Facebook message from Laura，a former classmate.“HeySteve，”she said，“I know youve always been an animal lover.Ive just had a babyand I cant keep my mini pig.”Being fond of animals，I knew I wanted the pig.I just had to figure out how tomake it happen.I lived in a twobedroom singlelevel house in Georgetown，Ontario.Its tough to bring a pig back to the house I share with two dogs，two cats，and my lifelong partner.But I was not letting that pig go.So I told Laura Id take the animal.When Igot home with the pig，I hid her in the bedroom，and began to prepare a dinner forAlishaher favourite bacon cheeseburgers.Its better to make her happy beforeintroducing the new member to her.When I led her to the bedroom and showed her the surprise，Alisha stood in thedoorway like a statue.It took her a few seconds to know what I had done.She complainedabout my unreasonable action.She insisted there was no more room in the house.I knew I was wrong，but I hoped I could smooth things over.Soon enough，the lovelypig did the smoothing for me.Never had we felt such joy as she brought to us.We gother a name“Esther”Esthers arrival changed our lives.A few weeks later，we decided to stop eatingbacon.We figured it was our turn to try to change the world for other animals.A fewmonths later，we moved to a farm where we cared for abandoned animalsso far，sixrabbits，six goats，two sheep，one horse，three cows and three chickens.21Who does the underlined phrase“my lifelong partner”in Paragraph 2 refer to?ALaura.BSteve.CAlisha.DEsther.22Why did the author cook Alisha a meal?ATo please her to accept the pig.2BTo make an apology to her.CTo celebrate Esthers arrival.DTo show off his cooking skills.23What is the best title for the text?AA Small Pig Making a Big DifferenceBAn Abandoned Pig Finding a Warm HomeCA Little Pig Bringing Happiness to a FamilyDA Lovely Pig Removing a Couples DisagreementB BHarry，the first camel to arrive in Australia in 1840，was an unlucky beast.Hewas imported from the Canary Islands by explorer John Horrocks.On an expedition(探险)，Horrocks picked up his gun in order to shoot“a beautiful bird to be added tothe collection”Perhaps Harry was an ecologisthe lurched(突然倾斜)，and the gundischarged，shooting Horrocks in the face.Horrocks not surprisingly died of his injuries，and his teammates ordered Harryto be shot.The first importation of a camel into Australia came to naught.In 1860,24 camels arrived in Australia to be part of an expedition by explorersRobert OHara Burke and William John Wills.It was an unlucky expedition.The pairmade one mistake after another，and ended up eating most of their camels，beforestarving to death.Six years later，more than 100 camels and their Afghan minders，arrived inAustralia.This time it succeeded and more camels followed.Sir Thomas Elder set up the first camel studs(种畜场)in South Australia，whileothers were set up in Western Australia.This time the camels bred(繁殖)likewildfire.They were used for working，rather than exploring expeditions.The imported Afghan cameleers were just as hardy and vital，leading camel trainsacross the cruel interior(内陆)of Australia，where few dared to go.The camels carriedheavy packs of wool and supplies and opened up the desert areas as none had managedto do before.The train that does this crossing today is called the Ghan，in theirhonor.Motorization put these camel trains out of business，and many camels were turnedloose.The camels loved Australia，and multiplied in amazing numbers.What is to bedone with them?Not surprisingly they have become quite a tourist attraction and you can take3a camel ride in the desert as the Afghan cameleers once did.But the fact is that camelscreate quite a problem in areas where they have taken over，as they damage localvegetation，muscle out native animals competing for food，and create chaos when theywander into settled areas.24What do we know about Harry?AHe killed an explorer.BHe was shot by his owner.CHe was interested in ecology.DHe arrived in Australia by accident.25What does the underlined part“came to naught”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?AFailed.BStarted.CGot limited.DGot protected.26Which of the following is TRUE about todays camels in Australia?AThey are raised in studs.BThey are decreasing in numbers.CThey are causing a lot of trouble.DThey are popular with the locals.C CAfter a lot of local and state warnings，investigations and bans of hoverboards(平衡车)，the federal government issued a statement on Wednesday.The message：Many ofthe machines are a major fire risk.The Consumer Product Safety Commission(CPSC)announced the recall(召回)of morethan a halfmillion hoverboards.The safety commission said that the batterypoweredmachines had been the cause of at least 60 fires.The announcement affects 10 companiesthat make or sell the products，including Razor and Swagway，two of the leadingmanufacturers.Hoverboards，which do not actually hover or fly and bear a vague resemblance toaskateboard，havebeenthesubjectofregulatoryexaminationinrecentyears.Officials have banned them from airplanes and sidewalks，and the safetycommission opened an investigation last fall because of reports of fires andexplosions.The risk of fires from the machines electrical system and battery pack hasattracted the most attention from the safety commission，which says it will now turnits focus toward the risk of falls and other accidents.The agency is worried that4flaws(缺陷)in the boards design could lead riders to lose their balance.There is no federal safety standard specific to hoverboards.UnderwritersLaboratories(UL)，a standardssetting and testing organization，came up withvoluntary electrical requirements for selfbalancing hoverboards as a result of thesafety commissions investigation，said Elliot FKaye，the chairman of the CPSC.He urged consumers to return any hoverboard that did not reach the standards setby the company.However，part of the problem，he explained，was that many hoverboardshadbeensoldbytemporarystandssuchasthoseinmallsorcollegecampusesflybynight sellers that can be harder to track down or contact.“Thatis a deeply frustrating aspect of it，”Mr Kaye said.“Somebody can just put up a stand，order a bunch of products，disappear，and theres nobody there to take responsibilitywhen things go wrong.”27Why will so many hoverboards be recalled?AThey arent easy to use.BThey are likely to cause fires.CThey dont actually hover or fly.DThey caused many traffic accidents.28What will the CPSC pay attention to?AThe recycling of hoverboards.BThe popularity of hoverboards.CThe balance risk of hoverboards.DThe price controls of hoverboards.29Which of the following set safety standards for hoverboards?AThe CPSC.BRazor.CSwagway.DUL.30What was Kaye particularly worried about?AHow to punish illegal hoverboard sellers.BHow to improve the designs of hoverboards.CHow to recall hoverboards sold by temporary stands.DHow to discourage people from buying hoverboards.第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2019河南八市重点高中联盟测评)5LiveLive EveryEvery DayDay likelike ItIt IsIs a a HolidayHolidayWe feel great on holidays because we

do people like what they like?Scientists have taken on the task of solvingthis mystery(奥秘)for ages.In the 1960s，psychologist Robert Zajonc conducted aseriesofexperimentswhereheshowedpeoplenonsensewordsandrandomshapes.Afterward，he asked his subjects which they preferred out of everything theyhad been shown.In study after study，people always chose the words and shapes theyhad seen the most.Their preference was for familiarity.This discovery was one of the most important findings in modern psychology.Butthe preference for familiarity has clear limits.People get tired of even theirfavorite songs and movies.On the one hand，humans seek familiarity，because it makesthem feel safe.On the other hand，people love the thrill of something new.This changebetween familiarity and discovery affects us all the timenot just our preferencesfor pictures and songs，but also our preferences for ideas and even people.For that reason，the power of familiarity seems to be strongest when a personisnt expecting it.The opposite is also true：A surprise seems to work best whenit contains some familiarity.Nobody knows this better than Raymond Loewy，who isconsidered to be the“Father of industrial design”He had a theory that he saidcould help artists sell anything to anyone.He called it MAYA“Most Advanced YetAcceptable”“To sell something surprising，make it familiar；and to sell somethingfamiliar，make it surprising，”he said.One of Loewys final tasks was to add an element(要素)of familiarity to a trulynew invention：NASAs first space station.Loewys biggest contribution to the spacestation was that he insisted NASA install a window with a view of Earth.Today，tensof millions of people have seen this small detail in films about astronauts.It ishard to imagine a more perfect example of MAYA：a window to a new world can also showyou home.1011答案精析答案精析语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从朋友那里领养了一只小猪，并给她起名为 Esther，Esther
