Waikiki Beach This famous two-mile stretch of sand is home to scores of family-friendly beach hotels and all kinds of action-packed excitement. Waikiki Beach is the perfect place to go if you’re looking for warm ocean water and golden beaches. Kids will enjoy walking along the beach, stopping for shaved ice or an ice cream and taking a dip in a safe area of the ocean. Oahu’s North Shore Some of the tallest ocean waves in the world are found at Oahu, Hawaii’s North Shore coastline, during the winter months. These crashing walls of water are born for surfing and offer one of the best free shows on the islands. The North Shore is home to world-class surf contests, attracting the world’s top surfers. Polynesian Cultural Centre Nothing appeals to the whole family like Hawaiian past coming alive. Besides, the colourful costumes, lively songs, and traditional dances in the Pacific region are presented here. You’ll see customs of Fiji, New Zealand, Marquesas, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, and Hawaii all represented in Polynesian Cultural Centre’s re-created island villages, which are decorated with palm trees and tropical gardens. Waimea Canyon State Park More than 3,500 feet deep, this landmark on Hawaii’s island of Kauai is the largest canyon in the Pacific. Unlike Grand Canyon, plentiful rain keeps Waimea Canyon and its surrounding area thick with vegetation, and visitors are frequently treated to the sight of vivid rainbows. It offers a great canyon view and a covered picnic area. 1. What makes Oahu’s North Shore known to the world? A. Its best free cultural shows. B. Its ocean waves for surfing. C.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了夏威夷四个适合家庭度假的地方：威基基海滩、欧胡岛北岸、波利尼西亚文化中心和怀梅阿峡谷州立公园，各自特色鲜明。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The North Shore is home to world-class surf contests, attracting the world’s top surfers. (北岸是世界级冲浪比赛的举办地，吸引着世界顶尖冲浪选手)”可知，欧胡岛北岸以冲浪海浪闻名世界。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“You’ll see customs of Fiji, New Zealand, Marquesas, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, and Hawaii all represented in Polynesian Cultural Centre’s re-created island villages. (在波利尼西亚文化中心重建的岛屿村落里，你可以看到斐济、新西兰、马克萨斯、萨摩亚、塔希提、汤加和夏威夷的风俗展示)”可知，对历史和传统文化感兴趣的人最可能被波利尼西亚文化中心吸引。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Unlike Grand Canyon, plentiful rain keeps Waimea Canyon and its surrounding area thick with vegetation, and visitors are frequently treated to the sight of vivid rainbows. (与大峡谷不同，充沛的降雨使怀梅阿峡谷及其周边地区植被茂密，游客们还常常能欣赏到鲜艳的彩虹)”可知，与科罗拉多大峡谷相比，怀梅阿峡谷的特别之处在于充沛的降雨和茂密的植物。 B From the deserts of Southern California to the forests of Alaska, the U.S. possesses a diversity of nature. For most of her life, Joy Ryan never saw the scenery beyond her home state of Ohio. Then, when she was in her mid-eighties, her grandson Brad Ryan decided to take her on a journey to all of the U.S. National Parks, which took eight years to complete. At the age of 93, Grandma Joy has finally seen all 63 parks, ending her journey in the National Park of American Samoa. “When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America – deserts, mountains, oceans, I decided to intervene (干预) in some way,” Brad says. This idea sparked their first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. However, once they were on the road, Brad realised that they could visit more parks that were nearby. Over the years, they managed to see all of the famous sights at Yosemite, the Redwoods, and so on. But Brad values the time spent with his grandmother just as much as the breathtaking places they were able to visit. Despite Grandma Joy’s older age, she was able to hike mountains. Brad regards her love for life as the key to her good health. She is grateful for each new day and is always excited for the next journey. Finally, their long journey across the U.S. came to an end with American Samoa. “It’s about 6,700 miles from Ohio, where we live,” Brad explains. “We can enjoy the beach and the beautiful tropical paradise. But as we’ve learned from the rangers that work there, American Samoa is an island community firmly rooted in family. And I think that there’s a bit of a poetic beauty to ending it there, too.” “I am thankful every morning for giving me another day,” Grandma Joy shares. “And it is your choice whether you’re going to have a rainy day or a sunny day. So, smile at everybody, and let everybody know you’re having a whale of a time.” While her tour of the U.S. has come to a close, she and her grandson are not done traveling. Next up, they have their sights set on Kenya. 4. Why did Brad decide to travel across America with his grandma? A. To celebrate Grandma Joy’s 93rd birthday. B. To complete a task he promised Grandma Joy. C. To enrich Grandma Joy’s travelling experiences. D. To realise Grandma Joy’s dream of visiting parks. 5. Which of the following best describes their tour in Brad’s eyes? A. Free and adventurous. B. Tiring but educational. C. Stressful but eye-opening. D. Amazing and worthwhile. 6. What impressed Brad and Joy most about American Samoa? A. The friendly locals. B. The family bond. C. The special culture. D. The beautiful sights. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Stay Curious, Stay Young B. It’s Never too Old to Hit the Road C. Laughter is the Best Medicine D. Travelling Contributes to Long Life 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述80多岁的Joy奶奶在孙子Brad陪伴下，历时八年走遍美国63个国家公园，在美属萨摩亚完成旅程，二人还计划去肯尼亚旅行。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“'When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America – deserts, mountains, oceans, I decided to intervene (干预) in some way,' Brad says. This idea sparked their first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains.(布拉德说：当我得知她从未见过美国壮丽的荒野——沙漠、群山、海洋，我决定用某种方式做点什么。这个想法开启了他们前往大雾山的第一次旅行)”可知，Brad想丰富奶奶的旅行阅历。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But Brad values the time spent with his grandmother just as much as the breathtaking places they were able to visit.(但是布拉德珍惜和奶奶相伴的时光，就像珍惜他们游览过的令人惊叹的美景一样)”可知，在Brad眼中这次旅途精彩且值得。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But as we’ve learned from the rangers that work there, American Samoa is an island community firmly rooted in family. And I think that there’s a bit of a poetic beauty to ending it there, too.(但我们从当地护林员那里了解到，美属萨摩亚是一个深深扎根于家庭的岛屿社群。我觉得在那里结束旅程也带有一种诗意之美)”可知，美属萨摩亚的家庭纽带打动了他们。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Then, when she was in her mid-eighties, her grandson Brad Ryan decided to take her on a journey to all of the U.S. National Parks, which took eight years to complete. At the age of 93, Grandma Joy has finally seen all 63 parks, ending her journey in the National Park of American Samoa.(后来，当她年过八旬时，她的孙子布拉德·瑞安决定带她环游美国所有国家公园，这一旅程历时八年。93岁的乔伊奶奶终于走遍了全部63个公园，最终在美属萨摩亚国家公园结束了她的旅程)”以及全文讲述高龄Joy奶奶和孙子历时八年走遍美国全部国家公园的故事，体现年纪再大也可以踏上旅途。B选项“年纪再大，踏上旅途也为时不晚”最符合文章标题。 C Self-driving cars are just around the corner. Such vehicles will make getting from one place to another safer and less stressful. They also could cut down on traffic, reduce pollution and limit accidents. But how should driverless cars handle emergencies? People disagree on the answer. And that might put the brakes on this technology, a new study concludes. To understand the challenge, imagine a car that suddenly meets some pedestrians in the road. Even with braking, it’s too late to avoid a crash. So, the car’s artificial intelligence must decide whether to swerve (急转弯). To save the pedestrians, should the car swerve off the road or swerve into oncoming traffic? What if such options would likely kill the car’s passengers? Researchers used online surveys to study people’s attitudes about such situations with driverless cars. Survey participants mostly agreed that driverless cars should be designed to protect the most people. That included swerving into walls (or otherwise sacrificing their passengers) to save a larger number of pedestrians. But there is a dilemma. Those same surveyed people want to ride in cars that protect passengers at all costs — even if the pedestrians would now end up dying. Jean Bonnefon is a psychologist at the Toulouse School of Economics in France. He and his colleagues reported their findings in Science. “Autonomous cars can completely change transportation”, says study co-author Iyad Rahwan. But, he adds, this new technology creates a moral dilemma that could slow its acceptance. “Makers of driverless cars are in a tough spot,” Bonnefon’s group warns. Most buyers would want their car to be programmed to protect them in preference to other people. However, regulations might one day instruct that cars must act for the greater good. That would mean saving the most people. But the scientists think rules like this could drive away buyers. If so, all the potential benefits of driverless cars would be lost. “Compromises (折中) might be possible,” Kurt Gray says. He is a psychologist at the University of North Carolina. He thinks that even if all driverless cars are programmed to protect their passengers in emergencies, traffic accidents will decrease. Those vehicles might be dangerous to pedestrians on rare occasions. But they “won’t speed, won’t drive drunk and won’t text while driving, which would be a win for society”. 8. What is the challenge facing self-driving cars? A. How self-driving cars reduce accidents. B. The technical problems that self-driving cars have. C. How self-driving cars handle emergencies. D. People’s negative attitudes towards self-driving cars. 9. What can we learn about self-driving cars from the text? A. Quick decisions are required for self-driving cars’ AI. B. People are in a difficult situation about self-driving cars. C. The potential benefits of self-driving cars are ignored by buyers. D. Self-driving cars are supposed to protect passengers at any price. 10. What is Kurt Gray’s attitude toward self-driving cars? A. Favourable. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Neutral. 11. What would be the best title for the passage? A. People Disagree on the Future of Driverless Cars B. Driverless Cars are Revolutionising Transportation C. New Regulations Have Great Influence on Driverless Cars D. Moral Dilemma Could Limit the Appeal of Driverless Cars 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了自动驾驶汽车即将到来，但它在处理紧急情况时面临道德两难困境，该困境可能会影响人们对自动驾驶汽车的接受度，同时专家也提出了相关折中看法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But how should driverless cars handle emergencies? People disagree on the answer. And that might put the brakes on this technology, a new study concludes.(但是无人驾驶汽车应当如何处理紧急情况？人们对此答案持不同意见。一项新研究得出结论，这可能会阻碍这项技术的发展。)”可知，自动驾驶汽车面临的难题是如何处理紧急情况。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Survey participants mostly agreed that driverless cars should be designed to protect the most people. That included swerving into walls (or otherwise sacrificing their passengers) to save a larger number of pedestrians. But there is a dilemma. Those same surveyed people want to ride in cars that protect passengers at all costs — even if the pedestrians would now end up dying.(调查参与者大多认同，无人驾驶汽车在设计上应当保护最多人的生命。这其中就包括为拯救更多行人而撞向墙壁（或以其他方式牺牲车内乘客）。但这里存在一个两难困境：接受调查的这批人，却又希望自己乘坐的车辆不惜一切代价保护乘客——即便这样会导致行人丧生。)”可知，人们对于无人驾驶汽车的设计理念有着矛盾的想法。由此推知，人们在对待无人驾驶汽车这件事上陷入了进退两难的境地。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“He thinks that even if all driverless cars are programmed to protect their passengers in emergencies, traffic accidents will decrease. Those vehicles might be dangerous to pedestrians on rare occasions. But they “won’t speed, won’t drive drunk and won’t text while driving, which would be a win for society”.(他认为，即便所有无人驾驶汽车在程序设定上都要求在紧急情况下优先保护车内乘客，交通事故数量依然会下降。这类车辆在极少数情况下可能会对行人造成危险。但它们“不会超速、不会酒驾，也不会开车时发短信，这对整个社会来说是一个胜利”。)”可知，Kurt Gray认可无人驾驶汽车带来的社会益处。由此推知，他对无人驾驶汽车持支持的态度。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章先介绍自动驾驶汽车的优势，又举例说明它在紧急状况下的决策难题，接着通过调查展现人们矛盾的态度。然后在第四段引出全文主旨句“But, he adds, this new technology creates a moral dilemma that could slow its acceptance.(但是，他补充道，这项新技术造成的道德两难困境可能会减缓人们对它的接受速度。)”，后文围绕它介绍了该道德困境带来的现实矛盾以及专家提出的折中方案。选项D“道德两难困境可能会降低无人驾驶汽车的吸引力”能涵盖本文的主旨，适合作本文的标题。 D Imagine the sound of a dog walking across a tile floor, the “click, click, click” of its claws tapping against the ground. Now, imagine a cat walking across the same floor — the difference is the cat moves in total silence. Cats can fully retract (缩回) their claws, giving them superior ability to remain in silence. But why do cats have retractable claws, whereas dogs do not? It all comes down to how cats and dogs use their claws. Cats use their claws primarily to attack their target, said Anthony Russell, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. They use their front claws to grab and hold on to their target and their back claws to cut open the target’s belly. Cats need to keep their claws sharp to secure that next meal. Extended all the time, their claws would get less sharp as they scrape the ground, much like how a nail file deals with sharp points on a human fingernail. Dogs, on the other hand, are social hunters. They work in groups to take down larger animals, wearing their target out over longer distances. For dogs, “if you’re hunting a moose or something, you wander along for kilometres and bite it until it is fatigued, and then you all jump on it,” Russell said. “Whereas cats essentially have a short burst, and then it’s over. Either the target gets away, or the target is captured.” With more hunters working together, it’s less important for dogs to be able to grab and hold onto their target, so they don’t have to keep their claws as sharp. Sheer numbers are enough to give them the advantage. But dogs’ claws aren’t completely useless. Dogs’ claws help them stand firmly on the earth and change directions quickly — a useful adaptation for pursuing targets over long distances. In nature’s silent dance, cats’ retractable claws are knives for quick attacks, while dogs’ strong claws make them good chasers. Each claw tells a tale of adaptation made to their unique hunting styles. 12. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An animal novel. B. A scientific report. C. A zoology magazine. D. A pet keeping guide. 13. What does the underlined word “fatigued” in the 5th paragraph mean? A. Hungry. B. Scared. C. Wounded. D. Exhausted. 14. Which statement would Anthony Russell probably agree with? A. Cats use front claws to grab and kill the target. B. Dogs use claws to attack and wear their targets out. C. Cats stop hunting if the target escapes from the first attack. D. Dogs work together to capture their targets in a shorter time. 15. What does the author want to show by comparing animals’ claws? A. Cats are better adapted to hunting than dogs. B. Claws are more important for cats than for dogs. C. The sharper the claws, the more efficient the hunt. D. Cats and dogs find different ways to survive in nature. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文从进化与捕猎方式角度解释猫的爪子可以收缩而狗不能的原因，表明二者爪子的特点都是适配各自独特捕猎模式的进化结果。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But why do cats have retractable claws, whereas dogs do not?(但是为什么猫有可伸缩的爪子，而狗没有？)”并结合全文，文章科普猫狗爪子的进化差异与捕猎习性，属于动物科普内容，由此可推断文章最可能出自动物学杂志。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“They work in groups to take down larger animals, wearing their target out over longer distances.(它们成群协作制服大型动物，通过较长距离消耗猎物)”和“if you’re hunting a moose or something, you wander along for kilometres and bite it until it is fatigued(如果你在捕猎一头驼鹿之类的动物，你要跑数公里，撕咬它，直到它fatigued)”可知，狗通过长时间追逐撕咬使猎物疲惫。fatigued意为“疲惫的”，与exhausted意思相近。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Whereas cats essentially have a short burst, and then it’s over. Either the target gets away, or the target is captured.(然而猫基本上是短暂突袭，然后捕猎就结束。猎物要么逃脱，要么被捕获)”可推知，如果猎物躲过猫的首轮袭击，猫就会放弃这次捕猎。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In nature’s silent dance, cats’ retractable claws are knives for quick attacks, while dogs’ strong claws make them good chasers. Each claw tells a tale of adaptation made to their unique hunting styles.(在大自然无声的舞蹈中，猫可收缩的爪子是快速袭击的利刃，而狗结实的爪子让它们成为优秀的追逐者。每一种爪子都讲述着为适配各自独特捕猎方式而做出改变的故事)”可知，作者对比爪子是为表明猫和狗演化出不同的生存捕猎方式。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news.

Waikiki Beach This famous two-mile stretch of sand is home to scores of family-friendly beach hotels and all kinds of action-packed excitement. Waikiki Beach is the perfect place to go if you’re looking for warm ocean water and golden beaches. Kids will enjoy walking along the beach, stopping for shaved ice or an ice cream and taking a dip in a safe area of the ocean. Oahu’s North Shore Some of the tallest ocean waves in the world are found at Oahu, Hawaii’s North Shore coastline, during the winter months. These crashing walls of water are born for surfing and offer one of the best free shows on the islands. The North Shore is home to world-class surf contests, attracting the world’s top surfers. Polynesian Cultural Centre Nothing appeals to the whole family like Hawaiian past coming alive. Besides, the colourful costumes, lively songs, and traditional dances in the Pacific region are presented here. You’ll see customs of Fiji, New Zealand, Marquesas, Samoa, Tahiti, Tonga, and Hawaii all represented in Polynesian Cultural Centre’s re-created island villages, which are decorated with palm trees and tropical gardens. Waimea Canyon State Park More than 3,500 feet deep, this landmark on Hawaii’s island of Kauai is the largest canyon in the Pacific. Unlike Grand Canyon, plentiful rain keeps Waimea Canyon and its surrounding area thick with vegetation, and visitors are frequently treated to the sight of vivid rainbows.

For most of her life, Joy Ryan never saw the scenery beyond her home state of Ohio. Then, when she was in her mid-eighties, her grandson Brad Ryan decided to take her on a journey to all of the U.S. National Parks, which took eight years to complete. At the age of 93, Grandma Joy has finally seen all 63 parks, ending her journey in the National Park of American Samoa. “When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America – deserts, mountains, oceans, I decided to intervene (干预) in some way,” Brad says. This idea sparked their first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. However, once they were on the road, Brad realised that they could visit more parks that were nearby. Over the years, they managed to see all of the famous sights at Yosemite, the Redwoods, and so on. But Brad values the time spent with his grandmother just as much as the breathtaking places they were able to visit. Despite Grandma Joy’s older age, she was able to hike mountains. Brad regards her love for life as the key to her good health. She is grateful for each new day and is always excited for the next journey. Finally, their long journey across the U.S. came to an end with American Samoa. “It’s about 6,700 miles from Ohio, where we live,” Brad explains. “We can enjoy the beach and the beautiful tropical paradise. But as we’ve learned from the rangers that work there, American Samoa is an island community firmly rooted in family. And I think that there’s a bit of a poetic beauty to ending it there, too.” “I am thankful every morning for giving me another day,” Grandma Joy shares. “And it is your choice whether you’re going to have a rainy day or a sunny day. So, smile at everybody, and let everybody know you’re having a whale of a time.” While her tour of the U.S. has come to a close, she and her grandson are not done traveling. Next up, they have their sights set on Kenya. 4. Why did Brad decide to travel across America with his grandma? A. To celebrate Grandma Joy’s 93rd birthday. B. To complete a task he promised Grandma Joy. C. To enrich Grandma Joy’s travelling experiences. D. To realise Grandma Joy’s dream of visiting parks. 5. Which of the following best describes their tour in Brad’s eyes? A. Free and adventurous. B. Tiring but educational. C. Stressful but eye-opening. D. Amazing and worthwhile. 6. What impressed Brad and Joy most about American Samoa? A. The friendly locals. B. The family bond. C. The special culture. D. The beautiful sights. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Stay Curious, Stay Young B. It’s Never too Old to Hit the Road C. Laughter is the Best Medicine D. Travelling Contributes to Long Life C Self-driving cars are just around the corner. Such vehicles will make getting from one place to another safer and less stressful. They also could cut down on traffic, reduce pollution and limit accidents. But how should driverless cars handle emergencies? People disagree on the answer. And that might put the brakes on this technology, a new study concludes. To understand the challenge, imagine a car that suddenly meets some pedestrians in the road. Even with braking, it’s too late to avoid a crash. So, the car’s artificial intelligence must decide whether to swerve (急转弯). To save the pedestrians, should the car swerve off the road or swerve into oncoming traffic? What if such options would likely kill the car’s passengers? Researchers used online surveys to study people’s attitudes about such situations with driverless cars. Survey participants mostly agreed that driverless cars should be designed to protect the most people. That included swerving into walls (or otherwise sacrificing their passengers) to save a larger number of pedestrians. But there is a dilemma. Those same surveyed people want to ride in cars that protect passengers at all costs — even if the pedestrians would now end up dying. Jean Bonnefon is a psychologist at the Toulouse School of Economics in France. He and his colleagues reported their findings in Science. “Autonomous cars can completely change transportation”, says study co-author Iyad Rahwan. But, he adds, this new technology creates a moral dilemma that could slow its acceptance. “Makers of driverless cars are in a tough spot,” Bonnefon’s group warns. Most buyers would want their car to be programmed to protect them in preference to other people. However, regulations might one day instruct that cars must act for the greater good. That would mean saving the most people. But the scientists think rules like this could drive away buyers. If so, all the potential benefits of driverless cars would be lost. “Compromises (折中) might be possible,” Kurt Gray says. He is a psychologist at the University of North Carolina. He thinks that even if all driverless cars are programmed to protect their passengers in emergencies, traffic accidents will decrease. Those vehicles might be dangerous to pedestrians on rare occasions. But they “won’t speed, won’t drive drunk and won’t text while driving, which would be a win for society”. 8. What is the challenge facing self-driving cars? A. How self-driving cars reduce accidents. B. The technical problems that self-driving cars have. C. How self-driving cars handle emergencies. D. People’s negative attitudes towards self-driving cars. 9. What can we learn about self-driving cars from the text? A. Quick decisions are required for self-driving cars’ AI. B. People are in a difficult situation about self-driving cars. C. The potential benefits of self-driving cars are ignored by buyers. D. Self-driving cars are supposed to protect passengers at any price. 10. What is Kurt Gray’s attitude toward self-driving cars? A. Favourable. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Neutral. 11. What would be the best title for the passage? A. People Disagree on the Future of Driverless Cars B. Driverless Cars are Revolutionising Transportation C. New Regulations Have Great Influence on Driverless Cars D. Moral Dilemma Could Limit the Appeal of Driverless Cars D Imagine the sound of a dog walking across a tile floor, the “click, click, click” of its claws tapping against the ground. Now, imagine a cat walking across the same floor — the difference is the cat moves in total silence. Cats can fully retract (缩回) their claws, giving them superior ability to remain in silence. But why do cats have retractable claws, whereas dogs do not? It all comes down to how cats and dogs use their claws. Cats use their claws primarily to attack their target, said Anthony Russell, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. They use their front claws to grab and hold on to their target and their back claws to cut open the target’s belly. Cats need to keep their claws sharp to secure that next meal. Extended all the time, their claws would get less sharp as they scrape the ground, much like how a nail file deals with sharp points on a human fingernail. Dogs, on the other hand, are social hunters. They work in groups to take down larger animals, wearing their target out over longer distances. For dogs, “if you’re hunting a moose or something, you wander along for kilometres and bite it until it is fatigued, and then you all jump on it,” Russell said. “Whereas cats essentially have a short burst, and then it’s over. Either the target gets away, or the target is captured.” With more hunters working together, it’s less important for dogs to be able to grab and hold onto their target, so they don’t have to keep their claws as sharp. Sheer numbers are enough to give them the advantage. But dogs’ claws aren’t completely useless. Dogs’ claws help them stand firmly on the earth and change directions quickly — a useful adaptation for pursuing targets over long distances. In nature’s silent dance, cats’ retractable claws are knives for quick attacks, while dogs’ strong claws make them good chasers. Each claw tells a tale of adaptation made to their unique hunting styles. 12. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An animal novel. B. A scientific report. C. A zoology magazine. D. A pet keeping guide. 13. What does the underlined word “fatigued” in the 5th paragraph mean? A. Hungry. B. Scared. C. Wounded. D. Exhausted. 14. Which statement would Anthony Russell probably agree with? A. Cats use front claws to grab and kill the target. B. Dogs use claws to attack and wear their targets out. C. Cats stop hunting if the target escapes from the first attack. D. Dogs work together to capture their targets in a shorter time. 15. What does the author want to show by comparing animals’ claws? A. Cats are better adapted to hunting than dogs. B. Claws are more important for cats than for dogs. C. The sharper the claws, the more efficient the hunt. D. Cats and dogs find different ways to survive in nature. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s no secret that reading good news feels a lot better than reading bad news.
