Cat lovers find them charming.Wildlife protectors and bird lovers see furry killers and blame them for the 37 in bird populations. How you feel about outdoor cats may also depend on where you are in the world.In the United States,about 81 percent of pet cats are kept38,according to a 2021 study.But elsewhere,it can be far more39 to let them walk around.In Denm ark,only 17 percent of cats are strictly indoor pets,according to the same study.In Tuirkiye,so many wild cats walk 40 in and out of cafes,restaurants and markets that a documentary was made about these outdoor animals. And in Britain,where the 2021 study found that 74 percent of cat owners let their pets roam outside,many cat charities advise pet owners on the best ways to keep cats 41 outdoors.The idea might come as a(n)42 to many American cat owners,who often refuse to allow a person to adopt a cat once it is discovered that they are going to be keeping it outside. During much of the 20th century,most cats 43outside,said David Grimm,author of Citizen Canine:Our Evolving Relationship With Cats and Dogs.The invention of kitty litter() in 1947 made indoor cats more acceptable.But it was not until around the early 1990s that more Americans began bringing their cats indoors.At that time,they also worried that an outdoor cat was more likely to suffer from diseases. However,many owners have also felt conflicted about keeping a(n)44,restless creature inside.Some have trained their own cats to walk on leashes when they're outside. Keeping them inside "didn't feel 45,"said Mr.Grimm,"just like I wouldn't keep my kids inside all day.We can only take so much animal out of them." Trisha Brennan,who lives in Boston in the U.S.,tried to keep her cat indoors at first.But he nipped shoes,pulled Ms.Brennan's hair,and pounced()so much that her teenage daughter locked herself in her room “It's an uneasy_46 that you make,having an outdoor cat,"Ms.Brennan said. III.Reading comprehension(30%) Section A Cloze 15% Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B.C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Every culture on the planet has certain topics that people avoid discussing.But the taboos() of one culture may be very different from those of another.You may be 47that people from other cultures say what you can't talk about. Paying attention to what people don't 48 can teach us something important about their culture.Their taboo topics give us clues about what they value,respect or even fear.Topics that are considered too personal or too controversial(有争议的)may also be avoided. America is full of taboo topics.Usually,during a polite conversation,Americans will 49 both politics and religion.They also avoid talking about racial issues(种族问题)， Why?Because these topics can cause strong opinions and 50.Americans believe it's best to avoid them-especially at social gatherings. Many Americans also do not feel 51 talking about their personal income,age or health. 52,they prefer to make small talks about the weather,sports or common interests. What do these taboos tell us about American 53 For one,they show that Americans place importance on 54.America certainly isn't the only place that values it.You will find 55 taboos about asking personal questions in many European countries."In Germany,you are not supposed to ask about other people's personal business,"says Hanna Graf,a German living in Shanghai,"But there are no56 rules about what you can't ask;it's just in people's minds." In Brazil,57,almost anything seems open to discussion.Brazilians talk about all kinds of personal issues except one.In Brazil,soccer is the one topic that can turn friends into enemies. Saying anything58 about soccer can cause big trouble.Even expressing preference for one team over another can be59 Like Brazilians,Australians talk freely about almost anything.However,they do not talk about their personal or business60 They prefer to let people judge them by their actions,not their words.Boasting()your success will only make you the 61 of other people's jokes. And what about your taboos?The next time you have a conversation,pay attention to what isn't said.You might be amazed at what you learn about your own culture. 47.A.excited B.relieved C.fascinated D.surprised 48.A.discuss B.consider C.desire D.stress 49.A.rule out B.take to C.touch upon D.focus on 50.A.relationships B.interactions C.agreements D.arguments 51.A.embarrassed B.relaxed C.confused D.disappointed 52.A.Besides B.Occasionally C.Frankly D.Instead 53.A.values B.features C.status D.dreams 54.A.culture B.independence C.privacy D.freedom 55.A.formal B.unique C.similar D.aggressive 56.A.specialized B.written C.common D.basic 57.A.moreover B.however C.therefore D.anyhow 58.A.important B.worthless C.magical D.negative 59.A.beneficial B.impressive C.dangerous D.emotional 60.A.achievements B.secrets C.lives D.failures 61.A.audience B.designer C.target D.interpreter Section B (7%) Directions:Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) By the middle of the second day I know I'm in trouble.In front of me the land stretches up and away towards a distant hill,and into the space,between that hill and me,is crowded one of the most vivid concentrations of color I have ever seen.It starts with the trees.The wet season is only a few weeks off and almost as if they can smell the coming rains,they have put out their leaves.They are no ordinary green and the dry grasses beneath them are shining with golds,browns and reds.I want to recreate this scene with watercolors.Although I can make atry at it with words,trying to paint it in my sketch book is another matter altogether.I've already made one attempt:a series of lines in orange and red,with bluish trees placed across them,which now lies face down in the grass beside me. I've put it there because the last thing I want right now is for someone else to come along and look at it.A young man called Royale walks up the hill.Royale is a sculptor,and,with several other local men,produces pieces of work in the local stone.Recently,and quite suddenly,this work,and that of several other local co-operatives,has acquired an international reputation.I certainly don't want a man capable of such things looking at my own awful painting.So I put my foot,as casually as I can,on the finished one beside me and we resume the conversation started earlier in the day. I want to talk to Royale about his life here.He,however,is only interested in what I am up to.To begin with,it seems that he considers me a fellow artist,and for a moment I find myself staring into the depths of embarrassment.But when he asks me,What is painting like?"Irealize that this professional artist has never painted anything in his life before.He just wants a go with my colors. When I signed up for this holiday,I was hoping for an experience like the one I hadhad four years earlier in Wales.That was my first painting holiday,and I loved it.Two things made it great. First was the teacher,a man called Robin,who showed me that what is important about drawing and painting is not the finished article but the process of completing it.The second element of that week was the place.I grew up in places like that,and I connected with it immediately.But it was stupid of me to think that I could reproduce the experience down here,deep in the Southern Hemisphere Zimbabwe is not a part of me,nor I of it.Trying to draw it for the first time,from a standing start,is like trying to start a conversation in Swahili. 62.What problem does the writer have at the beginning ofher holiday? A.She can't reproduce the exact color. B.There are no animals that she can paint. C.She's brought the wrong materials with her.D.The weather is not good enough for painting 63.The writer hid her work because A.it was only a quick sketch B.it wasn't good enough to sell C.she believed she painted better D.she thought it would disappoint Royale 64.What does the writer mean by "what I am up to"(in paragraph 3)? A.What I will give him. B.What I am painting. C.What I am thinking about D.What I can teach him 65.What does the writer say about her previous painting holiday? A.Her technique improved much faster. B.The landscape was more familiar to her. C.She was able to complete anumber of paintings. D.The teacher who taught her then was more talented. (B) WE FOUND A FIX 1.Get Free Support Just want someone to talk to?At 7cups.com,you can connect with a trained "active listener"for free,completely confidential advice.Choose a listener based on location and life experience,or let the site assign someone to you for an instant conversation. 2.Clip Virtual Coupons Look for coupon codes on retailer and cash-back websites.Just google the brand name and "pro mo code”to find the latest offerings.And who says that when you snooze(打盹)，you lose? Sometimes leaving items in your shopping cart can add up to savings.You might get a pop-up with a coupon code to tempt you to purchase what's there or an e-mail in your inbox with a discount offer. 3.Cut Your Tax Bill Does anyone want to hear about taxes?Maybe not.But in this unusual year (the first time in history that the federal tax deadline has been extended to July 15),it pays to stay on top of things.The irs.gov website is surprisingly easy to navigate ()and there's a link on the home page to the IRS's coronavirus tax-relief programs. 4.Remove Stubborn Food Stains Got unattractive coffee and tea stains on a pot,or mug?Pick up some denture (cleaner. Dissolve one tablet per two cups of hot water,pour it into the stained container,and let it sit for several hours.Then use a scrub brush to clean off the stains and any loosened bits.Pour the solution out and wash thoroughly. 5.Save Texting Time One lesser-known secret to typing on your phone:Double-tap the space bar on the keyboard when you finish a sentence.Doing so adds a period and a space-and automatically capitalizes the next letter you type to start your next sentence. 6.Preserve Your Fragrances(香水) If you wish the scent of your eau de toilette or cologne lasted longer,store it in the fridge. "Growing up,I'd always see my grandmother's in the fridge,and she told me it kept the fragrance longer and felt refreshing on the skin,"says TV style expert Hilary Kennedy."I love keeping mine cool,especially during the summer and fall months."Take note:Very cold temperatures can upset the balance of some delicate perfumes. 66.Michael,who values efficiency most,can A.tumn to a trained listener at 7cups.com for free advice B.look for coupon codes online to find the latest offerings C.apply for tax-cut on the government's website this year D.double-tap the space bar on the phone when texting 67.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.If perfume is preserved in the fridge at very cold temperature,its fragrance will last longer B.Brushing the stain soon after applying the denture cleaner can remove the stubbom one. C.Due to the coronavirus pandemic,the government has prolonged the tax deadline and cut taxes. D.Leaving items in shopping carts helps you save as you can re-consider if they are worth buying. 68.The purpose of this passage is to A.teach people how to deal with emergency B.arouse people's interest in fixing problems C.offer tricks to help improve people's life D.inform people of the latest scientific findings Section C (8%) Dir ections:Read the passage carefully.Fill in each blank with aproper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A.In fact,species that are common can also come under serious threat before people realize it. B.So we can see many endangered animals living in zoos. C.This means that the remaining individuals are at serious risk. D.But unfortunately that is not always the case. E.But if we wish to keep any real measure of biodiversity on the planet,we may have to lean on zoos far more than many realize. F.This is a trend that is only likely to continue The World Needs Zoos ZOOS play an important role in the world for conservation and education.They are particularly important for endangered species.Many animals are critically endangered and may go extinct in the wild,but in zoos,they are going strong.Many others are already extinct in the wild and only survive thanks to populations kept in captivity )Even those critical of zoos often recognize that it is better to have species preserved somewhere than lose them altogether.69 Take the ring-tailed lemur（环尾狐猴)of Madagascar for example.This animal is almost biquitous（普遍存在的)in zoos as they breed well in captivity and the public are fond of them. However,despite their high numbers in collections around the world,they are the most threatened mammalian group on the planet.A recent survey suggests that up to 95 percent of the wild populations have been lost since 2000.70 One bad year or a new disease could wipe out those that are left. Such trends are not isolated.The giraffe is another very common species in zoos.Unlike the lemurs,giraffes are widespread in the countries across much of sub-Saharan Africa Yet giraffe populations have gone down by a third in the last thirty years.While less dramatic than the drop in lemur numbers,this is obviously a major loss and again,whole populations(which some scientists think are of unique subspecies)are on the verge of extinction. _71 Ongoing and future issues from climate change can have unexpected effects on wildlife.It will become more difficult for conservationists to predict which species might be at risk. As it is,experts are struggling to continue monitoring the species that are already known to be vulnerable,so it is easy to see why common species might be overlooked.People might not take a great local loss seriously on the assumption that these animals are heavily populated elsewhere. There will,I suspect,always be resistance to the argument for keeping animals in captivity and I will not defend the zoos that are bad and in desperate need of improvement or closure.72If even common species can lose a huge percentage of their populations in a few years,it may be too late to save them with even the best breeding programs or conservation efforts in the wild. 第IⅡ卷（共24分） 1.默写(10%) 单词(3%) 1.递送 2.令人大为惊奇的 3.小吃，点心 4.信封 5.道歉，谢罪 6.青少年 词组(7%) 1.注意，关心，关注 2.在远方 3.换言之 4.热衷于运动 5.属于 6.值得深思的事物 7.就.而言 IⅡ中译英(3%+3%+4%+4%) 1.务必在下雨前完成房屋的维修。(sure) 2.真正重要的不是声誉或财富，而是自信和勇气。(What) 3.卢浮宫(Louvre)因为它数不清的藏品一直是巴黎必游之地之一。(remain) 4.毫无疑问，父母亲愿意为孩子做任何事情，来帮助他们在未来取得成功。(dobt)
