21、 Traveling with your dear pet by train in comfort and safety is like an adventure: It requires a little advanced planning. 【1】 And your pet can stay healthy along the way.
【2】
Best practices for keeping your pet healthy can vary by time of year, activity and destination. For example, hiking and back-country adventures can increase your pet’s exposure to ticks, while some regions may have a higher risk for heartworm. And even though your pet may currently be flea-free (无跳搔的)，there’s no guarantee that other animals are as well.
Learn railway requirements
【3】 Additionally, make sure to book your pet’s ticket in advance-no one wants the heartbreak of a trip delayed or canceled because the train is at capacity (程度)for four-legged travelers.
Reduce your pet’s anxiety around train noise
If you know your dog or cat loves to go for a ride, you may not have to worry. 【4】 Put your pet in a carrier, head for the station and give plenty of treats and praise as the trains roll in. This will help your pet get used to the sounds of the railway station and the engine. 【5】 Take your pet on a day trip to see how well they manage the noise, the motion and the excitement.
A．Other routes allow pets in all cars.
B．Going for a test ride is even better.
C．Talk to the vet before you leave.
D．Make sure to do so before you leave for traveling.
E．But anxious pets might benefit from a practice run.
F．Different routes have different rules about pets on board.
G．Follow these three easy tips to help your four-legged friend travel well.
22、Most of the time, the ground feels solid beneath our feet. That's comforting. But it's also misleading because there's actually a lot going on underground. Masses of land (called plates) slip, slide, and bump against each other, slowly changing the shape of continents and oceans over millions and billions of years.
Scientists know that Earth formed about 4. 5 billion years ago. They also know that our planet was hot at first. As it cooled, its outermost layer, called the crust （地壳), eventually formed moving plates. Exactly when this shift happened, however, is an open question.
Now, an international group of researchers has an answer. They've found new evidence suggesting that Earth's crust started shifting at least 3.8 billion years ago. The new estimate is l. 3 billion years earlier than previous ones.
Not long before 3. 8 billion years ago, lots of small planets were hitting Earth, keeping its crust in a hot, melting state. After the hard crust formed, much of it sank at various times into the planet's hot insides. There, it melted before returning to the surface.
In some places, however, the crust never sank. One of the oldest such places is in Greenland, in an area called the Isua supracrustal (上地壳) belt. The rocky crust there is between 3. 7 and 3. 8 billion years old. The belt was once part of the seafloor, but now it is exposed to air.
The researchers recently took a close look at the Isua supracrustal belt. They noticed long, parallel cracks（裂缝）in the rock that have been filled in with a type of volcanic rock.
To explain this structure, the scientists propose that tension in the crust caused the seafloor to crack open long ago. Hot, liquid rock oozed from deep inside Earth to fill the cracks. Finally, the whole area cooled, forming what we see today.
That explanation, plus chemical clues inside the rock, suggests that the Isua supracrustal belt was once part of plate under the ocean, beginning around 3.8 billion years ago.
“It's a fantastic case of solving a jigsaw puzzle（拼图）,”says one of the researchers. He notes that the puzzle was “a very difficult one because these rocks are all very old and have been badly ruined".
【1】The underlined phrase “oozed from" in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to________.
A. filled up gradually
B. washed away quickly
C. flew out of slowly
D. broke through suddenly
【2】What can we infer from the text?
A. The shapes of continents and oceans changed slowly.
B. The Earth's crust started shifting l.3 billion years ago.
C. The crust began to shift when the Earth was hot.
D. The hit from small planets made the Earth cool.
【3】What do scientists know about the past of the Isua supracrustal belt?
A. It was once covered by hot, liquid rock.
B. It remained under the deep sea.
C. It stayed hot and sinking.
D. It kept moving slowly.
【4】The text is mainly about________.
A. why the Earth cooled
B. how the Isua supracrustal belt formed
C. whether the ground beneath our feet is still
D. when Earth's crust began shifting
23、The Children’s Book-Show Competition is a chance for young readers to be writers.
Reading, it seems, is coming back in fashion, if a survey by the famous National Literacy Trust (the NLT) is true. It shows that the percentage of children who admit enjoying reading has grown for the first time in the past 8 years.
So it’s a good time to launch a competition that includes a shed-load of new books for schools as prizes. The Children’s Book-show Competition, backed by The Independent, is taking to the roads again from the start of next term, with a nation-wide tour of 15 big cities, featuring a line-up of a dozen children’s writers and illustrators(插图画家)aiming to persuade pupils to follow their footsteps.
The competition, launched by the children’s writer and illustrator Jessica Souhami, has two categories: the under-nine’s and nine to 13-year-olds.
Children are asked to choose their favorite fairy or folk tale and set it in an extraordinary place.
Then they are to retell it with the aid of drawings and writings-whether it is set at sea, on a distant planet, in the future or in the past. The closing date for the competition is 30th November.
“Tell your tale in pictures and in words, ”say the organizers of the competition. “It can be in a picture book or comic-book format.”
The winner of each competition will receive a signed copy of a book by each of the 12 authors involved in this year’s tour, plus £150 worth of books for their school. The runners-up will receive a signed copy of Souhami’s new book.
【1】 What can we know about the Book-show Competition? _____
A. It will be held by the famous NLT.
B. It will be held in different cities.
C. It has never been organized before.
D. Children of all ages will join in it.
【2】The underlined word “backed” in Paragraph 3 means_____.
A. started B. promoted
C. supported D. reported
【3】 What will be offered as a prize to schools? _________
A. Pictures and comic books
B. Books worth £150 in all.
C. Books signed by 12 authors.
D. Jessica Souhami’s new books.
【4】The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ______.

C. promote children’s books by famous writers.
D. introduce the Children’s Book-Show Competition
24、 It was the homecoming parade in Rockwall, Texas, and cheerleader Tyra Winters was riding on one of the school’s floats (彩车). As it slowly made its way down the avenue, the 17-year-old enthusiastically waved at the crowd, all the while absorbed in the music, laughter, and applause.
Suddenly, a terrible scream came from the cheering crowd. Looking down, Winters saw a two-year-old on the sidewalk gasping for air and his mother desperately begging for help. The boy had been enjoying a piece of candy when it slid down the back of his mouth, sticking in his throat and blocking his windpipe (气管).
“I saw a little bright red face and his mom’s begging for help,” Winters told KTVT.
“There was no coughing; there was no breathing,” the mother, Nicole Hornback, later told news station NBCDFW. “He was just gasping for air. ” No one seemed to know how to help.
Except for Winters. A senior with dreams of becoming a doctor, she had learned the first-aid method of Heimlich maneuver and CPR. Knowing that the clock was ticking, she jumped off the moving float and ran to the child. By the time she got to him, his face had turned purple. “I got him!” she yelled to Nicole as she grabbed the boy from her. “I held him face down and gave a good three back pushes,” she told the local CBS station. Soon, the boy coughed up the piece of candy, and began breathing again. Without another word, Winters handed the boy back to his mother and ran back to her float before it could leave her behind.
It all happened so fast. Nicole never had time to thank the teen. “She didn’t need to,” says Winters. “I knew how she was feeling. I saw her tears. I saw her face. ”
And for Nicole, she says, “I don’t really have any words,” she says. “The words that you would say to anyone who does something for you is ‘thank you. ’ But that doesn’t seem good enough. ”
【1】It can be learned from paragraphs 1-4 that ________.
A．the cheering crowd ignored the scream for help
B．Winters panicked at the mother’s desperate cry
C．the mother gave the boy first aid but in vain

C．Her enthusiasm for the parade.
D．Her cooperation with the crowd.
【3】What does Nicole mean in the last paragraph?
A．The media’s attention to the matter left her at a loss.
B．The crowd’s concern for the boy deeply touched her.
C．Her memory of the unexpected incident made her speechless.
