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(樣子) 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(以前的) 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(焦躁不安的). 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.

【解析】

試題分析:本文講述了作者與一只被遺棄的小狗的故事,說明一個(gè)道理:不應(yīng)該對(duì)他人的行為輕易下定論。1.There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous(以前的) owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down我沒什么可以做的使他高興的事情,它好像指導(dǎo)它以前的主人發(fā)生了什么事情,但最終在第一周的后幾天他平靜了下來,由此可以看出作者對(duì)小狗充滿了憐憫和同情,故選B。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air(樣子) of sadness about her.在前幾天他機(jī)會(huì)什么都不吃,一副傷心的樣子, 與選項(xiàng)A焦慮相對(duì)應(yīng),故選

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容 : 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 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. '當(dāng)我到達(dá)農(nóng)場(chǎng)時(shí)我很累并且擔(dān)心Goldie.但是當(dāng)我看到它的時(shí)候它正在舔她的幼犬。我在幼犬出生后帶她去三步,她走失了,她一定是努力回來找他們且迷路的, 由此判斷原因是D正確。

閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

Have you been asked for money by some beggars who have disabilities while you’re

enjoying shopping? Do you have any pity for that kind of people or just feel afraid? For whatever reasons the number of disabled beggars bumming(行乞) along the street has increased rapidly.

Why are there so many disabled people begging in the street? The reasons are so various that we don’t need to understand. But we know that they do not lead an easy life. So we should help them in some ways.

The treatment for disabled people should go like this: First,accept them. Don’t be afraid of looking at the terrible shape of disabled. Try to treat

them equally. Because they are a part of the society.we can’t abandon them. The second is to help them as much as we could. If you can be a volunteer and do some work for the disabled people that would be very nice. That does good not only to disabled people but also to yourself,because you will feel good after your kind action.

So give an air of warmth to disabled people,and the world would be much better.

When I was 13, my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and Beatles. I wrote fan letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections. I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities (名人) ; my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favorite movie stars and pop singers. I drove my mother crazy! But after a few years, my obsession (迷戀) stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with "real" boys.

In the 35 years since I was a teenager, celebrity worship (崇拜) has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows, and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet. It's no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs often are filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.

Celebrity worship syndrome (綜合征) is now considered a personality disorder. While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars, parents should try to monitor everything their child finds interesting. Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little interest in school or withdrawing from the family. When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment, this is considered normal celebrity worship. However, when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star, this may be the time for concern.

Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low self confidence and depression. Teens who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.

1.We learn from the second paragraph that ____.

A.teens today are not so obsessed with celebrities

B.the author is surprised at celebrity worship

C.the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship today

D.celebrities expose their lives too much

2.Parents should become concerned when their children ____.

A.talk a lot about celebrities with others

B.put up celebrity posters in their bedrooms

C.ask to go to their favorite star's concert

D.desire a close personal relationship with their favorite star

3.The last paragraph implies that ____.

A.parents should not care too much about a child's celebrity worship

B.children can normally get out of celebrity worship when they are older

C.children with celebrity worship usually have high opinion of themselves

D.celebrity worship syndrome can be a serious problem if left overlooked

4.What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?

A.The harm of celebrity worship syndrome.

B. What to do with children's celebrity worship syndrome.

C. More signs of celebrity worship syndrome.

D. Who will suffer most from celebrity worship syndrome.
