17、onsidered getting a new doga hiking and adventure companion, a nap buddy (午休伙伴), a watchdog: everything Abby used to be for my family and I when I was growing up. The process of adopting a puppy (幼犬) can be long and hard. But thanks to large retailers (零售商) like Petco and their weekend “adoption day

18、s”, I was able to walk away with my puppy after only a $300 payment, a signature and verbal commitment to take care of her to the best of my abilities. I wasnt entirely “prepared” for my puppy when I got her, and I cant say my parents were for sure on board when I adopted her, knowing shed outgrow m

19、y living conditions and need the sizable yard and mountain access only my parents house could provide her with. But I took the leap, supplied her with everything she could possibly need to be happy and develop properly, set up a vet appointment and made a commitment to myself and her to do whatever

20、I had to do to make sure she grew up right. My dad actually jokes now that hes become a grandpa before he thought he would, and I think theres some truth to that Im not the mother of a human being yet, but I can draw some similarities between taking care of a baby and raising a puppy. Koda wakes up

21、several times a night to go to the bathroom, eats her pricey puppy food, has accidents on the carpet and in my bed, cries when Im not around and stops me from concentrating on my homework. Since adopting her, I cant do anything without first considering how my actions and choices will affect my dog.

22、 Puppy parenting isnt easy, and thats part of why its so rewarding. 24. What did the author consider important when thinking about adopting a new dog?A. Getting her parents approval.B. Getting a yellow one once again. C. Getting one like her previous dog. D. Getting one that didnt demand much care.

23、25. What does Paragraph 2 tell us about the authors adopting her dog?A. Its process was long and hard. B. It was easier than she had thought. C. It got some money support on “adoption days”. D. It cost more money than she expected. 26. What problem did the author face after adopting her dog?A. Her l

25、. Terrifying but exciting. CAsian carp (鲤鱼) were introduced to American waters during the 1970s. Southern fish farmers began importing them to help clean their ponds. Asian carp are extraordinary cleaners. Unfortunately, it didnt take too long for them to escape from these ponds, perhaps from floodi

26、ng, and get into the Mississippi River. From there they have followed their natural tendency to swim upstream. This tendency may lead them into the Great Lakes and Canada, which worries fishermen. Asian carp are large fish. One species, the silver carp, can grow to be 100 pounds. But despite their s

27、ize, they feed from the bottom of the food chain. That means that they eat plankton (浮生物) and algae (海藻类). A one-hundred-pound fish can eat an awful lot of sea scum (浮渣), and some of it is toxic (有毒的). The carp are resistant to the toxins, but we arent. Some Asian carp are risky to eat because they

28、have so many algal toxins in their systems. They also have lots of tiny bones in their meat, which makes them difficult to prepare. Introducing the Asian carp into waters that have not known them can cause a lot of damage. Beneath the surface of the water is a unique ecosystem. This system rests on

29、a balance that has developed over millions of years. Then along come these big, hungry bottom feeders to mess up everything. They produce young rapidly and thickly populate the waters. Worse still, they compete with the native bottom feeders. The native bottom feeders are smaller. Larger, tastier fi

30、sh like salmon (鲑鱼) eat them. The native bottom feeders are an important part of the ecosystem. When the Asian carp outperform them, the whole food chain suffers, all the way up to the people. Not only do Asian carp mess up the food chain, they mess up people seriously. Remember that silver carp can

31、 be 100 pounds. There is a reason why they are also known as “flying carp.” This particular species of Asian carp has a tendency to jump when frightened. They can jump up to ten feet in the air when the sound of boat motors frightens them. In 2018 a woman jet skier bumped into one and broke her nose

32、 and back. She almost drowned. Many others have been injured by these flying carp.28. For what purpose were Asian carp brought to America?A. To be sold for money. B. To assist Southern fish farmers in cleaning. C. To prevent other fish from getting out of ponds. D. To make use of their tendency to s

33、wim upstream. 29. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Asian carp are an unpopular menu item. B. Asian carp are a species of the silver carp. C. Asian carp are at the bottom of the food chain. D. Asian carps living environment is threatened. 30. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 r

34、efer to？A. Large salmon.B. People in the area. C. Plankton and algae. D. The native bottom feeders. 31. In what situation do silver carp tend to “fly”？A. When they are hurt by humans. B. When they are lacking in food. C. When they feel scared. D. When they hear pleasing sounds. DMany universities of

35、fer summer courses, so it is not strange to believe that academic and professional growth can only occur on campus. However, making use of summer semesters to have internships (实习期) is more beneficial than having summer courses. The question“When are we actually going to use this in real life？”is un

36、iversally hated by professors. While everyone understands that mastery of the course material is necessary to pass classes, it can be difficult to see the actual application of Runge-Kutta (龙格-库塔法微积分方程) after graduation. By grasping internship opportunities during the summer semesters, college stude

37、nts can begin to use class material in industry settings. It is useful for students to deepen their understanding of past course material and gain a larger option for future classes. It is unrealistic to expect 18- and 19-year-olds to know “what they want to be when they grow up.” Undergraduates oft

38、en collect and get rid of majors that theyre not interested in as they try to determine what they are. Internships can be a powerful tool to help students decide if their current major is truly what they are interested in. By joining the workforce, even for just a few months, students can gain knowl

39、edge from instructors outside of academia and shape their opinions about what their work may be like. This will increase the overall value of their university education and experience. Choosing to take summertime as a break from school is momentous for post-secondary education. The “college experien

40、ce” is about learning, making connections and self-discovery. Students who participate in summer internships master class material through practice, gain invaluable industry experiences and are better able to answer the typical college question, “What do you want to do after graduation?” Summer cour

41、ses, while they move students closer to graduation, cannot provide fresh judgement on coursework or inform career plans. 32. According to Paragraph 2, what does grasping internship opportunities mean?A. Gaining a positive attitude to life. B. Practicing class material in real life. C. Having more ti

42、me for course material. D. Providing professors with valuable questions. 33. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 3?A. Choosing the right major is very important. B. Losing a right internship opportunity means failure. 34. What does the underlined word “momentous” in the last paragraph mea

43、n?A. Risky.B. Adorable.C. Crucial.D. Ridiculous. 35. What is the best title for the text?A. Take advantage of the summer semesterB. Forget summer classes and get an internshipC. Tell summer courses and internships apartD. Get out of the campus in the summer semester第二节根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选
