Terasa Hill did not intend to do something unplanned. It began when Terasa was observing a horse auction (拍

卖) . A chestnut: racehorse was for sale? “She was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen, though it had an injured

leg,” said Terasa.

When the bidding started, Terasa surprised herself by stepping in. Finally, Terasa became the new owner of

Sierra, and Sierra, limping (跛) and hurt with pain from a broken knee, became a labour of love for Terasa. After

three long months of nursing her under the guidance of a local animal doctor, the leg recovered.

It wasn’t only Sierra’s leg that needed to recover; Sierra needed to relearn how to trust people. Terasa thought

the best way to win Sierra’s trust and fondness was to feed her treats. Terasa kept providing Sierra with many treats,

but none passed the sniff ( 嗅) test. Desperate, Terasa experimented by making her own mixture of molasses and

grains, which she baked in her own kitchen. The cookies were a hit with Sierra and other horses, sending Terasa’s life

in a new direction.

Her treats, called “Barnies”, were sold to a local store and like hotcakes, within months local businessmen began

demanding for more. Terasa’s kitchen was no longer big enough for the increased demand, moving her operation to

an Oshawa company.

Then a serious health problem threatened to ruin her plans. Terasa called upon the same resolution that had

helped her save Sierra to help her overcome her own illness. Family and friends came to her rescue and kept Barnies

Ltd. going. Almost a year later, healthy and more resolute than ever, Terasa found a national distributor and Bainies

began selling in 144 stores across Canada.

And what about Sierra, the inspiration for all this success and change? The horse has fully recovered and has

become a wonderful riding horse.

4. Why did Terasa create her own cookies?

A. To show superb cooking skills. B. To provide a special diet for Sierra.

C. To find a way to bond with the horse. D. To lay the foundation for her business.

5. Which best describes Terasa according to paragraph 3?

A. Inflexible（顽固的）. B. Pessimistic. C. Confident. D. Determined.

6. Why is the last paragraph an effective conclusion?

A. It raises a valuable question.

B. It provides surprising information.

C. It returns to the topic of the opening paragraph.

D. It continues the focus of the paragraph before it.

7. What is the text mainly about?

A. A remarkable encounter. B. A famous food company.

C. A rescue of a weak horse. D. A career from previous devotion.

The sound of leaves underfoot is usually associated with autumn. But this year, it was the soundtrack（配音） to

summer walks across Europe, as maximum temperature records fell and the continent suffered its worst drought in 500

years.

The drought had been building for months after a dry winter and spring, but it was worse by a series of fierce

heatwaves over the summer, says Simon Parry at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. In France, nuclear power

plants were forced to reduce their output as low river flows meant there wasn’t enough water to cool their reactors.

Water levels on the Rhine river dropped so far that ships loaded with goods in Germany and the Netherlands, including

coal and petrol, were unable to travel. Besides, farmers saw crops wither (枯萎) . Harvests of soya-beans and sunflower

seeds were predicted to fall by between12 and 16 per cent.

This was a crisis caused in large part by climate change, says Richard Allan, who is also at the University of

Reading. “Warming due to human-caused climate change made this event much more extreme,” he says. Studies

suggest that the drought was made at least 20 times more likely by global warming.

However, that missing rainfall ends up somewhere, says Peter Gleick at the Pacific Institute in California. This

year’s disastrous floods in countries including Australia and Pakistan are the “flip side” of the droughts, he says. “The

droughts and the extreme floods that we are seeing are tied together, and are part and parcel of the broader challenge of

climate change,” says Gleick.

In the wake of a drought, it is critical that nature gets time to recover. But for Europe, this was the second severe

drought in four years. “My grass has already recovered from this summer…but if I had a tree that survived it, that would

take 10 years or more to get back to a normal state,” says Niko Wanders at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.

8. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the sound?

A. To show the seasonal cycle. B. To describe the beauty of autumn.

C. To emphasize the dry weather. D. To clarify trees’ survival mode.

9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?

A. The reduction of river water. B. The duration of the drought.

C. The causes of various losses. D. The consequences of the disaster.

10. Which is probably the best way to tackle（解决） climate change according to the text?

A. Expanding climate monitoring. B. Improving human behavior.

C. Promoting natural restoration. D. Balancing water distribution.

11. What is the author’s attitude toward the climate change trend in Europe?

A. Conservative. B. Unclear. C. Concerned. D. Hopeful.

Many of us seem to have lives that follow a certain path. From kindergarten all the way to marriage, every stage of

our lives seems to be preset（预设的）. Although this works well for many people, according to British motivational

philosopher Jay Shetty, there is no “right” schedule to live our lives by.

A few months ago, a video of Shetty’s speech Before You Feel Pressure went viral on the Internet across the world.

In the video, he sends an important message that we should think “outside of the path” and have the courage to follow

our hearts. Shetty adds that, we don’t have to get stressed and put ourselves in a race with our peers or judge our lives

based on others. Everything in life happens according to our time, our clocks.

In his inspiring speech, Shetty points out that UK author J. K. Rowling got her famous Harry Potter series

published at age 32, after being turned down by 12 publishers. Shetty also mentions that Chinese businessman Jack

Ma didn’t even start the Alibaba Group until he was 35 and US actor Morgan Freeman didn’t get his big break until

he was 52 years old.

We shouldn’t let anyone rush us. As Albert Einstein once said, “Not everything that counts can be counted, and

not everything that’s counted truly counts. ”

The key to staying on our own tracks is to be patient and embrace our own passions. In Australian nurse Bronnie

Ware’s best-selling book, she recorded the regrets of her dying patients, and the top one on the list was, “I wish l had

the courage to live a life true to myself, not the one others expected of me.” Indeed, we are all unique in our

personalities and gifts, and there’s no perfect fit for all. We should listen to our inner voices and unlearn what the

world has taught us.

“It is important to allow people to go back to being self-aware of their own interests, needs and concerns”,

Shetty told National Geographic. “It’s disconnecting from what ‘makes sense’ to what actually moves you and what

makes sense internally.”

12．What is many people’s life path like according to Paragraph 1?

A．It suits everyone fine. B．It is preset by parents.

C．It includes two major stages. D．It seems to be a fixed pattern.

13．What does Shetty want to convey in the video?

A．Run your own race. B．Follow the preset path.

C．Think outside the box. D．Integrate our ideas with others’.

14．How does Shetty prove his idea in Paragraph 3?

A．By using quotes. B．By giving examples.

C．By making comparison. D．By analyzing figures.

15．Which statement does the author most probably agree with?

A．Accept what others teach us. B．Stick to our own internal thoughts.

C．Live up to others’ expectations of us. D．Reflect on what we undergo in our life.
