Initially, the fence around the property was old and had several large gaps, so I strengthened the bottom with chicken wire and thought all was well. McKenzie would spend his days frolicking (嬉戏) in the large yard while Connie and I were at work and Sophie was at school. One day, while on a job in the area, I stopped home to visit. As I pulled up to the driveway, I saw McKenzie outside of the fence playing in the daisies, dancing and nosing at a large butterfly hovering just out of his reach. I watched McKenzie enjoying himself until, suddenly, he realized he wasn’t alone. He took one look at me and fled to a hole under the fence, wriggling (扭动) back into the yard. He ran around to the back of the house, the place where he was usually asleep when we came home. As I stood and watched, McKenzie then proceeded to come around the corner of the house, stretching as if he had just woken up. Then, continuing his act, he looked at me as if he had just noticed I was home and excitedly came up to the fence, where he sat in his “proud boy” stance (姿态), as if he had been good all day and was glad to see me! I laughed as I opened the gate, and then I stood and gave him a frown. With my hands on my hips, I asked the little faker where the hole was. To my surprise, he lowered his ears and dejectedly walked over to the spot in the fence he had earlier wriggled through and sat down, looking at me. I laughed so hard that I cried. 4. Why did McKenzie run back when he saw the author? A. Because he messed up the house. B. Because he killed a butterfly. C. Because he was afraid to be scolded. D. Because he was tired of playing alone. 5. What does the underlined word mean in the second paragraph? A. Disappointedly. B. Passionately. C. Delightedly. D. Indifferently. 6. What kind of tone is adopted by the writer in this short story? A. Critical. B. Ironic. C. Lighthearted. D. Sympathetic. 7. What would be the best title of the passage? A. An Unforgettable Experience B. McKenzie, a Fantastic Actor C. A Lesson from a Clever Dog D. McKenzie, a Loving Family Member C New Zealand plans to bar foreigners from purchasing existing homes. The ban is expected to become law this year. It aims to slow the rising housing prices and protect New Zealanders interested in buying a home. The Labour Party government believes that foreign investors have pushed many possible first-time home buyers and families out of the housing market. Last year, median housing prices across the country rose by 5.8 percent, to over $405,000. Housing prices rose even more in New Zealand’s capital city, Wellington. Price there rose by more than 18 percent over a 12-month period that ended in June 2019. The rising prices have pushed home ownership outside the reach of many possible buyers. One home owner told VOA he feels sorry for the younger generation. “I just believe the market has made it impossible for them to get into the housing.” Just 25 years ago, three out of every four New Zealanders lived in their own homes. Now the rate is 64 percent — and falling. The plan to prevent foreigners from buying existing homes has yet to be approved. But the measure, called the Overseas Investment Amendment Bill, passed its first reading in parliament in December. Restricting foreign ownership of housing has been tried in other countries, including Switzerland. " If foreign investors are looking to put their cash into New Zealand, if it then forces up the price of property, people cannot afford to live anymore,” says Norman Gemmell, chair of public finance at Victoria University. Critics say foreign investors have had only a small effect on the cost of housing. Low interest rates, limited supply and immigration have also driven up house prices. Housing prices continue to make solid gains across the country. And for many New Zealanders, the dream of owning a home is as distant as ever. 8. According to the Labour Party government, which is the main factor of the high housing prices? A. Low interest rates. B. Domestic investors. C. Foreign buyers. D. Immigration. 9. What is TRUE about the housing market condition in New Zealand? A. Housing prices rose by over 18 percent over a year. B. The housing prices of the capital city rose the least. C. The country has witnessed the highest rise of housing prices up to now. D. The rate of New Zealanders living in their own houses is on the decrease. 10. What do we know about the ban against foreigners buying houses? A. It came into effect in December. B. It is supported by people from all walks of life. C. Similar bans have been adopted in some other countries. D. It will definitely make owning a home tougher for New Zealanders. 11. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. New Zealanders’ dream of owning a home in New Zealand is distant. B. A ban on foreign home buyers will take effect in New Zealand. C. The prices of houses have been rising sharply in New Zealand. D. To buy or not to buy a house in New Zealand is a question. D It might have been Jimmy Kimmel, or any other sharp-tongued talk show hosts of late-night TV. In this instance, it was Samantha Bee, stating her opposition to childhood vaccinations humorously. “Who are you going to believe?” she asked. “Leading authorities on medical science, or 800 comments on your cousin’s Facebook page?” Joking about science can have serious effects, according to studies by communication scholars. Accordingly, since 2013, Paul, a psychological professor, has conducted studies of how satire (讥讽) can influence people’s beliefs about science, which have shown that if you want to interest people in science and shape their views on hot-button science issues, satirical humor can work better. Many Americans pay little attention to science. Even people who regularly watch TV news receive only scraps of science information in their media diet, because mainstream media outlets devote so little airtime to the subject. On top of that, some Americans may regard science as inaccessible. Yet satirical humor can reach viewers who would never watch NOVA or read — well, National Geographic. Millions of people watch late-night television programs live, and videos of these shows get millions of views on streaming services. In 2016, a vote conducted by the University of Delaware Center indicated that nearly one in 10 said they learned about science from late-night television shows. Late-night hosts may occasionally poke fun at scientists. More often, however, the hosts promote a positive image of science. By making science entertaining to audience with little knowledge of the topic, late-night television could spark science engagement. Furthermore, the researchers concluded that satirical shows had the biggest impact among the least educated viewers, thus helping to narrow a gap in attention to science. Though late-night satirical humor can boost science interest and awareness, it has its limits. Science is complex, and conveying that complexity in a few minutes while telling jokes can be a challenge. 12. What does Paul’s studies of joking about science indicate? A. It may do serious damage to science. B. It can effectively popularize science. C. It totally changes people’s attitude to science. D. It will shift people’s attention from entertainment to science. 13. Why do TV watchers receive a little science information? A. Because they enjoy watching entertainments. B. Because science is not easy to come up with. C. Because they find no interest in science issues. D. Because science is scarcely seen on mainstream media. 14. What do we know about the late-night shows involving science? A. The hosts get used to playing tricks on scientists. B. The hosts’ aim is to build a positive image of science. C. Education gap can be bridged through late-night shows. D. Science participation can be promoted among their viewers. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards combining science with satire? A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Positive. D. Negative. 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Although people value intelligence—understanding, reasoning, the ability to learn—they also respect wisdom, or the knowledge and experience that we gain over a lifetime. In some ways, wisdom is like beauty: we value it, we desire it, and we know it when we see it. However, it is nearly impossible to define such a quality. ___16___ 1. Work at being social.

A wise person understands that it is impossible to know everything and that life is capable of taking unexpected turns. ____19____ Admitting that there are times when you could be mistaken will go a long way in solidifying your fame. 4.
