They say that cats have nine lives but our lazy old cat,PJ,had concurrent(并存的)lives and identities. He became well-known for sleeping around the neighbourhood and used to nap in the spare bedroom of elderly couple who lived three doors up from us.While I wasn’t always aware of all his liaisons, it didn’t matter as long as he always came home at mealtimes.
One day we noticed he had gained weight. We guessed he was enjoying snacks at the local takeaway shop bins and so we began to reduce the amount of his food. He didn’t seem to notice.
Some months later. we invited some new neighbours in for drinks. Not long into the evening, our new neighbor saw PJ sitting proudly on the window ledge. “You’ve got my cat!” She exclaimed, laughing.
We let her down gently, and learnt that at their house, PJ was known as Tiger. Thanks to them, he’d been receiving the royal treatment, including removing small insects from his body by spraying medicine. PJ continued living with us until a new cat and a new dog finally tested his patience. He walked out and was missing for ten days before my husband spotted him near his work. He brought our wandering cat home, but it was clear that PJ wasn’t happy. After shouting at him angrily, I let him out and he never returned.
A few months later, our new neighbour told us she’d seen PJ. It seems that an elderly neighbour had welcomed him into her home, and since taking up residence he’d doubled in size and been given his own sitting – room chair to lie. The two had become very fond of each other, ever since he’d followed her home. What a smart cat.
【小題1】By exclaiming “You’ve got my cat,” the neighbour implied that           .

A．she admitted the eat belonged to that author
B．the author had stolen the lovely eat PJ
C．she was surprised at seeing the cat there
D．she was very angry with the author
【小題2】What does the underlined word “He” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?
A．The cat PJB．the author’s husband
C．a(chǎn) new neighbourD．a(chǎn) neighbour’s husband
【小題3】It can be inferred from the passage that           .
A．the cat had visited all the neighbours before leaving
B．the author found the cat had gained some weight
C．The author couldn’t provide the cat with medical care
D．the neighbours loved the cat PJ very much


【小題1】C
【小題2】A
【小題3】D

解析試題分析：人說(shuō)貓有九命，但是我們家的老懶貓PJ可是以不同的身份住在多家。他喜歡到鄰居家睡覺，我們沒在意，他不怎么吃飯了，我們也沒多想。 后來(lái)發(fā)現(xiàn)貓?jiān)卩従蛹液苁軐檺�。�?dāng)它發(fā)現(xiàn)自己不受歡迎時(shí)，于是毅然離開并另覓新主，還過(guò)得很愜意。
【小題1】推理判斷題。第四段的第一、二句和全文，PJ在鄰居家被照顧的很好還有個(gè)名字tiger，當(dāng)鄰居在我家看到PJ時(shí)，自然很驚訝。由此判斷選C。
【小題2】詞意猜測(cè)題。畫線詞后的句子意為：他走出去然后十天后在我丈夫工作的地方發(fā)現(xiàn)了他。據(jù)此判斷，he 指的是貓，選A。
【小題3】推理判斷題。全文介紹了我家的貓得到了鄰居的照顧。包括喂食、去掉身上的蟲子到最后和一位老鄰居相依為命。所以選D。

It is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere. 
How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them. 
Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.
Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.

Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers, whistling and clapping.
It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement.
Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown(方帽長(zhǎng)袍).
Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(對(duì)美國(guó)的忠孝宣誓).
Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.
To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.
A new page in the book of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.
【小題1】What’s the article mainly about?

A．An American high school’s graduation ceremony.

A．b-c-a-d-e B．c-d-b-e-a C．d-b-e-a-c D．e-d-c-b-a

Looking back on my childhood. I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them , I had no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
　　Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door .but I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.
　　I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle，because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
　　But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made .A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.

【小題4】The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because_____.

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external（外部的） result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language--- all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they go through new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to be faced with the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow.
These feelings of insecurity and self – doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.
【小題1】A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when______..

A．he has given up his smoking habit
B．he has made great efforts in his work
C．he is interested in making anything new
D．he has tried to determine where he is on his journey
【小題2】In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would______.
A．judge his ability to grow from his own achievements
B．succeed in climbing up the social ladder
C．face difficulties and take up challenges
D．a(chǎn)im high and reach his goal each time
【小題3】When the author says “a new way of being” (para. 3), he is referring to _____.
A．a(chǎn) new way of taking risks
B．a(chǎn) new approach to experiencing the world
C．a(chǎn) new system of adapting to change
D．a(chǎn) new method of finding ourselves
【小題4】For personal growth, the author may not support __________.
A．curiosity and more chances
B．being quick in self – adaptation
C．open – minded to new experiences
D．a(chǎn)voidance of internal fears and doubts

Bad behavior is something that most people don’t want to tolerate. However, we have had to tolerate it more and more with each passing year. There seems to be no concern for other people’s feelings; nor do we seem to care about other people’s property. We live in an age where saying what is on our minds has priority over any harm that it might do.
There are ways to deal with bad behavior in modern times, though. Too many of us let bad behavior go because we don’t want to rock the boat. This is the time that you should rock the boat and rock it hard. Let people know that you expect it to change. That is the key to dealing with bad behavior. If it continues, take the proper action for the situation you are in. If you have developed the habit of bad behavior, take a hard look at it and then change it. You can’t expect others to behave well if you aren’t willing to look at your own bad behavior and change it.
If you don’t have control over anything in a situation, just walk away from it and move on to something that you do have control over. You needn’t feel ashamed of that. Besides, you must stand firm in what you believe. You can’t control what other people do, but you can control what you do about it. You can’t go wrong if you stand firm in what you believe. Understanding your responsibility is also important. Don’t try to take on the responsibility for other people’s behavior. Take care of what you have to and do it in the way you know it should be done. The rest will take care of itself.
Bad behavior is on the rise with more and more people behaving badly without having to pay any consequences. Worry about how you behave rather than how others behave. Pretty soon, it just may catch on.
【小題1】It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that _____________.

A．bad behavior is common today
B．bad behavior is sure to hurt people deeply
C．people behave badly because of carelessness
D．people are more understanding than before
【小題2】When dealing with people’s bad behavior, you are advised to ____________.
A．fight it bravely whenever it happens
B．ignore it if it is beyond your control
C．let it go to avoid trouble
D．make people feel ashamed of their bad behavior
【小題3】Why do many people behave badly according to the passage?
A．Because bad behavior is often ignored.
B．Because people are often influenced by others.
C．Because people aren’t punished for their bad behavior.
D．Because people haven’t realized its consequences.

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.
Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.
For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鷹), the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied(繁殖) quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.
【小題1】Why do people kill animals?

A．They kill animals for something they need.
B．They kill animals to raise some money.
C．Animals destroy their natural resources.
D．Animals create many problems.
【小題2】Animals are important to us mainly because ______.
A．they give us a source of food
B．they are beautiful and lovely

A．People care much about animals because they need them.

It's common for parents to feel emotional when the moment comes for their child to leave home and go to university. Even parents who don't speak about the event are likely to feel a sense of sadness because it’s the end of an era where you and your family were at the centre of your child's world. As a parent you’ll probably continue to support your child in different ways, but the main job of raising your child is over. It's a huge change for everyone involved.
There are a few things that you can do to make the transition easier. Plan carefully for your child's departure and think about how you can help. Many parents take their child to university for the first time. If you decide to do that, be ready to feel a real wrench when the time comes to say goodbye. Your child will probably be as nervous as you are about the moment when you finally say goodbye – but that might not show!
Be positive and cheerful about the choice your child has made to continue studying, and plan to leave once you've unpacked the car and looked around your child's new living accommodations. If you can, save your tears for the car – you'll make things easier on your child and yourself.
The more you've invested in being a parent, the more you'll feel a sense of loss, so the sadness you feel now is a sign that you've been a good mom or dad. Remind yourself that parenting is all about raising an independent and confident child who functions well without you. If your child quickly settles and starts enjoying himself, you should congratulate yourself.
It's also only fair to allow yourself some time to grieve(悲痛). Don't expect to pick yourself up and move on straight away. But you may decide to find a hobby or sport to fill your extra time. Perhaps you've always wanted to learn a new language, go to yoga classes or take up swimming. You may decide to spend more time with family and close friends, who are likely to be feeling the absence of your child as well.
Agree on the best approach to staying in touch before your child leaves, and stick to your agreement. Try not to panic if your child doesn't respond immediately – remember, they're starting a new and busy life.
【小題1】Why do parents feel sad when their child leaves home for college?

A．Because the absence of their child makes them feel lonely.
B．Because their children will start a new life in college.
C．Because it means the end of love between parents and their child.
D．Because they are no longer the main focus of their children’s life.
【小題2】The underlined word “wrench” in Paragraph 2 means a feeling of ________.
A．sorrow B．regret C．a(chǎn)nger D．love
【小題3】What does good parenting consist of?
A．Supporting your child in different ways all the time.
B．Congratulating yourself when your child goes to college.
C．Preparing your child to stand on their own feet in the future.
D．Investing as much as possible in the growth of your child.
【小題4】What’s NOT advised as the way to recover from your child’s departure?
A．Developing a new hobby or sport
B．Learning a new language.
C．Spending more time with close friends
D．Staying in touch with your child.
【小題5】What would be an appropriate title for the whole passage?
A．Staying in Touch with Your Child
B．Preparing to Say Goodbye to Your Child
C．Dealing with Your Child Leaving Home for University
D．Life after Your Child Has Left Home for University
