Lost Cat Returned To Owner 12 Years Later
April 3, 2014 – Linda Edwards of Las Vegas, Nevada is full of happiness because her long lost cat Spaz has been returned to her – 12 years after he first went missing! Spaz first went missing in 2002 and Edwards looked for him every day for three months. She searched all around her town and even wrote letters to some newspapers for help and was never able to find him. At the end of the three months, on New Year’s Eve of 2002 her searching stopped. But someone recently discovered a dirty, thin stray cat (流浪猫) and took him into a West Flamingo Animal Hospital. The people working in the hospital checked the cat and were sure enough that his name was Spaz and he belonged to Edwards! “An old lady found a kitty on Sunday and brought him here. We scanned (扫描) him for a microchip (微芯片) and we were able to find out his owner. The kitty, whose name is Spaz, has been missing for 12 years!” the animal hospital wrote on their Facebook page early last week. Microchipping pets is a way to recognize if a stray animal belongs to anyone who could be missing them. Microchipping pets allows animal services to learn if they have a family waiting for them. Microchips are only about the size of a grain of rice and can only be removed by operation. Edwards is very thankful she had Spaz microchipped and was so excited to get him back! “I feel like I have a second chance,” she said. “This would have never happened if it weren’t for microchips.” 小题1:The cat got lost ______.A.three months ago | B.12 years ago | C.on April 3, 2014 | D.on New Year’s Eve, 2002 | 小题2:After the hospital checked the cat, they knew ______.A.its feeling | B.its hobby | C.its stray life | D.its owner’s name | 小题3:______ make(s) it possible for owners to find their lost pets.A.The microchip | B.Animal hospitals | C.The newspaper | D.Family members |

Snake dishes have become popular in recent years. Snake meat is often seen in restaurants. It seems that eating snakes is now in fashion, and if you ( A ) ___________ (not eat) any snakes yet, you’re considered out-of-date. But I wonder whether it is worth following. Some people think that eating snake meat is good for their health. But these people don’t know that snakes usually eat mice and worms. Therefore, there are many parasites(寄生虫)found inside snakes’ bodies. ( B ) 它们可能对我们的健康有害。 Apart from this, we’re sorry to see that more snakes are being killed by a butcher’s knife. According to the newspaper, Shanghai Star, about 1,000 tons of snakes are eaten by people every year in China. In Shenzhen of Guangdong Province, sometimes as many as 10 tons of snakes are served on dinner tables in a single day. ( C ) If we still turn a blind eye to this, a vicious circle(恶性循环)will be created — if more snakes are eaten by people, the number of snakes will drop, and the number of mice will increase, which will result in a decrease in crop output. This will make more people hungry. Who wants to see such a tragedy? ( D ) Therefore, let’s not eat snakes any more! To protect the snakes is to protect ourselves. 小题1:用 ( A ) 处所给词的正确形式填空。 ________________________ 小题2:将 ( B ) 处的句子翻译成英语。 ___________________________________________________________________________________ 小题3:将 ( C ) 处翻译成汉语。 __________________________________________________________________________________ 小题4:改写 ( D ) 处的句子,句意不变。 Therefore, let’s ___________ ____________ eating snakes! 小题5:根据短文内容回答问题: What will happen if people eat more snakes? ____________________________________________________ |

The largest animal ever to live on Earth is the blue whale(鲸鱼). It weighs(重) about 80 tons-more than 24 big elephants. It is more than 30 metres long. A new baby whale weighs as much as a big elephant. Cats won"t die if they fall off very high places because they can turn themselves up the right way so as to keep their bodies safe. One cat fell off 32 floors onto the street, but it was just hurt a little. A bear can run as fast as a horse. A new-born panda is smaller than a mouse and weighs about 100 grams. Elephants are the most careful animals in their love. A male(雄性) elephant may show his lady love for up to three years until the female(雌性) elephant takes his love. They often show their love by touching each other"s body. Usually, wolves do not hurt people. For years a Canadian newspaper says that they would give anyone a lot of money if he or she could show that a wolf could hurt a person. But nobody could do that. Wolves do not usually go together though(尽管) they may do this in winter and they only hurt people at an unusual time. 小题1:How much does a new-born blue whale weigh?A.About 10 tons | B.As much as a baby elephant | C.About 80 tons | D.About 3 tons | 小题2:A bear can run_______people think they can.A.faster than | B.slower than | C.as fast as | D.as slowly as | 小题3:How many kinds of animals are mentioned(提到) in this passage?A.Five | B.Six | C.Seven | D.Eight |
