24、In today’s world of modern science and medicine, a more traditional treatment is once again becoming popular---animal friendship.

It is now well-known that people with problems such as heart disease or cancer live longer and get better more quickly if they have pets. Keeping pets reduces blood pressure and makes people less worried. Animals are increasingly important in treating older people who have memory loss and other brain problems. These people often feel nervous and upset. Activities with animals help them improve their physical condition and also give them joy, amusement and caring friendship.

Here is a case that shows the benefits of animals. John was a six-year-old mute. He had no physical problems. He just refused to talk. His older cousin, Ned, had a parrot（鹦鹉）called Sally, and John used to visit it. When he arrived, Ned used to say, ”Hi, John!”We all know parrots copy what they heat. After a few visits, Sally began saying “Hi, John!” when John came into the room. Then, one day, John turned to the parrot and replied “Hi, Sally!”Staying with the parrot encouraged John to begin talking.

Another use of animal helpers is in schools. In some cases, animals are use to help children with physical or personal problems. In other cases, they are used to teach children to get on well and share with others, and even to teach them about animals.

If you want to know more about animal helper programs ,you can get in touch with organizations like Riding for the Disabled or do a search under “animal therapy” on the Internet. You don’t have to be an animal trainer or a doctor to join in.

【1】Which is NOT mentioned as an illness that animals can help with?

A. Fever B. Cancer C. Heart disease D. Blood pressure

【2】The underlined word “mute” in Paragraph3 is closest in meaning to “_________”.

A. a person who speaks slowly B. a person who does not speak

C. a person who cannot hear D. a person who enjoys talking

【3】How can animals help school children according to the passage?

A. They can make children more popular.

B. They can improve children’s memory.

C. They can increase children’s blood pressure.

D. They can teach children the value of sharing.

【4】Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?

（①=Para.（自然段）1   ②=para.2 ③=para.3 ④=para.4 ⑤=para.5 ）

A. ①；②；③；④；⑤ B. ①②；③④；⑤

C. ①②；③；④⑤ D. ①；②③；④⑤

25、A phenomenon known as “kuakuaqun” or “praise groups” has taken Chinese social media by storm. The number of related topics on Weibo has reached more than 23 million. Users can join a chat group on WeChat or QQ, where they are showered with varieties of generous praise and encouragement. Praising others like this is also very popular among teens who prefer to call it “Rainbow Fart”.

Just imagine the scenes: You get an A in an exam and you want to get some praise. When you post it into a praise group, you are praised for not only your efforts but also being as clever as Albert Einstein. It’s 10 p.m. and you are the only person in the office. You receive a reply, “You are so hardworking! You’ll definitely get a promotion (升职)! Praise to you!” Even if you go to a toilet and forget taking some tissue, someone points out that “you’re caring about trees and the environment! Good for you!”

How would you feel?

The appearance of “praise groups” provides an opportunity for ordinary people who cannot get positive feedback easily in their daily life to get comfort from their hearts. It also shows the life and social pressure of today’s young people. Moreover, the popularity of these chat groups is a reflection of Chinese culture which values modesty and humility — people often hide their true emotion of seeking and giving praise. As long as people’s praise doesn’t sound obviously untruthful, you’re likely to welcome it. Being richly affirmed (肯定) for what you door who you are — just feel good. Sometimes, people enjoy praising others as well, just because here they can drop everything and have fun by giving lavish (夸张的) comments. However, some people are also willing to encourage and support others from their hearts.

Some netizens (网民) shared their ideas, “I take it as a way of adjusting the mood. The praise group helps in adding our confidence. Some sincere praises can even be inspiring. However, if you’re really in trouble, it is you who holds the final key.” Clearly, some dishonest praise comes at a cost. Chen Kan, an associate professor in Fudan University’s psychology department warned that “The biggest risk is to continue to stress on the ‘false self’, which makes it harder to see the ‘true self’.” In the end, people in the group will find that such unreasonable praise doesn’t help solve the real problem. Soon the whole group will be silent and dead.

Perhaps the praise groups are “a flash in the pan”, which might disappear sooner or later. No matter how you think of it, only when you can understand the pressure, criticism and praise correctly, will you face them bravely. Don’t lose yourself in others’ voices—that is what really matters.

【1】The writer mentions the examples in Paragraph 2 to show .

A．what people can get from “praise groups”

B．when people need to join “praise groups”

C．how people can join “praise groups”

D．who wants to join “praise groups”

【2】Why do people like to join “praise groups”?

A．To hide real feelings of themselves.

B．To ask for suggestions from others.

C．To express the values of their own.

D．To get comfort and be recognized.

【3】According to the passage, the writer may agree that .

A．we should see ourselves correctly and positively

B．praise group is effective for dealing with troubles

C．we should speak highly of others to please each other

D．praise group is necessary for building self-confidence

【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．“Praise Group”: Does it benefit to know yourself?

B．“Praise Group”: Does it change your personality?

C．“Praise Group”: Is it important to praise others?

D．“Praise Group”: Is it worth giving it a try?

26、While many women are busy with planning their bridal showers (新娘送礼会), a baby shower usually comes as a complete surprise. A baby shower is a party where a pregnant (怀孕的) woman is “showered” with gifts and good wishes. A baby shower is usually given by a close female friend or a relative of the mother-to-be. Sometimes co-workers of a pregnant person will also hold a baby shower for her.

  The baby shower is usually given when the mother-to-be is between 6 and 9 months pregnant. Predicting the date of a baby’s birth isn’t always exact. Sometimes a baby shower can also happen after the baby is born. A baby shower can be held in someone’s home or outside, like in a restaurant or a catering hall. Traditionally only women are invited to a baby shower. However, more and more baby showers are also including the father-to-be.

  Like a bridal shower, a mother-to-be will register (登记) a wish list of things she wants at one or several stores. This list usually includes things the mother wants for her baby like clothes, diapers and even furniture. This way friends and family members can go to the stores and buy something from the list. Registering helps make sure that there aren’t repeat items, like 30 bottles when a new mom only needed 15.

  At a baby shower, people can give cards with wishes for the new baby and mom. Most of these cards also include money or gift cards to help the mom-to-be buy whatever else she needs for the baby. Sometimes there are games as well. In one game everyone guesses the date of the baby. Another game lets people taste baby food and guess the flavor.

27、   Today some women are wearing the new high platform shoes that came into style (时髦，式样)not long ago. Young women enjoy wearing stylish clothes. They also enjoy being taller while they are wearing these shoes.

But doctors are not very happy with the platform shoes. Foot specialist report that many women hurt their feet by wearing them. These specialists say that if you turn ankle when wearing a normal shoe, the foot can easily return to its position. However, if you fall while walking on a high platform shoe, your foot may turn so far you will break.

There is also a possibility that these shoes cause backaches. Many platform shoes have high heels (跟),and women who wear them say that these shoes sometimes make them feel tired.(It has been found that people use more energy when walking on high-heeled shoes.)

Because the platforms are very thick and stiff (硬), these shoes could cause auto (汽车) accidents. The driver might not be able to feel the difference between the brake (闸) and the accelerator (油门踏板). Also, if the platforms are very high, and if the driver has to stop the car quickly, she might not be able to move her foot to the brake in time.

Women are not alone in wearing platform shoes. Many U.S. shoe stores sell platform shoes designed for men. Doctors continued to warn people about the dangers of wearing them. A high style is not always a safe style.

28、 阅读下面短文， 按要求补全表格。(每空限填一词)

It is said that the eyes are “the windows of our soul”. Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good health but also make you look very attractive. However, to have healthy eyes you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need taking good care of.

Be careful with your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. They are fresh fruits and vegetables as fish, eggs, and milk. Besides, a regular amount of vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.

A regular and sound sleep is a must. It relaxes your eyes and gives them enough rest. Sleep not only helps repair the tired body. Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eye.

You must exercise your eyes every day. Blink (眨眼) your eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs full of water and gives them a good wash.

We use our eyes in many wrong ways. Fox example, if a small thing goes into our eye we start rubbing it, which is wrong. Rubbing can hurt your eyes. Don’t read or write in poor or bright sunlight. Always use sunglasses as sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Light should not shine directly in your eyes. Too much reading, watching TV or working on the computer can also cause eye tiredness.

Remember to always take care of God’s most beautiful gift to you. Your life will be very colorless without your eyes.
