If you offer your cat a toy filled with catnip (樟脑草), its action might be quite funny and
silly. It may lie on its back, move wildly around, drool (流口水), bite the toy or touch it with its
faceandbody.
What’shappeninghere?Whatdoescatnipdotocats?
Catnip has strong stems (茎) with coarse – toothed leaves. The tips of the plant’s stems will
grow white or pink flowers. Catnip has a chemical called nepetalactone (荆芥内酯) in its leaves
and stems. When a cat smells the chemical, it will experience a strong sense of happiness. That
can last for about five to fifteen minutes, and then the cat loses interest and needs for about two
hoursof“reset”timebeforeitcanhavethesameaction.
However,catnip doesn’t work on all cats.About 75 percent of cats are influenced by catnip.
Young cats and older cats are less likely to be influenced. Catnip has been proved to influence
more thanjust house cats. Big cats, suchas lions andtigers, andhouses cats reactinsimilar ways
whentheysmellcatnip.
Catnip is completely safé. However, you shouldn’t let your cat smell catnip too often. Or it
maygettoousedtonepetalactoneandnotreacttothechemicalinthefuture.Catniphasbeenused
by humans as a medicine for a long time. Humans have used it to treat nausea, headaches and
toothaches.

Carsarelotsoffun,buttheycouldalsobedangerous. 9
It’s always a good idea to wear your seat belt(安全带) when you’re in a car. Why? Think
about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a

12 because sometimes a seat belt isn’t enough. If the car is going really fast and runs
into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them. 13 When a car hits
something, its air bags will come out quickly in less than one second to keep the people inside
safe.

一、阅读短文，回答问题
According to a two-year study, people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet
experiencedmore depression (消沉) andloneliness than thosewho didn’t surf theInternet. Using
theInternetreallycausesbadfeelings.
Researchers are puzzled over the results, which are completely differentfrom their thoughts.
TheythoughtthattheInternetwouldbemuchhealthier thanTV,sincetheInternetallows usersto
choosetheirinformationandtocommunicatewithothers.
In fact, it reduces the time that is used to communicate with families and friends, and they
may be less psychologically (心理上) happy in virtual (虚拟的) world. Another possibility is
shownthattheInternetmakesusersfeellesssatisfiedwiththeirlives.
“Butit’s importanttoremember thatthe problembehinditis notthe Internet, buthow touse

二、选择填空
1-5DBDBA 6-10ACCCA
1.D 本题考查的是学生对文本的理解和常识的相结合。
2.B 本题考查了学生对单词词性的判定。前一句中be动词后面用形容词性的单词，后一句
中“the+名词 +of”是固定结构。
3.D 本题考查了副词（短语）的用法。inorderto 表示目的，asaresult表示结果，forexample
表示举例，moreover表示补充说明。
4.B 本题考查了疑问词的选用。根据语境，上文问的是对徐州的看法，结合句型Whatdoyou
thinkof…?(what作think的宾语)/Howdoyoulike…?（how 修饰实意动词like）, 所以B
正确。
5.A 本题考查了形式宾语。要注意形式主语句型与形式宾语句型仅仅差了一个be。
6.A 本题考查了情态动词表示推测的用法。结合下文的Isawhimgointotheofficeamoment
ago.可知老师在办公室的可能性非常大，所以A正确。
7.C 本题考查了动词不定式to的固定搭配用法。所以C正确。
8.C 本题考查了excited与exciting的区别：excited意思是“兴奋的”，exciting意思是“使...
兴奋的”excited的主语多是人，exciting的主语多是事物，所以C正确。
9.C 本题考查了感观动词的用法，注意句中有表示频率的副词often，这就暗示感观的是一
般性、经常性的动作，感观动词后面的非谓语动词要使用省去to的不定式。
10.A 本题考查的是交际用语，上文的天气晴朗和下文飞来几只天鹅都暗示很适合去观鸟。
三、连词成句
1.(P69)Howmanytypesofcranesarethereintheworld?

10.meaningful be单词was后面要跟上形容词。二、完形填空
1-5DBDAA 6-10BCBAD 11-15CACAD
1. 本题考查了时态的判定。Formanyyears是现在完成时态的标志。
2. 本题考查了比较级的判定。结合语境，句子的意思是“地球正变得更加温暖”。
3. 结合下文的Atlanta、Georgia可以确定是美国的南部而非北部，在结合“形容词修饰名词”
可知D正确。
4. 句子the city ofAtlanta in Georgia hasroof temperature ofupto 50℃ 4 it is 27 ℃in
thestreets!前后是转折关系，所以A正确。
5. 句子主语theoutsideofbuildings中心词是outside，名词、单数，所以谓语动词要用三单
形式。
6. 结合句意“中国也有同样的难题”，是要解决的而非是要回答的问题（question），也不是麻
烦（trouble），更不是疑问（doubt）。
7. 实义动词need在这儿表示的是被动，在结合上下文用一般现在时态，所以C正确。
8. 句意是“改变这种情况很困难”，不是“不可能”，所以B正确。
