better companion than mans best friend-a dog.This four-legged pet can bringcomfort and joy and provide much-needed exercise for you when it needs walkies!This probably explains whydog ownership increased last year because people spent more time at home during he CovID-I9 lockdown.However,as demand for a new dog increased,so did the price tag.Popular breeds,such as Cockapoos andCocker Spaniels,saw even sharper price increases,and puppies have been selling for$3,000 or more.Animal welfare charities fearthat high prices could encourage puppy farming,smuggling(走私)or dog theft.An investigation found some breeders have been selling puppies and kittens on social media sites-somethingcharities have called“extremely irresponsible”.But despite some new owners purchasing a dog legally,maybe from a rescue center or registered breeder,theyve proved to be ill-prepared for life with a new pet,and the pet itself has found it hard tocome totermswithlife in a new home.Looking to the future,there are concerns about the welfare of these much-loved pets.Lan Alkin manager ofthe Oxfordshire Animal Sanct uary in the UK,notes:“At the moment,the dogs are having a great time,butseparation anxiety could still surface when people go back to work.”And Cliare Calder from the UKs Dogs Trustrescue charity says,“The economic situation also means that some people may find they cant afford to look aftera dog.”The message is not to buy a dog in haste and to pick one that fits into our lifestyle.1.The greater demand for dogs can cause the following problems except _.A.illegal trade of dogsB.less dog farmingC.high prices of dogsD.online sale of dogs2.What does the underlined phrasecome to terms within paragraph 4 mean?A.Fit in withB.Go in forC.Make up for.D.End

unaffordable to people.D.The writer advises people to think twice before keeping dogs as pets.BLast summer,Maria and her mother moved from their house in the countryside to a flat building in Chicago.Maria really liked some things about the city,but she missed her house and yard in the countryside.One day,Maria was in her flat building when she noticed her neighbor,Mrs.Garcia,carrying a gardening tooland a bag of soil.Maria wondered how Mrs.Garcia was able to garden in the city.“My mom used to grow the most delicious vegetables,and I know she misses her garden now that we donthave a yard,”said Maria.Mrs.Garcia laughed.“Ill show you,”she said.Maria thought that Mrs.Garcia would take her to the park,but she took her to the roof.When the dooropened,Maria was surprised to see rows of flowers and vegetables on the roof.“What a wonderful garden!”said Maria.Mrs.Garcia told Maria that for a long time the roof was just an empty space.Then some of the people in thebuilding asked the owners to turn it into acommunity garden.The building owners liked the idea because theplants not only helped to keep the air clean,but they also helped to keep the building cooler during warmerweather.“I plant flowers in my own place,”Mrs.Garcia said,“but you would be surprised by how different the plantsare up here.Some people grow vegetables just like your mom.You can do some of the same things in the city as inthe countryside.You just have to be creative!”4.Where did Mrs.Garcia take Maria to one day?A.The park.B.The roof.C.The garden in front of her house.D.The

60 and older whotook afternoon naps showed signs of better mental ability compared to those who didnt nap,according to a studypublished in General Psychiatry earlier this week.Researchers analyzed napping habits in 2,214 older Chinese people and measured their cognitive abilitiesusing several cognitive tests.Participants took the Mini-Mental State Examination and theBeijingversion of theMontreal Cognitive Assessment,both of which test for memory,language and other cognitive abilities.In everycategory listed in the study,nappers tested statistically higher on average compared to their non-nappingcounterparts.Researchers did not gather data from people under 60,so a correlation cannot be drawn between nappingand younger generations.The study also noted that there are conflicting studies about the benefits and risks ofnapping.Sleeping behaviors can be affected by a multitude of factors,said Dr.David Neubauer,associate professoratJohnsHopkinsUniversity.“Daily routines,medication use and sleep disorders can all play a role in how frequentlysomeone takes a nap.”he said.Neubauer recommended taking a shorter“power nap”of up to 20 minutes to decrease the chances oftransitioning into slow-wave sleep,which makes people feel groggy when they wake up.“Napping can be ahealthy part of an older adults day”,Neubauer acknowledged,but make sure“sleepiness isnt due to a treatablenighttime sleep disorder.”Older individuals who want to do all they can to preserve their cognitive functioningshould put nighttime sleep first.8.What is the best way to keep a better cognitive ability for the old?A.Take a nap every day.B.Take sleep disorder seriously.C.Have a good sleep at night.D.Do exercise regularly.9.How did the researchers reach the conclusion?A.By taking the examinations and assessment.B.By analyzing napping habits and giving tests.C.By measuring nappers ability and analyzing them.D.By doing an experiment.10.Which has NO effect on ones sleeping behaviors?A.Taking a nap.B.Medicine treatmentC.Sleep problemsD.Everyday activities.11.What can we know about“slow-wave sleep”?A.It appears in short nap up to 20 minutes.B.People should avoid it in their naps.C.It is a healthy part of an elders day.D.It was recommended by Neubauer.DThe beach may seem like an inviting place to run on a cool summer morning,but is running on the sand goodfor your body?It can be,but its important to be aware of the challenges that some beach runners experiencebefore you get ready.Running on the beach can be a good thing.Its certainly different from running on a track or a pavement.Forstarters,sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven(不平坦的)surface.As you push off,youre going tolose some of your push as the sand moves.So,youre not going to be able to push yourself forward as you wouldon a track or a pavement.But this unevenness has anupside:It gives your body an extra workout,forcing you toexercise muscles that dont get as much use during runs on firm surfaces.For example,your feet,ankles and lowerback might feel sorer and more tired than usual after a beach run just because the surface is constantly movingand changing step to step.You also might feel sore afterward because beaches tend to slope(倾斜)down to the water.If youre goingfor a long run on the beach,you might notice that one side of your body might feel sorer because youre puttingmore pressure on it due to the slope.Some beach runners prefer to run barefoot not wearing anything on feet.However,if youre not used tobarefoot running,start slowly and dont run long distances at first.Thats because running barefoot uses moredifferent muscles than running with shoes does,and its important to strengthen these muscles and adapt yourfeet.If you want to run barefoot and as long as you run carefully enough into it,go for it!Running on the sand can be a smart choice for you,because running on softer ground surfaces can reducemuscle damage.12.Why is it difficult to run on the beach for starters?A.The soft surface makes people fall over easily.B.People need to run carefully on its smooth surface.C.Running on its uneven surface takes much effort.D.Its hard to keep ones balance on its hard surface.13.Which of the following best explains“upside”underlined in Paragraph 2?A.Advantage.B.Reason.C.Character.D.Challenge.14.Whats the authors attitude to barefoot running?A.Critical.B.Supportive.C.Doubtful.D.Uncaring.15.The passage can probably be found in _.A.A primary school textbookB.A tourist guideC.A sports magazineD.A scientific report第二节（共第二节（共 5 5
