But MacKenzie, a four-pound Chihuahua (奇瓦瓦狗), who was named winner of the 2020 American Hero Dog competition, is making the world a better place for humans and animals alike. Often called the "Oscars for dogs", the award recognizes dogs who make great contributions to society.    This year's competition attracted over 400 competitors from across the country. While all were impressive, it was tiny MacKenzie who won the judges' hearts. Born at a rescue shelter in Hilton, New York, in 2013, she had a cleft palate (腭裂) that required her to be tube fed for the first year of her life. A life-saving operation, performed in 2014, gave her the ability to eat and drink independently, enabling the tiny dog to focus on doing what she loved most: taking care of others.    The seven-year-old Chihuahua is now gainfully "employed" by the Mid Foundation, a Rochester, New York-based non-profit organization that shelters and cares for animals born with disabilities. MacKenzie's official job is "to provide love and care for baby rescue animals born with birth defects". The Chihuahua is good at her job and has nurtured many different species-from puppies to kittens to turkeys, squirrels, birds and even a goat. She acts as their mother and teaches them how to socialize, play, and have good manners.    In addition to her role as an animal caretaker, MacKenzie also has the important job of greeting the foundation's volunteers and friends. The incredible dog, who has lost her ability to bark, also visits area schools to help children understand physical disabilities in both animals and people. Her heart-warming and inspiring story makes MacKenzie worthy of America's top dog honor!24．What made MacKenzie American Hero Dog?A．Being man's best friend.    B．Her struggle with disabilities.C．Rescuing animals with disabilities.    D．Her contributions to a better world.25．What can we infer about MacKenzie from Paragraph 2?A．Her growth path was not easy.    B．She was deserted by her owner.C．She was operated on at two years old.    D．She still needs taking care of by others.26．What does the underlined word "nurtured" in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Trained.    B．Comforted.    C．Tended.    D．Abused.27．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．MacKenzie-The Most Hard-working Dog    B．MacKenzie-America's "Most Heroic Dog"C．Chihuahua-Inspiration of Positive Energy    D．Chihuahua-Appeal for Animals' ProtectionC    For years, Zach Ault, a father of three, enjoyed being physically active. He was even training for a half-marathon. But in 2017, he took time off to recover from an infection. After recovering, he tried to continue his runs but could not complete them. He was not able to spend time with his children. He had to cut back his job. Even sleeping as much as 16 hours a day made no difference in his condition.    "His body had literally hijacked him and it wasn't going to allow him to push through," said Anne Ault, his wife. After months of testing, doctors announced their result-chronic fatigue syndrome, a disease that makes an individual feel extremely tired.    This fatigue lasts more than six months and becomes worse after any kind of physical exertion (费力活动). Patients may have difficulty standing upright. They also may have trouble thinking, often described as a "brain fog". There are no approved treatments, or even tests to help with diagnosis. There is no way to predict who will recover and who will have a severe case that lasts for years.    Now the doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a unique study to learn more about the condition. Zach Ault is one of the subjects in the study. When Ault rides an exercise bicycle, scientists measure how his leg muscles use oxygen. Afterward, doctors fit a special cap on Ault's head to measure electrical activity in his brain. They then send him to spend the night in an air-tight room where air has been removed with pipe for additional study. Scientists measure oxygen and carbon dioxide levels to tell how much energy Ault is using, minute by minute. "We're figuring out how his body adjusts to an exercise load, or a stress load."    "It's hard not knowing if or when I'm going to recover," he said. But Ault says the study did help him learn about the disease. And it gave him ideas about how to save up his energy.28．What was Zach Ault's life like before 2017?A．He was fond of exercising.    B．He won several half-marathons.C．He spent much time lying in bed.    D．He was busy looking after his children.29．How did the infection affect Zach Ault?A．He lost his job.    B．He was unable to sleep.C．He became too weak to do sports.    D．He was tired of running a half-marathon.30．What can we learn about chronic fatigue syndrome?A．It usually lasts no more than months.B．It is likely to cause thinking disorders.C．Patients with it need to stay in bed all day long.D．Patients with it should avoid any kind of exercise.31．What does Zach Ault think of the study?A．It helped him cure his illness.    B．It helped him recover and stay fit.C．It taught him how to enjoy cycling.    D．It brought him new ideas about fighting diseases.D    Jake Oldershaw and his daughter Mollie from Birmingham, Britain have asthma (哮喘). Mollie, 11, has required hospital treatment several times while Jake Says he always finds breathing more difficult when there is heavy traffic. Air quality has an enormous impact on their lives and both noticed a marked improvement during the spring lockdown because of the epidemic (疫情). Jake said, "During lockdown there was a noticeable difference in air quality. I didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period. These days you can feel the effects."    However, under current COVID-19 restrictions in the UK this winter, many people probably will have to work from home. The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) says while emissions (排放) have dropped this year because we've been travelling less and doing less, the expected use of gas boilers to provide heating and hot water could rise by more than half.    Heating accounts for nearly 37% of the UK's total carbon emissions. Modelling by the ECIU suggests a 56% increase in boiler usage this winter resulting in a 12% increase in emissions of carbon. The ECIU says that's enough to offset the last two years' worth of progress on reducing traffic emissions.    Jess Ralston, author of the analysis for the ECIU, said, "Working from home and having increased gas use in the home could be really critical for air pollution and also climate change. The way we heat our homes needs to change if we are to get to net zero by 2050."    Jess Ralston said, "The increase in pollution from gas boilers expected this winter provides a graphic illustration (图解) of their forgotten role in air pollution. And it is a role set to continue without practical policies to decarbonize home heating."    The government is set to publish its Heat and Buildings Decarbonisation Strategy in a few weeks which is expected to give details on plans to try to switch British homes to cleaner sources of heat.32．How did the spring lockdown in the UK affect Jake?A．He was cured of his asthma.B．He had to go to hospital for retreatment.C．He suffered a noticeable difficulty in study.D．He didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period.33．What is concerning the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit?A．The epidemic will become worse.B．Air pollution will get worse this winter.C．People may have to work from home longer.D．There is less energy for gas boilers in winter.34．What would Jess Ralston agree with?A．People prefer to work from home in winter.B．The government failed to protect the environment.C．People tend to ignore the harmful effect of home heating.D．The climate has suffered a lot from the epidemic this year.35．How to improve air quality during winter according to Jess Ralston?A．A warmer winter season.B．Less and less gas boilers.C．Practical plans from the government.D．Improved awareness of cutting down pollution.第二节  （共5小题）    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。    Everyone has bad days-they're a universal part of life.

He named it RK, short for Rat Killer. The following is how he came across the dog and adopted it.    That was sometime in the 1930s. He worked in the booth with the projectionist (电影放映员). He liked to see the theater from booth. At that time, people usually took a short break between reel (胶卷) changes. Farrel would take this chance to look at the theater audience. The people were usually talking or making a trip to the bathroom during the breaks. The lights were on, but turned down low. Farrel saw something that shocked him at this time. He actually saw 3 huge rats. They crossed the room and went under the seats. Then the movie was over, and he had to stay behind and clean up. That night he stayed in the projection room and watched from above. He saw several rats running around below. They were so huge that he could see them clearly from above. But when the lights were turned up brighter, the rats all disappeared.    He told the manager what he saw. The manager said that he knew about the rats. But he couldn't use poisons in the theater to get rid of them. So, Farrel suggested introducing some cats to the theater at night. The manager agreed to it and asked Farrel to find the cats. And he also asked Farrel to remove the cats in the morning and any dead rats that might be around.    Farrel found 4 large cats and took them to the theater. The cats were first kept in cages. Farrel thought they were ready for their duties as night "watchmen". When the movie was over, Farrel opened the cage and released the new "night guards". He left and headed home with a little excitement running through his mind. He couldn't help thinking about how many dead rats he would find the next morning.注意：    1．续写的词数应为150左右；    2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。    The next morning, Farrel opened the front door of the theater, and to his surprise, all 4 cats shot out of the door and down to the street.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________    Later that day, Farrel's dad persuaded him to borrow a Rat Terrier from the local dog pound (流浪狗收留所).______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
