Question

Lulu is a brave pet in our shelter.

As you know, there are a lot of forest fires during the summer season. Many forests are badly 36 by fire each year. Not far from our shelter, a forest caught fire during this hot summer. We were in a heatwave which had been  37  for three days.

Lulu rushed towards the forest where flames sent out a terrible 38 . I no longer had any   hope that Lulu would come  39  to the shelter. In fact, I was waiting for the firemen to announce his 40  in the forest, when suddenly, a fireman burst into my shelter and   41 me that my dog Lulu had  42  to save four kittens who were trapped by the flames. According to the fireman, Lulu seized the kittens, one by one moving them to a  43  place. I immediately accompanied the fireman to the forest to  44  the rescued kittens. When we arrived at the  45  of the incident, we found Lulu was not  46  . Then we heard the  47  of a dog came from the forest barking furiously. I  48  it was my dog Lulu. The fireman followed the tracks of the dog until we found him barking  49  by the side of an injured fireman who was lying on the ground and desperately   50  rescue. Thanks to Lulu, four kittens and a fireman were saved.

That day, I was very 51 of Lulu for his two heroic  52  toward the kittens and the fireman. Lulu showed much compassion（同情）for both animals  53  him and for a human being who was trying to  54  the fire with his colleagues.

This true story of genuine love and compassion shows us that pets are loving,  55  and compassionate. We should love and protect them. One day they could do us a good turn.

Answer 1

36-40 ACADC    41-45 BCABA    46-50 DDBCA    51-55 DBBDC

解析:

36. A。夏季经常发生森林大火，故每年的大火使许多森林严重受损。damage损坏，毁坏；动作的承受者多为物，injure使人受伤；wound 尤指用刀、枪等伤害某人；hurt伤人的身体或感情。

37. C。这里需要一个表示“继续，持续”且相当于不及物动词的词组，只有go on 符合。

38. A。大火应该产生热。B表示“能量”；C表示“发烧”；D表示“烧伤”，均不符合句意。

39. D。根据语境，这里应是等Lulu回屋。

40. C。根据上文可知我没有抱任何指望 Lulu能够重新回来。故此句意思为：其实，我在等待着消防人员来告知我Lulu的死讯。

41. B。能够用于“v. + sb + that从句”结构的只有A、B项；A项不符合语境。

42. C。根据后文，Lulu成功救出了4只小猫。

43. A。safe安全的；cool凉爽的；lonely寂寞的；beautiful漂亮的。根据语境这里应选safe。

44. B。pick out挑出；pick up接；bring on 引起；bring up抚养。根据上下文“我”同消防人员一起去接那四只被Lulu救了的小猫。

45. A。表示“现场”的只有A项。

46. D。根据下文“Then the sound of a dog came from the forest”，可知我们到达事故现场时Lulu并不在那里。

47. D。根据后面的barking，这里应填表示“声音”的词。A表示“说话声，嗓音”，多用于人的声音；B表示“噪音”，与语境不符；C表示“口音”。

48. B。这里的意思是：我听出了是我的狗在叫。acknowledge 承认；recognize分辨出，认出，（此处为听出）；hear听见；listen听,不及物。

49. C。大声地叫，应用loudly。

50. A。根据句意，该消防员身受重伤，只能是被动地等待别人来救援。

51. D。根据语境和搭配应选proud, be proud of表示“对……感到自豪”。

52. B。表示具体的行为用action。

53. B。这里是表示“像他这样的动物”。

54. D。根据上下文及逻辑可知消防人员应在灭火。put off推迟；put away把……收起来；put up举起，张贴；put out扑灭。

55. C。该空前的loving表示“有爱心的”，后面的compassionate表示“有同情心的”，这里应填与其并列的caring“关心他人的”。
