It also had a fever. My friend tried to get a taxi to take the dog to an animal hospital. He stopped three taxis， but none of the drivers agreed to transport a dog. In the end， my friend borrowed a car from his neighbour and took his dog to the animal hospital. This experience gave me an idea. I decided to start a new service called “Taxi Pet”. I drive a taxi and offer the service to pet owners. My pet passengers are usually dogs， cats， birds and more animals. Pet owners usually ask me to take them and their pets to animal hospitals. I also take them to pet stores， parks， beaches and many other places. I love my job. Why？ When pet owners say thanks to me， I am satisfied（满足的） and delighted（高兴的）. I also make friends with some pet owners. （　　）26. How did the writer’s friend take his dog to the animal hospital？ A. By taxi. B. By car. C. By bus. D. On foot. （　　）27.

Others may go for a walk or get some exercise. A new study found another great way to lower students’ stress—playing with dogs. Scientists studied 105 students between the ages of eight and nine. 35 trained dogs and their trainers also took part in the test. The children were divided into 3 groups. The students in the first group spent 4 minutes with a dog and its trainer. They watched the trained dog perform and even played with it. They did this twice a week for 4 weeks. The second group spent the same amount of time doing exercise to relax. The last group did neither of these things. During this time， the scientists recorded the students’ cortisol levels（皮质醇水平）. Cortisol is a stress hormone（激素）. The more stressed you feel， the more cortisol you will have in your body. What did the scientists find？ Both the second and the third groups showed rises in cortisol levels. The first group， however， showed no big increase. And the children in this group had the lowest cortisol levels right after playing with the dogs. According to the study， students enjoy playing with dogs， and it helps them become happier. The stress hormone falls over time this way， which is good for students’ health. But here comes the next question： Is 4 minutes of playtime with a dog the best amount of time？ Scientists are going to keep working to find out the answer. （　　）33. Why is the first paragraph written？ A. To lead in the topic. B. To show the argument. C. To surprise the readers. D. To explain the latest research results. （　　）34. Which one shows the relationship between students’ stress（x） and cortisol levels（y）？ （　　）35. What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to？ A. Trainers. B. Dogs. C. Scientists. D. Students. （　　）36. What may the scientists study next？ A. More useful ways to lower stress. B. New skills of keeping pets at home. C. The amount of time to play with a dog. D. The most suitable kind of dog to play with. D ① Animal behaviour is an interesting and attractive study. Scientists research the ways animals use to look for food. They study how animals protect themselves from their predators and which animals kill other animals for food. It helps us understand how useful animals can be. ② Each country or culture raises some animals for food. In the United States， people mainly eat meat from cows， chickens and pigs. In other countries， people might raise sheep or buffalo for meat. These differences come in part from weather and other environmental conditions. People around the world eat all kinds of fish and shellfish from oceans and rivers. In some countries， people don’t always choose some animal groups， such as dogs， for food while in other countries such animals may become people’s favourite food. ③ In West Africa， animals provide humans with more than food. They have been helping people do daily work for thousands of years. Horses， oxen and other work animals pull heavy things. Elephants， camels and other animals carry people and things from place to place. Carrier pigeons（信鸽） have been used to send messages. ④ People also receive health benefits from animals. For example， dogs and cats can help calm people down. This is helpful for people fighting illnesses. Animals can also reduce stress， helping people to draw their attention to learning new information， such as reading. When people are walking their dogs or horses， it encourages exercise. ⑤ Animals and humans share space on Earth， so keeping a healthy relationship with animals around us is in our best interest. （　　）37. What is the passage mainly about？ A. Where animals live and how they look for food. B. The relationship between animals and humans. C. The different things animals can do in different countries. D. What humans should do when communicating with animals. （　　）38. The underlined word “predators” in Paragraph 1 probably means “ 　　　　”. A. neighbours B. friends C. children D. enemies （　　）39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？ A. Horses are helpful for people fighting illnesses. B. Elephants encourage humans to do more exercise. C. Africans mainly eat meat from cows， chickens and pigs. D. People like to have all kinds of fish for food from oceans and rivers. （　　）40. Which of the following is the structure of the passage？ 第二节　阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入41～45各题空白处的最佳选项。 A. They act as clothes to protect animals. B. In summer， you might see wet paw prints. C. That’s how cats keep themselves cool in hot weather. D. They have their methods for keeping cool in hot weather. E. Even with the methods for keeping cool， cats also depend on the environment to stay comfortable. When temperatures rise， humans sweat（出汗） and dogs pant（喘气）. It seems that cats are not afraid of hot weather. In fact， cats need to keep a body temperature of 38.3℃ to 38.9℃.  　41　 Many people have a wrong idea about how cats cool themselves in summer. They think cats sweat through their paws（爪） to cool themselves.  　42　 But a biologist pointed out， “Anything from their paws， noses， mouths or tongues is not for sweating. It’s for keeping the parts wet and it is not enough to cool their blood.” You may find cats groom（梳毛） themselves regularly.  　43　 The saliva（唾液） from their tongues acts as sweat to cool their bodies when it evaporates（蒸发）. That is how you can also help cool your cats down—by using a washcloth to lightly wet their fur. In very hot weather， cats will also pant， but unlike dogs who pant regularly to keep themselves cool. A panting cat is a sign of over-heating or a serious disease. If you try to cut off your cats’ hair to help keep them cool， please stop. Fur coats are highly developed.  　44　　In winter， they keep animals warm， but in summer， they protect their skin from the sun.  　45　 So leave air conditioners or fans on for your cats when you go out in summer， and make sure that there is plenty of water for them. 41.________ 42.________ 43.________ 44.________ 45.________ 四、 写作（共三节，满分30分） 第一节　语篇填词（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形式，每空限填一词。 Amy is a 12－year-old girl.
