17、g with her when I go on holiday. Donna also helps to train hunting dogs, but recently, her boyfriend told me, she returned home from a farm in tears after being told to hit some dogs. “She wasnt being asked to hit them because they didnt behave well,” he said. “She was told to punch these puppies wi
18、th a closed fist simply to let them know who is boss,” Donnar refused. Good for Donna. In my view, you hurt an animal for only two reasons: as a way to teach it an important lesson, such as not to run into the road; or because you like hurting animals. Last summer, I attended a horse race. I dont kn
19、ow much about horses, but I was alarmed when I saw a horse with a huge ulcer(溃疡) on its leg. “Surely this horse wont race?” I asked. I was very surprised that nobody in the crowd seemed concerned. The horse began the race, but later it fell heavily. It had broken its leg. The next thing I saw was it
20、s dead body in a bag, being driven past. No one seemed to care, except those whod bet on it. I know people care for horse racing, but do they really care for horses?I doubt it. Oh, but its tradition, I hear you say. Wouldnt the world be a boring place if we didnt occasionally hit, shoot and chase an
21、imals? Traditions are made by man and can be unmade. It was once acceptable to kill servants when their master died, to visit the mental hospitals to laugh at the patients, or to watch public execution(执行死刑). Nor should it be forgotten that in our progress to a more civilized world, animals have pla
22、yed an important role; they have fed us, carried us, worked for us, rescued us, died for us and sometimes just saved us from loneliness. Surely by now they deserve our kindness. At the very least, they deserve our respect. 24. Donna was asked to hit the young dogs becauseA. it was a way to train the

25、. Show animals the respect they deserveB. Lets protect the endangered animalsC. No one cares for animals nowadaysD. The stories between animals and peopleCUsing too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear way s that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our w
26、ater supply in less obvious way. You may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less usable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can
27、 flow into the ground to become groundwater. Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages. Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干早) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs. T
28、hinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day!This shows how much we depend on water to live, but theres a lot we can do to lower the number. You can take steps to save water in you home, To start w
29、ith, use the same glass for drinking water all day. W ash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away. 28. Which of the following is m
30、ost likely to lead to less groundwater?A. Using river water. B. Paving parking lots. C. Throwing batteries away. D. Throwing rubbish into lakes. 29. What can be inferred from the text?A.
