解析:

讓小孩子飼養(yǎng)小狗有好處,這有什么稀奇的呢?稀奇的是學(xué)校這樣做!

11、詞義比較前后照應(yīng)       有老師說(shuō)自從Smith班上增添了幾個(gè)新的學(xué)生——拉布拉多獵狗和它們的父親后,她就看到班上有了很大的起色。 promotion促進(jìn),提升;progress進(jìn)步, 發(fā)展;disturbance騷動(dòng),干擾;disappointment失望。

12、常識(shí)運(yùn)用       Smith班上的七個(gè)學(xué)員,是訓(xùn)練狗(dog,Labrador)的人(human)。這篇文章中一定要注意代詞所指,是指狗,還是指訓(xùn)練狗的學(xué)員。

13、詞義辨析       Smith班上的七個(gè)學(xué)員過(guò)去有違紀(jì)問(wèn)題的歷史記錄。problems問(wèn)題,難題,總是與“困難”相聯(lián)系著,一般指有待解決的問(wèn)題;questions問(wèn)題, 總是與“疑問(wèn)”相聯(lián)系,一般指有待回答的問(wèn)題;issues問(wèn)題,一般指引起“爭(zhēng)端的問(wèn)題;troubles問(wèn)題,一般指待來(lái)“麻煩,煩惱”的問(wèn)題。

14、詞義辨析       從這七個(gè)學(xué)員訓(xùn)練狗學(xué)會(huì)順從中,他們自己的行為也有了改進(jìn)。A. habit習(xí)慣,習(xí)性,癖好,指經(jīng)過(guò)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間養(yǎng)成的行為習(xí)慣;attitude態(tài)度,意見(jiàn),指人們對(duì)某件事的心理取向;action 動(dòng)作,行動(dòng);behaviour 行為, 舉止, 習(xí)性,指人們的日常行為,舉止情況。

15、邏輯推理詞義比較       訓(xùn)狗師教(teach)給學(xué)員一個(gè)新的技術(shù),學(xué)員們就用在狗身上。guide指導(dǎo),帶領(lǐng);permit 許可, 允許, 準(zhǔn)許;aid幫助,援助。

16、常識(shí)運(yùn)用詞義比較       早晨,被訓(xùn)練的狗出門(mén)去,就非常象(much as)父母帶著孩子到托兒所去一樣。such as諸如此類(lèi)的東西;so that為了,以便,表示目的意義;even if即使,即便,表示讓步關(guān)系。

17、邏輯推理常識(shí)運(yùn)用       Smith說(shuō)當(dāng)她的狗有了小狗崽,她自己的孩子對(duì)這些小狗崽作出了很乖(well)的反應(yīng),她因而有了這樣的想法。

18、語(yǔ)句連貫   她請(qǐng)教了學(xué)校的心理學(xué)家,學(xué)校把她的想法提交到了學(xué)校董事會(huì)。前后句子表示順承遞進(jìn)關(guān)系,故選and。But表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系;so,because表示因果關(guān)系。

19、邏輯推理前后照應(yīng)       同時(shí)還把贊同這個(gè)計(jì)劃的學(xué)員的信件上交學(xué)校董事會(huì)。與文章第一段聯(lián)系起來(lái)。象Smith小孩一樣的學(xué)員無(wú)法修訂、校訂(revise)和描述(describe),當(dāng)然不會(huì)反對(duì)(oppose),而是支持、擁護(hù)(support)這個(gè)計(jì)劃。

20、邏輯推理詞義比較       寵物臨床醫(yī)學(xué)家說(shuō),你現(xiàn)在教給學(xué)生的就是讓學(xué)員學(xué)會(huì)自我控制(self-control),你作出的決定很有重要性。self-criticism自我批評(píng);self-respect自我尊重自尊, 自重;self-importance自尊, 自負(fù), 自大。

Poet Dean Young has dealt with impermanence( 無(wú)常)a lot in his career, but it's a particularly strong theme in Young's latest collection, Fall Higher.The new collection was published in April, just days after the poet received a life-saving heart transplant (移植) after about a decade of living with a weakening heart condition.
Young, whose work is often frank and rich with twisted humor, tells NPR's Renee Montaigne that as he recovers from operation, he's also slowly returning to his everyday writing habits.
"I'm getting back to it," Young says."Not with the sort of concentration and sort of flame that I look forward to in the future, but I am blackening some pages."
And on those blackened pages you'll find poems like " How Grasp Green," which carries themes of springtime and rebirth.It's one of the first poems Young has written since his transplant.
It's easy to spot clues (線索) to Young's awful health situation in the lines of his poetry. Fall Higher's "Vintage" opens with, "Because I will die soon, I fall asleep, during the lecture on the ongoing emergency." And the poem "-The Rhythms Pronounce Themselves Then Vanish—published in The /Vew Barker in February —opens with the CT scan that revealed Young's heart condition.
Young says "Rhythms" was written about the beginning of his illness.
"I had been having a lot of physical pain so that I could hardly walk a block.I got sent to a gastroenterologist and he did a series of tests, and then the tests came back to me and it was all heart related," he says." And the outlook wasn't good.
Hearts tend to come up a lot in poetry, and that's especially true of Young's work, which has clearly been influenced by the troubles of his own heart,
"A lot of times, it's not just a metaphor (比喻) ," Young says."For me, it's an actual concern because I've been living with this disease for over 10 years.My father died of heart problems when he was 49, so it's been a sort of shadowy concern for me my whole life.
But Young's poems also deal with more abstract matters of the heart.He wrote Fall Higher's, "Late Valentine" for his wife."We've been married since late November and most of it has been spent in the hospital," Young says of his marriage to poet Laurie Saurborn Young, who says " 'Late Valentine' is very sweet.
Today, Young says, his friends can't help but comment on how pink his cheeks have become—the result of a new heart and better circulation (循環(huán)).But Young wrote the poems of Fall Higher before the transplant, at a time when, at its weakest point, his old heart was pumping at 8 percent of what it should have been.
He was staring death in the face—but he was still able to look at his life and see art
in it.
Young's work also touches on themes of randomness and fate —two factors that contributed to him getting a second chance in the form of a new heart from a 22-year-old student.
"Everything in life is molecules (分子) bouncing against molecules," Young says, and having a successful transplant is no different." Somebody had to die; it had to be a fit; my blood and his blood had to not have an argument; the heart had to be transported; I had to get it."
There were, in short, an amazing number of variables (變量) that led to Young
being here today.
"I just feel enormous gratitude," he says of his donor (捐獻(xiàn)者)."He gave me a heart so I'm still alive-"I'm sure I'm going to think about this person for the rest of my life."
【小題1】The poetry collection Fall Higher _______.

A.was published in February
B.refers darkness as its main theme
C.is Young's latest collection of poetry
D.was written after Young's heart transplant
【小題2】We can learn from the text that Young _______.
A.was born with heart disease
B.received a heart transplant in February
C.married a female poet after he wrote "Late Valentine"
D.wrote a poem for his wife in his collection
【小題3】What does the writer try to say in Paragraph 3?

B.The writer had less enthusiasm than before, but he still kept on writing.
C.The writer devoted more time to poems, so he grasped a good chance.

Poet Dean Young has dealt with impermanence (無(wú)常) a lot in his career, but it’s a particularly strong theme in Young’s latest collection, Fall Higher. The new collection was published in April, just days after the poet received a life-saving heart transplant (移植) after about a decade of living with a weakening heart condition.
Young, whose work is often frank and rich with twisted humor, tells NPR’s Renee Montagne that as he recovers from operation, he’s also slowly returning to his everyday writing habits.
“I’m getting back to it,” Young says, “not with the sort of concentration and sort of flame that I look forward to in the future, but I am blackening some pages.”
And on those blackened pages you’ll find poems like “How Grasp Green”, which carries themes of springtime and rebirth. It’s one of the first poems Young has written since his transplant.
It’s easy to spot clues (線索) to Young’s awful health situation in the lines of his poetry.
Fall Higher’s “Vintage” opens with “Because I will die soon, I fall asleep, during the lecture on the ongoing emergency.” And the poem “The Rhythms Pronounce Themselves Then Vanish”—published in The New Yorker in February—opens with the CT scan that revealed Young’s heart condition.
Hearts tend to come up a lot in poetry, and that’s especially true if Young’s work, which has clearly been influenced by the troubles of his own heart.
“A lot of times, it’s not just a metaphor (暗喻),” Young says. “For me, it’s an actual concern because I’ve been living with this disease for over 10 years. My father died of heart problems when he was 49, so it’s been a sort of shadowy concern for me my whole life.
But Young’s poems also deal with more abstract matters of the heart. He wrote Fall Higher’s, “Late Valentine” for his wife. “We’ve been married since late November and most of it has been spent in the hospital,” Young says of his marriage to poet Laurie Saurborn Young, who says “‘Late Valentine’ is very sweet.”
His work also touches on themes of randomness and fate—two factors that contributed to him getting a second chance in the form of transplanting a new heart from a 22-year-old student. “I just feel enormous gratitude,” he says of his donor (捐獻(xiàn)者). “He gave me a heart so I’m still alive … I’m sure I’m going to think about this person for the rest of my life.”
