Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you’re able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother’s attention and be fed.
Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That’s why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don’t usually like.
Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that’s been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it’s been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it!
1.What can be learned about cats’ meowing from the first paragraph
A. It’s a survival skill. B. It’s taught by mother cats.
C. It’s hard to interpret. D. It’s getting louder with age.
2.How does a pet cat assess different situations
A. By listening for sounds. B. By touching familiar objects.
C. By checking on smells. D. By communicating with other cats.
3.Which best explains the phrase “take ... up a notch” in paragraph 3
A. Perform appropriately. B. Move faster.
C. Act strangely. D. Do better.
4.What is a suitable title for the text
A. Tips on Finding a Smart Cat B. Understanding Your Cat’s Behavior
C. Have Fun with Your Cat D. How to Keep Your Cat Healthy

本文介绍了猫的生活习性,它们的叫声特别,能与人类交流,嗅觉敏锐,能识别主人,许多猫会将在外面找到的物品带给主人表达爱意。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows ... a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food”“Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat ... be fed”可知,猫用喵喵叫和人对话。如果一只宠物猫饿了,它会不停地喵喵叫以吸引注意力并找到食物。喵喵叫从小猫一出生就开始了,小猫用它来吸引猫妈妈的注意并被喂食。由此可知,喵喵叫是猫的生存技能。故选A。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段的“They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger ... looking for familiar smells”可知,猫用鼻子评估环境并留心任何危险迹象。它们能够区分不同环境的另一种方法是寻找熟悉的气味。由此可推断,猫通过检查气味来评估不同的环境。故选C。
3.D 词句猜测题。画线短语前提到狗以其令人印象深刻的取物习惯而闻名,下文介绍了猫的行为,它们会将在外面找到的物品带到主人身边以表达它们的爱意,故画线短语表明猫将这种行为提升了一个档次,它们在取物方面做得更好。D项可以解释画线短语含义。
4.B 标题归纳题。阅读文章可知,第一段介绍了猫的惊人的发声技能,第二段介绍了猫的嗅觉敏锐,能够区分不同的环境,第三段介绍了猫的令人印象深刻的取物习惯,这些都属于对猫的行为的介绍。B项“理解猫的行为”概括了文章内容,适合作标题。
完形填空
作者作为见证者,记录了一次养蜂人爬到树上徒手采蜜的独特场景。
1.D 根据下文内容可知,作者见证了蜂蜜丰收的全过程,故选D。witness “见证,目击,当场看到”。
2.C 根据下文中的“Ziyad got close to the hive which was around 20 metres above the ground”和“Ziyad escaped from the tree”可知,养蜂人Ziyad爬到了离地面约20米的高处,故可知蜂箱应该在树顶,故选C。courtyard “庭院,院子”; field “田,地,领域”; cave “山洞”。
3.B 由下文内容可知Ziyad要爬到距离地面约20米的树顶采蜂蜜,结合下文的“kept attacking as Ziyad escaped from the tree”可知,这个行为时常是危险的,故选B。urgent “紧急的”; pointless “无意义的”。
4.C 由下文内容可知,作者目睹了Ziyad采蜜的过程,故作者跟着养蜂人Ziyad经过草地并进入茂密的丛林去收获蜂蜜,故选C。search “搜寻”; recognise “认出”。
5.A 根据下文的“wrapped them with string, and 6 the bunch to create a torch (火把)”可知,Ziyad将一把把潮湿的树叶收集起来,再用绳子绑成一束做成火把,故选A。
6.B 结合上题解析及下文的“blew smoke from his torch into a tiny hole in the hive”可知,Ziyad点燃了树叶做成的火把,还把烟吹进了蜂箱里的小洞中,故选B。shake “摇动”; light “点燃”; measure “测量”; decorate “装饰”。
7.D 结合下文内容可知,Ziyad爬到离地面约20米的树顶;再由上文的“with one end of a rope ... trunk of a tree”可知,Ziyad已经做好开始爬树的准备了,故选D。
8.C 根据上题解析可知,Ziyad是绑着绳子沿着树干向上爬的,因此他每隔几分钟停一下拉一下绳子以方便继续往上爬,故选C。
9.A 由空后的“Ziyad got close to the hive”可知,最终,Ziyad到达树顶了,故选A。naturally “自然地”; immediately “立即,马上”。
10.D 由上文可知,收获蜂蜜是一个艰难且危险的工作,而且是在离地面约20米的树顶上作业,因此Ziyad应该是小心翼翼地朝着蜂箱缓慢移动,故选D。inch “(使朝某方向)谨慎移动”。back “支持;(使)后退”。
11.C 由空后的“was back on the ground”可知,Ziyad从树上滑到地面上了,故选C。cut off “切掉”; go up “向上去”; slide down “滑下来”;hold onto “抓紧”。
12.B 由下文的“A cool summer ... still in the honeycombs (蜂巢)”可知,幼蜂还在蜂巢里,没有出去采蜜,因此那时还不是收获蜂蜜的时候,故选B。
13.A 结合空前、空后内容可知,现在收获蜂蜜太早了,幼蜂还没长到足够大出去采蜜,因此可推测是气候原因延迟了蜜蜂的孵化,故选A。hatch “孵化”; train “训练”; sow “播种”; trade “做买卖”。
14.D 由上文的“Suddenly, Ziyad let out a sharp cry”及语境可知,Ziyad把火把的烟吹到蜂巢里的小洞中这个行为惹恼了成年的蜜蜂,因此成年蜜蜂一直在攻击他,故选D。curious “好奇的”。
15.A 根据第13题的解析可知,现在不是收获蜂蜜的时机,还需等待一个合适的时候,故选A。equipment “设备”; order “订单,命令”。
