Garfield is a popular comic book character, known for being lazy and fat. But the cat was back in the news recently for something you might not expect.A man in the United States changed the genderof Garfield to “none” on the cats Wikipedia ( 维 基 百 科 ) page. After that lots of people got angry and keptchanging Garfields Wikipedia page. They argued about whether the cat was a boy,girl or neither.Wikipedia finally locked the page to stop people editing( 编辑) it. Jim Davis, Garfields creator, settled(解决) the argument.“Garfield is male,” he simply told the Washington Post. The 71-year-old artist said he liked working with animals because they didnt have to be old, young, boys or girls. He was angry that some people cared so much about Garfields gender.It seems like quite an unnecessary argument to have. But it is not the only recent example of argument about gender.To celebrate International Womens Day in Australia earlier this year, the city of Melbourne made 10 traffic lights with a figure( 人形) dressed in a skirt. They were designed to celebrate Womens Day and give them more confidence in public.But not everyone thinks the idea is necessary. Some people think it is important for women to be treated fairly in Australia, but that this idea is silly.“Im all for doing anything we can for gender equity(公平), but really?” Melbourne mayor( 市长)Robert Doyle told the Herald Sun. The mayor said this idea is more likely to be laughed at than bring respect to women.（1）What put Garfield the cat back in the news recently? A . The cats lazy character.B . Being included in Wikipedia.C . The cats picture being changed on Wikipedia.D . The cats gender being changed on Wikipedia.（2）What does the underlined word genderin the passage mean?

Garfield can be a boy or a girl, and young or oldC . artists dont care about animals age or genderD . its unnecessary to take Garfields gender seriously（4）Why did Melbourne make 10 traffic lights with a figure dressed in a skirt? A . To laugh at women in publicB . To celebrate International Womens DayC . To bring more chances to womenD . To treat women fairly in Australia（5）What did Melbourne mayor Robert Doyle think of the traffic light idea? A . It would give women more confidence in public.B . It would help women be treated fairly in Australia.C . It would bring respect to women.D . It was not a good idea for gender equity.5. （10分）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。Happiness is for everyone. You dont need to worry about people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you are studying hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of you. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. All your happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that cant be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you should not always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.（1）Happiness is for _.A . those who have large and beautiful housesB . those who have carsC . those who have a lot of moneyD . all people（2）When you do something wrong, _.A . people around you will help you to correct（改正）itB . you will have no chance to challenge yourselfC . your classmates will laugh at youD . you will be happy（3）Which is TRUE according to the passage?A . When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you?B . You cant get help from others when you make mistakes.C . You cant be a happy person if you have little money.D . Happiness is not a feeling from your heart.（4）Why do we say “Happiness is not the same as money”?A . Because money always brings happiness.B . Because money doesnt always bring people happiness.C . Because everything can be bought with money.D . Because only rich people have happiness.（5）What is the best title for the passage?A . Happiness is for everyone.B . Lucky life.C . Do something good to others.D . Life and success.三、 词汇运用 (共2题；共15分)6. （5分）用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空 sense master recall lifetime perform（1）I lay in bed and _, the things my mother told me. （2）A play will be _ in the theater this evening. （3）Lisa _ that Alan didnt believe her. （4）He had to come to Paris to study under one of the great _ at the university. （5）In his _, he invented many useful things. 7. （10分）根据首字母提示完成短文。History is the story of us, human beings.
