Question

【题目】阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
In 2004 ,when my daughter Becky was ten , she and my husband ,Joe, were united in their desire for a dog . As for me , I shared none of their canine lust.
But why , they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it. ” Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes , and yes .”I don’t believe you .” We will . We promise.
They didn’t . From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day ) , neither thought to walk the dog . While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots , to schedule her vet appointments , to feed and clean her , Misty knew this on day one . As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large) , she calculated ,”The medium one is the sucker in the pack .”
Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合) . She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers , beam her need , and then wait , trusting I would understand — which , strangely , I almost always did . In no time , she became my feet as I read , and splaying across my stomach as I watched television .
Even so , part of me continued to resent walking duty .Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair , I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair , ” I’ d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home .
Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact — my husband ‘ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word : leukemia ( 白血病) .With that , I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital , doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.
Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her
through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.
As the months went by，I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.
When serious illness visits your household, it's , not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you acts differently.
Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe's blood counts or ’one marrow test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She Was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis she reminded me that life goes on.
After Joe died in 2009，Misty slept on his pillow.
I'm grateful一to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I've come to enjoy m’ walks with Misty. As I watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.

【解析】：这是一篇记叙文，讲述作者从遛狗的体验中悟出生活的哲理—尽管有时生活艰难、前途难测，但人生总有希望和快乐，
1.B 细节理解题 根据第三段第二行"While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots , to schedule her vet appointments , to feed and clean her "作者慢慢地意识到她要去接父女俩的手尾，比如说安排见宠物医生等，这意味着最终将由她来照顾这一只狗.
2.D 猜词题 根据这3个单词的意思不难知道small指的是作者的女儿，medium指的是作者，一个woman and large指的是作者的丈夫。根据后文他们有了心灵相通不难得出答案小狗认为这个妇女（也就是作者）是最信任的和最好心的。
3.A 推理题 根据第三段"Misty knew this on day one 它在第一天就知道和”she calculated它在计算“可以得出答案这只狗是非常聪明的．另外也可以根据意思排除选项BCD．B.Misty could solve math problems就算文章中出见了一个计算的词语，但也不能够得出能够解答数学题的结论，而且根据常识也可以把它排除。C.the writer was a slow learner这个内容没有提及，D.no one walked Misty the first day这个选项的答案，也原文“它在第一天就知道了”是不一致的.
4.B 细节理解题，根据第六段第一句话“Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact — my husband ‘ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word : leukemia ( 白血病) .然后，2007年1月1日，确切地说是丈夫的医生宣布了丈夫得了白血病”，说明这一天是一个转折点，所以可以得出答案为B。
5.C 细节理解题．根据第八段第二行" quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded安静,安静的时间来收集我的想法“，所有的这一切都是精神上的一些安慰，所以答案选择 The walk provided her with spiritual comfort.这个散步给她带来了心灵的安慰.
6.C 推理题 根据文章最后一句话no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.不管现在是多么困难或者将来是多么的难以预计，总是有一些提取快乐的方法.此题易错选A虽然这句话是正确的，但是这篇文章并不是在说在困难时期享受快乐。
