Question

On the Iraq-Syria border, a pack of wild dogs circled a group of American soldiers for food. The 1 of the pack was a gray-and-white dog. The soldiers 2 him Nubs. Nubs was shaking and 3  able to stand. Marine major Brian Dennis looked closer and saw that there was a knife wound 4 his chest.

      Dennis couldn’t 5 seeing the dog suffer. He and his men immediately treated the wound, and gave Nubs oral medicine. Nubs pulled through but was still 6. The next day, the team had to leave. Ten days later, Dennis’s unit was back and so was Nubs. He was still 7, but the men fed him and played with him.

   Before long the unit once again 8 an outpost (前哨) 70 miles away. Nubs, slowly but 9 tracked them far into the trackless wasteland until the men lost 10 of him. Two days later, beyond Dennis’s 11, he saw Nubs just outside the outpost. The dog had 12 him across 70 miles of frozen desert to meet the friend who had saved his life. From then on Nubs and the men slept in the same place, and ran around in the same ruins.

   Until a(n) 13 came down from above that they should not be allowed to have pets, Dennis decided to make sure the dog 14 continue to live the good life. So he quickly 15 $4,000 from his family and friends to fly Nubs to 16.

   A month later, when Dennis and the dog were 17 in California, at first Nubs didn’t recognize the guy. 18 within seconds , the dog flew into Dennis’s arms, 19 up again and again to lick his friend’s face.

   A little care and concern in the middle of war will not save a 20 world. But small stories, like the story of a soldier and a dog, hold a promise of a harmonious world.

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了一位名叫Dennis的士兵在伊拉克和叙利亚边界的地方救了一只受伤的狗，经过医治渐渐的恢复，当这名士兵随部队离开的时候，这只狗跟着他们的足迹一直跟随在后面，当上级规定部队不允许养宠物的时候，Dennis以把狗送到了美国，一年之后，他们在加利福尼亚相见了，这只狗非常亲热的添着Dennis的脸。故事讲述了一个小道理，也许在战争的中期一点关怀不能拯救一个充满暴力的世界，但是像这样的小故事给了人一个和谐世界的希望。

1.B考查名词词义。句意为：在伊拉克和叙利亚的边界，一群狗围着一队美国士兵正在寻找食物。领头是一只灰白相见的狗，此处是指领头的狗。guider n 指导者，导游；leader        n 领导者，领袖，指挥者；major n 成年人，主修科目；helper n 助手，帮手。故答案应为B。

2.A 考查动词词义与辨析。 句意为：士兵们把这只领头的狗叫这Nubs。called vt call sb /sth sth 把某人或某人唤作----；said vt 说；told vt 告诉；spoke vt 讲话。由句意可知，此处应是把这只狗唤作Nubs。                                                                                                                                           

3.C 考查副词词义及辨析。Nubs浑身颤抖几乎不能站立。Dennis走向前去看见了他的胸前有一处刀伤。mostly adv 主要地，多半地；certainly adv当然地，必定地；barely adv 仅仅，勉强，几乎不; clearly adv 清楚地，清晰地。此处表否定，几乎不能站立，故答案应为C。

4.A 考查介词的用法。句意为：胸部有一处刀伤，固定结构in the chest. 故答案应为A。

5.B 考查动词词义。句意为：Dennis不能忍受看见Nubs所受的痛苦。Dennis和他的队友立刻治疗他的创伤，给他吃了一些口服药。help vt帮助; stand vt 忍受；admitvt 承认；avoid vt 避免。Dennis不忍心去看，故答案为B。

6.D 考查介词短语的含义及语境。句意为：尽管Nubs度过了难关，但是他仍然很痛苦。in vain白费地，徒劳地； in danger 处在危险中 ；in surprise 惊奇地；in pain 痛苦，从下文可知他还很虚弱，可知这里应是还在痛苦中，故答案为D。

7.A 考查形容词词义及语境的理解。句意为：十天之后，Dennis和他的团队回来了，Nubs也回来了，他身体仍然很弱，Dennis和他的队友喂了他还陪他一起玩儿。weak adj 差地，虚弱地；sad adj 悲哀地，难过地；alive adj 活着的；alone adj 单独地，独自地。故答案应为A。

8.C 考查动词短语的含义。句意为：不久之后，Dennis和他的团队不得不再次去七十英里外的前哨。made up 弥补，编造，化妆；returned from 从---地方回来；left for动身去某个地方； took over 接管，接收。此处表示动身去某个地方，故答案应为C。

9.B 考查副词词义。句意为：Nubs走得很慢，但很决然地跟着他们走了很远，走到了人迹罕至的不毛之地。aimlessly adv 漫无目的地，无目标地；determinedly adv 决然地，断然地；unhappily adv 不高兴地；carefully adv 仔细地，小心地。由题意答案为B。

10.C 考查名词的词义。句意为：Nubs走到了人迹罕至的地方，直到士兵们消失在他的视野里。touch n  接触，触觉；footprint n 足迹，脚印；sight n 视野，视力；control n 控制，管理。由题意答案为C.

11.A 考查名词的词义。句意为：超出了Dennis 的想象，Nubs出现在了前哨的外面.Imagination n 想象，设想；ability n能力；understanding n 理解力；power n 力量，权力。此处表示出乎意料的意思。

12.D 考查动词词义。句意为：这只狗跟随着他穿越了七十英里的冰冷的的荒漠来见曾经救过他一命的老朋友。saved vt 拯救；shown vt 显示；found vt 发现； followed vt 伴随，跟随。答案应为D。

13.D考查名词词义。句意为：从上面下达了一条命令，（所有士兵）都不得养宠物.文中有above上面，下文中“不允许”等意思可知，应是上面发布了命令。Signal n 信号，符号；project n 工程，项目；plan n 计划，安排；order n 命令。故答案应为D。

【小题 14】B 考查情态动词的用法。Dennis必须确保这只狗会继续过着幸福的生活。need需要；不符合题意；would 会，将会；might 也许；从文中可知这只狗本来都是很幸福的，有人在照顾他。should 应该，从道理上，理所应该之意，因此不符合题意。故答案应为B。

14.C 考查动词的词义。句意为：Dennis很块地从他的家人和朋友那里募集了4000美元。从下文看是让狗去一个好的地方，缺少钱，所以应为募集钱。rose vt 升起，上升；arose vt 出现，引发；raised vt 举起，使上升；募集，募捐；饲养；aroused vt 唤醒。故答案为C。

15.B 考查文章的理解，上下文的联系。从下文中的加来福尼亚California可知，就是把狗送往了美国。Britain 英国；America       美国；Iraq 伊拉克；Syria 叙利亚。故答案为B。

16.A 考查动词词义。句意为：一个月之后，当Nubs和Dennis在加利福尼亚再次相聚的时候----。reunited vt 使相聚，使结合；recalled         vt回想起，记起；restored vt 修复，恢复健康reminded vt 提醒，使想起。故答案为A。

17.C 考查连词的用法。句意为：当Nubs和Dennis刚相见的时候，Nubs认不出了Dennis，但是一小会儿的功夫，Nubs就冲进了Dennis的怀抱。此处表示转折的意思。故答案应为C。So        因此；And 顺承关系；But 转折关系，但是；Then 然后，接着。

18.A考查动词的词义。句意为：狗一次又一次的跳起来，去添着Dennis的脸。（在和他亲热）。jumping vt 跳，跳起      ；climbing vt 爬，攀登；cheering vt 欢呼，活跃（cheer up 振奋起来，和后面的again and again意思不搭配）；bringing vt 带来。故答案为A。

19.D 考查形容词的词义。句意为：在战争中一个小小的关怀和关心不能挽救一个暴力的世界，但也能给人一个和谐世界的希望。peaceful adj 和平的，安静的；competitive 有竞争力的；fantastic极好的，奇异的；violent adj暴力的，血腥的。故答案为D。
