A

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.

The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.

I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.

People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

1. Why was the bike so important to the couple?
   1. The man’s job was bike racing. B. It was their only possession.
      C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed. D. They used it for work and daily life.
2. We can infer from the text that ______.
   1. the couple worked 60 hours a week. B. people were busy before Christmas
      C. the stranger brought over the bike D. life was hard for the young family.
3. What do the couple learn from their experience?
   1. Strangers are usually of little help. B. One should take care of their bike.
      C. News reports make people famous. D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
      B
      Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
      Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
      Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.
4. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.
   1. depend on one sense in choosing food B. are not satisfied with their food
      C. choose food in similar waysD. eat entirely different food
5. Which of the following eats only one type of food?
   1. The white butterfly. B. The small bird.
      C. The bear. D. The fox.
6. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.
   1. the season changes B. the food color changes
      C. they move to different places D. they are attracted by different smells
7. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.
   1. food is chosen for a good reason B. French and British food is good
      C. some people have few choices of food D. some people care little about healthy diet
      C
      Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.
      Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.
      The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.
      Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering (口吃的) son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.$来&源：
      The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child —talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while.
8. What is the text mainly about?
   1. The experience of the only child being with mother.
   2. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.
   3. The happy life of two families.
   4. The basic needs of children.
9. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _______.
   1. happy B. curious C. regretful D. friendly
10. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?
    1. The daughter acts like a leader. B. Sam holds her hand more often.
       C. The boys become better followers. D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.
11. The author seems to believe that ___________.
    1. having brothers and sisters is funB. it’s tiring to look after three children
       C. every child needs parents’ full attention D. parents should watch others’ children
       D
       Today about 70 countries use Daylight Saving Time (DST). Daylight Saving was first introduced during World War I in Australia. During the world wars, DST was used for the late summers beginning January 1917 and 1942, and the full summers beginning September 1942 and 1943.$来&源：
       In 1967, Tasmania experienced a drought. The State Government introduced one hour of daylight saving that summer as a way of saving power and water. Tasmanians liked the idea of daylight saving and the Tasmanian Government has declared daylight saving each summer since 1968. Persuaded by the Tasmanian Government, all states except two passed a law in 1971, for a test use of daylight saving. In 1972, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmania for regular daylight saving, but Queensland did not do so until 1989.
       Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia have had irregular plans, often changing their dates due to politics or festivals. For example, in 1992, Tasmania extended daylight saving by an extra month while South Australia began extending daylight saving by two weeks for the Adelaide Festival. Special daylight saving plans were made during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
       The differences in daylight saving in Australia continue to cause serious problems in transport and many other social activities. It also reduces the number of hours in the working day that are common to all centers in the country. In particular, time differences along the east coast cause major differences, especially for the broadcasters of national radio and television.
12. Daylight Saving Time was introduced in Tasmania ________.
    1. to stop the drought in 1967 B. to support government officials
       C. to pass a special law in the state D. to save water and electricity
13. According to the text, which state was the last to use DST?
    1. Victoria. B. Queensland.
       C. South Australia. D. New South Wales.
14. What can we learn about DST in some Australian states?
    1. It doesn’t have fixed dates. B. It is not used in festivals.
       C. Its plan was changed in 2000. D. It lasts for two weeks.$来&源：
15. What do we know about the use of DST from the last paragraph?
    1. There exist some undesirable effects. B. It helps little to save energy.

C. It brings about longer working days.D. Radio and TV programs become different.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处得最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Top Ways to Spend the Holiday Season with Pets

Taking a nap is a great way to refresh during the holidays, and a nap with your dog or cat (or both） is an excellent bonding opportunity.

Holiday time is here. The decorating, the shopping, the cooking, the cleaning, the wrapping... 16 In the season’s craziness, our furry family members tend to get ignored or over-stimulated (过度刺激的）. 17 But they don’t have to: be sure to pay attention and give them a break from the activity when they need it and add them to the fun when they don’t.

● Rest time.

If your pet seems stressed, have a safe place for him away from activity. Cats should have a quiet, cozy spot to sleep with food, water, and their litter box. 18 Be sure to have a soft area for sleep, a toy or two, water, and some food. But you might need a nap, too, to refresh for holiday festivities. So use this time to take one together.

●19

Many Christmas tree farms welcome pets on a leash (皮带). Your pet will just love being with you outdoors while you share one of the season’s most honored traditions—picking out the perfect tree. Just be sure to call the farm first to confirm that pets are welcome... and you have a new annual tradition.

● Go have a catch.

Give your pup a good run and wear him out ahead of when company visits. 20 This way, he’ll be happy and relaxed when greeting guests. Dog parks are ideal as pups can run, chase tennis balls, and socialize with others. Always remember to walk to and from the park with your pup on a leash and poop bags in hand.

A. Keep pets on a leash.

B. Dogs love playing catch.

C. Dogs might also need one.

D. But where do our pets fit in?

E. Pick out the family Christmas tree.

F. As a result, pets can experience restlessness and anxiety.

G. Many pets would love to be included in some of the activities.
