Question

【題目】 As part of his role in the Air Force Volunteer Reserve, John Lewis often visited military schools. But it was at a London school in 2014 that an accident happened. He had 11 operations in total and it was two years before he could walk again.

Although John improved physically, he couldn’t recover from what had happened. John was diagnosed with post -traumatic (創(chuàng)傷后) stress disorder (PTSD), but none of the treatment seemed to help. Then last year, at a hospital, a doctor told him a puppy (小狗) could manage stress and might help with his anxiety.

In May 2019, they adopted a black puppy called Gibson. He says, “I'd never thought of it as a comfort. After just a few weeks, I could feel myself improving. If I was feeling anxious, he would jump up on the sofa and sit on my chest and I found that really relaxing and comforting. Wherever I go, he will follow me and it’s really helpful to my anxiety. We go out and play Frisbee (飛盤) and I now look forward to going out for walks while I would always make excuses to stay in the house before.”

His wife Anna has also noticed a difference. She says, “Gibson is an incredible dog that adores John. He is a fantastic companion. It has given him a focus and a lease on life.”

John is now. taking part in Generation Pup, a groundbreaking study that tracks puppies through adulthood to learn how their early experiences and environment affect their development. John says, “I really enjoy tracking this through the study, watching his personality begin to grow and support me on my road back to mental health, which he is playing a big part in.” “Gibson has done so much for me in a short space of time. I want to do something for him.”

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】

本文是記敘文。文章講述了John在遭遇意外后，患上創(chuàng)傷后精神緊張性障礙，但在小狗Gibson的陪伴下，John努力克服焦慮的故事。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句John was diagnosed with post -traumatic (創(chuàng)傷后) stress disorder (PTSD), but none of the treatment seemed to help.“約翰被診斷為創(chuàng)傷后應(yīng)激障礙(PTSD),但沒有任何治療方法。”可知，John被診斷出患有創(chuàng)傷后精神緊張性障礙，但似乎任何治療都沒有幫助。故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。第三段引用John的原話“I'd never thought of it as a comfort. After just a few weeks, I could feel myself improving. If I was feeling anxious, he would jump up on the sofa and sit on my chest and I found that really relaxing and comforting. Wherever I go, he will follow me and it’s really helpful to my anxiety. We go out and play Frisbee (飛盤) and I now look forward to going out for walks while I would always make excuses to stay in the house before.” “我從來沒有想過這是一種安慰。幾周后,我覺得自己在進(jìn)步。如果我感到焦慮,他就會(huì)跳上沙發(fā),坐在我的胸前,我發(fā)現(xiàn)這真的很放松和安慰。無論我走到哪里,他都會(huì)跟隨我,這對我的焦慮很有幫助。我們出去玩飛盤,我現(xiàn)在期待著出去散步,而我總是找借口呆在房子里。”可知，約翰在第三段中的話是為了體現(xiàn)Gibson在和他相處過程中是怎樣安慰John的心靈的。故選D。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容描述和第四段His wife Anna has also noticed a difference. She says, “Gibson is an incredible dog that adores John. He is a fantastic companion.“他的妻子安娜也注意到了這一點(diǎn)。她說:“吉布森是一種令人難以置信的狗,喜歡約翰。”他是一個(gè)了不起的伙伴。”可知，小狗安慰John的心靈，讓他有了生活的焦點(diǎn)并過上了更好的生活。由此推知?jiǎng)澗�部分的意思是“更好的生活”。故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句“Gibson has done so much for me in a short space of time. I want to do something for him.”“Gibson在這么短的時(shí)間里為我做了這么多，我想為它做點(diǎn)什么”�？芍�，John對小狗Gibson充滿感激之情。故選A。

做詞義猜測題時(shí)，利用上下文提供的情景和線索，進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的綜合分析進(jìn)而推測詞義，最常見的就是利用上下文語境、常識和語法關(guān)系推斷詞義，尤其要抓住所需推斷詞匯前后的含義。本題第3小題，根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容描述和第四段His wife Anna has also noticed a difference. She says, “Gibson is an incredible dog that adores John. He is a fantastic companion.“他的妻子安娜也注意到了這一點(diǎn)。她說:“吉布森是一種令人難以置信的狗,喜歡約翰。”他是一個(gè)了不起的伙伴。”可知，小狗安慰John的心靈，讓他有了生活的焦點(diǎn)并過上了更好的生活。由此推知?jiǎng)澗�部分的意思是“更好的生活”。故選B。
