A regular customer had rushed him to her office after his pet dog brought the cat home in his mouth. The dogs owner was horrified, believing that his pet had caused the cats injuries. But Kennon found no teeth marks or bite wounds, which showed that the dog had probably saved, not harmed, the kitten.In Kennons opinion, however, the cat was a hopeless case. Many doctors would have put down such a badly hurt animal. But she couldnt be so cruel. The kittens bright eyes and sad face had won her over. There was no way of finding his owner, so Kennon, a single woman aged 56, decided to keep him.She gave him a round of shots and fed him food mixed with medicines. He couldnt move his back legs but soon started pulling himself forward with his front legs. The doctor named him Scooter and contacted a pany that makes carts for disabled animals. Scooter took to his new wheels like a natural. In no time he was able to move freely, but somewhat awkwardly, around Kennons office, home and even her backyard. The sight of the determined Scooter was uplifting and amusing in equal measure and Kennon had to smile each time the cat entered the room.Kennon was convinced that her kitten could share his high spirits with others. So she took Scooter to the local hospital to see if he could help the patients. His first patient was an elderly woman whod had a stroke and hadnt spoken to anyone for two days. Scooter jumped out of Kennons arms and onto the bed, rolled over to the patient, and lay gently near her cheek, purring softly. The woman looked at Scooter. “Kitty,” she murmured as she began to talk to him. Amazed, Kennon turned to the doctor - and saw that she was in tears. The cat had engineered a small miracle.Today Scooter spends about ten hours a month working with patients who are recovering from strokes and injuries. Again and again, Kennon watches as her cat provides hope and fort. As one patient whod lost her leg in a car accident said, “If he can do it, so can I.”36. From Paragraph 1, we know that _.A. the dogs owner was a stranger to Kennon B. who actually injured the cat was unknown C. the dog was extremely cruel to the cat D. the cat had several bite marks on its body37.

The cats owner abandoned him.C. The cat was hopeless. D. She liked the cat.39. How did Kennon help the cat move around?A. By getting him a special cart.B. By curing his broken back. C. By feeding him medicines. D. By exercising him in her backyard.40. According to the passage, what is the main reason that the cat works miracle?A. Patients feel sympathy for him. B.

He has the ability to cure the ill.BNow scientists believe that global warming affects hibernating animals, causing them to wake up earlier. While this may seem a little concern, it is in fact a significant environmental problem. The shortened hibernation period could actually lead to significant declines in the populations of several speciesSome of the first concrete evidence of the phenomenon came from Colorado, where researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological lab have been observing marmot（旱獭）hibernation behavior since the 1970s. In the early days of their studies, marmots generally hibernated several weeks into the month of May. Nowadays, however, temperatures in the area have risen by 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit, and the marmots are waking up about a month earlier.At least the marmots are still hibernating. Several other animals have not been hibernating at all recently. Brown bears in the Spanish Cantabrian Mountains did not hibernate last year. In parts of the United States, chipmunks （花鼠）also skipped the hibernation period. The bears seem to have survived without losing many individuals. The chipmunks, however, were not so lucky. Many of the animals died of starvation during the winter.The problem with animals waking up early, or skipping hibernation altogether, lies with the creatures metabolism（新陈代谢）. When an animal hibernates, their metabolism drops significantly. The animals heart rate slows, and they require very little energy to live. When the animals awake from their winter slumber, their metabolism returns to normal.But while their metabolism may be as active as it was before hibernation, food sources arent as available as they were before. A marmot may wake up when temperatures get warmer, thinking its spring, but plants will not have gotten the amount of sun they need to signal their spring period of growth. So until the plants grow, the marmots have no reliable food source. Many scientists believe the problem will continue to get worse. In addition to changes in hibernation patterns, some believe that other animals will also begin to change their migration patterns or begin to give birth earlier. For many biologists, thats a scary prospect. Terry Root, an animal expert at Stanford University, said: “I do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species.41. What is the viewpoint of the writer?A. Global warming will continue to get worse as time goes on.B. Global warming will lead to shortened hibernation of some animals.C. Shortened hibernation will result in declines in the population of animals.D. Some animals will skip hibernation altogether.42. The writer sets the example of the marmot so as to _.A. explain that global warming influences animals hibernationB. indicate that the weather gets warmer and warmer nowC. show that the weather in the United States is quite differentD. say some animals do not hibernate now due to warm weather43. The underlined word “slumber” in the fourth paragraph means “ _”.A. weatherB. activityC. nestD. sleep44. Why cant marmots find enough food when they wake up?A. Because there are too many marmots in the wild now.B. Because plants havent received enough sunlight for spring growth.C. Because winter days end much earlier than before.D. Because more and more animal species skip hibernation now.45. Terry Root holds a(n) _ attitude towards the future of animals.A. optimisticB. doubtfulC. pessimisticD. sensitiveCIf you want to avoid making impulse (冲动) and unnecessary purchases，then just keep your hands away from tempting products. According to new research，individuals who touch possible items in stores are more likely to have an increased desire to purchase them than those who keep their hands off the products.Suzanne Shu and Joann Peck，marketing professors at the University of Wisconsins business school conducted studies on the connection between touch and feelings of ownership and the effect of perceived ownership on the value placed on an object. For one of the experiments，the experts placed two products，a Slinky toy and a coffee mug in front of the volunteers who were undergraduate students. About half of the participants were allowed to touch the products，while the other half were asked not to touch them. The volunteers then were asked to express their sense of ownership of the products and to report how much money they were willing to pay for each. The results showed that those students who were allowed to touch the objects，reported significant increased levels of perceived ownership. They also expressed a desire to pay more money to obtain the products. The investigators also discovered that a sense of very pleasant feelings when touching products，determined how much money consumers were willing to pay. However，if the object did not feel pleasant to the touch，it significantly decreased the amount the buyers were willing to pay. Researchers said that many stores have already followed the right path. But what can be done while shopping online，when touching of an item is not possible? In this case，the experts say，just picturing in mind that they are touching it and then owning it，will cause greater feelings of ownership，and thus the consumers will be more likely to make a purchase. When you touch an object，you immediately feel some kind of a connection to it，according to the researchers. That connection stirs up an emotional reaction. And that emotion can make people buy something they would never even consider buying if they had not touched it. 46. The author develops the text mainly by_. A. drawing a conclusion through researchB. paring opinions from different fieldsC. providing typical examplesD. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects47. Which of the following was found in the research? A. Shoppers cannot resist the temptation when they meet things they like. B.

They also expressed a desire to pay more money to obtain the products. ”可知。48. When people do online shopping，_.

According to a survey, youre more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, than nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, youll die on average five years before a woman.Therere many reasons for this typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smokebut perhaps more importantly, men dont go to the doctor.“Men arent seeing doctors as often as they should,” says Dr. Gullotta. “This is particularly so for the over-40s, when diseases tend to strike.”Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over45, it should be at least once a year.Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smokers cough for a year.“When I finally saw him it had already spread and he finally died from lung cancer,” he says. “Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged (延长) his life.”According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, pared to 70% of men in the same age group.“A lot of men think they can never defeated,” Gullotta says. “They only e in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, Geez, if it could happen to him, ”Then theres the ostrich（鸵鸟）approach. “Some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know,” says Dr, Ross Cartmill.“Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies,” Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that monly affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.Regular check-ups for men would inevitable place strain on the public purse, Cartmill says. “But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost far greater; its called premature death.”51. Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage?A. They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life.B. Their average life span has been considerably extended.C. They have lived long enough to read this article.D. They are more likely to survive serious diseases today.52. What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier on average than wo
