But little Ella Peggie, who was born without her left arm, will get an extraordinary opportunity to share a life-changing bond with her new beloved pet, three-legged puppy.When her mother, Brooke Hodgson, saw the one-year-old puppy named Snowy, she knew instantly it would be the perfect companion for her one-year-old daughter. “My heart skipped a beat when I saw Snowy online,” Ms. Hodgson said. It took just three days for the puppy, who recently had surgery to remove a leg, to find a new home after she was sent to the animalshelter last week.“I knew she was going to be perfect for Ella — they share the same age so they both have a long life of friendship ahead of them. I just know that Snowy is going to increase her confidence when she is growing up. It’s going to be great for Ella when she realizes she’s different or when she’s having a bad day, she will see the resemblance and know that she' s not alone.”Ms. Hodgson has been touched by the relationship between the pair since the lively puppy became the latest addition to the family. And she be lieves the caring puppy will be by Ella’s side through the highs and lows of her life. Ms. Hodgson said, “Every morning Snowy looks for Ella first before she runs to anyone else. It’s quite a unique link. I’m just thankful that I was able to give her this dog. I just can’t wait for them to get even closer. Not many people are able to do this for their children so we’re very lucky to have Snowy. I can’t even explain how I feel right now.” The young mother said Snowy, who was welcomed into the family just a w eek ago, has been playing a very special part to Ella’s life as well as her three-year-old brother Blake and her father, Stewart Peggie.24.

How to Adopt a Three-legged Puppy DogC. A Three-legged Puppy Dog Found OnlineD. A One-arm Girl and Her Three-legged PuppyCWhen early automobiles first arrived on the scene in the late 19th century, few people could have imagined that they would one day take over the world. In fact, some towns found the noise and exhaust （排气）from these novel “horseless carriages” so off-putting （令人厌恶） that early cars were actually forbidden in some places.In time, of course, restrictions were lifted and the car soon became ubiquitous across the country. But there is still one place in the United States that has yet to change its mind. That is Mackinac Island, where cars have been banned since 1898.Located just offshore of mainland Michigan, in Lake Huron, Mackinac Island and its namesake （同名）city have long been a favorite spot for a relaxing getaway. So, when automobiles first began to arrive, loud noise and terrible smoke made the locals angry. It quickly became apparent to the locals that this new invention was not for them.Naturally, in 1898, the Mackinac village council （议会） decided to forbid the automobile before the monsters had a chance to take over. So what is life like in place where one of the most impactful inventions in history has been banned？Well, it’s quite nice, actually.Although the small island is home to only around 500 people, in the summer, that number swells to 15,000 during tourism season; aside from a couple of emergency vehicles, there’s no car to be seen. Transportation on Mackinac is limited to walking, horse-drawn carriages, and bicycling, a pleasant escape from the car-centric society that exists beyond its borders.“The air is cleaner and injuries are fewer,” writes Jeff Potter, who published an article about Mackinac. “Island citizens are healthier due to the exercise. There’s a cherished egalitarianism （平等）：everyone gets around the same way. They also save a huge amount of money that would normally go to commuting （往来）by cars.’’28. What does the underlined word “ubiquitous” probably mean？A. Present.B. Absent.C. Dangerous.D. Scarce.29. Why were cars banned on Mackinac Island？A. There wasn’t enough space on the island.B. The locals wanted to improve the tourism.C. The locals hated noise and smoke from cars.D. Cars might cost the locals too much money.30. What can we infer from the text？A. T oo many people are living on the island.B. The tourism is developing very well on Mackinac.C. Transportation on Mackinac is limited to walking.D. Cars are allowed to travel on the edge of the island.31. What means of transportation is forbidden for travelers to Mackinac Island？A. On emergency cars.B. In horse-drawn carriages.C. On foot.D. By bike.DIf you want to get something done, you might want to put your mobile phone back in your pocket. Researchers have found that the mere presence of a phone is distracting — even if it is not your own. And the devices are likely to distract you, even if they are not ringing or “pinging” with text messages. People asked to carry out electronic tests of their attention spans （持续时间） were found to perform worse when a mobile phone was present than other people performing in the presence of a paper notepad.Scientists from Hokkaido University in Japan said that their findings show that it is harder to concentrate when one of the electronic devices is present. The effect was most marked on people who are not regular users of phones. In tests on 40 undergraduates, Associate Professor Junichiro Kawahara and a colleague divided the subjects into two groups — one asked to carry out tests in the presence of an Apple iPhone next to a computer monitor, and the others in the presence of a notebook.The test involved asking the participant to search for a particular character among a mess of other characters on the screen. Researchers measured the time it took to find the target. The results of the experiment found that those with the mobile phone took longer to find the character “indicating that participants were automatically distracted by the presence of the phone”. The researchers suggest that people are “drawn to the presence of a mobile phone” although there are individual differences in how one attempts to ignore it. In conclusion, Professor Kawahara said, “The mere presence of a mobile phone was a distraction among infrequent internet users.”Another finding is that listening to one half of a mobile phone conversation also distracts people, and other studies have found that placing a mobile phone in view has a negative impact on the quality of face-to-face communications. Holding a mobile phone makes you less likely to get a fair hearing from others.32. What is the first paragraph mainly about？A. A mobile phone won’t distract people unless it’s ringing.B. A paper notepad can help people record much information.C. T ext messages distract people even if phones are power off.D. People find it hard to concentrate if their phones are present.33. Who will be affected most according to the findings？A. People irregularly using phones.B. People regularly using phones.C. People usually using notepads.D. People always using computers.34. In a face-to-face communication, what is the effect of putting a mobile phone in sight？A. It makes listeners feel much awkward.B. It causes other people to lose respect for you.C. It reduces people’s attention to listening to others.D. It makes the air of the conversation more pleasant.35. What can we infer from the text？A. People perform worse with a mobile phone at hand.B. Mobile phones do a lot of damage to people’s health.C. People working with mobile phones will do very well.D. Phones should be banned in all schools and universities.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。
