Here are four organizations that rescue and train shelter dogs to be service animals.
Merlin's Kids
Merlin's Kids is an organization that rescues and trains shelter dogs to become service animals for children with special needs for emotional support.Dogs can expand kids 'social comfort zone and dramatically improve their mental health.In the public's eyes，these working dogs have proved that shelter animals are amazing.
Pets for Vets （老兵）
Animal trainer Clarissa Black created Pets for Vets in 2009 as a way to say "thank you" to our nation's heroes.This organization recognizes that many vets return home with scars （伤疤），which make it difficult for them to live a normal life.Pets for Vets was founded to rescue and train shelter animals to provide therapy dogs for vets.The organization says that when the vet is matched with the right dog，both of their lives change for the better.
Paws With a Cause
This organization has been around since 1979 and it improves the independence and quality of life for people with disabilities.Paws With a Cause specializes in helping people with disabilities complete daily tasks and the dogs can open doors and pull a wheelchair.The organization's founders Mike and Candye are very pleased with its development.

A dog from a local shelter helped start Can Do Canines in 1989.Named Annie，she assisted her owner for eight years.Annie was the first of over 500 rescued dogs specially trained as service dogs to assist people with hearing problems，diabetes （糖尿病） and autism.But if a dog in the organization is not suited due to behavior or illness，the dog is never trained again and placed into a forever home with a family.
1. Merlin's Kids helps the children with ______ .
A. hearing problems B. scars
C. diabetes D. emotional problems
2. When was Paws With a Cause set up？ ______
A. In 1960. B. In 1979. C. In 1989. D. In 2009.

Scott Kelly visited the University of Wisconsin-Madison （UW）.He shared his experiences in space with students.
Kelly graduated from college with an engineering degree in 1987.He was later accepted into Navy flight school.In 1995，Kelly sent his application to NASA to become an astronaut. He thought， "If I'm going to fail at something，I might as well just fail at something that I think I can't achieve." That's what Kelly told the audience at UW.To his surprise，he landed an interview.
From 1999 to 2016，Kelly took part in four space missions.His first was a repair trip to the Hubble Space Telescope.On his second trip，in 2007，he was the mission commander.Kelly finished his third mission in 2011.It was a five-month stay on the International Space Station （ISS）.NASA was interested in the idea of sending people to space for an even longer period of time.The space agency then chose Kelly to set off on a 340-day mission to the ISS.The trip became one of the longest time ever spent in space.
The main purpose of the mission was to study how the human body responds to a long space flight.Space weakens your bones and muscles because your body doesn't have to use them much in low gravity.That s why astronauts work out for at least two hours a day.Eyesight is also greatly affected by space travel.Kelly says that he wears glasses to correct his vision because of his time spent in space.
There's still a lot to learn about the effects of space flights on the body.And there's always work to be done in space.The more people who get interested in space，the more steps we can take toward a possible moon base，or even a Mars base.
For kids desiring to become astronauts，Kelly has some advice， "Choose something that you like，because if you like it，you'll do better at it".
4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean？ ______
A. Kelly was very afraid of failure.
B. Kelly was sure that he would be rejected.
C. Kelly didn't really like to be an astronaut.
D. Kelly was very confident about the application.
5. How long did Kelly's fourth mission last？ ______
A. Five months. B. About half a year.
C. Around a year. D. Two years.
6. What can we learn about the effects of space flights？ ______
A. Wearing glasses in space can avoid them.
B. They disappear when astronauts get home.
C. Professional exercise can reduce them.
D. Researchers have already overcome them.
7. What may Kelly agree with according to the last paragraph？ ______
A. Interest is the best teacher.
B. Rome was not built in a day.
C. No way is impossible to courage.
D. Where there is a will，there is a way.
C
In 1547，the king of Spain sent a coded （编码的） letter to his ambassador in France.Now，after nearly 500 years，researchers have finally cracked（破解） the code and can read the letter.It turns out that the king was worried someone might be trying to kill him.
Charles V was the king of Spain from 1516 to 1556.But his power went far beyond Spain.As the "Holy Roman Emperor"，Charles V controlled lands across Europe.In spite of his great power，he had to manage many threats.
Three years before the letter was written，Charles V had made a peace deal with King Francis I of France.But there was still a lot of information he didn't want to share with the king of France.
At the time，the only way to communicate across long distances was to send letters.But letters weren't secure.So Charles V used a complicated code to send information that needed to be kept secret.
Cecile Pierrot is a cryptographer- -an expert in codes.She and a team of other cryptographers set out to figure out what the letter said.The code was harder to crack than Ms.Pierrot had expected.But as the researchers studied the three-page letter，they began to notice some patterns.
Some symbols stood for just one letter.Others stood for several letters combined.And a few of the symbols stood for whole words.To make things more difficult，some symbols meant nothing at all and were only included to make the code harder to crack.
After three years of efforts，the experts finally cracked the code.The team says the decoded letter tells them a lot about tensions in Europe at the time.The discovery opens a door to even more history.There are hundreds of similar letters all over Europe.Now that the code is broken，historians will have a much easier time learning what Charles V was thinking about during his time as a leader.
8. Whom did Charles V send the letter to？ ______
A. An ambassador. B. Roman Emperor.
C. King Francis I. D. Cecile Pierrot.
9. Why did Charles V send a coded letter？ ______
A. He liked playing with codes. B. It was his writing style.
C. It was a rule at the time. D. The letter involved secrets.
10. What is paragraph 6 mainly about？ ______
A. The process of the work.
B. The patterns of the code.
C. The importance of the letter.
D. The information about the experts.
11. What does the last paragraph indicate？ ______
A. The code will become more popular.
B. It will be easier for people to create codes.
C. There will be more discoveries in the future.
D. People will get more information about all leaders.
D
The answer to traffic jams on the highways around airports could be electric air taxis.But this is not a futuristic dream.United Airlines is helping to make it a reality.
The carrier is ordering 200 electric air taxis，also called eVOTL planes，from Eve Air Mobility which designed vehicles for short distance—like going from city centers to airports—that can seat four passengers.The eVOTL planes take off and land like helicopters.
These vehicles that are due to be delivered in 2026 can fly from rooftop to rooftop.These types of vehicles are more environmental than using ground transportation.That's because the air taxis use electric engines that have no carbon emissions（碳排放）.This will reduce pollution and noise levels by 90 percent，according to United Airlines and Eve Air Mobility.
"Our agreement with Eve shows our confidence in the urban air mobility market and serves as another important step toward our goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050，"said Michael Leskinen，president of United Airlines Ventures."We'll get there not with empty gestures，but by taking the harder path of actually reducing the emissions from flying."If the company meets its goal of reducing its carbon footprint to net zero，it will be the first US airline to do so.
This isn't United's first try for environmental protection.The company started using bio-fuel（生物燃料）in flights from Los Angeles in 2016.It was the first airline in the US to promise to significantly use bio-fuel and this could cut emissions by 60 percent.From baby steps to flying ones，this airline is working on its commitment to the environment.Hopefully this is just one part of a global commitment to green the airline industry.
12. How does the author introduce the takeoff and landing of eVOTL planes？ ______
A. By providing a long list. B. By using experts' words.
C. By making a comparison. D. By referring to a news report.
13. What can we learn about the eVOTL planes？ ______
A. They make no noise when flying.
B. They each can hold eight passengers.
C. They are designed for long distances.
D. They are friendly to the environment.
14. What can be inferred about United Airlines？ ______
A. It promises to use bio-fuel in 2050.
B. It has a pioneering spirit.
C. It stopped carbon emissions in 2016.
D. It shows no interest in electric air taxis.
15. What might be the best title for the text？ ______
A. The Promising Future of Air Travel Is Seen Now
B. More Companies Are Developing Green Technologies
C. Electric Air Taxis Will Make Getting to the Airport Easy
D. Electric Air Taxis Will Be Put Into Wide Use in the Future

37. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the last game of the season. Cali had been playing soccer all summer. She really enjoyed running around with the other players. As much as she tried, though, Cali still had not scored one single goal.
"Don't give up," said her coach. He showed Cali and her team how to pass the ball to each other and take shots at the goal. Cali was pretty good at passing the ball, but even during practices, she couldn't kick the ball past the goalkeeper. She wondered if she should quit soccer for good.
"Don't give up," said Uncle George-and Aunt Lisa. But it was half-time, and Cali was feeling upset. She was trying! Every time she got a chance to kick the ball, it would go in the wrong direction or a player from the other team would take control of it. Maybe she would try a different sport next summer.
The break was over and the referee (裁判) blew her whistle to start the game again. The two teams walked back onto the field, both determined to win. Cali heard her aunt whisper in her ear."Look for an opportunity to get the ball. You can do it." Cali took a deep breath. Even if she didn't get one goal all summer, she knew that she had tried her best. That was something to be proud of.
The yellow team was pretty good, but Cali's blue team was fast. Cali was off to the side when the ball headed her way. She ran over to it and kicked it. She watched it land right in front of a girl on the yellow team who expertly stopped it and sent it back in the other direction. Cali sighed (叹气).
Cali decided she'd wait until the game was over and then she was going to hang up her soccer shoes for good.
Cali started daydreaming about becoming a hip-hop dancer instead. She was woken from her daydream by some music that was definitely not hip-hop. It was the sweet, happy jingle of the ice cream truck.
注意：

It was right beside the soccer field, playing its music loudly to attract customers and players as well.

Pets for Vets （老兵）
Animal trainer Clarissa Black created Pets for Vets in 2009 as a way to say "thank you" to our nation's heroes.This organization recognizes that many vets return home with scars （伤疤），which make it difficult for them to live a normal life.Pets for Vets was founded to rescue and train shelter animals to provide therapy dogs for vets.The organization says that when the vet is matched with the right dog，both of their lives change for the better.
Paws With a Cause

Scott Kelly visited the University of Wisconsin-Madison （UW）.He shared his experiences in space with students.
Kelly graduated from college with an engineering degree in 1987.He was later accepted into Navy flight school.In 1995，Kelly sent his application to NASA to become an astronaut. He thought， "If I'm going to fail at something，I might as well just fail at something that I think I can't achieve." That's what Kelly told the audience at UW.To his surprise，he landed an interview.
From 1999 to 2016，Kelly took part in four space missions.His first was a repair trip to the Hubble Space Telescope.On his second trip，in 2007，he was the mission commander.Kelly finished his third mission in 2011.It was a five-month stay on the International Space Station （ISS）.NASA was interested in the idea of sending people to space for an even longer period of time.The space agency then chose Kelly to set off on a 340-day mission to the ISS.The trip became one of the longest time ever spent in space.
The main purpose of the mission was to study how the human body responds to a long space flight.Space weakens your bones and muscles because your body doesn't have to use them much in low gravity.That s why astronauts work out for at least two hours a day.Eyesight is also greatly affected by space travel.Kelly says that he wears glasses to correct his vision because of his time spent in space.
There's still a lot to learn about the effects of space flights on the body.And there's always work to be done in space.The more people who get interested in space，the more steps we can take toward a possible moon base，or even a Mars base.
For kids desiring to become astronauts，Kelly has some advice， "Choose something that you like，because if you like it，you'll do better at it".
4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean？ ______
A. Kelly was very afraid of failure.
B. Kelly was sure that he would be rejected.
C. Kelly didn't really like to be an astronaut.
D. Kelly was very confident about the application.
5. How long did Kelly's fourth mission last？ ______

In 1547，the king of Spain sent a coded （编码的） letter to his ambassador in France.Now，after nearly 500 years，researchers have finally cracked（破解） the code and can read the letter.It turns out that the king was worried someone might be trying to kill him.
Charles V was the king of Spain from 1516 to 1556.But his power went far beyond Spain.As the "Holy Roman Emperor"，Charles V controlled lands across Europe.In spite of his great power，he had to manage many threats.
Three years before the letter was written，Charles V had made a peace deal with King Francis I of France.But there was still a lot of information he didn't want to share with the king of France.
At the time，the only way to communicate across long distances was to send letters.But letters weren't secure.So Charles V used a complicated code to send information that needed to be kept secret.
Cecile Pierrot is a cryptographer- -an expert in codes.She and a team of other cryptographers set out to figure out what the letter said.The code was harder to crack than Ms.Pierrot had expected.But as the researchers studied the three-page letter，they began to notice some patterns.
Some symbols stood for just one letter.Others stood for several letters combined.And a few of the symbols stood for whole words.To make things more difficult，some symbols meant nothing at all and were only included to make the code harder to crack.
After three years of efforts，the experts finally cracked the code.The team says the decoded letter tells them a lot about tensions in Europe at the time.The discovery opens a door to even more history.There are hundreds of similar letters all over Europe.Now that the code is broken，historians will have a much easier time learning what Charles V was thinking about during his time as a leader.
8. Whom did Charles V send the letter to？ ______
A. An ambassador. B. Roman Emperor.
C. King Francis I. D. Cecile Pierrot.
9. Why did Charles V send a coded letter？ ______
A. He liked playing with codes. B. It was his writing style.
C. It was a rule at the time. D. The letter involved secrets.
10. What is paragraph 6 mainly about？ ______
A. The process of the work.
B. The patterns of the code.
C. The importance of the letter.
D. The information about the experts.
11. What does the last paragraph indicate？ ______
A. The code will become more popular.
B. It will be easier for people to create codes.
C. There will be more discoveries in the future.
D. People will get more information about all leaders.
D
The answer to traffic jams on the highways around airports could be electric air taxis.But this is not a futuristic dream.United Airlines is helping to make it a reality.
The carrier is ordering 200 electric air taxis，also called eVOTL planes，from Eve Air Mobility which designed vehicles for short distance—like going from city centers to airports—that can seat four passengers.The eVOTL planes take off and land like helicopters.
These vehicles that are due to be delivered in 2026 can fly from rooftop to rooftop.These types of vehicles are more environmental than using ground transportation.That's because the air taxis use electric engines that have no carbon emissions（碳排放）.This will reduce pollution and noise levels by 90 percent，according to United Airlines and Eve Air Mobility.
"Our agreement with Eve shows our confidence in the urban air mobility market and serves as another important step toward our goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050，"said Michael Leskinen，president of United Airlines Ventures."We'll get there not with empty gestures，but by taking the harder path of actually reducing the emissions from flying."If the company meets its goal of reducing its carbon footprint to net zero，it will be the first US airline to do so.
This isn't United's first try for environmental protection.The company started using bio-fuel（生物燃料）in flights from Los Angeles in 2016.It was the first airline in the US to promise to significantly use bio-fuel and this could cut emissions by 60 percent.From baby steps to flying ones，this airline is working on its commitment to the environment.Hopefully this is just one part of a global commitment to green the airline industry.
12. How does the author introduce the takeoff and landing of eVOTL planes？ ______
A. By providing a long list. B. By using experts' words.
C. By making a comparison. D. By referring to a news report.
13. What can we learn about the eVOTL planes？ ______
A. They make no noise when flying.
B. They each can hold eight passengers.
C. They are designed for long distances.
D. They are friendly to the environment.
14. What can be inferred about United Airlines？ ______
A. It promises to use bio-fuel in 2050.
B. It has a pioneering spirit.
C. It stopped carbon emissions in 2016.
D. It shows no interest in electric air taxis.
15. What might be the best title for the text？ ______
A. The Promising Future of Air Travel Is Seen Now
B. More Companies Are Developing Green Technologies
C. Electric Air Taxis Will Make Getting to the Airport Easy
D. Electric Air Taxis Will Be Put Into Wide Use in the Future

37. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the last game of the season. Cali had been playing soccer all summer. She really enjoyed running around with the other players. As much as she tried, though, Cali still had not scored one single goal.
"Don't give up," said her coach. He showed Cali and her team how to pass the ball to each other and take shots at the goal. Cali was pretty good at passing the ball, but even during practices, she couldn't kick the ball past the goalkeeper. She wondered if she should quit soccer for good.
"Don't give up," said Uncle George-and Aunt Lisa. But it was half-time, and Cali was feeling upset. She was trying! Every time she got a chance to kick the ball, it would go in the wrong direction or a player from the other team would take control of it. Maybe she would try a different sport next summer.
The break was over and the referee (裁判) blew her whistle to start the game again. The two teams walked back onto the field, both determined to win. Cali heard her aunt whisper in her ear."Look for an opportunity to get the ball. You can do it." Cali took a deep breath. Even if she didn't get one goal all summer, she knew that she had tried her best. That was something to be proud of.
The yellow team was pretty good, but Cali's blue team was fast. Cali was off to the side when the ball headed her way. She ran over to it and kicked it. She watched it land right in front of a girl on the yellow team who expertly stopped it and sent it back in the other direction. Cali sighed (叹气).
Cali decided she'd wait until the game was over and then she was going to hang up her soccer shoes for good.
Cali started daydreaming about becoming a hip-hop dancer instead. She was woken from her daydream by some music that was definitely not hip-hop. It was the sweet, happy jingle of the ice cream truck.
