A Florida pet owner threw her cat to the Humane Society of Broward County late last month because the cat, known as Jerry, was too affectionate and noisy, according to reports.
The society posted a video of Jerry on TikTok that started with a letter titled, “TOO AFFECTIONATE!”in all caps and in blue.
“Yup that’s the reason why my owner put me here,” the letter read.“She said that I annoyed her and how sweet, loving and affectionate I was. But it was too much for her. She said I waited at the door for her and talked too much. I loved her, but she didn’t love me back.”
“I’m hoping somebody will love me for who I am,”the letter ended and was signed, “Jerry.”
At the bottom of the letter, there was a P.S. that read, “I’ve been waiting a long time for a home,” with an unhappy face emoji.
The video was viewed 9.1 million times, as of Sunday evening, was liked 1.6 million times and had nearly 30,000 comments.
The TikTok video was put to the organization’s page on Jan. 26, and the next day there were four families waiting at the shelter in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, ready to meet the 4-year-old black and white domestic short haired cat.
“His new mom saw his video on our social media pages and was here first thing when we opened the next day,” an official from the society said on Sunday.
By 2:45 p.m, the society updated everyone who reached out from across the country, saying Jerry was adopted.
“Sweet and loving Jerry has found a sweet and loving forever home where he can be as affectionate as he wants,” the Humane Society said in a new post.“Thanks to all of the shares on social media, Jerry’s video was seen by just the right person, and she ran to the shelter first thing this morning to adopt him. We couldn’t have done this without you all.”
24. What do we know about Jerry from the passage
A. He annoyed his owner by waiting for a home.
B. He was a four-year-old cat with short black hair.
C. He was disliked by his old owner for his character.
D. He received little attention by writing a letter on line.
25. What do the numbers in paragraph 6 show
A. The wide concern on the video. B. The great challenges that Jerry met.
C. The anxiety of the Humane Society. D. The appreciation that the TikTok expressed.
26. How did Jerry’s new owner learn about him
A. Through posters from the Humane Society.
B. By seeing Jerry’s video on social media.
C. By seeing Jerry’s picture in a newspaper.
D. Through Jerry’s former owner’s introduction.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph of the article
A. Social media’s support had no effect on Jerry’s adoption.
B. Jerry was adopted, but there’s no mention of social media’s role.
C. The Humane Society expresses anger towards Jerry’s previous owner.
D. Jerry found a new home, and appreciation is expressed for social media support.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了社交媒体上一只叫做Jerry的猫被前主人抛弃又被新主人领养的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A Florida pet owner threw her cat to the Humane Society of Broward County late last month because the cat, known as Jerry, was too affectionate and noisy, according to reports.(据报道，上个月底，佛罗里达州的一位宠物主人把她的猫扔给了布劳沃德县人道协会，因为这只名叫杰瑞的猫太过深情，太吵了)”可知，Jerry老主人因为他的性格而不喜欢他。故选C项。
【25题详解】

【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Sweet and loving Jerry has found a sweet and loving forever home where he can be as affectionate as he wants,” the Humane Society said in a new post.“Thanks to all of the shares on social media, Jerry’s video was seen by just the right person, and she ran to the shelter first thing this morning to adopt him. We couldn’t have done this without you all.”(人道协会在一篇新帖子中说:“可爱的杰瑞找到了一个永远可爱又有爱的家，在那里他可以随心所欲地表达爱意。多亏了社交媒体上的所有分享，杰瑞的视频被合适的人看到了，她今天早上第一件事就是跑到收容所收养他。没有你们大家，我们不可能做到这一点。”)”可推知，杰瑞找到了一个新家，并对社交媒体的支持表示感谢。故选D项。

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language
In a recent Wall Street Journal article, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that, within ten years or so, we would be able to communicate with one another through small earpieces with built-in microphones. That’s because technological progress is extremely fast. It’s only a matter of time. Such is the belief among certain parents that the technology is imminent and they’re wondering if their kids should learn a second language.
It’s true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “Noes Bueno dormer mucho” into “It’s not good to sleep too much”. Replacing a word with its equivalent (对等词) in the target language is actually the easy part of a translator’s job. But even this seems to be a difficult job for computers.
It’s so hard for computers because translation doesn’t — or shouldn’t — involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it’s about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, people need to understand a lot of information all at once. Think about all the related clues that help us understand what someone is trying to say: volume, gesture, situations, and even your culture. All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.
Therefore, we should doubt a machine that can’t understand our world like we do. If people from different cultures can upset each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.
28. What does the underlined word “imminent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Ready. B. Confusing. C. Unpractical. D. Coming.
29. Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent
A. The real meaning of words can vary.
B. Their data is not rich enough.
C. Their accuracy needs big improvement.
D. A man’s soul hasn’t been breathed in them.
30. What view does the author hold about translation
A. Proper translation can be difficult for computers.
B. Slight differences doesn’t matter in translation.
C. Machines will translate our world properly.
D. Cultures need more attention than words used.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. An Expert’s Prediction. B. Travel without Headache.
C. The Pleasure of Translation. D. Will the Language Barrier (障碍) Actually Fall
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文属于议论文。本文叙述了不同语言转换的障碍与翻译之间的壁垒问题，进而讨论了通过现代科学技术，语言障碍能不能变小甚至消失的问题。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。由第二段“That’s because technological progress is extremely fast. It’s only a matter of time. Such is the belief among certain parents that the technology is imminent and they’re wondering if their kids should learn a second language. (这是因为技术进步非常快。这只是时间问题。这就是某些家长的信念，他们认为这项技术imminent，他们想知道自己的孩子是否应该学习第二语言)”可知，因为技术进步非常迅速，（新技术的）只是时间问题，新技术即将到来，家长才会想知道孩子是否应学习第二语言，可推断imminent意为“即将到来的（Coming）”。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中“It’s so hard for computers because translation doesn’t — or shouldn’t — involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it’s about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, people need to understand a lot of information all at once. (这对计算机来说太难了，因为翻译不——或者不应该——只涉及翻译单词、句子或段落。相反，它是关于翻译意义。为了从一个特定的表达中推断出意义，人们需要同时理解很多信息)”可知，翻译不仅仅是翻译单词、句子和段落，确切地说，它是有关意思的转换，为了推断一个具体短语的意思，人类不得不同时理解很多信息。故可推断出，对电脑来说找到一个词对等的意思很难是因为单词真正的意思是会随着语境的变化而变化的。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中“It’s so hard for computers because translation doesn’t — or shouldn’t — involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it’s about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, people need to understand a lot of information all at once. (这对计算机来说太难了，因为翻译不——或者不应该——只涉及翻译单词、句子或段落。相反，它是关于翻译意义。为了从一个特定的表达中推断出意义，人们需要同时理解很多信息)”和最后一段中“If people from different cultures can upset each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better (如果来自不同文化背景的人在意识不到的情况下彼此冒犯，我们怎么能期望机器做得更好呢？)”可知，单词真正的意思是会随着语境的变化而变化的，对于人来说要翻译准确恰当也是很难的，何况机器，可得出电脑很难进行正确的翻译。故选A项。
31题详解】
主旨大意题。结合文章内容，第一段“Wouldn’t it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language (去外国旅行而不必担心用不同语言交流的头痛，这不是很好吗？)”和最后一段中“Therefore, we should doubt a machine that can’t understand our world like we do. If people from different cultures can upset each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better (因此，我们应该怀疑一台不能像我们一样理解我们世界的机器。如果来自不同文化的人可以在没有意识到的情况下互相打扰，我们怎么能指望机器做得更好呢？)”可知，本文主要讨论了语言文化在翻译过程中的问题，由于翻译不仅仅是翻译单词、句子和段落，确切地说，它是有关意思的转换，单词真正的意思是会随着语境的变化而变化的，对于人类来说翻译恰当很困难，当然不能期望机器做得更好，所以文章主题是语言障碍会不会变小的问题，故D项“语言障碍真的会消失吗？”是恰当的标题。故选D项。

Scientists at the University of Chicago have discovered that a compound (化合物) in red meat, dairy and other products might help your body fight against cancer. The compound, known as trans-vaccenic acid or TVA, seems to activate the T cells in your body, which help your immune (免疫) system protect you from disease.
TVA is found in the meat of animals such as cows, sheep and other animals, and their dairy products like milk, cheese, butter and cream. The study also finds that cancer patients who have higher levels of TVA in their blood had a better response to immunotherapy (免疫疗法). That discovery suggested to the researchers that TVA might be useful during cancer treatment.
To see that a single nutrient like TVA is so magical to strengthen the immune, the researchers started the research with a database of around 700 known metabolites, which are small molecules (小分子) that come from food. They then selected the metabolites for their abilities against cancer. After the top six compounds were chosen, scientists analyse their cancer-fighting abilities in human and mouse cells — TVA performed the best in fighting the development of cancer.
“It’s very difficult to understand the link between diet and human health because of the wide variety of foods people eat,” Jing Chen, a cancer researcher at the University of Chicago said. “By focusing on nutrients that can activate T cell responses, we found one that actually strengthen anti-cancer immunity by activating an important immune pathway.”
But — to the disappointment of many — the study authors didn’t advise people to eat more red meat and dairy. “There is a growing body of evidence about the negative health effects of consuming too much red meat and dairy,” Chen added, “so this study shouldn’t be taken as an excuse to eat more cheeseburgers and pizza.”
“There is early data showing that other compounds from plants have the same cancer-fighting abilities, so we believe in the future there is a high possibility that nutrients from plants can do the same thing,” Chen said.
32. What role does TVA play in the body’s immune system
A. It prevents the function of immune cells.
B. It wakes up T cells to fight against diseases.
C. It increases the risk of cancer development.
D. It reduces the effect of immunotherapy.
33. In what way did scientists prove the effect of six compounds against cancer
A. They conducted surveys among cancer patients.
B. They did experiments on animals to measure the effect.
C. They analysed the taste and flavor of different compounds.
D. They tested the compounds’ abilities using human and mouse cells.
34. Which suggestion may come from the scientists in the study
A. Eat no red meat and milk.
B. Increase the intake of red meat and milk.
C. Take in suitable amount of red meat and milk.
D. Take cheeseburgers instead of red meat and milk.
35. What’s Chen’s attitude towards the future of their study on plants
A. Positive. B. Disappointed. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了科学家发现红肉、乳制品和其他产品中的一种化合物（反式-11-十八烯酸或TVA）可能有助于身体对抗癌症。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中“The compound, known as trans-vaccenic acid or TVA, seems to activate the T cells in your body, which help your immune (免疫) system protect you from disease. (这种化合物被称为反式-11-十八烯酸或TVA，似乎可以激活你体内的T细胞，帮助你的免疫系统保护你免受疾病的侵袭)”可知，TVA在人体免疫系统中的作用是它唤醒T细胞对抗疾病。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中“They then selected the metabolites for their abilities against cancer. After the top six compounds were chosen, scientists analyse their cancer-fighting abilities in human and mouse cells — TVA performed the best in fighting the development of cancer. (在选出前六种化合物后，科学家们分析了它们在人类和小鼠细胞中的抗癌能力——TVA在对抗癌症发展方面表现最好)”可知，科学家通过用人体和小鼠细胞测试了这些化合物的能力来证明六种化合物对癌症有疗效。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中Scientists at the University of Chicago have discovered that a compound (化合物) in red meat, dairy and other products might help your body fight against cancer. (芝加哥大学的科学家发现，红肉、乳制品和其他产品中的一种化合物可能有助于你的身体对抗癌症)”和倒数第二段中““There is early data showing that other compounds from plants have the same cancer-fighting abilities, so we believe in the future there is a high possibility that nutrients from plants can do the same thing,” Chen said. “There is a growing body of evidence about the negative health effects of consuming too much red meat and dairy,” Chen added (但是，令许多人失望的是，研究作者并没有建议人们多吃红肉和奶制品。陈补充道：“越来越多的证据表明，摄入过多的红肉和奶制品会对健康产生负面影响”)”可知，红肉、乳制品和其他产品中的一种化合物可能有助于你的身体对抗癌症，但不建议摄入过多；由此推知，科学家可能提出“摄入适量的红肉和牛奶”这样的意见。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。由最后第一段““There is early data showing that other compounds from plants have the same cancer-fighting abilities, so we believe in the future there is a high possibility that nutrients from plants can do the same thing,” Chen said. (陈说：“有早期数据表明，植物中的其他化合物也具有同样的抗癌能力，因此我们相信，未来植物中的营养物质也很有可能起到同样的作用。”)”可知，植物中的其他化合物也具有同样的抗癌能力，未来植物中的营养物质也很有可能起到同样抗癌作用；由此推知，陈对他们未来的植物研究持乐观态度。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章就如何成为一个好的假日派对客人提出了一些建议。
【36题详解】
由标题“Being a Good Holiday Party Guest (成为一个好的假日派对客人)”，各段小标题“Reply the invitation quickly. (快速回复邀请)”、“Offer help respectfully. (礼貌地提供帮助)”和“Don’t stay for long. (不要呆太久)”可知，文章就如何成为一个好的假日派对客人提出了一些建议，承接上文“But sometimes well-meaning “helpers” can sometimes cause more trouble and stress for a host. (但有时善意的“帮手”有时会给主人带来更多的麻烦和压力)”讲善意的“帮手”有时会给主人带来麻烦，可知E选项“以下是一些技巧，可以确保你给人留下好印象。”引出下文关于如何成为一个好的假日派对客人的一些建议，给主人留下好印象。故选E项。
【37题详解】
由小标题“Reply the invitation quickly. (快速回复邀请)”和下文“If the invitation (whether it comes in the mail, over email or through text) asks you to reply, do so well before the host has to reach out to confirm your participation. (如果邀请（无论是邮件、电子邮件还是短信）要求您回复，请在主人确认您的参与之前做好回复)”可知，作者建议在聚会开始前，通过快速回复主人的邀请，来成为一个好的假日派对客人，D选项“成为好客人早在聚会开始之前就开始了。”切合语境。故选D项。
【38题详解】
该空选取小标题，需总结下文。由下文“Respect the event’s start time and arrive within 10-15 minutes of the time on the invite. If the invitation says 7:15 p.m., guests should arrive between 7:25 and 7:30. If you turn up early, the hosts may not yet be dressed or be trying to take a 10-minute break after last-minute preparations. (尊重活动的开始时间，并在收到邀请后的10-15分钟内到达。如果邀请函上写着晚上7点15分，客人应该在7点25分至7点30分之间到达。如果你来得早，主人可能还没有穿好衣服，或者在最后一刻的准备后试图休息10分钟)”可知，作者建议参加聚会时，不要太早出现，通过这样做来成为一个好的假日派对客人，A选项“不要太早出现。”切合语境。故选A项。
【39题详解】
由小标题“Offer help respectfully. (礼貌地提供帮助)”，上文“It’s fine to offer help during the event, but don’t insist. (在活动期间提供帮助是可以的，但不要坚持)”和下文“A true host wants their guests to enjoy themselves and not be working, so the insistence might make your host uncomfortable. (一个真正的主人希望他们的客人玩得开心，而不是工作，所以这种坚持可能会让你的主人感到不舒服)”可知，作者建议要想成为一个好的假日派对客人，你要礼貌地向主人提供帮助，主人想不想要帮助取决于他们自己，身为客人的自己不要强求，你的强求坚持会让主人感到不舒服，该空应该对“不要坚持向主人提供帮助”进行具体举例说明，C选项“如果主人拒绝你的帮助，请尊重他们的意愿。”切合语境。故选C项。
【40题详解】
由小标题“Don’t stay for long. (不要呆太久)”和下文“Watch out for clues that the hosts wish to end the evening’s enjoyment, like yawning, turning off the music, turning up the lights. (注意主人希望结束晚上的享受的线索，比如打哈欠、关掉音乐、开灯)”可知，作者建议要想成为一个好的假日派对客人，你不要呆太久，打哈欠、关掉音乐、开灯等都是聚会要结束的信号，F选项“它们可以暗示这次愉快的聚会即将结束。”切合语境，选项中“They”指代上文“yawning, turning off the music, turning up the lights”。故选F项。

A Florida pet owner threw her cat to the Humane Society of Broward County late last month because the cat, known as Jerry, was too affectionate and noisy, according to reports.
The society posted a video of Jerry on TikTok that started with a letter titled, “TOO AFFECTIONATE!”in all caps and in blue.
“Yup that’s the reason why my owner put me here,” the letter read.“She said that I annoyed her and how sweet, loving and affectionate I was. But it was too much for her. She said I waited at the door for her and talked too much. I loved her, but she didn’t love me back.”
“I’m hoping somebody will love me for who I am,”the letter ended and was signed, “Jerry.”
At the bottom of the letter, there was a P.S. that read, “I’ve been waiting a long time for a home,” with an unhappy face emoji.
The video was viewed 9.1 million times as of Sunday evening, was liked 1.6 million times and had nearly 30,000 comments.
The TikTok video was put to the organization’s page on Jan. 26, and the next day there were four families waiting at the shelter in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, ready to meet the 4-year-old black and white domestic short haired cat.
“His new mom saw his video on our social media pages and was here first thing when we opened the next day,” an official from the society said on Sunday.
By 2:45 p.m, the society updated everyone who reached out from across the country, saying Jerry was adopted.
“Sweet and loving Jerry has found a sweet and loving forever home where he can be as affectionate as he wants,” the Humane Society said in a new post.“Thanks to all of the shares on social media, Jerry’s video was seen by just the right person, and she ran to the shelter first thing this morning to adopt him. We couldn’t have done this without you all.”
24. What do we know about Jerry from the passage
A. He annoyed his owner by waiting for a home.
B. He was a four-year-old cat with short black hair.
C. He was disliked by his old owner for his character.
D. He received little attention by writing a letter on line.
25. What do the numbers in paragraph 6 show

C. The anxiety of the Humane Society. D. The appreciation that the TikTok expressed.
26. How did Jerry’s new owner learn about him
A. Through posters from the Humane Society.
B. By seeing Jerry’s video on social media.
C By seeing Jerry’s picture in a newspaper.
D. Through Jerry’s former owner’s introduction.
27. What can we infer from the last paragraph of the article
A. Social media’s support had no effect on Jerry’s adoption.
B. Jerry was adopted, but there’s no mention of social media’s role.
C. The Humane Society expresses anger towards Jerry’s previous owner.
D. Jerry found a new home, and appreciation is expressed for social media support.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language
In a recent Wall Street Journal article, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that, within ten years or so, we would be able to communicate with one another through small earpieces with built-in microphones. That’s because technological progress is extremely fast. It’s only a matter of time. Such is the belief among certain parents that the technology is imminent and they’re wondering if their kids should learn a second language.
It’s true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “Noes Bueno dormer mucho” into “It’s not good to sleep too much”. Replacing a word with its equivalent (对等词) in the target language is actually the easy part of a translator’s job. But even this seems to be a difficult job for computers.
It’s so hard for computers because translation doesn’t — or shouldn’t — involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it’s about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, people need to understand a lot of information all at once. Think about all the related clues that help us understand what someone is trying to say: volume, gesture, situations, and even your culture. All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.
Therefore, we should doubt a machine that can’t understand our world like we do. If people from different cultures can upset each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.
28. What does the underlined word “imminent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Ready. B. Confusing. C. Unpractical. D. Coming.
29. Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent
A. The real meaning of words can vary.
B. Their data is not rich enough.
C. Their accuracy needs big improvement.
D. A man’s soul hasn’t been breathed in them.
30. What view does the author hold about translation
A. Proper translation can be difficult for computers.
B. Slight differences doesn’t matter in translation.
C. Machines will translate our world properly.
D. Cultures need more attention than words used.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. An Expert’s Prediction. B. Travel without Headache.
C. The Pleasure of Translation. D. Will the Language Barrier (障碍) Actually Fall
D(原创)
Scientists at the University of Chicago have discovered that a compound (化合物) in red meat, dairy and other products might help your body fight against cancer. The compound, known as trans-vaccenic acid or TVA, seems to activate the T cells in your body, which help your immune (免疫) system protect you from disease.
TVA is found in the meat of animals such as cows, sheep and other animals, and their dairy products like milk, cheese, butter and cream. The study also finds that cancer patients who have higher levels of TVA in their blood had a better response to immunotherapy (免疫疗法). That discovery suggested to the researchers that TVA might be useful during cancer treatment.
To see that a single nutrient like TVA is so magical to strengthen the immune, the researchers started the research with a database of around 700 known metabolites, which are small molecules (小分子) that come from food. They then selected the metabolites for their abilities against cancer. After the top six compounds were chosen, scientists analyse their cancer-fighting abilities in human and mouse cells — TVA performed the best in fighting the development of cancer.
“It’s very difficult to understand the link between diet and human health because of the wide variety of foods people eat,” Jing Chen, a cancer researcher at the University of Chicago said. “By focusing on nutrients that can activate T cell responses, we found one that actually strengthen anti-cancer immunity by activating an important immune pathway.”
But — to the disappointment of many — the study authors didn’t advise people to eat more red meat and dairy. “There is a growing body of evidence about the negative health effects of consuming too much red meat and dairy,” Chen added, “so this study shouldn’t be taken as an excuse to eat more cheeseburgers and pizza.”
“There is early data showing that other compounds from plants have the same cancer-fighting abilities, so we believe in the future there is a high possibility that nutrients from plants can do the same thing,” Chen said.
32. What role does TVA play in the body’s immune system
A. It prevents the function of immune cells.
B. It wakes up T cells to fight against diseases.
C. It increases the risk of cancer development.
D. It reduces the effect of immunotherapy.
33. In what way did scientists prove the effect of six compounds against cancer
A. They conducted surveys among cancer patients.
B. They did experiments on animals to measure the effect.
C. They analysed the taste and flavor of different compounds.
D. They tested the compounds’ abilities using human and mouse cells.
34. Which suggestion may come from the scientists in the study
A. Eat no red meat and milk.
B. Increase the intake of red meat and milk.
C. Take in suitable amount of red meat and milk.
D. Take cheeseburgers instead of red meat and milk.
35. What’s Chen’s attitude towards the future of their study on plants
A. Positive. B. Disappointed. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
