Whether it be a person, an animal, or even an insect, a mothers instincts (本能) are never wrong. This idea rings true for a mother cat who acted fast and sought out help when her kittens were in trouble. This mother cats quick thinking may have just saved her babies.
In the urban district of Izmir in western Turkey, a cat walked into a regular hospital holding a kitten in her mouth. As the mother cat moved through the hospital, people were surprised to see such a sight, but let her pass. The mother cat asked for help, crying for a long time. She was familiar to the hospital staff, who had been leaving her food and water outside, but they were unaware that she had given birth to kittens.
The mother cat was concerned for her young because they werent able to open their eyes. After the doctors looked at the kittens, they noticed that they were suffering from eye infections. One of the doctors recalls, “We consulted with vets(兽医) and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time later, we were excited.” Later, they were sent to an animal hospital for further care. The cats are now up for adoption and will hopefully find loving forever homes.
When it comes to mother cats and kittens, kittens completely depend on mothers for the first few months of their lives. Because they are blind and almost deaf until about two or three weeks old, the mother cat must protect them from any threat or danger. Without the mother cats help, the kittens may not make it to adulthood.
As shown by the mother cat in Turkey, a mothers love and protection knows no bounds. Whether the mom is a human or a cat, mothers will always look out for their babies and make sure they are safe and healthy.
4.Why did the mother cat show up in the hospital?
A.To seek out food. B.To express thanks.
C.To get her babies treated. D.To give birth to her babies.
5.How did the doctors help the baby cat?
A.They built them a home. B.They adopted all of them.
C.They gave them right medicine. D.They operated on them immediately.
6.What makes newly⁃born cats dependent on their mothers?
A.Their physical state. B.Their eating habit.
C.Their appearance. D.Their behavior.
7.What can we learn from the story?
A.A cat has nine lives.
B.Love makes a difference.
C.One good turn deserves another.
D.God helps those who help themselves.

Just like happiness and sadness, anxiety is part of everyones lived experience—but its not always tolerated as such. “People often spend too much time and effort trying to rid anxiety,” says Dr. Joel Minden, a clinical psychologist. “I encourage them to remember that anxiety is a normal emotional response.”
If you try to banish anxiety, all youre doing is putting it more at the forefront of your mind. But if you accept anxiety as part of life, you can learn to relate to it with self⁃pity or even with humour. This is a cornerstone of acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT), which has been gaining clinical validation, including by the American Psychological Association. ACT guides people to see their unpleasant emotions as just feelings and to accept that parts of life are hard. Sufferers are encouraged to begin a dialogue with anxious thoughts, examining their causes while also keeping in mind their personal goals and values.
This way of relating to anxiety has been a powerful strategy for John Bateman, the 52⁃ year⁃old host of the podcast Our Anxiety Stories. When negative thoughts arise, he acknowledges them but doesnt let them drive his decisions. Over the years, Bateman has noticed that if he submits to his thoughts, they dont go away but dramatically increase. But if he recognizes them for what they are, just a passing thought and not a fact that needs to be acted on, they gradually go away.
Learning to live with anxiety is an individual process and one that requires trial and error to get just right. While acceptance is the first and most important step to take, some lifestyle changes have been proven to take the edge off, as well. Since tiredness, increased tension and stress leave us much easier to fall into anxiety, a well⁃balanced diet, sufficient rest and, especially, regular exercise can help us manage it better.
8.What may Dr. Joel Minden agree about anxiety?
A.It goes hand in hand with joy. B.It should be seriously taken.
C.It is easily⁃earned experience. D.It is often improperly treated.
9.What can explain the underlined word “banish” in Paragraph 2?
A.Ignore. B.Hide.
C.Recognize. D.Control.
10.Why does the author mention John Bateman in Paragraph 3?
A.To explain a strategy. B.To describe a phenomenon.
C.To present a successful case. D.To introduce a public figure.
11.What is advised to deal with anxiety in the last part?
A.Concentrating on the process.
B.Making lifestyle adjustments.
C.Avoiding exposure to pressure.
D.Learning to get things in place.

If we jump in the air as high as possible, we can stay off the ground for about half a second. Michael Jordan could stay airborne for almost one second while ski jumpers are able to do that for five to seven seconds as they travel about the length of a football field through the air. So how do they do this?
Three major concepts from physics are at play in the ski jump: gravity, lift and drag. Gravity pulls any object in flight down toward the ground and there is nothing athletes can do to lessen its effect. But athletes also interact with the air as they move. It is this interaction that can produce lift, an upwards force produced by air pushing on an object. If the force produced from lift roughly balances the force of gravity, the object can fly. The same interaction also produces drag. It resists the forward motion of any object and slows it down.
In the ski jump, jumpers start high up on a slope and then ski downhill to generate speed. Just before they reach the end of the slope, they jump. Once jumpers are in the air, the fun physics begins. They use careful body positioning to maximize lift while minimizing drag. To do this, they adjust their skis and body nearly parallel to the ground and place their skis in a Vshape just outside the form of the body. This position increases the surface area that generates lift and puts them in the ideal angle of attack that will also maximize lift. As drag reduces the speed of the jumpers, lift decreases and gravity continues to pull on them. They will begin to fall faster and faster until they land.
As you tune into the Olympics to wonder at the physical power of the athletes, take a moment to consider also their mastery of the concepts of physics.
12.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Staying longer in the air. B.Traveling forward slower.
C.Falling down the hill faster. D.Jumping higher than average.
13.How can ski jumpers fly in the air according to Paragraph 2?
A.They make use of the interaction with air.
B.They get more forces of gravity than lift.
C.They keep a good balance while skiing.
D.They get rid of the effect of gravity.
14.What does Paragraph 3 mainly discuss about the ski jump?
A.Its training equipment. B.Its safety guidelines.
C.Its major concepts. D.Its basic routine.
15.What may be the best title for the text?
A.Ski Jumpers Flying in the Sky
B.Falling or Flying Is Your Choice
C.Physics: as Difficult as Imagined
D.Ski Jump Booming in the Olympics

10.C 推理判断题。根据第三段内容意思:对于52岁的播客“我们的焦虑故事”主持人John Bateman来说,这种与焦虑相关的方式是一种强有力的策略。当消极思想出现时,他会承认它们,但不会让它们驱动他的决定。多年来,贝特曼注意到,如果他听从自己的想法,这些想法非但不会消失,反而会急剧增加。但如果他认识到它们的本质,它们只是一个短暂的想法,而不是一个需要采取行动的事实,它们就会逐渐消失。可推知,作者在第三段提到John Bateman是为了提出一个成功的案例。故选C。
11.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While acceptance is the first and most important step to take... regular exercise can help us manage it better.(虽然接受是第一步,也是最重要的一步,但事实证明,一些生活方式的改变被证明可以减轻压力。由于疲劳,增加的紧张和压力使我们更容易陷入焦虑,均衡的饮食,充分的休息,特别是有规律的锻炼可以帮助我们更好地控制这种情绪。)”可推知,建议调整生活方式来应对焦虑。故选B。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了滑雪运动员是如何做到在空中停留更长的时间及其基本步骤。
12.A 代词指代题。根据第一段内容意思:如果我们跳到尽可能高的空中,我们可以离开地面大约半秒钟。迈克尔·乔丹可以在空中停留将近一秒钟,而滑雪运动员在空中飞行大约一个足球场的长度时,可以停留五到七秒钟。那么他们是如何做到这一点的呢?可知,this指代的是上文提到的情况,即“迈克尔·乔丹可以在空中停留将近一秒钟,而滑雪运动员在空中飞行大约一个足球场的长度时,可以停留五到七秒钟”,所以 this指的是迈克尔·乔丹和滑雪运动员在空中比我们停留更长时间。故选A。
13.A 细节理解题。根据第二段“But athletes also interact with the air as they move. It is this interaction that can produce lift, an upwards force produced by air pushing on an object. If the force produced from lift roughly balances the force of gravity, the object can fly. (但运动员在运动时也会与空气相互作用。正是这种相互作用可以产生升力,即空气推动物体产生的向上的力。如果升力与重力大致平衡,物体就可以飞行。)”可知,滑雪运动员是利用与空气的相互作用在空中飞行。故选A。
14.D 段落大意题。根据第三段内容意思:在跳台滑雪中,滑雪运动员从斜坡上的高处开始,然后滑下山以产生速度。就在他们到达斜坡尽头之前,他们跳了起来。一旦滑雪运动员在空中,有趣的物理开始了。他们使用谨慎的身体定位来最大限度地提升,同时最小化阻力。为了做到这一点,他们调整他们的滑雪板和身体几乎平行于地面,并把他们的滑雪板放在身体外部的V形。这个位置增加了产生升力的表面积,并使它们处于理想的角度,从而使升力最大化。当阻力降低跳投者的速度时,升力降低,重力继续拉着跳投者。它们会越来越快地下落,直到着陆。可知,这段主要讨论的是跳台滑雪的基本步骤。故选D。
15.A 标题归纳题。根据第二段中“Three major concepts from physics are at play in the ski jump: gravity, lift and drag.(在跳台滑雪中有三个主要的物理概念:重力、升力和阻力)”结合文章主要讲述了滑雪运动员是如何在空中飞行及其基本步骤。A选项“跳台滑雪运动员在天空中飞翔”最符合文章标题。故选A。
