Are they unluckier than cats of other colors? Many people in Western countries think so. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), did a study on cat colours and peoples understandings of cat personalities.The study found that people do judge(判断) cat personalities by color. Scientists did a survey(调查) on the Internet. There were 49 statements (描述) matching five cat colorings with 10 personalities. People think orange and bi-colored (双色的) cats are friendly, tri-colored (三色的) cats are not generous, and white cats are calm, lazy and shy. As for black cats, people think they dont have special personalities.But why do so many people dislike keeping black cats as pets? People think black cats have less special personalities, which might be because of their bad reputation (口碑). They think black cats may bring bad luck, especially at Halloween. Movies and television shows also make people believe that.Although people have these ideas, UC Berkeley scientists give another reason: people dont think black cats are pretty enough. After all, nothing can show black cats are unluckier than other cats. “You cant judge a cat by its color, because its the personality of the cat, not the color, that will let you know if the cat is right for you,” Cathy Marden, a scientist said.（1）Many people in Western countries may think black cats are _. A . lovely animalsB . a sign of bad luckC . a sign of good luckD . unfriendly animals（2）The main idea of paragraph 2 is that _. A . people often complain(抱怨) about black cats on the InternetB . people think cats of different colors have different personalitiesC . black cats are less popular than other catsD . the study is a great success（3）According to the study, people think that_. A . black cats have special personalitiesB . orange and bi-colored cats are generousC . cats with three colors are friendlyD . white cats are calm, lazy and shy（4）People dont like black cats for the following reasons EXCEPT _. A . black cats often appear in TV showsB . black cats bring bad luck to peopleC . black cats have bad reputationsD . they dont think black cats are beautiful（5）The passage mainly talks about _. A . why black cats are popular in moviesB . why people are not willing to keep black cats as petsC . different color cats have different personalitiesD . different people have different ideas on black cats13. （10分）跟据材料内容选择最佳答案。“Feng Robert wanted to do well in his examsHe spent all his free time studyingHe wanted to be a scientist when he grew upUnluckily，this meant thathe was almost always serious Though he was young，he didnt relax and enjoy himselfRoberts first important exam was coming soonHe had spent almost all the week preparing for itHe had got little sleep and felt very tiredHowever, Robert thought that he was ready for the exam“I worked harder man anyone elseIm I will get a good grade，”he thought during the breakfastAfter breakfasthe started to feel a little illHe also had a little headache and found it difficult to concentrate (专心)But he refused to believe that hed fail(不及格)the examRobert arrived at me school hall and took his seat He noticed how relaxed and happy his mends looked“They are just underprepared (准备不充分的)，”he thought as the exam beganUnluckily, Robert wasnt able to finish his examTwenty minutes after the exam started, he felt very hot and uncomfortableHe then s，“slumped(瘫倒) in his chair and one of his friends called for helpHis teacher took him to the school hospital at onceIn the hospital，the doctor told him that he was too tired to finish the examHe spent the lunch break in the nurses officeHe looked outside and watched his friendsThey were playing happilyRobert decided that from then on, he wouldnt take it all so seriously .“A balanced (平衡的)life is more importantI guess I know what to do next time，”he thought（1）From Paragraph 1，we can know that Robert is A . creativeB . talentedC . independentD . hard working（2）The best word for“”is“ ” A . sureB . boredC . luckyD . surprised（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Robert?

Large numbers of insects arebreeding(繁殖) in the polluted waterway. Officials say the insects land on the Taj Mahal and leave poop on its white stone walls. The insects waste is beginning to turn the walls green.Workers first discovered the problem last year. Aflyknown as thegenusGeoldichironomus is the reason for all the waste on the wall. Workers try to remove that, but experts fear heavy cleaning could damage the artwork from the wall in the Taj Mahal.Environmentalist D.K. Joshi says the way to stop this new threat is to save the dying river. “Industrial waste, solid waste, all this pours into the river. Millions of dollars have been spent to clean the river, but nothing has happened,” he added. Whats more, ashes (骨灰) from burnt human remains are part of the problem. For 200 years, people have set fire to dead bodies near the Taj Mahal. Ash from the funeral (葬礼的) ceremonies is the main source of food for the insects.Vikram also worries about the large amount of tourism. “So much is the amount of dirt that it creates; these are the problems of tourism. The tourists, they like to touch the surfaces. For that we are trying to provide some kind of separators”.We do believe cleaning the Yamuna River is possible with a short-term program. “Stop the waste from going into the river, improve its flow. It is not difficult,” Vikram said. He hopes this latest threat to the Taj Mahal from insects will get the attention of city officials. He hopes it will get them to clean the river.（1）Whats the new threat to the Tji Mahal? A . The Yamuna River is very dirty.B . Some white stones walls turn green.C . Many insects live in Tji Mahal and The Yamuna River.D . The insects leave poop on the stones.（2）What “that” in the 3rd paragraph refers to? A . The workers.B . The waste.C . The wall.D . The fly.（3）Which is not a helpful solution to this problem? A . cut down the waste that poured into the river.B . makes the flow of the river improved.C . Ask more workers to remove the waste of the Taj Mahal.D . Reduce the burning of the human bodies（4）What does Joshi suggest? A . City officials should ignore the insects.B . Workers should help clean the Taj Mahal.C . Fires should be set to kill some insects.D . People should give up the tradition of burning the dead.四、 词汇运用 (共1题；共10分)16. （10分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词) 或括号内单词的正确形式。将答案填写在答题卷的相应位置。Let go of the problemsThere are many teenagers who have too much pressure.
