Question

【題目】閱讀下列材料，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題紙上將該選項標號涂黑。
In 2004 ,when my daughter Becky was ten , she and my husband ,Joe, were united in their desire for a dog . As for me , I shared none of their canine lust.
But why , they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it. ” Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes , and yes .”I don’t believe you .” We will . We promise.
They didn’t . From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day ) , neither thought to walk the dog . While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots , to schedule her vet appointments , to feed and clean her , Misty knew this on day one . As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large) , she calculated ,”The medium one is the sucker in the pack .”
Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心靈融合) . She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers , beam her need , and then wait , trusting I would understand — which , strangely , I almost always did . In no time , she became my feet as I read , and splaying across my stomach as I watched television .
Even so , part of me continued to resent walking duty .Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair , I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair , ” I’ d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home .
Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact — my husband ‘ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word : leukemia ( 白血病) .With that , I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital , doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.
Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her
through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.
As the months went by，I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.
When serious illness visits your household, it's , not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you acts differently.
Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe's blood counts or ’one marrow test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She Was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis she reminded me that life goes on.
After Joe died in 2009，Misty slept on his pillow.
I'm grateful一to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I've come to enjoy m’ walks with Misty. As I watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.

（1）B

（4）B
（5）C
（6）C
【解析】：這是一篇記敘文，講述作者從遛狗的體驗中悟出生活的哲理—盡管有時生活艱難、前途難測，但人生總有希望和快樂，
1.B 細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第三段第二行"While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots , to schedule her vet appointments , to feed and clean her "作者慢慢地意識到她要去接父女倆的手尾，比如說安排見寵物醫(yī)生等，這意味著最終將由她來照顧這一只狗.
2.D 猜詞題 根據(jù)這3個單詞的意思不難知道small指的是作者的女兒，medium指的是作者，一個woman and large指的是作者的丈夫。根據(jù)后文他們有了心靈相通不難得出答案小狗認為這個婦女（也就是作者）是最信任的和最好心的。
3.A 推理題 根據(jù)第三段"Misty knew this on day one 它在第一天就知道和”she calculated它在計算“可以得出答案這只狗是非常聰明的．另外也可以根據(jù)意思排除選項BCD．B.Misty could solve math problems就算文章中出見了一個計算的詞語，但也不能夠得出能夠解答數(shù)學題的結論，而且根據(jù)常識也可以把它排除。C.the writer was a slow learner這個內容沒有提及，D.no one walked Misty the first day這個選項的答案，也原文“它在第一天就知道了”是不一致的.
4.B 細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第六段第一句話“Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact — my husband ‘ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word : leukemia ( 白血病) .然后，2007年1月1日，確切地說是丈夫的醫(yī)生宣布了丈夫得了白血病”，說明這一天是一個轉折點，所以可以得出答案為B。
5.C 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第八段第二行" quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded安靜,安靜的時間來收集我的想法“，所有的這一切都是精神上的一些安慰，所以答案選擇 The walk provided her with spiritual comfort.這個散步給她帶來了心靈的安慰.
6.C 推理題 根據(jù)文章最后一句話no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.不管現(xiàn)在是多么困難或者將來是多么的難以預計，總是有一些提取快樂的方法.此題易錯選A雖然這句話是正確的，但是這篇文章并不是在說在困難時期享受快樂。
