Sad Tale for Sale

Hundreds of thousands of puppies (小狗) are born in puppy factories each year. Because the main purpose of the puppy factory is to make money, puppy factory owners fail to spend enough money on the dogs. 1. The animals almost never get exercise or attention. Their cages (笼子) are often dirty, with little protection from sun, wind or cold.

Many puppies born in puppy factories are taken away from their mothers before they are ready. 2.　 The moms left behind are then bred (繁殖) again to produce more puppies.

3. Although the puppies may seem healthy, these problems can show up when they’re fully grown — sometimes even sooner. Some of the puppies die within days or weeks of purchase (购买).

Kind kids and their families can help. 4. Even if a pet store says that they don’t sell dogs from puppy factories, chances are they really do. And don’t trust newspaper or website ads made by people who sell puppies.

If your family is ready for a dog, your best choice is to adopt one from an animal shelter (收容所). Animal shelters have different kinds of dogs just waiting for homes.　　 5.

A. Puppy factories need to stop.

B. In the future, don’t buy puppies from pet stores.

C. To save money, they keep dogs in packed cages.

D. By doing this, you’re in the business of helping pets!

E. There are many puppies killed in puppy factories.

F. Then they are shipped cross-country to be sold in pet shops.

G. Many of the dogs born in puppy factories have serious health problems.

Alpacas(羊驼) are members of the camel family, having lived in South America for thousands of years. Their fur gives the animals a teddy bear_like appearance. Alpacas are too small to be used as animals of burden but are valued only for their fur. Generally, their lifespan is around 15 to 20 years.

Alpacas are social animals that live in family groups made up of a male, females and their young. They are gentle, elegant, curious, intelligent and observant. They are safe and pleasant to be around, moving gracefully and slowly around the field, and are therefore unlikely to run into or over anyone, even small children. Occasionally, an alpaca will spit snd kick, but the soft padded(有爪垫的) feet usually do little more than just“get your attention”.

Because these animals are environmentally friendly and need so little grass and food, you can usually raise from two to eight alpacas on an acre of land with grass or hay. A single, 60 pound bale(大捆) of hay can generally feed a group of about 20 alpacas for one day. Alpacas also require access to plenty of fresh water to drink.

Alpaca fur is used for making knittedd and woven(编织) items, just as sheep’s wool is.These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles(针织品) in South America, and sweaters, socks, coats and bedding in other parts of the world. The fur comes in more than 52 natural colors as classified in Peru, 12 as classified in Australia and 16 as classified in the United States.

1.According to the text, alpacas can be best used_______.

A. for long distance rides

B. to protect home

C. for children to play with

D. to carry heavy goods

2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Alpaca’s kick can’t hurt you.

B. Alpacas want to draw your attention.

C. You must look out for Alpacas’ attack.

D. You should pay more attention to Alpaca

3.If you have 5 acres of land to raise Alpacas, how much hay do you need a day at most?

A. 60 pounds.

B. 120 pounds.

C. 100 pounds.

D. 180 pounds.

4.According to the last paragraph, which of the following is true?

Humans have daydreamed for thousands of years, and yet, these days, spare moments are filled with using our smartphones and other devices—going through social media, listening to podcasts, responding to emails—leaving us little time to let our minds wander.

1. When you’re in a daydreaming state of mind, you can imagine or pretend your own version of events.

“My most creative moments come when my brain is allowed to rest” says Megan King, a designer. But she is addicted to her smart phone. 2. According to Nielsen, Americans spend 10.5 hours a day consuming media. And UK residents are close behind at almost 10 hours a day, according to eMarketer.

3. This may seem a small change, but its effect, on the way our minds work and on our collective creativity could be serious. 4.

Over years of studies, researchers have found that our brain has two separate attention systems — an external one and an internal one. The internal attention system, which is activated(激活）during daydreaming, is called the default network(默认网络).

The default network is particularly active when we are thinking about ourselves, thinking about the past, thinking about the future. 5.

If both systems can’t be active at the same time and we’re spending 10 hours a day in one attention system, it begs the question: what is that doing to our brains — and our ability to come up with creative ideas?

A. Daydreaming is the opposite of our dreams.

B. This extended screen time has made some of us uncomfortable sitting alone with our own thoughts.

C. Daydreaming is how we access our big-picture state of mind.

D. In fact, it could be preventing your ability to come up with fresh, creative ideas.

E. We can’t really have both attention systems active at the same time.

F. People spend too much time on screen suffer from headaches.

G. She's not alone.

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

For millions of years, coral reefs（珊瑚礁）have provided homes and food for thousands of different living things. Fish and sea birds share the reef with other creatures. Now these beautiful places are in danger. 　　 1.　　 Scientists have found that more than one-fourth of the earth’s coral reefs have been ruined so far. Another quarter will disappear in ten years’ time. Unless things change, all of the remaining reefs may die within your lifetime.

Some people think that coral is stone because of its rough（粗糙的）, hard surface. But coral is an animal. Tiny polyps（水螅体）form the coral reefs. 　　 2.　 These colors come from the algae（海藻）living inside the coral. Billions of coral polyps stick together. New ones grow on the dead ones. This happens year after year. Over time, the coral builds up a reef. The reef rises from the ocean floor until it almost reaches the sea’s surface. It takes coral 500,000 years to build a huge reef. 　 3.

The coral reefs have been harmed mainly in three ways. The first factor is pollution on land. The pollutants run with rainwater into streams and rivers, which carry the poisons into the ocean. 4.　　 So they will be easily infected with diseases. Another cause is people. People have broken off pieces of coral, which they want to sell or keep as souvenirs. People have dropped sticks of dynamite（炸药）into the water to catch more fish. The worst problem is the heating up of the oceans. Higher ocean temperatures kill the important food source for the coral—the algae, the tiny greenish-gold water plants that live on coral. 　 5.　 The coral turns white and dies. Scientists call this coral bleaching（珊瑚白化）. The bleached part of the coral reef cannot recover.

A. They come in many different colors.

B. However, humans have taken less than 100 years to destroy it.

C. This has blown up parts of the reefs.

D. When the algae die, the coral loses both its food and its color.

E. So are all the sea plants and animals that depend on them.

F. Chemicals from the poisons kill reefs or make them weak.

G. Many of them might not even last that long!
