They are pet-themed (宠物主题的) restaurants. In the restaurants, cats, dogs, ducks, rabbits or other animals walk in the dining area, and people can play with them while eating or having drinks. With so many pet lovers today, it isn’t surprising that such restaurants are now everywhere in Chinese cities. However, few people think about whether it is safe to enjoy their food in such an environment. In most of the pet-themed restaurants, many cats or dogs are allowed to walk freely in their living areas and even in the dining space. Even worse, animal hairs are everywhere, and had smell fills the restaurants. In one of the dog themed restaurants, the dogs fight, jump onto the dining table or even poop in the dining area. In October, there was a hearing about the business pattern of the pet-themed restaurants and their food safety in Guangzhou. Some people at the meeting talked about their concerns. They thought the animals in the pet-themed restaurants might carry parasites (寄生虫) and spread diseases, which were harmful (有害的) to people. Besides, although the animals are kept by the restaurants as pets, they may attack (攻击) people. As more pets are entering Chinese families, they have become an important part of people’s daily lives. The growing pet-themed restaurants have made people’s lives interesting and colorful. However, without rules and regulations, the restaurants can’t be good choices for people. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A．There are more pet lovers in China than in other countries.

C Ask people what they know about the Dead Sea and most will tell you that it’s impossible to sink (下沉) when you are swimming in it. But not everyone knows why. Kids News researched the Dead Sea and found some interesting facts. The Dead Sea is an inland lake 50 kilometers long by 15 kilometers wide in the Middle East between the west bank and Jordan. The Jordan River is the main source of the Dead Sea water. It is about 430 meters below sea level, the lowest point on the surface of the Earth. The water level has been dropping even lower for the past 60 or so years. It drops about 1 meter each year. It’s a popular place for people to have a holiday, partly because it’s in the desert, which means lots of hot, sunny days. It’s called the Dead Sea because it is full of salt. The Dead Sea water is perhaps 10 times as salty as open ocean seawater and nothing much can live in it. Exactly how sally it is changes through the depth (深度) of the lake and with how much water is flowing in (流入) from the Jordan River and how much water is evaporating (蒸发). The water of the Dead Sea is full of salt, which makes it much denser (密度更大) and heavier than freshwater. If you swim in it, you float (漂浮) very easily. 11．Which of the following is right? A．Few things can live in the Dead Sea. B．Few people go to the Dead Sea for a holiday. C．The Dead Sea is famous mainly for the hot weather. D．The Jordan River is about 430 meters below the sea level 12．What does the underlined word “source” mean in Chinese? A．资源 B．能源 C．来源 D．污染源 13．What is the best title for the passage? A．The water level of the Dead Sea is lower now B．Hot weather makes the Dead Sea much saltier C．The Dead Sea becomes saltier with less freshwater D．Why can’t people sink when they swim in the Dead Sea? 14. What is the main source of water for the Dead Sea? A. Mediterranean Sea B. Nile River C. Jordan River D. Atlantic Ocean 15. Why is the Dead Sea called the "Dead Sea"? A. Because it is located at the lowest point on Earth. B. Because it is very deep. C. Because its high salinity prevents most life forms from surviving in it. D. Because its water level is dropping every year. D Located in one of Beijing’s most active art communities, the “loneliness” museum is always crowded and busy, but everyone here says they are lonely. Divided into 13 sections including an office at night, the last subway, a hot pot restaurant and a hospital, the museum displays（陈列）over 1,000 lonely stories from different people, with words of encouragement and ways to deal with solitude written on the walls and the stairs. The national mental health index reduces with age in the teenage stage（12 to 18 years old）and gradually rises in adulthood（18 to 55 years old）, showing that people will experience a period of mental health downturn during their youth. Teens can have thousands of friends online and yet feel unsupported and lonely. Technology, including social media, could be speeding up social loneliness. “Empty-nest（空穴）” youths are those who live alone and usually work in cities. It’s possible that people get more used to loneliness as they get older, possibly through the experience of important life events and life changes. It is comforting that our society is also more tolerant（宽容的）and gentle towards this kind of youth group, often encouraging and supporting them to face up to this crazy changing world bravely. In a room of the museum, with three bicycles, strangers can ride at the same time to light up the bulbs on the wall, which forms a sentence— “loneliness comes together with love”. 16．You can visit the “loneliness “museum in _________. A．Shanghai B．Beijing C．many places D．big cities 17．According to the passage, the museum includes 13 sections EXCEPT _________. A．a hot pot restaurant B．a hospital C．the last subway D．a cafe 18．The underlined word “solitude” in Paragraph 1 probably has the similar meaning with “_________”. A．happiness B．excitement C．loneliness D．sadness 19．From Paragraph 2 and 3, we can know that _________. A．old people feel lonelier than teenagers of 12—18 years old B．social isolation may increase with the technology, like social media C．“empty-nest” youths usually live in the countryside and without work D．people will not get used to the loneliness when they become older 20．The last sentence of the passage “loneliness comes together with love” will _________. A．appear on the floor in the “loneliness” museum B．encourage the young to face up the world bravely C．appear when you and your friends ride the three bikes to light up the bulbs D．disappear when strangers ride the three bikes at the same time to light up the bulbs 二、阅读还原6选5（本题共5个小题，每小题3分，共15分） 阅读全文，并从下列的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中（有一个是多余选项），使原文的意思完整、连贯。 Scientists already believe robot animals will become more and more important in the future.
