阅读下列短文，从每题所给四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Soon, you’ re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.
One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.
Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’ t be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. Bushes must be pruned (剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.
Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing (施肥) have turned the little plant into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long disappeared under the thick leaves.
Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold. First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June. But they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.
Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I’ ll think about that tomorrow.
4. What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose
A. Frequent pruning and fertilizing.
B. A lot of care and the right soil.
C. Tomato plants grown alongside.
D. Cages placed around the roots.
5. The writer planted the tomato plant because______.
A. there was room for it in the garden
B. the soil was just right for it
C. it cost only $1. 25
D. the roses’ branches needed to be covered
6. This year the writer’s roses were_______.
A. removed from the rose bed
B. largely hidden under the tomato plant
C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight
D. picked along with the tomatoes
7. By saying “the prize so dearly won” in Paragraph 5, the writer wants to_________.
A. express her liking for the roses
B. show the hardship of growing the roses
C. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes
D express her care for the tomatoes
C
China has built in Kunming City, Yunnan Province, the Germplasm (种质) Bank of Wild Species, a comprehensive national database for the collection and preservation of wildlife germplasm resources. As of the end of 2020, the bank preserved 85,046 copies of 10,601 wild plant seeds for protecting wildlife germplasm resources. Preserving dried and frozen seeds, the bank provides technological support for the protection and research, makes use of China’s wildlife germplasm resources, and plays a major part in international biodiversity conservation.
The importance of science and technology for biodiversity conservation is increasingly obvious. When remote sensor monitoring was not available, agricultural technicians had no choice but to go for field studies, which could barely meet the need for large-scale, fast and nondestructive (非破坏性的) monitoring of crop conditions and timely prevention and control of diseases and pests. Nowadays, remote sensor monitoring has been applied in agricultural production in China, allowing agricultural technicians to analyze the movements of insect pests and evaluate plant diseases and insect pests by monitoring remotely the vegetation growth, coverage, surface temperature, humidity and other indicators.
In the Internet era, information technology has made the processing of massive data possible and created wider and more convenient platforms for biodiversity conservation in China, including Chinese Virtual Herbarium, Plant Photo Bank of China, and National Animal Collection Resource Center. The emergence of databases and digital programs in recent years is driving China to turn around its seriously threatened biodiversity.
From the collection and storage of information to the management and analysis of resources, the constantly improving biodiversity information network has realized the exploration and use of massive biodiversity data, providing a solid foundation for China’s biodiversity conservation and research. Biodiversity conservation and science and technology are inextricable. Only by making science and technology a strong support for biodiversity conservation can humankind guard the Earth and build a beautiful world of harmony among all beings on the planet.
8. What can we learn about the bank from paragraph 1
A. Its crisis. B. Its administration. C. Its role. D. Its staff.
9. What do researchers hardly need to do with the help of remote sensor monitoring
A. Evaluate plant diseases and insect pests.
B. Go to fields to control the plant diseases.
C. Analyze the tracks of the pests of plants.
D. Satisfy the need to monitor crop conditions.
10. What does the underlined word “inextricable” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Linked. B. Competitive. C. Inadequate. D. Inessential.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Germplasm Bank of Wild Species Develops Fast
B. Technologies Promote Chinese Biodiversity Protection
C. China Has Made Great Efforts to Process Massive Data
D. Information Technology Contributes Much to Many Fields
D
As temperatures rise to record levels and wildfires happen around the world, the need to meet net zero targets has never been more urgent. At the same time, increasing climate resilience (适应力) across food systems will be needed to fight rising hunger, according to UN General Assembly President Abdulla Shahid.
Agrivoltaic farming (光伏农业), which uses the shaded space under solar panels (太阳能电池板) to grow crops, could be a way out. In the system, solar panels have to sometimes be lifted or suspended to allow plants to grow beneath them. Another option is putting them on the roofs of greenhouses. This allows enough light and rainwater to reach the crops and provides access for farm machinery.
Certain crops appear to grow well when grown in such environments, according to many recent studies. Researchers in South Korea have been growing a kind of vegetable underneath solar panels. The panels are positioned 2~3 metres off the ground and sit at an angle of 30 degrees, providing shade and offering crops protection from the sun. The researchers, from Chonnam National University, discovered that the vegetable produced was a deeper shade of green, thus attracting many consumers.
Elsewhere, Agrivoltaic systems in East Africa are allowing farmers to make better use of land. An Agrivoltaic farming project in Kenya is using solar panels held several metres off the ground, with gaps in between them. The shade from the panels protects vegetables from heat stress and water loss. This has resulted in rural farmers being able to grow a greater range of higher-value crops. The project effectively harvests the power of the sun twice, the researchers say.
Overall, Agrivoltaic farming is one way of using the same area of land to produce more food while also rolling out more sources of renewable energy. According to Brite Solar CEO Dr. Nick Kanopoulos, who is a highly skilled solar energy expert, it’s a new way of farming—one that is fully electric, runs on renewable resources, and is capable of producing the food we need to feed the future.
12. What is the second paragraph intended to introduce about Agrivoltaic farming
A. How it is built. B. How it is accepted.
C. How it is spread. D. How it is developed.
13. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Crops. B. Plants. C. Solar panels. D. Roofs.
14. What is the advantage of Agrivoltaic farming over traditional farming
A. It uses land more efficiently. B. It saves money on labor costs.
C. It can reduce wildfire risks. D. It is easily managed.
15. What does the author refer to when evaluating Agrivoltaic farming
A. A common belief. B. An expert’s opinion.
C. A conclusion of previous research. D. An organization’s announcement.

What Your Dog Is Really Thinking
Reading a pup’s body language requires experience and expert guidance. Zazie Todd, a dog trainer and founder of the blog Companion Animal Psychology, considers how to figure out the dogs’ behaviour.
If your dog licks their mouth
They’re stressed. Recently, two European studies have highlighted the meaning of this licking. One found that it was a dogs’ response to seeing an angry or aggressive human face on a computer screen. ___16___ . If you spot this sign, try reducing your dog’s stress levels. It could be as simple as giving them more physical space.
If there are fireworks and your dog is shaking
The noises are frightening. ___17___ . But a surprising number of people don’t realize that shaking and trembling (and hiding or seeking out people) are signs of fear. Whereas only a quarter of owners say their dog is afraid of loud noises, half report these behavioural signs.
___18___
They’re anxious. Obvious signs of an unhappy dog include hiding or trying to leave the exam room, but commonly missed signs range from a tucked tail and lowered ears to trembling. If your dog gets stressed at appointments, ask what can be done. Many vets now use food to make the experience more fun.
If your dog leans into you during a petting session.
___19___ . If you’re unsure that a dog is enjoying being petted, stop, then watch their reaction. If they choose to wander of, the session is over. Other signs of discomfort include smelling the floor, looking away and breathing heavily. However, if they lean on you or scratch at you to get more hugs, continue! ___20___ .
A. They hate it
B. They like it
C. This is a common reaction
D. If you’re at the vet and your dog’s tail is down
E. If your dog looks guilty when you walk in the door and see a mess
F. Preferred spots on their bodies are to either side of the chest and under the chin
G. The other determined that dogs lick their mouths—and also look away—in response to a mild threat

Sandy and Jane came to see the jobo tree on the hilltop again. Jobos were their favorite fruit, but the tree belonged to a lady who lived in the house by the hill. They heard she was difficult, but that sometimes she would give fruit in return for an errand(差使)
The girls finally gathered their courage to knock on her door. An elderly woman with a fierce look answered, staring down at the girls. “We heard …”said Sandy, her voice shaky, “that you give jobos in payment for running an errand.”
The lady raised one eyebrow, then went into the kitchen and took two baskets. She pushed them into the girls’ hands.“Go fill these with jobos, and come right back.”
The girls raced up the hill to the tree and filled the baskets with the ripest jobos. Back at the house, the lady filled a bag with rice and handed it to Sandy. “Take this bag and one basket of jobos to the Brown family. And ask them for the payment,” the lady added with a tight smile.“If you return without the payment, you won’t get the fruit.”
The girls struggled all the way with the bag and the basket. When they were there, Mrs. Brown answered the door. Inside on the floor were three little children, each painting something on papers.
Mr. Brown was lying sick in bed.Times were hard.
The girls handed her the food.“This is from the lady with the jobo tree, ” said Sandy.
“She asked for the payment, too.”Jane said awkwardly.
“The payment! The payment!” The children repeated, waving the paper in their hands happily.
Sandy and Jane looked at each other strangely. With a smile, Mrs. Brown handed Sandy a large sealed(密封的)envelope so full that it was almost starting to break open. The girls said goodbye and left quickly. “I wonder,” Sandy murmured, “whether Mrs. Brown can afford to pay for that food.”

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者种西红柿的经历。作者在春天偶然栽种的一棵西红柿长成后个头非常大，影响到了园中的玫瑰花，作者在享受西红柿美味的同时，又难以割舍珍贵的玫瑰花，面对两种选择，作者举棋不定。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’ t be worth the work. (玫瑰需要精心呵护，如果不是为了它带来的乐趣，它就不值得花那么多功夫)”和第四段中的“Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes.(正好适合玫瑰生长的土壤条件对番茄来说更完美)”可知，玫瑰健康生长需要大量的照料和正确的土壤。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。从第三段倒数第二句“It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. (是因为花园里有足够的空间，我才种了一株小小的番茄)”可知，作家种西红柿是因为花园里有空地。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1. 25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. (花1美元买了一株9英寸的小植物，在春天的时候，它已经占据了我的大部分玫瑰花圃，覆盖了很多其他的植物，而且很快就会到达前门)”可知，西红柿已经盖住了玫瑰花。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据本段首句中the task可知，作者将摘西红柿看成是一项“任务”；以及“First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw (缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. (首先，我必须在叶子中找到红色的，这意味着我几乎要倒立起来，一旦找到了，我就必须把手伸到下面，摘起西红柿，然后收回我的拳头，不让我来之不易的奖品掉下去)”可知，在第5段中，作者想通过说“来之不易的奖品”来表达摘西红柿的困难。故选C项。
C
China has built in Kunming City, Yunnan Province, the Germplasm (种质) Bank of Wild Species, a comprehensive national database for the collection and preservation of wildlife germplasm resources. As of the end of 2020, the bank preserved 85,046 copies of 10,601 wild plant seeds for protecting wildlife germplasm resources. Preserving dried and frozen seeds, the bank provides technological support for the protection and research, makes use of China’s wildlife germplasm resources, and plays a major part in international biodiversity conservation.
The importance of science and technology for biodiversity conservation is increasingly obvious. When remote sensor monitoring was not available, agricultural technicians had no choice but to go for field studies, which could barely meet the need for large-scale, fast and nondestructive (非破坏性的) monitoring of crop conditions and timely prevention and control of diseases and pests. Nowadays, remote sensor monitoring has been applied in agricultural production in China, allowing agricultural technicians to analyze the movements of insect pests and evaluate plant diseases and insect pests by monitoring remotely the vegetation growth, coverage, surface temperature, humidity and other indicators.
In the Internet era, information technology has made the processing of massive data possible and created wider and more convenient platforms for biodiversity conservation in China, including Chinese Virtual Herbarium, Plant Photo Bank of China, and National Animal Collection Resource Center. The emergence of databases and digital programs in recent years is driving China to turn around its seriously threatened biodiversity.
From the collection and storage of information to the management and analysis of resources, the constantly improving biodiversity information network has realized the exploration and use of massive biodiversity data, providing a solid foundation for China’s biodiversity conservation and research. Biodiversity conservation and science and technology are inextricable. Only by making science and technology a strong support for biodiversity conservation can humankind guard the Earth and build a beautiful world of harmony among all beings on the planet.
8. What can we learn about the bank from paragraph 1
A. Its crisis. B. Its administration. C. Its role. D. Its staff.
9. What do researchers hardly need to do with the help of remote sensor monitoring
A. Evaluate plant diseases and insect pests.
B. Go to fields to control the plant diseases.
C. Analyze the tracks of the pests of plants.
D. Satisfy the need to monitor crop conditions.
10. What does the underlined word “inextricable” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Linked. B. Competitive. C. Inadequate. D. Inessential.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Germplasm Bank of Wild Species Develops Fast
B. Technologies Promote Chinese Biodiversity Protection
C. China Has Made Great Efforts to Process Massive Data
D. Information Technology Contributes Much to Many Fields
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科技在保护生物多样性中的重要性。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“China has built in Kunming City, Yunnan Province, the Germplasm (种质) Bank of Wild Species, a comprehensive national database for the collection and preservation of wildlife germplasm resources. As of the end of 2020, the bank preserved 85,046 copies of 10,601 wild plant seeds for protecting wildlife germplasm resources. Preserving dried and frozen seeds, the bank provides technological support for the protection and research, makes use of China’s wildlife germplasm resources, and plays a major part in international biodiversity conservation.”(中国在云南省昆明市建立了野生物种种质资源库，这是一个综合性的国家野生动物种质资源收集和保存数据库。截至2020年底，野生植物种子库共保存10601种野生植物种子85046份，保护野生植物种质资源。种子库保存干燥和冷冻种子，为保护和研究提供技术支持，充分利用中国野生生物种质资源，在国际生物多样性保护中发挥重要作用。)可知，第一段主要介绍了野生物种种质资源库在保护生物多样性方面发挥的作用，也就是资源库所扮演的角色。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“When remote sensor monitoring was not available, agricultural technicians had no choice but to go for field studies, which could barely meet the need for large-scale, fast and nondestructive (非破坏性的) monitoring of crop conditions and timely prevention and control of diseases and pests. ”(在没有遥感监测的情况下，农业技术人员只能进行实地考察，难以满足大规模、快速、无损地监测作物状况和及时防治病虫害的需要。)可知，在没有遥感监测的情况下，研究人员需要进行实地考察；再根据“Nowadays, remote sensor monitoring has been applied in agricultural production in China, allowing agricultural technicians to analyze the movements of insect pests and evaluate plant diseases and insect pests by monitoring remotely the vegetation growth, coverage, surface temperature, humidity and other indicators.”(如今，遥感监测已经在中国的农业生产中得到了应用，农业技术人员通过远程监测植被生长、覆盖度、地表温度、湿度等指标，分析病虫害的动态，评价病虫害。)可知，在遥感监测的帮助下，研究人员可以通过远程监控的方式查看植被的生长动态，可推断有了遥感监测，研究人员几乎不需要进行实地考察了。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“From the collection and storage of information to the management and analysis of resources, the constantly improving biodiversity information network has realized the exploration and use of massive biodiversity data, providing a solid foundation for China’s biodiversity conservation and research.”(从信息的收集和存储到资源的管理和分析，不断完善的生物多样性信息网络实现了对海量生物多样性数据的挖掘和利用，为中国生物多样性保护和研究提供了坚实的基础。)可知，科技为生物多样性的保护提供了重要支持，两者息息相关的，可推断“Biodiversity conservation and science and technology are inextricable.”(生物多样性保护与科技是inextricable。)中的inextricable意为“息息相关的，密切相关的”，与linked表达的含义一致。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。观察文章结构可知，文章先通过对野生物种种质资源库的介绍，说明了技术支持对该资源库的作用，从而引出了科技在生物多样性保护中的作用；接下来第二段和第三段分段进一步详细阐述了科技在生物多样性保护中发挥的作用，最后一段进行总结归纳，强调了生物多样性保护和科技是密不可分的，由此可知文章是围绕科技对于生物多样性保护的作用而展开的，所以B选项“科技促进中国生物多样性保护”概括了文章内容。故选B项。
D
As temperatures rise to record levels and wildfires happen around the world, the need to meet net zero targets has never been more urgent. At the same time, increasing climate resilience (适应力) across food systems will be needed to fight rising hunger, according to UN General Assembly President Abdulla Shahid.
Agrivoltaic farming (光伏农业), which uses the shaded space under solar panels (太阳能电池板) to grow crops, could be a way out. In the system, solar panels have to sometimes be lifted or suspended to allow plants to grow beneath them. Another option is putting them on the roofs of greenhouses. This allows enough light and rainwater to reach the crops and provides access for farm machinery.
Certain crops appear to grow well when grown in such environments, according to many recent studies. Researchers in South Korea have been growing a kind of vegetable underneath solar panels. The panels are positioned 2~3 metres off the ground and sit at an angle of 30 degrees, providing shade and offering crops protection from the sun. The researchers, from Chonnam National University, discovered that the vegetable produced was a deeper shade of green, thus attracting many consumers.
Elsewhere, Agrivoltaic systems in East Africa are allowing farmers to make better use of land. An Agrivoltaic farming project in Kenya is using solar panels held several metres off the ground, with gaps in between them. The shade from the panels protects vegetables from heat stress and water loss. This has resulted in rural farmers being able to grow a greater range of higher-value crops. The project effectively harvests the power of the sun twice, the researchers say.
Overall, Agrivoltaic farming is one way of using the same area of land to produce more food while also rolling out more sources of renewable energy. According to Brite Solar CEO Dr. Nick Kanopoulos, who is a highly skilled solar energy expert, it’s a new way of farming—one that is fully electric, runs on renewable resources, and is capable of producing the food we need to feed the future.
12. What is the second paragraph intended to introduce about Agrivoltaic farming
A. How it is built. B. How it is accepted.
C. How it is spread. D. How it is developed.
13. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to
A Crops. B. Plants. C. Solar panels. D. Roofs.
14. What is the advantage of Agrivoltaic farming over traditional farming
A. It uses land more efficiently. B. It saves money on labor costs.
C. It can reduce wildfire risks. D. It is easily managed.
15. What does the author refer to when evaluating Agrivoltaic farming
A. A common belief. B. An expert’s opinion.
C. A conclusion of previous research. D. An organization’s announcement.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了光伏农业及其优点。

What Your Dog Is Really Thinking
Reading a pup’s body language requires experience and expert guidance. Zazie Todd a dog trainer and founder of the blog Companion Animal Psychology, considers how to figure out the dogs’ behaviour.
If your dog licks their mouth
They’re stressed. Recently, two European studies have highlighted the meaning of this licking. One found that it was a dogs’ response to seeing an angry or aggressive human face on a computer screen. ___16___ . If you spot this sign, try reducing your dog’s stress levels. It could be as simple as giving them more physical space.
If there are fireworks and your dog is shaking
The noises are frightening. ___17___ . But a surprising number of people don’t realize that shaking and trembling (and hiding or seeking out people) are signs of fear. Whereas only a quarter of owners say their dog is afraid of loud noises, half report these behavioural signs.
___18___
They’re anxious. Obvious signs of an unhappy dog include hiding or trying to leave the exam room, but commonly missed signs range from a tucked tail and lowered ears to trembling. If your dog gets stressed at appointments, ask what can be done. Many vets now use food to make the experience more fun.
If your dog leans into you during a petting session.
___19___ . If you’re unsure that a dog is enjoying being petted, stop, then watch their reaction. If they choose to wander of, the session is over. Other signs of discomfort include smelling the floor, looking away and breathing heavily. However, if they lean on you or scratch at you to get more hugs, continue! ___20___ .
A. They hate it
B. They like it
C. This is a common reaction
D. If you’re at the vet and your dog’s tail is down
E. If your dog looks guilty when you walk in the door and see a mess
F. Preferred spots on their bodies are to either side of the chest and under the chin
G. The other determined that dogs lick their mouths—and also look away—in response to a mild threat
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. D 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了狗的四种肢体代表的含义。
【16题详解】
根据上文“They’re stressed. Recently, two European studies have highlighted the meaning of this licking. One found that it was a dogs’ response to seeing an angry or aggressive human face on a computer screen.”（他们紧张。最近，两项欧洲研究强调了这种舔的意义。其中一项研究发现，这是狗在电脑屏幕上看到愤怒或咄咄逼人的人脸时的反应。）可知，上文提到了一项研究发现，可知本句是在说明另一项研究的发现。结合选项G项The other determined that dogs lick their mouths—and also look away—in response to a mild threat.（另一项研究确定，狗在受到轻微威胁时，会舔自己的嘴，同时也会把目光移开。）符合此推断，为对上文内容的语意递进，符合语境。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“The noises are frightening.”（噪音太吓人了。）以及下文“But a surprising number of people don’t realize that shaking and trembling (and hiding or seeking out people) are signs of fear. Whereas only a quarter of owners say their dog is afraid of loud noises, half report these behavioural signs.”（但令人惊讶的是，很多人没有意识到颤抖和颤抖(以及躲起来或寻找别人)是恐惧的表现。虽然只有四分之一的主人说他们的狗害怕大声的噪音，但有一半的人报告了这些行为迹象。）可知，上文提到噪音吓人，且后文提到很多人没有意识到发抖和颤抖(以及躲起来或寻找别人)是恐惧的表现，说明狗听到噪音并发抖是一个常见的反应，很多人没有意识到这恐惧的表现。结合选项C项This is a common reaction.（这是一种常见的反应。）可知，和上下文内容相关，起到上下文的承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯。故选C项。
【18题详解】
由该题为段落小标题可知，为总结该段内容。该段下文“They’re anxious. Obvious signs of an unhappy dog include hiding or trying to leave the exam room, but commonly missed signs range from a tucked tail and lowered ears to trembling. If your dog gets stressed at appointments, ask what can be done. Many vets now use food to make the experience more fun.”（他们焦虑。狗狗不开心的明显迹象包括躲起来或试图离开检查室，但通常被忽略的迹象包括夹起尾巴、垂下耳朵、颤抖。如果你的狗在约会时感到压力，问问能做些什么。许多兽医现在用食物来增加体验的乐趣。）可知，本段主要说明狗焦虑时的一些外在表现。结合选项D项If you’re at the vet and your dog’s tail is down（如果你在兽医那里，你的狗的尾巴是下垂的。）意思一致，为总结该段内容，选项中的tail is down对应下文中的a tucked tail。故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“If you’re unsure that a dog is enjoying being petted, stop, then watch their reaction. If they choose to wander of, the session is over. Other signs of discomfort include smelling the floor, looking away and breathing heavily. However, if they lean on you or scratch at you to get more hugs, continue!”（如果你不确定狗狗是否喜欢被抚摸，停下来，然后观察它们的反应。如果它们选择闲逛，那么就结束了。其他不舒服的迹象还包括闻地板的气味、转移视线和呼吸沉重。然而，如果它们靠在你身上或抓你来得到更多的拥抱，继续！）可知，说明狗在爱抚你的时候倾身靠近你是说明它们喜欢这种爱抚。结合选项B项They like it.（它们喜欢。）可知，上下文紧密连接，符合语境。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“However, if they lean on you or scratch at you to get more hugs, continue!”（然而，如果它们靠在你身上或抓你来得到更多的拥抱，继续！）可知上文提到建议继续抚摸狗，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明应该抚摸狗的哪些部位。结合选项F项Preferred spots on their bodies are to either side of the chest and under the chin.（它们身体上的首选位置是胸部两侧和下巴下方。）符合此推断，承接上文内容，上下文紧密连接，符合语境。故选F项。

47. 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。
Sandy and Jane came to see the jobo tree on the hilltop again. Jobos were their favorite fruit, but the tree belonged to a lady who lived in the house by the hill. They heard she was difficult, but that sometimes she would give fruit in return for an errand(差使)
The girls finally gathered their courage to knock on her door. An elderly woman with a fierce look answered, staring down at the girls. “We heard …”said Sandy, her voice shaky, “that you give jobos in payment for running an errand.”
The lady raised one eyebrow, then went into the kitchen and took two baskets. She pushed them into the girls’ hands.“Go fill these with jobos, and come right back.”
The girls raced up the hill to the tree and filled the baskets with the ripest jobos. Back at the house, the lady filled a bag with rice and handed it to Sandy. “Take this bag and one basket of jobos to the Brown family. And ask them for the payment,” the lady added with a tight smile.“If you return without the payment, you won’t get the fruit.”
The girls struggled all the way with the bag and the basket. When they were there, Mrs. Brown answered the door. Inside on the floor were three little children, each painting something on papers.
Mr. Brown was lying sick in bed.Times were hard.
The girls handed her the food.“This is from the lady with the jobo tree, ” said Sandy.
“She asked for the payment, too.”Jane said awkwardly.
“The payment! The payment!” The children repeated, waving the paper in their hands happily.
Sandy and Jane looked at each other strangely. With a smile, Mrs. Brown handed Sandy a large sealed(密封的)envelope so full that it was almost starting to break open. The girls said goodbye and left quickly. “I wonder,” Sandy murmured, “whether Mrs. Brown can afford to pay for that food.”

【答案】One possible version:
Worried, the two girls discussed what was in the envelope as they walked back. Tapping her chin, Sandy murmured, “If it’s money, that’s a great deal! If it’s not, what could it be ” Jane, lost in thought, didn’t reply at once. She placed her palms on envelope, reflected on the family and suddenly she claimed, “Paintings! It must be the girls’ paintings! After she explained to Sandy, they arrived at the old lady’s. Awkwardly, Jane handed the lady the envelope with trembling hands.
The lady opened the envelope, took out a pile of papers and smiled. On the papers were colorful drawings from the children. At this scene, Sandy and Jane looked at each other and smiled. Then, the girls gained their payment- a full basket of ripe jobos. For them, it turned out that their errand not only gained them their favorite fruit, but also a sweet taste of getting payment by their hard work. When they took a bite, the juice was as sweet as the feeling inside their heart.
