27、   Cats communicate a variety of messages using cat body language. Examples include arching (弓起) their backs as a signal of fear or attack, and slowly blinking (眨) their eyes to signal relaxation. Mouth open and no teeth showed suggests a feeling of playfulness. A cat which chooses to lie on its back shows happiness, trust and comfort. Cats show dissatisfaction by moving their ears back, equal to a human frown.

As is the case with dogs, a twitching (抽动) tail can mean a little anger while a tail held high suggests confidence. Cats will twitch their tails when hunting or angry, while larger twitching suggests displeasure. They may also twitch their tails when playing. A tail held high is a sign of happiness, or can be used as a greeting towards humans or other cats (usually close relatives) while half-raised shows less pleasure, and unhappiness is expressed with a tail held low.

Some characteristic signals, however, are often misunderstood. It is important to keep in mind that each cat may show its feelings with different body language. For instance, a cat rubbing its body along an arm or leg of its owner is not only a way in which to attract attention and, perhaps, a way to ask for food; it is also a way of “marking” its owner as its own. Usually a cat with its tail held high and twitching shows excitement, but this is often mistaken for anger.

Many people fail or are too slow to understand the silent body language of cats. And they may have the false impression that cats are cold-hearted, unfaithful or not clever. To understand cats, people must observe a cat closely and learn what its body signals tell them.

【1】Which cat body language shows that a cat is relaxed?

A.Lying on its stomach. B.Blinking its eyes slowly.

C.Holding its tail high. D.Moving its ears back.

【2】According to the passage, a cat will twitch its tail EXCEPT ____.

A.when it feels sleepy B.when it is hunting

C.when it feels angry D.when it is playing

【3】How many meanings does a cat’s rubbing its body along its owner have?

A.2. B.3. C.4. D.5.

【4】The last paragraph intends to tell us ____.

A.many people often have wrong opinions on cats

B.it is not easy to understand cats’ body language

C.every cat has its own special body language

D.we should learn more about cats’ body language

28、   Some people say that friendship is the only channel through which human beings can ever experience the value of life. In our daily life, it is likely that you share some common interests with others — they may like the same sport, go to the same school or like the same kind of music as you do. Since you often meet them, they become your acquaintances. Although some people develop many acquaintances, only a few become their good friends in their lifetime because there are differences between acquaintances and friends.

It is said that true friendship begins when someone knows what you are really like, but still likes you anyway. A true friend shows loyalty from the very beginning of the relationship. A friend will go through challenges to help you without expecting anything in return. A “friend” today may probably become a “true friend” tomorrow when they get involved in unexpected circumstances together with you — for example, when you are going through a difficult experience and your friend is there to help you out. However, some acquaintances might leave you when you badly need their help. At this time, you can experience what true friendship is.

In our life, some people seem to go through life with plenty of friends. They may be funny or they may have a bright and pleasant personality. For these people, wherever they go, people seem to like them and welcome their company. But when they go through challenging life experiences, some of their friends are not there to help them. Therefore we can say some of their friends are not real friends and their friendship is just skin-deep.

However, others seem to go through life with no friends at all. They like to be alone, to travel by themselves or to do their own things. It’s a pity that few of these people find success in life because they have no friends. They lack the best gift in life — friendship.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following statements about acquaintances is TRUE?

A.They have all of the same interests as you do.

B.You seldom meet them in your life.

C.They are sure to become your good friends.

D.Not all of them can become your friends.

【2】According to the passage you may get to know the meaning of friendship better when you ________.

A.go to the same school as your friend

B.get into trouble

C.enjoy the same kind of music as your friend

D.see your friend often

【3】We know from the passage that ________.

A.it doesn’t matter whether one has friends or not

B.people with bright personality are easy to have friends

C.people without friends are always unhappy

D.it’s easier to lose a friend than to get one

【4】What does the underlined word “skin-deep” in the third paragraph mean?

A.Very deep. B.Not deep at all.

C.As precious as skin. D.Hidden under the skin.

【5】What’s the writer’s attitude towards people without friends in their life?

A.Interested. B.Angry.

C.Hopeful. D.Regretful.

29、   As the novel coronavirus outbreak interrupts businesses and everyday life for billions around the globe, massive conferences have moved online. The new form creates numerous technical and organizational challenges, but it also offers opportunities-for reaching wider audiences, reducing the carbon footprint of meeting travel and improving diversity. For some meetings, the switch may be lasting.

The scientific community is “ making lemonade out of lemons,” an expert says. “ Scientists are making use of a situation that’s really quite horrible and providing people a way to connect.”

In many ways, virtual conferences offer a better experience, says Altman, associate director of the Stanford Institute for AI. Altman’s institute had planned an inperson conference in April, but COVID-19 forced organizers to change it. They threw together a virtual conference to discuss how AI can help scientists fight the ongoing pandemic (流行病).The event was a great success. The original conference would have drawn a few hundred attendees, but 30,000 people watched the online version.

Altman says the virtual environment allowed hosts to better control the flow of discussion and questions from the audience. By privately messaging one another behind the scenes, they were able to make adjustments (调整).During the audience question period, the hosts didn’t open up the virtual floor for anyone to speak. Instead, they asked the audience to type their questions and screen the most insightful (有深刻见解的)ones.

Scientists acknowledge that virtual conferences can’t completely replace the conference experience. Virtual meetings might lose some of their appeal once stay-at-home requirements loosen. Even so, the success of some scientists further strengthens the society’s march toward virtual meetings.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “ making lemonade out of lemons” refer to?

A.Working tirelessly to fight the pandemic.

B.Taking advantage of the difficult situation.

C.Doing research on how to make lemonade.

D.Committing themselves to their conferences.

【2】What could prove the virtual conference mentioned in paragraph 3 successful ?

A.A larger audience.

B.Better arrangement.

C.Environmental friendliness.

D.Beating the ongoing pandemic.

【3】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 4?

A.Provide some advice for the hosts.

B.Summarize the previous paragraphs.

C.Introduce a new topic for the audience.

D.List some advantages of virtual conferences.

【4】In which section of a newspaper does this text probably appear?

A.Business. B.Opinion. C.Culture. D.Travel.
