山东省烟台市蓬莱区（五四制）2023-2024学年九年级上学期期末考试模拟练习英语试题 一、阅读理解 Kindness goes a long way When I was in college, a white cat liked to occasionally show up on our campus. It was clear that he was a stray (流浪的) cat because he looked thin and weak. Students would play with him after class and feed him all kinds of food. The school didn’t say anything about the cat for a long time. But one day, we were told that one of our fellow students had an infectious (传染性的) disease and that the cat was possibly the source.
