Sandy had recently moved into the neighbourhood with her four kids: Jane, Joe, Christopher, and her youngest, eighteen-month-old Kim. She seemed happy to have kids nearby, until she saw our dog Sam. Sam, our shiny black dog, loved to play with the kids and protect them. But Sandy had a fear of dogs, and she started to back away as Sam approached. I grabbed Sam's collar and made him sit, trying to ease Sandy's discomfort. Sandy mentioned that she needed to get her kids ready to go to their grandmother's house. Just then, her door opened and her kids rushed out. Sandy shouted at them to stay away from Sam. The kids huddled（蜷缩） around their mum, looking at Sam cautiously（谨慎地）. Emma, my daughter, showed the kids how to approach a dog slowly and properly. The kids were won over by Sam's friendly nature, but I knew it would take some time for Sandy to change her viewpoint. After that incident, we made sure that Sam didn't go near our neighbours without me present. One day, when the kids were playing across the street, I noticed the eighteen-month-old baby heading towards a small hill. I saw a car approaching and shouted to everyone to watch the baby. Without hesitation, Sam rushed out the door and ran across the street towards the baby. He ran to the boy in time to gently push the baby away from the oncoming car. The kids cheered, completely unaware of the danger. They thought Sam had come to play. Within a year, Sam had made friends with all the neighbours. Even Sandy started to warm up to Sam and would occasionally come over to give him a hug. 题目： 1. How did Sandy feel when she first saw Sam? A. Excited. B. Amazed. C. Fearful. D. Awkward. 2. What did Sandy's kids do at the sight of Sam? A. They looked at Sam with watchful eyes. B. They formed a circle to protect their mum. C. They held him by the collar to make him sit. D. They prepared to escape from the dog. 3. How did Sam save Kim from danger? A. By running in front of the car to block it. B. By pushing the baby away from the car. C. By rushing to Sandy's house to get help. D. By jumping to the front of the coming car. 4. Which of the following can best describe Sam? A. Dangerous. B. Funny. C. Brave. D. Sensitive. B Woodstork, which was on the brink of extinction in 1984, has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states. The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl（水禽） from the endangered species list. This symbolic species, which is the only stork native to North America, has rebounded（回升） because dedicated partners in the southeast have worked tirelessly to restore ecosystems that support it. In addition, the wood stork has increased its range in coastal areas. The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years. Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefitted countless other species who call the area home. The Endangered Species Act has saved 99% of the species that have been on the list since 1973, with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable. The US Fish and Wildlife Service said that restoration of the wood stork's habitat, especially in the Florida Everglades and adjacent Big Cypress National Preserve, led to a sharp increase in breeding pairs. Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984, whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today. "The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant / milestone and a remarkable achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organisations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species," Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said. If the wood stork is delisted, officials said it would remain protected by other laws including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act. A monitoring plan would be put in place for at least five years to ensure the stork population remains stable. 题目： 5. What can be inferred about the wood stork from the text? A. Its population is increasing. B. It has already died out. C. It is widely distributed worldwide. D. It is the most endangered species. 6. What contribute mostly to recovering the population of the wood stork? A. Charity organisations. B. Federal agencies. C. Protections of the ESA. D. Local companies. 7. What is Deb Haaland's attitude to the delisting of the wood stork? A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Positive. 8. What is the best title of the text? A. Effect of the Big Cypress National Preserve Counts B. Saving of the Endangered Wood Stork Progresses C. Efforts to Restore the Wildlife Habitat Pay Off D. Protection of American Native Species Works Ⅱ. 七选五 Many dogs are enjoying a lot more time with, and attention from, their owners. Dog adoption（收养） rates have skyrocketed as people seek enjoyment and companionship. But what will happen when life eventually returns to normal? 1. ______ ● Teach puppies alone time. 2. ______ Otherwise, they may become anxious when they are alone, which can result in damaging behaviour such as chewing on furniture and digging up plants in the garden. Teaching your puppy to be comfortable alone right from the start will help you avoid separation issues in the future. Pleasing as it is to let your cute puppy follow you around, this can lead to them becoming overly dependent and potentially anxious when left alone. ● Set up a playpen or crate. An enclosed space will keep them safe when you're not in the same room. Allocate（分配） some time each day to leave your puppy alone after playtime is perfect. Allow them an opportunity to toilet and then give them something safe to chew on to help them settle. If you are planning for your dog to spend time outside during the day, it is essential that you set this up from the beginning. ● 3. ______ It's also important for adult dogs to spend time alone. When you are home, put your dog outside for short periods while offering a chew（咀嚼） toy, or encourage them to settle on their bed or in a crate while you move around different parts of the home. Setting up and maintaining an exercise routine（惯例）will be important once you start leaving home more, or your dog may become bored and possibly damaging. ● Establish good chew habits. Teach your puppy or dog what is acceptable for them to chew. Only give them toys that are clearly different from household items. 4. ______ When you want your dog to have some quiet time, give them a safe chew toy so they learn to connect this time with something positive. When you leave home, give them a chew toy to help them relax and keep them busy. ● Train your dog. This should include teaching the basics of "sit", "stay", and "down", but also training them to go to their bed and stay in position when requested. 5. ______ 选项： A. Create a routine. B. Maintain appropriate exercise. C. Dogs like routine because it makes them feel safe. D. Chewable toys that can be stuffed with a treat like peanut butter are a good choice. E. Trick training is also a nice way to use any extra time to develop the bond with your dog. F. These tips will help you raise a puppy or train a dog to be content when you are not around. G. Dogs are social creatures and need to learn some skills to be comfortable when left unattended.
