阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Four Preschool Winter Stories
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
Keats captures that childhood joy of playing in the snow. The boy, Peter, puts on his snowsuit and heads out
into the beautiful snow. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. It is full of fun. Peter takes some snow home with
him in his pocket only to find that it melted while he was taking a bath. Oh no! Is that the last of snow? Not to
worry, the snow is waiting for Peter in the morning.
How to Catch a Yeti (雪人) by Adam Wallace
In this silly snowy adventure, the kids set a whole bunch of clever traps to catch a yeti.
However, the yeti easily escapes and the traps backfire on the kids with funny results. If you look closely at the
illustrations, you can find “hidden” members of the yeti’s family watching the kids.
Winter Dance by Marion Dane Bauer
This is a sweet story that teaches kids about how animals spend the winter. As the first snowflake falls on the
fox’s nose, fox wonders what he is supposed to do in winter. The other forest animals tell him how they prepare for
winter. Some fly south, others store food, and some hibernate (冬眠) . Unfortunately none of these ideas will workfor fox. Finally, another fox comes along and shares what foxes do in winter— they dance in the falling snow!
Bear is Awake: an Alphabet Story by Hannah E. Harrison
With hardly any words, the reader pieces the story together from the fantastic illustrations and the alphabet
letter and corresponding word on each page. In this book, a bear awakens too early (A=awake) and sets off in
search of food. It finds a little girl in a cabin, who, through a series of humorous events, helps the bear return to its
home and go back to sleep.
21．In which book is the leading character Peter?
A．The Snowy Day. B．How to Catch a Yeti.
C．Winter Dance. D．Bear is Awake: an Alphabet Story.
22．What’s the book Winter Dance about?
A．The joy of playing in the snow. B．The way animals spend the winter.
C．The story of animals hibernating. D．A bear in search of food.

C．Marion Dane Bauer. D．Hannah E. Harrison.

Terasa Hill did not intend to do something unplanned. It began when Terasa was observing a horse auction (拍
卖). A chestnut: racehorse was for sale? “She was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen, though it had an injured
leg,” said Terasa.
When the bidding started, Terasa surprised herself by stepping in. Finally, Terasa became the new owner of
Sierra, and Sierra, limping (跛) and hurt with pain from a broken knee, became a labour of love for Terasa. After
three long months of nursing her under the guidance of a local animal doctor, the leg recovered.
It wasn’t only Sierra’s leg that needed to recover; Sierra needed to relearn how to trust people. Terasa thought
the best way to win Sierra’s trust and fondness was to feed her treats. Terasa kept providing Sierra with many treats,
but none passed the sniff (嗅) test. Desperate, Terasa experimented by making her own mixture of molasses and
grains, which she baked in her own kitchen. The cookies were a hit with Sierra and other horses, sending Terasa’s
life in a new direction.
Her treats, called “Barnies”, were sold to a local store and like hotcakes, within months local businessmen
began demanding for more. Terasa’s kitchen was no longer big enough for the increased demand, moving her
operation to an Oshawa company.
Then a serious health problem threatened to ruin her plans. Terasa called upon the same resolution that hadhelped her save Sierra to help her overcome her own illness. Family and friends came to her rescue and kept
Barnies Ltd. going. Almost a year later, healthy and more resolute than ever, Terasa found a national distributor and
Bainies began selling in 144 stores across Canada.
And what about Sierra, the inspiration for all this success and change? The horse has fully recovered and has
become a wonderful riding horse.
24．Why did Terasa create her own cookies?
A．To show superb cooking skills. B．To provide a special diet for Sierra.
C．To find a way to bond with the horse. D．To lay the foundation for her business.
25．Which best describes Terasa according to paragraph 3?
A．Inflexible. B．Pessimistic. C．Confident. D．Determined.
26．Why is the last paragraph an effective conclusion?
A．It raises a valuable question.
B．It provides surprising information.
C．It returns to the topic of the opening paragraph.
D．It continues the focus of the paragraph before it.
27．What is the text mainly about?
A．A remarkable encounter. B．A famous food company.
C．A rescue of a weak horse. D．A career from previous devotion.

The sound of leaves underfoot is usually associated with autumn. But this year, it was the soundtrack to
summer walks across Europe, as maximum temperature records fell and the continent suffered its worst drought in
500 years.
The drought had been building for months after a dry winter and spring, but it was worse by a series of fierce
heatwaves over the summer, says Sim on Parry at the UK Centre for Ecology &Hydrology. In France, nuclear
power plants were forced to reduce their output as low river flows meant there wasn’t enough water to cool their
reactors. Water levels on the Rhine river dropped so far that ships loaded with goods in Germany and the
Netherlands, including coal and petrol, were unable to travel. Besides, farmers saw crops wither(枯萎). Harvests of
soya-beans and sunflower seeds were predicted to fall by between12 and 16 percent.
This was a crisis caused in large part by climate change, says Richard Allan, who is also at the University of
Reading. “Warming due to human-caused climate change made this event much more extreme,” he says. Studies
suggest that the drought was made at least 20 times more likely by global warming.However, that missing rainfall ends up somewhere, says Peter Gleick at the Pacific Institute in California. This
year’s disastrous floods in countries including Australia and Pakistan are the “flip side” of the droughts, he says.
“The droughts and the extreme floods that we are seeing are tied together, and are part and parcel of the broader
challenge of climate change,” says Gleick.
In the wake of a drought, it is critical that nature gets time to recover. But for Europe, this was the second
severe drought in four years. “My grass has already recovered from this summer... but if I had a tree that survived
it, that would take 10 years or more to get back to a normal state,” says Niko Wanders at Utrecht University in the
Netherlands.
28．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the sound?
A．To show the seasonal cycle. B．To describe the beauty of autumn.
C．To emphasize the dry weather. D．To clarify trees’ survival mode.
29．What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A．The reduction of river water. B．The duration(持续)of the drought.
C．The causes of various losses. D．The consequences of the disaster.
30．Which is probably the best way to tackle climate change according to the text?
A．Expanding climate monitoring. B．Improving human behavior.
C．Promoting natural restoration. D．Balancing water distribution.
31．What is the author’s attitude toward the climate change trend in Europe?
A．Conservative. B．Unclear. C．Concerned. D．Hopeful.

Portia Kapraun has always seen unwelcome ads on Twitter, usually from major brands pitching (竭力推销)
her expensive jewelry or vehicles that she, as a librarian in Indiana, could not afford. Ms. Kapraun was not
interested. But she soon saw the ads again. And again. And again. “These feel like low-end ads,” she said. In a
shaky advertising market in an uncertain economy, ads that few people want to see suddenly seem to be
everywhere.
Advancements in digital advertising technology were meant to improve users’ experience. People interested in
shoes are intended to get ads for sneakers and boots, not repeated pitches promoting gold investments. And the
technology is supposed to remove misleading or dangerous pitches. But lately, on several platforms, the opposite
seems to be happening for a variety of reasons, including a slowdown in the overall digital ad market. As numerous
deep-pocketed markets have pulled back, and the softer market has led several digital platforms to lower their ad
pricing, opportunities have opened up for less demanding advertisers.Advertising experts agree that poor-quality ads appear to be increasing greatly. They point to a variety of
potential causes: internal troubles at technology companies, weak content moderation (审核), and high-level
advertisers seeking other choices. Then, there’s the economy: A recent survey of 43 multinational companies
representing more than $44 billion in advertising spending found that nearly 30 percent planned to cut back on their
marketing spending last year.
Other factors are also contributing to lower advertising quality. Social media advertising, once only practiced
by specialists, is now easily available to anyone. Many of them are avoiding targeted ads—placements intended to
reach specific audiences, usually at a higher cost -- in favor of a cheaper spray-and-pray (广撒网式的) approach
online, hoping to catch the attention of gullible (容易受骗的) or bored shoppers. Major social media platforms are
now like “a mall that used to be good”, Corey Richardson, vice president at a multicultural ad company, says. “But
now there’s no longer a mall there —it’s just a place selling anything.”
32．What message does the author want to deliver in Portia Kapraun’s story?
A．Repeated ads have a strong power of persuasion.
B．Social media users often encounter unwanted ads.
C．Major brands usually prefer social media advertising.
D．An uncertain economy leads to lower levels of consumption.
33．What can be inferred about the “less demanding advertisers” mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A．They are forced to exit the digital ad market.
B．They have benefited from advertising experts.
C．They work hard to improve their users’ experience.
D．They can now advertise at a more affordable price.
34．What is Corey Richardson’s attitude to major social media platforms?
A．Negative. B．Unclear. C．Favorable. D．Hopeful
35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Where is social media advertising heading?
B．What is shaking up the online advertising market?
C．Why are you seeing so many bad digital ads now?
D．How are targeted ads impacting your-purchase decisions?

The longer we use our everyday household items, the more they will get worn out or the dirtier they willappear. Here are different ways to help clean or rest ore different antique items in our life.
Most people are hesitant to wash wooden furniture, but there are really effective ways you can clean up dirt
and oily substances and get smells out from it. Wash the wood with warm, soapy water and a brush to get into all
the corners. Then, clean the surface with a towel to absorb extra water. 36
Glass bottles, especially those with narrow necks, are hard to clean because of restricted access to the inside.
37 Pour it into the bottle and add vinegar. Cover the mouth with your hand and shake hard to clean the glass.
Repeat as many times as needed until the bottle shines. Wash with water and turn upside down to allow the bottle to
air dry.
Many people don’t want to be bothered with polishing the silver items. 38 Use a silver polish to
remove dirt with a cloth. For detailed pieces, put them into a silver cleaner. To prevent silver items from
discoloring, wrap them in plastic wrap if they won’t be used for a long time.
39 If the basket is just dusty, run a vacuum (真空吸尘器) with a brush attachment over it to clean.
If the basket is smelly, wash it with a pipe. Once clean, turn the basket upside down and allow it to dry prior to use.
If the metal is rusty (生锈的), clean the rusted areas with a wire brush to remove the rust. Test this method in a
small area to make sure it doesn’t damage the metal. 40 Clean it with a soft cloth and absorb extra oil
with a clean cloth.
