AA dog was found abandoned at a Scottish train station next to a suitcase filled with its belongings and now the local animal welfare charity are looking for tips into who is the careless owner.The dog，a male shar-pei named Kai，was found sitting with a string attached to a post at the Ayr railway station on January 2，according to the Scottish Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals．“Kai is around two to three years old and is a lovely dog with a nice nature，”Scottish SPCA Inspector Stewart Taylor said in the group’s release．The group reported that the suitcase contained a dog bowl，food，a pillow and toy—although that doesn't clear the owner from wrongdoing．Abandoning an animal is an offense in Scotland and，if they are able to determine who left the dog in the station，that person or persons could be banned from owning animals for life.“Regardless of the fact Kai was left with his belongings，this was still a cruel incident and we are keen to identify the person responsible，”Taylor said．Officials were able to determine the dog’s name because the animal had been microchipped by a previous owner．When they contacted that individual，he reported that he had sold the dog in 2013 but did not have any information on the new owner．Taylor said that the group will care for the dog until they find an owner for Kai.21．Where was the dog found according to the report?A．In a suitcase．B．At a railway station．C．It a police station．D．In a welfare charity．22．What can we know from the article?A．It is illegal to abandon an animal in Scotland．B．Scottish SPCA will sell Kai to a new owner．C．Kai is abandoned twice by its previous owners．D．The owner of the abandoned dog will be fined if found．23．Which of the following can be the best title for this news report?A．Dog abandoned with packed suitcaseB．Scottish law about abandoning petsC．Individual charged with abandoning animalsD．A lovely dog with a nice nature，BKids and adults are going crazy for a cat that responds to your touch and repeats everything you say in a funny voice．Introduced four years ago，Talking Tom is part of a series of apps called Talking Tom and Friends that has reached two billion downloads this fall．While speaking to the characters and hearing your words said back in a silly，changed voice is the main attraction of these apps，users can also play games with Talking Tom Cat and his friends. You can also reward the lovable pets with a glass of milk by pressing buttons in the left corner of the screen，or dress them up any way you like．These are the“educational aspects”of the apps．said The Guardian．While they provide humor and entertainment，they also“teach kids and teenagers how to take care of somebody”．And it’s not just children who enjoy the idea of a mobile toy．“Adults also like the idea of open-ended play with a character，something that takes them back to their childhood，”noted US news website Gigaom．“Though other talking character apps exist，it is the interactivity(互动) along with a focus on getting the voices fight that helps．Talking Tom and Friends get so many downloads．”Allowing users to share what they have made in 45-second video clips(片段)on social networking sites is another important factor that has led to the apps’success．“Many users have broadcasted messages to friends via Talking Tom Cat and parents have sent notes to their kids with the apps，”Gigaom reported．24．Which of the following about Talking Tom is true according to the passage?A．You can play any game you like with it．B．More than two million people have downloaded it．C．The sharing of video clips makes it more fun．D．It is the only talking character app．25．Why are adults also crazy about Talking Tom according to Gigaom?A．It can be easily downloaded to their phonesB．It can remind them of their childhood．C．It can help them send notes to their children．D．It can teach them to take care of others．26．What can we know from the passage?A．The only attraction of Talking Tom is its entertainments．B．Other talking character apps also have interactivities．C．Users can learn something useful while using the apps．D．Users can feed Talking Tom with real milk or drinks．27．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To encourage more people to download Talking Tom．B．To tell readers how Talking Tom is created．C．To introduce how to download Talking Tom．D．To explain why Talking Tom is so popular．CMy daughter is 5 years old，and since she was three months old，people have been asking us，“When are you having another?”At first，I’d answer“we’11 see，”because at the time，we were undecided，not financially stable，and just learning how to be parents．Over time we decided that one is good for us．“Poor baby，she’s going to be so lonely!”I have grown accustomed to these remarks．But this week，I read a post that made my head spin．Andrew Kardon，a blogger at The Stir，said，“Parents who choose to have one child are just being selfish．”He says“I understand some people are unable to have more than one kid due to medical or financial circumstances．I’m not talking about them．I’m talking about the couple who decide it’s a lot of work and they like having their freedom，so they stop at one．”I absolutely disagree．First，it is a very hard job to raise a child．Even in a two-income-earning household，the stress of having a child is huge just to meet a child’s basic needs．Let’s not get into all the extras that start piling on as they grow older．Second，and just as equally important，is time．Carving out time for just yourself is hard enough，but when you have a family，you want to be there for everything．If you are a working parent，it’s a hard balancing act between career，play，kids，and also spending time with your partner．For me，I wouldn’t be able to do half the things if I had more children．There are some parents that do this well，and I high five them．But that is not me．Whether it be one child or twenty，this parenting business is no joke and not everyone can handle what comes in the job description．I believe recognizing that you only have the strength to raise one child，and raise that child to the best of your ability is actually something to be admired．28．According to Kardon，_______．A．parents choose to have only one child for the same reasonsB．some parents choose to have one child for their own freedomC．all parents who choose to have only one child are selfishD．some parents are not allowed to have more than one child29．By saying“I read a post that made my head spin”，the author wants to________．A．express his or her angerB．complain about his or her headacheC．tell us his or her disappoinmentD．show his or her disagreement．30．Which of the following words is the closest in meaning to the underlined phrase?A．doubt B．envy C．congratulate D．thank31．What could be the best title of the article?A．One child or more? B．Selfish or not?C．Hard or easy D．Lonely or not?DThe jingling bells of China’s Christmas celebrations bring little cheer to some diehard supporters of traditional culture．As young Chinese crowded to shopping malls，cinemas and restaurants on Christmas Eve，some were“celebrating”Christmas by watching traditional cultural films—a college of the Northwest University reportedly used this trick to keep its students fromcelebrating Christmas．In Wenzhou，schools were banned from holding Christmas activities．There is．a rising enthusiasm for traditional culture lately．Grand ceremonies were held across China this year to mark the anniversary of Confucius，parents have pushed their children to recite ancient Chinese classics and experts have called for the classics to be listed as a required course for students.The debates over Christmas，however，show certain anxieties behind China’s cultural ambitions．Some critics associate Christmas with a public addiction to anything Western，while others regard it as the failure of Chinese culture．For Chinese Christmas fans，the logic is simple：Christmas is just a merry time to shop，party and exchange sifts．One reason for the growing popularity of Western festivals here，particularly among the young，is that they offer an excuse to be with friends and lovers，while traditional festivals are more family- centered，celebrated with family get-togethers and feasts．There is no need to compare Western festivals with Chinese：Chinese Christmas fans will still number among the hundreds of millions who travel home for the Lunar New Year family reunion．That said，what Chinese festivals can learn from Christmas fever is how to build up their appeal．There are Christmas，Valentine’s Day and Halloween movies but few such pop-culture products exist for Chinese festivals，except for some festive foods．Even the mooncake and other traditional sweets are developing to suit low-calorie modern life，as will traditional festivals，but development lies in confidently facing up to cultural imports．Banning them from joining the game is no fun．32．Traditional films are shown on Christmas Eve in the Northwest University in order to_______．A．celebrate the coming ChristmasB. play a trick on the studentsC．prevent students celebrating ChristmasD．help students learn traditional culture33．Chinese Christmas fans usually do the following on Christmas except______．A．to have dinner with their familyB．to go to partyC．to go shoppingD．to exchange gifts with others34．The underlined word“it”in the third paragraph refers to________．A．the western festivalB．the public addiction to western festivalsC．the debate over western festivalsD．the anxiety behind Chinese culture35．Which of the following is not true according to the article?A．There are some debates about whether to celebrate western festivals.B．More and more people began to pay attention to Chinese traditional culture．C．Some people think western festivals have greatly affected Chinese culture.D．Christmas fans won’t come home for family reunion on the Spring Festival．第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
