21、A Norfolk sheepdog named Peggy spent most of her life working on a farm and helping her human herd animals from place to place. She was great at her job, which requires keen intelligence and the ability to listen to a shepherd’s signals. But everything changed when Peggy suddenly went deaf for unknown reasons.
Peggy was sent to an animal shelter in 2018. With the shelter full, staffers tried to find a foster family for her to spend the holidays with. Thankfully, animal welfare manager Chloe Shorten stepped up to take her in! “We decided she could stay with us temporarily while we found somewhere more permanent to take her in, but we completely fell in love with her almost immediately and it soon became clear that she wouldn’t be going anywhere!” Chloe said. “She was greasy and out of condition, untrusting, and frightened,” the shelter added.
“She soon started to bond with me and we started taking her fun places like the beach, something we don’t think she has ever experienced before,” Chloe said. “With some tender loving care and good food, Peggy soon started to adjust to life. Several months on and Peggy has blossomed into a dog who is continuing to improve daily.”
One of the biggest ways Peggy’s new family helped her adjust was getting her back to work. Working dogs are bred to do a specific job, and without a purpose, they can grow depressed and bored. So Chloe introduced the dog to hand signs and taught her to use her eyes in place of her ears while on the job. Now that she’s 10, she’s “generally retired,” but she still enjoys herding and continues to impress her family with how quickly she learns new skills.
【1】What can we infer about the Peggy from the text?

B.she went deaf due to a rare condition.
C.It was long before she adjusted to her new life.
D.She was abandoned by her former family.
【2】How many ways did the Chloe use to help Peggy adjust in the text?
A.Two
B.Three
C.Five
D.Six
【3】Why did the Chloe get Peggy back to work?
A.They were depressed and bored by her performance.
B.They wanted to help her recover her sense of hearing.
C.They needed her to help them herding animals.
D.They were concerned about her mental health.
【4】Which of the following best describes Peggy?
A.Aggressive and shy
B.Adaptable and gifted
C.Untrusting and greasy

22、You’ve probably heard that laughter is the best medicine, but have you ever wondered if laughter can cure an illness 【1】 Nevertheless, today your doctor may suggest increasing your daily dose of laughter to improve the body’s immune (免疫的) system.
Some people in the medical community have been skeptical of the healing power of laughter. 【2】 In fact, doctors have begun to use laughter to complement traditional treatments for injuries and diseases like cancer. Some cancer treatment centers incorporate laughter sessions into a patient’s treatment plan to increase the positive thinking and happy feelings that support the healing process.
How does laughter improve one’s health? Laughter sets off a chain reaction throughout the body that promotes physical and psychological health. Regular and frequent laughing can both prevent illness and help you get well. Laughter lowers your body’s hormone (激素) and cortisol (皮质醇) levels. 【3】 Specifically, it increases the production of antibodies in your bloodstream to keep away bacteria and viruses.
【4】 We strengthen muscles throughout our face and body, our pulse and blood pressure go up, and we breathe faster, sending more oxygen to our tissues. People who believe in the benefits of laughter say it can be like a mild exercise. They think laughter may offer some of the same advantages as a workout.
All in all, although there’s no concrete evidence that laughter alone can cure an illness, it does promote physical and mental health. 【5】
A.It may sound ridiculous.
B.However, that’s changing.
C.Yes, it does have a lot of uncertainty.
D.We change physiologically when we laugh.
E.Laughter also strengthens your immune system.
F.That’s why more and more people are turning to laughter.
G.There are limits to what we know about laughter’s benefits.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“This Saturday, we'll be visiting cats at the animal shelter. If you' d like to join us, here's an application form, said Ms. Delgado, the school librarian.
Ben loved cats and he had always wanted one so he hurried to take an application form. Then Ms. Delgado added, “We'll be reading to the cats." Ben stopped. Reading was hard. Still, he really wanted to visit the cats, so he took an application form anyway.
On Saturday, Ben arrived at the shelter with some of his classmates. “This is Max,” the shelter worker told Ben as she handed him a gray cat. Ben carried Max to a beanbag chair and sat down. Max settled onto his lap. He took a book he'd been working on and started reading. Max, very different from other cats walking around the room while the kids read, purred on his lap as if he had understood what Ben read.
“I'm glad Max is staying and listening to my reading and he is the best cat ever,” Ben told Dad excitedly. “I' m glad you two are friends," Dad said. All week, Ben waited for Saturday. When it arrived, Ben got to read to Max again.
“What if someone adopts Max?” Ben asked Dad later. “I guess you'd read to a different cat,” Dad said. “But I don't want a different cat. I wish we could adopt Max,” Ben said to Dad. He knew they couldn't because Mom had allergies. Ben loved the cat so much that he even told his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Patel, about Max. “Max sounds like a special cat,” said Mrs. Patel.
Week by week, Ben realized that reading seemed easier with Max's company. Still, he was surprised when Ms. Delgado gave him the Most Improved Reader award. “I want to show my award to Max,” Ben told Dad.
注意:
