能力提升.阅读理解Im not an animal lover. Cats make me sneeze. When our daughter left home it never occurred to me to fill the empty home with a dog. But with Turkey now considering a law that would gather Istanbuls about 150,000 homeless cats and dogs, I may well change my mind.It wouldnt be possible to live in a neighborhood here and be against all animals. Hairy dogs walk down our main street, and my garden is home to lots of wild cats. The animals are wild in the sense that they dont belong to any single person.These animals lead a good life. Selfappointed protectors put out food and water all year around. The doctors wife is forever nursing a sick cat. “live and let live” is the motto. The dogs bark at night defending their area, and if we tried to get rid of them, wed only get a pack of unfamiliar ones in their place.Senpolat, one of my neighbors, is the head of the Animal Rights Federation. He angrily complains about the illegal pet trade, the badlyrun zoos and the failure to criminalize animal cruelty.This summer the government suggested taking homeless animals off the streets and put them in “wild life parks”“Death camps” is how Senpolat described those, imagining a real dogeatdog world. The scheme reminds people of the great animal disaster of 1910, when a new, modern government forced thousands of dogs to live at a small island off lstanbul. The wind would carry the frightening howls (嚎叫) of the starving animals back to the city. Other voices rose last Sunday when thousands of people in cities across the country walked through the streets to protest against the new law. First thing Monday morning, the government cancelled the law. Civil protest is not unusual in Turkey, but its unusual for the government to listen.1What led to the authors changing her mind about animals?AHer daughter.BThe new considering law in Turkey.CHer neighbor.DHer family.2According to the text, the writer thought that _.Amost people enjoyed the barks of dogs at nightBit was good to put homeless animals in wild life parksCit is normal that homeless animals live in the neighborDthe government always tended to listen to civil protest3Why did Senpolat describe “wild life parks” as “Death camps”？ABecause it was illegal to trade animals.BBecause homeless animals would starve to death.CBecause animals cant adapt to the new environment.DBecause animals cant live at peace with each other.4What did the author feel when the government cancelled the new law?AThrilled.BSad.CConcerned.

Disappointing as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorlyequipped classroom, I find the teachers patient and considerate. Beside I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class.
