Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
George Watford works at the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in New York City.He gets some unusual phone calls.One day,he got a call about a mountain lion living in a samll building.“We didn’t believe it,” Watford said.“But when we went out there,sure enough,there was a mountain lion sitting at the front window looking out at us”.The big cat’s owner knew that his neighbors were unhappy about the animal.He didn’t try to stop us taking it away.
In one year,the ASPCA took in 9,459 different animals,not counting cats and dogs.That number includes a lot of rabbits and monkeys,but the ASPCA has also taken many other exotic (外来的) pets from people’s homes.These animals can’t be set free into the wild because they wouldn’t survive.The ASPCA tries to find homes for them in zoos or special areas for animals.
It’s against the law to sell wild animals in New York City.Many buildings don’t even allow dogs and cats,not to mention more exotic animals.Still,the ASPCA takes away most of the exotic animals not because of complaints (怨言),but because the pet’s owner needs help.A lovely baby lion or bear will finally grow up to be dangerous.“When they bite (咬人),it isn’t because they hate you.It’s because they’re wild animals,” said exotic animal expert Kathi Travers.
Travers is quick to give speeches against raising wild animals as pets.Too often people think that caring for a wild animal is the same as caring for a dog or a cat.“To love an animal is not enough,”Travers said.“There has to be respect (尊重),and respect is not taking an animal,sticking it in a little cage,and expecting the animal to be happy.”

National Potato Day was back on Friday 23rd August 2013.Along with Bord Bia(Irish Food Board) and many other potato growers in Ireland,Keogh’s Farm brought you a day that was all about potatoes and showing love for our national vegetable.
Keogh’s invited the public to Spud Fest,which took place on Dublin’s South King Street from 12 pm to 4 pm.This festival brought the farm to the city with potato performers,face painters,balloon modeling,music,tastings and plenty of other festival fun to celebrate the most delicious day of the year.There were lots of potatoes,of course.
Keogh’s along with the support of Bord Bia called on everyone to enjoy at least one potato on National Potato Day.Potatoes are naturally low in fat,a great source of vitamins and minerals and are a great way to support local Irish homegrown produce and businesses.
Tom Keogh,General Manager of Keogh’s Farm said,We can’t believe we were getting ready for our third year of National Potato Day.When we dreamt the idea up in 2011,we had no idea it would attract so many people.Since the first National Potato Day we have received nothing but interest in potatoes at home and all over the world.
Ireland is now recognized as one of the finest producers of top quality vegetables,with the potato leading the field.We are happy that Bord Bia have joined us this year to bring all our fellow potato producers together and join forces to promote (提升) the enjoyment of the potato.We are hoping National Potato Day is a day to encourage everyone to love potatoes!

Imagine driving down a country road past a huge,open field where goats are eating grass.Suddenly a truck breaks down and makes a loud noise.Just as suddenly,the goats fall to the ground.
A few moments pass.The goats are back on their feet.What just happened?Well,the goats were very frightened and dropped to the ground,but not all goats act like this.There is only one kind of goat that behaves this way when it is surprised.It is called a Tennessee Fainting (晕倒) Goat.
In the 1800s,a farmer arrived in Marshall County,Tennessee,with a few goats and a cow.People say he came from Nova Scotia,Canada.Since the man did not talk much,no one knew where he got these goats.When he left,he took the cow,but he sold the goats.
The behavior of one of the goats was different from most others.Being frightened caused the goat’s body to go stiff (僵直的) and sometimes fall over.No one had seen goats do this before.They began to call this new goat a Tennessee Fainting Goat.
This special kind of goat does not actually faint.They just look like they do.The fainting goats stay awake.The baby goats,however,usually do fall over,but the good thing is that they do not have far to fall.Some older ones learn to stand near something like a fence or a tree,just in case they are frightened.
Now there are about three thousand fainting goats in the United States.People enjoy raising them,because goats of this kind are gentle,smart,and playful.They just get scared stiff now and then.The moment of stiffness only lasts about ten or fifteen seconds.Then the goats walk and act like any other goat.

答案: C
10.Which of the following would most likely cause a fainting goat to fall?
