Americans love pets so much. In America, there are more families with pets than those with
children. Foreign animals such as monkeys, snakes and even wolves find a home with Americans.
More common pets include tropical fish, mice and birds. But the favorites are always cats and
dogs in America.
A dog’s life in America isn’t so bad. Many stores sell pet food to owners. In Houston, Texas, dogs
can have take-away food as their dinner like pizza. Pets can even go on vacation with their
owners. Some top hotels are beginning to allow both guests and nets to live in.
Most Americans strongly believe pets have a right to be treated well. Researchers have
discovered that living with animals can lower a person，s blood pressure. Dogs can help
prevent thieves and unwelcome visitors. Cats can help get rid of unwanted pests (害虫) in
the house. Almost all pets can provide people with warmth and love. In some ways,
having a pet means preparing a young couple for the duty to be parents. Pets even
improve social relationships: they make their owners look friendlier and bring a better
topic of conversation.

just property (财产), but a part of the family.

In most parts of Europe, people never know what the weather will be like in winter. Canadians
know what winter means. When the last leaves fall off the trees in autumn, Canadians know that
winter is coming, and that it will be cold or very cold! When the cold air blows south in the winter
months, Canadians know that the temperature will fall below 20°C or even lower. And because
they know that it is going to happen, Canadians are ready for it!
In Edmonton, the first snows of winter can sometimes come in October. When this happens,
people in Edmonton say that it is a little early, but then just get on with their normal lives.
Usually winter lasts from November to March in Canada. The temperature during the daytime in
the city rarely rises above freezing. From time to time, the temperature in the city may not rise
above -20°C.
The easiest way to keep away from the cold is to stay indoors as much as possible! However, this
does not mean that you have to stay at home. Some shopping centers have underground or indoor
parking places. In the city center, it is often possible to walk from one building to another, and
underground or above ground, without having to go out in the cold. Also, many people keep their
cars indoors. Without going outside, they can reach them.
()36. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?
A. It is really cold in winter in Canada.
B. Canadians are afraid of cold winters.
C. All the leaves fall off in winter in Canada.
D. Europeans aren’t good at predicting the weather.

A. The first snows in Edmonton are heavy.
B. Edmontonians don’t have normal lives.
C. Edmontonians like winter very much.
D. Winter sometimes comes early in Edmonton.
()38. What’s the easiest way to keep away from the cold Canadian winter?
A. Doing exercise.
B. Going shopping.
C. Staying at parking places.
D. Staying indoors.
()39. Why do many people keep their cars indoors?
A. To save money.
B. To make cars safe.
C. To reach cars without being cold.
D. To keep cars clean.

A Chinese spacecraft (航天器) called Chang’e-4 made the first soft landing on the far
side of the moon at 10:26 am on January 3, 2019. It is the first time a spacecraft hasmade it. The far side is the part of the moon that always faces away from the Earth.
After it landed on the ground, the spacecraft took the first photo of the “dark side” of
the moon, and sent it back to the Earth through the Queqiao relay satellite (中继卫星).
The scientists launched the satellite into space last May.
“What we know about the far side of the moon is from orbiters (轨道飞行器)，from
Russia, the U.S., European countries, China and India, Andrew Coates, Professor of
Physics at University College London, told a reporter. China sent Chang’e-4 into space
from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in December, 2018. Sending a spacecraft to the
far side of the moon isn’t easy，because the far side is covered in craters (环形山).
Some of its mountains are higher than Qomolangma, the highest mountain in the world.
What’s more, we can’t see the far side because it takes the moon about 28 days to move around
the Earth with the same side always facing our planet. Direct communication with Earth is
impossible on the far side of the moon, so communications must go through a communications
satellite. That was why scientists launched the Queqiao relay satellite.
()41. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A. The spacecraft. B. The satellite.
C. The photo. D. The moon.
()42. Why did scientists launch the Queqiao relay satellite?
A. To help Chang’e-4 move around the moon.
B. To get information of other relay satellites.
C. To send pictures of space to scientists on the Earth.
D. To let scientists know how Chang9e-4 works.
()43. What do the last two paragraphs mainly tell us?
A. Why sending a spacecraft to the far side of the moon is difficult.
B. How China sent Chang’e-4 into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center.
C. The differences between the mountains on the Earth and the mountains on the moon.
D. How the moon travels around the Earth with the same side always facing our planet.
()44. What CANNOT we know from the passage?
A. When Chang’e-4 landed on the far side of the moon.
B. How scientists sent the Queqiao relay satellite into space.
C. What Chang’e-4 did after landing on the far side of the moon.
D. From what people know about the far side of the moon.
()45. Where does the passage probably come from?
A. A notice. B. A piece of news.
C. A letter. D. A diary.
