2. 根据短文理解，选择正确答案。

Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhood. When I was a boy of 12, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put

any wild creature in a cage.

We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. It’s the most beautiful sound in the world.

I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.

I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.

I had left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day, my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.

The following morning when I went to see how my pet bird was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.

Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”

Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.

（1）Why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12?

A . He had just got a new cage.

B . He liked its beautiful feather.

C . He wanted a pet for a companion.

D . He wanted it to sing for him.

（2）The mockingbird died because it ______.

A . ate the poisonous food its mother gave it

B . was frightened to death

C . refused to eat anything

D . drank the poisonous water by mistake （3）An ornithologist probably means ______.

A . a religious person

B . a kind person

C . an expert in birds

D . a headmaster

（4）What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident?

A . Freedom is very valuable to all creatures.

B . All birds put in a cage won’t live long.

C . You should keep the birds from their mother.

D . Be careful about food you give to baby birds.

3. 根据短文理解，选择正确答案。

You get on an almost-empty bus, but the next passenger decides to ignore all the empty seats to sit right next to you. While you are waiting in line at the supermarket, the next customer stands just behind you shouting into his phone.

These are attacks of the personal space invaders. Though preferences for personal space differ from culture to culture, we Britons do love our independence and personal space.

As the British customs website Debrett has said, as a British person, somebody standing too close may make you “focus less on what somebody is

saying than on how close they are to you”. Simple acts like putting an arm around someone you don’t know that well may seem friendly in China, but they can make us very uncomfortable. The https://www.wendangku.net/doc/1b18196042.html, website explains: “The British are not back slappers or touchers and generally do not show affection in public.”

Being a British person around people from other countries can therefore be full of problems. People from many European countries such as France and Spain kiss each other on the cheek when they meet, yet to us this seems too friendly and “touchy-feely”.

Simple matters like how close others stand can be problems to Britons who want to keep their own personal space. Giving advice on how to behave around a British person, Debrett’s says that “if you can feel the warmth of their worried breath upon your face, then you’re standing too close”.

So, are British people unfriendly? No. The https://www.wendangku.net/doc/1b18196042.html, website explains that we are not as “indifferent” as we may seem, but “very friendly and helpful to foreigners”. However, we do have different ideas about our own space to many people from other countries. Just let us know if you’re going to come any closer than arm’s length, and you’ll be fine!

（1）What is the article mainly about?

A . How to make friends with British people.

B . Some tips on British table manners.

C . Ways in which British people show affection.

D . British people’s preference for personal space.

（2）If you were meeting a British person for the first time, it would be

polite of you to ______, according to the article.

A . kiss him/her on the cheek

B . put an arm around him/her

C . keep an arm’s length away from him/her

D . slap his/her back or shake his/her hands （3）The underlined word “indifferent” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_____”.

A . cold

B . modest

C . gentlemanlike

D . independent

（4）What can we conclude from the article?

A . British people like to sit next to others on empty buses.

B . British people are helpful, although they may not appear to be.

C . British people do not like staying with other Europeans.

D . British people are happy to show affection in public.

4. 根据短文理解，选择正确答案。

Part of the fun of watching sports events is following an exciting rivalry .

But where do all these rivalries come from?

Some rivalries start because athletes spend a lot of time close to opponents .

Other rivalries get personal. Things that one rival says that are thought to be not respectful to the other can cause a rivalry, even if the words are misunderstood. And sometimes, rivalries grow just because the athletes don’t like each other’s personalities.

Some sports may also be more likely than others to cause rivalries. “Some sports only meet a few times, so there is less chance fo r rivalries to build,” For example, in sports where athletes perform on their own, such as

diving, rivalries might also take longer to appear than in sports in which athletes compete at the same time. But in tennis, players often face each other, and rivalries are more likely to happen.

So do the rivalries do good or harm to the athletes?

Some believe that rivalries can be a good thing because they encourage athletes to try harder to win. But rivalries can also become too personal, taking athletes’ attent ion away from their sports.

Keegan agreed that rivalries often do athletes more harm than good. “They can be a huge distraction and lead to focusing on the opponent more than the game,” he said.

“Top athletes often have physical and mental training that they follow in order to worry less and prepare to compete”, Gould further explained. An important part of that preparation is preventing from distractions, including rivalries.

“The better athletes don’t care too much about a rivalry – they try to treat every competition the same,” Gould told LiveScience.

（1）According to the article, which of the following sports is least likely to cause a rivalry?

A . Tennis.

B . Swimming.

C . Diving.

D . Soccer.

（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

A . Rivalries between athletes may result from misunderstandings.

B . The more often you meet your opponent, the more you dislike him or her.

C . Rivalries mainly come from a dislike for each other’s personalities.

D .

Audiences easily get bored if there are few rivalries in a competition.

（3）Why does Keegan think rivalries could do more harm than good to athletes?

A . Rivalries could result in physical and mental suffering.

B . Rivalries could cause athletes to worry needlessly.

C . Rivalries could drive athletes to train too hard.

D . Rivalries could distract athletes from their sports.

（4）In Gould’s eyes, top athletes ______.

A . care little about their competition

B . focus more on the game than on their opponents

C . treat every competition as daily training

D . take every possible opportunity to become stronger
