阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
On Friday June 21st，2013，the folks at the annual Sonoma County Fair in California celebrated the 25th anniversary of a rather unusual contest—one that crowns the “World's Ugliest Dog”！ And while in most settings a title like this would be considered insulting (无礼的) here，it is liked by both the dog owners who come from all over the world and the visitors that come to cheer the contestants.To mark this special anniversary，this year's fair that was themed “Dog Days of Summer” featured among other things，including an exhibit featuring the contestants and winners from the last 25 years.As for the winner? Unlike last year，when he had flown in all the way from London，England，this year's title winner was Chico，California resident Walle，who beat out 29 other equally “ugly contestants”. The refreshing part was that Walle，who happened to be a last minute entrant(参赛者)，is not a nearly hairless，Chinese Crested Chihuahua or a mix of both breeds，which have been dominating the contest for many years now. Instead，he is a mutt mix—part beagle，part basset and part boxer.The four－year－old impressed the judges with his giant head and humped back. As one of them put it，he looked as though he had been photoshopped with pieces from various dogs and maybe a few other animals. It exactly represents the kind of natural “ugliness” they were looking for!Along with the title，the first time entrant received a cash prize of $1，500 as well as scheduled appearances on NBC's weekend Today on Sunday，the Today Show on Monday and the Jimmy Kimmel Show on Wednesday.Though the competition may seem unbelievable to some people，it is held just for fun and organized by an animal psychiatrist who not only vets the dogs before they enter the competition to ensure they are healthy，but also has a “pet” talk with them to ensure they are also happy. It is also important to remember all the contestants come from homes where they are loved because of their rather unusual looks. After all，beauty is in the eye of the beholder!【解题导语】在6月21日举行的世界上最丑的狗的比赛上，一条三个品种的杂交狗赢得了“世界上最丑的狗”这个头衔。

高考题型·组合规范练12选择性必修第二册UNIT2阅读题组——练速度(35 mins)Ⅰ.阅读ASharks are amazing creatures.They are known as the deadliest hunters in the sea.Fortunately most are not,but there are some kinds of sharks that can be extremely dangerous.Look at these short descriptions of four kinds of sharks.The Great White SharkThe Great White Shark is one of the most frightening creatures in the sea.They live in tropical and subtropical waters,and they can grow up to 9 meters long.Most Great White Sharks are actually grey,blue or brown with a white belly,and their powerful teeth are triangles with edges like saws.The Whale SharkWhale Sharks are the largest kind of shark in the world up to 11 meters in length.They live in tropical waters all around the world,but they are not dangerous.Whale Sharks are brown or grey with white or yellow stripes.They often travel near the surface of the sea.The Mako SharkMako Sharks are fierce predators.They come from the same family of sharks as the Great White Shark and they are especially fast—they can swim at speeds of up to 65 kilometers per hour.They are large bluish sharks found in the Atlantic Ocean,Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean.Mako Sharks can grow up to 3 meters long.The Great Hammerhead SharkThe Great Hammerhead Shark’s most striking feature is its wide thick head which looks like a hammer.The average size of a Great Hammerhead Shark is approximately 3.5 meters,but it can grow up to 6 meters long.These sharks average over 500 pounds but can weigh as much as 1,000 pounds.Like most sharks the females are larger than the males.They have several rows of teeth that have 24 to 37 teeth per row.The Great Hammerhead Shark has a very keen sense of smell,which helps it find its prey.1.What can we learn from the text?A.Sharks usually live in icy waters.B.Mako Sharks are fast but not dangerous.C.The Great White Shark has 24 to 37 sharp teeth.D.Whale Sharks are bigger than other sharks in the sea.2.Why is a shark called the Great Hammerhead Shark?A.Because of the size of its body.B.Because of the waters it lives in.C.Because of the shape of its head.D.Because of the function of its teeth.3.From which is the text probably taken?A.A news report.B.A book review.C.An advertisement.D.A biology magazine.BA struggling Waffle House employee who was trying to serve nearly 30 people by himself after midnight got a full serving of kindness when some customers jumped behind the counter to help him.Ethan Crispo,24,witnessed the inspiring scene in the early hours of Nov.3 at a Waffle House in Birmingham,Alabama.Crispo told TODAY’s Kerry Sanders that he had come to the 24-hour restaurant from a friend’s birthday party and saw the struggling employee,identified only as Ben,trying to cook the food,serve it,bus tables and wash dishes while more than 25 people were waiting to eat.“The look on his face was just confusion,” Crispo told Sanders.An unidentified male customer then decided to help him out,grabbing an apron and going behind the counter to wash dishes.Another customer,Alison Stanley,went behind the counter to make some coffee—still dressed from a night out on the town.“I don’t think it’s anything special,” Stanley told Sanders.“He needed help,so I got up and helped out.”Crispo took some photos of the scene as multiple customers worked to bus tables and wash dishes while Ben focused on taking orders and preparing the food.Waffle House told TODAY that Ben was left to support himself due to a scheduling issue.“We had two associates scheduled to leave,however,due to a communication mix-up,their relief did not show up on time,” Waffle House director of PR Pat Warner said in a statement.“That left Ben,our cook,alone in the restaurant with hungry customers.He worked the grill (烤架) and got the orders out.”The company was also thankful for the customers who joined in and helped Ben out.“We are grateful that many of our customers feel like they are part of our Waffle House family,”Warner said.“There is a sense of community in each and every one of our restaurants,and we appreciate the fact that they consider our associates like family.”“We are also very thankful for Ben,who kept the restaurant open.He is a representative of our Waffle House culture by always putting the customers first.”Crispo had his usual order,double plain waffle,as he took in the scene of strangers helping out Ben on his shift.“Humanity truly isn’t good,it’s great!” he said.4.Ben was left to work alone during his midnight shift because .A.his associates asked for a leaveB.there was a scheduling mistakeC.few customers needed to be servedD.the restaurant was scheduled to close5.Some customers helped Ben out by .A.washing dishesB.taking photosC.taking ordersD.cooking food6.Why did the customers lend a helping hand according to Pat Warner?A.They shared the same community spirit.B.They were family members of Ben.C.They wanted to serve themselves.D.They were too hungry to wait.7.How did Crispo feel as a witness of the scene?A.Lucky and excited.B.Moved and inspired.C.Relieved and hopeful.D.Content and unbelievable.CCan a fish be depressed?This question has been on my head ever since I spent a night in a hotel across from a sad-looking fish.The pleasant woman at the front desk assured me that he was well taken care of.Was I incorrectly assuming his laziness as a sign of being upset?When I sought answers from scientists,I assumed that they would find the question ridiculous,but they did not.New research has been totally shifting the way that scientists think about fish cognition (认知),building a case that pets and owners are not nearly as different as many assume.The neurochemistry (神经化学) is so similar that it’s scary,said Julian Pittman,a professor.We tend to think of them as simple living things,but there is a lot we don’t give fish credit for.Dr.Pittman likes working with fish,in part because they are so obvious about their depression.A zebra fish gets dropped in a new tank.If after five minutes it is hanging out in the lower half,it’s depressed.If it’s swimming up the top,then it’s not.Is depression the right word?There’s an obvious issue that we cannot ask animals how they feel,says Dr.Diego A.Pizzagalli.Neither fish nor rats can catch the entire range of depression as we know it.There is a heated debate about whether “anxious” or “depressed” is a more appropriate term.But what has convinced Dr.Pittman and others over the past ten years,is watching the way the zebra fish lose interest in just about everything:food,toys,exploration,just like clinically depressed people who are withdrawn.The same is true of fish.One of the things we’re finding is that fish are naturally curious and seek novel things out,saidDr.Braithwaite.In other words,your goldfish is probably bored.To help get rid of depression,she urges introducing new objects to the tank or switching the locations of items.8.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Fish are considered simple living things.B.Pets and owners are always assumed to be the same.C.Scientists have learnt a lot about fish cognition.D.Fish and human beings have something in common.9.What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A.Quiet and shy.B.Happy and excited.C.Interested and careful.D.Disappointed and surprised.10.Why can fish become bored according to the text?A.They need oxygen from the air.B.They are not born to be curious.C.They lack new things to explore.D.They can’t locate the positions of items.11.What might be the best title for the text?A.Fish Depression Is Not a JokeB.Fish Can Be a Boring PetC.Fish Need Better Care MoreD.Fish Cognition Does Not ExistDWith the introduction of its new C40 Recharge on Tuesday,Volvo became the latest automaker to bet that consumers who have so far been uninterested to the idea of an EV (Electric Vehicle) might change their minds if it comes in a form of cars they love:the crossover(跨界车).Whether they do may be vital to the success of California’s plan to end sales of gasoline cars by 2035.Volvo joins Ford of Europe and Jaguar in promoting EVs,promising every car it makes and sells by 2030 will be all-electric.In a webcast to introduce the new vehicle,the company also laid out a new sale strategy—the C40 and all electric Volvo cars will be available for purchase only online.A group of electric crossovers have hit the market in recent months,including the Ford Mustang Mach-E,the Tesla Model-Y and the Volkswagen ID.4.Whether customers flock(群集) to crossover EVs will signal to regulators how much or how little work they need to do to meet the plans such as California’s.Despite the state’s aggressive plan,sales of all-electric vehicles remain less than 2% of the U.S.total.“The manufacturers are taking a calculated risk here,”said Matt DeLorenzo of auto market research firm Kelley Blue Book.“Crossovers are popular with the mainstream.That’s where the volume is.”Electric cars sold in the U.S.until recently were short-range ones or high-end luxury cars,neither one a high-volume category.In 2020,2.4 million crossovers were sold in the U.S.“If you can’t sell an electric crossover,then you’ll have trouble selling any kind of vehicle,” DeLorenzo said.To sell in large numbers,the vehicles will in the first place need continued government financial support for the next few years at least,Edmunds market analyst Caldwell said.Although battery costs are coming down,they still cost significantly more than gas engines.Although crossovers will serve as an early indicator of customer acceptance,Caldwell said she wouldn’t call 2021 a make-or-break year for EV makers.12.What does Volvo intend to do with its new C40 Recharge?A.Win more consumers on EVs.B.Help prevent California’s 2035 plan.C.Change the shape of vehicles.D.Put people’s cool ideas into reality.13.Which of the following best describe the current EV market?A.Promising.B.Declining.C.Risky.D.Attractive.14.What do we know about the EVs sold in the U.S.?A.Their sale strategies are special.B.They entered the market recently.C.Their information is available only online.D.They aren’t of a high-volume category.15.What’s vital for the sales of EVs according to Caldwell?A.Improving the service of crossovers.B.Promoting the quality of batteries.C.Getting government’s financial support.D.Making 2021 a make-or-break year.Ⅱ.七选五Are you failing school?Do you have trouble finding and holding on to a job?Are you unhappy at work?Have you been accumulating many personal debts?Are you concerned about your weight? 1 Here are some suggestions.•Stop being self-absorbed and search for a purpose that will add meaning and excitement to your life.•Move to a new neighborhood,a new town.Go to a new school;find a new gym.2•Make new friends.They will appreciate who you are,and help you find your passion,which you mightnot even know you possess.•3 To change yourself,you’ve got to change habits.According to researchers,habits account forabout 40 percent of our behaviors on any given day.When you learn to change your habits,you can change your life.•Change the “Choice Architecture” of your life.Make the desired choice most accessible to you.4If you are good at sports,you may want to live near a sports centre,and so on.If you aren’t happy with your life,change your lifestyle,your personal attitudes,and the circumstances you live in.5A.Develop good habits.B.Show them your personality.C.If so,you had better make some changes.D.In a new place,you can appreciate ways of thinking.E.In a word,you must find your element by taking action.F.Don’t constantly blame others for failing to get ahead in life.G.If you are a good dancer,you want to live near a theatre

C'harlie Burrell inherited （继承）a piece of land in West Sussex, England, which is 3.500 acres. It had been in his family for more than 200 years. As it was a failing farm, he and his wife. Isabella Tree, were all set to run a traditional farm, but soon realized the costs far outweighed the profits. The land wasn't suitable for growing crops anymore.So. in 2001, the couple decided to try something else — an experiment in “rewilding”，or restoring environments to their natural state. They reintroduced native species, including Tamworth pigs, Exmoor ponies, longhorn cattle, and deer. Then they took out all the fences and let the animals wander freely.In the following years, the land went through an incredible change. The once neat fields were covered with bushes, creating habitats where new plant and animal species could grow.Now it's home to many different creatures, including two rare species of bats, nightingales, peregrine falcons, white storks, and even turtle doves, whose numbers have dropped by 98 percent in the U. K. over the last few decades!“We were living in a biological desert. Now, ecologists are blown away all the time by just the amount of life here," Isabella said. "It shows the potential that this kind of project has for changing trends of biodiversity decline.What's more, the land is now profitable! Charlie and Isabella offer multiple services there, including walking tours, safaris, photography classes, and rewilding workshops. They also sell meat to control their large animal populations, and even allow visitors to spend a night outside in the tents they set up.What a promising outcome!

A Throughout my childhood,I constantly dreamed of being an only child— having no one around to fight with,to share with,to grab the remote control away from me in the middle of a “big game”. But I have an elder sister,whom I have always called “Kicki,” instead of her real name Christie,because I used to have trouble pronouncing the “r” and “s”. I started playing basketball in primary school.My dad was the coach of my team,and my mom kept scoring.So my sister,not old enough to stay home alone,was forced to come to all my games.I remember looking toward the stands for my mother’s approval and seeing my sister’s face,confused.It was obvious that she wasn’t excited,but she cheered along with the crowd anyway.

US researchers have found traces of an ancient lake on Mars recently，increasing hopes of discovering evidence that billions of years ago the Red planet hosted life.The lake，which dates back some 3.4 billion years，appears to have covered as much as 80 square miles and was up to 1,500 feet deep，said the team from the University of Colorado.“This is the first clear evidence of shorelines on the surface of Mars，”said Boulder' s research associate，Gaetano Di Achille，in a study published in the latest edition of Geophysical Rese arch Letters.“The i dentification of the shorelines and accompanying geological evidence allows us to calculate the size and volume of the lake，which appears to have formed about 3.4 billion years ago.”Analysis of the images has shown the water carved out the canyon(溪谷)in which it was found，which then opened out into a valley depositing(使淤积)sediment(沉积)which formed a delta(三角洲)．“Finding sho relines is a great discovery to us，”said assistant professor Brian Hynek，adding it showed the lake existed at a time when Mars was thought to have been cold and dry.Scientists believe the oldest surfaces on Mars formed during the wet and warm era known as the Noachan epoch，about 4.1 billion to 3.7 billion years ago.The newly discovered lake is believed to date from the Hesperian era and postdates the end of the warm and wet period on Mars by 300 million years，according to the study.Scientists believe deltas next to the lake may well hold secrets about past life on Mars as such places on Earth have become the natural deposits of organic carbon and other markers of life.1.
