(2013·沈阳市二模，A)

The owner of a missing cat is asking for help. “My baby has been missing for over a month now, and I want him back so badly，” said Mrs. Brown, a 56yearold woman. Mrs. Brown lives by herself in a park near . She said that Clyde, her 7yearold cat, didn't come home for dinner more than a month ago. The next morning he didn't appear for breakfast, either. After Clyde missed an extraspecial lunch, she called the police. When the policeman asked

her to describe Clyde, she told him that Clyde had beautiful green eyes, had all his teeth but was missing half of his left ear, and was seven years old and completely white.

“Is Clyde your child or your pet？” the officer asked. “Well, he's

my cat.” Mrs. Brown replied. “Lady, you should report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS！” said the annoyed policeman. “You can ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers.” Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an empty billboard at the end of her street just off the highway, with a phone

number on it.

She called that number, and they told her they could put up a picture of Clyde on the billboard for all to see. They told her it would cost only ￥3 000

a month. So she took most of the money out of her savings account and rented the billboard for a month. The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared.

Because she has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to see if anyone could help her rent the billboard for just one more month. She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward.

文章大意：本文是一篇新闻报道。一个老太太的宠物猫丢失一个多月了，她就此请求大家给予帮助。

1．The underlined word “flyers” in the second paragraph probably means ________.

A．posters B．pilots

C．billboards D．newspapers 答案：A 词义猜测题。警察建议Mrs. Brown “put up flyers”，再根据文章第二段倒数第二句“Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole.”可推知，flyer指的是“an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole”，故答案A海报，符合文义。

2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the

passage?

A．The police officer thought that Clyde was Mrs. Brown's child.

B．Mrs. Brown put up an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole.

C．Clyde had kept Mrs. Brown company for seven years in total.

D．Someone rented the billboard for Mrs. Brown for one month.

答案：A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句“‘Lady, you should report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS！’ said the annoyed policeman”可知，答案A符合文义。should此处表示惊讶。

3．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A．the billboard off the highway costs $ 3 000 a month B．the neighbors helped Mrs. Brown to put up flyers

C．Mrs. Brown doesn't give up the hope of finding Clyde

D．Clyde only had half of his left ear but had all his teeth

答案：C 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句“The owner of a missing cat is asking for help.”和对文章最后两段的整体理解可以推断出，Mrs. Brown并没有放弃寻找宠物猫，故答案C符合文义。

4．What is probably the best title for the passage?

A．A Nearby Billboard

B．Clyde and Mrs. Brown

C．A Missing Cat

D．Persons or Cats

答案：C 标题概括题。根据文章第一段第一句“The owner of a missing cat is asking for help.”的开篇点题和对全文的整体理解可知，本文主要讲的是一个老太太寻找一只丢失的猫的相关信息，故答案C符合文义。

(2013·福建省毕业班质检，B) The “Give It Up for Earth Day” encourages people to commit to

giving up actions that are harmful to the environment, such as using poisonous cleaners.

Throughout the month of April, Canadians are being asked to “Give It Up for Earth Day！” Earth Day has been celebrated every year on April 22 since 1970. Earth Day Canada president Jed

Goldberg says that as people become more environmentally aware, they want to find ways to reduce their environmental influence, not just celebrate one special event.

“Earth Day is a great launching_pad for thinking about environmental action every day，” said Goldberg. “Choosing healthier options, even for the short term, can lead to thinking about the influence of our decisions for a lifetime.”

That's the reason behind the “Give It Up for Earth Day” campaign. It's designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet. It challenges everyone to help create a healthier world by making changes in their daily routine.

“We wanted to plan an actiontargeted campaign that will give people a chance to act on their concern for the environment in a

positive way，” said Goldberg.

A

Two brothers, Herbert and James, lived with their mother and a

cat named Edgar. James was particularly devoted to the cat, and when he had to leave town for several days, he left Herbert careful instructions about the pet’s care. At the end of his first day away, James telephoned his brother, “How is Edgar?”

“Edgar is dead.” Herbert answered. There was a pause. Then James said, “Herbert, you’re insensitive (漠然的). You know how close I was to Edgar. You should have broken the news to me slowly. When I asked about Edgar tonight, you should have said, ‘Edgar’s on the roof , but I have called the

fire department to get him down.’ And tomorrow when I called, you could have said the firemen were having trouble getting Edgar down, but you were hopeful they would succeed. Then when

More than a third of the babies born this year could receive a

100th birthday message from whoever happens to be on the throne in the second decade of the 22nd century,according to figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).It forecasts that 35% of the 826,000 people born in 2012 will live to become centenarians.

But a long life is not unalloyed good news.David Sinclair,head of policy and research at the International Longevity Centre UK,warned that for many the future may mean social isolation(隔离)as they live longer than friends and members of their families.

“It is of course good news that so many more people are living longer,”he said,“but there is a big problem.We will be older,but in worse health,and at high risk of living alone.The other problem is that we are very poor at forward planning.We deal with the problems that are under our noses,but even problems two or three years away seem quite distant enough to put off.When you’re talking about forecasts for a time half a century away and more,I see no evidence that we are putting in place the measures to deal with it.”

If you look for a book as a present for a child，you will be spoiled for choice even in a year there is no new Harry Patten. J.K Rowling’s wizard is not alone .The past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books ,which has set off a large quantity of films and an increased sales of classics such as The lard of the Rings.

Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children .According to statistics in 1997, 23% said they didn’t like

reading at all. In 2003, 35% didn’t. And around 6% of the children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.

Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computes games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class .In his

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind:

Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, “Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network. You don’t need to dress like you’re going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put together.”

Logo mania (品牌狂热症): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. It’s tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement”-style, why not express who you really are?
