D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分)
When I was ten years old, Mother found a dog by the roadside that had been hit by a car. She immediately took him to a vet as one of his back legs was badly hurt. His leg took some time to get better. Since Mother could not find the dog’s owner, we kept him and named him Chip. Chip and Mother were always together. He was Mother’s shadow and followed her everywhere. Whenever she left the house, he would whine sadly.
One day, on our way to my grandparents’ house for dinner. Mother stopped at a minimart. “Mary, let’s buy some fruits for Grandma and Grandpa and a snack for Chip.” Mother told me as she got out of the car. I went along to take the chance to buy an ice cream for myself. Soon, we were on the road again.
Half an hour passed when mother asked suddenly, “Where is Chip?” Chip was a quiet dog, so nobody realized that he was not in the backseat. None of us remembered seeing him out of the car at the minimart.
It was dark by then and raining very heavily. Worried sick, Mother decided to drive back to the minimart. When she stopped in front of the store, she was shocked. There sat Chip, soaking wet, with water dripping off his long ears. Mother rushed out of the car and quickly flew towards our pet.
“________!” the minimart owner exclaimed when she saw us hugging and patting chip. “He must have been waiting for you to return and has not moved from this spot even though it was raining.”
That night, Mother gave Chip as many snacks as he could eat as a praise. “I’m so glad that you are safe and sound!” she said cheerfully.
54.Chip was a service dog, wasn’t he?
55.Why was Chip’s leg badly hurt when Mother first found him?
56.How long did it take before Mother realized Chip was not in the car?
57.Where did they find Chip?
58.What might the minimart owner say to Mother? Fill in the blank with one sentence.
59.Do you think Mother was a responsible dog owner? Why or why not?
【答案】54.No, he wasn’t. 55.(Chip’s leg was badly hurt) because he had been hit by a car. 56.It took half an hour. 57.In front of the minimart. 58.Possible answers: What a faithful dog you have! / What a loyal dog! / How could he be so devoted? / He’s such a good boy! / He’s a true friend indeed! / He must have missed you terribly! / Look at him, waiting patiently in the rain./ It’s amazing how much he loves you. 59.Possible answers: Yes, I think Mother was a responsible dog owner. She immediately took Chip to a vet when she found him hurt. She also made sure to reward him with treats after he was safely found. / Yes. She cared for Chip and made sure he was safe, showing that she was a responsible dog owner. / Yes. Mother was a responsible dog owner because she took Chip to the vet when he was hurt, cared for him, and was concerned when she realized he was missing, and went back to find him when he was accidentally left behind. / No, I do not think Mother was a responsible dog owner because she did not make sure Chip was safely in the car before leaving the minimart. She only realized he was missing after half an hour, showing a lack of attention to him.
