A
There
is
little
doubt
that
house
cat
first
developed
naturally
from
ancient
wild
cats.
The
cleverest
relative
is
the
America
wild
cat
which
still
lives
in
Africa
today.
This
is
understandable
because
the
first
house
cats
came
from
Africa.
???????
Cats
first
started
to
live
around
people
in
Egypt
about
6,000~7,000
years
ago.
From
Egypt,
cats
started
to
move
around
the
world.
This
is
about
the
same
time
that
Egyptians
began
storing
grain(谷物）in
buildings.
Scientists
used
to
believe
that
people
tamed
cats
to
catch
mice
and
protect
the
grain.
However,
cats
don’t
like
to
be
told
what
to
do!
Now,
scientists
believed
that
cats
followed
the
mice
and
learned
to
accept
people.
Finally,
some
of
the
cats
began
to
grow
comfortable
around
people,
these
were
smaller
cats
that
needed
protection.
As
these
cats
and
people
got
used
to
each
other,
then
they
moved
in
together.
Around
5,000
years
ago,
cats
started
to
live
with
people.
???????
Soon
cats
were
in
Greece,
then
the
Middle
East
and
China.
They
moved
along
Egyptian
business
roads
keeping
away
mice
and
keeping
people
around
them.
After
the
Romans
came
to
Egypt,
they
also
accepted
the
cats
and
brought
them
to
Europe.
These
cat
likely
bred(繁殖）
with
other
cats
to
form
the
many
kinds
of
house
cats
we
have
today.
??????
Cats
are
relatively
recent
house
animals.
House
cats
still
have
a
lot
in
common
with
their
wild
relatives.
Cats
sleep
a
lot
to
save
energy
just
like
wild
cats.
They
will
often
get
food
at
night
as
well.
House
cats
are
generally
peaceful
and
friendly,
but
be
careful!
If
a
cat
feels
it
is
in
danger,
it
will
fight
back―just
like
a
wild
cat.
11.
Where
did
the
first
house
cats
come
from?
??
A.
Asia.???????????
B.
Africa.???????????
C.
Europe.???????????
D.
America.
12.
When
did
cats
start
to
live
with
people?

A.
About
4,000
years
ago.????????????????
B.
About
5,000
years
ago.

About

In
order
to
master(掌握）a
foreign
language,
four
things
are
necessary.
Firstly,
we
must
be
able
to
understand
the
language
when
we
hear
it
spoken.
Secondly,
we
must
be
able
to
speak
it
carefully,
with
confidence
and
without
hesitation
(犹豫）.
Thirdly,
we
must
be
able
to
read
the
language.
And
fourthly，we
must
be
able
to
write
it.
We
must
be
able
to
make
sentences
that
are
grammatically
(合乎语法）correct.
We
must
know
how
to
put
sentences
into
paragraphs
in
order
to
write
a
good
letter
or
composition.
There
is
no
easy
way
to
succeed(成功）in
language
learning.
A
good
memory
is
a
great
help,
but
it
is
not
simple
enough
to
memorize
rules
from
a
grammar
book.
It
is
no
use
just
learning
by
heart
long
lists
of
words
and
their
meanings.
We
must
learn
words
not
by
themselves，but
in
sentences
.
We
must
learn
by
using
the
language.
“Learn
through
use”
is
a
good
piece
of
advice
for
those
who
are
studying
a
new
language.
Practice
is
very
important.
We
must
practice
speaking
and
writing
the
language
whenever
we
can.

four
things
are
necessary

七．短文改错（10分）
On
May
2001,
I
found
a
job
in
New
York
at
the
World
Trade
Center.
On
September
11,
2001,
I
arrived
at
my
building
at
around
8:30
a.m.
I
was
about
go
up
when
I
decided
to
get
a
coffee
first.
I
went
to
my
favorite
coffee
place
even
though
it
was
two
blocks
easten
from
my
office.
As
I
was
waiting
in
line
with
the
other
office
workers,
I
heard
a
loud
sound.
Before
I
could
join
the
others
outside
to
see
what
was
going
on,
the
first
plane
had
already
hit
my
office
building.
We
stared
in
disbelief
to
the
black
smoke
rising
above
the
burned
building.
I
felt
lucky
to
be
alive.
Almost
10
years
later,
I
woke
up
at
10:00
a.m.
on
February
21,
2011
and
realized
that
my
alarm
never
gone
off.
I
jumped
out
of
bed
and
went
straightly
to
the
airport.
But
by
the
time
I
got
to
the
airport,
my
plane
to
New
Zealand
had
already
taken
off.
“This
is
the
first
holiday
I’ve
taken
in
a
year,
and
now
I’ve
missed
my
plane.
What
a
bad
luck!”
I
thought
to
myself.
The
other
planes
were
full
so
I
had
to
wait
till
the
next
day.
The
next
morning,
I
heard
about
the
earthquake
in
New
Zealand
the
day
before.
My
bad
luck
had
unexpectedly
turned
into
a
good
thing.
