Question

7．Goldie's Secret
    She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall．No way could I have sent her away．No way，not me anyway．Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before．"We're moving house．'；"No space for her any more with the baby coming．""We never really wanted her，but what could we have done？She was a present．"People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal．And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen．
    I called her Goldie．If I had known what was going to happen I would have given
her a more creative name．She was so unsettled during those first few days．She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her．There was nothing I could do to make her happy，it seemed．Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's．But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down．Always by my side，whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire．
   That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk．We were a long way from home，when she started barking and getting very restless．Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could．
  By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie．But when I saw her licking （舔） the four puppies （幼犬） I started to feel sympathy towards them．"We didn't know what had happened to her，"said the woman at the door．"I took her for a walk one day，soon after the puppies were born，and she just disappeared．""She must have tried to come back to them and got lost，"added a boy from behind her．'
   I must admit I do miss Goldie，but I've got Nugget now，and she looks just like her mother．And I've learnt a good lesson：not to judge people．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇记叙文，记叙了作者在她家门口有一条狗，起名为戈尔迪，刚开始这只狗在她家很不安，但是几周后戈尔迪平静下来，当作者和戈尔迪一起散步的时候，戈尔迪跑回以前的家（农场）．

解答 56．答案：B．细节理解题．由原文第2段She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her．There was nothing I could do to make her happy，it seemed．Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's．划线句子表明作者同情被遗弃的小狗，希望帮助它高兴起来．
57．答案：A．细节理解题．由第二段第二行"She was so unsettled during those first few days．She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her．"可知在最初几天里，她是如此的不安．她几乎没有吃任何东西，所以选A．
58．答案：D．细节理解题．由倒数第三段最后一句"Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could．"最后我抱不住她了，于是她冲到地上，尽快地跑向远处的一个农舍．可知她找到了自己熟悉的地方，所以选D
59．答案：A．推理判断题．由第一段作者先发现狗、第二段第二行"She was so unsettled during those first few days、第五行But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down．"可以推出答案，所以选A
