A
My Cat, Mrs Lick-A-Chin
Some of the cats I know about
Spend a little time in and a lot of time out,
Or a lot of time out and a little time in.
But my cat, Mrs Lick-a-chin,
Never knows where she wants to be.
If I let her in, she looks at me
And begins to sing that she wants to go out.
So, I open the door and she looks about
And begins to sing, "Please let me in!"
Poor silly(愚蠢的) Mrs Lick-a-chin!
The thing about cats, as you may find,
Is that no one knows what they have in mind.
And I'll tell you something about that:
No one knows it less than my cat.
()36. The word "find" in the poem rhymes with "______".
A. think
B. chin

()37. When I let Mrs Lick-a-chin in, what doesn't she do?

答案

解析
【解析】
36. 考查英语诗歌押韵规则：单词find的发音为/faɪnd/，选项中mind的发音为/maɪnd/，二者词尾发音一致，属于押韵，其余选项think/θɪŋk/、chin/tʃɪn/、in/ɪn/均不与find押韵，故选C。
37. 细节定位：根据文中"If I let her in, she looks at me And begins to sing that she wants to go out."可知，猫被放进门后会看着“我”、发出叫声表示想要出去，文中完全没有提到她追赶其他猫的相关内容，因此D项是她不会做的事，故选D。
38. 细节判断：A选项，根据文中"So, I open the door and she looks about And begins to sing, 'Please let me in!'"可知，开门后猫唱的是请求进屋，不是请求出去，该表述错误；B选项，作者用亲昵的称呼描述小猫，字里行间体现出对猫的喜爱，表述正确；C选项对应文中"Never knows where she wants to be."，表述正确；D选项，that发音/ðæt/，最后一个cat发音/kæt/，二者押韵，表述正确。本题选错误项，故选A。

Now it's weekend. Hopefully, life is slowing down. It's the perfect time to learn the art of taking things slow.
Most people are in a rush nearly all the time. This rushing has a name "hurry sickness". People with hurry sickness often feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to finish everything. They might get angry when they find themselves trapped(困住) in traffic or try to do too many things at once, like eating while getting dressed or watching television while working. Rushing often brings mistakes(错误) and then it takes even more time to fix them in the long run. Hurry sickness can make people feel tired and unhappy.
"There's so much we miss when we rush," says Amy Arthur. "Slowing down helps us see more." Slowing down helps us enjoy things more. It can even make you a better friend because you can take your time to notice how others are feeling. Studies show slowing down helps us think clearly and find new ideas to work out problems.
It's not always easy to slow down when you have lots to do. If this happens, Arthur recommends giving yourself enough time for each task. Try to notice if you start rushing and ask yourself why you need to. Taking short breaks to have a rest. When life is busy, listening to calm music or finding a quiet corner to read a book helps you to take time out and recharge(恢复精力) your mind.
(
A. By telling stories.
B. By giving examples.
C. By asking questions.
D. By listing numbers.
(
A. It makes us see and hear things far away.
B. It teaches us how to prevent busy traffic.
C. It fixes mistakes when we take life faster.
D. It helps us find new ways to work out problems.
(
A. Taking a break before doing the tasks.
B. Asking others to do the tasks with you.
C. Doing everything as quickly as possible.
D. Giving yourself enough time for each task.
(
A. To give tips on how to enjoy the free time better.
B. To share ideas about how to complete more tasks.
C. To advise people to slow down and enjoy life.
D. To question those who enjoy a slow lifestyle.
