Question

【題目】B. Choose the words or expressions to complete the passage.

A couple of days ago, I saw a dog named Cookie. He was dying of cancer (癌). The dog’s owners, Steven and Maggie were very ________, and so was their little boy, Jimmy. I told the family we couldn’t do ________ for Cookie, and I told them that they could give the old dog the euthanasia procedure (安樂死) in their home.

The next day, I felt a catch in my throat as Cookie’s family was around him. Jimmy petted (愛撫) the old dog for the last time. In a few minutes, Cookie died ________. The little boy seemed to accept Cookie’s death. We sat together for a while-after Cookie’s death, talking about why animal lives are shorter than human lives. Jimmy, who as listening quietly said, “I know why.”

“People are born so that they can learn how to ________… like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” Jimmy said, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long as human beings.”

So remember, if a dog was the teacher, you would learn things like:

●When loved ones come home, always run to meet them.

●Run, ________, and play daily.

●Let people touch you.

●On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a big tree.

●When you are happy, dance around.

●Never pretend to be something you’re not.

●When someone is having a bad day, the dog ________, sit close by and nuzzle (輕觸) him.

●Love people and don’t remember the wrong things they do for you.

【解析】

本篇文章難度適中，主要講述一個叫做“餅干”的狗被施以安樂死后，他的小主人吉米對“人為什么活得久而動物活得不久”這個問題闡述他自己的觀點。最后作者設(shè)想如果狗是老師，它將教給其他人的東西。

【1】句意：狗的主人史蒂芬和馬吉悶悶不樂，他們的小男孩吉米也是。

surprised驚奇的；worried擔(dān)心的，悶悶不樂的；excited振奮的；pleased高興的。根據(jù)全文可知，他們的小狗得了癌癥，馬上就要死去了，所以他們一家人是悶悶不樂的。故選B。

【2】句意：我告訴這一家人我們無法為餅干做任何事情了，并且我告訴他們，他們可以在家里給這個年歲大的狗安樂死。

everything每一件事；nothing沒有事情；something用于肯定句中譯為“一些事情”，用于疑問句中，表示建議并希望得到對方肯定回答，譯為“一些事情”；anything用于肯定句中譯為“任何事情”，用于疑問句和否定句中譯為“一些事情”。本句話為否定句，且譯為“無法為他做一些事情了”，故選D。

【3】句意：幾分鐘后，餅干安靜地死去。

quietly安靜地；heavily沉重地；strangely奇怪地；hard努力地。根據(jù)and I told them that they could give the old dog the euthanasia procedure (安樂死) in their home“并且我告訴他們，他們可以在家里給這個年歲大的狗安樂死”可知，餅干被安樂死，所以它是安靜地死去，故選A。

【4】句意：人生來就是為了學(xué)習(xí)如何過上美好的生活。

correct mistakes糾正錯誤；work hard努力工作；deal with trouble處理麻煩；like a good life過上美好的生活。根據(jù)like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?“比如一直愛著每個人，對每個人都很好”可知，表示“過上美好的生活”，故選D。

【5】句意：日常中跑、跳和玩。

jump跳；shout喊；sleep睡覺；cry哭。根據(jù)句意可知，表示在日常生活中跑、跳和玩。jump跳，故選A。

【6】句意：當(dāng)某個人有糟糕的一天時，狗會很安靜并且靠近你來觸摸你。

be silent安靜；cry loudly大聲喊；be angry生氣；laugh happily開心地笑。根據(jù)句意可知，表示當(dāng)主人生氣時，狗會很安靜并且坐在你旁邊，故選A。

做完型填空時，首先要通讀課文，明白主旨大意，然后再做題。做完型時要記住“瞻前顧后想結(jié)果”這一原則，根據(jù)上下文以及語境做題，切忌主觀臆斷。另外，平時還要多多積累詞匯。完型填空�？济�詞、動詞、形容詞和副詞等辨析。做詞義辨析題時，首先要確認四個選項的含義，然后分析語境和邏輯關(guān)系，確定答案。

例如第3題，首先確定四個選項的含義，A. quietly安靜地；B. heavily沉重地；C. strangely奇怪地；D. hard努力地。根據(jù)and I told them that they could give the old dog the euthanasia procedure (安樂死) in their home“并且我告訴他們，他們可以在家里給這個年歲大的狗安樂死”可知，餅干被安樂死，所以它是安靜地死去，故選A。
