I stole your dog today. No, I didn’t set a foot on your house, but from the condition of your dog, I can imagine what it looks like…the word “rubbish” comes to mind.

I found her along a road, with a heavy chain wrapped around her neck, still attached to rotten boards from her doghouse. Not only did I know that most of the town people had already ignored her, judging by where I found her, but I knew that if she had gotten into the Woods, the "cross" that she dragged behind her would have wrapped around a tree until starvation or thirst killed her. She has a beautiful name now. Already in the first week she has come to look more like she should. Her eyes sparkle and she has learned to wag her tail in greeting. She has stopped flinching (畏縮) when I make a sudden movement, because she knows now that I won’t beat her, in fact, she rarely leaves my side. She’s even become brave enough to bark at a cat and today I watched from the window as she attempted to play with the other dogs. No, it’s clear she does not miss you or her former life on a chain.

It’s not clear yet whether she'll remain here or whether I’ll find her a loving home where she can count on more individual attention than I can give her, but one thing is certain, this is one bit of stolen “property” who is never returning to you. So sue me, accuse me, plead with the courts that she is rightfully yours ... I'm convinced this is the best “crime” I’ve ever committed. Hardly anything has pleased me more than the day I stole your dog. I need only look into her beautiful brown eyes to know that she’d defend my decision with her life. If we have one prayer, it is that you will not replace her, and if we have one special day to celebrate together, it is the day I stole your dog and the day she stole my heart.

1. What's the author's attitude towards the former owner of the dog?

A. Puzzled. B. Angry. C. Shocked. D. Satisfied.

2.It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. the dog is not lovely

B. the dog tried to find a kind master

C. the dog was treated badly by its former master

D. the author will be charged with stealing a dog

3.All the following statements showed us the dog's recovery from her nature except _______.

A. playing with other dogs

B. barking at a cat

C. not missing her former master

D. waving her tail to make greetings

4.What did the author think of his theft?

A. He was afraid of being punished.

B. He thought he had to do it.

C. He believed that the law would allow him to do so.

D. He did it with pride.

5. What’s the purpose did the author write the passage?

A. To warn the people in the town not to keep dogs.

B. To prove his love to the dog to her former owner.

C. To explain to the police why the dog were in the Woods.

D. To ask people to find the dog a loving home and a owner who loves dogs.

科目:高中英語 來源:2016屆山西古縣、高縣、離石縣八校高三下第一次適應(yīng)性考試英語卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Dad had a green comb (梳子).He bought it when he married Mum. Every night,he would hand me his comb and say. “Good girl, help Daddy clean it, OK?”

I was pleased to do it. At age five, this dull(無趣的) task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap (水龍頭)on and brush the comb carefully. Satisfied that I'd done a good job. I would happily return the comb to Dad. He would smile affectionately (親切地)at me and place the comb on his wallet.

Two years later. Dad started his own business, which wasn't doing so well. That was when things started to change. Dad didn't come home as early and as much as he used to. Mum and I became mad with him for placing our family in trouble. With time, an uncomfortable silence grew between us.

After my graduation, Dad's business was getting back on track. On my 28th birthday. Dad came home early. As usual I helped him carry his bags into his study. When I turned to leave, he said," Hey, would you help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while,then took the comb and headed to the sink.

It hit me then: why, as a child, helping Dad clean his comb was such a pleasure. That routine (習(xí)慣) meant Dad was home early to spend the evening with Mum and me. It meant a happy and loving family.

I passed the clean comb back to Dad. He smiled at me and carefully placed his comb on his wallet. But this time, I noticed something different. Dad had aged. He had wrinkles(皺紋)next to his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before, the smile of a father who just wanted a good life for his family.

1.Why was the author pleased to clean the comb?

A. Because her father forced her to do.

B. Because others things were dull.

C. Because cleaning the comb could make her happy.

D. Because she knew her father would praise her.

2.When was there a silence between the author and her father?

A. Two years after her father started his business.

B. When she didn't clean the comb for her father.

C. When her mom became mad.

D. After her father didn't come home as early as before.

3.It occurred to the author that helping Dad cleaning the comb meant______.

A. she could play with water

B. she could spend more time with her father

C. she could have the chance to see the comb

D. she could take the responsibility for the family

4.From the last paragraph, we can know that_

A. the author understood what Dad did was actually for the family

B. Dad wasn't satisfied with what the author did

C. the author didn't clean the comb carefully

D. Dad didn't like smiling before
