Question

【题目】My name is Jake. I’m brown, and rather short, standing just a little past my master’s knees. My friend Andy once took me to a dog show. I’ve never seen so many different-looking dogs in my life! They all looked pretty and handsome, and their masters were very proud of them when they jumped and ran across so many barriers at that dog show. Andy promised that he’d let me join a dog show, too, if the organizers opened a division for my “breed”.

While I was watching that show, I remembered my friends at the pound（走失猫狗的待领处）, where I spent two long weeks. We were kept in cages, and although we were well-fed, every day during those two weeks, I hoped to have someone touch my head and play with me.

You could just imagine how glad I was when, one day, Andy came in with his dad and pointed in my direction. I stood up on my hind legs and did a little jig （一种快步舞）, and then I wagged my tail and tried to chase it. The father and his son kept laughing at what I was trying to do, and in a few minutes, I was riding on their car on the way to my new home. I was Mr. Archer’s gift for Andy’s eighth birthday. I heard him shout that I was the best gift ever!

My favorite amusement is hanging my tongue out of the car window and letting the wind blow on my face. I just love long drives! It is during these times that I think of all my friends whom I left behind at the dog pound. I hope that soon, little boys or girls would also pick them and give them new homes, so they would be able to enjoy walks in the park and trips to the beach, as I do now.

A. Because he wasn’t handsome enough.

【2】What can we learn about Jake when he was at the pound?

C. He had to stand all the time.

D. He was satisfied with his life.

【3】Why did Mr. Archer come to the pound that day?

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】这篇文章是以一条名叫Jack的狗的视角来写的。Jack和主人Andy去观看狗展赛，Jack回忆起了他在走失猫狗的待领处时，虽然有吃有喝，但没有人陪伴和一起玩耍。Andy的父亲来到待领处，把Jack当作生日礼物送给Andy。之后Jack过上了快乐的生活，它也希望它在待领处的伙伴们也同样有一个家。

【1】考察细节推断。从第一段最后Andy promised that he’d let me join a dog show, too, if the organizers opened a division for my “breed”.句意为，Andy向我保证会让我参赛，如果组织者将我的“血统”单分为一类的话。从中可看出，Jack的血统不在被组织方允许参展的范围里，故选B。

【2】考察细节推断。从第二段最后一句话句意为，在待领处时它们被关在笼子里，虽然每天都有人给它们喂食，但Jack希望可以有人摸它的头，和它一起玩耍。从中可以看出，Jack不能自由玩耍，对状况不完全满意。故选Ｂ．

【3】细节推断。第三段倒数第二句话为I was Mr. Archer’s gift for Andy’s eighth birthday. 从中可以看出，Mr. Archer到待领处是给Andy挑选生日礼物的，故选C。

【4】段意理解。通读第四段，段意为Jack最喜欢的活动是兜风旅行，也是在这个过程中它想到了日待领处的伙伴们，希望它们也被小主人领养，可以像Jack一样散步、玩耍。Jack希望待领处的伙伴们也被收养，故选Ｄ。
