　　(2024·山東·A)

　　One morning, Ann's neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school.She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog.Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.

　　Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers(傳單), and put them in mailboxes.Meanwhile, Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies, warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog.At the time, Ann's son Thomas was 10 years old, and Jack, who was recovering from a heart operation, was 21 years old.

　　Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley.When she arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her.As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys' room where Ann found Jack suffering a heart attack.Riley ran over to Jack, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.

　　“If it hadn't come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died，” Ann reported to a local newspaper.At this point, no one had called to claim the dog, so Ann decided to keep it.

　　The next morning Tracy got a call.A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier.Tracy started crying, and told him, “That dog saved my friend's son.”

　　Peter drove to Ann's house to pick up his dog, and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window.After a few moments Peter said, “Maybe Odie was supposed to find you, maybe you should keep it.”

　　文章大意：本文講述了一只走失的狗和收留它的人家之間發生的感人故事。

　　7．What did Tracy do after finding the dog?

　　A．She looked for its owner.

　　B．She gave it to Ann as a gift.

　　C．She sold it to the dollar store.

　　D．She bought some food for it.

　　答案：A　細節理解題。根據第二段中“Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers, and put them in mailboxes.”可知，Tracy拍了狗的照片，并且印了400份招領傳單來尋找狗的主人。

　　8．How did the dog help save Jack?

　　A．By breaking the door for Ann.

　　B．By leading Ann to Jack's room.

　　C．By dragging Jack out of the room.

　　D．By attending Jack when Ann was out.

　　答案：B　細節理解題。根據第三段中的“When she arrived home from work, ...where Ann found Jack suffering a heart attack.”狗通過撞門并且瘋狂大叫引起Ann的注意，然后又沖進孩子們的房間，讓Ann及時發現了生病的杰克。

　　9．What was Ann's attitude to the dog according to Paragraph 4?

　　A．Sympathetic. B．Doubtful.

　　C．Tolerant. D．Grateful.

　　答案：D　細節理解題。第四段中的“If it hadn't come to get me, the doctor said Jack would have died”為虛擬語氣的表達，意為：如果它(狗)沒有來找我，醫生說杰克可能已經死了。Ann的話充滿了對這只狗的感激之情。

　　10．For what purpose did Peter call Tracy?

　　A．To help her friend's son.

　　B．To interview Tracy.

　　C．To take back his dog.

　　D．To return the flier to her.

　　答案：C　細節理解題。根據上文Tracy發出了招領傳單，而在第五段中“A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier.”彼得認出了他丟失的狗，所以打了電話。

　　11．What can we infer about the dog from the last paragraph?

　　A．It would be given to Odie.

　　B．It would be kept by Ann's family.

　　C．It would be returned to Peter.

　　D．It would be taken away by Tracy.

　　答案：B　推理判斷題。在最后一段中，當彼得看到兩個孩子的反應時，他的話暗示了他的Odie(寵物狗)就應該由Ann及她的孩子們飼養。

　　(四)查讀分析

　　(2024·湖北·C)

　　Hilversum is a medium-sized city between the major cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the Gooi area of North Holland, the Netherlands. Unlike most of the Netherlands，Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand.Once called the Garden of Amsterdam，it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests. They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness.For Dutch people, Hilversum is all about textile(紡織) and media industries，and modern architecture.

　　In history, Hilversum was largely an agricultural area.Daily life was marked by farming, sheep raising and wool production.A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum.They built themselves large villas(別墅)in the wooded surroundings of the town.One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers，currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands.They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum.But the textile boom lasted only several decades.The last factory closed in the 1960s.

　　The change to a media economy started in 1920，when the Nederlandse Seintoestellen Fabriek(NSF) established a radio factory in Hilversum.Most radio stations settled in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town.Television gave another push to the local economy.Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands，and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.

　　In the early 1900s，modern architects W．M.Dudok and J．Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum.These modern architectural masterpieces(杰作) are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum.Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75 buildings still bear his unique characteristies.His masterpiece.Hilversum Town Hall，was built in 1928-1931.It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks.The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”．Actually，one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W．M.Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.
