Four days after Dad’s 67th birthday, he had a heart attack. Luckily, he survived. But something inside him had died. His enthusiasm for life was gone. He refused to follow doctor’s orders, and his sour attitude made everyone upset when they visited him. Dad was left alone.
So I asked Dad to come to live with me on my small farm, hoping the fresh air would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated. Something had to be done.
One day I read an article which said when given dogs, depressed patients would be better off. So I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. As soon as I got there, a pointer’s eyes caught my attention. They watched me calmly.
A staff member said: “He got here two weeks ago and we’ve heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.”
I turned to the man in horror. “You mean you’re going to kill him”
“Ma’am,” he said gently. “We don’t have room for every unclaimed dog.”
The police’s calm brown eyes awaited my decision. “I’ll take him,” I said.
I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. I was helping it out of the car when Dad walked onto the front porch. “Look what I got you!” I said excitedly.
Dad wrinkled his face. “I don’t want it,” he muttered, turning back towards the house. Then, suddenly, the dog pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of my Dad.
Dad’s anger melted, and soon he was hugging the dog.
This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.
Dad’s bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne went on to make many friends. Then, late one night two years later, I felt Cheyenne’s cold nose burrowing (搜寻) through my bed covers. He had never before come into my bedroom at night. I ran into my father’s room and found that he had passed away.
Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad’s bed. As I buried him near their favorite stream, I silently thanked the dog for restoring Dad’s peace of mind.
4. After the author’s father survived the heart attack, he ______.
A. ignored everyone who visited him B. became unpleasant toward other people
C. was left alone to get full rest D. no longer wanted to live
5. Why did the author take the pointer home

B. Its eyes made her think it was the best dog available.
C. It was good at getting people’s attention and entertaining them.
D. It caught her attention right away and she didn’t want it to be killed.
6. From the last two paragraphs we can conclude that _______.
A. the author’s father and Cheyenne formed a real connection
B. friendship and care is much more efficient than the medicine
C. more attention should be given to old people
D. dogs are so loyal that they usually die for their friends
7. Which section of a newspaper is the source of the passage
A. Friends B. Entertainment C. Education D. Health
C
For six hundred years, the Tower of London’s most exotic (异域风情的) prisoners were animals.
The Menagerie (动物园) began as a result of kings exchanging rare and strange animals as gifts. In 1235, Henry III was delighted to be presented with three wildcats by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. These inspired him to start a zoo at the Tower. Henry’s ‘wildcats’, although described as leopards, were probably lions. These are the ancestors of the three lions that still appear on the England football team’s shirts today.
In 1252 the lions were joined by a white bear probably a polar bear — given by the King of Norway. In 1255, the King of France sent the first elephant ever seen in England and people flocked together to see the novel (新奇的) sight. Sadly, the elephant died two years later.
Poor treatment and cramped conditions meant many of the animals did not survive for long. But the Menagerie continued to grow. Edward I created a permanent new home for the Menagerie at the western entrance to the Tower in what became known as the Lion Tower. The terrifying sounds and smells of wild animals must have both impressed and scared visitors.
By 1622, the collection had been extended to include three eagles, two pumas, a tiger and a jackal, as well as lions and leopards, who were the main attractions.
However, the end of the Menagerie came in the 1830s. Campaigners had begun to raise concerns, and the animals were expensive, occasionally dangerous and a nuisance to the guardsmen. The Duke of Wellington sent 150 of the beasts to a new zoo in Regent’s Park, today’s London Zoo.
Despite Alfred Cops’s best efforts to carry on, several further incidents including an escaped wolf and a monkey that bit a guardsman’s leg convinced King William IV to shut down the Menagerie for good in 1835. The remaining animals were sold to zoos and travelling shows and the Lion Tower was later pulled down.
8. What do we know about the elephant presented in 1255
A. It caused big trouble. B. It received much attention.
C. It lived painfully in the Lion Tower. D. It died before the polar bear came in.
9. How many types of animals at the Menagerie are mentioned in the text
A. Eight. B. Nine. C. Ten. D. Eleven.
10. For what reason was the Menagerie closed at last
A. Security concerns. B. The decline of tourism.
C. Pressure from campaigners. D. Financial burden to raise the animals.
11. Which is the best title for the text
A. The Royal Menagerie B. Gifts Presented to the King
C. Tourist Attractions in London D. Miserable Life in the Lion Tower
D
Each year, Jon Aars, a senior researcher at the Norwegian Polar Institute and his colleagues capture around 70 polar bears in Svalbard and fit them with a tracking collar (颈圈) which continuously records movement. Once a day the collar makes a satellite call, sending the last 24 hours of data back to the Institute. “Data from movement has been very important to understand how they react and how they might respond to climate change,” Aars explains.
A warming climate means a vast amount of the region, and rising temperatures are also preventing seasonal ice which melts and recurs annually from forming in places it once did. Several seal species — polar bears’ main prey (猎物) — rely on sea ice, and more often than not, so do polar bears. But these creatures are being forced to move with the times.
“Because conditions change, polar bears will spend more time on land and look for different options,” Aars explains. “They hunt reindeer (驯鹿) and they will take more birds and eggs. We have seen that bears are in different areas from where they used to be—so much further north.”
According to NASA, summer ice in the Arctic is decreasing by more than each decade, and this year the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported the second lowest levels of summer sea ice ever recorded. The 14 lowest levels of sea ice have all occurred in the past 14 years, according to the NSIDC.
“You don’t find polar bears anywhere in the Arctic where you don’t have sea ice at least seasonally,” says Aars! “Changes are so significant and so fast: we will reach some stage in the future where it will get much harder to be a polar bear in Svalbard.”
12. Why does the collar make a satellite call daily
A. To obtain some information.
B. To offer necessary help to polar bears.
C. To see whether polar bears are still alive.
D. To know if polar bears are being attacked.
13. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. Why polar bears prefer birds. B. What has caused the changes.
C. Where polar bears can be found. D. How polar bears react to the changes.
14. What affects polar bears’ life the most
A. Freezing weather. B. Decreasing sea ice.
C. More and more seals. D. People’s hunting them.
15. What can we infer about the sea ice from paragraph 4
A. It has been staying the same in the past ten years.
B. It started decreasing less than a decade ago.
C. It is becoming less and less.
D. It is getting more and more.

Lisa woke up on Saturday morning very excited. Today she was turning 10. She thought her mother would make her a special breakfast. Last year on her birthday, Lisa woke up to the smell of pancakes and sausage cooking. The kitchen table was full of fresh fruit and juice, and her family had even bought lots of fresh flowers to put on the table.
But when she went downstairs this morning, her father, mother and brother were eating cereal at the table, just like any other day. No one even said “Happy birthday.”
When the phone rang and her mother announced that Lisa’s aunt wanted to speak with her, she knew that it must be to wish her the best on her 10th birthday. But to Lisa’s surprise, her aunt simply wanted to remind her to pick up her mail the next week while her aunt was out of town.
Lisa was quite confused. She thought that her family would say something about her special day, but she didn’t want to seem upset. She tried to be cheerful. After all, she was looking forward to meeting her friends in the park soon. Surely they were going to be excited about her birthday.
When Lisa arrived at the park, her friend Jane was the first to greet her. “Nice day, isn’t it, Lisa ” she asked.
Lisa, ready for her friend to wish her a happy birthday, responded excitedly, “Yes, it is! It’s a great day. You know why ”
“Because it’s Saturday and the weather is great!” Jane replied.
Lisa nodded, but looked down in disappointment.
Soon the rest of her friends arrived, and they all had a good time playing soccer and spending time together. But Lisa couldn’t help but think that it was strange that none of them had mentioned her birthday.
As she walked home in the late afternoon sun, Lisa tried her best not to cry. How could everyone forget her birthday She was close to tears by the time she reached her home.

Four days after Dad’s 67th birthday, he had a heart attack. Luckily, he survived. But something inside him had died. His enthusiasm for life was gone. He refused to follow doctor’s orders, and his sour attitude made everyone upset when they visited him. Dad was left alone.
So I asked Dad to come to live with me on my small farm, hoping the fresh air would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated. Something had to be done.
One day I read an article which said when given dogs, depressed patients would be better off. So I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. As soon as I got there, a pointer’s eyes caught my attention. They watched me calmly.
A staff member said: “He got here two weeks ago and we’ve heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.”
I turned to the man in horror. “You mean you’re going to kill him”
“Ma’am,” he said gently. “We don’t have room for every unclaimed dog.”
The police’s calm brown eyes awaited my decision. “I’ll take him,” I said.
I drove home with the dog on the front seat beside me. I was helping it out of the car when Dad walked onto the front porch. “Look what I got you!” I said excitedly.
Dad wrinkled his face. “I don’t want it,” he muttered, turning back towards the house. Then, suddenly, the dog pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of my Dad.
Dad’s anger melted, and soon he was hugging the dog.
This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.
Dad’s bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne went on to make many friends. Then, late one night two years later, I felt Cheyenne’s cold nose burrowing (搜寻) through my bed covers. He had never before come into my bedroom at night. I ran into my father’s room and found that he had passed away.
Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad’s bed. As I buried him near their favorite stream, I silently thanked the dog for restoring Dad’s peace of mind.
4. After the author’s father survived the heart attack, he ______.
A. ignored everyone who visited him B. became unpleasant toward other people
C. was left alone to get full rest D. no longer wanted to live
5. Why did the author take the pointer home

B. Its eyes made her think it was the best dog available.
C. It was good at getting people’s attention and entertaining them.
D. It caught her attention right away and she didn’t want it to be killed.
6. From the last two paragraphs we can conclude that _______.
A. the author’s father and Cheyenne formed a real connection
B. friendship and care is much more efficient than the medicine
C. more attention should be given to old people
D. dogs are so loyal that they usually die for their friends
7. Which section of a newspaper is the source of the passage

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“This was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the dog Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams.(这是一段热烈友谊的开始。爸爸给狗取名Cheyenne。他们一起在尘土飞扬的小路上散步，在小溪边休息，度过了很长时间)”结合讲述了对生活失去希望的父亲，被作者接到身边之后，在作者带回一只流浪狗以后，这个狗陪伴父亲度过了余生，作者很感激这只狗，陪伴了作者的父亲。可知，本文写了狗和父亲的友情，所以这会出现在朋友这个专栏上，故选A。

For six hundred years, the Tower of London’s most exotic (异域风情的) prisoners were animals.
The Menagerie (动物园) began as a result of kings exchanging rare and strange animals as gifts. In 1235, Henry III was delighted to be presented with three wildcats by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. These inspired him to start a zoo at the Tower. Henry’s ‘wildcats’, although described as leopards, were probably lions. These are the ancestors of the three lions that still appear on the England football team’s shirts today.
In 1252 the lions were joined by a white bear probably a polar bear — given by the King of Norway. In 1255, the King of France sent the first elephant ever seen in England and people flocked together to see the novel (新奇的) sight. Sadly, the elephant died two years later.
Poor treatment and cramped conditions meant many of the animals did not survive for long. But the Menagerie continued to grow. Edward I created a permanent new home for the Menagerie at the western entrance to the Tower in what became known as the Lion Tower. The terrifying sounds and smells of wild animals must have both impressed and scared visitors.
By 1622, the collection had been extended to include three eagles, two pumas, a tiger and a jackal, as well as lions and leopards, who were the main attractions.
However, the end of the Menagerie came in the 1830s. Campaigners had begun to raise concerns, and the animals were expensive, occasionally dangerous and a nuisance to the guardsmen. The Duke of Wellington sent 150 of the beasts to a new zoo in Regent’s Park, today’s London Zoo.
Despite Alfred Cops’s best efforts to carry on, several further incidents including an escaped wolf and a monkey that bit a guardsman’s leg convinced King William IV to shut down the Menagerie for good in 1835. The remaining animals were sold to zoos and travelling shows and the Lion Tower was later pulled down.
8. What do we know about the elephant presented in 1255
A. It caused big trouble. B. It received much attention.
C. It lived painfully in the Lion Tower. D. It died before the polar bear came in.
9. How many types of animals at the Menagerie are mentioned in the text
A. Eight. B. Nine. C. Ten. D. Eleven.
10. For what reason was the Menagerie closed at last
A. Security concerns. B. The decline of tourism.
C. Pressure from campaigners. D. Financial burden to raise the animals.
11. Which is the best title for the text
A. The Royal Menagerie B. Gifts Presented to the King
C. Tourist Attractions in London D. Miserable Life in the Lion Tower
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A

细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In 1235, Henry III was delighted to be presented with three wildcats by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II. These inspired him to start a zoo at the Tower. Henry’s ‘wildcats’, although described as leopards, were probably lions.(1235年，神圣罗马帝国皇帝腓特烈二世送给亨利三世三只野猫，亨利三世非常高兴。这激发了他在伦敦塔开办动物园的想法。亨利的“野猫”虽然被描述为豹子，但很可能是狮子)”，第三段中的“In 1252 the lions were joined by a white bear probably a polar bear — given by the King of Norway. In 1255, the King of France sent the first elephant ever seen in England and people flocked together to see the novel (新奇的) sight.(1252年，一只白熊加入了狮子的行列，可能是一只北极熊——是挪威国王送给狮子的。1255年，法国国王送去了人们在英国看到的第一只大象，人们成群结队地去看这一新奇的景象)”，第五段“By 1622, the collection had been extended to include three eagles, two pumas, a tiger and a jackal, as well as lions and leopards, who were the main attractions.(到1622年，收藏品已经扩展到包括三只鹰，两只美洲狮，一只老虎和一只胡狼，以及狮子和豹子，它们是主要的吸引力)”及最后一段中的“Despite Alfred Cops’s best efforts to carry on, several further incidents including an escaped wolf and a monkey that bit a guardsman’s leg convinced King William IV to shut down the Menagerie for good in 1835.(尽管阿尔弗雷德·科普斯尽了最大的努力，但随后发生的几起事件，包括一只逃跑的狼和一只咬伤一名警卫腿的猴子，迫使国王威廉四世在1835年永久关闭了动物园)”可知，文中提到了动物园里的狮子、大象、白熊、鹰、美洲狮、老虎、胡狼、豹子、狼和猴子，总计十种动物。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Despite Alfred Cops’s best efforts to carry on, several further incidents including an escaped wolf and a monkey that bit a guardsman’s leg convinced King William IV to shut down the Menagerie for good in 1835.(尽管阿尔弗雷德·科普斯尽了最大的努力，但随后发生的几起事件，包括一只逃跑的狼和一只咬伤一名警卫腿的猴子，迫使国王威廉四世在1835年永久关闭了动物园)”可推知，出于安全考虑，动物园最终关闭了。故选A。

D
Each year, Jon Aars, a senior researcher at the Norwegian Polar Institute and his colleagues capture around 70 polar bears in Svalbard and fit them with a tracking collar (颈圈) which continuously records movement. Once a day the collar makes a satellite call, sending the last 24 hours of data back to the Institute. “Data from movement has been very important to understand how they react and how they might respond to climate change,” Aars explains.
A warming climate means a vast amount of the region, and rising temperatures are also preventing seasonal ice which melts and recurs annually from forming in places it once did. Several seal species — polar bears’ main prey (猎物) — rely on sea ice, and more often than not, so do polar bears. But these creatures are being forced to move with the times.
“Because conditions change, polar bears will spend more time on land and look for different options,” Aars explains. “They hunt reindeer (驯鹿) and they will take more birds and eggs. We have seen that bears are in different areas from where they used to be—so much further north.”
According to NASA, summer ice in the Arctic is decreasing by more than each decade, and this year the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported the second lowest levels of summer sea ice ever recorded. The 14 lowest levels of sea ice have all occurred in the past 14 years, according to the NSIDC.
“You don’t find polar bears anywhere in the Arctic where you don’t have sea ice at least seasonally,” says Aars! “Changes are so significant and so fast: we will reach some stage in the future where it will get much harder to be a polar bear in Svalbard.”
12. Why does the collar make a satellite call daily
A. To obtain some information.
B. To offer necessary help to polar bears.
C. To see whether polar bears are still alive.
D. To know if polar bears are being attacked.
13. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A. Why polar bears prefer birds. B. What has caused the changes.
C. Where polar bears can be found. D. How polar bears react to the changes.
14. What affects polar bears’ life the most
A. Freezing weather. B. Decreasing sea ice.
C. More and more seals. D. People’s hunting them.
15. What can we infer about the sea ice from paragraph 4
A. It has been staying the same in the past ten years.
B. It started decreasing less than a decade ago.
C. It is becoming less and less.
D. It is getting more and more.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科学家在北极熊身上装跟踪项圈来收集数据，以了解气候变化对它们的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Each year, Jon Aars, a senior researcher at the Norwegian Polar Institute and his colleagues capture around 70 polar beans in Svalbard and fit them with a tracking collar (颈圈) which continuously records movement. Once a day the collar makes a satellite call, sending the last 24 hours of data back to the Institute. ‘Data from movement has been very important to understand how they react and how they might respond to climate change,’ Aars explains. (每年，挪威极地研究所的高级研究员Jon Aars和他的同事们都会在斯瓦尔巴群岛捕获大约70只北极熊，并给它们戴上跟踪颈圈，持续记录它们的活动。项圈每天都会进行一次卫星通话，把过去24小时的数据传回研究所。‘来自运动的数据对于了解它们如何反应以及它们如何应对气候变化非常重要，’Aars解释说。)”可知，颈圈持续记录北极熊的活动，颈圈每天都会进行一次卫星通话，把过去24小时的数据传回研究所，研究所通过项圈进行的卫星通话获得北极熊的运动轨迹与运动数据，而这些数据对于了解北极熊的反应以及如何应对气候变化非常重要；由此可知，项圈每天进行一次卫星通话是为了帮助研究所获得一些信息。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。由第三段“‘Because conditions change, polar bears will spend more time on land and look for different options,’ explains. ‘They hunt reindeer (驯鹿) and they will take more birds and eggs. We have seen that bears are in different areas from where they used to be—so much further north.’(‘由于环境变化，北极熊将在陆地上停留更多时间，寻找不同的选择。’Aars 解释说‘他们猎杀驯鹿，他们会猎杀更多的鸟和蛋。我们已经看到熊在不同于它们曾经生活的地方——更靠北的地方。’)可知，由于环境变化，北极熊在陆地上停留时间的时间更长以寻找不同的选择，他们会猎杀驯鹿、更多的鸟和蛋，在更靠北的地方生活；本段主要阐述了针对环境变化，北极熊在陆地停留时间、猎取的食物以及生活区域方面所做出的改变。由此可知，第三段主要告诉我们北极熊是如何应对变化的。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A warming climate means a vast amount of the region, and rising temperatures are also preventing seasonal ice which melts and recurs annually from forming in places it once did. Several seal species — polar bears’ main prey (猎物) — rely on sea ice, and more often than not, so do polar bears. But these creatures are being forced to move with the times.(气候变暖意味着该地区面积巨大，气温上升也阻止了每年都会融化并反复在曾经出现过的地方再次出现的季节性冰的形成。几种海豹物种——北极熊的主要猎物——依赖海冰，通常情况下北极熊也是如此。)”可知，北极熊以及其主要猎物几种海豹物种都依赖海冰，没有海冰海豹无法生存，北极熊也会缺少食物；由最后一段“‘You don’t find polar bears anywhere in the Arctic where you don’t have sea ice at least seasonally,’ says Aars! ‘Changes are so significant and so fast: we will reach some stage in the future where it will get much harder to be a polar bear in Svalbard.’(‘在北极任何一个至少季节性没有海冰的地方，你都找不到北极熊，’Aars! ‘变化如此之大，如此之快：我们将在未来的某个阶段，在斯瓦尔巴群岛作为一只北极熊会变得更加困难。’) ”可知在北极任何一个至少季节性没有海冰的地方，都没有北极熊；由此可知，海冰对北极熊非常重要，海冰减少对北极熊的生活影响最大。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“According to NASA, summer ice in the Arctic is decreasing by more than each decade, and this year the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reported the second lowest levels of summer sea ice ever recorded. The 14 lowest levels of sea ice have all occurred in the past 14 years, according to the NSIDC.(根据美国国家航空航天局数据，北极的夏季冰层每个十年都在减少，今年国家冰雪数据中心（NSIDC）报告的夏季海冰水平是有记录以来第二低的。根据NSIDC的数据，14个最低水平的海冰都发生在过去14年中。)”可知，北极的夏季冰层一直在减少，14个最低水平的海冰都发生在过去14年中，由此可推知，海冰在变得越来越少。故选C。
