Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述了世界上最丑的狗以及它的可愛一面．

解答 21．A 考查細節(jié)理解  根據第二段開頭A 10-year old mixed breed dog named"Quasi Modo提到Quasi 現在的年齡為10 years old．第六段提到Mike Carroll，adopted Quasi from Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control about nine years ago．Sayre夫婦收養(yǎng)Quasi 的時間為大約為9年前．由此計算可知Quasi 當時大約1歲．故選A
22．C 詞義猜測題．根據文中內容，Though the press release initially identified Quasi as male，the dog is female盡管出版社起初以為Quasi是公狗，但實際上是母狗．結合選項，故選C
23．D 考查推理判斷  根據倒數第二段和第三段可知，Though the press release initially identified Quasi as male，the dog is female…Event spokeswoman Karen Spencer confirmed that the press release made an error and that the dog is female．新聞報道起初以為Quasi是公狗，但實際上是母狗．發(fā)言人Karen Spencer也承認了這個錯誤．D項正確．其余三項均與文中所述不符．
