And love.‎ ‎ We were responding to a call about a burning garage. Outside, I heard the sound of cats crying. I couldn’t stop — I would have to look for the cats after the fire was put out.‎ ‎ It took a long time to finally bring the big fire under control, but we did it. No one inside was hurt.‎ ‎ At that point I was free to investigate the cat noises. There was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. I followed the meowing (猫叫) to a spot. There, crying and huddled (挤作一团) together, were five terrified kittens. ‎ ‎ I wanted to find the mother. It was obvious that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all of her babies, one by one — unbelievable.‎ ‎ We finally found her. She was badly burnt. She could barely move. I picked her up, and she relaxed in my arms. Sensing her trust, I shed a tear. I was determined to save this brave little cat and her family.‎ ‎ About a week later, I found out she was going to live. One of the technicians suggested we name her Scarlett, because of her reddened skin.‎ ‎ Knowing what Scarlett endured (忍受) for her kittens, it melted my heart to see her reunited with them. She touched each of them again, nose to nose, to make sure they were all safe. She had risked her life five separate times — and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived.‎ ‎ As a firefighter, I see heroism (英雄事迹) every day. But what Scarlett showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can only come from a mother’s love.‎ ‎4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?‎ A．The author went to rescue the cats as soon as he heard them crying.‎ B．The firefighters put out the big fire quickly and no one was hurt.‎ C．The mother cat moved all of her five babies to a safer place despite the fire.‎ D．The author didn’t find the cats until the smoke and heat were gone.‎ ‎5．Why was the author determined to save the cats?‎ A．He refused to watch someone else die in his work.‎ B．He was impressed by the mother’s strong love and courage.‎ C．The cat’s story had made many people concerned.‎ D．It had taken much time and effort for him to save them.‎ ‎6．Which best describes the author’s tone in the article?‎ A．Objective. B．Admiring. C．Excited. D．Optimistic.‎ C There are hundreds of types of birthday cake in the world. You are likely to enjoy one during at least one of your birthday parties. But have you ever stopped and wondered, “Why am I eating this? What makes this dessert fit to celebrate the day of my birth?”‎ It’s because you are as important and beloved as the gods. ‎ The ancient Egyptians are thought to have “invented” the celebration of birthdays. They believed when pharaohs (法老) were crowned, they became gods, so their coronation (加冕) day was their “birth” as a god.‎ Ancient Greeks borrowed the tradition, but realized that a dessert would make the celebration more meaningful. So they baked moon-shaped cakes to offer up to the goddess of the moon. They decorated them with lighted candles to make the cakes shine like the moon. It is the reason why we light our birthday cakes on fire.‎ Modern birthday parties are said to get their roots from an 18th century German celebration. On the ‎ morning of a child’s birthday, he or she would receive a cake with lighted candles that added up to the kid’s age, plus one. This extra candle was called the “light of life,” representing the hope of another full year lived.‎ And then, torture — because no one could eat the cake until after dinner. The family replaced the candles as they burned out throughout the day. Finally, when the moment came, the birthday child would make a wish, try to blow out all the candles in one breath, and dig in. ‎ Since the ingredients (原料) to make cakes were pretty expensive, this birthday custom didn’t become popular until the Industrial Revolution. More ingredients were available, which made them cheaper, and bakeries even started selling pre-baked cakes.‎ ‎7．What is the passage mainly about?‎ A．The origin of birthday cakes. B．The significance of birthday cakes.‎ C．The history of birthday parties. D．The introduction of cake production.‎ ‎8．Who established the tradition of celebrating birthdays with cakes according to the passage?‎ A．Germans. B．Pharaohs.‎ C．Ancient Greeks. D．Ancient Egyptians.‎ ‎9．The underlined word “torture” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.‎ A．pleasure B．replacement C．sharing D．suffering ‎10．Why was the birthday cake custom unpopular before the Industrial Revolution?‎ A．The transport was inconvenient.‎ B．The ingredients of cakes were expensive.‎ C．The cake could not be eaten before dinner.‎ D．The bakeries would not sell pre-baked cakes.‎ Ⅱ. 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ With time and experience, most adults know that not getting enough sleep can be harmful to us. Too bad, teens don’t see that connection so clearly. It’s up to parents to convey the importance of sleeping enough. 11 ‎ Play up the positives. Sometimes it helps to point out the benefits that come with changing behavior. In this case, not only will quality sleep help teens focus better in school and feel happier overall, it can improve the appearance of their skin. 12 ‎ Lay stress on consistency. A lot of teenagers, and even grownups, think they can spend less time on shuteye during the week if they make up for it on the weekend. Not true. An extra hour or two of sleep on Saturday and Sunday can do us more harm than good. 13 As a result, it is hard to fall asleep at the appropriate time on Sunday evening.‎ Give the hard facts. 14 That’s why it’s so important to explain what it feels like to be too tired to get behind the wheel. Promise your teen that he can always call you to pick him up no matter where he is or what time it is, if he’s too sleepy to drive.‎ ‎ 15 Sleep isn’t as fun as texting with friends and it seems less necessary than cramming for an exam. Help your teen view sleep as a priority (优先事项) by making it one in your own life as well. Set up a family charging station for electronic devices outside of the bedrooms, so phones can be powered up overnight without tempting (引诱) anyone to check messages. Leave your own devices there when you go to bed. Rarely is anything so important that it can’t wait until after a good night’s sleep.‎ A．Lead by example.‎ B．Set aside quality family time.‎ C．These four tips will show you how.‎ D．It disturbs a person's internal body clock.‎ E．It is important for us to realize the importance of a good sleep.‎ F．It's reported that one out of five traffic accidents involves a sleepy driver.‎ G．It also keeps them from getting sick and helps them keep a healthy weight.‎ Ⅲ. 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ Jeremy Locke, 25, has his own roofing company in Bridgeport, Nova Scotia.
