One night，Pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat Inti．Inti was meowing wildly outside Pilar's bedroom and throwing himself against the closed bedroom door．When Pilar opened her eyes，she saw that her bedroom was filled with smoke．As she escaped her house with Inti in her arms，she saw that a fire was burning in her kitchen．Pilar could easily have lost her life，but Inti would not let that happen．Even though Inti could have escaped the house through a cat door，he wouldn't leave Pilar．

As amazing as this story is，it is not as uncommon as you may think．Take the example of Charlotte Lee and her horse，Thunder．One summer night，the whole family was asleep with the windows open．It was normally very quiet where they lived．Suddenly，there was a loud noise．Charlotte woke up from her sweet dream，and the noise continued．Then she heard a horse running fast towards the house．The next thing she saw was Thunder standing outside her window，neighing(嘶叫)and shaking his head．She knew something was wrong．Charlotte quickly got everyone out of the house before the earthquake hit．Thunder has saved her life．
There are also stories of wild animals coming to the rescue of humans．One animal known to be a friend of humans is the dolphin．Once，Todd Endris was surfing with his friends when he was attacked by a 13-foot(4-meter) shark．In the middle of the attack，a group of dolphins came to his rescue by forming a protective ring around Endris until he could get safely to shore．Without the help of the dolphins，there is little chance that Todd could have escaped．
No one is sure why animals have so often come to our rescue．However，it is clear that humans and animals enjoy a close relationship．It is important that we care for them as much as we can．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是不同的动物救人的故事。这些故事告诉我们：动物和人类的关系很密切，我们应该尽可能多地关心它们。

B．He wanted to get out of the room．
C．He felt bored and was playing by himself．
D．He couldn't find the way out because of smoke．
√
A [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“One night，Pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat Inti．Inti was meowing wildly outside Pilar's bedroom and throwing himself against the closed bedroom door．”和下文“a fire was burning in her kitchen”可知，Inti用自己的身体撞门是为了唤醒自己的主人，因为厨房着火了。故A项正确。]
2．Before the earthquake hit，Charlotte ________．
A．closed the windows
B．was sleeping deeply
C．ran to warn her neighbors
D．got her horse out of the stable
B [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Take the example of Charlotte Lee and her horse，Thunder．One summer night，the whole family was asleep with the windows open．”可知，地震前Charlotte在熟睡。故B项正确。]
√
3．Both Inti and Thunder ________．
A．were shy and quiet
B．used to make noise at night
C．were brave and smart
D．saved their owners several times
√
C [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“One night，Pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat Inti...throwing himself against the closed bedroom door．”和第二段中的“Then she heard a horse running fast towards the house...Thunder has saved her life．”可知，Inti和Thunder都很勇敢和聪明，它们通过撞墙和嘶叫唤醒了处于危险中的主人。故C项正确。]
4．Which of the following is probably Todd's feeling towards the dolphins
A．Doubtful． B．Grateful．
C．Frightened． D．Bored．
B [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Without the help of the dolphins，there is little chance that Todd could have escaped．”可推知，Todd要感谢海豚。故B项正确。]

It was winter but people were everywhere in London at the weekend．They were in T-shirts or sandals(凉鞋)．Monday was another warm day，without a cloud in the sky，and in the late afternoon the light took on a magical，honey-coloured color．It brought to mind one of those summer evenings you experienced in childhood，when you'd be in the park all day and your parents let you stay out until bedtime，and you felt like you were doing something deliciously naughty just by being there．
It wasn't early summer: it was February．And the entire developed world has been attacking the global ecosystem(全球生态系统) for many years，and that's how we go into this pickle．
We should try to hold on to this fact that this is not supposed to be happening．Less than a month ago，there was a video of extreme(极端的)cold weather coming out of Chicago．Water poured from cups immediately froze on its way to the ground．OK，that was on the other side of the world，and its temperature was －11℃ then．
On Monday，though，the temperature hit 20.3℃ in Ceredigion，West Wales: the highest February temperature ever recorded in Britain and the first time the temperature had reached 20℃ in winter．
This isn't good，is it The ten hottest years on record have all happened within the past 20 years，the five hottest were the last five．Yet the beaches and the beer gardens fill up，while the papers describe the weather as wonderful．There were those who gave in to the heatwave a little too easily．They let themselves forget it was winter and found themselves，when the sun went down and the temperature dropped，suddenly shaking and unprepared for the cold．It feels uncomfortably like a symbol．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章认为，生态系统遭到破坏，导致全球变暖，从而出现极端天气。
5．What does the author want to do in the first paragraph
A．To introduce a beautiful summer．
B．To encourage kids to play outside．
C．To share his daily activities with us．
D．To describe the scene of a warm winter．
√
D [推理判断题。通读第一段可知，作者写第一段就是为了描述温暖的冬天的情景。]
6．What does the underlined word “pickle” in the second paragraph mean
A．Daily activity．
B．Unusual place．
C．Difficult situation．
D．Quick development．
C [词义猜测题。根据第二段中画线词所在句可知，生态系统遭到破坏，而生态系统遭到破坏会使人类陷入“困境”(difficult situation)。]
√
7．Why is Chicago's weather mentioned
A．To compare it with that of London．
B．To attract more people to Chicago．
C．To show it is well-known for an online video．
D．To encourage more people to post videos online．
√
A [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Less than a month ago，there was a video of extreme cold weather coming out of Chicago．”可知，芝加哥出现了极端寒冷天气。这和第一段中描述的伦敦“暖冬”形成鲜明的对比，以此突出生态系统遭到破坏所产生的后果。]
8．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．The author hoped people could/might stay indoors．
B．The author worries about global warming．
C．The papers misled the public in weather reports．
D．The papers asked the public to prepare for the cold．
√
B [推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者实际上是在表明全球生态系统遭到破坏，从而导致全球变暖、极端天气出现。这并不是一件好事，而是一种不好的征兆，由此可判断出作者对全球变暖很担心。]

Ⅰ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是不同的动物救人的故事。这些故事告诉我们：动物和人类的关系很密切，我们应该尽可能多地关心它们。
1．A [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“One night，Pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat Inti．Inti was meowing wildly outside Pilar's bedroom and throwing himself against the closed bedroom door．”和下文“a fire was burning in her kitchen”可知，Inti用自己的身体撞门是为了唤醒自己的主人，因为厨房着火了。故A项正确。]
2．B [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Take the example of Charlotte Lee and her horse，Thunder．One summer night，the whole family was asleep with the windows open．”可知，地震前Charlotte在熟睡。故B项正确。]
3．C [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“One night，Pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat Inti...throwing himself against the closed bedroom door．”和第二段中的“Then she heard a horse running fast towards the house...Thunder has saved her life．”可知，Inti和Thunder都很勇敢和聪明，它们通过撞墙和嘶叫唤醒了处于危险中的主人。故C项正确。]
4．B [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Without the help of the dolphins，there is little chance that Todd could have escaped．”可推知，Todd要感谢海豚。故B项正确。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。文章认为，生态系统遭到破坏，导致全球变暖，从而出现极端天气。
5．D [推理判断题。通读第一段可知，作者写第一段就是为了描述温暖的冬天的情景。]
6．C [词义猜测题。根据第二段中画线词所在句可知，生态系统遭到破坏，而生态系统遭到破坏会使人类陷入“困境”(difficult situation)。]
7．A [推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Less than a month ago，there was a video of extreme cold weather coming out of Chicago．”可知，芝加哥出现了极端寒冷天气。这和第一段中描述的伦敦“暖冬”形成鲜明的对比，以此突出生态系统遭到破坏所产生的后果。]
8．B [推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者实际上是在表明全球生态系统遭到破坏，从而导致全球变暖、极端天气出现。这并不是一件好事，而是一种不好的征兆，由此可判断出作者对全球变暖很担心。]
