He goes with me wherever I go,” said the girl of Sichuan province. But it is not easy to be a sister. Zhang has to help her parents bath her brother every week. This is because he is hairy: he is a dog. As the number of pet owners in China grows, more and more Chinese students have animal friends at home. Experts say that these small creatures give these only-children lessons in love, care, teamwork and generosity. This month the first study on the impact of pets on children came out. It is a survey of 402 Beijing primary school students. It shows that animal friends are good for children. China had more than 90 million only-children by 2006, according to the government. “In families of three, most children feel lonely. They don’t have many chances to learn how to love and be responsible for others,” said Zhou Xia of the study group. “So having a pet can help with the problem.” However, some students complain that their parents don’t allow them to have pets. “They are afraid a pet would stop me studying,” said Chen Qi, of Chongqing. Perhaps he could learn from Qin Yixing, 13, of Beijing. “I don’t play with my dog until I have finished my homework. I made the promise to my mom and I keep it,” said the girl. 1.

MJ, short for Mary Jane, is different from other cats. She was born in a drawer in Rudy’s bedroom on April Fool’s day. When she got older, Rudy noticed that her favorite place to rest was his shoulders, so he decided to train her to work with him. “The first day we crossed one block. The next day we tried two blocks and now we can ride about 25 miles every day. MJ enjoys moving around on my shoulders,” Rudy said. However, Rudy hopes to be able to ride 100 miles with MJ in the coming day. “People are always surprised and excited to watch us. I often hear someone shout, ‘Oh, my God, he has a cat on his shoulder! How lovely that is!’ MJ is so comfortable on my shoulder and she never hurts me with her claws. We always get on well with each other and have a great time during the work.” Rudy smiled. MJ loves noisy streets of Philadelphia, the only problem is that she is scared of the siren (警笛声). However, her owner Rudy is always there for her. One day, if you go to Philadelphia and see a postman with a cat on his shoulder, don’t be surprised! 1.

D 【导语】本文讲述了邮递员Rudy每天带着他的猫MJ去投递包裹的故事。 1. 推理判断题。根据“Oh, my God, he has a cat on his shoulder!”表示人们的惊讶，及文中多次提及MJ喜欢坐在Rudy的肩膀上，可知这是最大的不同之处。故选D。 2. 细节理解题。根据“‘... We always get on well with each other and have a great time during the work.’ Rudy smiled.”可知，Rudy说他们总是相处得很好，工作的时候也很开心。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据“People are always surprised and excited to watch us.”可知人们看到Rudy和MJ既惊讶又兴奋，并没有不喜欢看，B项错误。故选B。 4. 词义猜测题。根据划线部分前半句“she never hurts me.”可知，她从不伤害我。结合常识可推断，猫伤人一般使用的是猫的爪子。由此推断画线部分claws是“爪子”的意思。故选A。 5. 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，这篇短文讲述了邮递员Rudy每天带着他的猫MJ去投递包裹的故事。因此，选项D“一个邮递员和他的酷猫。”为最佳标题。故选D。 Passage 12 A few weeks ago, my friend had a yard sale. I thought it would help to clean my 9-year-old son’s room. We agreed that whatever we sold in toys would be his money. The night before the sale, we put toys on the truck as well as a little bike that was too short for my son now. This little bike had at least 2 owners before it came to my son. It was not in the best shape and it certainly was not shiny new but it was still a bike, and the tires（轮胎）were still good. We put a price of $10 on it but it didn’t sell. So after the sale was over, my friend put it on the sidewalk with a sign that said “FREE BIKE”. Within five minutes, a little girl was standing there. She asked if the bike was really free. My friend said yes. The girl smiled and rode away quickly. Later that evening when I told my son how much money he had made at the yard sale, he smiled. When he asked about the bike, I told him that a little girl was very happy because she got the bike for free. The grin（咧嘴笑）on my son’s face was much more than when I told him how much he had made. He was so thrilled to hear that someone else would get good use of that little bike. The bike was given to us, so in this way, I guess we got to pay it forward! 1. The money from toys at the yard sale belonged to ________. A．the boy’s parents B．the friend C．the boy D．the girl 2. How did the little girl get the bike? A．She bought the bike on the sidewalk.

A．the writer was proud of his son B．the writer was sorry for the bike C．the writer was angry with the friend D．the writer was satisfied with the girl 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. D 4. B 5.

Young people play an important role in these events. On these special days, young people spend a lot of time comparing prices and choosing their favorite things online.

He goes with me wherever I go,” said the girl of Sichuan province. But it is not easy to be a sister. Zhang has to help her parents bath her brother every week. This is because he is hairy: he is a dog. As the number of pet owners in China grows, more and more Chinese students have animal friends at home. Experts say that these small creatures give these only-children lessons in love, care, teamwork and generosity. This month the first study on the impact of pets on children came out. It is a survey of 402 Beijing primary school students. It shows that animal friends are good for children. China had more than 90 million only-children by 2006, according to the government. “In families of three, most children feel lonely. They don’t have many chances to learn how to love and be responsible for others,” said Zhou Xia of the study group. “So having a pet can help with the problem.” However, some students complain that their parents don’t allow them to have pets. “They are afraid a pet would stop me studying,” said Chen Qi, of Chongqing. Perhaps he could learn from Qin Yixing, 13, of Beijing. “I don’t play with my dog until I have finished my homework. I made the promise to my mom and I keep it,” said the girl. 1.

The night before the sale, we put toys on the truck as well as a little bike that was too short for my son now. This little bike had at least 2 owners before it came to my son.

My friend said yes. The girl smiled and rode away quickly. Later that evening when I told my son how much money he had made at the yard sale, he smiled.

Passage 15 In the past few years, shopping festivals like 520,618, Double Eleven and Double Twelve have become quite popular in China. Young people play an important role in these events. On these special days, young people spend a lot of time comparing prices and choosing their favorite things online. For example, on 520, they may buy gifts for their loved ones, because in China, the pronunciation (发音) of “520” is similar to that of “I love you”. During 618 and the other two festivals, young people have developed a habit of stocking up (屯积) on clothes, foods, things for everyday use and so on. These things can usually be bought, but many young people will wait until those special times. The reason is that the price during the shopping festivals is much lower than usual. These festivals have brought a great and deep influence on China and its people. Many online shops have seen a large improvement in sales, and lots of people have gotten new jobs.
