One morning, Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog. Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.
Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers（傳單）, and put them in mailboxes. Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog. At the time, Ann’s son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.
Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.
“If it hadn’t come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper. At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.
The next morning Tracy got a call. A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier. Tracy started crying, and told him, “That dog saved my friend’s son.”
Peter drove to Ann’s house to pick up his dog, and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window. After a few moments Peter said, “Maybe Odie was supposed to find you, maybe you should keep it.”
小題1:What did Tracy do after finding the dog?
A．She looked for its owner
B．She gave it to Ann as a gift.
C．She sold it to the dollar store.
D．She bought some food for it.
小題2:How did the dog help save Jack?
A．By breaking the door for Ann.
B．By leading Ann to Jack’s room.
C．By dragging Jack out of the room.
D．By attending Jack when Ann was out.
小題3:What was Ann’s attitude to the dog according to Paragraph 4?
A．SympatheticB．DoubtfulC．TolerantD．Grateful
小題4:For what purpose did Peter call Tracy?
A．To help her friend’s son. B．To interview Tracy
C．To take back his dog. D．To return the flier to her.
小題5:What can we infer about the dog from the last paragraph?
A．It would be given to Odie.
B．It would be kept by Ann’ family.
C．It would be returned to Peter.
D．It would be taken away by Tracy.

小題1:A
小題2:B
小題3:D
小題4:C
小題5:B

【文章大意】這是一篇記敘文。一天，Tracy在當?shù)貙W校附近撿到一只流浪狗，把它交代給鄰居Ann照顧，自己去找狗的主人。Ann答應只照顧這只狗一天。結果在沒找到狗主人之前Ann和她的兩個兒子一直照顧這只狗而且很快喜歡上了它。Ann的大兒子有心臟病，多虧了這只狗幫Ann及時救了她兒子，所以當狗主人來認領狗時全家人都舍不得它走。最終，狗留在了Ann家里，成為家庭一員。
小題1:A考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段開頭句子“Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers…”可知，Tracy照了狗的照片，印了400張傳單。這都是為了找到狗的主人。故選A。
小題2:B考查判斷推理。根據(jù)第三段句子“When she arrived home…where Ann found Jack…”可以推斷，狗Riley是通過向Ann狂叫并領Ann進入Jack的房間讓Ann發(fā)現(xiàn)Jack犯了心臟病從而及時救了Jack的。故選B。
小題3:D考查判斷推理。根據(jù)第四段Ann跟報社說的話，“If it hadn’t …”,如果不是狗領著Ann找到Jack，Jack可能就死了。也就是狗救了Jack的命，所以可以推斷Ann對狗很感激，感激它救了她兒子的命。故選D。
小題4:C考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段句子“A man named Peter recognized his lost dog…”可知，Peter給Tracy打電話的目的是為了領回他丟失的狗。故選C。
小題5:B考查判斷推理。根據(jù)最后一段Peter去Ann家里領回他的狗時看到的場景“saw Thomas and Jack crying…”及他說說的話“Maybe … you should keep it.”可以推斷，狗最終是留著了Ann家里。故選B。

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled（貼標簽）everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled（爬）under her covers, sobbing.
Obviously, that was not something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

The Brown Bear
My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An agreesive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back---- the sign (跡象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod (三腳架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack----- The first time I felf panic.
Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.
小題1:The brown bear approached the family in order to _______.
A．catch shore birdsB．start an attack
C．protect the childrenD．set up a barrier for itself
小題2:The bear finally went away after it _______.
A．felt safeB．got injured
C．found some foodD．took away the camera
小題3:The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ______ .
A．prideB．patience
C．calmnessD．cautiousness
