【8】

考查連接詞。句意：這是因?yàn)樗麄兩畹牡胤胶褪澄飦碓炊急黄茐牧�。結(jié)合句意表示“這是因?yàn)椤本湫蜑?/span>that is because…。故填because。

【9】

【題目】 Many people can't imagine life without dogs. 【1】. However, dogs and people are very different animals. To make the most of your relationship with your dog, you need to teach her some important skills. Here are three essential principles to keep in mind while teaching.

【2】.

One of the most frequent complaints of pet parents is that their dogs "just won't listen". But put yourself in your dog's shoes for a moment. If someone was constantly speaking in a foreign language how long would you pay attention? Probably not for very long because you simply couldn't understand what the foreign speaker was trying to communicate. Thus, you need to understand how.

If you like the behavior, reward it.

Some training methods use punishment, like scolding, to discourage dogs from doing everything except what you want them to do. 【3】. While both strategies can work, the latter is usually the more effective approach, and it's also much more enjoyable for you and your dog.

Control consequences effectively

As you teach your dog dos and don'ts, bear the following two guideline in mind;

Consequences must be immediate. Dogs live in the present. Unlike us, they can't make connections between events and experiences that are separated in time. For your dog to connect something she does with the consequences of that behavior, the consequences must be immediate 【4】, you have to catch her messing around in the kitchen and punish her on the spot.

【5】. When training your dog, you should respond the same way to things she does every time she does them. For example, if you sometimes touch your dog when she jumps up to greet you but sometimes yell at her instead, she'll definitely get confused. How can she know when it's okay to jump up and when it's not?

A.Consequences must be consistent

B.Understand how your dog learns

C.If you want to keep your dog safe

D.If you want to discourage your dog from doing something

E.We adore them for their loyalty, unconditional affection, and passion for life

F.Training your dog well will improve your life and hers, enhancing the bond

G.Other methods mainly focus on teaching dogs what you want them to do

【題目】 Being able to communicate effectively with others is an essential skill for people of all ages. 【1】 People who want to develop those skills can learn how to do this from self-help books, workshops, and from the advice of other people.

【2】 Active listening involves a person listening carefully and attentively to the person speaking, restating what the other person has said — or what comes across — in a brief and nonjudgmental manner. 【3】 Becoming effective at active listening is one way to increase trust and understanding in a relationship, whether it is a personal or professional one.

Another tip to developing and improving interpersonal communication skills is to use feedback for different types of communication. Before giving speeches and presentations, it is always well advised to practice them before an audience and to ask for feedback before giving the real speech or presentation. 【4】

【題目】 Bats often appear in movies and literature as frightening creatures. The animals have even been linked in some cultures to vampires, seeking to attack humans and drink the blood of them. In reality, bats are usually not harmful to people. They can do good things for people and the environment. For example, bats eat a lot of different insects that can harm our environment. They can also spread seeds.

But a serious disease is currently threatening the bat population in many parts of the United States. The disease is called white-nose syndrome. It has killed more than 6 million bats across the United States since 2007. Bats catch the disease through their skin while resting on the walls of mountain caves. Biologist Lindsay Rohrbaugh says that the disease spreads quickly and can lead to strange behavior in bats.

In Washington D. C, researchers are studying how white-nose syndrome is affecting the area's nine species of bats. Some scientists are trapping bats on an island in the middle of the Anacostia River to test for the disease. The group is receiving money to help carry out their studies.

Marco Carvello is with the Washington D. C Government's Department of Energy and Environment. "Scientists are concerned that the disease is continuing to greatly reduce the bat population. The bat deaths are affecting the quality of human life in many ways. Without bats, there is an increase of many insects. And that's only going to get worse over time if some ways can't be found," he said.

One theory is that some bats are no longer returning to caves to avoid getting, sick. This means more of them are now making their way into cities, where contact with humans is more likely Experts advise people to keep away from bats in case they have the disease. And animal control officers should safely remove the animals.

【1】According to Paragraph I people tend to think bats __________.

A.should be protected

B.can help spread seeds

C.do harm to human beings

D.may damage the environment

【2】Which of the following might Marco Carvello agree with?

A.The disease has led to people's strange behavior.

B.The-disease may cause the disappearance of bats.

C.The government should control the spread of the disease.

D.The decrease in the bat population can greatly affect humans' life.

【3】What does the author mainly tell us in the passage?

A.A bat species is decreasing in number.

B.We have found ways to protect bats.

C.A disease-causes many deaths of bats.

D.We should have a high opinion of bats.

【題目】 Roughly 8. 5 billion plastic straws are used in the United Kingdom each year, but as a new ban takes effect next April, that number will decrease to zero. One startup (初創(chuàng)企業(yè)) is hoping to capture the chance to make a kind of straws as an alternative by using an unlikely material: pasta (意大利面食).

“It has all the function of a plastic straw that everyone has been using,” says Maxim Gelmann, founder of Stroodles, the startup. The straws, made by an Italian company that also produces regular pasta, are the same shape and size as a standard plastic straw.

Unlike a paper straw, they don’t taste like wet paper; they don’t change the flavor of the drink. They last at least an hour, and longer in colder drinks. If you’re nursing a drink for hours and the pasta eventually softens, you can choose to eat it. The raw straw is also eatable, and Gelmann says that some people snack on them.

A handful of other pasta-straw startups also exist, though Stroodles is hoping to feature itself with a smoother, more plastic-like material and its branding.

It’s more expensive to make than a plastic straw, but at large volumes, it can compete with the cost of paper straws. Because of the coming ban, “No one really compares us with plastic anymore,” Gelmann says. “They compare us with paper straw prices, which makes my argument much easier and my expectation brighter.”

Other alternatives, like bamboo or stainless steel, are more expensive and a less elegant solution; some bars say that customers don’t trust the idea that stainless steel straws can be fully sanitized (消毒). Another option—a plastic-like eatable straw made from seaweed—may be more of a competitor.

【1】What’s the startup’s main purpose of producing the pasta straws?

A.To reduce the consumption of energy.

B.To take over the market.

C.To answer the call for the ban.

D.To compete with paper straws.

【2】What advantage do the pasta straws have compared with other straws?

A.They are cheaper.B.They can be used longer.

C.They can be treated as snacks.D.They are suitable for mass production.

【3】What attitude does Gelmann have towards the pasta straws’ future?

A.Controversial.B.Doubtful.

C.Cautious.D.Positive.

【4】What can be inferred from the text?

A.The government disagrees with Gelmann.

B.The startup will become a very big company.

C.The pasta straws face fierce competition.

D.The pasta straws can improve drinks’ flavor.
