【題目】Since Abbi Hickman was just a little girl, she has been surrounded by animals. Chickens, cats, dogs, rabbits, and sometimes goats are just some of the animals she cares for. At the age of 9, Abbi went to the Tracy Animal Shelter，in her hometown of Tracy，California，to adopt Sheldon，her favorite cat. There，she saw the poor conditions that the animals were kept in. Abbi knew that it was her duty to take action.

Pins for Pets is Abbi’s solution. For the last three years, she has organized a bowling tournament to raise funds for the Tracy Animal Shelter. She has raised more than $30,000, resulting in a better home for the animals. “Now the shelter is nicer and cleaner and animals have more space. It is far better, a hundred percent better,” Abbi says.

To praise Abbi for her outstanding efforts, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) named her the 2015 ASPCA Tommy P. Monahan Kid of the Year. This award is given to kids who make a substantial (大量的) effort to help animals. Abbi responded to the news of her win with shock. “I was pretty excited. I’ m really honored to receive it,” she says.

Sacrificing time and effort to assist animals can sometimes be difficult, but Abbi hopes to do more. “I want to spread my free services to more shelters. I really just hope people are kinder to animals and respect them more,” says Abbi, sharing her goals for her organization.

At the age of 12, Abbi has already accomplished so much. The advice she has for kids like her, who want to accomplish their goals, is, “Nothing is impossible. You can do anything you put your mind to. Even if it is something small, it can make a huge difference.” Abbi’s work has improved the lives of animals, and she plans to keep coming up with new ways to help them.

【1】When she was very little, Abbi went to the Tracy Animal Shelter and .

A. adopted a dog called Sheldon she liked best

B. raised kids’ awareness of protecting animals

C. found the poor conditions the animals lived in

D. learned some knowledge about some animals

【2】How has Abbi raised money during the last three years?

A. By begging from door to door.

B. By organizing a bowling match.

C. By helping others look after some animals.

D. By turning to the Tracy Animal Shelter for help.

【3】Which of the following can best describe Abbi?

A. Cautious and loyal.

B. Determined and imaginative.

C. Changeable but optimistic.

D. Responsible and Caring.

【4】What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?

A. Abbi’s organization is non-profit.

B. Abbi thinks she has done enough.

C. Helping animals is a piece of cake.

D. People are friendly enough to animals.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】Abbi小時候起就很喜歡動物，她為小動物做了很多事情，去動物收容所收養(yǎng)動物，成立Pins for Pets，組織保齡球比賽為收容所捐款等等。美國防止虐待動物協(xié)會還為她頒了獎，但是她還想做更多，她想把她的免費服務擴展到更多的庇護所，希望人們更加愛護動物尊重它們。

【1】C 細節(jié)理解題。第一段講述，Abbi去特雷西動物收容所去收養(yǎng)小貓，發(fā)現(xiàn)那里的動物居住條件很差。她決心要為此做點什么。

【2】B 細節(jié)理解題。由第二段可知，為了給動物收容所捐款，她組織了保齡球賽。

【3】D推理判斷題。從她為小動物做的努力，如領(lǐng)養(yǎng)小貓，為小動物捐款和號召人們善待尊重小動物等可以看得出，她是有責任心(responsible)和同情心(caring)的

【4】A 推理判斷題。 從最后的兩段話可以看出，為了幫助小動物她付出了大量時間和精力，已經(jīng)很不容易了，但她還想做的更多。她想把她的免費服務擴展到更多的收容所。她成立的組織的宗旨就是希望人們對待動物更友善些，更尊重些�？梢�，她的組織是非營利的愛心組織。
