Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.
Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.
If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.

試題分析：本文是一篇說明文。文章給養(yǎng)寵物的人們提供了一些實(shí)用的建議。天氣惡劣的時(shí)候，把寵物放在家里；天氣寒冷的時(shí)候，注意讓寵物有干凈的水喝。
小題1:考查判斷推理。根據(jù)“Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are.”可知，貓等寵物也像人一樣習(xí)慣于暖和的住所。所以D正確。
小題2:考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too.”可知：當(dāng)你感到冷的時(shí)候就會(huì)進(jìn)房間，它們也是如此。所以A正確。
小題3:考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第三段中的“a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink”可知，當(dāng)水盆被凍之后，寵物就可能找不到干凈的水喝。故選A。
小題4:考查作者的寫作意圖。根據(jù)第一段的中心句“There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.”可知，這是一篇說明文，其目的是為了給養(yǎng)寵物的人們一些實(shí)用的建議。

Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides, following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member…. These are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating.
Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones，which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（協(xié)調(diào)）needed in hunting.
Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.
Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.
小題1:Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to _____.
A．be a team leaderB．a(chǎn)ct as a grown-up
C．obey the basic rulesD．predict possible danger
小題2:The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can_____.
A．describe life in an exciting way
B．turn real-life experiences into a play
C．change people’s views of sporting events
D．make learning life skills more interesting
小題3:According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?
A．It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.
B．It inspires people’s deep love for the country.
C．It helps the country out of natural disasters.
D．It earns the winners fame and fortune.
小題4:Iribarne’s goal of forming the foundation is to _______.
A．bring fun to poor kids
B．provide soccer balls for children
C．give poor kids a chance for a better life
D．a(chǎn)ppeal to soccer players to help poor kids

Su Hua is studying at Cambridge, UK. She has bought a bicycle and is worried about security. Her friend, Kate, found this article and sent it to her.
Introduction
A lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.
Basic Security
Do not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles(車座).
Locks
Get a good lock. There are many different types in the shop. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.
Marking
Security marking your bike can act as a deterrent(威懾) to a thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.
Registration
There are a number of companies who will mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact you.
Finally
Keep a record of the bicycle yourself: its make, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it, this will prove the bicycle belongs to you.

Searching for airfares often seems like a game that passengers are bound to lose.
Prices change from day to day, even minute to minute. Looking through multiple websites for the best deal can be a big challenge. Even when you do book, there’s no guarantee that you are going to get the best price.
“You just don’t know when to pull the trigger. It’s not like buying anything else I can think of,” said George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com.
Harriet Levy paid $179 for a recent round-trip flight on American Airlines between New York and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Sitting just one row behind her, Shirley Harrison paid $215. A few rows back, Ellis and Dianne Traub paid $317 each. There were at least 12 fares on the flight, ranging from $169 to $360.
There’s no reason for it, Harrison said.
Fares can vary significantly in just a few hours. One Delta flight from New York to Los Angeles jumped from $755 to $1,143 from a Friday to Saturday in late April, then fell to $718 on Sunday.
The flight was one of a dozen the Associated Press (美國(guó)聯(lián)合通訊社)followed over three months for a vacation between July 16 and 22. The number one finding: avoid booking tickets on weekends. It’s the most expensive time to buy.
There’s no way to guarantee the best fare. But before booking, travelers should pay attention to this additional advice:
● Book on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. That’s when airlines most often offer sales.
● Buy in advance, but not too early. The best time is four to six weeks before traveling. In general, prices for any given flight are highest eight to ten weeks and two to three weeks in advance.
● Make use of social media. Airlines are giving more benefits like exclusive (獨(dú)家) sales to travelers who interact (互動(dòng)) with them on Twitter and Facebook. Those specials are often gone within hours.
● The so-called discount airlines – JetBlue, Air-Tran, Southwest and Frontier – adjust their fares less frequently than other airlines, so you can feel more confident that the price will stay the same. But their prices aren’t always the lowest. Researching multiple airlines’ fares is the only way to get a good deal.
小題1: What can we infer from the first sentence of the text?
A．Passengers are unable to search for airfares.
B．Airlines often play games with passengers.
C．Airfares are set in different situations.
D．It’s difficult for passengers to get the best price.
小題2:The underlined phrase “pull the trigger” in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.   
A．startsearchingB．getthehighestprice
C．makeapurchaseD．getonboardtheplane
小題3:By using a lot of figures, the author intends to _______.
A．show there is standard price for every single airline
B．discover the rules behind airfares
C．guarantee passengers a low price
D．prove airfares can vary widely
小題4:Passengers are advised to book flights _______.
A．in the middle of the week
B．on special websites
C．several months before traveling
D．with airlines which are famous for offering discount prices

Your youngest son or daughter has just graduated from high school, and soon he or she will trade his or her bedroom in your home for a college residence hall. You’re starting to worry about the coming silence in your home and are wondering how you will fill the hours that you previously spent with your son or daughter attending his or her school and sporting events.
Take heart — the empty nest “is often worse in anticipation (預(yù)料) than in day-to-day practice”, says psychologist Bert Hayslip Jr.
Hayslip, who has studied retirement adjustment (調(diào)整) and other aging problems, such as aging sleeplessness, for many years, points out that, more often than not, children who leave do not completely cut off contact with their parents. He advises parents to think of it as a series of life events, instead of a sudden change. He also says an empty nest can cause bigger problems to surface “if a couple hasn’t looked after their marriage while raising their children”. According to Hayslip, some couples may find they no longer have anything in common once the children are out of the house.
Thinking of an empty nest as the loss of children makes the adjustment more difficult. “With the empty-nest syndrome (綜合癥), parents actually need to deal with the loss of the parenting control over children, not with having really lost their children,” Hayslip says. “They just have to find a new way to get along with their children.”
“Relating to their college-age children in this new way will come easily to parents as the months pass. As with many things, the passage of time heals the pain of loss,” Hayslip says.
小題1:What does the “empty nest” mean?
A．Children’s cutting off contact with their parents.
B．Children’s not liking spending time with their parents.
C．Children’s growing up and leaving home.
D．Children’s not accepting parents’ care and love.
小題2:What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?
A．Retirement adjustment. B．Aging problem.
C．Sleeplessness.D．The reality of empty nest.
小題3:Why do many parents find it hard to adjust to the empty-nest life？
A．Because they think they have actually lost their children.
B．Because they often disagree with their children on many things.
C．Because their children completely cut off contact with them.
D．Because these parents don’t have anything in common.
小題4:According to Hayslip, what parents actually lose in an “empty nest” is _______.
A．their children’s love for them
B．their control over children
C．their interest in life
D．their contact with children

Our Future Homes
　What kinds of homes will we live         the future? Nobody can be sure,         architects, and scientists are         new ideas now.
　　Some architects are thinking about          whole cities under huge glass domes. Of course, complicated heating and        systems will be necessary to control the climate in the domes.        , there will never be any rain      snow, and the temperature will be always        .
　　Perhaps everyone will live in vertical（立體的）       . High rises are so large that they can contain all the necessities of life. Since vertical cities will use        land than horizontal cities, and provide homes for more people, they will be       for small countries that have     populations.
Another idea that will be helpful to        countries (and island countries) is
the      city. Monaco has already built homes, stores, and offices         the water of the Mediterranean Sea. And a Japanese       has made a plan for constructing buildings on bridges over Tokyo Bay.
　　There are some people who think we will go back to living in       . But the caves of the future will be quite      the caves of the Stone Age. Computers will control light and climate. Farms and parks will be on the land      the cave city. When people want to go to the country or to a park, a short ride in       will take them there.
