Hello, my name is Jimmy. One day my eighth grade friend said that he was taking the school Geography Bee (比赛) written test the next day. Something in his tone told me that he was not looking forward to the bee. I could not understand! It sounded like a lot of fun to me.
All day, I found myself wishing I was in middle school, so I could take part in the geography bee. During my lunch break I walked up to my social studies teacher’s classroom and asked her if I could take part in the bee for middle school. But she did hesitate (犹豫) a bit because I was too young, just a primary school pupil. I told her that I really loved to learn about our earth, its rivers, mountains, all the human cultures on it. She was still not sure but finally said, “Yes.” I jumped at once!
That next morning I was going to be in the school bee as a participant and learn things I was really interested in. I was not nervous one bit, instead just very excited to be doing something I really loved. We had four written rounds—two on the United States and two on the world. I did surprisingly well and placed on the top ten, beating some of the strong seventh and eighth graders. I lost in the oral(口语) round the next day, but won my teacher’s attention. I came home and looked up the answers to the questions that I and other students lost on.
I placed second in my school the following year, but more importantly, I realized that I really loved geography and enjoyed the time I spent learning it. I may have lost that first bee, but I won the world; a love for that world; love to explore that world—one country, one mountain, one river, one landform at a time; and that is certainly the biggest win for me truly!
44. What can we learn about Jimmy’s eighth grade friend from the passage?
A. He was very good at Geography at school.
B. He was not ready to take part in the Geography Bee.
C. He was very excited before the Geography Bee came.
D. He didn’t know about the country he was living in.
45. When the teacher agreed to let Jimmy take part in the Geography Bee, he was ________.
A. surprised B. nervous C. excited D. worried.
46. What did Jimmy think of his first geography bee?
A. It made him more interested in geography.
B. He was very sorry to lose the geography bee.
C. He placed second in the speaking round the next day.
D. It made him get to know it was hard to learn geography well.
【答案】44. B 45. C 46. A
【解析】

Cats don’t seem very friendly. Unlike dogs, they don’t often play with people and they stay alone for hours. However, a new study shows that cats are just as strongly bonded (建立联系的) to us as dogs.
Researchers at Oregon State University, US, studied cats’ relationships with their owners (主人). They invited the owners of 117 cats to take a test that is often used to test the bonds dogs have with their caretakers.
In the six-minute test, cat owners walked into an unfamiliar room with their pets. After two minutes, the owner left the room, leaving the cats alone. This made the cats feel stressed (焦虑不安的).When the owners returned two minutes later, the researchers looked to see what the cats would do. About two-thirds of the cats came to greet their owners when they returned. The cats then went back to looking around the room but still returned to their owners now and then.
These cats, the researchers said, saw their owners as a source (来源) of security (安全) in an unfamiliar place. The findings are similar to those found in a study on dogs. Fifty-eight percent of dogs acted just like the cats.
“This idea that cats like to stay alone or don’t really care about people isn’t holding up,” said Kristyn Vitale, a scientist who led the study.
47. What are cats like in most people’s eyes?
A. They have strong bonds with dogs. B. They like staying together with other cats.
C. They don’t seem as friendly as dogs. D. They like to be around people like dogs do.
48. For how long did cat owners stay with their cats in the room during the test?
A. One minute. B. Two minutes. C. Four minutes. D. Six minutes.
49. What did the cats do when their owners came back?
A. The same thing they were doing when they went away.
B. All the cats greeted their owners happily.
C. They stayed with their owners the whole time.
D. Most of them stayed around their owners from time to time.
50. Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A. A storybook. B. A zoo guidebook. C. A sports newspaper. D. A science magazine.
【答案】47. C 48. C 49. D 50. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过研究说明猫并不是只喜欢独处的动物;相反,猫和狗一样都喜欢亲近人类。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Cats don’t seem very friendly. Unlike dogs, they don’t often play with people and they stay alone for hours.”可知大多数人眼中的猫看起来不像狗那么友好。故选C。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据“In the six-minute test, cat owners walked into an unfamiliar room with their pets. After two minutes, the owner left the room, leaving the cats alone. When the owners returned two minutes later, the researchers looked to see what the cats would do.”可知在测试过程中,猫主人和他们的猫在房间里待了四分钟。故选C。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据“About two-thirds of the cats came to greet their owners when they returned. The cats then went back to looking around the room but still returned to their owners now and then.”可知大约有三分之二的猫在主人回来时前来迎接。然后,这些猫回到房间四处张望,但仍不时回到它们的主人身边。选项D“它们大多数时不时地待在主人身边。”符合文章表述,故选D。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。本文通过研究说明猫并不是只喜欢独处的动物;相反,猫和狗一样都喜欢亲近人类。因此可能来自一本科学杂志。故选D。

My grandma is a gentle old lady. Like many women of her time, she is good at sewing(缝纫). She made all my childhood clothes on her own. As a young girl, I liked staying with my grandma to help her sew instead of playing outside with my friends. I was so interested in getting the thread(线)through the eyes of the needle(针).
Later, instead of making clothes, my grandmother would sew gloves or insoles for me. She cannot be with me all the time, but the love passed by her needle and thread warms me.
It was my grandma who sparked my enthusiasm(热情)for sewing and taught me how to show love and care. Almost a year ago, I was trying to give a birthday present to my friend. Then, I thought, “Why don’t I sew her a gift?” I decided to make her a pencil case. I cut out the picture from my old skirt, drew a design and started sewing. It took me many days to finish it. The final result wasn’t as pretty as I imagined. But it was the best pencil case that I could make.
Just yesterday, my friend called me and said that every time she sees the pencil case, she thinks of me and the warm feeling.
Sewing is a fantastic art form that can convey our love and care.

Hello, my name is Jimmy. One day my eighth grade friend said that he was taking the school Geography Bee (比赛) written test the next day. Something in his tone told me that he was not looking forward to the bee. I could not understand! It sounded like a lot of fun to me.
All day I found myself wishing I was in middle school, so I could take part in the geography bee. During my lunch break I walked up to my social studies teacher’s classroom and asked her if I could take part in the bee for middle school. But she did hesitate (犹豫) a bit because I was too young, just a primary school pupil. I told her that I really loved to learn about our earth, its rivers, mountains, all the human cultures on it. She was still not sure but finally said, “Yes.” I jumped at once!
That next morning I was going to be in the school bee as a participant and learn things I was really interested in. I was not nervous one bit instead just very excited to be doing something I really loved. We had four written rounds—two on the United States and two on the world. I did surprisingly well and placed on the top ten, beating some of the strong seventh and eighth graders. I lost in the oral(口语) round the next day, but won my teacher’s attention. I came home and looked up the answers to the questions that I and other students lost on.
I placed second in my school the following year, but more importantly, I realized that I really loved geography and enjoyed the time I spent learning it. I may have lost that first bee, but I won the world; a love for that world; love to explore that world—one country, one mountain, one river, one landform at a time; and that is certainly the biggest win for me truly!
44. What can we learn about Jimmy’s eighth grade friend from the passage?
A. He was very good at Geography at school.
B. He was not ready to take part in the Geography Bee.
C. He was very excited before the Geography Bee came.
D. He didn’t know about the country he was living in.
45. When the teacher agreed to let Jimmy take part in the Geography Bee, he was ________.
A. surprised B. nervous C. excited D. worried.
46. What did Jimmy think of his first geography bee?
A. It made him more interested in geography.
B. He was very sorry to lose the geography bee.
C. He placed second in the speaking round the next day.
D. It made him get to know it was hard to learn geography well.
C
Cats don’t seem very friendly. Unlike dogs, they don’t often play with people and they stay alone for hours. However, a new study shows that cats are just as strongly bonded (建立联系的) to us as dogs.
Researchers at Oregon State University, US, studied cats’ relationships with their owners (主人). They invited the owners of 117 cats to take a test that is often used to test the bonds dogs have with their caretakers.
In the six-minute test, cat owners walked into an unfamiliar room with their pets. After two minutes, the owner left the room, leaving the cats alone. This made the cats feel stressed (焦虑不安的).When the owners returned two minutes later, the researchers looked to see what the cats would do. About two-thirds of the cats came to greet their owners when they returned. The cats then went back to looking around the room but still returned to their owners now and then.
These cats, the researchers said, saw their owners as a source (来源) of security (安全) in an unfamiliar place. The findings are similar to those found in a study on dogs. Fifty-eight percent of dogs acted just like the cats.
“This idea that cats like to stay alone or don’t really care about people isn’t holding up,” said Kristyn Vitale, a scientist who led the study.
47. What are cats like in most people’s eyes?
A. They have strong bonds with dogs. B. They like staying together with other cats.
C. They don’t seem as friendly as dogs. D. They like to be around people like dogs do.
48. For how long did cat owners stay with their cats in the room during the test?
A. One minute. B. Two minutes. C. Four minutes. D. Six minutes.
49. What did the cats do when their owners came back?
A. The same thing they were doing when they went away.
B. All the cats greeted their owners happily.
C. They stayed with their owners the whole time.
D. Most of them stayed around their owners from time to time.
50. Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A. A storybook. B. A zoo guidebook. C. A sports newspaper. D. A science magazine.

Later, instead of making clothes, my grandmother would sew gloves or insoles for me. She cannot be with me all the time, but the love passed by her needle and thread warms me.
It was my grandma who sparked my enthusiasm(热情)for sewing and taught me how to show love and care. Almost a year ago, I was trying to give a birthday present to my friend. Then, I thought, “Why don’t I sew her a gift?” I decided to make her a pencil case. I cut out the picture from my old skirt, drew a design and started sewing. It took me many days to finish it. The final result wasn’t as pretty as I imagined. But it was the best pencil case that I could make.
Just yesterday, my friend called me and said that every time she sees the pencil case, she thinks of me and the warm feeling.
Sewing is a fantastic art form that can convey our love and care.
