My 18-month-old son, Adam, called from the front door.“Look, Mama! Doggie!” I dropped what I was doing and stuck my head out the door.Brandy, our next-door neighbor’s 11-year-old dog, was over again.“Go away!” I shouted.

Brandy’s owner had died about a month earlier.The woman’s family had emptied the house and stuck a “For Sale” sign in the front yard, but the family had left old Brandy behind.For weeks, she’d been wandering around the neighborhood.

It wasn’t that I disliked dogs or anything like that.I just didn’t think about them very much.I never had a dog growing up and had never thought to get one.

Brandy went away and I stayed outside with Adam.Then the phone rang.I went inside to take the call.When I came back, Adam was gone.I searched the yard, front and back, then the basketball court and public pool.No trace of him.I was so nervous that I ran home and called the police, then my husband.

Police searched the neighborhood.Suddenly I heard another sound: a dog barking.“It’s coming from the woods,” one of my neighbors said.We followed the barking to a wooded cliff(悬崖).There we found my son, and he was just inches away from the edges of the cliff, fast asleep.Brandy was beside him, leaning(倚靠)against him to keep him away from the edge.When I picked Adam up, Brandy sank down on her side, breathing quickly.She must have been holding Adam there for hours!

I thanked the police and brought Adam and Brandy back to our house.She hesitated a moment on our doorstep, no doubt remembering the time I’d driven her away.

“Come on, girl,” I said.“This is your home now.” Brandy stepped in, and once she saw she was really welcome, she relaxed and lay down on the floor just inside the door.She’d done a great thing, and I wondered if she knew it .She’d certainly touched me in a way that no animal ever had.What a pity a dog like Brandy had been left behind!

1.What is the correct order for the events in the story about Brandy?

a.She was left behind by her owner’s family.

b.She stepped into the woman’s house.

c.She appeared at the woman’s front door.

d.She stayed beside the woman’s son for hours.

A.d, a, b, c B.a, c, b, d

C.c, d, b, a D.a, c, d, b

2.What did the woman do when she first saw Brandy?

A.She gave her some food.

B.She drove her away.

【解析】

试题分析:本文讲述的是“我”对流浪狗布朗迪从最开始的嫌弃到最后的收留这一小故事。

1.1】D细节理解题。根据第二段:The woman’s family had emptied the house and stuck a “For Sale” sign in the front yard, but the family had left old Brandy behind.句意:女人的家人们清空了她的房子并且在她的院子前树了一块写有“出售”的牌子,但是她的家人把布朗迪留在了后面。可知顺序排第一的是a;根据第一段:My 18-month-old son, Adam, called from the front door.“Look, Mama! Doggie!” I dropped what I was doing and stuck my head out the door.Brandy, our next-door neighbor’s 11-year-old dog, was over again.句意:我十八个月大的儿子,亚当在前门呼喊着:“看!妈妈!小狗!”我扔下手中的事情,把头伸出门外——我们旁边的邻居家的十一岁大的狗又一次的来到了我家门口。有下文可知布朗迪是因为被主人的家人抛弃了才出现在了作者家门口,故c排在a后面;根据第五段:We followed the barking to a wooded cliff(悬崖).There we found my son, and he was just inches away from the edges of the cliff, fast asleep.Brandy was beside him, leaning(倚靠)against him to keep him away from the edge.When I picked Adam up, Brandy sank down on her side, breathing quickly.She must have been holding Adam there for hours!句意:我们跟着犬吠声来到了一个树木繁茂的悬崖。在那里我看到了我们的儿子,那时他已经睡着了,在离悬崖边缘只有几英寸的地方。布朗迪在他的身旁,靠着他,使他远离悬崖的边缘。当我把亚当抱了起来,布朗迪一下子摊在了地上,呼吸地非常迅速。她肯定支持亚当了几个小时。故d排在c后面;根据第七段:Brandy stepped in, and once she saw she was really welcome, she relaxed and lay down on the floor just inside the door. 句意:布朗迪走了进来,一旦她意识到自己是真的收到了欢迎,她立马放松了下来并且在门口躺了下来。故b排在最后;根据顺序,故选D.

2.B细节理解题。根据第一段:Brandy, our next-door neighbor’s 11-year-old dog, was over again.“Go away!” I shouted.句意:我们旁边的邻居家的十一岁大的狗又一次的来到了我家门口。“走开!”我叫嚣道。故选B.

3.3】B细节理解题。根据第五段:Suddenly I heard another sound: a dog barking. We followed the barking to a wooded cliff(悬崖).There we found my son, and he was just inches away from the edges of the cliff, fast asleep.句意:突然我听到了一个声音:狗吠声。我们跟着犬吠声来到了一个树木繁茂的悬崖。在那里我看到了我们的儿子,那时他已经睡着了,离悬崖的边缘只有几英寸。故选B.

Years ago, I worked at the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was _that they could, at any time, break free, strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the for this.

He said, “When they were very young we used the size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can hold them, so they never try.”

Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you once before? Do you often tell “I cannot dance” or “I’m not good at math”?

These are of self limiting beliefs. You must realize you’re for them. A limiting belief that says you’re poor at math may have as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which you. The cool thing is that because you create the ___you can choose to change it! Here is how:

First, it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your , your subconsciousness will make this by driving you to act. That might be to take a math course or to go online help, etc. Gradually you’ll really see your math skills are .

This is such a simple process that you can it today. Don’t be like the poor elephant and make your life at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.

Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.

Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.

1.We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.

A. depend on one sense in choosing food

B. are not satisfied with their food

C. choose food in similar ways

D. eat entirely different food

2.Which of the following eats only one type of food?

A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird.

C. The bear. D. The fox.

3. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.

A. the season changes

B. the food color changes

C. they move to different places

D. they are attracted by different smells

4. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.

A. food is chosen for a good reason

B. French and British food is good

C. some people have few choices of food

D. some people care little about healthy diet
