五、阅读理解

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 small building.“We didn’t believe it,” Watford said.“But when we got 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 neighbours 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 or 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,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,and respect is not taking an animal,sticking it in a little cage,and expecting the animal to be happy.”

1.When he got the call,Watford felt 　　　. 

A.excited B.surprised

C.fearful D.angry

答案B

解析细节理解题。根据第一段的“Wedidn’tbelieveit”可知,Watford感到很惊讶。

2.When it finds an exotic animal in the city,the ASPCA 　　　. 

A.keeps it until it grows up

B.sets it free into the wild

C.helps find it a home

D.sells it to a zoo

答案C

解析细节理解题。根据第二段的“TheASPCAtriestofindhomesfortheminzoosorspecialareasforanimals.”可知。

3.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A.Pet owners can’t really control a wild animal.

B.A baby wild animal behaves badly at home.

C.Wild animals have their joy and anger.

D.A wild animal often destroys a home.

答案A

解析推理判断题。根据第三段的“butbecausethepet’sownerneedshelp”和“Alovelybabylionorbearwillfinallygrowuptobedangerous.”可知,将野生动物当成宠物养的人有时会受到宠物的威胁。由此可推测,养宠物的人并不能完全控制野生动物。

4.The last paragraph is written to show that 　　　. 

A.it takes effort to care for a wild animal

B.keeping wild animals as pets is unwise

C.wild animals are happy in big spaces

D.wild animals can be dangerous

答案B

解析段落大意题。该段首句为主题句,由此可知,该段主要想说明把野生动物当宠物养是不明智的。

WhyDoWeGetAngry?

Anger seems simple when we are feeling it,but the causes of anger are various.Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior,and correct bad habits.The main reasons we get angry are triggering(触发) events,personality traits(特征),and our assessment of situations.　1　 

Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages.However,here are some examples:being cut off in traffic,a deadline approaching,experiencing physical pain,and much more.　2　 The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits. 

Each person,no matter who they are,has psychological imbalances.People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry.　3　 Also,sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition,but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred. 

　4　 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger,or anger itself.Sometimes ignorance and negative(消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger. 

　5　 However,anger can easily turn violent,and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence.With these main reasons in mind,we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings. 

A.Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.

B.But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence or anger.

C.Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait,and is usually advised to reduce it.

D.Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.

E.Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state,where anger is in the background of your mind.

F.Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.

G.Not everyone acts the same in response to events,and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.

答案1~5 FGEAD
