My wife isn’t a cat person. So when our daughter Flora started asking for a cat several years ago, my wife politely refused her requests and we didn’t give it a second thought. Flora, though, shares some of my wife’s persistence, so she continued to ask for a cat repeatedly for several years.
Then a couple of things happened that made us take a closer look at things. When we went to Flora’s parent-teacher conferences, the teacher first handed us an essay about how my daughter wanted a cat, and then an imaginary story about where she would like to go on vacation: Catville.
It was then that my wife and I came to the realization that our daughter wasn’t just messing around here. And it was time for us to break down. But before we brought our new cat home, my wife sternly warned us that she was not going to be the one to take care of or clean up after the cat. Flora was going to take full responsibility. Fine, my daughter said.
We welcomed our mini family member into the house right around Christmas. We named her Goldy. When we got her, she peed everywhere. But other than that, she was perfect. My tough-talking wife gradually fell in love with Goldy. And Goldy fell in love with her. Of course, it’s not just my wife who loves Goldy. We all do.
There are so many things about that cat that absolutely brighten our life, highlighted by how she nearly bursts with affection when we come home or wake up in the morning. From the moment Goldy came into our house, it seemed unreasonable that we didn’t have a cat before then. We should have settled down to the decision much earlier.
24．What led the family to rethink about the idea of keeping a cat
A．The author’s promise. B．The teacher’s advice
C．The wife’s expectation. D．The daughter’s effort.
25．What does the underlined word “sternly” mean in Paragraph 3
A．Seriously. B．Defensively. C．Anxiously. D．Mildly.
26．What kind of person is the author’s wife
A．Inspiring and patient. B．Principled and kindhearted.
C．Ethical and traditional. D．Positive and professional.
27．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．A Healing Cat B．My Determined daughter
C．Best Decision Ever D．Family Means Everything
C
The official opening of Beijing Daxing International Airport caps a long design and building process. Designed by the late architect Zaha Hadid and her Chinese partners, the airport is built for the future, having a terminal the size of 97 soccer grounds—as well as customer-service robots that provide travelers with flight updates and airport information.
Called “Starfish” by Chinese media for its shape of five concourses（大厅） connected to a main hall, Daxing aims to reduce walking for passengers. The airport authority has promised a distance of no more than 600 meters—about eight minutes of walking—between security checkpoints and the remotest boarding gates.
This new modern airport employs a special intelligent lighting system, supported by eight big C--shaped columns that let in the sunlight, brightening the architecture and structure. There fore it minimizes the need to use electric lighting.
To offer a more refreshing travel experience, five outdoor courtyards—with the themes “Silk Garden”, “Tea Garden”, “Porcelain （瓷） Garden”, “Countryside Garden” and “Chinese Garden” —feature at the end of the five departure lounges for use by passengers waiting for their flights. Travelers will be scanned on cameras using facial recognition. Counters will be fully automated to capture face photos and relay them each part of the journey through the airport, including security and the departure gate.
China is projected to overtake the United States as the world’s biggest air travel market by 2022. The “modest” initial operational target at Daxing is to accommodate 72 million passengers and 2 million tons of goods annually by 2025. The ambitious master plan calls for the building of a total of seven runways, and moving at least 100 million passengers and 4 million tons of goods a year through the airport.
28．Why is the airport in a starfish-shaped design
A．To keep security checkpoints effective. B．To hold as many passengers as possible.
C．To make boarding gates within easy reach. D．To get the main hall easier to be found.
29．What can the airport’s lighting system be described as
A．Energy-saving. B．High-end.
C．Passenger-friendly. D．Strangely-formed.
30．What can be inferred about the five outdoor courtyards
A．They use popular techniques. B．They reflect the Chinese tradition.
C．They follow the latest world trend. D．They promote Chinese goods to people.
31．What do the numbers in the last paragraph indicate
A．The airport’s potential. B．The airport’s market.
C．The airport’s facilities. D．The airport’s project.
D
As a result of pollution, Lake Erie, on the borders of the USA and Canada, is now without any living things.
Pollution in water is not simply a matter of “poisons” killing large numbers of fish overnight. Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organisms（生物体） to be affected are either plants or plankton. But these organisms are the food of fish and birds and other creatures. When this food disappears, the fish and birds die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it’s not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the river’s edge or on the seashore that people realize what is happening.
Where do the substances which pollute the water come from There are two main sources—sewage （污水）and industrial waste. As more detergent（洗涤剂） is used in the home, so more of it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas. Detergents harm water birds, dissolving the natural substances which keep their feathers water-proof. Sewage itself, if not properly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need. Industrial waste is even more harmful as there are many highly poisonous things in it, such as copper and lead（铅）.
So, if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple: sewage and industrial waste must be made clear before flowing into the water. It may already be too late to save some rivers and lakes, but others can still be saved if the correct action is taken at once.
32．When do the people notice the pollution of water according to Paragraph 2
A．The first organisms are affected. B．A good many fish and birds die.
C．Poisonous things are poured into water. D．The balance of nature is destroyed.
33．Why do the living things die in the river according to Paragraph 3
A．There is no water. B．There is no fish.
C．There is no poison. D．There is no oxygen.
34．Which of the following is harmful according to the text
A．Organisms.
B．Plants and plankton in the water.
C．Waste water from cities.
D．Industrial waste made clear before flowing into the water.
35．Which of the following is the best way to stop water pollution
A．To realize the serious situation clearly.
B．To put oxygen into the river.
C．To make the waste material harmless before flowing into the water.
D．To make special room in the sea for our rubbish.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you want to improve your relationship with Mom or Dad, try listening to them, just like you would listen to a friend.
Now, it may seem kind of strange to treat your parents as if they were normal people and all, but it’s worth trying. We’re always saying to our parents, “ 36 ” But have you ever stopped to consider that maybe you don’t understand them
They have pressures, too, you know While you’re worrying about your friends and your upcoming history test, they’re worrying about their bosses and how they’re going to pay for your education. Like you, sometimes they get offended at work and go in the restroom to cry. 37 Your mom may have too much work stress to just sit down and relax at night. Your dad may get laughed at by the neighbours because of the car he drives. They may have unfulfilled dreams they’ve had to sacrifice so that you can reach yours. 38 They laugh, they cry, they get their feelings hurt, and they don’t always get their act together, just like me and you.
39 First, you’ll gain a greater respect for them. Second, if you take time to understand your parents, you’ll get your way much more often. If they feel that you understand them, they’ll be more willing to listen to you, they’ll be more flexible, and they’ll trust you more.
40 Start by asking them some questions. When’s the last time you asked your mom or dad, “How was your day today ” or “Tell me what you like and don’t like about your job” or “Is there anything I could do to help around the house ”
A．You don’t understand me.
B．Hey, parents are people, too.
C．It’s important to get on well with your parents.
D．So how can you better understand your parents
E．Jump into their shoes and think from their point of view.
F．They have days when they don’t know how they will pay the bills.
G．If you take time to listen to your parents, two wonderful things will happen.

The school picnic day was on Sunday, and on Saturday morning I decided to ask Mum some questions. As soon as Mum took the last bite of her toast, I decided I couldn’t wait for her any longer and asked, “Mum, where is Italy ”
My mum pushed up her glasses and looked at me with her head to one side. Then she said, “Italy is an European country which is very far away from here, my love. Why do you want to know that ” I shrugged（耸肩）, “That’s where Mike, the new boy in our class is from.”
She nodded and invited me to go to fetch the geography book. The book was big and Mum always kept the very big books on the bottom shelf of our bookcase. I watched as Mum flipped to the index and then to a page near the middle. “Here we go,” she said, turning the map around to show me. I let my finger meet hers where it said the word “Italy” in capital letters. According to the introduction to the country on the page, Mum helped me know more about the country.
“You know, Mum, Mike’s parents are extremely busy working in the downtown. He seldom eats regularly let alone（更不用说） have his native foods. I really want him to be very happy for his first picnic with us...” I paused and observed Mum, worried that Mum would think that it was silly and maybe a waste of money buying food only to give it away. But she didn’t. Instead, she said, “I think that’s a brilliant idea! Go and get ready, and we’ll head out on a big shopping.”

67．I got ready so quickly that morning that I thought I must have beaten a world record. In five minutes I had my trousers and T-shirt pulled on, and hurriedly emptied my piggy bank. With all the money I saved carefully put in my pocket, I rushed to meet my smiling Mum at the front gate. We went to stands of fresh fruits and vegetables, selecting some for making pizza. Proudly looking at the products, Mum and I drove back home in high spirits. I could picture the perfect pizza which my mother was expert in cooking and the new boy’s amazed face.
We gathered on the grass on Sunday morning and I saw the Italian boy immediately. I waved my hand to draw Mike’s attention. He looked around and finally made sure that he was my target. Shy and quiet, he approached me with a light-hearted pace. I patted the place beside me, gestured him to sit down and unpacked his native food. He hesitated at first but later focused his eyes on my sincere face and gave me a broad smile. What a beautiful day it was! We enjoyed the delicious pizza together and came to understand each other by sharing different experiences. No one would resist the sincere kindness.
