24、A 90-year-old tortoise (乌龟) is going twice its usual speed after being equipped (装备) with a set of wheels. The animal, called Mrs T, was facing a terrible future after losing her two front legs in a mouse attack while she was sleeping in winter, but her owners glued the wheels onto her shell (外壳).

“She’s going double the speed she used to,” said the owner Jude Ryder, “She uses her back legs to push herself along and seems quite happy.”

The 58-year-old owner was surprised when she went to check on her loved pet last month and found her front legs had been eaten in the mouse attack. The local animal doctor tried his best to save Mrs T. But he was afraid that the tortoise would not survive without being mobile. After paying £1,000 for the treatment, Mrs Ryder turned to her son Dale for help. Dale designed the front wheels and used resin (树脂) to add them to the front of the shell. Mrs Ryder said: “She liked them immediately, but she must learn how to turn and stop. She can get a good speed up, much faster than before. Mrs T is still quite young for a tortoise. She could go on for another 50 years. All she needs is a new set of tyres (轮胎) sometimes.”

When Mrs T was sixty years old, she was bought as a pet for Dale, an 8-year-old boy. It liked running happily in Mrs Ryder’s garden in spring and summer. When winter came, Mrs T slept in the garden shelter. A mouse got in last month and chewed (咬) off both her front legs. Mrs Ryder said: “We were afraid she would be sure to die, but her new set of wheels have saved her life. She can run in the garden again and we can always find her because she leaves very strange footprints behind wherever she goes.”

Mice attacking tortoises is not uncommon around us—in 2013 Britain’s oldest tortoise died after a mouse attack. The tortoise called Thomas was 130 when he was bitten at his home in Guernsey. He spent five days on strong antibiotics (抗生素), but the wound became so infected (被感染的) that his owner had no choice but to have him put to sleep.

A. her back legs to push herself

B. her front legs to pull herself

C. her back wheels to pull herself

D. her front wheels to push herself

【2】According to the passage, Mrs Ryder’s son is about .

A. 8 years old   B. 28 years old

C. 38 years old D. 58 years old

【3】Which of the following shows the right order of the story?

a. A mouse chewed off Mrs T’s two front legs.

b. Mrs T’s owners glued the wheels onto her shell.

c. Mrs T learned how to turn and stop with equipped wheels.

d. The local animal doctor tried his best to treat Mrs T.

e. Mrs T was bought as a pet for Dale when she was sixty.

A. e-a-b-c-d B. a-b-c-d-e

C. a-e-b-c-d D. e-a-d-b-c

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Mrs Ryder is able to move much faster than before.

B. Tortoises attacking mice is not uncommon around us.

C. The animal doctor added the front wheels to the shell.

D. Mrs T can go faster after being equipped with wheels.

26、There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. ① The relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has special characteristics that make it different from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy(等级) of responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.

Marina, 27 years old, said, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! ② Best friend don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying.

While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. ③ Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.

Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unlucky reason they aren’t speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. ④ There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well-being.

The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mothers always “trump(胜过)” friends.

【1】What do we know from the text?

A．The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.

B．A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.

C．The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.

D．Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.

【2】Which blank should the sentence “The relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing(令人困惑的)”be put in?

A．①

B．②

C．③

D．④

【3】How does the author mainly prove his statements?

A．By listing numbers.

B．By giving explanations.

C．By using sayings.

D．By giving examples.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．How to Be a Good Mother and Daughter?

B．Who Is a Mother’s Best Friend?

C．Mothers or Friends?

D．Can a Mother Be a Daughter’s Best Friend?

27、

Otters（水獭）are cute water animals. These days, keeping otters as pets is getting popular. In Japan, some “otter cafés（咖啡馆）”are open for business. People can pay to play with the otters there and to take photos with them. In Indonesia, people go swimming with their pet otters and take funny videos. These photos and videos posted online have interested more people to buy otters as pets. However, these enjoyable photos and videos hide the damage（损害）that the online trade is doing to otters. In fact, wild otters are facing many dangers-they have long been hunted（猎杀）for their coats; in some places, fishermen have been killing otters in order to stop them from eating fish; and now, the online pet trade has become another big problem for otters.

In the wild, baby otters usually stay with their mothers during their first year of life. According to a report, 70% of the otters sold online are under one year old. These baby otters have been stolen from their mothers.

Otters are very social. They live in family groups of up to 15 in the wild. Keeping an otter as a pet can make it very sad and lonely. When they swim, they need enough space. Their owners’ bathtubs（浴缸）or pools are nowhere near as large as the bodies of water in the wild.

On the other hand, otters simply don’t make good pets. They have a very special fishy smell. If they are kept indoors, they will leave a lot of waste around the house. This would make the smell even more unpleasant. Besides, when otters are unhappy, they will make loud noises and even attack（攻击）people. If a person is hurt by an otter, he or she needs to go to hospital at once.

So, we should stop the otter trade and never share photos and videos about them online.

【1】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A．Different kinds of otters.

B．The advantages of playing with otters.

C．The ways of buying otters online.

【2】Wild otters are facing the following dangers EXCEPT

A．people kill otters for their coats

B．people buy and sell them online

C．people kill them to eat their meat

D．people kill them to stop them from eatingfish

【3】What do we know about otters in the wild?

A．Most otters sold online are just one year old.

B．They like to live in family groups.

C．They don’t need enough space while swimming.

D．Baby otters never stay with their mothers.

【4】Why don’t otters make good pets?

a. They may attack people.

b. They may make loud noises.

c. They have a special fishy smell.

d. They need to go to hospital often.

A．a,b,c

B．a,b,d

C．a,c,d

D．b,c,d

【5】What is the writer’s main purpose of writing the text?

A．To introduce the otters’ life to us.

D．To tell us otters are endangered animals.

28、When you go to another country, you should learn to speak the language. This isn’t something you can do with just a dictionary and a g【1】 book. Allow me to explain.

Words don’t always have their literal meaning. When I went to Japan for the first time, I knew that Japanese word for “yes” is hai, I went to d【2】 an important business issue. At the e【3】 of the meeting, I summarized my plan and asked my Japanese colleague, “Do you agree?” He answered with hai. That night I called my boss and told him that Japanese company was r【4】 to go ahead with the plan. The next day I had to tell my boss that this wasn’t t【5】. It turns out that the Japanese often use hai to mean “I’ve heard you. I understand.”

Gestures are w【6】 than words. When my plane arrived in Sofia, I was tired. So I was happy that a taxi was right there. “OK?” I asked, o【7】 the door. The taxi driver moved his head up and down, so I jumped in. “Downtown, please. OK?” I said. The taxi driver nodded again, but n【8】 happened. Finally, I became a【9】 and jumped out. Guess what? In Bulgaria moving your head up and down means “No” and s【10】your head from side to side means “Yes”.
