19、 regular customer had rushed him to her office after his pet dog brought the cat home in his mouth.The dogs owner was horrified,believing that his pet had caused the cats injuries.But Kennon found no teeth marks or bite wounds,which showed that the dog had probably saved,not harmed,the kitten.In Ken
20、nons opinion,however,the cat was a hopeless case.Many doctors would have put down such a badly hurt animal.But she couldnt be so cruel.The kittens bright eyes and sad face had won her over.There was no way of finding his owner,so Kennon,a single woman aged 56,decided to keep him.She gave him a round
21、 of shots and fed him food mixed with medicines.He couldnt move his back legs but soon started pulling himself forward with his front legs.The doctor named him Scooter and contacted a company that makes carts for disabled animals.Scooter took to his new wheels like a natural.In no time he was able t
22、o move freely,but somewhat awkwardly,around Kennons office,home and even her backyard.The sight of the determined Scooter was uplifting and amusing in equal measure and Kennon had to smile each time the cat entered the room.Kennon was convinced that her kitten could share his high spirits with other
23、s.So she took Scooter to the local hospital to see if he could help the patients.His first patient was an elderly woman whod had a stroke and hadnt spoken to anyone for two days.Scooter jumped out of Kennons arms and onto the bed,rolled over to the patient,and lay gently near her cheek,purring softl
24、y.The woman looked at Scooter.“Kitty,”she murmured as she began to talk to him.Amazed,Kennon turned to the doctor-and saw that she was in tears.The cat had engineered a small miracle.Today Scooter spends about ten hours a month working with patients who are recovering from strokes and injuries.Again
25、 and again,Kennon watches as her cat provides hope and comfort.As one patient whod lost her leg in a car accident said,“If he can do it,so can I.”36.From Paragraph 1,we know that _.A.the dogs owner was a stranger to Kennon B.who actually injured the cat was unknown C.the dog was extremely cruel to t
26、he cat D.the cat had several bite marks on its body 37.The underlined phrase“put down”in Paragraph 2 most probably means_.A.hurt B.refused C.killed D.replaced 38.Why did Kennon decide to keep the cat?A.She wanted a companion.B.The cats owner abandoned him.C.The cat was hopeless.D.She liked the cat.3
27、9.How did Kennon help the cat move around?A.By getting him a special cart.B.By curing his broken back.C.By feeding him medicines.D.By exercising him in her backyard.40.According to the passage,what is the main reason that the cat works miracle?A.Patients feel sympathy for him.B.He is able to inspire
28、 others.C.People are amused by his appearance.D.He has the ability to cure the ill.B Now scientists believe that global warming affects hibernating animals,causing them to wake up earlier.While this may seem a little concern,it is in fact a significant environmental problem.The shortened hibernation
29、 period could actually lead to significant declines in the populations of several species Some of the first concrete evidence of the phenomenon came from Colorado,where researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological lab have been observing marmot(旱獭)hibernation behavior since the 1970s.In the early da
30、ys of their studies,marmots generally hibernated several weeks into the month of May.Nowadays,however,temperatures in the area have risen by 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit,and the marmots are waking up about a month earlier.At least the marmots are still hibernating.Several other animals have not been hiber
31、nating at all recently.Brown bears in the Spanish Cantabrian Mountains did not hibernate last year.In parts of the United States,chipmunks(花鼠)also skipped the hibernation period.The bears seem to have survived without losing many individuals.The chipmunks,however,were not so lucky.Many of the animal
32、s died of starvation during the winter.The problem with animals waking up early,or skipping hibernation altogether,lies with the creatures metabolism(新陈代谢).When an animal hibernates,their metabolism drops significantly.The animals heart rate slows,and they require very little energy to live.When the
33、 animals awake from their winter slumber,their metabolism returns to normal.But while their metabolism may be as active as it was before hibernation,food sources arent as available as they were before.A marmot may wake up when temperatures get warmer,thinking its spring,but plants will not have gotten the amount of sun they need to s
