之意，和C项“Make mistakes. (犯错误)”意思相近。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“With 23 people, there is a 50.73% chance, Frost noted. (弗罗斯特指出，如果有23个人，则有50.73%的可能性)”可知，23个学生中没有人生日相同的确切概率是1-50.73%=49.27%。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““In exchange for some service, suppose you’re offered to be paid 1 cent on the first day, 2 cents on the second day, 4 cents on the third, 8 cents, 16 cents, and so on, for 30 days,” Frost said. “Is that a good deal Most people think it’s a bad deal, but thanks to exponential growth, you’ll have a total of $10.7 million on the 30th day.” (“作为服务的交换，假设你第一天得到1美分，第二天2美分，第三天4美分，8美分，16美分，以此类推，持续30天，”弗罗斯特说。“划算吗 大多数人认为这是一笔糟糕的交易，但多亏了指数级增长，你在第30天就能赚到1070万美元。”)”可知，只需第二天的工资是前一天的两倍，就可以在一个月内赚到1070万美元。故选C项。

In the English Reading Week, one of my classmates recommends a quote to us, that goes like this: “Your future depends on many things, but mostly on you.” I can’t agree more this view. It’s truly that our future is determined by many things, such as opportunities and help from others, but our own attitude, determination, and hard work play a more important role. In other words, you are the master of our own future.
Take Abraham Lincoln for an example. He was born in a poor family, but only received a limited education in his childhood. Yet through his painstaking efforts, he changed not only his own fate but also the history of America. Even today, Lincoln is regarding as one of the most inspired figures in the world. Moreover, I firmly believe that our future is in our own hands.
【答案】1. recommends→recommended
2. that→which
3. 在agree more后加with
4. truly→true
5. you→we
6. 去掉example前的an
7. but→and
8. regarding→regarded
9. inspired→inspiring
10. Moreover→Therefore
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。讲述的是人们的“命运”大多数取决于“自己”。
【详解】1. 考查动词时态。句意：在英语阅读周上，我的一位同学给我们推荐了一句话：“你的未来取决于很多事情，但主要取决于你自己。”分析句子结构，根据时间状语In the English Reading Week，可知，本句应该用一般过去时。故将recommends改为recommended。
2. 考查定语从句。句意：在英语阅读周上，我的一位同学给我们推荐了一句话：“你的未来取决于很多事情，但主要取决于你自己。”分析句子结构可知，that引导的是非限制性定语从句，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是quote，在从句中作主语，应该用which引导。故将that改为which。
3. 考查介词。句意：我完全同意这个观点。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配：can’t agree more with意为“非常赞同”。故在agree more后加with。
4. 考查形容词。句意：的确，我们的未来是由很多事情决定的，比如机会和别人的帮助，但是我们自己的态度、决心和努力起着更重要的作用。分析句子结构可知，truly前是is为系动词，后应接形容词作表语，所以truly应变为形容词。故将truly改为true。
5. 考查代词。句意：换句话说，我们是自己未来的主人。分析句子结构，根据后文的“our own future”可知，主语应该是we符合句意。故将you改为we。
6. 考查冠词。句意：以亚伯拉罕·林肯为例。分析句子结构可知，take...for example为固定搭配，意为“以……为例”，example前无需加冠词修饰。故去掉example前的an。
7. 考查连词。句意：他出生在一个贫穷的家庭，童年只受过有限的教育。分析句子结构可知，“was born in a poor family”和“only received a limited education in his childhood”两者是并列关系，而非转折关系，应该用and连接。故将but改为and。
8. 考查非谓语动词。句意：即使在今天，林肯仍被认为是世界上最鼓舞人心的人物之一。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定搭配：be regarded as意为“被认为”。故将regarding改为regarded。
9. 考查形容词。句意：即使在今天，林肯仍被认为是世界上最鼓舞人心的人物之一。分析句子结构可知，inspired意为“受到启发的”，inspiring意为“鼓舞人心的”，此处应是“林肯仍被认为是世界上最鼓舞人心的人物之一”之意，符合实际。故将inspired改为inspiring。
10. 考查副词。句意：因此，我坚信，我们的未来掌握在自己手中。分析句子结构可知，“I firmly believe that our future is in our own hands. (我坚信，我们的未来掌握在自己手中)”和前句构成因果关系，而非递进关系，应用Therefore连接。故将Moreover改为Therefore。
