The Man was very sad.He knew that the Cat's days were __36__.The doctor had said there wasn't anything more that could be done.
The Man touched the Cat on his lap gently and sighed.The Cat opened his eyes and looked up at the Man.A tear __37__ the Man's cheek and landed on the Cat's forehead.The Cat gave him a slightly annoyed look.
“Why do you cry，Man？” the Cat asked.“Because you can't bear the__38__ of losing me？” The Man nodded “Yes”.
“And where do you think I'll be when I leave you？” the Cat asked. The Man shrugged helplessly. “Close your eyes，Man，”the Cat said.The Man gave him a __39__ look，but did as he was told.
“What color are my eyes and fur？” the Cat asked.“Your eyes are gold and your fur is a rich，warm brown，” the Man replied.
“And where is it that you __40__ see me？” asked the Cat.“I see you...on the kitchen windowsill（窗台）watching the birds...on my favorite chair...on my desk lying on the papers I need...on the pillow next to my head at night.” “Then，whenever you wish to see me，all you must do is close your eyes，” said the Cat.
“ __41__ that piece of string from the floor—there，my toy.” The string was about two feet long and the Cat had been able to entertain himself for hours with it.“Now take each end of the string in one hand，” the Cat ordered.The Man did so.
“The end in your left hand is my birth and the end in your right hand is my __42__.Now bring the two ends together，” the Cat said.The Man obeyed.
“You have made a continuous __43__，” said the Cat.“Does any point along the string appear to be different，worse or better than any other part of the string？” The Man __44__ the string and then shook his head “no”.
“Close your eyes again，” the Cat said. “Now lick（舔）your hand.” The Man widened his eyes in surprise.
“Just do it，” the Cat said.“Lick your hand，think of me in all my familiar places，think about all the pieces of string.”
The Man felt __45__，licking his hand，but he did as he was told.He discovered what a cat must know，that licking a paw is very calming and allows one to think more clearly.He continued licking and the corners of his __46__ turned upward into the first smile he had shown in days.He waited for the Cat to tell him to stop，and when he didn't，he opened his eyes.The Cat's eyes were closed and the Cat __47__.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension（30 marks）
Directions：Read the following three passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
Can you believe your eyes？A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.
Martin Doherty，a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland，led the team of scientists.In this experiment，Doherty and his team tested the perception of some people，using pictures of some orange circles.The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people.The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10，and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.
The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background.One of the circles was larger than the other，and these people were asked to identify the larger one.Fouryearolds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time.Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.
Next，both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles，again of different sizes，were surrounded by gray circles.Here's where the trick lies in.In some of the pictures，the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle，which was the real larger one.And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles—so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.
When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures，they weren't fooled—they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before.Older children and adults，on the other hand，did not do as well.Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one，and adults got it wrong most of the time.
As children get older，Doherty said，their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context.In other words，they will begin to process the whole picture at once：the tricky gray circles，as well as the orange circle in the middle.As a result，they're more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.
56．Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate______.
A．children's and adults' eyesight B．people's ability to see accurately
C．children's and adults' brains D．the influence of people's age
57．When asked to find the larger circle，______.
A．children at 6 got it wrong 79% of the time with no gray ones around
B．only adults over 18 got it right 95% of the time with gray ones around
C．children at 4 got it right about 79% of the time with gray ones around
D．adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around
58．According to the passage，we can know that ______.
A．a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white background
B．an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size
C．a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size
D．a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size
59．Visual context may work when children get older than______.
A．4 B．6 C．10 D．18
60．Why are younger children not fooled?
A．Because they are smarter than older children and adults.
B．Because older people are influenced by their experience.
C．Because people's eyes become weaker as they grow older.
D．Because their brain can hardly notice related things together.

Camp memories last forever！We make sure they are unforgettable!
Shadow Ridge Summer Camps offer so many exciting things for campers to do.Unlike other camp programs that include horses as a small part of their program，at Shadow Ridge horses are the program！We are 100% horse from stable（马厩）management，nature walks，and track rides to bedroom furnishings.
Horses help us achieve many of our aims.Girls can learn to develop responsibility，selfconfidence and personal connections in their lives while having fun.Using horses as a wonderful tool for education，our camps offer an interesting place for growth and learning.
Imagine each girl having her very own horse to spend time with and a best friend to love and take care of.Each camper is responsible for a horse for the week.Our riding program provides a lot of riding and lesson time.Campers will learn how to take care of the horse and the tack（马具），as well as how to ride.Days are filled with horserelated activities to strengthen the connection between each girl and horse，as the girls learn to work safely around the horses.
At Shadow Ridge we try to create a loving，caring family atmosphere for our campers.We have “The Bunkhouse”（4 girls），“the Wranglers Roost”（4 girls），and “The Hideout”（2 girls）in our comfortable 177yearold farm house.All meals are home cooked，offering delicious and healthy food for the hungry rider.
Our excellent activities create personalized memories of your child's vacation.Each child will receive a camp Tshirt and a photo album（usually 300～500 pictures）of their stay at camp.
Our camps are offered during June，July and August 2021，for small groups of girls aged 1316 years，not only from Canada but also other parts of the wo
