If you see a group of kids hitting and abusing an animal, would you stop them? Would you at least call the police? Again people would walk away. Some people do not believe that animal abuse is a big issue.

Every day animals are abused in their homes or on the streets. It seems as if politicians do nothing to stop this issue. Everyone is worried about education and global warming. What about animals? We should not ignore them just because they cannot talk to us. Animals, like us humans, have rights. Every living being has the right to warm shelter and good food, but most importantly, they have the right to be wanted and loved. They have the right to be a special, much loved member of their own family.

There are many organizations that deal with abused animals or animals that have no home like ASPCA, PETA, the Humane Society and many more. There are organizations that deal with this issue, but that does not mean that we still shouldn’t help. The biggest saying that bothers me is, “I am only one person. I can’t make a difference.” If everyone thought like that, we wouldn’t have the organizations and loving people who help the world every day. By helping one animal, you are making a difference.

There are many things you can do right now to help animals around your neighborhood. You can volunteer at your local animal shelter, raise money for animal shelters, inform your community about animal abuse or you can write to your representatives and tell them that animal abuse needs to be taken seriously.

As you walk down the street, try to help any animals you see walking around. You can easily buy a cheap box of dry cat or dog food to feed the animals. If we do not help our animals now, we may never have animals again. Always remember that with every step you take, you help save an animal’s life and isn’t that worth fighting for?

A. they are too busy to worry about the animals

72. We can learn from the text that ASPCA ______.

A. is another name for the Humane Society

B. provides shelter for both animals and humans

C. deals with such issues as education and global warming

D. aims at protecting animals from being abused

73. Which of the following statements will the author agree with?

A. Dogs have the right to be treated kindly.

B. One person cannot possibly make a difference.

C. Cruelty to animals deserves more attention than global warming.

D. It is the politicians’ duty to stop animal abuse.

74. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

第一节 任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分)

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

As we all know, exercising regularly is good for us. A lot of people would surely agree that after an exercise routine in the morning, you’ll feel that you are most energetic (精力充沛的), and feel better every day. Also when you do exercise, for example, jog in the morning，you’ll surely observe that there are also a lot of people who do the same. Finally, if you make it a daily habit, you’ll meet new friends. Being with other people can help you forget all the anxiety you feel in your life.

Therefore, all of us are supposed to make exercise as automatic (自觉的) as brushing our teeth. To make a new exercise habit, firstly, you can make it so easy to do that you can’t find an excuse not to do it. For example, instead of working out for an hour, just exercise for 15 minutes.

Also you can create a trigger (提醒物) to remind you to exercise. For example, putting your running shoes right in front of your door might remind you to run for 10 minutes in the morning, or an afternoon text message from a friend might remind you to do 10 pushups.

Shaping your environment is also very helpful in building the exercise habit. You can shape your environment in ways that encourage you to exercise. For example, you could surround yourself with people who exercise every day. You could also add a reward and connect it to your new habit, like treating yourself to a concert at the end of the week.

In a word, changing exercise into a habit requires thoughtful design and patience, but on the other hand, it can keep you on a path to health and happiness.

Dear Steve,

I’m writing to tell you about our new club, which brings together students with a common interest in protecting cultural relics. I’m sure you will be interested in it.

The club was started on October 5th, 2012 to enrich our after-school life and encourage us students to protect cultural relics. Many interesting activities have been organized, which include reading books about cultural relics and writing book reports, watching films about the protection of cultural relics, volunteering in museums and doing survey on cultural relics.

We have learned a lot from these activities and got a better understanding of protecting our cultural relics.

Yours,

Li Hua
