“Human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.” said Ernest Hemingway.
A round face, big eyes, soft fur (毛皮) and a quiet purr (猫的呜呜声). It’s not easy to say no to a cute cat.
Yes, it’s no secret how much people around the world love cats. From China to the US, people all over the world love to show off their cats.
Cats become such a big part of pop culture in China that young people have come up with cat-related phrases, such as “cat slave (奴隶)” to refer to people who really love their cats, and “a daily dose (剂量) of cats” to refer to having to watch a certain number of cat videos to get through the long and tiring day.
People in Japan are also huge fans of cats. As the birthplace of Hello Kitty and the “beckoning cat (招财猫)”, Japan made a “cat train” that was ridden around the country with 30 cats that lost their ways in 2021. Passengers could sit and play with the cats on the train, offering the animals plenty of care and warmth.
Istanbul, a historic city in Turkey, is also friendly to cats. Cats there are not afraid of people. They go in and out of almost everywhere — coffee shops, markets, universities, and even government buildings. If you sit in a park, a cat is likely to come and be there comfortably with you.
Seeing how cats have been loved all over the world, you may wonder why some people like cats more than dogs. This may have something to do with how they think about themselves — modern young people see the independence of cats as something important.
“Unlike dogs, who look at us with their loving eyes, cats appear to show off their independence. They ask for attention in a different way. That way tells us that they want human to be there with them, but they don’t need it”, a cat lover said.
36. Some people love cats possibly because ________.

VI.任务型阅读。(65—67小题，每小题2分，68题3分，共9分)
阅读下文并回答问题。
Chinese is a beautiful but complex (复杂的) language, with tens of thousands of characters. When you come across a Chinese character that you don’t know, what do you do? You might look it up in a dictionary and find its pinyin. Pinyin, a system (系统) that uses the Latin alphabet (拉丁字母), tells us a how to make the sound of Chinese characters.
In 1958, Chinese linguist (语言学家) Zhou Youguang and his team created pinyin. They created the system to help illiterate (不识字的) Chinese people learn how to read. This idea worked out quite well. The illiteracy rate in China dropped from 80 percent in the 1950s to 52 percent in 1964. In 2018, it’s only 4.08 percent, Guangming Daily reported.
Nowadays in China, pupils start to learn pinyin in primary school, which plays a very important role in learning to read by themselves at an early age.
Besides helping with learning Chinese characters, pinyin has been useful in other ways, too. It helps to develop the use of standard (标准的) Chinese, or Mandarin, so that people who speak different dialects (方言) can still understand each other. It also makes it much easier to type Chinese characters on computers and cellphones. Other methods, like the five-stroke input method (五笔输入法), are much more difficult to use.
Pinyin is now finding its place in other languages. The Oxford English Dictionary now includes more than 100 pinyin entries (词条), such as jiaozi for “dumplings” and zhongguomeng for “Chinese dream”.

___________________________________________________________
46. Who created pinyin?

【答案】45. Yes./Yes, it is.
46. Chinese linguist Zhou Youguang and his team.
47. It helps to develop the use of standard Chinese and it also makes it much easier to type Chinese characters on computers and cellphones.

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了拼音在国内外各方面的作用以及它的发展。
【45题详解】

【47题详解】
根据“Besides helping with learning Chinese characters, pinyin has been useful in other ways, too.
