After a confirmed rabies(狂犬病) case in Parke County, Indiana, experts are urging caution if you find a bat(蝙蝠) in your home or office.
“If you try to kill a bat, you are more likely to get bitten,” said Joy O'Keefe, assistant professor of biology and director of Indiana State University's Centre for Bat Research, Outreach and Conservation. “Most bats people find in their houses are healthy and are not going to bite them and give them rabies.” But they could be a federally endangered species, such as the Indiana Bat, which is found in this area.
So if you spot a bat in your home or office, don't kill it or touch it with bare hands, O'Keefe said. Instead, put on a pair of heavy gloves and gently move it into a box or bucket. Once contained, the bat can be removed outside.
“If it's a healthy bat, it'll fly away eventually,” O'Keefe said. “If it doesn't move or seem to be healthy, you can take it to the health department to be tested.”
This is the time of year when bats move from their summer resting sites to their winter resting sites, O'Keefe said.
“We get calls every year during the first month of school year from people finding bats in the university's buildings,” said O'Keefe.
Bats are a great help to people, as every night they can eat up to their entire body weight of insects. Bats, however, are facing great threats from epidemics(流行性疾病), habitat destruction and other things.
“The best way the average person can help bats is by understanding them and by telling other people how awesome bats are and what bats do for us,” O' Keefe said. “Hopefully, it will make people think that if there's a bat in their house, they should try to get it out but not kill it. That would be really positive for bats—to not have people be one of their major threats.”
（1）According to the text, experts are giving the public a warning about _______.
A.the biting by bats
B.the danger of keeping bats
C.the spreading of an infectious disease
D.the extinction of an endangered species
（2）In O'Keefe's opinion, when you find a bat in your house, you should _______.
A.put it on a tree
B.send it to get tested
C.remove it with gloves
D.report to the health department
（3）We can infer that the text is probably written in _______.
A.spring
B.summer
C.autumn
D.winter
（4）The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably means _______.
A.what bats like to eat
B.people's awareness of bats
C.the best way to protect bats
D.the greatest threat bats are facing

What do you think of cats? Some people think very lovely. But not all people love cats. Compared with dogs, cats seem to be very lazy and unfriendly. Besides, cats are not known for acts of selflessness (無私). But maybe we're wrong about them. Don't believe it? Then meet Pippa, a very unusual cat.
The black-and-white cat was left in a box outside a shop and taken by the British RSPCA to the Jansa family in Whitstable, Kent. They really loved her character (性格) and decided to adopt (收養(yǎng)) it，but they never guessed she'd become a lifesaver.
Eight-year-old Mia Jansa had diabetes and had become good at testing her blood during the day, as well as having something to eat or drink to bring her blood sugar levels back. But the danger was at night. Mia could easily experience hypoglycemic (低血糖癥的) situations when she was asleep, which could cause even death.
Soon after she was adopted, Pippa went into Mia's bedroom in the middle of the night and woke her up. When the child tested her blood sugar levels, she found they were dangerously low. Ever since, Pippa always visits Mia at night. If she can't get her to wake up, she raises the alarm.
“Pippa does this of her own accord,” says Mia's mother Laura. “We don't make a request for caring because we don't want to encourage wrong alarms. She gets plenty of hugs. It gives me peace of mind and I know someone else is keeping an eye on Mia.”
Now the family is so happy that they've chosen to adopt it in the first place.
（1）Why did the family decide to adopt the cat?
A.Because they considered it as a lifesaver.
B.Because her character interested them.
C.Because they really loved her looks.
D.Because Mia Jansa needed help.
（2）What problem did Mia Jansa face?
A.She was bad at testing her blood.
B.She might suffer death in the daytime.
C.She might be in danger while asleep at night.
D.She couldn't let her blood sugar levels return to normal.
（3）For what does Pippa visit Mia at night?
A.To see if her blood sugar levels are normal.
B.To make her laugh when she's lonely.
C.To make sure that she is safe.
D.To play with the alarm.
（4）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.Pippa does that according to her own habits.
B.Pippa does that without being asked.
C.Pippa does that for her own good.
D.Pippa does that without a purpose.

Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.
When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to “l(fā)ook at weak places in your armor(盔甲)”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks in your knowledge. On the other hand, it is no good just trying to fill your mind with knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range(范圍) of learning, like a silly tourist going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose, and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities of the cultured man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.
（1）The writer thinks that one must ___________.
A.read as many books as he can
B.read books on the subjects that interest him
C.read and absorb a lot
D.try to read books on all the different subjects
（2）A cultured man is similar to a camel because __________.
A.neither of them is interested in knowledge
B.both of them have the ability to select
C.neither of them can be considered wise
D.the man reads books as much as a camel eats grass
（3）The term “mental food” refers to ____________-.
A.grassland
B.subjects
C.books
D.brain
（4）In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses___________.
A.how to compare furniture with books
B.why books must be absorbed
C.how to select reading materials
D.why students go to a library

【題目】根據短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Summer time is a great opportunity for kids to learn how to work and earn a little bit of spending money. If your child needs a summer job, here are a few options to consider:
Lemonade/Cookie Stand
Benefits
Creates a concept of running a business: Your child will be his own boss, set his own price , and run the show. It's a great introduction to running his own business.

What Kids Learn About Money: Your child will learn a very valuable lesson about pricing. The price of his lemonade will decide how much he can sell, if he will recover his investment and the amount of profit.
Yard Work

As we know,the construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution.So green buildings are in great need.

The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity（生物多樣性）,improved air and water quality,less waste flowing into streams and the protection of natural resources.Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality,improving the health of people who live there.

The process of building green includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind.Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw.In addition,recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings,reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials long distances.

Careful site selection is important to minimize（最小化）human effect on the surrounding environment.For example,placing a structure in an area that allows it to take advantage of cool breezes（微風）and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses.More energy and expense are needed for larger buildings as well,so it is important to build small.

Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and cost.These roofs are partially or completely covered with plants,which helps to keep heating and cooling costs low,prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.

Other features of green buildings often include energy and water protection,recycling and waste reduction.In addition,renewable energy sources such as solar power,waterpower and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the influence on the environment.

【1】What can we know about green building?

A. Producing no waste. B. Only using clean energy.

C. Being made of new materials. D. Environmental friendly.

【2】What is a green building probably like according to the fifth paragraph?
