Part 3 Reading and Writing
（第三部分 读写）（共24分）
VI. Reading comprehension （阅读理解）
A. Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案) (6分)
In many countries, pets are well loved. In America, 95 percent of pet owners think of their animals as family members. About half buy them birthday gifts. And it’s a two-way street. People who have pets tend to have lower blood pressure. They also have a lower heart-disease risk.
Scientists are finding more and more evidence that animals can also help improve mental health. Some clinics have been using “pet therapy”（宠物疗法）. Here is a look at some of the cures.
Rabbits
In one study, scientists told a group of stressed-out adults to pat a rabbit and a rabbit toy. The toy had no effect. Touching the living rabbit, however, reduced anxiety（焦虑）.
Crickets（蟋蟀）
Animals don’t have to be soft and lovely to help. In a 2016 study, elderly people who were given five crickets in a cage felt happier after eight weeks. The act of caring for an animal seemed to make the difference.
Horses
Horses are among the most-studied therapy animals. In Europe, they have been involved in medical treatment plans since the 1860s. Activities like brushing the fur of a horse have been shown to reduce anxiety in people of all ages.
Fish
One study focused on people who had Alzheimer’s disease（阿尔茨海默氏病）.When they dined in front of a tank of colorful fish, they ate more.
Dogs
Children who struggle with reading are less anxious when they read aloud to a trained dog. Their attitudes change and their skills improve.
( )60. About _______ of pet owners in America buy their pets birthday gifts.
A) one-third B) 50 percent C) 95 percent D) three quarters
( )61. The underlined phrase “two-way street” (in paragraph 1) means “________.”
A) Pets can reduce not only their owners’ blood pressure but also their risk of heart disease
B) Pets can improve not only their owners’ physical health but also their mental health
C) Pets are well loved both in the East and in the West
D) People love pets, and pets do their owners lots of good
( )62. According to the passage, people who were given crickets felt happier after a few weeks because ________.
A) they ate more B) they spent time caring for an animal
C) they exercised more D) they changed their attitudes
( )63. Horses have been involved in medical treatment plans ________ in Europe.
A) since the 1680s B) for more than two centuries
C) since 1860 D) for about 160 years
( )64. Children who have difficulty reading become less anxious when ________.
A) they play with rabbits B) they read in front of a tank of colorful fish
C) they are given some crickets D) they read aloud to a trained dog
( )65. The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A) pets are well loved in many countries
B) pets can improve people’s physical health
C) pets have been used to help cure mental illness
D) it is still a mystery whether keeping pets brings benefits

But his wife was not 66 and said, “ I hear that a great man doesn’t drink a thief’s water or 67 alms(施舍物).

He gave other boys some of the things he had from letting others paint the fence and got more tickets. Some were blue, some were red, and some were yellow. Finally, he had enough to get a new book.
That Sunday, the new girl came to Sunday school for the first time. Her parents came too, and the children learned that her father was a very important judge. The girl’s name was Becky Thatcher. The Sunday school teacher wanted to show Judge Thatcher that it was a good class. He asked if any of the boys or girls had enough tickets for a new book. Everybody was very surprised when Tom stood up. The Sunday school teacher was more surprised than anybody else. He counted the tickets. There were enough for a new book. He gave Tom the book, and Tom was allowed to sit with the important new people. Judge Thatcher said hello, but Tom could not speak. He was too nervous and thinking about Becky.
“What’s your name ” asked the judge.
