第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分,滿分40分）
When Chato's barking didn't stir Jerrica Seals, the recently adopted dog triednibbling on the teenager's leg, to get the girl out of her burning house.
No one was hurt. Fort Myers firefighters responded at about 7 a.m.
Five people lived in the Garcia home. That was neighbor Janice Hamilton's main concern when she looked out of her window Friday and saw the flames. "I just threw my pants on to run outside and make sure  they knew how many people lived there," Hamilton said. "It was scary."
"Seals called me screaming," said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seal's boyfriend, Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the home. "She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg."
It is said that Garcia's brother brought Chato home several weeks ago after the animal wandered onto a Lehigh Acres construction site. Since then, Vega said, Chato had been mostly quiet－until it mattered. "He doesn't usually bark." Vega said. "He's real friendly."
According to deputy fire chief Steve Clyatt, possibly the fire started because of an inadequate extension cord used on a window air conditioner. More than half of the home was burned down. There was extensive smoke and water damage in the remainder of the structure. Estimates for repair costs were unavailable. "I'd say it's unlikely they will recover this, but I've been surprised before," Clyatt said.
61.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Janice Hamilton Helps Save Neighbors
B. Firefighters Put Out House Fire
C. Dogs Saves Teen Girl From House Fire
D. Family Needs Help Due To House Fire
62.The underlined word "they" in the third paragraph most probably refers to________.
A. other neighbors         B. Hamilton family members
C. Vega and her brother Garcia     D. the firefighters
63.By saying "I'd say it's unlikely they will recover this, but I've been surprised before." in the last paragraph, Clyatt means________.
A. it's a wonder that Seals survived the fire  B. the house was badly damaged
C. such a bad fire was seldom seen      D. Chato is a very clever dog
64.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?
A. The person who called the firefighters.    B. The possible cause of the accident.
C. The relationship between Seals and Garcia.     D. The owner of the house.

     Five people are at our table, including myself. I've already learnt a great deal about them in the short
time we've been at sea,although we rarely meet except at mealtimes.
      First of all, there's Dr Stone. He's a man of about sixty-five, with gray hair and a friendly face. He
gave up his work a short while ago and is now traveling round the world before he retires to some quiet
country village. As a young man, he served for many years as a doctor in the army and visited many
countries. He's told us a great deal about the city to which we are going.
     Then there's "Grandmother".  I call her that because her name escapes me. In spite of being a
grandmother, she looks remarkably young, not more than fifty. She's on her way to visit a daughter who
went to Australia some years ago. Naturally she is very excited at the thought of seeing her again,  and
her three grandchildren, whom she has never seen.
     Then there's a man I don't care for very much, an engineer by the name of Barlow. He has been on
leave in England and is now returning to his work in Singapore.
     The other person who sits at our table is Mrs Hunt. I've found out hardly anything about her. She's
extremely quiet and rarely talks, except to consult the doctor about children's various illnesses.She's on
her way to join her husband in India.
