A
These days, North Kickapoo Street in Shawnee, Oklahoma, is a four-lane road leading out to the interstate. But in the mid-1950s, it was just a gravel country road, the perfect place for our daddies to teach us how to drive.
We didn’t have driver’s ed ucation at Shawnee High School. We were on our own. Mom took me to pick up an instruction manual（手册）. I was the oldest of my friends, so we were excited at the prospect of a whole new world opening up. We’d have freedom to get around.
Mom let me back our 1949 Ford out of the garage a few times to get used to the clutch（离合器踏板）and gearshift（变速排挡）. I got familiar with the motion but was hardly ready for my road test.
Finally, the day came for Daddy to give me a real lesson. He drove out to the end of the paved section of Kickapoo Street and across to where the gravel started. My daddy had come from a family of 10, and they had been farmers in Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl（干旱尘暴区）. There was only one way to do things, and that was the right way.
Compliments wer e rare, so when he muttered his approval it was special. I didn’t want to experience his glare if I ground the clutch.
I took a deep breath, slowly let out the clutch, pushed the stick into second gear, eased down the road, and then carefully moved into third gear. He had me stop and repeat the procedure two or three more times until I came to the end of the section. I was feeling pretty good as I came to a stop and looked to Daddy for approval.
He glared at me and then barked, ―You’ve been driving, haven’t you?‖
He must have thought I’d been practicing in somebody else’s car. I quickly explained that my training was all on the up and up（诚实的）.
That was 60 years ago. I can still see the nod he gave me when he said, ―Well, you did good.‖
21．How did the writer learn to drive?
A. He learned it in high school.
B. He learned it from his friends.
C. He learned it by himself.
D. His father taught him regularly.
22. Which of the following best describes Daddy’s attitude to the writer?
A. Patient.
B. Strict.
C. Tolerant.
D. Negative.
23. What can be inferred about the writer’s road test?
A. It made him embarrassed.
B. It made Daddy disappointed.
C. It was a great failure.
D. It went beyond Daddy’s expectation.
B
The death of Henry Vincent, a career criminal who died in a fight with a south-east London pensioner （退休老人）whose house he was trying to burgle, has unleashed violent public passions and arguments. Legally, the matter may be a simple one. Ever since the case of Tony Martin, the Norfolk farmer who shot in the back and killed a young thief in his isolated farmhouse in 1999, and served three years in prison for manslaughter（过失杀人罪）after an outcry against his initial conviction for murder, the law has been successively rebalanced in the interests of homeowners and against intruders.
Householders are now entitled to fight back –and even to deploy ―disproportionate force‖ –in self-defence if they are attacked in their own homes. Richard Osborn-Brooks, the 78-year-old pensioner involved in the fight, has been met by a wave of public sympathy, while the dead man, his family and associates, have all been the subjects of scorn and abuse from the papers. Any gang which preys on old people, as they did, deserves public obloquy (辱骂)as well as prison sentences. It’s difficult to imagine a crime that spreads more fear and distrust than stealing from pensioners. The instincts of the public in this case are entirely on the side of justice. But they are not the same thing as justice.
The rush of public sympathy and understanding for Mr. Osborn-Brooks is not at all hard to appreciate. But the rush of vicarious rage which has also greeted the story is a reminder of what the law and the criminal justice system stand for. Its measured deliberations ensure a balanced approach and protect us from our own most violent instincts. Vincent may well have deserved another long prison sentence, an exceptionally grim punishment in the present state of prisons. His death was, in a sense, a foreseeable consequence of his wicked and profoundly antisocial behaviour. Nonetheless, he did not deserve to die, as his family has pointed out, and had he stood trial for breaking i nto an old couple’s house he would not have been sentenced to death.
This case should remind us that it is the law and its enforcement which exist to keep old and vulnerable people safe, not unofficial or vigilante violence.
24. Why does the writer mention the case of Tony Martin ?
A. It is exactly the same as the case of Henry Vincent.
B. It’s the turning point of emphasizing legal rights of homeowners.
C. It has set an example for Richard Osborn-Brooks.
25. It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that householders _________.
A. can act against law when fighting against thieves
B. go too far when defending themselves
C. stand for justice in such cases.
D. have good reasons to kill the intruders.
26. What does the writer think of the public’s reaction to the case of Vincent?
A. Understandable but irrational.
B. Unbelievable but reasonable.
C. Natural but unforeseeable.
D. Satisfactory but unofficial.
27. What message does the writer want to convey in the passage?
A. Criminals should be severely punished.
B. London is not a safe city.
C. Justice calls for the law rather than violence.
D. Those who hurt old people deserve to be sentenced to death.
C
When a purring cat rubs against you, you can’t help but feel pleased with yourself for being so lovable. But don’t move on from petting that kitty to patting yourself on the back just yet. Happiness isn’t the only thing that makes cats purr.
Sure, you might hear purrs when your pet feels relaxed or friendly, but cats also purr when they’re hungry, stressed, or in pain. ―All behavior depends on history, context and expectation,‖ Tony Buffington, a cat expert, told Wired. ―So it’s naive to think that cats can only purr for one reason—it’s like thinking that peop le can only laugh for one reason.‖ Cats’ purrs are open to interpretation.
Mother cats purr to lead their kittens—which are blind and deaf when they’re born—to them for food and warmth. In turn, vets believe, kittens purr to show they’re okay and help the m bond with mama cat.
Purrs release feel-good endorphins（脑内啡）, so experts think cats use the vibrations（颤动）to soothe themselves. That could mean purring while enjoying some cozy cuddles from their owner, or it might help calm their nerves—or literally heal their pain. Studies have found that whole-body vibrations of 35 to 50 Hz could help stimulate bone healing. Cats’ purr frequencies range from 25 to 150 Hz, and some suggest the vibrations could help kitties keep their bones strong.
As for purr frequencies go even higher than150 Hz, those serve an entirely different purpose. One study found that when cats were trying to get their owners to feed them, their purr frequency shot up to 220 to 520 Hz—awfully close to the 300 to 600 Hz of a human infant’s cry. Researchers suggest the higher frequency makes the sound harder for cat (and baby) parents to ignore.
28. What can you infer from the underlined sentence (first paragraph)?
A. You should wash your hands after you touch the cat.
B. You’d better pat the cat until it is satisfied.
C. You are probably not as lovable as you think.
D. You should pat the cat on the back.
29. What does the underlined word ―them‖ refer to?
A. Mother cats.
B. Kittens.
30. What is the text mainly about?
A. It is proved that cats’ purrs release f eel-good endorphins.
B. Cats behavior research still has a long way to go.
C. Cats purr in the highest frequency to ask for food.
D. Cats purr to convey different messages.

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
If you’re anything like us, it seems that your stomach starts to grumble（隆隆响）as soon as McDonald’s golden arches come into view. The reason behind that isn’t the mouthwatering taste of their delicious fries—this is how they get them to taste so good by the way—it’s actually psychological, and it has to do with the colors of their logo.
The colors red and yellow were chosen for a specific reason—and no, it wasn’t because they looked nice with Ronald McDonald’s clown-like face. It actually has to do with science. The color red is stimulating and is associated with being active. It also increases heart rate, which helps to jumpstart your appetite. The color yellow is associated with happiness and is the most visible c olor in daylight, so that’s why a McDonald’s sign is so easy to spot on a crowded road.
The brain processes color before it processes words or shapes, so that’s why th e fast-food chain chose these two colors for their logo and brand. Red and yellow makes you hungry, encouraging you to want to buy the product they sell, while also making you feel happy.
McDonald’s has started to use this color philosophy to influence and change the way people currently think about their brand as well. Many franchises（授权经销商）in Europe have started to incorporate more of the color green i nto their storefronts and interior design because it’s associated with nature and being environmentally friendly, something McDonald’s has been criticized for not being in the past. The company has been working to become greener by using environmentally friendly refrigeration and converting used oil into biodiesel（生物柴油）fuel.
So, next time you pass a McDonald’s, don’t be surprised if you find it really hard to resist going in and getting a burger and coke.
