Meowing Cats meow at their owners for several reasons,including:to ask for food,to greet people,to ask for attention,to let you know they want to go outside/come inside.In addition,elderly cats suffering from cognitive disfunction,.similar to Alzheimer's Disease(阿尔兹海默症)in humans,. may meow due to becoming confused or disoriented,so we encourage you to schedule an appointment with us if your senior cat seems confused or is meowing more than usual. Purring While cats do purr as a sign of contentment,they also do it as a self-comforting mechanism when sick,stressed or injured.If your cat is purring but also showing signs that something may be wrong,like hiding more than usual or refusing food/water,they could be sick or in pain. Tail Posture If they hold their tail straight up and have relaxed fur,they're likely to feel happy or curious. But if their fur stands on end while their tail is straight,this indicates fear or anger.Holding the tail low or hidden between the legs indicates lack of security,and a tail that's rapidly twitching back and forth suggests anxiety Rubbing When your cat rubs against your legs or gives you head butts,they are telling you that they love you.That is not the only thing they are doing.though.Cats rub their bodies and cheeks against people and objects to mark their territory and to claim humans,other cats,and various objects as their own. 21.When cats are sick or in pain,what are they likely to do?

B "Soon,you're going to have to move out!"cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind,or at least known in my neighborhood. One tiny 9-inch plant,bought for $1.25 in the spring.has already taken over much of my rose bed,covering much of other plants,and is well on its way to the front door. Roses require a good deal of care,and if it weren't for the pleasure they give,it wouldn't be worth the work.As it is,I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year.Bushes must be pruned()in early spring.leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later.It was the space available in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant.A big mistake. Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing()have tumned the little plant into a tall bush.The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves. Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold:First,I have to find the red ones among the leaves,which means I almost have to stand on my head,and once found I have to reach down and under,pick the tomatoes and withdraw()my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won.I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June,but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light. Here I am faced with a painful small decision:To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses.Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind,I'll think about that tomorrow. 24.What are the requirements for the healthy growth of roses? A.A lot of care and the right soil. B.Frequent pruning and fertilizing. C.Tomato plants grown alongside. D.Cages placed around the roots. 25.The writer planted the tomato because A.it cost only $1.25 B.the soil was just right for it C.there was room for it in the garden D.the roses'branches needed to be covered 26.This year the writer's roses were A.removed from the rose bed B.picked along with the tomatoes C.mostly damaged by too much sunlight D.largely hidden under the tomato plant 27.By saying"the prize so dearly won"in paragraph5,the writer wants to A.show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes B.show the hardship of growing the roses C.express her liking for the roses D.express her care for the tomatoes 高二英语第4页共10页 C One moming a few years ago.Harvard President Neil Rudenstine overslept For this busy man,it was a sort of alarm:after years of non-stop hard work,he might wear himself out and die an early death. Only after a week's leave-during which he read novels,listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach-was Rudenstine able to return to work. In our moder life,we have lost the rhythm between action and rest.Amazingly,within this world there is a universal but silly saying "I am so busy." We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress.The busier we are,the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine,to others.To be unavailable to our friends and family,and to be unable to find time to relax-this has become the model of a successful life. Because we do not rest,we lose our way.We miss the guide telling us where to go,the food providing us with strength,the quiet giving us wisdom. How have we allowed this to happen?I believe it is this:we have forgotten the Sabbath,the day of the week-for followers of some religions-for rest and praying It is a day when we are not supposed to work,a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful.It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones.give thanks,share meals,walk and sleep.It is a time for us to take a rest,to put our work aside,trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world. Rest is a spiritual and biological need;however,in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities,we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest.The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work.In fact,"Remember the Sabbath"is more than simply permission to rest,it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow. 28.The"alarm"in the first paragraph refers to" A.a signal of stress B.a warning of danger C.a sign ofage D.a spread of disease 29.According to Paragraph 4.a successful person is one who is believed to A.be able to work without stress B.be more talented than others C.be more important than anyone else D.be busy working without time to rest 30.Some people feel guilty when taking time to rest because they A.think that taking a rest means lacking ambitions B.fail to realize that rest is an essential part of life C.fail to realize that religions force them to rest D.think that taking a rest means being lazy 31.What is the main idea of this passage? A.We should balance work with rest. B.The Sabbath gives us permission to rest. C.It is silly for anyone to say "I am busy." D.We should be available to our family and friends D California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s,according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor. 高二英语第5页共10页 The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46， 000 square miles of Califoria forests， the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected， from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country， the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent in parts of south em California the decline was nearly 75 percent Many factors contributed to the decline， said Patrick Mcl n tyre， an c colo gist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources. But in comparing a study of Calif omia forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010， Mcn tyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed， taking into account such things as rainfall， air temperature， dampness of soil， and the timing of snowmelt. Since the 1930s. Men tyre said， the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures， which cause trees to lose more water to the air， and earlier snowmelt which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season. 32. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A.The seriousness of big-tree loss in California B.The increasing variety of California big trees. C.The distribution of big trees in California forests D.The influence of farming on big trees in California 33.Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees? A.Ecological studies of forests. B.Banning woodcutting C.Limiting housing development. D.Fire control measures. 34. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to M cln tyre? A.Insufficient snowmelt. B.A longer dry season C.A warmer climate. D.Dampness of the air. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A.California's Forests Where Have All the Big Trees Gone? B.Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon C.Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?

Anger seems simple when we are feeling it， but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior， and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering events， personality traits(特征) ， and our assessment of situations 36 高二英语第6页共10页 Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages.However,here are some examples:being cut off in traffic,a deadline approaching. experiencing physical pain,and much more.37The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits Each person,no matter who they are,has psychological imbalances.People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry.38 Also,sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition,but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred. 39 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger,or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative outlooks on situations can create anger. 40 However,anger can easily tur violent,and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence.With these main reasons in mind,we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings. A.Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well. B.But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger. C.Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait,and is usually advised to reduce it. D.Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry. E.Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state where anger is in the background of your mind F.Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye. G.Not everyone acts the same in response to events,and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Perhaps you've heard the old saying"curiosity killed the cat."It's a phrase that's often used to 41 people-especially children-not to ask too many questions.Yet it's widely agreed that 42 actually makes learning more enjoyable and effective.43,research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in 44 how well students do in school.

Since the 1930s,Mclntyre said,the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures,which cause trees to lose more water to the air,and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season. 32.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A.The seriousness of big-tree loss in California B.The increasing variety of California big trees. C.The distribution of big trees in California forests. D.The influence of farming on big trees in California. 33.Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees? A.Ecological studies of forests. B.Banning woodcutting. C.Limiting housing development. D.Fire control measures. 34.What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre? A.Insufficient snowmelt. B.A longer dry season. C.A warmer climate. D.Dampness of the air 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.California's Forests:Where Have All the Big Trees Gone? B.Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon C.Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests? D.Patrick Mclntyre:Grow More Big Trees in California 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Why Do We Get Angry? Anger seems simple when we are feeling it,but the causes of anger are various.Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior,and correct bad habits.The main reasons we get angry are triggering events,personality traits(),and our assessment of situations 36 高二英语第6页共10页 Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages.However,here are some examples:being cut off in traffic,a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain,and much more.37 The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits. Each person,no matter who they are,has psychological imbalances.People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry.38 Also,sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition,but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred. 39 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger,or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative outlooks on situations can create anger. 40 However,anger can easily turn violent,and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence.With these main reasons in mind,we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings. A.Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well. B.But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger. C.Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait,and is usually advised to reduce it. D.Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry. E.Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state where anger is in the background of your mind. F.Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye. G.Not everyone acts the same in response to events,and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Perhaps you've heard the old saying"curiosity killed the cat."It's a phrase that's often used to 41 people-especially children-not to ask too many questions.Yet it's widely agreed that 42 actually makes learning more enjoyable and effective.43,research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in 44 how well students do in school Curiosity also 45 us to embrace unfamiliar circumstances,brings excitement into our lives,and opens up new possibilities.Being curious requires us to be both humble enough to know we don't have all the answers,and brave enough to 46 it.Asking the questions that help us 47 the gap between what we already know and what we'd like to know can lead us to make unexpected discoveries.

In the classroom,Maya was drawing little green buds()and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her.She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking. "What's that for?"Not knowing what to say,Maya pretended she didn't hear him.After a few seconds of awkwardness,she glanced back at him,and found that he looked a little sad. After lunch,the class set off.The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path.Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up.
