15.I've been told that in China,having a pet,particularly a dog,is often considered to be a status(地位)symbol because it shows the family can afford to have an animal.It's very different here.
In Canada it's common to have pets.Many people have dogs;many others have cats,fish,birds or rabbits.Some keep what we call exotic(奇異的)pets,although keeping exotic animals is difficult,and because it can also be hard on the animals,the keeping of some exotic animals is not allowed by law.Some people do it anyway.
I like animals.As far back as I can remember my family has always had cats.Our cats.of course,wanted to go outside and it seemed reasonable to let them wander the neighborhood finding birds to run after,trees to climb and sunny places to sleep.As we always lived in a city,however,there was a problem.I remember more than once losing a cat that was killed by a car and it was heartbreaking.
Now,my wife and I lived in a small town.We no longer have a house-we live in an apartment(公寓).We have a cat named Callie and she never goes out except onto the halcony(陽(yáng)臺(tái))so cars are no longer a problem.She's about sixteen years old and will probably live to be twenty or more.The trouble will come when she dies.We've had a pet for so long that it seems like a natural part of our lives and without a cat around the  room it will seem somehow empty.On the other hand,we're getting older and,given that a cat can live about twenty years we wonder if we'll ever have another after Callie goes.
Having a pet is very good for a number of reasons.It helps to teach children how to look after a living creature,makes them realize that animals have feelings just like we do and that,in many ways,we depend on each other.For older people like me an animal is a companion(伙伴)and a comfort to have around.A pet,properly treated,returns the favor by giving back unconditional love.Wouldn't this world be a great place if people could learn how to do that!

64.The writer keeps a cat as a pet now becauseB.
A.she feels lonely living in the countryside
B.it acts as her companion
C.her family is used to keeping a cat
D.it can helps her teach her children.
65.What will happen after the writer's pet,Callie dies?C
A.She will surely buy another one.     
B.She won't keep pets any longer.
C.She will remember it for a long time. 
D.Her room will be empty.
66.What should people do in keeping a pet according to the text?A
A.Not allow it to go out of the room.   
B.Catch birds for him to play with.
C.Let it wander outside as it likes.     
D.Not live in the city.
67.What can be the best title for the passage?D
A.How to keep a pet.                B.My pet,Callie.
C.Keeping Pets in Canada.           D.It's the Animal in Me.

分析 本文屬于記敘文閱讀,作者通過(guò)這篇文章向我們介紹了在中國(guó)人們通常養(yǎng)狗作為寵物,但是在加拿大人們除了養(yǎng)狗,還會(huì)養(yǎng)貓、魚、鳥或兔子,作者的家中一直養(yǎng)著貓,作者認(rèn)為貓是他的伙伴,并詳細(xì)介紹了他養(yǎng)的一只名為Callie的貓.

66.A   細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)第四段We have a cat named Callie and she never goes out except onto the halcony(陽(yáng)臺(tái))so cars are no longer a problem.可知養(yǎng)寵物的時(shí)候不讓它們出門這樣可以避免它們意外死亡,故選A.

7.The drug store was closing for the night.Young Alfred Higgins,the stop-assistant,was ready to go home.Mr.Carr,the boss,stared at him and said:"Hold on,Alfred.Maybe you'd be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go."Alfred's face got red.After a little hesitation,he took out what he had stolen.Mr.Carr said,"Maybe I should call your mother and let her know I'm going to have to put you in prison."
Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in,eyes burning with anger.But,to his surprise,she arrived wearing a smile."Hello,I'm Alfred's mother.Is he in trouble?"she said.Mr.Carr was surprised,too.He had expected Alfred's mother to come in nervously,shaking with fear,asking with wet eyes for a mercy for her son.But no,she was most calm,quiet and pleasant and was making Mr.Carr feel guilty….Soon Mr.Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying."Of course",he said,"I don't want to be cruel.You are right.Sometimes,a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life and it often takes the youths long time to get sense into their heads."And he warmly shook Mrs.Higgins's hand.
Back home,without even looking at Alfred,she said,"You are a bad luck.It is one thing after another,always has been.Why do you stand there so stupidly?Go to bed."In his bedroom,Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen.There was no shame in him,just pride in  his mother's strength.He felt he must tell her how great she was.As he got to the kitchen,he saw his mother drinking a cup of tea.He was shocked by what he saw.His mother's face was a frightened,broken one.It was not the same cool,bright face he saw earlier in the drug store.As she lifted the tea cup,her hand shook.And some of the tea splashed on the table.Her lips moved nervously.She looked very old.He watched his mother without making a sound.The picture of his mother made him want to cry.He felt his youth coming to an end.He saw all the troubles he brought his mother in her shaking hand and the deep lines of worry in her grey face.It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.

56.The reason why Mr.Carr felt guilty was thatA.
A.Alfred's mother appeared polite and gentle
B.he should have called a policeman in first
C.he found Alfred was in fact innocent
D.he thought he was partly responsible for it
57.Which of the following is probably said by Mrs.Higgins while talking to Mr.Carr?A
A."You know,it takes time for a youth to truly grow up."
B."I can't believe it!You are treating my son like that!"
C."Please,for God's sake,you know,he is just a kid."
D."Punishment makes sense because it teaches about the law."
58.What does the underlined phrase"his mother's strength"(Para.3)refer to?B
A.Mrs.Higgins's attitude towards parental sufferings.
B.Mrs.Higgins's calmness and communicating skills.
C.Mrs.Higgins's love and care for her son Alfred.
D.Mrs.Higgins's greatness as a woman.
59.After the incident,young Alfred would probablyC.
A.feel ashamed of her mother            B.learn to live an independent life
C.change his attitudes towards life     D.hate Mr.Carr for hurting her mother.
