一、阅读理解

Squirrels aren’t natural city dwellers (居民).In 1856 the sight of one in a tree near New York’s city hall so surprised passers-by that a newspaper published a report about the “unusual visitor”.

Around that time,the tree-dwelling animals were being set free in America’s urban areas to “create pockets of peace and calm like the countryside,” says University of Pennsylvania historian Etienne Benson,who studied our relationship to squirrels over the course of five years.

First they were introduced to Philadelphia,then to New Haven,Boston,and New York City.Park visitors were encouraged to feed them,and security guards ensured their safety.In the 1910s a leader of the Boy Scouts of America (an organization teaching boys practical skills) said that teaching children to feed squirrels could show the rewards of treating a weaker creature with sympathy,says Benson.

By the early 20th century,though,America began to regret the friendliness it had shown

squirrels.Cities had once been filled with animals — from horses pulling goods to dairy cows.By the 1950s those working animals had been moved to the countryside.Pets and wild animals such as birds and squirrels were all that remained of the urban animal kingdom.

Before long,people’s enthusiasm for squirrels wore off,and they started to see them as annoyances (讨厌的东西).By the 1970s many parks banned feeding the creatures.Today,it is rare to find kids with their parents offering food to squirrels under a tree.And,unfortunately,with more and more buildings being constructed in the city,fewer inhabitable areas are left for the little tree-dwelling animals.

What would be lost if the last of these city dwellers were forced to leave? “I think there’s something constructive to have other living creatures in the city that are not humans and not pets but share the land with us,” says Benson.“It’s a good thing to live in a landscape where you see other creatures going around making lunch.It’s good for the soul.” 1.Why were squirrels introduced to Philadelphia? A.To entertain park visitors. B.To keep the natural balance. C.To encourage kids to protect animals. D.To make the urban life more peaceful.

2.What was the Boy Scout leader’s attitude towards feeding squirrels? A.Disagreeable. C.Supportive.

B.Doubtful. D.Uncaring.

3.What might have happened to squirrels in cities around the 1960s? A.They might have inhabited more homes. B.They might have begun to go out of favor. C.They might have been introduced to more cities.

D.They might have been moved to the countryside. 4.What does Benson suggest in the last paragraph? A.Squirrels living in cities are annoying. B.Feeding squirrels should be discouraged. C.Squirrels should be allowed to live in cities. D.It is possible for people to keep squirrels as pets.

I loved to read when I was younger.But later the lack of choice 1 led me to read less and less.When I was in secondary school,the 2 books I read were ones we were assigned in English class,and I was never very 3 about my teacher’s choices.I thought too much discussion of symbolism (象征意义) and themes 4 the book.Maybe the sky being blue didn’t 5

三、读后续写

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

It was somewhere between spring and summer,my mom and I were driving through the

countryside.Back then,I was 13 years old,and always felt unhappy with Mom.But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one. A pot of flowers sat in the back seat,whose heavenly scent filled the car. Suddenly,in the middle of nowhere,my mom pulled over.“What are you doing?”I cried,fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there,so far from home.But that wasn’t the case.My mom hopped out of the car,grabbing the flowers from the back seat.“It’ll just be a minute,”she called back through the open windows.

My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home.I looked back to the building,somewhat annoyed,as my mom reappeared—empty-handed.

Before she started the car,curiosity drove me to ask,“Do you know someone there?”She shook her head.“Then what did you do with the flowers?”She smiled slightly,“I gave them to the

receptionist.”“What?”She laughed at my confusion.“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them,especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while.”

I kept silent for a moment.Not long after we continued our driving,I spoke again,“Did you leave your name?”To this she answered instantly,“No.Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good,which is enough of a thank-you for me.”

Suddenly,still thinking about Mom’s deeds,I heard something burst loudly.It was our car that broke down!Nothing could be worse,because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it,and we didn’t

know where the garage was.It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by,since we had seen so few along the way.

Paragraph 1:

We were worrying about what could be done.

Paragraph 2:

As we drove along,a flower shop came into sight on the road.
