McKenzie grew up at a farmhouse. Initially, the fence around the property was old and had several large gaps, so I strengthened the bottom with chicken wire and thought all was well. McKenzie would spend his days frolicking (嬉戏) in the large yard while Connie and I were at work and Sophie was at school.
One day, while on a job in the area, I stopped home to visit. As I pulled up to the driveway, I saw McKenzie outside of the fence playing in the daisies, dancing and nosing at a large butterfly hovering just out of his reach. I watched McKenzie enjoying himself until, suddenly, he realized he wasn’t alone. He took one look at me and fled to a hole under the fence, wriggling (扭动) back into the yard. He ran around to the back of the house, the place where he was usually asleep when we came home. As I stood and watched, McKenzie then proceeded to come around the corner of the house, stretching as if he had just woken up. Then, continuing his act, he looked at me as if he had just noticed I was home and excitedly came up to the fence, where he sat in his “proud boy” stance (姿态), as if he had been good all day and was glad to see me! I laughed as I opened the gate, and then I stood and gave him a frown. With my hands on my hips, I asked the little faker where the hole was. To my surprise, he lowered his ears and dejectedly walked over to the spot in the fence he had earlier wriggled through and sat down, looking at me. I laughed so hard that I cried.
4. Why did McKenzie run back when he saw the author?
A. Because he messed up the house. B. Because he killed a butterfly.
C. Because he was afraid to be scolded. D. Because he was tired of playing alone.
5. What does the underlined word mean in the second paragraph?
A. Disappointedly. B. Passionately. C. Delightedly. D. Indifferently.
6. What kind of tone is adopted by the writer in this short story?
A. Critical. B. Ironic. C. Lighthearted. D. Sympathetic.
7. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. An Unforgettable Experience B. McKenzie, a Fantastic Actor
C. A Lesson from a Clever Dog D. McKenzie, a Loving Family Member
【答案】4. C 5. A 6 C 7. B

这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述的是作者的善于表演的小儿子一个人在家里的院子栅栏外玩得很开心，当看到作者开车回来时，他又马上从栅栏的一个洞里钻回家里佯装睡觉的样子，后来又一屁股坐在他钻进钻出的栅栏的洞里无奈地看着“我”的故事 。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段句子“Initially, the fence around the property was old and had several large gaps, so I strengthened the bottom with chicken wire and thought all was well. McKenzie would spend his days frolicking (嬉戏) in the large yard while Connie and I were at work and Sophie was at school.”（最初，我家的栅栏很旧有很多大的缺口，所以我用细铁丝把它的底部加固，认为这样就可以了。当我和康妮去工作和Sophie去上学时，儿子McKenzie 将整天在这个大院子里嬉戏玩耍。）可知，我要求儿子在院子玩，不准许他外出；又根据第二段中句子“I saw McKenzie outside of the fence playing in the daisies”（我看见他在院子外的雏菊丛里玩）可知，他现在在外面，没有按大人的要求待在院子里面玩，他担心父母责骂他，所以看到作者时他会往回跑。故选C。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“To my surprise, he lowered his ears and dejectedly walked over to the spot in the fence he had earlier wriggled through and sat down, looking at me.”（使我感到意外的是，他耷拉着双耳，dejectedly走到他之前扭着身子从栅栏进出的那个地方，坐下来，看着我。）可知，他“耷拉着双耳”说明他是不情愿的，失望的。A. Disappointedly.失望地；B. Passionately.激昂地；C.Delightedly.欢悦地；D.Indifferently. 漠不关心地。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一句“I laughed so hard that I cried”（我笑得眼泪也流出来了。）可知，作者看到儿子可爱的样子，这么会佯装表演，以致于笑得眼泪也流出来，所以作者内心是快乐高兴的。A. Critical.批判的；B. Ironic.讽刺的；C. Lighthearted.愉快的；D. Sympathetic.同情的。只有C符合题意。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。本文讲述的是作者的善于表演的小儿子McKenzie一个人在家里的院子栅栏外玩得很开心，当看到作者开车回来时，他又马上从栅栏的一个洞里钻回家里佯装睡觉的样子，后来又假装刚睡醒，然后当我问他栅栏的洞在哪里时，他又一屁股坐在他钻进钻出的栅栏上的洞里无奈地看着“我”的故事，重在说明儿子“善于表演”，是一个极好的演员天才。“McKenzie，一个出色的演员”最适合作文章标题。故选B。
【点睛】词义猜测题，根据上下文语境得出词义。如本文中的“he lowered his ears” （他“耷拉着双耳”）说明他是不情愿的，从而得出本题dejectedly意为“Disappointedly”。
C
New Zealand plans to bar foreigners from purchasing existing homes. The ban is expected to become law this year. It aims to slow the rising housing prices and protect New Zealanders interested in buying a home.
The Labour Party government believes that foreign investors have pushed many possible first-time home buyers and families out of the housing market. Last year, median housing prices across the country rose by 5.8 percent, to over $405,000. Housing prices rose even more in New Zealand’s capital city, Wellington. Price there rose by more than 18 percent over a 12-month period that ended in June 2019.
The rising prices have pushed home ownership outside the reach of many possible buyers. One home owner told VOA he feels sorry for the younger generation. “I just believe the market has made it impossible for them to get into the housing.” Just 25 years ago, three out of every four New Zealanders lived in their own homes. Now the rate is 64 percent — and falling.
The plan to prevent foreigners from buying existing homes has yet to be approved. But the measure, called the Overseas Investment Amendment Bill, passed its first reading in parliament in December. Restricting foreign ownership of housing has been tried in other countries, including Switzerland. " If foreign investors are looking to put their cash into New Zealand, if it then forces up the price of property, people cannot afford to live anymore,” says Norman Gemmell, chair of public finance at Victoria University.
Critics say foreign investors have had only a small effect on the cost of housing. Low interest rates, limited supply and immigration have also driven up house prices.
Housing prices continue to make solid gains across the country. And for many New Zealanders, the dream of owning a home is as distant as ever.
8. According to the Labour Party government, which is the main factor of the high housing prices?
A. Low interest rates. B. Domestic investors.
C. Foreign buyers. D. Immigration.
9. What is TRUE about the housing market condition in New Zealand?
A. Housing prices rose by over 18 percent over a year.
B. The housing prices of the capital city rose the least.
C. The country has witnessed the highest rise of housing prices up to now.
D. The rate of New Zealanders living in their own houses is on the decrease.
10. What do we know about the ban against foreigners buying houses?
A It came into effect in December.
B. It is supported by people from all walks of life.
C. Similar bans have been adopted in some other countries.
D. It will definitely make owning a home tougher for New Zealanders.
11. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A New Zealanders’ dream of owning a home in New Zealand is distant.
B. A ban on foreign home buyers will take effect in New Zealand.
C. The prices of houses have been rising sharply in New Zealand.
D. To buy or not to buy a house in New Zealand is a question.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The Labour Party government believes that foreign investors have pushed many possible first-time home buyers and families out of the housing market.”（工党政府认为国外投资者把很多首次购房者和家庭挤出了房产市场。）可知工党政府认为国外投资者是导致新西兰房价上涨的主要原因。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Just 25 years ago, three out of every four New Zealanders lived in their own homes. Now the rate is 64 percent — and falling.”（就在25年前，四分之三的新西兰人都居住在自己的房子里。现在这个比率是64%——并且还在下降）可知，新西兰人居住在自己房子里的比率在下降。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“ Restricting foreign ownership of housing has been tried in other countries, including Switzerland.”（包括瑞士在内的其他国家也已经尝试限制外国人在本国拥有住房）可知，限制外国人购房的禁令也在其他国家实施。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，本文是一篇新闻报道，第一段是新闻的导语，即本文的中心段。根据第一段的“New Zealand plans to bar foreigners from purchasing existing homes. The ban is expected to become law this year.”（新西兰计划禁止外国人购买现房，该禁令预计今年生效。）可知，本文主要讲述，新西兰一项关于禁止外国人购买现房的禁令将于今年生效。故选B。

It might have been Jimmy Kimmel, or any other sharp-tongued talk show hosts of late-night TV. In this instance, it was Samantha Bee, stating her opposition to childhood vaccinations humorously. “Who are you going to believe?” she asked. “Leading authorities on medical science, or 800 comments on your cousin’s Facebook page?”
Joking about science can have serious effects, according to studies by communication scholars. Accordingly, since 2013, Paul, a psychological professor, has conducted studies of how satire (讥讽) can influence people’s beliefs about science, which have shown that if you want to interest people in science and shape their views on hot-button science issues, satirical humor can work better.
Many Americans pay little attention to science. Even people who regularly watch TV news receive only scraps of science information in their media diet, because mainstream media outlets devote so little airtime to the subject. On top of that, some Americans may regard science as inaccessible.
Yet satirical humor can reach viewers who would never watch NOVA or read — well, National Geographic.
