冲刺2024年中考英语必考题型终极预测（北京专用） 专题04 阅读理解（记叙文）20篇（地区真题+名校模拟） （23-24九年级上·北京·期末）Around 5 a.m. on August 26, one-year-old dog Axel tried to wake up Amanda and Daines to warn them of their son’s condition. The couple thought that he only wanted to go out so they ignored (忽视) him. However, the dog did not give up until the couple got out of bed. The dog led them to the bedroom of their son Gabriel where they found him unable to move and even couldn’t speak. The couple rushed him to the hospital immediately. The doctor said Gabriel suffered from a serious stroke (中风). Luckily, he was sent to the doctor in time, or he would have had a worse result. After a week in the hospital, Gabriel is now getting better and is looking forward to going back to his normal life. And what he wants to do most is to thank his dog for saving his life. “Axel has always been very clever,” Gabriel said. “He can tell when something is wrong—like if we are feeling down or stressed—and he does his best to fix the problem.” Because of Axel, Gabriel is not only talking and walking again but is also close to healing completely. He and his family are very thankful for having such a smart and protective dog. After he went back home, the dog is tasked with following Gabriel everywhere. “He’s now sleeping with Gabriel more and Gabriel’s doors are open so he can go in and out. He’s always been very sensitive to everything and everybody’s emotions at home,” Amanda said. Gabriel and Axel’s story is not the first story of a dog’s heroic act. Many times, dogs have proved their loyalty (忠诚) to humans by saving their lives and we humans should consider them as family members as well. 1．Why did Axel try to wake up Amanda and Daines? A．Because Gabriel felt stressed in the morning. B．Because Gabriel failed to open the door for Axel. C．Because Axel needed to go out to play with the couple. D．Because Axel wanted to warn the couple of their son’s condition. 2．In the hospital, Gabriel wants to thank Axel for ________.
