He’s very lucky with his timing. He grew up having other kittens to play and socialize with, and was used to people from the moment he was born since there are always kids hanging around the barn. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.‎ That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one can take him.” Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.‎ When we first brought him home Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around, jumping onto my bed and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, and he stops. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.‎ Also, a few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new farm cat named Bear. Bear and Jack have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see. Jack always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They chase each other around and wrestle, and when they’re tired they’ll lie down in the grass together.‎ Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned a lot of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest, most playful. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity. Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said, “Cats don’t have disabilities; they have adaptability”.‎ ‎( ) 24. Why did Jack come to the author’s home?‎ ‎ A. He cared for an eyeless cat. ‎ B. He didn’t mind whether he was blind ‎ C. No other young cat kept him company. ‎ D. His friend begged him to take him home.‎ ‎( ) 25. Which of the following statements is true?‎ A. Jack often wrestles with Bear indoor.‎ B. Jack likes to play with a new eyeless cat.‎ C. Jack can adapt to the new environment quickly.‎ D. Jack is good at talking and playing with people.‎ ‎( ) 26. What does the underline word “issues” in paragraph 3 mean?‎ A. Trouble. B. Fun. C. Luck. D. Business.‎ ‎( ) 27. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. A cat has nine lives. ‎ B. All is well that ends well.‎ C. God help those who help themselves. ‎ D. A good beginning makes a good ending.‎ C ‎“Sorry, but I don’t agree with you…” This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears. I’ve always found it difficult to disagree with someone because I don’t want to lose a friend. I’ve found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego (自尊心) is hurt.‎ Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response would be, “If you aren’t able to see my point of view, then what you think isn’t worth my time or consideration, either.” But now I’ve come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, “I don’t agree with the way things are done.” She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter. However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I’m against the truth. That’s when I need to listen to what she says.‎ I’ve learned that for me one way to help my friend is to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully. While we can’t control ‎ how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love. We will never feel that we are better than the other person. And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective in the way we express our opinions. In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback (反馈) from others, knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.‎ Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions. Though I don’t like being disagreed with, I’m starting to see the value of such disagreements.‎ ‎( ) 28. The author has found it difficult to disagree with someone because ______. ‎ A. he is a friendly person B. he usually hides his ideas C. he has no mind of his own D. he wants to keep the friendship ‎( ) 29. When a friend disagreed with him, the author used to _______.‎ A. be unhappy B. argue with the friend C. break up with the friend D. explain things calmly ‎( ) 30. The author will listen to a friend when _______.‎ A. he is against the truth B. he doesn’t tell the truth C. he is respected by the friend D. he does things in the wrong way ‎( ) 31. What does the author mainly talk about in the text?‎ A. How to keep friendship. B. How to avoid hurting a friend.‎ C. How to express disagreements. D. How to deal with disagreements.‎ D The World Health Organization (WHO) said that processed meat may be carcinogenic (致癌). Do you still dare eat cancer-linked processed meat? Here are some comments on the website.‎ Bill (Australia): I’d rather live a short, pleasant life than a long, unhappy one, denying(拒绝给予) myself tasty food just because some experts say it’s not healthy. We should all enjoy the one life we have ---if I had listened to every piece of health advice, I would never go anywhere, eat anything or enjoy life in any way. So, I won’t change my habit. I am going to have bacon sandwich, a glass of wine, a burger, or a can of coke whenever I fell like it.‎ Tim (America): Is meat really as bad as smoking? I don’t think so. According to ‎ the WHO, 34,000 people die worldwide per year because they eat processed meat. In 2012, 8.2 million people died of cancer worldwide. That means if you eat a lot of processed meat you have a chance of being among the 0.41 percent of people dying of cancer because of processed meat. I’ll take the chance.‎ Helen (Switzerland): The WHO doesn’t say that just one bite of meat causes cancer; it is rather saying that people should vary their diet. People who eat more meat often have other unhealthy habits. They usually eat fewer fruits and vegetables and they also often exercise less.‎ Van (China): Perhaps this report will make people consider becoming vegetarians (素食者). So for your health, the environment and future generations, it is not difficult; it just needs a change of attitude. There is a vast variety of other delicious food available to enjoy.‎ ‎( ) 32. What if Bill has to change his habit?‎ A. He’ll feel unhappy. B. He’ll live a pleasant life.‎ C. He’ll go on a diet. D. He’ll become a vegetarian.‎ ‎( ) 33.What does Tim think about eating processed meat ?‎ A. Too risky. B. Fairly safe. ‎ C. Popular worldwide. D. Very unhealthy.‎ ‎( ) 34.What may be Helen a response to WHO’s warning?‎ A. Caring little about it. B. Eating whatever she likes.‎ C. Varying the diet and doing exercise. D. Taking a diet without meat.‎ ‎( ) 35.Who have the most similar viewpoints?‎ A. Bill and Tim. B. Tim and Helen. ‎ C. Helen and Van. D. Bill and Van.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ As we know, everyone can make mistakes, but don’t worry about it.
