　　阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。

　　Steve knew he'd been adopted as a baby, and when he turned 18, in 2003, he decided he'd try to track down his birth mother. The agency from which he'd been adopted gave him his mother's name, Tallady. But online searches didn’t turn up any results about it, and Steve had to let it go.

　　In 2007, though, he searched for the name again online. This time, the search results included a home address near the Lowe’s store where Steve, then 22, worked as a deliveryman. When he mentioned the coincidence to his boss, his boss said, “You mean Tallady, who works here?”

　　Steve and Tallady, a cashier, had said hello to each other a few times at the store, but they’d never really talked. He hadn’t even known her name. Steve thought there was no possible way she was his mother though they shared the same name. For a few months, Steve avoided Tallady. “I wasn’t sure how to approach her,” he told a local reporter. Finally, the agency volunteered to arrange their reunion.

　　When Tallady realized that the nice guy she’d been waving at was his son, she sobbed. She'd always hoped to meet her birth son one day. Later that day, mother and son talked for almost three hours at a nearby bar. She’d given him up for adoption in 1985, when she was 23. “I wasn't ready to be a mother,” she told him. Married with two other children, Tallady says, “I have a complete family now. ”

　　56. Steve gave up the online search for his birth mother in 2003 because ______.

　　A. the agency didn’t give him any help

　　B. there was no information about his mother

　　C. his mother didn't respond to him online

　　D. he missed the information about his mother

　　57. What did Steve find about his mother online in 2007?

　　______.

　　A. Her home address

　　B. Her full name

　　C. Her boss’s name

　　D. Her new job

　　58. Why did Steve avoid Tallady for months?

　　A. Because she didn’t want to talk to him.

　　B. Because he was not fully prepared for the reunion.

　　C. Because she was difficult to approach.

　　D. Because he didn’t think she was his mother.

　　59. The best title for the passage is ______.

　　A. The love of mother

　　B. An unexpected meeting

　　C. The power of the Internet

　　D. An unusual reunion

　　阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。

　　Dogs and cats are not for students who live in the dormitory. Just think about the noise, the smell and all that wild behavior, chewing on whatever they can get their teeth on, or knocking over the trash can. But don’t feel sad. There smaller and less destructive pets to make your dormitory life colorful.

　　Betta fish

　　They make great pets with their big personality and astonishing colors, ranging from bright red, dark blue to lemon yellow. Unlike many fish, most bettas react to their owner’s presence and become more active when they are nearby, which is unusual in the fish world.

　　Chinchillas

　　Without bad smell, about the size of a rabbit and with fur so dense that they can't get pests such as fleas (跳蚤), the friendly creature originally from the Andes Mountains in South America makes an ideal indoor pet. Chinchillas are very social animals, even if you are only alone, you will become its family. In cold winter days, only a glance at this fury pet in a dorm will bring you a lot of warmth.

　　Land hermit crabs

　　In a society where owners are often asked “Are they tasty?”, land hermit crabs are among the most unlucky animals commonly kept pets. But they are easy to care for, inexpensive and fascinating to watch. And the fact that they don't cause any allergic reactions makes them perfect for college dormitories.

　　Red-eared sliders

　　If you're interested in a lifelong friend, a red-eared slider makes a wonderful pet. If well cared for, they can live for around 40 years. But there are a couple of things you should know. Red-eared can grow to an adult size of up to 30 cm! So you may need a larger tank quickly. In addition, you will need to provide UV lighting, water heater, and a swimming area and a basking (晒太阳) area. Housing a red eared slider is not easy.

　　60. All the dormitory pets mentioned in the text are ______.

　　A. active and allergic

　　B. quiet and peaceful

　　C. colorful and tasty

　　D. small and smelly

　　61. Which of the following is not true about these creatures?

　　A. Bettas are active and rich in colors.

　　B. Chinchillas are originally mountain animals.

　　C. Land hermit crabs are allergic but tasty.

　　D. Red-eared sliders need more care from the owner.

　　62. If you want to keep the pet as long as possible, you'd better choose ______ .

　　A. Betta fish

　　B. Chinchillas

　　C. Land hermit crabs

　　D. Red-eared sliders

　　63. The passage is mainly to ______

　　A. introduce the best way to keep pets B. offer useful pictures for choosing pets

　　C. inform students of lifestyle of pets

　　D. recommend some dormitory pets
