11.A cat is recovering in California after surviving a 6,500-mile journey across the Pacific stowed inside a Chinese shipping container without food or water.Staff and volunteers have named it"Ni Hao,"which is Chinese for"hello."
It was discovered breathing shallowly after a two-week trip across the Pacific Ocean.The cat was seriously suffering from loss of water and starvation when the container was opened in California last week,but was said to be doing well after being sent to the Carson Animal Care Center in Los Angeles.At first it was too weak to stand,but finally took its first steps.Then it ate a good meal and slept soundly.The cat woke up Thursday morning,physically in a better condition than 24 hours ago.
"Ni Hao greeted the medical team with its first miaow this morning and is attempting to stand,"said Marcia Mayeda,head of the Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control.Aaron Reyes,director of the Department,added:"We finally got to hear its voice.It sounds like a single-engine plane."
Ni Hao is expected to be observed for 60 days but afterwards animal workers will look forward to providing it with a good shelter."It's much better for it to recover in a home environment,"Mr Reyes said."It's just like a human being in a hospital so we're hoping to move it."He added:"Little by little we're getting there.We're hoping that under the treatment and with rest,it'll be able to recover quickly.''
It was not immediately clear how the cat got into the container.
56.The underlined word"stowed"in Paragraph 1 probably means"D".
A.packed               
B.driven                                      
C.raised                      
D.hidden
57.The container to California started on its journeyC.
A.60 days ago              
B.one month ago              
C.2 weeks ago                 
D.24 hours ago
58.The cat is likely to be taken care of by         in the future.C
A.a(chǎn) medical team  
B.a(chǎn)nimal workers                     
C.a(chǎn) caring family             
D.a(chǎn)n animal shelter.

分析 這是一個(gè)有關(guān)貓的故事.一只貓藏在船中橫越太平洋,在兩周的行程中,它不吃不喝,竟然奇跡般地活了下來.被救后它得到了細(xì)心的照料.

解答 56    D    猜測(cè)詞義題.  根據(jù)第二段的第一句的discovered breathing shallowly after a two-week trip可知,Ni Hao之所以兩周之后才被發(fā)現(xiàn),是因?yàn)樗厣碛谝粋(gè)隱秘之處.57    C  細(xì)節(jié)題.  根據(jù)第二段的第一句的after a two-week trip across the Pacific Ocean可知,駛往加利福尼亞的這艘船是在兩個(gè)星期之前出發(fā)的.
58     C   細(xì)節(jié)題. 根據(jù)最后一段的第二句的a home environment和in a hospital so we're hoping to move it可知Ni Hao很有可能會(huì)被送到護(hù)理動(dòng)物的動(dòng)物之家,所以答案選擇C項(xiàng).

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀理解時(shí)要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問題回到原文,尋找細(xì)節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.

3.We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles (肌肉) of your neck,or because an unexpected twist(扭曲)has made your neck ache.The slightest move makes you jump with pain.Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.
That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling.We have all met such people.
One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands-often at the wrong time-during a performance in the theater.He keeps you from hearing the actors.
Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins.They come hurrying down to your row of seats.You are comfortably settled down,with your hat and heavy coat in your lap.You must stand up to let them pass.You are proud of yourself-control after they have settled into their seats…Well,what now…God,one of them is up again.He forgot to go to the men's room,and once more you have to stand up,hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass.Now,that is"a pain in the neck".
Another,well-known to us all,is the person sitting behind you in the movies.His mouth is full of popcorn (爆米花); he is chewing(嚼)loudly,or talking between bites to friends next to him.None of them remain still.Up and down,back and forth,they go-for another bag of popcorn,or something to drink.
Then,there is the man sitting next to you at lunch,smoking.He wants you to enjoy it too,and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.
We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway and sits down next to you,just as close as you will let him.You are reading the newspaper and he gets closer so that he can read the paper with you.He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.
We also call such a person a"rubber neck",always getting close to where it does not belong,like neighbors who watch all your visitors.They enjoy learning about your personal business.People have a strong dislike for"rubber necks".They hate being watched secretly.

20.You have the ability to decide if you are happy or not.Happiness is a choice.
You can't depend on someone else to make you happy.That is a lesson I learned early on in my marriage.I realized that I couldn't rely on my husband as my source of happiness.I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husband's actions.I learned that you have to choose to be happy.
You can choose your emotions (情緒).Happiness can't be forced by outside forces.So how do you choose happiness?You can choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit.You choose it because that's what you want to experience in your life.
You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good.You wouldn't buy a pair of shoes that you don't like or that don't fit well,right?So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that don't make us feel good?
Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial.We choose our feelings and no one can do that for us.If we let others get to us,influence our emotions-we are giving them power over us.When others cause us anger or pain,we are giving them our power.
We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us.We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does.
Remember that we can always choose happiness.At first it will be difficult to just change your thoughts and feelings from anger,self-doubt,or fear to joy and happiness.But it is only a thought away.Don't think about what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way.Realize that thoughts,feelings and emotions can change.Then move on and choose to be happy.
66.What's the best title of this passage?C
A.Ways to Be Happy
