Here are some pet-friendly universities in the UK and US.
University of Illinois
Students are allowed up to two pets in each apartment, as well as a fish tank of no more than 50 gallons.
To keep a pet, you will need to get approval from the Family & Graduate housing department at the University of Illinois. You will have to provide proof that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations(疫苗), and pay a monthly US$30 pet fee, which is non-refundable(不可退款的).
Your pet can’t be left for extended periods of time, and if there’s evidence that you’ve left it alone due to vacation or illness, the university may remove it.
Harvard University
With as many as 12 pet-friendly apartments, Harvard is a very pet-friendly university. It allows students to have fish in a tank of no more than 50 gallons, except for Harvard’s Cronkhite Graduate Center.
In Harvard’s pet-friendly apartments, you’re allowed: one cat or one dog, which can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown. At most, two pet birds.
University of British Columbia Students can take advantage of the university’s B. A. R. K program, which uses the calming power of therapy dogs to help them.
B. A. R. K started at the University of British Columbia, after an assistant professor called Dr. John-Tyler Binfet noticed that he couldn’t walk across campus without students running over to play with his dog, Frances. The students told him they were homesick and missed their pets, which encouraged Binfet to establish B. A. R. K as a way of fighting their loneliness.
University of Oxford
The University of Oxford is famous for its resident pets, who happily wander around college grounds. Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.
Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.

A. Pet keepers should pay a monthly US$ 30 pet fee which will be returned.

C. Students have to keep fish in a fish tank of no more than 20 gallons.

A. To help students to fight against homesickness.
B. To do research on dogs and train them to be pets.

I know what courage looks like. I saw it on a flight I took six years ago, and only now can I speak of it without tears filling my eyes at the memory.
Our flight left the Orlando Airport one Friday morning. But immediately upon the take-off, it was clear that something was wrong. The aircraft was bumping (颠簸) up and down. All the experienced travellers, including me, looked around with knowing (会意的) smiles. If you fly much, you see these things and learn to act calmly about them. However, we did not remain calm for long.
Minutes after we were in the air, our plane began falling quickly. The pilot soon made a serious announcement. “We are having some difficulties,” he said. “Our indicators show that the control system has failed. We will be returning to the Orlando Airport. The flight attendants will prepare you for a bumpy landing. Also, if you look out of the windows, you will see that we are dumping (倾倒) fuel from the airplane. We want to have as little on board as possible in the event of a rough touchdown.” In other words, we were about to crash. Many travellers looked visibly frightened now. No one faces death without fear, I thought.
Then a couple of rows to my left, I heard a still calm voice, a woman’s voice, speaking in an absolutely normal conversational tone. I had to find the source of this voice. All around, people cried. Many screamed. Finally, I saw her. In this state of complete confusion and lack of order, a mother was talking to her child. The woman, in her mid-30s, was staring full into the face of her daughter, who looked to be four years old. The child listened closely, sensing the importance of her mother’s words. The mother’s eye held the child so fixed that she seemed untouched by the sounds of grief and fear around her.
Finally, I leaned over and could hear this soft sure voice with the tone of comfort. Over and over again, the mother said, “I love you so much. Remember, no matter what happens, I love you always.” Fortunately, our landing gear (起落架) held at last and our touchdown was not a tragedy.
However, the voice I heard that day never faded. That mom showed me what a real hero looks like.
4. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us
A. The crew was getting ready for a take-off.
B. The travellers were taken good care of on the plane.
C. The aircraft was not in normal condition when flying.
D. The passengers were enjoying themselves on the aircraft.
5. Why were they dumping fuel from the airplane
A. To prepare for a landing. B. To have the airplane not bump.
C. To make the airplane to fly faster. D. To make sure the control system worked well.
6. How was the woman after hearing the pilot’s words
A. She looked quite angry. B. She didn’t appear so worried.
C. She felt extremely nervous. D. She sounded rather hopeless.
7. What do we know about the child on the plane after the announcement was made
A. She paid attention to her mother’s words.
B. She screamed and cried with other passengers.
C. She comforted her mother after hearing the emergency.
D. She didn’t seem to be interested in what her mother said.

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 2018 report by scientists, IQs of a group of students were very high when a very strong wind came; but after the strong wind, their IQs were 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low — pressure days. There is “good weather” for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today It may be the problem of weather.

The story of a 92-year-old book lover in a village of Chongqing has touched many recently. Sun Shiquan has collected more than 7,000 books over the decades and has offered a free local library for residents for years.
He was born in Pipa village in Xiuqi township of Chongqing’s Chengkou county. Being a bookworm as a child, he read all kinds of ancient books including the Four Books and the Five Classics. In the 1950s, he became one of only a handful of local college graduates and later served as a primary and middle school teacher in the county.
Sun said he started to collect books in 1983 and gradually built a diverse collection over more than 40 years. Among his holdings is a precious set known as the Complete Works of Chinese Classics, published during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It is one of only seven copies in the country.
Wearing glasses and using a magnifying glass, Sun reads for more than three hours every day. Now he has finished reading most of his collection.
Speaking of her father, Sun Ziyu said, “My father has a habit of making notes on each book. He makes a mark whenever he stops reading so that he can carry on reading from where he left off.” Village official Liu Jiao said, “Many children in the village love to visit Sun and listen to his stories.” She said the elderly man has earned respect from the whole village. People call him “Teacher Sun” and children call him “great-grandfather”.
Sun Ziyu said her father also writes poems and prose in his spare time and enjoys reading his works to the family. She said under her father’s influence, family members take the time to read together and exchange views. That’s their favorite part. “My father has loved reading for a lifetime,” Sun Ziyu said. “Reading is his meat and drink.”

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了重庆的一位92岁的爱读书的孙仕权收集了7000多本书，为当地人提供了一个免费的图书馆。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Among his holdings is a precious set known as the Complete Works of Chinese Classics, published during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It is one of only seven copies in the country.(他的藏品中有一套珍贵的《中国古典全集》，出版于明朝（1368-1644）和清朝（1644-1911）。这是我国仅有的七本之一。)”可知，《中国古典名著全集》是非常珍贵的，应该是他的宝贝。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Wearing glasses and using a magnifying glass, Sun reads for more than three hours every day. Now he has finished reading most of his collection.(戴着眼镜，用 ，孙每天阅读三个多小时。现在他已经读完了他的大部分藏书。)”可知，由上文“Wearing glasses”和下文“reads for more than three hours every day”推断，这应该是看书的工具，所以猜测 a magnifying glass是“放大镜”，magnifying表“放大”的意思。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第五段“My father has a habit of making notes on each book. (我父亲有在每本书上做笔记的习惯。)”可知，孙仕权喜欢读书作笔记。故选A项。
15题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“The story of a 92-year-old book lover in a village of Chongqing has touched many recently. Sun Shiquan has collected more than 7,000 books over the decades and has offered a free local library for residents for years.(重庆一个92岁的老书友的故事最近感动了很多人。几十年来，孙仕权收集了7000多本书，多年来一直为当地居民提供免费图书馆。)”以及下文可知，本文讲述了重庆的一位92岁的爱读书的孙仕权收集了7000多本书，为当地人提供了一个免费的图书馆。所以B项Chongqing man, 92, gives gift of literature(重庆92岁男子赠送文学礼物)符合语境。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

When you are at the event, don’t worry about whether or not other people you are talking with like you. Instead, try your best to find reasons to like them. When you are holding a conversation with people, be sure to keep good eye contact, and make your facial expression soft. ____19____ Let your face and body relax so that you can make natural gestures.
After the event is over, take a bit of time to think of your social performance and the conversation you had with people. ____20____ For example, perhaps you made a big effort to really listen to the people you were talking with, or you may have asked-several people some good questions that really got them talking.

【答案】16. A 17. G 18. F 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种能帮助你在社交场合增加自信心的方法以及活动前、活动中应该做的事情。
【16题详解】
上文“do you feel confident that you will impress others (你有信心给别人留下深刻印象吗 )”作者对在社交场合中，读者会产生的心理状况提出问题，下文“In any case(无论如何)”可知，作者提出的问题不止一个，而且有可能问题的内容在一定程度上会有矛盾，表示相反相对。A项“或者你会害羞吗？”符合文意，且“害羞”和“有信心”在一定意义上为矛盾关系。故选A项。
【17题详解】
上文“Whenever you are meeting new people at any social event, you should wear proper clothes.(无论何时你在任何社交活动中遇到新朋友，你都应该穿合适的衣服。)”提示本段内容与穿着有关；下文“If everyone else is wearing business clothes, you should, too.(如果其他人都穿商务装，你也应该这样。)”教会读者借鉴其他人的穿着。G项“在你参加活动之前，试着弄清楚其他人会怎么穿。”包含“穿着”和“其他人”两个关键词。故选G项。
【18题详解】
上文“If you are going to meet people from a certain business or profession, try looking through a few professional magazines or checking on the Internet ahead of time to get some conversation ideas that are related to their fields of interest.(如果你要和来自某个行业或专业的人见面，试着提前看一些专业杂志或上网查询，以获得一些与他们感兴趣的领域相关的谈话想法。)”作者告诉读者可以提前了解一些话题，以便加入到对话当中。F项“这可以防止你在活动中结结巴巴。”符合文意，总结上文，即了解了话题就不会结巴。故选F项。
【19题详解】
上文“When you are holding a conversation with people, be sure to keep good eye contact, and make your facial expression soft.(当你和别人交谈时，一定要保持良好的眼神交流，面部表情要柔和。)”提到面部表情，下文“Let your face and body relax so that you can make natural gestures.(让你的脸和身体放松，这样你就能做出自然的手势。)”提到肢体动作，所以这一段主要讲的是非语言交际。B项“点头表示你在倾听。”中的“点头”为肢体动作。故选B项。
【20题详解】
下文“For example, perhaps you made a big effort to really listen to the people you were talking with, or you may have asked-several people some good questions that really got them talking.(例如，也许你花了很大的努力去真正倾听与你交谈的人，或者你可能问了一些很好的问题，使他们真正交谈起来。)”为作者为了证明自己的观点而举的例子，所以空处需要填总结性的观点句。结合文意可知，例子讲述的是“你”在社交活动上与人交谈的过程中所作出的努力及反思，所以D项“确切地告诉自己在活动中哪点做的最好。”符合文意，为反思总结。故选D项。

Mom, who was an ____41____ (optimism) woman, wanted me to attend a famous nursing school, and ____42____ did Dad. But I wanted to go to a small writing college. Every night for two weeks, my mother and I argued, shouted and gave silent treatments (沉默以待) until both sides went to bed with regrets. Neither of us ____43____ (be) willing to agree with each other.
Since my junior year of high school, I had aimed at being a nurse. While ____44____ (take) all the science courses, I was also working as a volunteer in my town's local hospital. My motivation was to help the sick and be a superwoman to the world.
Yet, as graduation and college neared, it all changed. Having the sick ____45____ (treat) was noble, but not what I was meant to do for the rest of my life. The career was not so enjoyable.
But writing was what I had been doing as a hobby and I would concentrate ____46____ it. I ____47____ (firm) believed that it was going to be my career. I could be absorbed in it. On August 1st, no sooner had Mom and I sat down at the dinner table than I told her that she had every right to choose where to spend her money, just like I had every right to decide where I wanted to go to school.
____48____ (persuade) to let me attend a small writing college in the end, my mother decided to support me, which meant the world to me. My mother said to me, "Would you like to be a writer ” I answered, "Yes, I would like to." In the end, I won my mother's real ____49____ (approve).

44. taking 45. treated
46. on 47. firmly
48. Persuaded##Having been persuaded
49. approval
50. had
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一开始遵循父母的建议当护士，随后找到自己真正的热爱，弃医从文并说服了父母。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：妈妈是一个乐观的女人，她希望我去上一所著名的护士学校，爸爸也是这样想的。名词woman前用形容词修饰。故填optimistic。
【42题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：妈妈是一个乐观的女人，她希望我去上一所著名的护士学校，爸爸也是这样想的。分析句意可知，这里指爸爸和妈妈是同样的想法，so+助动词+主语，表示前面所说的情况也适合另一个人/物。故填so。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：我们俩谁也不愿意意见一致。陈述过去事情，用一般过去时。neither of+复数名词或代词，谓语动词用单数形式。故填was。
【44题详解】
考查省略。句意：在学习所有科学课程的同时，我还在镇上的医院做志愿者。while引导时间状语从句时，如果从句的主语和主句的主语相同，那么从句的主语和谓语动词be都可以省略，表示某个动作正在进行的同时，另一个动作也在进行之中。故填taking。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：让病人接受治疗是高尚的，但不是我余生要做的事。固定短语have sb done让某人被怎样。故填treated。
【46题详解】
考查介词。句意：但写作是我一直以来的爱好，我将全身心地投入其中。固定短语concentrate on集中精力于。故填on。
【47题详解】
考查副词。句意：我坚信这将成为我的事业。动词believed前用副词修饰。故填firmly。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：母亲最终被说服让我去上一所小型的写作学院，她决定支持我，这对我来说意味着一切。逻辑主语my mother与动词persuade是被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语。或者强调发生在主句谓语动作之前，且与逻辑主语my mother之间是被动关系，所以也可用现在分词的完成被动式。故填Persuaded/Having been persuaded。
【49题详解】
考查名词。句意：最后，我赢得了妈妈真正的认可。形容词real后修饰名词。故填approval。
【50题详解】
考查时态。句意：在那之前，我从未在任何重大决定上反对过父母。根据时间状语Before that time及句意可知，这里用过去完成时。分析句子结构可知，本句是never开头的倒装，原本是I had never stood up against。故填had。

This morning, I went to school by bicycle as usual. As I am listening to my favourite music with a headphone on my head, I didn’t notice a car parked on the roadside. I struck the car who owner was not in it and left a scar on it. Damaging to some degree, the car would have to be repaired. Thinking that I would have classes, and I left a note with my name and address to let a driver know what had happened.
Later in the afternoon, while they were having a class meeting, our headmaster brought a stranger to our class. He was the car owner. He explained the class the whole story and praised me. Both my teacher and classmate were impressed and pride of my honesty. I think honesty should be value most by us.
【答案】1.am→was
2.who→whose
3.Damaging→Damaged
4.删除and
5.let后a→the
6.they→we
7. explained后添加to
8.classmate→classmates
9.pride→proud
10.value→valued
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在上学路上不小心刮到一辆车，由于马上要上课，所以留了便条给车主。车主来到学校，因作者的诚实表扬了作者。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：当我戴着耳机听着我最喜欢的音乐时，我没有注意到路边停着一辆车。根据上文This morning可知此处为过去进行时，故am改为was。
2.考查定语从句。句意：我撞了一辆车主不在里面的车，在上面留下了一道伤疤。定语从句修饰先行词car，在从句作owner的定语，应用whose引导。故who改为whose。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意：这辆汽车损坏到一定程度，必须修理。分析句子结构可知damage与car构成被动关系，故用过去分词作状语。故Damaging改为Damaged。
4.考查句子结构。句意：考虑到我还要上课，我留了一张便条，上面写着我的名字和地址，让司机知道发生了什么事。此处Thinking that I would have classes为现在分词作状语，不存在并列关系，故删除and。
5.考查冠词。句意：考虑到我还要上课，我留了一张便条，上面写着我的名字和地址，让司机知道发生了什么事。此处特指被作者损坏的车的司机，应用定冠词the。故let后a改为the。
6.考查代词。句意：下午晚些时候，当我们正在开班会的时候，校长带了一个陌生人到我们班来。此处指作者“我们”正在开班会的，应用代词we。故they改为we。
7.考查固定短语。句意：他向全班解释了整个故事并表扬了我。表示“向……解释”短语为explain to。故explained后添加to。
8.考查。句意：我的老师和同学都对我的诚实印象深刻，并为我感到骄傲。classmate为可数名词，此处前文没有冠词，说明数量大于一应用复数形式。故classmate改为classmates。
9.考查形容词。句意：我的老师和同学都对我的诚实印象深刻，并为我感到骄傲。表示“为某人骄傲”短语为be proud of。故pride改为proud。
10.考查语态。句意：我认为诚实应该是我们最重视的。此处value与honesty构成被动关系，故value改为valued。

Here are some pet-friendly universities in the UK and US.
University of Illinois
Students are allowed up to two pets in each apartment, as well as a fish tank of no more than 50 gallons.
To keep a pet, you will need to get approval from the Family & Graduate housing department at the University of Illinois. You will have to provide proof that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations(疫苗), and pay a monthly US$30 pet fee, which is non-refundable(不可退款的).
Your pet can’t be left for extended periods of time, and if there’s evidence that you’ve left it alone due to vacation or illness, the university may remove it.
Harvard University
With as many as 12 pet-friendly apartments, Harvard is a very pet-friendly university. It allows students to have fish in a tank of no more than 50 gallons, except for Harvard’s Cronkhite Graduate Center.
In Harvard’s pet-friendly apartments, you’re allowed: one cat or one dog, which can’t be over 40 pounds when fully grown. At most, two pet birds.
University of British Columbia Students can take advantage of the university’s B. A. R. K program, which uses the calming power of therapy dogs to help them.
B. A. R. K started at the University of British Columbia, after an assistant professor called Dr. John-Tyler Binfet noticed that he couldn’t walk across campus without students running over to play with his dog, Frances. The students told him they were homesick and missed their pets, which encouraged Binfet to establish B. A. R. K as a way of fighting their loneliness.
University of Oxford
The University of Oxford is famous for its resident pets, who happily wander around college grounds. Many Oxford colleges have their own tortoise and take part in the annual Corpus Christi tortoise race.
Although you are not allowed to keep your own pet as a student, several Oxford colleges hold dog petting and walking therapy sessions.

I know what courage looks like. I saw it on a flight I took six years ago and only now can I speak of it without tears filling my eyes at the memory.
Our flight left the Orlando Airport one Friday morning. But immediately upon the take-off, it was clear that something was wrong. The aircraft was bumping (颠簸) up and down. All the experienced travellers, including me, looked around with knowing (会意的) smiles. If you fly much, you see these things and learn to act calmly about them. However, we did not remain calm for long.
Minutes after we were in the air, our plane began falling quickly. The pilot soon made a serious announcement. “We are having some difficulties,” he said. “Our indicators show that the control system has failed. We will be returning to the Orlando Airport. The flight attendants will prepare you for a bumpy landing. Also, if you look out of the windows, you will see that we are dumping (倾倒) fuel from the airplane. We want to have as little on board as possible in the event of a rough touchdown.” In other words, we were about to crash. Many travellers looked visibly frightened now. No one faces death without fear, I thought.
Then a couple of rows to my left, I heard a still calm voice, a woman’s voice, speaking in an absolutely normal conversational tone. I had to find the source of this voice. All around, people cried. Many screamed. Finally, I saw her. In this state of complete confusion and lack of order, a mother was talking to her child. The woman, in her mid-30s, was staring full into the face of her daughter, who looked to be four years old. The child listened closely, sensing the importance of her mother’s words. The mother’s eye held the child so fixed that she seemed untouched by the sounds of grief and fear around her.
Finally, I leaned over and could hear this soft sure voice with the tone of comfort. Over and over again, the mother said, “I love you so much. Remember, no matter what happens, I love you always.” Fortunately, our landing gear (起落架) held at last and our touchdown was not a tragedy.
However, the voice I heard that day never faded. That mom showed me what a real hero looks like.
4. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us
A. The crew was getting ready for a take-off.
B. The travellers were taken good care of on the plane.
C. The aircraft was not in normal condition when flying.
D. The passengers were enjoying themselves on the aircraft.
5. Why were they dumping fuel from the airplane
A. To prepare for a landing. B. To have the airplane not bump.
C. To make the airplane to fly faster. D. To make sure the control system worked well.
6. How was the woman after hearing the pilot’s words
A. She looked quite angry. B. She didn’t appear so worried.
C. She felt extremely nervous. D. She sounded rather hopeless.
7. What do we know about the child on the plane after the announcement was made
A. She paid attention to her mother’s words.
B. She screamed and cried with other passengers.
C. She comforted her mother after hearing the emergency.

Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence and feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 2018 report by scientists, IQs of a group of students were very high when a very strong wind came; but after the strong wind, their IQs were 10% below. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure (气压) may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low — pressure days. There is “good weather” for work and health. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today It may be the problem of weather.
