(2024·重庆巴南联考模拟预测)
It may sound like the plot of a Disney movie，but Todd，a fox，really does
think he’s a dog.The animal was tamed after being rescued as a 4－month－old baby
and was raised as a pet by owner Emma D’ Sylva.Since then the lovable fox has
picked up a number of dog characteristics such as tail wagging (摇尾巴)，playing
with toys and even walking on a lead.
The 11－month－old animal accompanies Emma’s pets Sky and Oakley on
walks，drawing double attention from other dog－walkers when they see Todd
moving quickly through the local park with Sky and Oakley.They thought as a fox，
he has too many dog characteristics.He also sleeps and plays with the other dogs and
even wags his tail during its feeding time.
“I’ve had Todd since he was about 4 months old because his previous owners
couldn’t look after him anymore.He was a bit crazy when he first came to me last
year，but now he has a really strong bond with me.He will run up to me wagging his
tail when I go to feed him，” Emma，25，from Stanfield，said.
“Sometimes he comes into my room，but he prefers being outside.He gets on
well with my two dogs，and wants to play with them all the time.If people or dogs
come up to him in the park，he will lie down at first and freeze but after a few
seconds he will sniff around the dogs or sit patiently.”
Emma takes some of her 40 pets into schools and care homes to enable children
and the elderly to interact with a range of animals.Emma’s husband ， Steve
Johnson，added，“Todd went out on his first school visit the other week and the
children really enjoyed playing with him.”

(2024·河北沧州三模)
In 1960，at just 26 years old，Jane Goodall was chosen to go to what is now
Tanzania and study the little－known world of chimpanzees.Since then，she has
received many awards and honorary degrees and become the model of some young
girls.
But before Goodall was a world－renowned conservationist，she was just a kid
who liked animals.She was born loving animals so people gave her diverse animal
toys.Now，Goodall has received an unusual honor.She is becoming a toy—a Barbie
doll with little girly clothes.
Goodall may not have expected to become a Barbie at 88 years old—but it’s not
just any doll；it’s made out of recycled plastic.And the Barbie is partnering with the
Jane Goodall Foundation and her Roots & Shoots program，which inspires young
people to protect others，animals and the environment.The main message is “every
day you live，you make an impact on the planet and you get to choose what sort of
impact you make.”
Once Goodall had given a talk about protecting the world in Burundi school and a
little boy of 7 came up to her and said，“If I pick out a piece of trash every day，it
will make a difference，won’t it？” She said，“Yes，it will.And suppose you
persuade 10 of your friends to pick up the rubbish every day.” He said，“Oh，that’s
it.They could all get 10 of their friends！”
Goodall has been inspiring young people for decades ， but now ， newer
generations will get to know Jane Goodall.“I sincerely hope that the Barbie will help
kids to create more interest and fascination (吸引) in the natural world，” she
said.“It doesn’t really matter if they have a career in conservation，as long as they
live an environment－friendly life.”

With the development of apps，social media has seemingly revolutionized theway we travel.Now，young people primary travel inspiration comes from social
media.Instead of choosing their destination from a selection in a catalogue at travel
agent like before，they scroll(滚动) through online posts in search of that ideal
location.
When it comes to planning the perfect holiday，social media has become a huge
factor for many young people today.Everybody wants to return home with an album
full of artistic and “instagramable” photos that show off their trips.The best way to
find that desired “post － able” holiday destination is now through social media
itself.Whether it is viewing a friend’s recent travel post，or a photo directly from a
travel account，social media inspires the desire to explore new places for so many of
its users.
Travel companies now also use social media as part of their own marketing
strategies.The majority of airlines，tour companies，hotels and other travel－related
businesses have their own Instagram，Facebook and Twitter pages to increase brand
awareness.One of the leading marketing strategies is the use of the social
influences.Research shows that 70% of teens trust influences more than traditional
celebrities—in 2018，1.6 billion were funnelled into sponsored influenced posts on
Instagram alone；and 63 % of 18－24－year－old Instagram users follow travel
influenced account.
However ， as with many aspects of social media ， there were obvious
disadvantages to this travel revolution.It could be argued that the obsession with
documenting and sharing your travel adventures online distracts from being present
and truly enjoying the experience.Our motives to travel seem to have shifted away
from a strong desire to travel and have become more egocentric (自我为中心的)，
travelling now for the sake of likes and follows.This draws away from some of the
most important elements of travel.
In general，social media has revolutionized the way we travel，providing tonnes
of inspiration and new opportunities.We should be grateful for the global awareness it
has given us，and the insight into new places and different means of travel.At the
same time，it is equally important not to allow the posts we see to affect our self－image or reflect on our own experiences any differently.

“It has nothing in common with anything else on the Bund(外滩)，”said Ben
Wood ， the American architect behind Shanghai’s famous Xintiandi District ，
commenting on the Fosun Foundation after its completion in 2016.“The great thing
about the Bund is that it’s grand.Perhaps a building that can stand out is needed here
to show that a company is progressive.But it’s not grand.”
For now，however，the Fosun Foundation—a new theatre—is proving popular
with riverside tourists.
Located in the Bund Finance Centre，the theatre was designed by cooperation of
two world － known British design firms ： Foster ＋ Partners and Heatherwick
Studio.The architectural highlight is the outward appearance—a golden，three－
layered(层)，steel bamboo curtain that hangs from the third floor.But what makes the
architecture really unique is that it “dances”：repeatedly each day，the curtain
slowly moves—opens and closes—with music.This visual element，combining East
and West，looks like both an ancient Chinese crown and a Western harp(竖琴).The
building’s ground floor entrance looks unclear，but once inside，you’ll see the space
reveal a hall and café，and traditional Chinese theatres on the upper floors.Although
there’re only four stories above ground，the building houses several music halls on
its three underground floors.
“The opportunity to make something new in this culturally historic location was
extraordinary，” said Thomas Heatherwick，Heatherwick Studio founder.“We
tried to make it an interesting addition to show Shanghai’s mix of modern and historic
architecture.”
The Fosun Foundation is only part of a bigger plan for this economic and cultural
centre in China.Along the Huangpu River，a massive waterfront art area is beingbuilt.Shanghai hopes to play a larger role in the global art industry in the coming
years.
What Shanghai makes of this new riverside project remains to be seen.But with
the Fosun Foundation open to the public，the area’s rapid transformation is bringing
up discussions in China’s arts scene and beyond.

及其意义。
16.What did Ben Wood mainly talk about?
A.How to keep the Bund area progressive.
B.Why the Bund area doesn’t stand out.
C.How to make the Fosun Foundation grand.
D.Why the Fosun Foundation doesn’t fit the area.
答案 D [推理判断题。根据第一段内容可推知，Ben Wood主要谈论了复星艺
术中心不适合外滩的原因。]
17.What makes the theatre unusual?
A.The colour of its appearance. B.The material of the building.
C.The movement of its curtain. D.The music of a different type.

(2024·山西太原一模)
Museums become the next stop many students want to visit at their leisure. 1
.However，the experience of visiting a museum could be quite disappointing if not
done right, even for the experienced museum goers.
2 .No matter how much you’re enjoying yourself, many museums can take
hours, days, or even weeks to fully explore.If you try to put it all in, you will get worn
out to the point that you won’t really be seeing anything.Pick a few paintings and
explore them in a detailed way, and your museum experience will be more relaxing.
Have you ever started your visit by waiting in line in front of the museum for a
few hours just to get in? And that’s the sad reality when visiting many of those world
－famous museums.Thus, be smart to browse the instructions for visiting and book in
advance online. 3 .
What if you don’t like some museums？Then don’t visit them！I’m not a
massive fan of parks, so I would hardly ever end up in any park while travelling. 4
.Do they have a nice collection of an art style you love? Just ask yourself and visit the
museum website to see what the highlights are.
There is nothing worse than impolite manners while visiting.We’ve all witnessed
that guy being yelled at by the security for touching or taking flash photos. 5
.Otherwise, not only will you absolutely get embarrassed by security guards, but you
can actually ruin artworks!
All of these ground rules are often neglected by us.Bear them in mind before
setting off, and you will enjoy your museum tour!
A.It’s the same with the museums
B.But most of them do it all wrong
C.If you haven’t，don’t let it be you
D.That way you can have an easy access
E.The first step is to research how to enjoy everythingF.Sometimes you may sigh museum tiredness is a real thing
G.Generally，there is no right or wrong way to visit a museum
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要说明了参观博物馆要事先做好准备，
参观博物馆时要守规矩。
1.G [ 根据下文内容：然而，如果做得不对，参观博物馆的经历可能会非常令
人失望，即使是对有经验的博物馆游客来说也是如此。后面的However和G 选
项“一般来说，参观博物馆的方式没有对错之分。”形成转折。]
2.F [ F选项“有时你可能会感叹博物馆疲劳是真实存在的。”引出本段对于
庞大耗时的博物馆参观应如何取舍的建议。]
3.D [根据空前内容“因此，明智地浏览访问指南并提前在线预订。”可知，
在网上提前预订就不用等待，选择 D 项 That way you can have an easy
access(那样你就可以轻松访问)最为恰当。]
4.A [根据空前内容：如果你不喜欢一些博物馆怎么办？那就不要去游览它
们！我不太喜欢公园，所以我在旅行时几乎不会去任何公园。引出A项It’s the
same with the museums(博物馆也是如此)，与上面的 park 形成鲜明的递进、对
比关系，所以 A 为正确选项。]
5.C [根据空前内容“我们都目睹过某个家伙因为触摸或拍闪光灯照片而被保
安冲着大喊”可知，作者想要劝大家不要做这样不礼貌的事情。C项“如果你
没有这样，不要让它发生在你身上。”为正确选项。]

helped me teach other people how to get the best out of their cats.
I opened my own animal－training business when I thought about getting a cat—
everyone said cats can’t be trained，but I wanted to 4 them wrong.People would
be amazed at how 5 time is required to teach your pet quite extraordinary
things.
I started searching for potential kittens to adopt.I went to a 6 ，and I met
Didga.The lady there said，“She’s really 7 to get your attention.” I adopted herand never looked back.
Didga knows a handful of tricks that took over a year to learn.It’s an incredible
8 when a cat does a trick I’ve been trying to teach for so long.As a trainer，I
understand the preparation，the 9 ，and how to break everything down into
baby steps. 10 ，you wouldn’t be able to train a cat if they didn’t want it，and I’d
never 11 one beyond its comfort zone.If Didga doesn’t like it，I stop or go in a
12 direction.
I started a You Tube channel to teach people to have a better relationship with
their cats.People are fascinated when they see my skateboarding cat，and very few
are 13 .Didga has changed my life.She has taken me to levels I would never have
14 .I won the lotto，so to speak， 15 a cat like Didga.
