Question

【題目】My name is Jake. I’m brown, and rather short, standing just a little past my master’s knees. My friend Andy once took me to a dog show. I’ve never seen so many different-looking dogs in my life! They all looked pretty and handsome, and their masters were very proud of them when they jumped and ran across so many barriers at that dog show. Andy promised that he’d let me join a dog show, too, if the organizers opened a division for my “breed”.

While I was watching that show, I remembered my friends at the pound（走失貓狗的待領(lǐng)處）, where I spent two long weeks. We were kept in cages, and although we were well-fed, every day during those two weeks, I hoped to have someone touch my head and play with me.

You could just imagine how glad I was when, one day, Andy came in with his dad and pointed in my direction. I stood up on my hind legs and did a little jig （一種快步舞）, and then I wagged my tail and tried to chase it. The father and his son kept laughing at what I was trying to do, and in a few minutes, I was riding on their car on the way to my new home. I was Mr. Archer’s gift for Andy’s eighth birthday. I heard him shout that I was the best gift ever!

My favorite amusement is hanging my tongue out of the car window and letting the wind blow on my face. I just love long drives! It is during these times that I think of all my friends whom I left behind at the dog pound. I hope that soon, little boys or girls would also pick them and give them new homes, so they would be able to enjoy walks in the park and trips to the beach, as I do now.

【1】Why didn’t Jake join the dog show?

A. Because he wasn’t handsome enough.

B. Because his “breed” was not included.

C. Because Andy didn’t allow him to join in.

D. Because he couldn’t jump and run across barriers.

【2】What can we learn about Jake when he was at the pound?

A. He couldn’t get enough food.

B. He couldn’t enjoy full freedom.

C. He had to stand all the time.

D. He was satisfied with his life.

【3】Why did Mr. Archer come to the pound that day?

A. To donate some food. B. To volunteer at the pound

C. To find his son a gift. D. To spend his holiday

【4】According to the last paragraph, what wish does Jake have?

A. Having more long drives with Andy.

B. Meeting his friends at the pound again.

C. More boys and girls coming to play with him.

D. His friends at the pound being adopted.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】這篇文章是以一條名叫Jack的狗的視角來寫的。Jack和主人Andy去觀看狗展賽，Jack回憶起了他在走失貓狗的待領(lǐng)處時(shí)，雖然有吃有喝，但沒有人陪伴和一起玩耍。Andy的父親來到待領(lǐng)處，把Jack當(dāng)作生日禮物送給Andy。之后Jack過上了快樂的生活，它也希望它在待領(lǐng)處的伙伴們也同樣有一個(gè)家。

【1】考察細(xì)節(jié)推斷。從第一段最后Andy promised that he’d let me join a dog show, too, if the organizers opened a division for my “breed”.句意為，Andy向我保證會讓我參賽，如果組織者將我的“血統(tǒng)”單分為一類的話。從中可看出，Jack的血統(tǒng)不在被組織方允許參展的范圍里，故選B。

【2】考察細(xì)節(jié)推斷。從第二段最后一句話句意為，在待領(lǐng)處時(shí)它們被關(guān)在籠子里，雖然每天都有人給它們喂食，但Jack希望可以有人摸它的頭，和它一起玩耍。從中可以看出，Jack不能自由玩耍，對狀況不完全滿意。故選Ｂ．

【3】細(xì)節(jié)推斷。第三段倒數(shù)第二句話為I was Mr. Archer’s gift for Andy’s eighth birthday. 從中可以看出，Mr. Archer到待領(lǐng)處是給Andy挑選生日禮物的，故選C。

【4】段意理解。通讀第四段，段意為Jack最喜歡的活動是兜風(fēng)旅行，也是在這個(gè)過程中它想到了日待領(lǐng)處的伙伴們，希望它們也被小主人領(lǐng)養(yǎng)，可以像Jack一樣散步、玩耍。Jack希望待領(lǐng)處的伙伴們也被收養(yǎng)，故選Ｄ。
