Cats have no emotions. At least, that’s what my husband once claimed. I argued that my two cats experience emotions. They feel anger, fear, and happiness. He agreed with me, but stuck to his opinion that cats don’t feel love. However, my cat, Sebastian, would teach him otherwise.
When my next-door neighbour moved in, he had a cat named Juliet. She was an indoor lady, always watching the environment through the window. Then one day when I
accompanied my cat to the backyard for his playtime, Sebastian caught sight of Juliet gazing at him behind the window. It soon became obvious that they were attracted by each other. So every day thereafter, whenever I let Sebastian out, he would rush straight to the backyard next-door and they would sit gazing lovingly at each other through the screen, she inside, and he outside. Even my husband watched in amazement, and he would murmur, “But cats can’t feel love...can they?”
Five months later, my neighbour had to move because of work. My heart sank. I wondered how Sebastian would react to Juliet’s leaving.
For months after Juliet moved away and the new neighbour moved in, I often caught Sebastian sitting by Juliet’s window, looking into the apartment in search of his lady. The new neighbour didn’t mind having the “Peeping (偷看) Sebastian” after I explained his reason for being there. Sebastian marked the small area outside that window as his territory. Other male cats were allowed in the backyard, but not near Juliet’s window, which he guarded until his death.
Even now, when my husband and I walk through the backyard and see that window, he reminds me of the lesson Sebastian taught him...that cats do indeed fall in love. 4．What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A．Juliet was allowed to go out.

“Pale moon rains. Red moon blows. White moon neither rains nor snows.” For generations, people have watched the moon for signs of changes in the weather. The moon does, in fact, affect the Earth’s climate and weather patterns in several unnoticeable ways.
The most obvious effect the moon has on the Earth can be seen in the ocean tides (潮汐). A world without tides would have very different weather systems. Tides are one factor that influences the movement of ocean currents, which move warm or cool water about the Earth. Warm ocean currents bring warmer wetter weather, while cold ocean currents bring colder drier weather.
While the lunar nodal cycle is set to bring marked change over the coming decades, the moon affects the Earth in a few other little-known ways on a shorter timescale.
The moon is also thought to affect polar temperatures and contribute to fluctuations (波动) in the extent of Arctic ice. Satellite measurements have shown that the poles are 0.55℃ warmer during a full moon. In addition, tidal forces act to break up ice sheets and change ocean heat flows, converting the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean.
The moon’s influence, sometimes unnoticeable and sometimes strong, has had a formative impact on life on Earth. Some scientists argue that it is the moon that made life possible in the first place. The moon steadies the Earth as it spins on its axis (轴), helping to give us a stable climate. Without it, the Earth would rock more irregularly. The poles would move obviously in relation to the Earth’s orbit. Seasons, days and nights would all look very different. The moon is closest to the Earth in the universe, without which the Earth would be

Making a deer out of paper without cutting or using glue sounds impossible. But for Du Jialei, paper can be folded into anything. There is no limit to his imagination.
Du, 23, an architecture major from Shanghai University, won third place at the ninth International Origami Internet Olympiad (IOIO, 国际折纸奥林匹克). Founded by Russian origami master Andrey Elmakov in 2011, the event is seen as the ultimate (最终的) challenge to prove their origami skills.
“I was very excited. But it is a pity that I was edged out by a narrow margin of 0.4 points,” Du said.
Du discovered his interest in folding paper in his childhood. It was when Du went to college in 2017 that he had enough time to take the hobby seriously. He learned folding online, and later he copied patterns from books. He spent almost three years improving his basic skills by making copies of other artists’ designs before making his own original creations.
As a minor art form in China, the public may have a bias (偏见) against it, Du said. “I felt misunderstood as people around me thought that I was wasting time on an easy and simple thing,” he added. But actually, folding paper is not easy at all. “It is an art requiring a lot of theoretical knowledge including geometry (几何学) and materials science,” Du said.
In the competition, Du completed an original artwork, which scored the highest among

B．Entertainment.
C．Science.
D．Sports.
all of his 14 works. He added a nautilus (鹦鹉螺) and a sailing ship, which respectively (分别) represent the concepts (观念) of creativity and trying for something.
For Du, folding paper developed his ability to pay attention to both the bigger picture and the details. In his mentor (导师)’s eyes, Du is a logical young man. “More importantly, he is creative as he has been challenging himself to make original works,” said Pei. 12．Which of the following can you learn from the passage? A．A nautilus represents the concepts of creativity. B．Du can’t make a deer out of paper only with his hands. C．Du felt extremely satisfied about the result of the competition.
D．The original artwork earned the highest scores among all the participants’ works. 13．Which is right about origami from the text? A．It originated from Russia. C．It combines science and art.
B．The IOIO started in 2017. D．It’s a popular art form in China.
14．How did Du improve his basic origami skills? A．He kept making his own original works. B．He watched a TV program about origami. C．He took a relevant optional course in college. D．He practiced copying other artists’ designs. 15．What benefits Du by folding paper? A．It deepens his love for architecture. B．It allows him to make many new friends. C．It helps improve his academic performance. D．It improves his ability to consider more carefully.
