Love Is Blind: The Magic of Tabby

In October, 2021, I started my work at my local animal shelter’s Adoption Department. Over the years, more than 50, 000 animals have   16    the doors of the shelter. Most of them, I do not remember. But occasionally there are   17   animals, who touch me so deeply that I could never possibly   18  them. Tabby was one such animal.

Tabby was an ancient Cocker Spaniel, probably 14 years old. What's more, she was blind and deaf. Tabby’s chances at adoption seemed   19   at best. After all, there weren’t many adopters coming here   20  , “Can you show me all of your really old dogs who are also   21   ?” We had all thought that Tabby would live out the rest of her life at the   22  .

One day a woman named Loretta came to the shelter. Her son, Gary, had  23  Tabby’s picture and stories on the shelter’s website at home. They were interested in meeting her! It was the only  24  we ever had from others about Tabby. What could a young child possibly see in a 14-year-old dog who was both blind and deaf? Most boys would want a dog who could grow with them and  25 through grassy fields on summer days. Tabby would  26  be able to do that. But after meeting her, Loretta and Gary decided that she was the right dog for their family. They adopted Tabby!

If Tabby’s story had simply ended with her   27   adoption, it would still have been something very special indeed.   28  , it was what happened after her adoption that people might regard as “magic”. Gary   29   from seizures (癫痫). Since Gary and Tabby met, they became   30  . They did everything together. They became so “in tune” with one another that Tabby began to telegraph Gary’s seizures   31   they occurred, giving his family a (n)   32   that one was about to strike. What's more, Gary seemed to be having fewer and fewer seizures since Tabby’s    33   .

How could it be? Nobody could explain   34    Tabby did it. But those of us who were fortunate enough to know her and her family had  35    the magic, the kind that has its roots in love.

16. A. passed   B. broken    C. opened   D. locked

17. A. strange   B. active    C. special    D. wild

18. A. recall   B. abandon   C. leave    D. forget

19. A. possible   B. great    C. remote    D. bright

20. A. whispering  B. asking    C. seeking   D. explaining

21. A. disabled   B. active    C. stubborn   D. patient

22. A. hospital   B. roadside   C. farm    D. shelter

第二部分: 阅读理解 (共20小题;每小题2. 5分，满分50分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。

A

Welcome to Olympic National Park!

The park is located in the western state of Washington and it is on the Olympic Peninsula, in the northwest part of the state. It covers more than 400,000 hectares. Each area of the park offers visitors something special. Here are some places to go.

★ Elwha Valley

The Elwha Valley is in the central part of the park. It is the Olympic Peninsula’s largest watershed(分水岭). Long ago, the rivers in this area held the most salmon(鲑鱼) outside of Alaska. In the 1920s, a growing community of settlers built two hydroelectric(水力发电) dams to provide energy for the local economy. The dams created many problems for the river. They decreased the water in the rivers, which caused the fish population in the area to decrease. This affected the other animals that depended on fish for food.

The community later decided to fix these problems. In 1992, Congress passed the Elwha River Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act. Both dams have been removed. Today, the Elwha River is the site of one of the largest ecosystem restoration projects in National Park Service history.

★ Hoh River Valley

The Hoh River is on the west side of the park. The river is formed from melted glacial ice on top of Mount Olympus. The river is 80 kilometers long. It empties into the Pacific Ocean.

The area receives about 400 centimeters of rain each year. Because of the amount of rain, many different types of plants grow in the Hoh rainforest.

The Hoh River Valley is protected from any logging or development.

★ Hurricane Ridge

Hurricane Ridge is a mountain area in the northern part of the park. It is easy to enter, and provides incredible views of the Olympic Mountains.

The ridge has many hiking paths. In winter, people come here to ski. They also come here to take part in other fun winter activities, like sledding and snowboarding.

Hurricane Ridge usually has snow from December through the end of March. Visitors must be prepared for icy roads and severe weather.

36. What’s the purpose of the passage?

A. To attract visitors to the park.

B. To tell about the park’s history.

C. To show the variety of the park.

D. To stress the importance of ecosystem.

37. What happened to the Elwha River after building two dams?

A. Local settlers had enough energy.

B. The Elwha Valley was formed.

C. The ecosystem was greatly affected.

D. Animals’ living conditions became better.

38. How was the Hoh River originally formed?

A. Through earthquake. B. From sea water.

C. From rain water. D. From melted glacial ice.

39. When visiting Hurricane Ridge in winter, what will most probably happen?

A. You will easily get lost.

B. You will have no fun.

C. You will slip over on the icy road.

D. You will enjoy fine sunshine.

40. Which place is most suitable for winter activities?

A. Elwha Valley B. Hurricane Ridge

C. Hoh River Valley D. The Hoh rainforest

Eight months after my father died, I saw some letters on top of my mother’s coffee table. They were tied with a silk ribbon and addressed to her decades ago in my father’s neat handwriting. I couldn’t imagine my serious father ever writing anything like love letters.

“Would you like me to read them to you?” Mom asked with a hint of a smile.

The letters were written in 1974 over the course of a month when my father traveled to Italy to care for his beloved, sick mother, leaving his wife and me, their newborn daughter, behind in Toronto, the city my parents called home after immigrating to Canada from Italy in 1956.

Growing up, my father was my hero and protector, but he was also a man of few words, part of a generation of immigrant men who worked hard for a better life.

I sat back while my mother read his letters to me, and thought, “Who is this guy?” My father used endearing terms I had never heard him say. He referred to my mother as “my dearest” and “my companion” who was always in his thoughts. In each letter, he enclosed a Canadian one-dollar bill for me and declared, “You and your mother are my life.”

As children, we assume we know everything about our parents. But, sometimes, we find out that they were and are people with various facets.

My father was proud and stubborn, and he married a woman who was his equal in that regard. During their 58-year marriage, their stubbornness often led to conflict. So it was bittersweet to hear my father’s youthful sentiments read aloud by my elderly mother with a wistful (留恋的) tone. I knew she was thinking about what could have been and what had been once upon a time. After she finished reading the letters, I held them in my hands and examined them like they were fossils. Although a man I knew as economical with his thoughts, he had filled the front and back of several pages.

These letters are only part of their correspondence. My mother wrote back to my father. One day she will read those letters to me, she’s assured me. And just as with my father, they might help me discover another dimension of a parent I never knew before.

41. What kind of person did the author think her father was?

A. Optimistic. B. Reserved. C. Sensitive. D. Romantic.

42. What can we know about the author’s family?

A. Her mother was the family’s provider.

B. She didn’t get on well with her father.

C. Her parents were emigrants to Italy.

D. Her parents shared similar personalities.

43. What does the underlined word “facets” in paragraph 6 most probably mean?

A. Interests. B. Ideas. C. Sides. D. Possibilities.

44. How did the author feel when she heard the words in the letters?

A. Surprised. B. Awkward. C. Thrilled. D. Heartbroken.

45. What did the author find out about her father through the letters?

A. He was good at hiding his feelings.

B. He regretted not being with his family.

C. He was a loving husband and father.

D. He was stubborn from the inside out.

C

The Memorial Art Gallery (MAG) opened its doors again this weekend for the University of Rochester’s Clothesline Arts Festival. This event has been an annual tradition at the Centennial Sculpture Park right outside the MAG for the last 62 years. Initially organized with less than 100 artists showing their work on clothes lines and fences, this festival has attracted over 500 artists from across the nation.

The park was decorated with colorfultents where artists proudly displayed their works. Each tent was a story within itself — a display of skill, creativity, and years of experience.

Piche Design, a unique custom creation art store owned by Chuck Peashy, had one of the most interesting tents: an eye-catching, old setting with lamps shaped like musical instruments. “People come to me with objects that belonged to their long-gone loved ones, and I make beautiful items out of those for them. It is, indeed, rewarding,” said Peashy.

Jill Schiller started doodling (涂鸦) when she was very young. Her hobby gave way to a series of super cool modern designs. She now draws with Swedish weaving techniques on scarves, carpets, bags, and T-shirts in her tent. Schiller believes that it is evidently a great method of expressing creativity and emotion.

George Banagis’ tent, which presented watercolor and pen and ink pieces, had a variety of options. His complicated pen and ink illustrations were available in the original full-size versions, which were made after weeks of effort, and also small, affordable postcards, notepads, and other souvenirs. Visitors loved this inexpensive form of art and flooded inside to buy.

Visitors also experienced all seven continents in one tent, Tatarzyn Photography. From penguins lined up on an Antarctic coastline to swans and wandering African elephants, Ted Tatarzyn has traveled all around the world to catch these moments of amazing creatures with a camera. “This is actually my second career,” said Tatarzyn, who interestingly worked at Kodak for many years before its shutdown. He then started touring around the world for the pictures.

Strolling across the little artistic showcases is a learning experience that every student should take advantage of. And Clothesline had many other stories to tell.

46. What was the Clothesline Arts Festival most probably named after at first?

A. The hosting place of the festival. 

B. The diverse artists joining the event.

C. The unique way of displaying works. 

D. The cloths and various materials used.

47. What do we know about Piche Design?

A. It focuses on the musical instrument design. 

B. It helps people recall their loved ones.

C. It repairs valuable things for people. 

D. It mainly sells classical furniture.

48. What do Jill Schiller’s and George Banagis’ tents have in common?

A. They are both about art drawings with strong personal styles.

B. They are both popular among university students.

C. They both display products with local cultures.

D. They are both about inexpensive paintings.

49. What is the main topic of the tent Tatarzyn Photography?

A. Travel experience sharing. 

B. Artistic creativity training.

C. Professional camera skill teaching. 

D. Animal photos displaying.

50. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To remember a 62-year-old tradition. 

B. To recommend some excellent artists.

C. To advertise a secondhand market. 

D. To introduce a special artistic festival.

My two kids and I go to the library every week. I love getting a huge bag of books and feeling the excitement to see where they take us. It’s a strong memory that I have from my own childhood and I cherish the idea of repeating it with my kids. However, the more time I spend at the library with my family, the more I realize that its benefits go beyond just a bag of new books to read. The resources libraries provide and the values they advocate are making my kids into better humans.

Just as importantly, libraries are institutions devoted to sharing information and ideas. Libraries were participating in a sharing economy long before Netflix or Airbnb. Sharing copies of books, DVDs and other media has a major environmental advantage over purchasing new copies. What’s more, libraries make a commitment to sharing, which is so beneficial and can be carried over into the rest of our lives.

For my kids, learning about how our library books are just on loan to us and belong to everyone in the community was the first lesson on how to take care of things so that they can last and be used by many people. The idea of treating things as important long-lasting objects instead of disposable (一次性的) ones was easy to drive home when it was connected to the library books that they love checking out. It also is a great way to talk about sharing resources and how we have to think beyond ourselves.

During our last visit to the library, my kids picked out their usual big stack of books. The subjects ranged from how cocoa beans are made into chocolate to a duck that has lost his socks. Every time they pick out books in the library, whether they are informative or very silly, they’re learning about how the world works, and strengthening their imaginations. And by encouraging them to do that now, I’m hopefully starting a lifelong habit for my kids.

51. What do we know about the author?

A. She used to do the reading in groups.

B. She contributes annually to a bookstore.

C. She enjoyed going to the library as a child.

D. She regards new books as the highlight of the library.

52. Why does the author mention Netflix and Airbnb in Paragraph 2?

A. To introduce the long history of libraries.

B. To stress the sharing economy is welcomed by people.

C. To show libraries represent a sharing economy for long.

D. To compare the differences between libraries and Netflix and Airbnb.

53. Children’s realizing that library books are public property helps them learn to__________.

A. deal with disposable things properly

B. make the best of the community

C. have a strong sense of belonging

D. value good things and pass them down

54. Which of the following may the author agree with?

A. Reading helps develop a habit of writing.

B. Wide reading can fire children’s imagination.

C. Children are advised to choose books wisely.

D. Children are less interested in informative books.

55. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Benefits of Visiting the Library with Kids

B. Teaching Our Children to Share Things

C. Making Our Children Competent Readers

D. Memories of Happy Moments in the Library

阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。

When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn’t afford the operation because her family was poor.

Her mother ran a boarding house in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic (阁楼) one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript (手稿). On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So, it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston boarding house, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.

My father then set out to sell it. Eventually, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loved the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.

My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story.

56. What did the author’s father do at SMU? (no more than 12 words)

______________________________________________________________________________

57. Why was O. Henry’s manuscript found in the attic? (no more than 20 words)

59. Why did the author’s father set out to sell the manuscript? (no more than 10 words)

60. What do you think of the author’s intention of writing such a story of his father?

Please explain. (no more than 25 words)
