The kennels owners are known animal rescuers and I figured someone outside dumped him over the fence.Im an animal lover and Ive brought home dogs, cats, horses, chickens and fish

9、, but never goats. The tiny kid was too adorable to resist. I named him Quincy, and with the help of some experienced friends, bottle-fed him in my bathroom. Quincy proved to be quite special. When he was about a week old, I tapped my fingers on the bathroom floor and said, “Lie down.” I was amazed

10、when he dropped down. I was even more amazed when he did it three times in a row.A quick study, Quincy learned to lie down, bow, and turn in a circle in no time. He is house-trained, jumps in the back of my SUV when I say “load up,” and spends the day wandering with my dogs, whom he considers his br

11、others and sisters. He knows the name of everything I feed him apples, water, carrots, and strawberries.I love to train animals and often take my dogs to shows where they can perform their tricks. Quincy did his first show when he was just six weeks old. He knew only a few tricks then, but he did th

12、em perfectly and never misbehaved or got nervous in front of the crowd.Now he has a whole inventory: Hell shake hooves (蹄), come when called, walk on a rope, wave, smile for the camera, and more. Quincy and my dogs perform regularly at schools, nursing homes, and charity events. Quincy can even “rea

13、d” his tricks off cue cards (提示板), which always earns the most applause.Its hard to believe that the goat kid nobody wanted turned out to be one of the smartest and most good-natured animals Ive ever had.4What can we learn about the baby goat from Paragraph 1?AHe was injured.BHe was sold.CHe was des

16、e think? What if there is something other than our own hunger that influences what we eat? Look through social media sites and you will see picture after picture of perfectly presented and extremely delicious-looking meals. While the smell and taste of food can have a powerful effect on our appetite

17、, are endless posts of steaming snacks and inviting dishes more than just a feast for our eyes?Certainly, it appears were hugely influenced by other peopleespecially those closest to uswhen it comes to what we eat. Our eating habits are also influenced by what we see. “There is some evidence that if

18、 you see pictures of food, that visual stimulation can make you feel a desire to eat, ” says a UK scientist.But social media is one place where social and visual aspects meet. There is evidence that if friends in your social network post regularly about particular types of food, it could lead you to

19、 copy them. If all your friends on social media are posting pictures of themselves consuming fast food, its going to cause you to form a false belief that eating fast food is what all people do.Research suggests photos of fast food are more likely to make us feel good. Humans tend to, naturally, see

20、k out high-calorie foodan ability that helped our ancestors survive when they hunted for food. In comparison, healthier foods are often seen as boring. Scientists are becoming increasingly concerned about food-related content on social media which is making us thinking differently about food. Social

24、at the University of Maryland Medical Center for a surgical procedure never performed before on a human. The 57-year-old Maryland resident had been hospitalized for months due to a life threatening disease. His heart was failing him and he needed a new one.Bennetts condition left him unresponsive to

25、 treatment and ineligible (不合格) for the transplant list or an artificial heart pump. The physician-scientists at the center, however, had another-also risky- option: transplant (移植) a heart from a genetically-modified pig.“It was either die or do this transplant,” Bennett had told surgeons a day bef

26、ore the operation. “I want to live. I know its a shot in the dark, but its also my last choice.”It took the medical team eight hours to finish the operation, making Bennett the first human to successfully receive a pigs heart. “Its working and it looks normal.

28、organ. They are still monitoring his condition closely.“I think its extremely exciting,” says Robert Montgomery, transplant surgeon and director of the NYU Langone Transplant Institute, who was not involved in Bennetts operation. The result of the procedure was also personally meaningful for Montgom

29、ery, who received a heart transplant in 2018 due to a genetic disease that may also affect members of his family in the future. “Its still in the early days, but still the heart seems to be functioning. And that in and of itself is an extraordinary thing. Up to now most experimental heart transplant

44、gram. It takes $170,000 annually to run the center. Hoops and Homework has encouraged people from different parts of the community to volunteer during the after-school sessions because they can tell the children “someday you may be doing that job, we love to have role models come in.”The program goe

45、s beyond helping children.

Although this works for a short term in high temperature, its not ideal over a longer period because it mea

52、ns less time to search for food or a new mate.As Magle and his network of urban researchers look toward the future and climate change, they predict bigger shifts. Temperatures everywhere are projected to warm, so wildlife in urban settings and beyond will likely have to shift their normal regions a

Instead of trying to fix it, theyre going to tear it down.Arecibo has provided observations for discoveries within the solar s

58、ystem and well beyond. It is considered one of the best spots for studying potentially dangerous asteroids(小行星) near Earth. Over the years, Arecibo has faced danger and damage, but it has always endured. In its lifetime, it has experienced earthquakes and storms, including the hurricane that spoilt

59、Puerto Rico in 2017, which damaged some of the dish. The trouble began in August. A metal support cable weighing thousands of pounds slipped out of its socket（插口）and dropped sharply into the cavernous, 1,000-foot-wide radio dish in the middle of the night. The cable, installed in the 1990s, was cons

60、idered fairly new for an observatory that began operations in 1963, and the incident confused Arecibos officials.

76、uter.”Shes probably thinking of Ada Lovelace, who was born in England on December 10,1815. Lovelace was Lord Byrons child, and her mother, Lady Byron, did not want her to turn out to be like her father, a romantic poet.

77、 poetry in math. At 17, she met Charles Babbage, who showed her his plans for the Analytical Engine that he believed would be able to do complex mathematical calculations. He asked her to write about his work for a scientific journal. In the article, Lovelace expressed a vision for the machine that

78、went beyond calculations.“A computer could do anything. Letters of the alphabet, musical notes and even the positions on a chess board could be represented by numbers,” wrote Lovelace. She even gave an example on how to load an instruction into the machine.Babbages machine was never built. But his d

83、ises (江豚) were seen in the river of Wuhan, Hubei Province. Their appearance was said to be a result of less interference (干涉) from human activities or an increase food availability.“Rising water levels during the flood season and the fishing ban may both contribute to this rare animals appearance. W

84、ithout interference from human activities, the finless porpoises might be more active,” said Zhang Xianfeng, an aquatic (水生的) wildlife researcher.The finless porpoise is widely believed to be an important health indicator of the Yangtze River. Over the past 40 years, its population has declined dram

85、atically due to many factors, such as climate change and habitat loss. In 2013, it was classified as “critically endangered” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. However, the population has shown some stability in recent years thanks to joint protection from government organs, rese

86、arch institutes and other social organizations.Zhang believes its a good thing that the public has become more aware of the urgency of saving the finless porpoise and protecting the ecosystem of the Yangtze River. However, the appearance of the finless porpoises cannot necessarily be seen as a sign

87、that the population is increasing. Its total population, around 1,000, is very limited, which makes the chances for them to have babies very slim in such a long river as the Yangtze River.To preserve biodiversity along the Yangtze River, China imposed a 10-year fishing ban in 332 conservation areas,

88、 protecting not only the finless porpoise but also more than 4,300 kinds of aquatic life living in the Yangtze River. The fishing ban, which is crucial to ecological restoration of the whole river, will significantly expand the finless porpoises food supply and remove the threat from fishing tools.

89、However, the effect will be known only after three to five years.8What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?AThe effect of the 10-year fishing ban.BThe living conditions of finless porpoises.CThe necessity of limiting human activities.DThe reasons for finless porpoises appearance.9What has directly affected

90、the birth rate of finless porpoise?AThe limited population.BThe human interference.CThe lack of public awareness.DThe length of the Yangtze River.10What do we know about the 10-year fishing ban?AIt was put into effect in Hubei Province.BIt aims to protect a variety of aquatic life.CIt increased the

91、number of finless porpoises soon.DIt forbids human activities along the Yangtze River.11What is the purpose of the text?ATo show the effect of a 10-year fishing ban.BTo introduce the features of finless porpoises.CTo record the appearance of finless porpoises.DTo advocate the protection of the Yangt

92、ze River.Several days ago Spanish fashion brand Zara sparked a fierce debate after releasing its latest campaign featuring a Chinese model with freckles (雀斑). Actually, there are some different beauty standards between the East and the West.In East Asia, freckles might be considered a “destructive w

93、eakness” for celebrities, especially actors or singers. Although normal people dont care that much, subconsciously they might prefer a “clean” face. Generally speaking, freckles are more likely to appear if people are out in the sun frequently, and most East Asian women avoid the sun as best they ca

94、n.Having freckles, instead, is a trademark for unconventional beauty in the Western world, and some call freckles “angel kisses”. For most westerners, having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with; instead, it is something to be desired. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to

95、 have freckles.When it comes to eye shapes, it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards dont see eye-to-eye. Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful. If their eyes have a double-fold eyelid, that is considered perfect. However, most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls wit

96、h slanted (斜的) and narrow eyes and eyebrows. Chinese known model Lyv Yan is often considered the countrys most beautiful by foreigners, while quite a few Chinese people think her appearance doesnt fit with traditional beauty standards.Young, girly feature or hot and mature feature? Zhao Liying from

97、China, Aragaki Yui from Japan and Lim Yoon-A from South Korea enjoy high popularity in Asia, as they boast bright faces with warm smiles, which win them lots of male fans. The three young celebrities represent Asias beauty standards: women with cute, girly features. Most women in Asia try their best

98、 to stay young accordingly. Unlike Chinese girls, Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness. The superhero Wonder Woman is an ideal type for most.As ties continue to grow between China and the West, it is unavoidable that these beauty standards develop. But one things

99、for sure-no matter how you look, you are who you are, and that should be satisfaction enough.12What do most western people think of having freckles?AIt is something unbearable.BIt is a destructive weakness.CIt is something to wish for.DIt is a symbol of traditional beauty.13What do the underlined wo
