(2017·辽宁六校协作体高二下期中)I've always felt a need to be prepared for whatever situation I've found myself in.
My mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old.She and I got to the checkout counter，and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list.She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed.
“I'll be right back.” she said.
She was gone just a few minutes，but in that time，I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up.I was left staring at the cashier，who was st aring at me.“Do you have money for me，son？” she said.“I'll need to be paid.”
I didn't realize she was just trying to amuse herself.So I stood there，ashamed and embarrassed.
By the time my mom returned，I was angry.“You left me here with no money! This lady asked me for the money，and I had nothing to give her.”
Now that I'm an adult，you'll never catch me with less than 200 in my wallet.I want to be prepared in case I need it.
I've always admired people who are over-prepared.In college，I had a classmate named Norman.One day he was giving a presentation on an overhead projector and in the middle of his talk，the light bulb on the projector blew out.We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new projector.
“It's Okay.” he announced.“There's n othing to worry about.”
We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out.He had brought along a spare bulb for the overhead projector.Who could even think of that?
I often told my students，“When you go into the wilderness，the only thing you can d epend on is what you take with you.” And essentially，the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office.So take money.Pack a light bulb.Be prepared.

(2017·云南曲靖一中高二下期中)Coffee drink is widespread.When people argue about whether coffee is good for health，they're usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker.Is it good for your heart? Does it increase blood pressure? Does it help you concentrate? However，coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways，too.
Traditionally，coffee bushes were planted under the shade of taller trees. However，more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full sun coffees.At first，this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren't any trees.With increased production come increased profits.
Unfortunately，deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases the local wildlife habitat, because native birds nest and hide from predators(捕食者)in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.
Furthermore，in the long term，the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂)are needed to grow the coffee.The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant，and then
the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die.The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well，and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.
Fortunately，farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade.We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as “shade-grown” and “bird-friendly”．
Sure，these varieties might cost a little more.But we're paying for the health of the birds，the land，ourselves，and the planet.I think it's worth it.

When we talk about stars，especially women stars，it seems that they are always young，pretty and own charming body shapes.But recently a Britain's Got Talent(英国达人)star Susan Boyle has changed our views absolutely.
Simon Cowell，one of the judges of the talent show spoke of his shock over Ms Boyle's voice.“This lady came up，and I'm thinking，‘This will take five seconds and I can go to have a cup of tea’．That changed when she began to sing I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables.She knew we were going to have that reaction and just to see that look of satisfaction on her face through was one of my favorite moments，”Cowell said.
The performance was posted on line and before long，the 47-year-old Scottish woman has been famous all over the world.
Speaking from her home in Scotland，Ms Boyle said that she hasn't thought of changing her appearance.She said that her friend helped her with make-up.“I mean，that's hardly a makeover(改头换面)，” she added.Ms Boyle also spoke of the reason she first began to explore her vocal talents，“I was kind of slow at school，so getting like singing was a good way of hiding behind that and thus it built my confidence.”【语篇解读】这篇短文主要描述了英国达人秀的一位著名的达人——苏珊大妈。这是一个长得不怎么漂亮的女人，但是她用自己的歌声征服了观众，征服了世界。告诉我们只要有梦想，就要让它成为现实。

It's a common belief that over time，pet owners start to look like their animals，and vice versa.Now comes the terrifying news that cats look up to their owners as role models and copy their behaviour.
Next time you reach for your fridge，think twice.If your kitty is watching，she is likely to overeat as well.
What is your cat's IQ?
In a new study from the University of Messina，it turns out that indoor cats who live closely to their owners “mirror” the lives of their caregivers.They sleep at the same time，eat at the same time，and can even become more or less social depending on the behaviour of their owners.
“Cats are intelligent animals with a long memory，” Jane Brunt，the executive
director of the Catalyst Council，told Discovery News.They watch and learn from us，noting the patterns of our actions，knowing where their food is kept and what time to expect to be fed，how to open the cupboard door that's been improperly closed，and where their feeding and toileting areas are. Because cats copy our habits，if you spend a lot of time raiding(搜刮)the fridge，your cat will return to its food bowl for that midnight snack，too.According to the study，this explains why “human and cat overweight rates often seem to match”．So，if you feel guilty about leaving your precious kitty at home while you go to work，now you can feel even worse: you are making your cat fat!
There's no word if drinking green tea or making sure you go to yoga will benefit your cat，but based on the study，it sounds like sticking to a healthy eating and sleeping schedule is best for both of you.
There's a lot we can learn from our cats in return.“When they sit on our laps softly purring with rhythmic breathing and half-closed eyes，the sense of peace and calm that comes over us is like a private lesson in inner meditation.” Brunt said.Sure.But cats don't have to sit in rush hour traffic for an hour a day or worry about their inlaws.They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.
So，according to science，even though we assume that cats are not close to us all these years，it turns out they are in fact learning from us and looking up to us.Scary，huh?
【语篇解读】本文是一篇有关养宠物猫的科普文章。宠物猫和主人待的时间长了会模仿主人的习惯，而人也能从猫身上学习一些好的习惯。
12．According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?
A．Cats can copy humans' schedule.
B．Humans can learn from cats in some way.
C．Cats are smart and have a long memory.
D．Green tea and yoga can benefit cats.
D[推理判断题。根据文章的“There's no word if drinking green tea or making sure you go to yoga will benefit your cat...”可知D项错误。]
13．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Humans' keeping searching the fridge.
B．Cats' going to their owners for food.
C．Cats' copying humans' habit of looking for food.
D．Humans' leaving cats home while working.
C[词义指代题。根据画线这一段的内容可知this 指代的是猫会模仿主人搜刮冰箱的习惯。故选C项。]
14．What can we learn from our cats?
A．To remain calm.
B．To be able to copy.
C．To stay proud.
D．To look up to friends.
A[细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段内容，特别是最后一句“They're probably pretty good at remaining calm.”可知A项正确。]

own opinion.Respect the opinions of others even if you disagree with them. 19 ● 20
