(2017·沈阳市二模，A)
The owner of a missing cat is asking for help. “My baby has been missing for over a month now, and I want him back so badly，” said Mrs. Brown, a 56yearold woman. Mrs. Brown lives by herself in a park near Clovis. She said that Clyde, her 7yearold cat, didn't come home for dinner more than a month ago. The next morning he didn't appear for breakfast, either. After Clyde missed an extraspecial lunch, she called the police. When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde, she told him that Clyde had beautiful green eyes, had all his teeth but was missing half of his left ear, and was seven years old and completely white.
?Is Clyde your child or your pet？” the officer asked. “Well, he's my cat.” Mrs. Brown replied. “Lady, you should report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS！” said the annoyed
policeman. “You can ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers.” Mrs. Brown figured that a
billboard would work a lot better than an 8?11 piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an
empty billboard at the end of her street just off the highway, with a phone number on it.
She called that number, and they told her they could put up a picture of Clyde on the billboard for all to see. They told her it would cost only ￥3 000 a month. So she took most of the money out of her savings account and rented the billboard for a month.
The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared.
Because she has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to see if anyone could help her rent the billboard for just one more month. She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward.
文章大意：本文是一篇资讯报道。一个老太太的宠物猫丢失一个多月了，她就此请求大家给予帮助。
1．The underlined word “flyers” in the second paragraph probably means ________.
A．posters
B．pilots
C．billboards
D．newspapers
答案：A 词义猜测题。警察建议Mrs. Brown “put up flyers”，再根据文章第二段倒数第二句“Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole.”可推知，flyer指的是“an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole”，故答案A海报，符合文义。

B．Mrs. Brown put up an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole.

D．Someone rented the billboard for Mrs. Brown for one month.
答案：A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句“‘Lady, you should report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS！’ said the annoyed policeman”可知，答案A符合文义。should此处表示惊讶。
3．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．the billboard off the highway costs $ 3 000 a month
B．the neighbors helped Mrs. Brown to put up flyers
C．Mrs. Brown doesn't give up the hope of finding Clyde
D．Clyde only had half of his left ear but had all his teeth
答案：C 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第一句“The owner of a missing cat is asking for help.”和对文章最后两段的整体理解可以推断出，Mrs. Brown并没有放弃寻找宠物猫，故答案C符合文义。
4．What is probably the best title for the passage?
A．A Nearby Billboard
B．Clyde and Mrs. Brown
C．A Missing Cat
D．Persons or Cats
答案：C 标题概括题。根据文章第一段第一句“The owner of a missing cat is asking for help.”的开篇点题和对全文的整体理解可知，本文主要讲的是一个老太太寻找一只丢失的猫的相关信息，故答案C符合文义。

How often do you sit still and do absolutely nothing The usual answer these days is " never", or "hardly ever"．As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation．Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down．But relaxation is essential for a heahy mind and body．
Stress is a natural part of everyday life．There is no way to avoid it, since it takes many and varStress, in fact, is not the "baddy" it is often reputed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life．It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health．
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual．Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities．Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties．When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically．In fact we make a choice between "fight" or "fright" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life and death．The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response．All the energy is diverted to cope with the stress．It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered．Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress．
Stress in some people produces stomach disorders, while others succumb to tension headaches．Since we cannot remove stress from our Jives, We need to find ways to cope with it．
71．People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _______.
A．they are working harder than they used to be B．they are often too busy to find the time C．they are not clear of how to relax by themselves

A．How much stress one can bear depends greatly on whether he knows the art of relaxation．
B．People in primitive days survived from stress because they found certain ways to deal with it.
C．If one gets into the habit of relaxing every day he can overcome stress easily．
D．Stress can lead to serious health problem if one is exposed to it for．too long．
73．The underlined sentence in paragraph 2 suggests that_______．
A．Stress is not always a bad thing for people
B．Stress has a bad reputation of causing ill health C．Stress is not so terrible as people often believe it to be D．Stress is always harmful to people all the time74．According to this passage, which is TRUE?
A．Relaxation in life only benefits us mentally．
B．Different people can stand different amounts of stress．
