“I had no intention to adopt a cat that ...

    “I had no intention to adopt a cat that day. I just liked being around animals. ” Miranda says. But when she saw Nala in her metal cage, “We made eye contact and I couldn’t resist (抗拒) her big blue eyes.” At that point, “Nala was so small. I asked the shelter if I could hold her. Once I had Nala in my arms, Nala looked up at me and licked () my face.” And that was when she knew she had to take this kitty home.

Still, Miranda never imagined Nala would become an Insta-star. “I started Nala’s Instagram account in 2012 as a way to share photos with my close friends and family in Thailand,” she explained. The possibility of Nala gaining attention beyond that small group of people hadn’t occurred to her until it happened.

Miranda says, “Each time Nala’s photo was featured on Instagram’s popular page, her account would gain 1,000 new followers. ” From there, Nala’s popularity snowballed. Large nationwide brands messaged Miranda about hiring Nala to do ads. “This took us by surprise because we couldn’t believe that a big brand wanted to pay them to take photos with their products next to Nala”.

Nala started life out in a shelter, just waiting to be loved like many other animals that were abandoned. Today that dream has surely come true. Nala has over 4 million followers on Instagram, which earned her the title “Guinness World Records Most Popular Cat on Instagram.”

In addition to managing her Insta fame, Nala is being asked to test various cat food brands. More importantly, “Nala is our chance to share the love to help create a better life for other animals, so they can grow well and bring joy to the world like Nala has.”

1.What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A.Visits to a shelter. B.Love at first sight.

C.Power of blue eyes. D.Duty to adopt cats.

2.Why did Miranda open Nala’s Instagram account?

A.To meet Nala’s needs. B.To assist Nala be a star.

C.To share Nala’s pictures. D.To attract public attention.

4.What does the underlined phrase “that dream” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Being eager to be loved.

B.Starting life in the shelter.

C.Gaining chances to earn money.

D.Being raised by Instagram fans.

 

1.B 2.C 3.B 4.A 【解析】 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一位喜爱小动物的女士Miranda收养的一只小猫娜娜,为了和朋友分享小猫的照片为其开通的网络账号,却意外的使这只小猫成为“网红”的事件。 1.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段内容:“I had no intention to adopt a cat that day. I just liked being around animals.” Miranda says. But when she saw Nala in her metal cage, “We made eye contact and I couldn’t resist her big blue eyes.”At that point, “Nala was so small. I asked the shelter if I could hold her. Once I had Nala in my arms, Nala looked up at me and licked (舔) my face.” And that was when she knew she had to take this kitty home.(“那天我没打算收养一只猫。我只是喜欢和动物在一起。”米兰达说。但当她看到娜娜在她的金属笼子里时,“我们进行了眼神交流,我无法抗拒她蓝色的大眼睛。那时,“娜娜很小。”我问收容所能不能收留她。有一次我把娜娜抱在怀里,娜娜抬头看着我,舔我的脸。就在那时,她知道她必须把这只小猫带回家。)可知,本段主要讲述了作者第一次见到小猫娜娜的时的情景,第一次的眼神交流使作者喜欢上这只小猫并带回家收养。选项B. Love at first sight.(一见钟情。)概括了这段讲述,贴合本段主题。故选B项。 2.细节理解题。根据文章第二段第2句内容:“I started Nala’s Instagram account in 2012 as a way to share photos with my close friends and family in Thailand,” she explained.(她解释说:“2012年,我开通了娜娜的Instagram账号,与泰国的亲朋好友分享照片。”)可知,给娜娜开通网络账号是为了在泰国的好友分享它的照片。故选C项。 3.细节理解题。根据文章第二段第1句内容:Still, Miranda never imagined Nala would become an Insta-star.(尽管如此,米兰达从没想过娜娜会成为一个明星。)以及第三段第4句内容:“This took us by surprise because we couldn’t believe that a big brand wanted to pay them to take photos with their products next to Nala”.(“这让我们感到意外,因为我们无法相信一个大品牌愿意花钱请他们在娜娜旁边拍照。”)可知,对于娜娜如此受欢迎,米兰达是很吃惊的。故选B项。 4.词义猜测题。根据划线短语“that dream”所在句子,可知“that dream”应指代前一句提及的内容:Nala started life out in a shelter, just waiting to be loved like many other animals that were abandoned.(娜娜是在一家动物收容所开始她的生活的,就像许多其他被遗弃的动物一样,她只是等待着被爱。)中的“waiting to be loved”。故选A项。

    Caves (洞穴) have a primary appeal — they hold the secrets to our past and are mysterious in and of themselves.

● Mammoth Cave

Kentucky, USA

The longest cave system in the world lies beneath the Green River Valley in Kentucky and while over 400 miles of passageways have been mapped, it has yet to be fully discovered. The complex limestone labyrinth (石灰岩迷宫) was discovered by humans 4,000 years ago.

● Blue Grotto

Capri, Italy

Once used as the personal swimming hole for the Roman Emperor Tiberius, this extremely bright sea cave is almost 200 feet long and 82 feet wide. Its unique glow comes from the light entering the small opening to the outside.

● Avshalom Cave Nature Reserve

Beit Shemesh, Israel

Also known as the Soreq Cave Nature Reserve, Avshalom is considered to be the Rosetta Stone of climate history in the Eastern Mediterranean through the packed stalactites (钟乳石) found in the cave, some of which are over 13 feet long, and are as old as 300,000 years.

● Cave of the Crystals

Naica, Mexico

This unique cave system in Mexico contains some of the largest natural crystals (水晶) ever found—the longest of which is 39 feet long and 13 feet thick. However, it is rarely explored due to logistical difficulties: it is extremely hot due to its location above a volcanic vent, and the huge crystals block also block the passage.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

When I was seven years old, I went into my parent’s bedroom and saw my mother sitting at her sewing machine making doll clothes. When I asked her who the doll clothes were for, she told me that they were for the poor people, so I never gave it another thought. On the Christmas morning when I opened my present, there were those beautiful doll clothes. I said to her, “I thought the doll clothes were for the poor people.” My mother just smiled and said, “They are for the poor people. We’re poor.”

When I was nine years old my greatest desire in life was to own a pogo stick(弹簧单高跷). I had recently learned to walk on a pair of sticks my dad had made for me, and I thought that if I had a pogo stick surely I would be proud of my unbelievable skills.

When Christmas season rolled around again, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a pogo stick. My mother told me they were too expensive and that we simply couldn’t afford one. On a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before Christmas, my mom and dad told me we needed to go to Sears to pay our credit bill. While my mother and I were at the counter paying the bill, my dad said, “I’ll be right back. I need to see something in the tool department.” After the bill was taken care of, my mother and I went ahead and got in the truck. Soon my dad came walking out with a long box. I remember wondering at that very moment if it was a pogo stick in that box.

When we arrived back at home, my dad put the box in the barn(谷仓). While my parents were busy with their things, I walked out to the barn and found the box. I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box my bright shiny pogo stick would appear.

No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom. And so Christmas morning was both great and disappointing. I got some nice gifts but I didn’t get the present that I really wanted.
