Read Your Cat’s Body Language—Know Your Pet More

Have you ever thought that your cat is an aloof(冷漠的) creature to you? Then it is because you do not understand it. Your cat is always trying to communicate to you through its gestures and body language. So to know your cat more, you need to know more about the cat’s body language.

The tail is the most important part of your cat’s body; it often shows its mood and intention. If your cat is sweeping its tail in broad gestures, then it means annoyance or impatience at your extreme petting(抚摩). If you continue to hug the cat might give you a “bat” with its paws. A rapid sweeping of tail back and forth, right from the center shows an extreme anxiety in your cat. If you find your cat turning its body fully sideways and extending its tail upwards, then be sure that your cat is giving a sign of a conflict with the fellow cats. Often you will find your cat lowering its tail between her legs, which show her complete obedience(顺从的). A raised tail also indicates that your cat wants to be friendly.

Along with the tail, the cat’s body gestures speak volumes about its mood and behavior. While bent legs is a sign of defending itself, outstretched legs will show self-confidence and self-assurance. If the cat’s ears are back and the body low, it will show its shame or regret; raised ears will show interest in the happenings around it. If you find your cat with the head completely lowered then it will show that it is boredom and disappointed.

36. Your cat is impatient with your petting when it is ________

A. raising its tail B. lowering its tail between her legs

C. sweeping its tail in broad gestures D. extending its tail upwards

37. The underlined word “bat” refers to ________.

A. it will show that your cat is boredom and disappointed

B. it means that your cat is feeling disappointed

C. something around is drawing its attention

D. you may see a fight between cats very soon

39. What does the third paragraph tell us?

A. Importance of tail movement. B. Movement of other body parts.

LONDON(Reuters)—A French woman who had the world’s first partial（部分的） face transplant has spoken of her surprise at seeing her new appearance, the Daily Mail newspaper said on Saturday.

The 38-year-old woman underwent（接受） the operation to give her a new nose, chin and mouth at a hospital in the northern French city of Amiens last month.

“When I looked at my new face, I knew straight away that it was me,” the paper quoted the woman, who was disfigured（毁容） after her dog injured her badly, as saying. “It was simply amazing to see a nose and mouth on my face.”

The woman, who is recovering in a hospital in Lyon, told the paper that the attack of the dog had left her so disfigured that she had been forced to wear a dental mask.

People in the street would recoil from her in horror, she said, and even one of her own two daughters found her appearance unbearable. “Old people were the worst, they used to stop and stare at me all the time,” she said. “My elder daughter Lucie just didn’t want to see me—I had to wear a mask. If I didn’t she refused to see me.”

Earlier this week the woman asked journalists to respect her privacy after her operation attracted the media.

The paper said the woman now wanted to live a normal life but was worried about what reaction there might be when she leaves hospital.

40. What made the French woman so disfigured?

A. Her falling over. B. A big fire.

C. A car accident. D. Her pet’s attack.

41. The underlined word “recoil” in Paragraph 5 probably means “______”.

A. laugh at B. move back C. whisper D. scream

42. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?

A. The operation on the woman proved successful.

B. The woman felt amazed when she saw her new face.

C. The media have reported a lot about the woman and the operation.

D. Before operation, the people who hated to meet her most were her husband and children.

43. It can be inferred from the text that the woman ______.

A. may still be the focus of attention for some time

B. will never live a normal life after the operation

C. dislikes the journalists’ disturbing of her privacy

D. needn’t wear a mask any more

Shanghai, China, is home to the world’s tallest woman. Yao Defen, a 36-year-old woman, suffers from a brain tumor(肿瘤) which is believed to be the reason behind her huge height and size. Defen stands at 7.75 feet tall, which is 2 inches more than Sandy Allen of the United States, who is listed as the world’s tallest woman in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Defen’s brain tumor is located in a gland(腺) of the brain that regulates the outlet of growth hormones(荷尔蒙). Because of her tumor, her body was forced to let out an excess(过量) of growth hormones, which lead to her extreme height. This excess of growth hormones has made many of her bones weak and brittle, making it hard for this 36-year-old woman to sit or stand.

Defen’s family are poor farmers living in eastern China. And after the story of her extreme height tumor was broadcasted internationally by the Discovery Channel, many doctors in China were willing to award Defen free treatment for her illness. She is now reportedly taking medicine to stop the gland from producing more growth hormones, so she won’t continue to grow.

Doctors expect that after her treatment and surgery Defen will shrink 30%. This shrinkage will ease the osteoporosis, a disease that makes bones in the body weak and more likely to break, which will hopefully allow Defen to lead a more normal life.

44. From the passage, we learn that ______.

A. Defen’s family has difficulty in paying her treatment

B. Defen has suffered from a brain tumor for 36 years

C. Defen is the tallest woman in the Guinness Book of World Records

D. Defen’s bones have already broken quite a few times

45. According to the passage, which is the best thing that Defen should do to live a normal life?

A. Harden her bones. B. Repeatedly take medicine.

C. Lie in bed all day. D. Have an operation to remove the brain tumor.

46. The underlined word “shrink” in the last paragraph probably means ______.

A. draw together B. reduce in size

C. move back D. stop growing

47. The best title of the passage is “______”.

A. Cure for Head Brain Tumor B. Patient Survives from Osteoporosis

C. Treatment for World’s Tallest Woman D. Excess of Growth Hormones

Long before the calculator or even modern math, Egyptians had discovered a way to multiply large numbers quickly. Here’s how it works.

Suppose you had this problem: 13×12=? On a sheet of paper, draw a line to separate two columns. Down the column on the left, begin with the number 1. Double it and write 2 below it, then double the 2 and write 4, and so on.

Down the column on the right, write the number you are multiplying by (in this case, 12). Under the 12, double it and write 24. Then double the 24 and write the number 48 under it, and so on.

Your columns should look like this:

1 12

2 24

4 48

8 96

16 192

Now find the numbers in the left column that add up to the first number in the problem (in this case, 13). The numbers 1 4 8=13, so underline the numbers in the right column opposite these numbers. Add these numbers (12 48 96) together, and you will get the sum 156, which is the correct answer to the problem of multiplying 13 by 12.

Now try another example: 38×251=?

1 251

2 502

4 1,004

8 2,008

16 4,016

32 8,032

We see that 2 4 32=38. So 38×251=502 1,004 8,032. And that equals 9,538.

The ancient Egyptians also used columns like these to divide large numbers. Can you think of how they might have done that?

48. The ancient Egyptians used columns to _______ large numbers.

A. add up B. multiply C. divide D. both B and C

49. What does the author tell us?

A. Egyptians were good at counting.

B. Egyptians had their own way to multiply large numbers quickly.

C. Egyptians could calculate only by adding up numbers.

D. Egyptians were quick in adding up the numbers。

50. From the passage, we can conclude the ancient Egyptians were ______.

A. stupid B. clever C. interesting D. humorous

51. Which is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The ancient Egyptians used columns to divide large numbers.

B. Egyptians had discovered a way to multiply large numbers quickly after the calculator or even modern math.

C. Egyptians were good at counting.

D. The ancient Egyptians were very clever.

Scientists say they were able to reduce the effect of the AIDS with a drug first designed to treat other conditions. AIDS damages the protection system so the body cannot fight viruses inside the body. At present, medicines can reduce HIV to levels low enough to keep people alive. But these drugs are not a cure. Small amounts of the virus still remain in human’s body. If it wakes up again, the virus can become active and begin to copy itself, so people must continue to take medicine.

A new study has been carried out on four patients. They had already taken medicine for more than two years. The researchers first improved the effect of the drug. Then they gave the patient another one, valproic acid(丙戊酸). Valproic acid is used to help epilepsy(癫痫病) patients. Some people with depression(抑郁症) also take the drug to calm themselves down.

But valproic acid has also been shown to block something that helps HIV, the AIDS virus, to hide. The patients took the medicine twice a day for three months.

Over this time, the researchers say the amount of the virus was reduced by nearly seventy-five percent in three of the four people. But the numbers returned to earlier levels when the treatment ended.

Valproic acid has some serious dangers, especially for women who will soon give birth. Doctor Margolis says more study is needed into its use against AIDS. But the scientists do say that their early finding suggests that new methods will produce a cure of HIV in the future. Some other scientists, however, say it is too early to talk of cure for a virus that is so difficult to destroy. They say a cure would have to make the patients healthy again and the virus might not hide only in the protection system.

52. Which of the following is NOT a function of Valproic acid?

A. To control the effects of epilepsy.

B. To block something that helps HIV.

C. To calm down people with depression.

D. To improve the strength of other drugs.

53. By saying that “it is too early to talk of cure for a virus that is so difficult to destroy”, the author means _______.

A. scientists hope to find the cure for AIDS soon

B. scientist don’t want to talk about their cure too early

C. scientists doubt whether a cure for AIDS can soon be found

D. it’s too late to find the cure for a virus that is so difficult to destroy

54. This text most probably appears in ________.

A. a newspaper B. a book on Chinese medicine

C. a notice D. a tour guide book

55. We can learn from the text that ________.

A. valproic acid can help all HIV patients

B. usually the AIDS virus is not difficult to destroy

C. the effects of valproic acid do not last forever

D. doctors have found an effective way to cure the AIDS
