2024年中考英语逆袭冲刺名校模拟真题速递(湖南专用) 第三期 专题03 阅读理解之记叙文15篇(名校真题) （2024·湖南娄底·一模） Being a vet (兽医), I was called to examine a ten-year-old dog named Belker this February. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane, all liked Belker very much and they were hoping for a miracle (奇迹). I examined Belker and found he was dying. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure (安乐死程序) for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements (安排), Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to watch the procedure. They thought Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt sad as usual when Belker’s family stayed with him. Shane seemed so calm (镇定), touching the old dog for the last time. I wondered if he understood what was going on. After a few minutes, Belker slipped away peacefully. The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s death without any difficulty or doubt. We sat together for a while, talking about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane said suddenly, “I know why.” We all turned to him. His words surprised me. It was the best explanation (解释) I’d ever heard. He said, “People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” The six-year-old continued, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.” 1．Belker, the dog, was ________ years old.
