    Compassion and love are concepts that are often thought to be felt by humans only. As the most intelligent creatures to ever walk the earth, we tend to assume that we are the only ones who can feel emotions. We forget that the speechless beings who live here with us - animals - also have the same capability.

During a cold night in Ontario, Canada, a passer-by spotted something on the side of the road that made her stop -a shaking dog curled up in the snow.

When she approached the pup, she discovered that she wasn’t alone-she was cuddling five orphaned black kittens to keep them warm.

The dog surely could have found a safer place to stay for the night, but she chose instead to help not just herself but other stray animals as well.

The Good Samaritan called Pet and Wildlife Rescue and an animal control officer picked them up. When they got to the shelter, it was apparent that a close bond had already been formed between the dog and the orphaned kittens. The staff decided to name the kind dog Serenity in honor of her selfless act.

“It’s truly heartwarming!” a shelter spokesperson told The Dodo. “It had been a very cold night so these kittens would have had a very hard time surviving.”

Aside from requiring treatment for worm and flea infections, the orphaned kittens are now safe. Just like a proud and doting mother, Serenity insisted on checking on her babies regularly to oversee their progress.

The good news is that the kittens are now living with a foster family who will care for them until they are old enough to be adopted. Serenity, on the other hand, is still looking for a family.

According to the shelter, she loves zooming around in the yard and is big on playing. She is also quite jumpy, so she would do best in a home without small children.

1.What did the passer-by see on the road?

A.A dog curled up in the snow.

B.Five kittens were in the snow alone.

C.A dog was warming five kittens in the snow.

D.A dog found a safe place to stay for the night.

2.What does the underlined word “she” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A.The passer-by. B.The dog.

C.The kitten. D.The spokesperson.

3.Where is the dog Serenity now?

A.Living in the shelter. B.Being adopted by a family.

C.Staying with the kittens. D.Playing with some children.

4.What can we draw from the story?

A.Animals and humans should live in harmony.

B.A sad end can be turned into a positive one.

C.Animals have the same capability with humans.

D.Animals can feel compassion and love like humans.

 

1.C 2.B 3.A 4.D 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了在加拿大安大略省的一个寒冷的夜晚,路人在路上看到了一只狗在雪地里给五只小猫取暖的故事。这只狗本来可以找到一个更安全的地方过夜,但她选择不仅帮助自己,也帮助其他流浪动物。让人感悟到动物可以和人一样感受到同情和爱。 1.细节理解题。根据第三段When she approached the pup, she discovered that she wasn’t alone-she was cuddling five orphaned black kittens to keep them warm.可知当她走近这只小狗时,她发现自己并不孤单——她依偎着五只失去父母的黑猫宝宝给它们取暖。由此可知,路人在路上看到了一只狗在雪地里给五只小猫取暖。故选C。 2.词义猜测题。根据后文was cuddling five orphaned black kittens to keep them warm.可知路人走近这只小狗时,她发现自己并不孤单——她(狗)依偎着五只失去父母的黑猫宝宝给它们取暖。由此可知,she此处指的是给小猫取暖的狗。故选B。 3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Serenity, on the other hand, is still looking for a family.可知另一方面,Serenity仍在寻找一个家庭。由此可知,小狗Serenity现在住在收容所里。故选A。 4.推理判断题。根据文章第一段Compassion and love are concepts that are often thought to be felt by humans only. As the most intelligent creatures to ever walk the earth, we tend to assume that we are the only ones who can feel emotions. We forget that the speechless beings who live here with us - animals - also have the same capability.可知同情和爱通常被认为是只有人类才能感受到的概念。作为地球上有史以来最聪明的生物,我们往往认为自己是唯一能感知情感的人。我们忘记了与我们生活在一起的无语的生灵——动物——也有同样的能力。结合文章主要讲述了小狗Serenity被路人发现给五只失去父母的黑猫宝宝取暖的故事,由此可推知,我们能从这个故事中了解到动物可以像人类一样感受到同情和爱。故选D。

    Vijay Gupta is known to classical music lovers across the United States. He serves as first violinist for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In that job, he often plays to large crowds, including many very rich people. When he is not performing, he organizes concerts for homeless people. 'They have reminded me why I became a musician, he said.

Last week, Gupta was recognized for being a founder and the artistic director of Street Symphony. The group has performed at homeless shelters, jails and halfway houses for about eight years. Gupta is among the 25 winners of the 2018 MacArthur Fellowship, commonly known as the “genius grant.” Each winner will receive $625,000 over five years to use as they wish. The money is coming from a private group, the John D. and Katherine T. MacArthur Foundation. It awards grants (补助金)to people whose work it considers exceptional and that “inspires hope in us all.” Gupta said he got the idea for Street Symphony while teaching Nathaniel Ayers, a trained musician whose mental illness led to homelessness.

The 31-year-old grant winner said he does not know yet how he will spend the money. He has been a performer since age seven and the award will give him "space to breathe, plan and look ahead.”

Another winner is Rebecca Sandefur, an associate professor of sociology and law in the University of Illinois. The Associated Press says her research actively supports new ways to involve poor communities in the U.S. justice system.

47-year-old Sandefur created the first national mapping of civil legal aid providers. It shows which states had the financial resources to provide such aid and which did not. She also found that the cost of legal services is only one of the things preventing poor people from getting lawyers. Among the others are fears about unfairness in the legal system. Sandefur noted that a lot of attention has been paid to problems with the criminal justice system, but more attention must be paid to the civil side of the law, which also affects millions of people.

1.Why did Gupta win the award?

A.For his achievements in classical music.

B.For performing for large crowds.

C.For organizing a group playing for the homeless.

D.For the friendship with Nathaniel Ayers.

2.What do we know about Mac Arthur Fellowship?

A.It is founded by the government.

B.It offers $625,000 to 25 winners in 2018.

C.It allows the winners to use the money freely.

D.It awards people who make great contributions to society.

3.What was the extraordinary thing that Sandefiir did?

A.She made it easier to get legal help for the poor.

B.She made the legal system fairer.

C.She paid more attention to the criminal justice system.

D.She offered legal aids to the poor freely.

4.Which can be the best title for the passage?

A.Grants winners, inspiring the poor

B.The city homeless, in need of help

C.Vijay Gupta , an extraordinary violinist

D.MacArthur Foundation, awarding exceptional work

It was raining hardly outside, which made it difficult for me to go home for lunch. Just as I was wondering what I should eat at noon, I saw a familiar figure passed by our classroom. I rushed out and found it was my mother, already in fifties, which brought me lunch in spite of the heavy rain. In China, many parents make great sacrifices for our children. But what had the children done in return? All too often, most children just take it for granted that their parent should serve for them unconditionally.
