What do you think of cats? Some people think them very lovely. But not all people love cats. Compared with dogs, cats seem to be very lazy and unfriendly. Besides, cats are not known for acts of selflessness (无私). But maybe we’re wrong about them. Don’t believe it? Then meet Pippa, a very unusual cat.
The black-and-white cat was left in a box outside a shop and taken by the British RSPCA to the Jansa family in Whitstable, Kent. They really loved her character (性格) and decided to adopt (收养) it，but they never guessed she’d become a lifesaver.
Eight-year-old Mia Jansa had diabetes and had become good at testing her blood during the day, as well as having something to eat or drink to bring her blood sugar levels back. But the danger was at night. Mia could easily experience hypoglycemic (低血糖症的) situations when she was asleep, which could cause even death.
Soon after she was adopted, Pippa went into Mia’s bedroom in the middle of the night and woke her up. When the child tested her blood sugar levels, she found they were dangerously low. Ever since, Pippa always visits Mia at night. If she can’t get her to wake up, she raises the alarm.
“Pippa does this of her own accord,” says Mia’s mother Laura. “We don’t make a request for caring because we don’t want to encourage wrong alarms. She gets plenty of hugs. It gives me peace of mind and I know someone else is keeping an eye on Mia.”
Now the family is so happy that they’ve chosen to adopt it in the first place.
24.Why did the family decide to adopt the cat?
A. Because they considered it as a lifesaver. B. Because they really loved her looks.
C. Because her character interested them. D. Because Mia Jansa needed help.
25.What problem did Mia Jansa face?
A. She was bad at testing her blood.
B. She might suffer death in the daytime.
C.She couldn’t let her blood sugar levels return to normal.
D. She might be in danger while asleep at night.
26.For what does Pippa visit Mia at night?
A. To see if her blood sugar levels are normal. B. To make her laugh when she’s lonely.
C. To make sure that she is safe. D. To play with the alarm.
27.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Pippa does that according to her own habits. B. Pippa does that without being asked.
C. Pippa does that for her own good. D. Pippa does that without a purpose.
C
The biggest and the smallest of the world's animals are most likely to die out, according to a new analysis, with vertebrates (脊椎动物)in the so - called " Goldilocks zone"—not too big and not too small—winning out. Action is needed to protect animals at both ends of the scale, they say. The research adds to evidence that animals are dying out on such a scale that a sixth extinction is considered under way.
One clue is body size. Research on birds and mammals has shown that those with larger bodies are more likely to go extinct. Yet, when the researchers made a database of thousands of birds, mammals, fish, amphibians （两栖动物）and reptiles （爬行动物）that are likely to be extinct, they found disproportionate （不成比例的） losses at the large and small ends of the scale.
“Surprisingly, we found that not only the largest of all vertebrate animal species are most threatened, but the very tiniest ones are also highly threatened with extinction,” Prof. Ripple told BBC News.
Large animals, such as elephants, rhinos （犀牛）and lions have long been the target of protection efforts. However, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians that are the giants of their kind, such as the whale shark, Somali ostrich （鸵鸟）and the Chinese giant salamander （蝶嫄）,tend to be overlooked. Meanwhile, small endangered species -- such as frogs and shrews （ MSSS） receive very little attention.
“I think, for the smallest species, first of all we need to bring more attention to them, because the larger ones get a lot of attention, but the smaller ones get very little ," said Prof. Ripple.
In the study, vertebrates with the smallest and the largest bodies were found to be most likely to disappear, whether they were on land or living in oceans, streams or rivers.
Heavyweights are threatened mainly by hunting, while featherweights are losing out to pollution and cutting down forests. " Ultimately, reducing global consumption of wild meat is a key step to reduce negative impacts of hunting, fishing, and trapping on the world's vertebrates,” they write in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,
28. What made the researchers feel surprised?
A. A sixth of animals are dying out. B. Small animals are in great danger.
C. Great losses of birds and mammals. D. Big animals are likely to disappear.
29. What should we do first for the smallest species according to Prof. Ripple?
A. Transform（变换） our habits. B. Change our concepts(观念；想法).
C. Find ways to save small animals. D. Take measures to stop pollution.
30. What presents the great threat to vertebrates according to the last paragraph?
A. Loss of forests. B. Climate change.
C. Human activities. D. Environmental pollution.
31. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Size Matters When It Comes to Extinction Risk
B. Large Animals Are Badly in Need of Protection
C. Why a Great Number of Animals Are Dying out
D. What We Should Do to Protect Endangered Species
D
Recovering strength and movement after an injury often involves physical therapy（治疗）.Physical therapists help patients with brain or bone injuries regain control of their muscles.Exereising muscles plays an important part in the rehabilitation（康复）process.Therapists use balls and boards to improve balance，stretchy bands to increase strength and other exercise.
But a Polish technology company Egzotech has developed a robot called Luna，to make exercise interactive.Luna can help therapists choose the best exercise for their patients.The robot also provides therapists with information about their patients' progress.
l.una uses electromyography，or EMG，to identify electrical currents as patients bend their arms or legs.Michal Mikulski is the chief executive officer of Egzotech.He says detecting muscle tension not immediately visible to the human eye can help therapists design better exercise.
“We reach a certain stage of disease development..when the muscle tension is not even visible.But these signals can still be seen on our machines.Luna is still able to detect them.And based on that，when the brain sends a signal to the muscle to flex，even though we don't see it，Luna is still able to detect it.It detects these signals and causes the movement of the limb（肢），as if it were performed naturally."
Luna can also make therapy fun for children who often get bored with repeated movements，Luna permits them to play games without knowing that they are exercising their muscles
“Sometimes it is a spacecraft，sometimes shooting balls，sometimes flying a dragon.In any case，a child wants to win a game，wants to compete，but in fact they are exercising."
Luna is just a protorype（原型）.But Egzotech expects to have other robots ready for sale later this year.
32.What can be learned from paragraph 1?
A.Physical therapy can stop the pain.
B.Physical therapists help the brain work fast.
C.Exercising muscles matters much in recovery.
D.Recovering process proves to be quite difficult.
33.What can Luna do?
A.Help prevent muscle tension. B.Avoid making muscle injuries.
C.Help Egzotech make more robots. D.Help doctors make better recovery plans.
34.What benefits can Luna bring to children?
A.It can make exercise interesting and effective.
B.It makes them win more awards in competitions.
C.It makes children get more achievements with less time.
D.It makes them realize the importance of exercising muscles.
35.What is the text mainly about?
A.How Luna works. B.How patients fight injuries.
C.How Luna makes therapy fun. D.How therspists help patients.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m glad to know that you’re going to hold an international exchange meeting about the Silk Road in our city this August. And volunteers are being needed. I’d like very much to be one of them.
Interested in the Silk Road for many years, I’ve read many books about it. So I have rich knowledge of it. Besides, I can express myself fluently and clearly in English. Moreover, I’m free in August with the final exam being over.
I’d appreciate it if you could give me an early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

There was a phone number on the flyer. My dad called it and someone answered; it was a lady. My dad asked whether she was the one who put out the flyers. She said “Yes!” with excitement and told us Coby, who was very dear to her, had been gone days before. Then we told her that we had her puppy and we would take him to her. She told us her address at once; then we went to it.
We found the lady’s house, and then we knocked on the door. A lady opened the door, and when she saw the puppy, she screamed with joy. We handed her the puppy, feeling proud. She wanted to give us a reward for taking care of her puppy for her, but we said it was OK because we were really happy to help. So we went home tired but content, telling my mom the whole thing. My family became friends with the lady, and we were all happy.

What is it like to travel in space? If you have ever watched space movies, you may know something about it. Aurora Station is the world's first space hotel. US company Orion Span built the hotel. The hotel is around 12 feet wide and 35 feet long. It plans to welcome its first guests in 2022.lt will fly 320 kilometers above Earth. It can hold six people at a time. Two of them will be workers. They may be former NASA astronauts. Each trip aboard the station will last for 12 days. Guests there will be able to do many interesting things. For example, they will see around 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours. They can take part in research experiments such as growing food in space. Later, they can bring the food back to earth as a souvenir. These are the same things as astronauts usually do. Guests can also share what they see and hear with others on Earth. They can have a video chat using a high-speed Internet connection. But each guest will have to pay at least $9.5 million. That's really a large amount of money.
