Question

7．Many blind people use guide dogs to help them get safely from place to place and to warn them of danger．But what can blind people do if they are allergic（過敏的）to dogs or just don't like them？For some people，the answer is provided by the Guide Horse Foundation．
Janet and Don Burleson founded the organization in 1999．They began training miniature horses to help guide blind people．Miniature horses look just like regular horses，only much smaller．They are generally less than 34 inches tall．
Cuddles was the foundation's first guide horse in full service．She became 45-year-old Dan Shaw's helper．Shaw has an eye disease and his sight is very poor．One night，while filling out a form to get a guide dog，Shaw heard a news story on TV about people training horses to guide the blind．Shaw loves horses and wanted a guide animal that would live a long time．He applied（申請），and a year later，Cuddles and Shaw began training as a team．
On a trip to New York，Cuddles helped Shaw safely tour Times Square，a very busy part of the city at night．The next day，Cuddles calmly rode the elevator with Shaw to the crowded top of the Empire State Building，a famous tall building．Cuddles even guided Shaw on the boat ride to the Statue of Liberty，and traveled on the subway system．
Shaw says that he is very lucky to have Cuddles．He believes that Cuddles has changed his life for the better by giving him the chance to do things himself and making him feel much more confident about himself．

Answer 1

分析 文章主要講述了一種新型的導(dǎo)盲動物--導(dǎo)盲馬．這主要針對不喜歡狗或是對狗過敏的人群．文章還舉了Cuddles和她的主人Shaw的例子來證明導(dǎo)盲馬能和導(dǎo)盲犬工作得一樣好．

解答 28．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第二段They began training miniature horses to help guideblind people，可知他們開始訓(xùn)練小型馬來幫助盲人．所以The Guide Horse Foundation是訓(xùn)練馬給盲人帶路的組織，故選D．
29．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第二段的Miniature horses look just like regular horses，onlymuch smaller，可知小型馬看起來就像普通的馬，只是小得多．所以這種馬比其他的馬小，故選C．
30．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第三段對于Shaw的描述：Shaw loves horses and wanted a guide animal…可知Shaw喜歡馬，想要向?qū)�動物．所以他很喜歡馬，故選B．
31．A 主旨大意題．文章主要講的是訓(xùn)練小型馬來幫助盲人，讓他們能做自己做不到的事，故選A．

點(diǎn)評 本文是人物故事類閱讀，主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題．在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時，首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語．認(rèn)真比較選項和文中細(xì)節(jié)的區(qū)別，從而做出正確的選擇．
