Bier was the kid with snakes in his pockets. He once hid six snakes in a soda can under his mother’s car seat while returning from a family vacation, which made his mother ban the wild reptiles (爬行动物). But under the guidance of Frey, a teacher who developed a school environmental education program in the state, his outdoor adventures continued.
Bier knows what lives in the woods — things most people don’t see or consider. Things like fungi (真菌). They’re not animals or plants, but Bier notes that they are doing a lot of the decomposition (分解) work on the earth. He also casts his eyes on plant diversity, which the general public take little notice of. “When you drive down the highway, if you’re not a naturalist, it’s just green stuff going by the window,” Bier said.
Bier served as director of the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, which conducts fieldwork on some endangered species and their conservation. He surveyed every county in Western Pennsylvania and documented the rarest creatures and plants. His fieldwork and recommendations led to the conservancy preserving more than 153.000 acres of species-rich land in Western Pennsylvania during his almost 43-year in office, according to Carrow, the conservancy’s vice president. “It’s not often that somebody can say one’s work will be appreciated in the future for all people, for all time. His work is quite remarkable,” she said.
Bier has recently retired. He lives in a primitive cabin at Todd Nature Reserve. He catches crayfish in the river, and heads to the forest and fields, where wildlife awaits. He grows most of his food, raises sheep, a cow for milking and chickens, and still cuts firewood to heat his home. “People can be in better touch with nature. It’s like the moment when you look at the stars and realize there’s something bigger than you and Netflix,” Bier said.
4. What can we learn about Bier from the first paragraph?
A. He ran into danger on a vacation. B. He had interest in nature.
C. He got support from his mother. D. He started a school program.
5. What is the public’s reaction to the plant diversity according to Bier?
A. They are used to it. B. They are blind to it.
C. They are afraid of losing it. D. They are amazed at its value.
6. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. Everyone can be a naturalist. B. Preserving the natural world is urgent.
C. Bier’s passion for nature has paid off. D. Some species could drive the ecosystem.
7. What is Bier’s life like after retirement?
A. Close to nature. B. Full of risks.
C. Tough but satisfying. D. Busy and unpredictable.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A

In parts of Tanzania, soils are disappearing. A combination of climate change and socioeconomic stresses has led to soil ending into nearby rivers and lakes.
Recognizing the threat, the local community set up an environmental committee to allow strategic decision- making for soil restoration. They worked with researchers led by Will Blake at the University of Plymouth, who are experimenting with a gamma ray (伽马射线) sensor that can be easy to carry. It can make a judgement about the health of the soil in several minutes, while the traditional approach is done by taking a small number of samples for lab analysis and takes more time. The community identified areas where the soil was severely reduced, and so excluded their cattle. With the pressure removed, the land re-greened quickly and the soil began to recover.
Blake emphasizes that the technology is only half the story. Scientists helicoptering in and offering solutions doesn’t work partly because it ignores the autonomy of the farmers themselves and their extensive local environmental knowledge. Instead, Blake recommends“ mutual learning”, in which different groups learn from each other and talk openly.
With the advancement of this cooperative approach, some farmers made dramatic changes.“ During past seasons, I used to get 4 — 5 bags of com per acre using improved varieties of seeds and intensive use of chemical fertilizers (肥料),” one reported. After scanning his soils, he switched to natural ones and intercropping between corn and beans, in an attempt to increase the soil quality and agriculture productivity.“ Now I am getting 7 — 9 bags of com in the same piece of land”.
While this pilot work has focused on the southern part of the earth, there’s a lot other areas can learn from these experiences. Many countries are moving towards regenerative agriculture, which aims to restore soils and ecosystems to make farms more sustainable. “We’ve realized that developing the evidence base together with the communities affected is the most effective way,” Blake says.
8. What can we learn about the new sensor?
A. it is invented by a local community. B. It can quickly assess soil condition.
C. It is difficult to apply in distant areas. D. It helps collect a number of soil samples.
9. Why does Blake recommend “mutual learning”?
A. To share data in the new research. B. To develop a sustainable solution.
C. To remove the farmers’ burden. D. To popularize sensor technology.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Examples of intercropping. B. Changes in farmers’ awareness.
C. Effects of the new approach. D. Attempts to increase productivity.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. What farming brings to the soil health?
B Lost Wisdom: Traditions in Agriculture
C. Sensor Technology: The Future of Farming
D How soil health cooperation is changing agriculture?
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在坦桑尼亚的部分地区,土壤正在消失,认识到这一威胁,当地社区成立了一个环境委员会,他们采用了新传感器能快速评估土壤状况,还通过“相互学习”来制定解决方案。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It can make a judgement about the health of the soil in several minutes, while the traditional approach is done by taking a small number of samples for lab analysis and takes more time.(它可以在几分钟内对土壤的健康状况做出判断,而传统的方法是通过采集少量样品进行实验室分析,需要更多的时间)”可知,新传感器能快速评估土壤状况。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Blake emphasizes that the technology is only half the story. Scientists helicoptering in and offering solutions doesn’t work, partly because it ignores the autonomy of the farmers themselves and their extensive local environmental knowledge. Instead, Blake recommends“ mutual learning”, in which different groups learn from each other and talk openly.(布莱克强调,技术只是故事的一半。科学家们乘坐直升机提供解决方案是行不通的,部分原因是它忽视了农民自己的自主权和他们广泛的当地环境知识。相反,布莱克建议“相互学习”,即不同群体相互学习,坦诚相待)”可知,布莱克推荐“互学”因为可以制定可持续的解决方案。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“With the advancement of this cooperative approach, some farmers made dramatic changes.“ During past seasons, I used to get 4 — 5 bags of com per acre using improved varieties of seeds and intensive use of chemical fertilizers (肥料),” one reported. After scanning his soils, he switched to natural ones and intercropping between corn and beans, in an attempt to increase the soil quality and agriculture productivity.“ Now I am getting 7 — 9 bags of com in the same piece of land”.(随着这种合作方式的发展,一些农民发生了巨大的变化。“在过去的季节里,我使用改良品种的种子和大量使用化肥,每英亩能收获4到5袋玉米,”其中一人报告说。在扫描了他的土壤之后,他转而种植天然土壤,并在玉米和豆类之间进行间作,试图提高土壤质量和农业生产力。“现在我在同一块土地上可以得到7到9袋玉米。”)”可知,第四段的主要内容是新方法的影响。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“While this pilot work has focused on the southern part of the earth, there’s a lot other areas can learn from these experiences. Many countries are moving towards regenerative agriculture, which aims to restore soils and ecosystems to make farms more sustainable. “We’ve realized that developing the evidence base together with the communities affected is the most effective way,” Blake says.( 虽然这项试点工作主要集中在地球南部,但还有很多其他地区可以从这些经验中学习。许多国家正在转向可再生农业,其目的是恢复土壤和生态系统,使农场更具可持续性。布莱克说:“我们已经意识到,与受影响的社区一起发展证据基础是最有效的方法。”)”结合文章主要说明了在坦桑尼亚的部分地区,土壤正在消失,认识到这一威胁,当地社区成立了一个环境委员会,他们采用了新传感器能快速评估土壤状况,还通过“相互学习”来制定解决方案。可知,D选项“土壤健康合作如何改变农业?”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
New technologies tend to cause a cycle of concern, disorder, and conflict before eventually being accepted. Recent writings about artificial intelligence (AI) and other advances in computer science suggest that we are preparing to welcome the final stage of this latest round of invention.
The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh’s new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms (算法). “Absent from discussions about AI and automation,” Pugh argues, “is the impact that these systems might have on the emotional understandings we build of ourselves and others.”
Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners (从业者) said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes. She then provides a summary of how care work is being increasingly automated, showing how quantification and measurement have taken over many aspects of human-facing jobs, leaving little room for doctors, teachers, and others to build connection.
“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame, a risk that makes it all the more powerful when practitioners show empathic (同理心的) reflection,” writes Pugh. In chapter 8, she explains how such interactions can be done right. Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor: “relational design”, or how people are set up to interact with one another; “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors.
Pugh concludes by arguing that we need a social movement for connection. “We need to fight for what we might call our ‘social health’,” she maintains.
12. What is the main concern of Allison Pugh’s new book?
A. The impact of AI on future employment. B. The approach to living and working with AI.
C. The increasing role of technology in caregiving. D. The value of connective labor in the age of automation.
13. Why does the author mention “practitioners” in paragraph 3?
A. To explain how to do care work. B. To argue against the automation technology.
C. To prove the significance of human connection. D. To discuss the challenges of privacy in caregiving.
14. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The encounter. B. The shame. C. The risk. D. The potential.
15. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The overview of chapter 8. B. The effective way to interact.
C. The new trend of caregiving. D. The factors of avoiding shame.
【答案】12 D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了社会学家Allison Pugh的新书《最后的人类工作》,该书强调在自动化时代保持人际关系和连接性劳动的重要性,呼吁社会为“社会健康”而战。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh’s new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms (算法). (社会学家Allison Pugh的新书《最后的人类工作》聚焦于自动化时代的看护和人际关系,该书警告读者不要毫无保留地接受这些技术进步,称“连接性劳动”是有价值的人类工作,不会轻易被算法取代)”可知,这本新书主要关注的是自动化时代连接性劳动的价值。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners (从业者) said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes. (Pugh通过论证人际关系的价值以及看到和被他人看到的重要性奠定了基础。她说:“从业者说,他们获得了一种目的感,仅仅是因为有机会观察人们最无助的时候。”)”可知,此处先指出Pugh论证了人际关系的价值,以及看到和被他人看到的重要性,然后提到从业者的想法,他们通过看到他人而获得目的感。由此推知,作者提到从业者是为了证明人际关系的重要性。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词的上文“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame (当一个人去看医生或老师时,这种相遇充满了羞耻的可能性)”和下文“all the more powerful when practitioners show empathic (同理心的) reflection (当从业者表现出共情反思时,这一切都更加强大)”可推知,正是与他人的相遇有可能会有羞耻感,所以从业者具备的共情反思才会使遭遇变得强大,划线词指代的是前面提到的相遇。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor: “relational design”, or how people are set up to interact with one another; “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors. (她和其他人进行的研究确定了支持连接性劳动的三个关键方面:“关系设计”,即人们如何与他人互动;“连接性的文化”,或影响人们互动方式的共同实践和信仰;“资源分配”包括互动时间、员工对客户的比率、技术和数据使用的程度等因素)”可知,本段主要介绍了连接性劳动中有效的互动方式。故选B项。

In Chinese traditional architecture, a skywell is an open courtyard or well-like space usually located at the heart of a building or group of buildings.____16____ Their designs often feature the classic Chinese dou gong overhangs to provide shade and collect water into a central basin.
Chinese skywells are so effective in cooling homes because they can control natural airing. Cool air is drawn into the building from the lower levels, and warm air escapes and rises through the upper levels. ____17____
The skywell’s layout and construction materials also help in thermal(热量的)regulation. During the day, the courtyard absorbs heat from the sun, acting as a thermal mass.____18____This day-night cycle helps maintain a balanced and consistent temperature indoors.
Most traditional skywells include water features, such as fountains or ponds. A recent study has shown that the most significant part of a skywell’s cooling effect comes from these water bodies.____19____As water evaporates(蒸发)from these features, it absorbs heat from the surrounding air. This reduces the temperature within the courtyard and surrounding rooms.
____20____One fitting example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan,an 18-story building that has a giant open space at its heart from the fifth floor to the top floor. The toilets, elevators, and meeting rooms surround this space. This enhances natural airing and natural energy consumption, according to the Shanghai-based CCDI Group.
A. This promotes fresh air flow,especially during hot summer days.
B. It is often a square surrounded by the building’s rooms and wings.
C. This cooling was disadvantageous in regions with hot and dry climates.
D. It’s probably why temperatures around them are 2.6℃ to 4.2℃ lower.
E. These wonders continue to inspire architects to seek sustainable solutions.
F. The magic of skywells stands as witnesses to the wisdom of ancient builders.
G. The stored heat is gradually released as the outdoor temperature drops at night.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
John was a highway patrol trooper (巡逻警察) responsible for ensuring traffic safety on T Highway. One afternoon in July, there was a heavy rainstorm. While driving through the busiest part of the highway during the downpour, he noticed that traffic was beginning to slow down ahead of him, with some cars coming to a stop and veering (转向) into another lane.
John initially thought there had been a car accident, so he reduced his speed to take a closer look. However, he quickly discovered that the real cause of the hold-up was an animal wandering on the wet road. As he got nearer, he realized it was a dog. There was a large dog that looked like a brown German shepherd (牧羊犬) in the middle lane.
The weather conditions were terrible, with a gray sky and heavy rain reducing visibility on the highway. This delay could lead to a traffic jam, and it was certainly very dangerous to have the dog wandering in the middle of the road.
He immediately turned on his blue lights because people usually slow down when they see the blue lights and called into the radio so they knew where he was. He pulled over, got out, and whistled to draw the dog’s attention.
It seemed as if the dog knew John was its lifesaver. It walked to John and his car. Once the dog was in the car, John pulled into a parking lot nearby, where he called Petworks Animal Service. While waiting, he noticed the dog wearing a collar with its name “Marley”. John recorded a short video of the dog.
Then an animal control officer came and took Marley to the shelter. John came back to work. Watching cars travelling on the highway through the window glass, he thought he might do something to let the dog’s owner know the pet was found safe.
After work, John posted the video online with a brief description attached.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Days later, news came that Marley’s owner had been found and would visit him.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After work, John posted the video online with a brief description attached. He called on netizens to lend a helping hand. Amazingly, the video went viral in no time. Countless people gave likes to the video, leaving heartwarming comments. They not only admired John for his selfless good deeds but also actively shared the video on various platforms to help look for Marley’s owner. Watching such a large number of helpful people getting enthusiastically involved, John was deeply touched. His heart was filled with hope and anticipation, waiting for the good news that Marley would be reunited with its owner soon.
Days later, news came that Marley’s owner had been found and would visit him. Hearing that, John felt excitement sweeping over him. Soon, there came a knock on the door. The moment he opened the door, a lady came into view. She reached out, grasped John’s hands and expressed her sincere gratitude. John responded with a warm smile and knelt down to pet Marley, who was wagging his tail excitedly. Before leaving, she insisted on giving John a gift. He politely refused, saying Marley’s safety and happiness was what he hoped for. As a highway patrol trooper, John went above and beyond the call of duty by helping a lost dog.
【解析】

Bier was the kid with snakes in his pockets. He once hid six snakes in a soda can under his mother’s car seat while returning from a family vacation, which made his mother ban the wild reptiles (爬行动物). But under the guidance of Frey, a teacher who developed a school environmental education program in the state, his outdoor adventures continued.
Bier knows what lives in the woods — things most people don’t see or consider. Things like fungi (真菌). They’re not animals or plants, but Bier notes that they are doing a lot of the decomposition (分解) work on the earth. He also casts his eyes on plant diversity, which the general public take little notice of. “When you drive down the highway, if you’re not a naturalist, it’s just green stuff going by the window,” Bier said.
Bier served as director of the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, which conducts fieldwork on some endangered species and their conservation. He surveyed every county in Western Pennsylvania and documented the rarest creatures and plants. His fieldwork and recommendations led to the conservancy preserving more than 153.000 acres of species-rich land in Western Pennsylvania during his almost 43-year in office, according to Carrow, the conservancy’s vice president. “It’s not often that somebody can say one’s work will be appreciated in the future for all people, for all time. His work is quite remarkable,” she said.
Bier has recently retired. He lives in a primitive cabin at Todd Nature Reserve. He catches crayfish in the river, and heads to the forest and fields, where wildlife awaits. He grows most of his food, raises sheep, a cow for milking and chickens, and still cuts firewood to heat his home. “People can be in better touch with nature. It’s like the moment when you look at the stars and realize there’s something bigger than you and Netflix,” Bier said.
4. What can we learn about Bier from the first paragraph?
A. He ran into danger on a vacation. B. He had interest in nature.
C. He got support from his mother. D. He started a school program.
5. What is the public’s reaction to the plant diversity according to Bier?
A. They are used to it. B. They are blind to it.
C. They are afraid of losing it. D. They are amazed at its value.
6. What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A. Everyone can be a naturalist. B. Preserving the natural world is urgent.
C. Bier’s passion for nature has paid off. D. Some species could drive the ecosystem.
7. What is Bier’s life like after retirement?
A. Close to nature. B. Full of risks.
C. Tough but satisfying. D. Busy and unpredictable.
C
In parts of Tanzania, soils are disappearing. A combination of climate change and socioeconomic stresses has led to soil ending into nearby rivers and lakes.
Recognizing the threat, the local community set up an environmental committee to allow strategic decision- making for soil restoration. They worked with researchers led by Will Blake at the University of Plymouth, who are experimenting with a gamma ray (伽马射线) sensor that can be easy to carry. It can make a judgement about the health of the soil in several minutes, while the traditional approach is done by taking a small number of samples for lab analysis and takes more time. The community identified areas where the soil was severely reduced, and so excluded their cattle. With the pressure removed, the land re-greened quickly and the soil began to recover.
Blake emphasizes that the technology is only half the story. Scientists helicoptering in and offering solutions doesn’t work, partly because it ignores the autonomy of the farmers themselves and their extensive local environmental knowledge. Instead, Blake recommends“ mutual learning”, in which different groups learn from each other and talk openly.
With the advancement of this cooperative approach, some farmers made dramatic changes.“ During past seasons, I used to get 4 — 5 bags of com per acre using improved varieties of seeds and intensive use of chemical fertilizers (肥料),” one reported. After scanning his soils, he switched to natural ones and intercropping between corn and beans, in an attempt to increase the soil quality and agriculture productivity.“ Now I am getting 7 — 9 bags of com in the same piece of land”.
While this pilot work has focused on the southern part of the earth, there’s a lot other areas can learn from these experiences. Many countries are moving towards regenerative agriculture, which aims to restore soils and ecosystems to make farms more sustainable. “We’ve realized that developing the evidence base together with the communities affected is the most effective way,” Blake says.
8. What can we learn about the new sensor?
A. it is invented by a local community. B. It can quickly assess soil condition.
C. It is difficult to apply in distant areas. D. It helps collect a number of soil samples.
9. Why does Blake recommend “mutual learning”?
A. To share data in the new research. B. To develop a sustainable solution.
C. To remove the farmers’ burden. D. To popularize sensor technology.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Examples of intercropping. B. Changes in farmers’ awareness.
C. Effects of the new approach. D. Attempts to increase productivity.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. What farming brings to the soil health?
B. Lost Wisdom: Traditions in Agriculture
C. Sensor Technology: The Future of Farming
D. How soil health cooperation is changing agriculture?
D
New technologies tend to cause a cycle of concern, disorder, and conflict before eventually being accepted. Recent writings about artificial intelligence (AI) and other advances in computer science suggest that we are preparing to welcome the final stage of this latest round of invention.
The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh’s new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms (算法). “Absent from discussions about AI and automation,” Pugh argues, “is the impact that these systems might have on the emotional understandings we build of ourselves and others.”
Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners (从业者) said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes. She then provides a summary of how care work is being increasingly automated, showing how quantification and measurement have taken over many aspects of human-facing jobs, leaving little room for doctors, teachers, and others to build connection.
“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame, a risk that makes it all the more powerful when practitioners show empathic (同理心的) reflection,” writes Pugh. In chapter 8, she explains how such interactions can be done right. Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor: “relational design”, or how people are set up to interact with one another; “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors.
Pugh concludes by arguing that we need a social movement for connection. “We need to fight for what we might call our ‘social health’,” she maintains.

In Chinese traditional architecture, a skywell is an open courtyard or well-like space usually located at the heart of a building or group of buildings.____16____ Their designs often feature the classic Chinese dou gong overhangs to provide shade and collect water into a central basin.
Chinese skywells are so effective in cooling homes because they can control natural airing. Cool air is drawn into the building from the lower levels, and warm air escapes and rises through the upper levels. ____17____
The skywell’s layout and construction materials also help in thermal(热量的)regulation. During the day, the courtyard absorbs heat from the sun, acting as a thermal mass.____18____This day-night cycle helps maintain a balanced and consistent temperature indoors.
Most traditional skywells include water features, such as fountains or ponds. A recent study has shown that the most significant part of a skywell’s cooling effect comes from these water bodies.____19____As water evaporates(蒸发)from these features, it absorbs heat from the surrounding air. This reduces the temperature within the courtyard and surrounding rooms.
____20____One fitting example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan,an 18-story building that has a giant open space at its heart from the fifth floor to the top floor. The toilets, elevators, and meeting rooms surround this space. This enhances natural airing and natural energy consumption, according to the Shanghai-based CCDI Group.
A. This promotes fresh air flow,especially during hot summer days.
B. It is often a square surrounded by the building’s rooms and wings.
C. This cooling was disadvantageous in regions with hot and dry climates.
D. It’s probably why temperatures around them are 2.6℃ to 4.2℃ lower.
E. These wonders continue to inspire architects to seek sustainable solutions.
F. The magic of skywells stands as witnesses to the wisdom of ancient builders.
G. The stored heat is gradually released as the outdoor temperature drops at night.

John was a highway patrol trooper (巡逻警察) responsible for ensuring traffic safety on T Highway. One afternoon in July there was a heavy rainstorm. While driving through the busiest part of the highway during the downpour, he noticed that traffic was beginning to slow down ahead of him, with some cars coming to a stop and veering (转向) into another lane.
John initially thought there had been a car accident, so he reduced his speed to take a closer look. However, he quickly discovered that the real cause of the hold-up was an animal wandering on the wet road. As he got nearer, he realized it was a dog. There was a large dog that looked like a brown German shepherd (牧羊犬) in the middle lane.
The weather conditions were terrible, with a gray sky and heavy rain reducing visibility on the highway. This delay could lead to a traffic jam, and it was certainly very dangerous to have the dog wandering in the middle of the road.
He immediately turned on his blue lights because people usually slow down when they see the blue lights and called into the radio so they knew where he was. He pulled over, got out, and whistled to draw the dog’s attention.
It seemed as if the dog knew John was its lifesaver. It walked to John and his car. Once the dog was in the car, John pulled into a parking lot nearby, where he called Petworks Animal Service. While waiting, he noticed the dog wearing a collar with its name “Marley”. John recorded a short video of the dog.
Then an animal control officer came and took Marley to the shelter. John came back to work. Watching cars travelling on the highway through the window glass, he thought he might do something to let the dog’s owner know the pet was found safe.
After work, John posted the video online with a brief description attached.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Days later, news came that Marley’s owner had been found and would visit him.
