Many people like traveling. but they cannot take their dogs wherever they go. Some people let their dogs stay alone at home while others ask someone else to take care of their pets. If you’re leaving your beloved pet at home for a holiday, it can turn into a bad experience. Luckily, you don’t have to worry about your dogs anymore because Rover can cover for you while you are on leave. Rover is the latest service to offer at home dog boarding. It’s a good alternative(替代物)to boarding your dog at a dog boarding kennel(狗舍)or your neighbor’s house.

The way Rover works is sort of like Airbnb. Dog owners surf the Rover website or app for pet sitters (照看者), which can be organized by zip code(邮政编码)and available dates. Information of pet sitters is provided, complete with many reviews, specific services and rates. Now Rover has over 25,000 pet sitters in more than 5,000 US cities. And they’re all experienced pet sitters.

After finding someone that meets your needs, just send messages to the pet sitter to arrange a meeting. Then, like Rover says, all that is left to do is relax! Rover’s pet sitters are encouraged to send text and picture information throughout the day, and if there’s a medical emergency, the site will send a vet(兽医).Besides, don’t worry about a pet sitter who fails to help you, because someone else will soon take his or her place.

Have you ever been sad because of failure? Please remember, for often, achieving what you set out to do is not the most important thing.

A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house. As he was working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a while, the boy picked up a jar. He showed it to the visitors. It was full of all kinds of stones and insects. Then he said calmly and confidently, “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I’ve found during this period!”

The boy’s goal was far too difficult, but it did cause him to go on. And that is what a goal is for—to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen, in other words, to cause us to keep working!

Not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you fall short of your aim, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look at what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things having come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really makes sense.

24. The older boys laughed at the boy because he was thought to be _______.

A. brave        B. impolite       C. foolish         D. warm-hearted

25. Why did the boy show the jar to the older boys?

A. To drive them away.

B. To attract them to join him in the work.

C. To show how beautiful the jar was.

D. To show what he had found in digging.

26. What can be learnt from the fourth paragraph of the text?

A. Goals will make us work harder.   

B. All work will end successfully.

C. Goals shouldn't be set too high.    

D. Not dream can come true.

27. The best title for the text should be _______.

A. Joy in the Journey.       B. A Boy Dug a Hole.

C. No Pains, No Gains.      D. Failure Is the Mother of Success.

C

When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schulz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCSs for short.

Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out Vocs when being attacked. It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react.

Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.

In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.

Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.

Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的)than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.

28. What does a plant do when it is under attack?

A. It makes noises.    B. It sends out certain chemicals.

C. It stands quietly.    D. It gets help from other plants.

29. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in Paragraph 3?

A. The attackers get attacked.     

B. The insects gather under the table.

C. The plants get ready to fight back.   

D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.

30. Scientists find from their studies that plants can ________.

A. predict natural disasters

B. talk to one another intentionally

C. protect themselves against insects

D. help their neighbors when necessary

31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The world is changing faster than ever.

B. People have stronger senses than before.

C. The world is more complex than it seems.

D. People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.

D

After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.

Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.

The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations—major food sources(来源) for the wolf—grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation(植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’s beavers.

As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.

The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone’ wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.

32. What is the text mainly about?

A. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.

B. Wildlife research in the United States.

C. Plan diversity in the Yellowstone area.

D. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.

33. What does the underlined word “displaced” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Tested.    B. Separated.   C. Forced out.   D. Tracked down.

34. What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about?

A. decline in the park’s income.   B. Preservation of vegetation.

C. Damage to local ecology.    D. An increase in the variety of animals.

35. What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?

A. Doubtful.   B. Positive.   C. Disapproving.  D. Uncaring.

It is always said that China is the homeland of tea, which has a very long history of tea. __36__ However, unlike the western custom of using a convenient teabag, Chinese go to a lot of effort and time to prepare good tea for their guests, using tea-leaves, natural spring water and a special kettle etc. to create worldwide famous tea culture. Tea is not just a drinkable beverage (饮料), but also a taste of Chinese traditional culture and inheritance (继承) of spirit. Unsurprisingly, there are various tea-leaves in China. __37__

        Color

__38__ Good green tea-leaves have jade green with fresh vitality. Twisted pan green tea shows glossy gray green. If some of the tea-leaves have dry, dark and brown color, it means it is old tea. If the leaves have mixed, large contrast colors, it is believed that the tea is mixed with yellow leaves, old leaves and even old tea, which does not live up to the standard of good tea.

        Flavor(味道)

New tea is extremely clear and transparent with strong aroma(芳香), while old tea is characterized by brown color and weak fragrance. Take green tea and black tea for example, new green tea tastes a little bitter first, and then the fresh sweet taste begins to surface gradually, leaving a long and memorable aftertaste in mouth. __39__

        Place of origin

There is great gap of quality among various places of origin. __40__ For example, it is well-known that Yunnan produces the best quality Pu’er tea and premium Oolong tea can be found within Fujian province.

A. Every tea-leaf has its own shape.

B. Some varieties are identified by tightness of the leaves.

C. For foreigners in China, drinking lea may seem like a simple refreshment.

D. While you’re selecting tea, you should pay attention to following aspects.

E. It is always advised to select tea from its main producing areas.

F. Generally, new tea-leaves look fresh and pleasing, with light green or dark green.

G. On the contrary, if bitter taste takes the lead and fresh sweet taste subsides, it is bad tea.

Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out. Rani’s __59__—her warm smile, her nods, her ‘I’m here for you’ __60__— were all silent signals that didn’t travel through wires.
