第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

A cat is recovering in California after surviving a 6,500-mile journey across the Pacific stowed inside a Chinese shipping container without food or water. Staff and volunteers have named it “Ni Hao,” which is Chinese for “hello.”

It was discovered breathing shallowly after a two-week trip across the Pacific Ocean. The cat was seriously suffering from loss of water and starvation when the container was opened in California last week, but was said to be doing well after being sent to the Carson Animal Care Center in Los Angeles. At first it was too weak to stand, but finally took its first steps. Then it ate a good meal and slept soundly. The cat woke up Thursday morning, physically in a better condition than 24 hours ago.

“Ni Hao greeted the medical team with its first miaow this morning and is attempting to stand,” said Marcia Mayeda, head of the Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control. Aaron Reyes, director of the Department, added: “We finally got to hear its voice. It sounds like a single-engine plane.”

Ni Hao is expected to be observed for 60 days but afterwards animal workers will look forward to providing it with a good shelter. “It’s much better for it to recover in a home environment,” Mr Reyes said. “It’s just like a human being in a hospital so we’re hoping to move it.” He added: “Little by little we’re getting there. We’re hoping that under the treatment and with rest, it’ll be able to recover quickly.’’

It was not immediately clear how the cat got into the container.

56. The underlined word “stowed” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_______”.

A. packed B. driven C. raised D. hidden

57. The container to California started on its journey _______.

A. 60 days ago B. one month ago C. 2 weeks ago D. 24 hours ago

58. The cat is likely to be taken care of by in the future.

A. a medical team B. animal worker
