阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Food festivals happen frequently across the UK, popping up in all kinds of locations and throughout the year. No matter what you’re into, you’ll find a festival that fits — even the most particular tastes are covered.
Meatopia
This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end of August and is a meat lover’s paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products, from juicy burgers to tender steaks, attendees can listen to live music, watch butchery demonstrations, and attend informal meat-based workshops.
The National Honey Show
If you have a sweet tooth, then it could be that the National Honey Show, which started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind, is the place for you to be. This three-day event attracts many local entries who showcase their sweet golden honey, some of which is sold globally.
The Orange Sauce Festival
Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce? Held in Cumbria, this sweet, fragrant festival has been running for 3 years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe, bringing their local snacks to share here.
The Ginger and Spice Festival
If you’d prefer something with a little more kick to it, then you could attend The Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. Unlike other food festivals, it celebrates its town’s historic connection to Robert Clive, who returned from India with ginger. Because of this, they specialize in baking gingerbread, but also sell a range of traditional spices from mild to hot.
21. What do Meatopia and the National Honey Show have in common?
A. Both of them have a long history. B. Both of them hold workshops.
C. Both of them last the same amount of time. D. Both of them originated from London.

B
I was born in 1990-the year of the white horse. A girl born under this zodiac(生肖) is believed to have a wild, steed-like(骏马般的)spirit that will block her fortunes, bringing her family trouble. These beliefs were planted in my mind as a girl growing up in South Korea. I was repeatedly told to fight against my steed-like spirit and instead try being still, gentle, and quiet.
Actually, when I was young, I loved exploring the mountainous trails behind our house, examining the various soil layers in nearby fields, and generally running wild outdoors. I often returned home with soiled clothes.
In high school, I settled on a quiet career choice: I would become a lawyer. However, when I was accepted into a pre-law program, I found the courses boring. That’s when a teacher said, “You could always get a science degree, and go back into law. ”
I took her advice and landed in the United States to study geology(地质学). Shortly thereafter, though, culture shock set in. I was not ready for the intense physical requirements of my field courses. One 6-week summer course required strenuous(费劲的)hikes, camping in extreme heat, and heavy lifting. My cultural upbringing had discouraged such “wild” activities and I had never gone on extended hikes or camps before. But other women in my program were an inspiration. I saw beauty in their strength, and I wanted to be like them.
By the end of my undergraduate degree, I had fully accepted my love of being a tough girl. And I’d given up on the idea of becoming a lawyer. My parents didn’t quite know what to make of my adventurous field life. But they were supportive when I told them about the change in my career direction.
I’m now a postdoc with years of experience collecting samples in challenging field environments, and I’m thankful I resisted the cultural expectations placed on me. My wild, steed-like spirit wasn’t something to suppress(压制). Instead, it led me to a career that’s a perfect fit for me.
24. What can we learn about the author in her childhood?
A. She was a quiet and shy girl.
B. She spent much time exploring the outdoors.
C. She brought misfortunes to her family.
D. She was encouraged to study hard.
25. What was the reason for the author studying geology?
A. The bright employment opportunity.
B. Her disappointment at the pre-law program courses.
C. Her desire to act against her cultural expectations.
D. The difficulty of getting a law degree.
26. What happened to the author when she started to learn geology?
A. She was not used to doing strenuous activities.
B. She was not interested in the field courses.
C. She was strongly opposed by her family.
D. She was looked down upon by other women.
27. Which of the following best describes the author’s parents?
A. Careful. B. Demanding.
C. Open-minded. D. Short-sighted.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者抵制了强加在她身上的文化期望,没有去压制被人们认为有碍她命运和家庭的狂野的、骏马般的灵魂,而是因这种灵魂,找到了最适合自己职业的经历。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Actually, when I was young, I loved exploring the mountainous trails behind our house, examining the various soil layers in nearby fields, and generally running wild outdoors.”(事实上,当我还小的时候,我喜欢在房子后面的山路上探险,研究附近田地里不同的土壤层,通常在户外狂野地奔跑。)可知,作者小时候花很多时间在户外探险。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, when I was accepted into a pre-law program, I found the courses boring. That’s when a teacher said, “You could always get a science degree, and go back into law. ””(然而,当我被法律预科项目录取时,我发现课程很无聊。就在那时,一位老师说:“你总是可以拿到一个科学学位,然后回到法律行业。”)和第四段“I took her advice and landed in the United States to study geology(地质学).”(我听从了她的建议,来到美国学习地质学。)可知,作者因为感到法律预科课程很无聊,对它很失望,所以才听从老师的建议,来到美国学习地质学。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“One 6-week summer course required strenuous(费劲的)hikes, camping in extreme heat, and heavy lifting. My cultural upbringing had discouraged such “wild” activities and I had never gone on extended hikes or camps before.”(一个为期六周的暑期课程需要艰苦的徒步旅行,在极热的环境中露营,以及搬运重物。我的文化背景不鼓励这种“狂野”的活动,我以前也从未进行过长距离的徒步旅行或露营。)可知,作者刚开始学习地质学时,并不适应这些艰苦的、高强度的活动。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“My parents didn’t quite know what to make of my adventurous field life. But they were supportive when I told them about the change in my career direction.”(我的父母不知道该如何看待我冒险的野外生活,但当我告诉他们我职业方向的改变时,他们很支持我。)可知,作者的父母思想开明,支持孩子的决定。故选C。
C
What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.
It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
28. What do people usually think of British food?
A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition.
C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation.
29. Which best describes cookery programme on British TV?
A. Authoritative. B. Creative. C. Profitable. D. Influential.
30. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?
A. 20%. B. 24%. C. 25%. D. 33%.
31. What might the author continue talking about?
A. The art of cooking in other countries. B. Male chefs on TV programmes.
C. Table manners in the UK. D. Studies of big eaters.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本篇是一篇说明文,介绍英国人在英国烹饪节目的影响下改变对烹饪的看法,并尝试新的烹饪习惯。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting?”(当你想到英国食物时,你会想到什么?你可能想到的是炸鱼薯条,或是一肉两菜的周日晚餐。但是,英国食物真的如此无趣吗?)可知,提及英国食物,大家往往只是想到炸鱼薯条和周日烤肉,所以人们通常会觉得英国食物平平无奇。故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits.”(正是由于电视上的这些大厨,而不是凭借广告宣传活动,英国人正在远离“一肉两菜”和速食餐,而变得更加愿意探索新的烹饪习惯。)和“It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.”(似乎电视节目帮助改变了人们对烹饪的看法。)可知,英国的烹饪节目能够改变英国人对烹饪的看法,尝试从传统的英式饮食走出来,尝试新的烹饪习惯,由此推知英国的烹饪节目具有很大的影响力。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before.”(几乎三分之一的人表示他们现在使用的配料比以前更多,将近四分之一的人表示他们现在购买的配料质量比以前更好。)可知,三分之一左右的人,也就是33%左右的人,使用的配料比以前更多。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句“With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.”(随着电视上出现越来越多男性厨师,男孩子喜欢烹饪不再是一件“不酷”的事了。)可知,接下来,文章应该具体介绍电视上的男性厨师,从而与上文形成语义连贯。故选B项。

Music Helps Relieve Dogs’ Stress
Next time your pet dog begins to breathe heavily and walk back and forth nervously in a thunderstorm, or when you have to go out for the whole day, you will realize that it is suffering from separation anxiety. At this point, you ought to think about playing some music for it, yet not just any random music. According to a new study reported in the journal Physiology & Behavior, dogs have a stronger preference for reggae music or soft rock than any other kind of music.
This study was done by a Scottish animal protection group. Workers played five different kinds of music for shelter dogs, such as classical music, light rock, reggae, pop and Motown. While the dogs listened to the music, workers checked their heart speed, stress levels and daily actions.
It turns out that dogs are also fond of Bob Marley’s music, just as we are when spending holidays on the beach. The results indicated that dogs felt less stressed when listening to soft rock or reggae. In contrast, their stress levels rose when they were listening to Motown music.
According to the study findings, researchers suggest that dog owners can play reggae or soft rock for their dogs when the animals are under great pressure. For dogs that first come to an animal shelter, the new environment can scare them, making them bark or tremble a lot. Similarly, pet dogs at home may feel terrified of loud noises when their owners are not at home.
This study also found that shelter dogs became more relaxed when listening to classical music — they barked less and lay down more often. Sadly, the study also showed that after seven straight days of listening to classical music, the dogs became restless again. This made researchers conclude that the animals had got accustomed to the music, or maybe they had grown tired of it. It was these earlier findings that pushed researchers to test different music types in the new study.
32. What did the researchers do in the study?
A. They tested how well dogs can hear.
B. They looked into dogs’ anxiety when being separated from their owners.
C. They did research on dogs’ daily living habits.
D. They kept track of dogs’ physical reactions to music.
33. How may the dogs react when listening to soft rock?
A. They got bored easily. B. They tended to be calmer.
C. They usually ate more food. D. They suffered a high stress level.
34. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Dogs love classical music the most.
B. Dogs living in shelters get upset easily.
C. Music can change dogs’ moods, but only for a little while.
D. The researchers are satisfied with their earlier results.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. How dog lovers comfort their dogs.
B. Advice about staying with a pet dog.
C. Why dogs should be free of anxiety.
D. A study on music’s influence on dogs.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了一项关于音乐对狗的压力缓解作用的研究,包括实验方法、结果及其意义。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“While the dogs listened to the music, workers checked their heart speed, stress levels and daily actions. (在狗听音乐的同时,工作人员检查了它们的心率、压力水平和日常行为)”可知,研究人员在研究中追踪了狗对音乐的生理反应。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The results indicated that dogs felt less stressed when listening to soft rock or reggae. (结果表明,狗在听轻柔摇滚或雷鬼音乐时感到压力较小)”可知,狗在听轻柔摇滚音乐时会感到的压力较小,可能会变得更平静。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Sadly, the study also showed that after seven straight days of listening to classical music, the dogs became restless again. This made researchers conclude that the animals had got accustomed to the music, or maybe they had grown tired of it. (令人难过的是,研究还表明,在连续七天听古典音乐后,狗再次变得焦躁不安。这使研究人员得出结论,这些动物已经习惯了这种音乐,或者可能已经厌倦了它)”可知,音乐可以改变狗的情绪,但只能持续一小段时间。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“According to a new study reported in the journal Physiology & Behavior, dogs have a stronger preference for reggae music or soft rock than any other kind of music. (根据发表在《生理学与行为》杂志上的一项新研究,狗对雷鬼音乐或轻柔摇滚音乐的偏好比其他任何类型的音乐都更强)”、第二段“This study was done by a Scottish animal protection group. Workers played five different kinds of music for shelter dogs... (这项研究是由苏格兰一个动物保护组织完成的。工作人员为收容所的狗播放了五种不同类型的音乐……)”和第三段“The results indicated that dogs felt less stressed when listening to soft rock or reggae. (结果表明,狗在听轻柔摇滚或雷鬼音乐时感到压力较小)”可知,文章主要介绍了研究人员关于音乐对狗的压力影响的一项研究。故D项“A study on music’s influence on dogs (一项关于音乐对狗影响的研究)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。

上文“If you have perfect vision, you probably don’t worry too much about eye health.(如果你有完美的视力,你可能不会太担心眼睛健康。)”提到了视力好的情况,下文“Therefore, you may find the following tips helpful in protecting your eyes.(因此,你可能会发现以下建议有助于保护你的眼睛。)”引出了接下来的一些保护眼睛的建议。由此可知,空处应当承上启下,陈述视力有问题的情况。F项中的However与上文形成转折,“vision problems can happen to anyone”讲述了任何人都可能有视力问题,符合题意。故选F。
【37题详解】
上文“Mainly, you want produce that contains vitamins A, C, and E, which can help prevent some diseases like cataracts. Look for dark-colored vegetables such as peppers and sweet potatoes.(大多数情况下,你需要含有维生素A、C和E的农产品,这有助于预防白内障等疾病。寻找深色蔬菜,如辣椒和红薯。)”推荐了含有维生素A、C和E的一些食物,再结合小标题“Eat for your eyes”可知,本段主要推荐吃对眼睛好的食物,所以空处应承接上文,提出另一些含有这些维生素的食物,C项中的“these nutrients”指代设上文中的“vitamins A, C, and E”,且“nuts and seeds”引出了新的食物选择。故选C。
【38题详解】
上文“To help reduce this strain, experts recommend following the 20-20-20 rules.(为了帮助减少这种压力,专家建议遵循20-20-20规则。)”引出了20-20-20规则,G项中的“something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes”照应上文中的20-20-20。故选G。
【39题详解】
上文“It’s always a good idea to wear something in situations that might put your eyes at risk, whether you’re playing sports or doing construction work. (无论你是在运动还是在做建筑工作,在可能危及眼睛的情况下戴个东西总是一个好主意。)”提到了做活动时有必要戴防护眼睛的东西,设空后的“so it can happen to anyone”提到每个人都可能出问题,所以空处应是给出能支撑下文结论的依据。E项“每天约有2 000人遭受与工作有关的眼部损伤”符合题意。故选E。
【40题详解】
上文“Other than looking cool, sunglasses protect your eyes from ultraviolet rays(紫外线).(除了看起来很酷之外,太阳镜还能保护你的眼睛免受紫外线的伤害。)”提到了太阳镜能后预防紫外线伤害眼睛,B项中的“Such radiations”与上文中的“ultraviolet rays”相照应。故选B。

【答案】
Good morning, everyone! I’m Li Hua. My topic is Protecting Cultural Relics.
Cultural relics carry historical memories and connect us to our roots, helping us understand our past and pass down unique cultures to future generations.
However, many relics are now in danger. Natural aging damages them gradually, while over-tourism brings unexpected man-made destruction, and some are even damaged by improper behavior.
As students, we can start with small acts. When visiting relic sites, we should follow rules and never scratch or touch them randomly. We can also spread knowledge about relic protection online to call on more people to join.
Cultural relics are priceless treasures. Let’s take action to protect them together!
Thank you for listening!

My Sixth-Grade Voice Change Experience
In sixth grade, I grew up and my voice changed. Sometimes it suddenly changed sound. The first time it happened, I was very shy. I thought others would laugh at me, because no one else had this kind of voice problem.
After that, I tried to stop it, so I almost didn’t speak in class. When I had to talk, I always cleaned my throat first. That made me less nervous. Only my friends noticed when my voice changed, and I was scared to do that in class.
Unluckily, the thing I worried about most finally happened. It was around the middle of the school year. I was happy I hadn’t had a bad voice change for a long time.
That day, I walked into the classroom and saw a new teacher. For some students, this was exciting, but for me, it was bad. I knew the new teacher would call the names. My old teacher never did that, because he knew every student’s seat.
I felt very nervous. I told myself I just needed to say “Here”.But when my name was called, I cleaned my throat, took a deep breath and said “Here!”—and my voice changed badly.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Before I realized it, all eyes were on me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A break finally came, and I stepped out of the classroom, feeling quite down.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Before I realized it, all eyes were on me. My face burned with embarrassment instantly, and I lowered my head tightly, too afraid to look up at anyone. I could feel my ears turning hot, waiting for bursts of laughter from my classmates. To my surprise, no one made fun of me at all. The new teacher just smiled gently at me and continued calling other names calmly. Some classmates even shot me warm comforting looks, which eased my awkwardness a little. I sat stiffly in my seat, still full of unease, wondering how I could get through the rest of the class.
A break finally came, and I stepped out of the classroom, feeling quite down. Just as I leaned against the wall in low spirits, my best friend came over to comfort me. She told me that voice change was a normal sign of growing up and everyone would go through it sooner or later. Later the teacher also found me and patiently explained this natural physical change to me. Gradually, I let go of my shyness and worry. From then on, I dared to speak freely and accepted this special change of myself bravely.

Food festivals happen frequently across the UK, popping up in all kinds of locations and throughout the year. No matter what you’re into, you’ll find a festival that fits — even the most particular tastes are covered.
Meatopia
This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end of August and is a meat lover’s paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products, from juicy burgers to tender steaks, attendees can listen to live music, watch butchery demonstrations, and attend informal meat-based workshops.
The National Honey Show
If you have a sweet tooth, then it could be that the National Honey Show, which started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind, is the place for you to be. This three-day event attracts many local entries who showcase their sweet golden honey, some of which is sold globally.
The Orange Sauce Festival
Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce? Held in Cumbria, this sweet, fragrant festival has been running for 3 years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe, bringing their local snacks to share here.
The Ginger and Spice Festival
If you’d prefer something with a little more kick to it, then you could attend The Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. Unlike other food festivals, it celebrates its town’s historic connection to Robert Clive, who returned from India with ginger. Because of this, they specialize in baking gingerbread, but also sell a range of traditional spices from mild to hot.

I was born in 1990-the year of the white horse. A girl born under this zodiac(生肖) is believed to have a wild, steed-like(骏马般的)spirit that will block her fortunes, bringing her family trouble. These beliefs were planted in my mind as a girl growing up in South Korea. I was repeatedly told to fight against my steed-like spirit and instead try being still, gentle, and quiet.
Actually, when I was young, I loved exploring the mountainous trails behind our house, examining the various soil layers in nearby fields, and generally running wild outdoors. I often returned home with soiled clothes.
In high school, I settled on a quiet career choice: I would become a lawyer. However, when I was accepted into a pre-law program, I found the courses boring. That’s when a teacher said, “You could always get a science degree, and go back into law. ”
I took her advice and landed in the United States to study geology(地质学). Shortly thereafter, though, culture shock set in. I was not ready for the intense physical requirements of my field courses. One 6-week summer course required strenuous(费劲的)hikes, camping in extreme heat, and heavy lifting. My cultural upbringing had discouraged such “wild” activities and I had never gone on extended hikes or camps before. But other women in my program were an inspiration. I saw beauty in their strength, and I wanted to be like them.
By the end of my undergraduate degree, I had fully accepted my love of being a tough girl. And I’d given up on the idea of becoming a lawyer. My parents didn’t quite know what to make of my adventurous field life. But they were supportive when I told them about the change in my career direction.
I’m now a postdoc with years of experience collecting samples in challenging field environments, and I’m thankful I resisted the cultural expectations placed on me. My wild, steed-like spirit wasn’t something to suppress(压制). Instead, it led me to a career that’s a perfect fit for me.
24. What can we learn about the author in her childhood?
A. She was a quiet and shy girl.
B. She spent much time exploring the outdoors.
C. She brought misfortunes to her family.
D. She was encouraged to study hard.
25. What was the reason for the author studying geology?
A. The bright employment opportunity.
B. Her disappointment at the pre-law program courses.
C. Her desire to act against her cultural expectations.
D. The difficulty of getting a law degree.
26. What happened to the author when she started to learn geology?
A. She was not used to doing strenuous activities.
B. She was not interested in the field courses.
C. She was strongly opposed by her family.
D. She was looked down upon by other women.
27. Which of the following best describes the author’s parents?
A. Careful. B. Demanding.
C. Open-minded. D. Short-sighted.
C
What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.
It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
28. What do people usually think of British food?
A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition.
C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation.
29. Which best describes cookery programme on British TV?
A. Authoritative. B. Creative. C. Profitable. D. Influential.
30. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?
A. 20%. B. 24%. C. 25%. D. 33%.
31. What might the author continue talking about?
A. The art of cooking in other countries. B. Male chefs on TV programmes.
C. Table manners in the UK. D. Studies of big eaters.

Music Helps Relieve Dogs’ Stress
Next time your pet dog begins to breathe heavily and walk back and forth nervously in a thunderstorm, or when you have to go out for the whole day, you will realize that it is suffering from separation anxiety. At this point, you ought to think about playing some music for it, yet not just any random music. According to a new study reported in the journal Physiology & Behavior, dogs have a stronger preference for reggae music or soft rock than any other kind of music.
This study was done by a Scottish animal protection group. Workers played five different kinds of music for shelter dogs, such as classical music, light rock, reggae, pop and Motown. While the dogs listened to the music, workers checked their heart speed, stress levels and daily actions.
It turns out that dogs are also fond of Bob Marley’s music, just as we are when spending holidays on the beach. The results indicated that dogs felt less stressed when listening to soft rock or reggae. In contrast, their stress levels rose when they were listening to Motown music.
According to the study findings, researchers suggest that dog owners can play reggae or soft rock for their dogs when the animals are under great pressure. For dogs that first come to an animal shelter, the new environment can scare them, making them bark or tremble a lot. Similarly, pet dogs at home may feel terrified of loud noises when their owners are not at home.
This study also found that shelter dogs became more relaxed when listening to classical music — they barked less and lay down more often. Sadly, the study also showed that after seven straight days of listening to classical music, the dogs became restless again. This made researchers conclude that the animals had got accustomed to the music, or maybe they had grown tired of it. It was these earlier findings that pushed researchers to test different music types in the new study.
32. What did the researchers do in the study?
A. They tested how well dogs can hear.
B. They looked into dogs’ anxiety when being separated from their owners.
C. They did research on dogs’ daily living habits.
D. They kept track of dogs’ physical reactions to music.
33. How may the dogs react when listening to soft rock?
A. They got bored easily. B. They tended to be calmer.
C. They usually ate more food. D. They suffered a high stress level.
34. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Dogs love classical music the most.
B. Dogs living in shelters get upset easily.
C. Music can change dogs’ moods, but only for a little while.
D. The researchers are satisfied with their earlier results.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. How dog lovers comfort their dogs.
B. Advice about staying with a pet dog.
C. Why dogs should be free of anxiety.
D. A study on music’s influence on dogs.

My Sixth-Grade Voice Change Experience
In sixth grade, I grew up and my voice changed. Sometimes it suddenly changed sound. The first time it happened, I was very shy. I thought others would laugh at me, because no one else had this kind of voice problem.
After that, I tried to stop it, so I almost didn’t speak in class. When I had to talk, I always cleaned my throat first. That made me less nervous. Only my friends noticed when my voice changed, and I was scared to do that in class.
Unluckily, the thing I worried about most finally happened. It was around the middle of the school year. I was happy I hadn’t had a bad voice change for a long time.
That day, I walked into the classroom and saw a new teacher. For some students, this was exciting, but for me, it was bad. I knew the new teacher would call the names. My old teacher never did that, because he knew every student’s seat.
I felt very nervous. I told myself I just needed to say “Here”.But when my name was called, I cleaned my throat, took a deep breath and said “Here!”—and my voice changed badly.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Before I realized it, all eyes were on me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A break finally came, and I stepped out of the classroom, feeling quite down.
