“You brought home such a big dog on Christmas Eve? She’s not coming into my house.“ I said as they came. But my husband was happy to have the dog. From what he described, she had been neglected and tied to a tree. Her owners had to get rid of her because they were moving, so my husband brought her along.

I’m not against animals, but my work in emergency medicine let me see plenty of “the dog never bit anyone before” cases that I didn’t want repeated with my two-year-old. My husband adapted an area in the barn for her. He fed her in the morning before work and took her out in the evening. She was well-behaved. Still, I wasn’t taking chances with my child.

As the seasons passed, I started to feel bad for Brandy being stuck outside all the time. She seemed kind and gentle. Day after day, I would notice Brandy in her little space, alone, watching the house. The guilt was eating at me.

As my daughter grew a little older, I decided to let Brandy inside. She was a perfect house guest, showed no sign of aggression (进攻) and even became buddies with one of the cats. We made up for lost time with treats and soft beds. Once she moved into our house, she became a member of our family. We took her camping and found her to be great at traveling. She never caused a single moment’s trouble. As she became senior, I found a little dog Shirley through a rescue. We took Brandy to meet her, and Brandy played with the puppy, making it clear that there would be no problems bringing the young one home.

Brandy’s patient, gentle spirit showed me that you can’t judge a book by its cover—or a dog by its reputation. By opening my mind, I learned the truth about her. I’m so thankful for Brandy and the way she touched our lives, and the lessons she taught me.

4．What did the author learn about dogs through her work?

A．Large dogs will be a threat to people. B．Babies should be protected from dogs.

C．Dogs will bite people unexpectedly. D．Dogs shouldn’t live in man’s rooms.

5．What made the author feel guilty?

A．Her decision to adopt a new dog. B．Her refusal to admit Brandy home.

C．Her giving Brandy little living space. D．Her keeping her daughter off Brandy.

6．When did the author decide to adopt Shirley?

A．When old age was a problem for Brandy. B．When an animal rescue center contacted.

C．When Brandy turned friendly to the cats. D．When Brandy got a promotion at home.

7．What lesson did the author draw from her experience?

A．Rescued animals are a source of adoption.

B．Treating animals with respect is rewarding.

C．Dogs can be trained to be human companions.

D．Don’t judge things by the fame or impression.

A number of recent studies of families in several Asian countries help to shed light on how grandparents are involved in coparenting, which researchers define as the sharing of childcare and upbringing responsibility among two or more adults. These studies suggest that children benefit when parents have strong relationships with coparenting grandparents.

Researcher Xiaowei Li and her coworkers recently explored parent-grandparent coparenting in China, where it is very common. In their 2019 study, nearly 180 mothers of preschoolers completed questionnaires (问卷调查) about their coparenting. The majority of families lived in three-generational households, and 80% of families had only one child.

The questionnaire asked about positive aspects of the parent-grandparent coparenting relationship, like how much they agreed and felt close as well as challenging aspects like how much they had conflict in front of the child. The researchers also measured how competent mothers felt in using parenting strategies and teaching their children age-appropriate skills.

The findings? Mothers who had strong coparenting relationships with grandparents tended to feel more effective in their role as a parent, and, in turn, their children tended to be more socially competent. That’s because grandparents, with their rich experience, can provide support, role modeling, and encouragement when they raise children, which could influence how competent mothers feel in their parenting role. And when mothers are feeling more confident, they can approach parenting with more positivity, which can boost their children’s social development.

Parent-grandparent coparenting also seems to influence other aspects of children’s development, such as preschoolers’ effortful control—their ability to regulate how they respond to a situation and notice novelty or mistakes. For preschoolers, it might come into play when they get a gift they don’t like, or have to figure out how to share toys.

This research on grandparents highlights that handling the coparenting relationship is not without its challenges. But grandparents’ involvement in children’s upbringing can bring great benefits for families and grandparents themselves.

8．What might be included in the questionnaire?

A．Grandparents’ age gap. B．The support grandparents give.

C．The income the family have. D．Grandparents’ attitude to education.

9．What is the conclusion of the study?

A．Parents and grandparents can get along well.

B．Mothers’ ability has an effect on their children.

C．Good coparenting relationships benefit children.

D．Parent-grandparent coparenting is becoming popular.

10．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 probably refer to?

A．Effortful control. B．The response.

C．The development. D．The mistake.

11．What can be the best title for the text?

A．The Trend of Coparenting is Catching on in Asia.

B．How Young Parents Think of Grandparents’ Help

C．Coparenting Relationships Are Becoming Comfortable.

D．What Happens When Grandparents Help Raise Children.

Getting a driving license was once a universal passage into adulthood. But now a growing minority of young people ignore or actively oppose it, into their 20s and beyond. That starts to create more support for anti-car policies in cities around the world to pass anti-car laws, changing planning rules to favour pedestrians over drivers. After a century in which the car remade the rich world, the tide begins to swing the other way.

By 1997, 43% of America’s 16-year-olds had driving licenses. But the proportion has been falling for every age group under 40. Even those who have them are driving less. A similar trend is seen in Europe. One study of five European capitals found the number of driving trips made by working people was down substantially since a peak in the 1990s.

No one is entirely sure why young adults are proving resistant to owning a car. The growth of the interest is one obvious possibility—the more you can shop online, or stream films at home, the less need there is to drive into town. The rise of taxi apps like Uber has contributed as well. Driving generally is more expensive. Other reasons seem more cultural. One big motivator is worries about climate change.

The falling popularity of cars among the under-40s chimes with the mood among city planners and urbanists. In America, New York has banned cars from Central Park and some streets. In the past few years, dozens of American cities have removed rules that force developers to provide a certain amount of free parking around their buildings.

As the example in Oxfond shows, political opposition could put the brakes on the growth of anti-car policies. But in the parts of Europe where anti-car policies have been in place, they appear to have worked. Giulio notes that almost nowhere in the world that has removed a big road, or pedestrianised a shopping street, has decided to turn back. “Once people see, they generally don’t want to go back.” If that pattern holds, the 21st century might just see the car’s high-water mark.

12．What do a minority of young people ignore?

A．Owing a home as a sign of adulthood. B．Making it into the world of the rich.

C．Getting a driving license as an adult. D．Being involved in a kind of campaign.

13．What lead to cars’ becoming less popular?

A．Strict traffic regulations. B．Environmental concerns.

C．Some social prejudices. D．The use of self-driving apps.

14．What does the underlined part “chimes with” mean in paragraph 4?

A．Agrees with. B．Sticks to. C．Cooperates with. D．Emerges from.

15．What does the example in Oxford show?

A．People are keen about banning driving. B．Banning cars benefits city development.

C．It’s hard for young people to be drivers. D．Anti-car policies are met with opposition.

六、读后续写

47．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。

My Own Beat

My pulse quickened as my feet took me closer and closer to the door. In my head, I could hear the words my kids kept telling me, “Do it, Mom. You never do anything for yourself. Just follow your dream.” I felt my lungs filled with air and released it.

“What are you doing here? You’re a single mom of five. You’re fifty years old!” My thoughts were fighting with my kids’ words. Even so, it was as if I had no control over my feet. As if they were being urged along from somewhere deep inside me.

Finally I gathered my courage, stepped into the hall and signed up for drum classes, which was my childhood dream.

Wednesday came, and along with it my first drum lesson. I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back. My hands kept fidgeting (动来动去) with the sticks. I kept nervously looking at the time. I tried to slow down my breath. I knew the teacher would say I was not the right type of person to play the drums. I turned around to see an older man looking at me.

“Stephanie? I’m Mike, the drum teacher,” he said.

People make me nervous. That’s the way I’ve always been. But Mike had a very calm manner about him, so I relaxed just slightly. Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums, but he complimented me on how well I held the sticks and followed along with him.

“You are fine. I see so much potential in you,” he told me.

Soon my thirty-minute lesson is over. Walking back to my car, I felt full of excitement and energy. I thought of how many times I had driven my kids to their competitions and watched proudly as they bravely went in front of judges and audiences.

Now it felt scary and amazing at the same time to follow my dream and do something that was purely for my enjoyment, something just for me. Maybe one day I would have the chance to stand on the stage.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I started the car and couldn’t wait to go back home to tell my kids about my class.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Seeing my devotion and progress, Mike convinced me to play in a concert.

46．One possible version:

Dear Thomas,

It has been a few weeks since we made our acquaintance at the photo exhibition of life on campus in the City Museum. Memories of our time spent there keep flashing in my mind. As I recall the event, I can’t help but smile at the memories of our conversation, and how we talked about the positive effect of art on our life. While the exhibition has surely broadened my perspective on the world, your humorous talk as well as your knowledge about Chinese art has left a lasting impression on me. Now that you’re back to the school with your studies, I wonder how you’re getting on with your life in China. It’s my sincere hope that we can keep in touch regularly. If there’s something I can help you with, please don’t hesitate to ask.

All the best.

Yours,

Li Hua

47．I started the car and couldn’t wait to go back home to tell my kids about my class. When I stepped into the house, my kids yelled, “Did you do it?” “How was everything going?” Then they saw my excitement and the drumsticks in my hand. They started jumping up and down and then came to hug me. In the following days, I practiced as much as I could and my techniques improved greatly. When I played, I became so focused on the drums that it was as if my expression of who I was came out with every beat and rhythm.

Seeing my devotion and progress, Mike convinced me to play in a concert. When I told my children the news, they felt really happy for me, promising they would go with me. The big day soon came. When waiting for my turn, I felt a little nervous but thinking of my kids helped me to find strength within me. Walking up on the small stage, I breathed deeply and sat at the drum set. When I finished, everyone was clapping and cheering for me. I did it!
