But they don’t necessarily have to. These four apps will help you take care of your best furry friend from dog training to first aid.‎ Pet First Aid Price: $3.99‎ Pet First Aid helps you provide the basic care and attention that your four-legged friend might need in a medical emergency. The application shows owners how to treat illnesses with helpful videos, pictures and articles on subjects like cuts, wound treatment and more. A section called Pet Info lets you enter in information about your pets including when they had their last vaccinations, any medicines they take, or information about any diseases or conditions your animal suffers from.‎ Paw Card Pet Tracker Price: Free Paw Card helps you keep a record of your loved one’s important information. Use it to record your pet’s medical contacts, vaccinations, identity cards, medical conditions and medicines. Additional characteristics include a drawing showing your dog’s weight over time.‎ Dog Park Finder Price: Free Dog Park Finder helps you locate dog-friendly parks and training locations in your area(USA locations only). The app includes information on more than 2,200 off-leash(无需给狗拴链的) areas, user photos and more than 6,500 reviews, so you can have fun with your dog off the leash. ‎ Dog Book Price: Free Dog Book is a social networking application for dogs. Like Facebook, users can share with other people what’s going on in their dog’s life, share photos, and find great animal-friendly places to meet up.‎ ‎1. The app Pet First Aid is different from the other three mainly in .‎ ‎ A. size B. price C. application D. position ‎2. Which one is the best choice if you want to find dog training locations?‎ ‎ A. Dog Park Finder B. Pet First Aid ‎ C. Paw Card Pet Tracker. D. Dog Book ‎3. From the text we can know .‎ ‎ A. Dog Book users can find off-leash areas ‎ B. Dog Park Finder provides worldwide information ‎ C. Paw Card Pet Tracker records your dog’s information ‎ D. Pet First Aid users can find the nearest hospital easily ‎ B My favorite book, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, talks about a formula called “SFF” which stands for “stopping finding faults”. I used to be a critical person and tried to find faults. I guess I somehow inherited(继承) this character from my father. Actually, many good qualities of my father are worth admiring except this.‎ My father is the person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is good enough in the world. His character created a negative atmosphere in my family. I was the same as my father, so I often felt ‎ angry, disappointed, depressed, and lonely in school.‎ After I had read my favorite book, I began to seek “good things” in other people. It has completely changed my life. Now I feel happier, I have more friends, I have more trust in people, and I realize everyone has their own strength! Another important lesson I got from this book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner. Let’s admit that we sometimes complain about our situation. That’s not good. “Believe it or not, people don’t like to listen to negative opinions.”‎ One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener. When I was younger, I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my words so that I could show them how important I was. I was very proud and would show off my achievements in school without considering others’ feeling. I had very few friends and most people considered me as an “arrogant” person. Now, I find it easier to make friends after making some changes!‎ ‎4. Why does the author like the book The Secret?‎ ‎ A. Because he’s found the secret of success from it.‎ ‎ B. Because the book uncovers the secrets of happiness.‎ ‎ C. Because he’s learnt his father’s characters from it.‎ ‎ D. Because it helps him change his attitude towards life.‎ ‎5. What do you know about the author’s father?‎ ‎ A. He makes his son feel angry and disappointed.‎ ‎ B. He likes finding faults with people around him.‎ ‎ C. He seems a critical person but in fact easy-going.‎ ‎ D. He can create a negative atmosphere when necessary.‎ ‎6. The underlined word “arrogant” probably means “______”.‎ ‎ A. self-important B. admirable ‎ C. troublesome D. cold-blooded ‎7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ ‎ A. To persuade readers to be good listeners.‎ ‎ B. To share his painful changing experience.‎ ‎ C. To tell readers the influence of a book on him.‎ ‎ D. To show the result of his father’s negative character.‎ ‎ C A lot of people say maths is not their strong suit. One New Jersey parent wants to help change that. Laura Overdeck grew up with numbers. She always helped measure ingredients when her mother baked, and she learned about angles(角) from her father. She went on to major in astrophysics in college. Overdeck knew she wanted her own children to be good at maths, too.‎ ‎“And when our first child was about two, we just started giving her a maths problem every night,” Overdeck said. The problem was usually a story, involving animals, cars or candies that let the kids count. “Our third child started, at the age of two, yelling that he wanted his own maths problem because he saw his brother and sister doing it. And we thought, “Wow, we have a household where maths is the popular thing at bedtime.” Overdeck said.‎ In February, Overdeck launched Bedtime Maths, an Internet website where she posts daily puzzles for children. Overdeck is particularly keen to hook children on numbers before they go to school. So why introduce little ones to maths so early?‎ Sian Beilock, an expert on performance anxiety, says the more fun and familiar maths is early on, the less likely children feel nervous when they start to learn maths in school. “My lab has shown recently that kids as early as first grade report feeling anxious about doing maths,” Beilock said.‎ ‎“You can hear totally educated adults say, ‘You know I’m just not that good at maths.’or ‘I’m kind of afraid of maths.’And that’s a totally acceptable thing for a well-educated person to say, but you never hear them say, ‘Well, you know, I’m just not that good at reading,’ ”Overdeck said.She wants children and their parents to become fluent in numbers as they are in Harry Potter.‎ ‎8. Overdeck majored in astrophysics because she __________.‎ A. was really fond of mathematics B. hoped to change maths education in the US ‎ C. had an interest in teaching physics ‎ D. would like her children to be good at maths ‎9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 ?‎ ‎ A. Toys can be used to encourage kids in solving maths problems ‎ B. Maths will become more popular in every household.‎ C. Maths is enjoyable in Overdeck’s family.‎ D. The third child is cleverer than his brother and sister.‎ ‎10. Beilock’s attitude towards Overdeck’s idea is __________.‎ ‎ A. agreeable B. puzzled C. anxious D. critical ‎11. The unfavourable(不利的) situation of the US in maths ability is shown by _________.‎ ‎ A. the popularity of Bedroom Maths ‎ B. children’s performance anxiety in school ‎ C. people’s response to maths ‎ D. adults’ great fondness for Harry Potter ‎ ‎ ‎ D According to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.‎ The farm animals, who are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is not known to most people.‎ The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society: Open Science, showed that the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still(静止的) images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.‎ Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the image for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to do so declined(下降) by about 15 percent – the same rate at which a human’s ability to perform the same task declines.‎ ‎“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent, individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”‎ Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human being, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, affect this ability.‎ ‎“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington’s disease, which will develop over a long time and affect cognitive(认知的) abilities. Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change,” Morton said.‎ ‎12.According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep?‎ ‎ A. They have large brains.‎ ‎ B. They can recognize their owners.‎ ‎ C.They can tell animals from humans.‎ ‎ D.They can recognize human faces from photographs.‎ ‎13. How did the researchers train the sheep?‎ ‎ A.By guiding them to follow their handlers.‎ ‎ B.By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.‎ ‎ C.By giving food rewards.‎ ‎ D.By showing photos of famous people.‎ ‎14. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ ‎ A.Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.‎ ‎ B.The new discovery is helpful to the study of cognitive ability changes.‎ ‎ C.The sheep’s face-recognition ability stays the same when shown photos at any angle.‎ ‎ D.The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain.‎ ‎15. What’s the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A.A New Discovery about Sheep. B.How Sheep Recognize Each Other.‎ ‎ C.A Wonderful Scientist. D.The Life of Sheep.‎ ‎ 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How Laughing at Yourself Makes You Attractive Have you ever embarrassed yourself in public and got laughed at for it？ 16 And it's okay — we should even have a laugh about them.‎ ‎●Laughing at yourself means accepting who you really are. You may feel bad about yourself because of past misfortune. However, it's normal to be imperfect. What’s important is that you should be honest with yourself about who you are. 17 You won’t be able to laugh at yourself without self-acceptance.‎ ‎●Laughing at yourself helps increase your confidence.
