Dogs are often referred to as “man's best friend”. But MacKenzie, a four-pound Chihuahua (奇瓦瓦狗), who was named winner of the 2020 American Hero Dog competition, is making the world a better place for humans and animals alike. Often called the “Oscars for dogs”, the award recognizes dogs who make great contributions to society.

This year's competition attracted over 400 competitors from across the country. While all were impressive, it was tiny MacKenzie who won the judges' hearts. Born at a rescue shelter in Hilton, New York, in 2013, she had a cleft palate (腭裂) that required her to be tube fed for the first year of her life. A life-saving operation, performed in 2014, gave her the ability to eat and drink independently, enabling the tiny dog to focus on doing what she loved most: taking care of others.

The seven-year-old Chihuahua is now gainfully “employed” by the Mid Foundation, a Rochester, New York-based non-profit organization that shelters and cares for animals born with disabilities. MacKenzie's official job is “to provide love and care for baby rescue animals born with birth defects”. The Chihuahua is good at her job and hasnurturedmany different species-from puppies to kittens to turkeys, squirrels, birds and even a goat. She acts as their mother and teaches them how to socialize, play, and have good manners.

In addition to her role as an animal caretaker, MacKenzie also has the important job of greeting the foundation's volunteers and friends. The incredible dog, who has lost her ability to bark, also visits area schools to help children understand physical disabilities in both animals and people. Her heart-warming and inspiring story makes MacKenzie worthy of America's top dog honor! 4. What made MacKenzie American Hero Dog?

A. Being man's best friend. B. Her struggle with disabilities.

C. Rescuing animals with disabilities. D. Her contributions to a better world. 5. What can we infer about MacKenzie from Paragraph 2?

A. Her growth path was not easy. B. She was deserted by her owner.

C. She was operated on at two years old. D. She still needs taking care of by others. 6. What does the underlined word “nurtured” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Trained. B. Comforted. C. Tended. D. Abused. 7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. MacKenzie—The Most Hard-working Dog B. MacKenzie—America's “Most Heroic Dog” C. Chihuahua—Inspiration of Positive Energy D. Chihuahua—Appeal for Animals' Protection

C

Jake Oldershaw and his daughter Mollie from Birmingham, Britain have asthma (哮喘). Mollie, 11, has required hospital treatment several times while Jake Says he always finds breathing more difficult when there is heavy traffic. Air quality has an enormous impact on their lives and both noticed a marked improvement during the spring lockdown because of the epidemic (疫情). Jake said, “During lockdown there was a noticeable difference in air quality. I didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period. These days you can feel the effects.”

However, under current COVID-19 restrictions in the UK this winter, many people probably will have to work from home. The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) says while emissions (排放) have dropped this year because we've been travelling less and doing less, the expected use ofgas boilers to provide heating and hot water could rise by more than half.

Heating accounts for nearly 37% of the UK's total carbon emissions. Modelling by the ECIU suggests a 56% increase in boiler usage this winter resulting in a 12% increase in emissions of carbon. The ECIU says that's enough to offset the last two years' worth of progress on reducing traffic emissions.

Jess Ralston, author of the analysis for the ECIU, said, “Working from home and having increased gas use in the home could be really critical for air pollution and also climate change. The way we heat our homes needs to change if we are to get to net zero by 2050.”

Jess Ralston said, “The increase in pollution from gas boilers expected this winter provides a graphic illustration (图解) of their forgotten role in air pollution. And it is a role set to continue without practical policies to decarbonize home heating. ”

The government is set to publish its Heat and Buildings Decarbonisation Strategy in a few weeks which is expected to give details on plans to try to switch British homes to cleaner sources of heat. 8. How did the spring lockdown in the UK affect Jake? A. He was cured of his asthma.

B. He had to go to hospital for retreatment. C. He suffered a noticeable difficulty in study.

D. He didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period. 9. What is concerning the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit? A. The epidemic will become worse. B. Air pollution will get worse this winter. C. People may have to work from home longer. D. There is less energy for gas boilers in winter. 10. What would Jess Ralston agree with? A. People prefer to work from home in winter. B. The government failed to protect the environment. C. People tend to ignore the harmful effect of home heating. D. The climate has suffered a lot from the epidemic this year.

11. How to improve air quality during winter according to Jess Ralston? A. A warmer winter season. B. Less and less gas boilers.

C. Practical plans from the government.

D. Improved awareness of cutting down pollution.

“They’re harming your brain.” “They’re ruining your eyes.” “They’re turning you into a violent person.” The words said publicly against video games are so common, but are these worries founded on actual science? Countless studies have offered different opinions on whether video games are bad for you. We’ve rounded up the most notable reports and studies below, so you can weigh up the evidence for yourself.

In 2013,psychologist(心理学家) Simone Kuhn studied the influences of spending long hours on video games on the brains of young adults and found that several areas became bigger than before. These areas are connected with highercognitive functions(认知功能), memory formation andfinemotor(精细运动) function.

Last year, psychologists said that video game players who favour violent games are more likely to be violent when offline. Dr. Mark Appelbaum of the American Psychological Association said that there was a relation between violent video game use and increases in violent behaviour.

Dr. Daphne Bavelier is an expert in the field of Brain & Cognitive Sciences. Bavelier presented the audience

with a colour-word test, where non-gamers are easily puzzled by the test, and those who spend long periods playing on their computers are more likely to pass the test with flying colours.

“Actually, those video game players have many other advantages in terms of attention,” said Bavelier, “and one part of attention which is also improved for the better is our ability to follow the movements of objects.”

“So, in a sense, when we think about the influence of video games on the brain, it’s very similar to the influence of wine on the health. There are some very poor uses of wine. There are some very poor uses of video games. But when drunk in reasonable amounts, and at the right age, wine can be very good for health,” said Bavelier.

12. What can be learned from Simone Kuhn’s study？ A. Video games make you happier. B. Video games make your brain grow. C. Video games play a key role in memory. D. Video games teach you how to learn fast.

13. What was Dr. Mark Appelbaum’s attitude towards video games？ A. He was against them. B. He was hopeful of them. C.He was in favour of them. D. He was uncertain about them. 14. Which of the following may Dr. Daphne Bavelier agree with？ A. Video games fix attention problems. B. Video games make kids do well in exams. C. Video games encourage violent behaviour. D. Video games help increase colour knowledge.

15. Why are the uses of wine mentioned in the last paragraph？ A. To remind people to avoid video games. B. To show the disadvantages of video games. C. To help people learn more about video games. D.To ask people to make good use of video games. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
