It’s a well-known joke that people who were strongly 1 keeping pets end up being the ones who love them most.

James’s initial 3 to get a dog doesn’t result from hate for these adorable animals. James and his wife Leah lead a very 4 lifestyle and enjoy traveling, so he thought adopting a dog would 5 their life in a way he didn’t want. However, sometimes 6 happens and there is nothing you can do. When James 7 Poundcake, he knew it was his dog. There was only one 8 — the puppy was deaf. However, it didn’t prevent him from getting his dog. He applied for Poundcake’s 9 without even telling Leah. Having a differently abled dog comes with certain 10 .

Leah and James 14 Poundcake with the care and consideration. So always take a chance on something you’d “never want”. Because one day, when you're sitting and 15 your rescue pup, you'll know what happiness is. 1．A．interested in B．opposed to C．serious about D．afraid of 2．A．still B．just C．never D．sometimes 3．A．refusal B．hesitation C．inability D．ignorance 4．A．boring B．stressful C．healthy D．active 5．A．build B．change C．threaten D．worsen 6．A．anger B．envy C．love D．sympathy 7．A．trained B．recognized C．fed D．saw 8．A．barrier B．problem C．risk D．mistake 9．A．adoption B．license C．advertisement D．claim 10．A．rewards B．advantages C．conflicts D．challenges 11．A．dull B．stupid C．anxious D．confused 12．A．calm down B．cheer up C．fit in D．come along 13．A．game B．technique C．memory D．scene 14．A．walk B．hold C．know D．treat 15．A．examining B．calling C．petting D．bathing 【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．B 6．C 7．D 8．B 9．A 10．D 11．C 12．A 13．B 14．D 15．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述曾坚决反对养狗的詹姆斯，因偶遇耳聋小狗Poundcake并领养，悉心照料，最终体悟到幸福真谛。 1．考查形容词短语辨析。句意：有个众所周知的笑话，那些强烈反对养宠物的人，最终往往是最爱它们的人。A. interested in对……感兴趣；B. opposed to反对……；C. serious about认真对待……；D. afraid of害怕……。根据上文“Never say never”和下文“end up being the ones who love them most”可知，前后形成转折，此处指最初反对养宠物的人，opposed to符合“态度相反”的语境。故选B项。 2． 考查副词词义辨析。句意：詹姆斯・科伯恩就是如此，他曾确信自己永远不会想要狗，但现在却为他的救援犬举办生日派对，确保它过上最好的生活。A. still仍然；B. just仅仅；C. never从不；D. sometimes有时。根据上文“people who were strongly 　1　　keeping pets”和后文的转折关系可知，他最初笃定自己不会想要狗，never与前文“反对”呼应，符合语境。故选C项。 3．考查名词词义辨析。句意：詹姆斯最初拒绝养狗，并非因为讨厌这些可爱的动物。A. refusal拒绝；B. hesitation犹豫；C. inability无能；D. ignorance无知。根据上文“was sure he’d 　2　want a dog”可知，他最初是拒绝养狗的，refusal对应“不想要”的态度。故选A项。 4．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：詹姆斯和妻子莉娅过着非常活跃的生活，喜欢旅行，所以他认为养狗会以他不希望的方式改变他们的生活。A. boring无聊的；B. stressful有压力的；C. healthy健康的；D. active活跃的。根据下文“enjoy traveling”可知，他们的生活方式是活跃的、喜欢外出的，active符合“爱旅行、生活不单调”的语境。故选D项。 5．考查动词词义辨析。句意：詹姆斯和妻子莉娅过着非常活跃的生活，喜欢旅行，所以他认为养狗会以他不希望的方式改变他们的生活。A. build建造；B. change改变；C. threaten威胁；D. worsen恶化。根据下文“their life in a way he didn't want”以及语境可知，养狗需要花费时间精力照顾，会打破他们原本爱旅行的生活节奏，即改变生活，change符合“生活状态发生变动”的语境。故选B项。 6．考查名词词义辨析。句意：然而，有时候爱会突然降临，你别无选择。A. anger愤怒；B. envy嫉妒；C. love爱；D. sympathy同情。根据上文“now hosts birthday parties for his rescue pup (小狗) and makes sure he is living the best life possible”和下文“he knew it was his dog”可知，他对小狗产生了喜爱之情，love对应“为小狗举办生日派对、悉心照顾”的行为。故选C项。 7．考查动词词义辨析。句意：当詹姆斯看到Poundcake（小狗名）时，他就知道这是他的狗。A. trained训练；B. recognized认出；C. fed喂养；D. saw看见。根据下文“he knew it was his dog”可知，这种确定感是在见到小狗的那一刻产生的，saw符合“初次相遇产生的触动”的语境。故选D项。 8．考查名词词义辨析。句意：只有一个问题——这只小狗是聋的。A. barrier障碍；B. problem问题；C. risk风险；D. mistake错误。根据下文“the puppy was deaf”以及语境可知，小狗耳聋是饲养过程中需要面对的实际情况，属于一个具体问题，problem符合“存在的不利情况”的语境。故选B项。 9．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但这并没有阻止他领养这只狗，他甚至没告诉莉娅就申请了领养Poundcake。A. adoption领养；B. license执照；C. advertisement广告；D. claim声称。根据上文“adopting a dog”可知，此处指申请领养小狗，adoption是同义词复现，符合语境。故选A项。 10．考查名词词义辨析。句意：养一只身体有特殊情况的狗会带来一些挑战。A. rewards回报；B. advantages优势；C. conflicts冲突；D. challenges挑战。根据下文“Because Poundcake cannot hear”以及语境可知，耳聋会给饲养带来不便，即挑战，challenges符合“需要克服的困难”的语境。故选D项。 11．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：因为Poundcake听不见，所以当听不到詹姆斯或莉娅在身边时，它有时会焦虑。A. dull迟钝的；B. stupid愚蠢的；C. anxious焦虑的；D. confused困惑的。根据下文“when he cannot hear James or Leah by his side”以及语境可知，小狗听不见声音，无法感知主人是否在身边，容易产生不安焦虑的情绪，anxious符合“缺乏安全感”的语境。故选C项。 12．考查动词短语辨析。句意：为了让它平静下来，他们会抱着它睡觉——这是一种能让它安心休息的方法。A. calm down平静下来；B. cheer up振作起来；C. fit in适应；D. come along出现。根据上文“he sometimes is 　11　”和下文“cuddle (抚抱) him to sleep”可知，拥抱睡觉是为了缓解它的焦虑，让它平静，calm down对应“焦虑”的情绪。故选A项。 13．考查名词词义辨析。句意：为了让它平静下来，他们会抱着它睡觉——这是一种能让它安心休息的方法。A. game游戏；B. technique方法、技巧；C. memory记忆；D. scene场景。根据上文“they cuddle (抚抱) him to sleep”以及语境可知，“抱着它睡觉”是缓解小狗焦虑的具体方式，technique符合“解决问题的具体方法”的语境。故选B项。 14．考查动词词义辨析。句意：莉娅和詹姆斯以关爱和体贴的态度对待Poundcake。A. walk散步；B. hold抱住；C. know了解；D. treat对待。根据下文“with the care and consideration”可知，此处指他们照顾小狗的方式，treat表示“以某种态度对待”，符合语境。故选D项。 15．考查动词词义辨析。句意：因为有一天，当你坐着抚摸你的救援犬时，你会明白幸福是什么。A. examining检查；B. calling呼唤；C. petting抚摸；D. bathing洗澡。根据上文“sitting”和下文“your rescue pup”可知，此处是温馨的互动场景，petting表示“温柔抚摸”，符合“感受幸福”的语境。故选C项。 Three little peas (豌豆) once lived together in a pod (豆荚). “We are green, and the pod is green, then everything else in the 1 must be green!” said one pea.

Where we live is semi rural, and although we had 1 many floods before, this time the water was much higher. We watched as the 2 water covered our beehives (蜂房). I can’t explain how 3 we felt. There was nothing we could do for them. The beehives were too heavy to move. My husband and I held each other and cried when we 4 them disappear. Our 29 5 were safe in the henhouse on a small hill — or so we thought. Suddenly we heard 6 squawking (尖叫). Our chickens sensed danger 7 the flood waters rose dangerously close to their home. Their squawking was loud. Suddenly, we saw a small boat with two 8 rowing towards us through the pouring rain. Maybe they could save our hens. The chickens were shoved into boxes and taped closed. Then, a few boxes of hens at a time were put in the boat and 9 to the safety of our tractor shed (拖拉机棚). It was 10 egg laying time, and the shed was warm and dry. We hung nets to keep the hens inside and used boxes as nests. We tore newspapers to make the nests comfortable. Twenty-four hours and a disturbing noise of chicken poo (鸡屎) later, the complaints were coming 11 from the hens.

Bryan and I decided to go to the pet store to get more fish. While waiting for busy clerks, we wandered to the bird area. Suddenly, something 1 happened: a small green bird in a full cage flew to the bars near us. To our surprise, it 2 us as we walked around the cage! When I gently reached toward it, instead of flying away like others, the bird 3 its head, silently asking for kindness. My heart melted, and I 4 to take it home immediately. We named him Indy. Remarkably, he became deeply 5 to us within hours. We let him outside where he 6 joyfully with fallen leaves, chasing small sticks across the 7 for two hours. Later, while I was showering inside, Bryan 8 called me outside. There lay Indy in his hand, body extremely 9 , unable to lift his head. Closer look showed a sad 10 : Indy lacked the bottom half of his beak (喙). Of course we did not notice this at the pet store. The little bird likely hadn’t 11 for days. We tried to offer him some soft food, but it just ran out right. Holding back tears, we sat on the bed, 12 touching his feathers. Then came a deep moment: Indy suddenly raised his head, 13 his wings fully like a bird taking flight, and quietly died. That night, I thought about life’s meaning. Perhaps Indy’s short life wasn’t about teaching me, but about finding love in his final moments — to leave 14 in caring hands, not left alone in a cold cage. This changed my view: events in our lives may help others’ journeys, and every living thing has a special 15 . 1．A．boring B．confusing C．shocking D．amazing 2．A．led B．followed C．guided D．avoided 3．A．lowered B．shook C．hid D．turned 4．A．waited B．decided C．agreed D．feared 5．A．close B．known C．attached D．used 6．A．fought B．played C．buried D．cleaned 7．A．ground B．stone C．wood D．carpet 8．A．angrily B．softly C．urgently D．happily 9．A．weak B．strong C．lively D．stiff 10．A．principle B．belief C．theory D．truth 11．A．eaten B．slept C．rested D．exercised 12．A．quickly B．gently C．roughly D．carelessly 13．A．closed B．washed C．spread D．moved 14．A．well-fed B．fully-healed C．deeply-loved D．clearly-seen 15．A．life B．love C．feeling D．purpose An Encounter with Nature As a nature photographer, my favourite place to take photos is Yellowstone National Park. As the world’s first national park, Yellowstone is famous for the 1 of its wildlife, but it is probably best known for its bears. These huge, strong animals can live for 30 years. 2 a weight of up to 300 kilograms, they can run at a speed of around 64 kilometres per hour and are also 3 swimmers. Last spring in Yellowstone, I followed a path that took me through a dark forest. When I finally 4 out of the trees, the view was breathtaking. An eagle 5 over the snow-capped mountains, which were 6 in the still lake below. While I was concentrating on photographing this 7 scene, I suddenly had a 8 that I was being watched. Slowly, and with the camera still held to my eye, I turned… and 9 . Only metres away from me was a bear. With water falling off its thick, brown hair, the bear stared back at me. Time stood 10 as the bear and I both waited to see who would move first. My legs started 11 . Somehow, I forced my finger to press the 12 . A second later, the bear turned and ran back into the forest. When I recovered from the 13 , I looked at my camera. My most frightening but 14 experience was now captured forever in a single image. From time to time I look at the photo as a 15 to show respect to all animals. It is after all we who are the visitors to their world. 1．A．importance B．curiosity C．variety D．anxiety 2．A．Except B．Without C．Concerning D．Despite 3．A．excellent B．determined C．patient D．effective 4．A．looked B．stepped C．flew D．crawled 5．A．climbed B．flew C．ran D．turned 6．A．reflected B．focused C．contained D．covered 7．A．frightening B．inspiring C．disappointing D．amazing 8．A．memory B．option C．feeling D．theme 9．A．smiled B．breathed C．ran D．froze 10．A．calm B．still C．silent D．quiet 11．A．moving B．burning C．shaking D．freezing 12．A．button B．lens C．screen D．image 13．A．memory B．shock C．sickness D．fantasy 14．A．mysterious B．familiar C．magical D．professional 15．A．feature B．scene C．reaction D．reminder The heaviest snow in a hundred years hit the south of China. It snowed 1 for half a month. Many people were 2 in railway stations, bus stations and airports. People did everything they could to fight the 3 ; nobody was killed from cold and 4 . Gradually, the trapped people all went back home 5 . While fighting the snow, people 6 their animal friends until a moving story of a swallow couple appeared on the Internet. The couple hadn’t eaten anything for several days 7 the snow. They tried to fly into people’s home to warm themselves, but every house was 8 tightly. They got to a side of a balcony (阳台) where wind couldn’t reach. They jumped and flapped (拍打) their wings to 9 the attention of the people inside the house, who were 10 their own things. The wife’s body was 11 . She couldn’t move any longer. The husband came near and 12 her with his wings. The husband lost his heat soon because of his opened wings. The next morning, the housemaster went to the balcony to 13 his flowers and saw a dead swallow outside. 14 it, he found they were two embracing (拥抱) together. Thinking of the 15 the snow had brought to people, he was moved to tears. He took them in for giving them some warmness they couldn’t feel any longer. He found a small box, filled it with some hay (干草) and lay the couple in. He buried them in the garden of the community. 1．A．beautifully B．directly C．gently D．continuously 2．A．forbidden B．rescued C．trapped D．covered 3．A．war B．disaster C．campaign D．disease 4．A．anger B．heat C．hunger D．poverty 5．A．safely B．sadly C．nervously D．curiously 6．A．treasured B．invited C．accepted D．forgot 7．A．because of B．in case of C．in spite of D．instead of 8．A．controlled B．fixed C．stretched D．closed 9．A．admit B．attract C．turn D．escape 10．A．busy with B．born with C．good for D．famous for 11．A．burnt B．watched C．frozen D．found 12．A．supplied B．wrapped C．folded D．sorted 13．A．buy B．send C．check D．sell 14．A．Feeding B．Leaving C．Greeting D．Touching 15．A．hardship B．childhood C．cooperation D．lesson Last summer, I joined a volunteer team to help protect wildlife in Tibet. At first, I felt nervous because I had never been to such a high 1 before. The air was thin, and I got headaches easily. But I didn’t want to 2 — I had promised to contribute to something 3 . Our task was to 4 Tibetan antelopes and record their behavior. Every morning before sunrise, we climbed the hills with binoculars and notebooks. It was tough, but gradually, I began to 5 to the environment. My body grew stronger, and my mind became sharper. One day, we saw a group of antelopes running 6 . It turned out that illegal hunters were nearby. We quickly contacted the local 7 , who arrived within an hour. Thanks to our timely report, the hunters were caught. That night, our team leader said, “You’ve made a real 8 .” I felt proud. I realized that even small actions can 9 when people work together. We also learned how human activities 10 wildlife habitats. This experience made me more 11 of environmental issues. Before we left, a local elder 12 us with warm butter tea and said, “The land remembers kindness.” His words 13 me deeply. Now, back at school, I often tell others what I’ve learned. I believe that if everyone 14 a little, the world can become a better place.

It’s a well-known joke that people who were strongly 1 keeping pets end up being the ones who love them most. The same happened to James Coburn, who was sure he’d 2 want a dog, but now hosts birthday parties for his rescue pup (小狗) and makes sure he is living the best life possible. James’s initial 3 to get a dog doesn’t result from hate for these adorable animals. James and his wife Leah lead a very 4 lifestyle and enjoy traveling, so he thought adopting a dog would 5 their life in a way he didn’t want. However, sometimes 6 happens and there is nothing you can do. When James 7 Poundcake, he knew it was his dog. There was only one 8 — the puppy was deaf. However, it didn’t prevent him from getting his dog. He applied for Poundcake’s 9 without even telling Leah. Having a differently abled dog comes with certain 10 . Because Poundcake cannot hear, he sometimes is 11 when he cannot hear James or Leah by his side. To make him 12 , they cuddle (抚抱) him to sleep — a 13 that allows him to rest peacefully. Leah and James 14 Poundcake with the care and consideration. So always take a chance on something you’d “never want”. Because one day, when you're sitting and 15 your rescue pup, you'll know what happiness is. 1．A．interested in B．opposed to C．serious about D．afraid of 2．A．still B．just C．never D．sometimes 3．A．refusal B．hesitation C．inability D．ignorance 4．A．boring B．stressful C．healthy D．active 5．A．build B．change C．threaten D．worsen 6．A．anger B．envy C．love D．sympathy 7．A．trained B．recognized C．fed D．saw 8．A．barrier B．problem C．risk D．mistake 9．A．adoption B．license C．advertisement D．claim 10．A．rewards B．advantages C．conflicts D．challenges 11．A．dull B．stupid C．anxious D．confused 12．A．calm down B．cheer up C．fit in D．come along 13．A．game B．technique C．memory D．scene 14．A．walk B．hold C．know D．treat 15．A．examining B．calling C．petting D．bathing Three little peas (豌豆) once lived together in a pod (豆荚). “We are green, and the pod is green, then everything else in the 1 must be green!” said one pea. As time passed, the peas and the pod grew bigger. “Will we stay here forever?” asked another pea. “I 2 what the world outside is like and what we can do!” One day, there was a great 3 when they were put into a basin in an apartment where a kind woman lived with her 4 daughter who couldn’t go outside to play. Days passed quietly. “What are those green things?” the girl suddenly asked 5 one morning. “Oh, they look like tiny pea plants!” the mother answered. Her daughter climbed out of bed, 6 the little plants in surprise. The woman tied a stick to them. “They will climb up to get closer to the sun!” she 7 . Every day, the girl watched. To her great amazement, new leaves 8 to catch the sun. “How lovely!” she shouted, “When I watch them grow, I feel 9 !” The girl did seem stronger and happier than ever before! One afternoon some days later, the girl 10 , “You must see this!” A little pink 11 had come out on the pea plant. The mother 12 that her daughter’s cheeks were now pink, too. “Thank you, little plants, for bringing such 13 to our home!” thought the mother. The little pea was 14 to have brought happiness into their lives! It finally understood that their purpose was to 15 the world, even with just a touch of pink. 1．A．world B．room C．bank D．field 2．A．doubt B．know C．concern D．wonder 3．A．accident B．change C．request D．diet 4．A．slim B．strict C．sick D．shy 5．A．curiously B．awkwardly C．humorously D．gracefully 6．A．depending on B．staring at C．looking into D．going over 7．A．added B．cheated C．ordered D．announced 8．A．jogged B．closed C．hiked D．appeared 9．A．fatter B．luckier C．healthier D．warmer 10．A．called out B．turned up C．worked out D．made up 11．A．flower B．seed C．fruit D．light 12．A．accepted B．applied C．noticed D．recorded 13．A．credit B．food C．joy D．space 14．A．honest B．glad C．difficult D．challenging 15．A．help B．please C．decorate D．color In 2011 our home near Brisbane was flooded with waters. Where we live is semi rural, and although we had 1 many floods before, this time the water was much higher. We watched as the 2 water covered our beehives (蜂房). I can’t explain how 3 we felt. There was nothing we could do for them. The beehives were too heavy to move. My husband and I held each other and cried when we 4 them disappear. Our 29 5 were safe in the henhouse on a small hill — or so we thought. Suddenly we heard 6 squawking (尖叫). Our chickens sensed danger 7 the flood waters rose dangerously close to their home. Their squawking was loud. Suddenly, we saw a small boat with two 8 rowing towards us through the pouring rain. Maybe they could save our hens. The chickens were shoved into boxes and taped closed. Then, a few boxes of hens at a time were put in the boat and 9 to the safety of our tractor shed (拖拉机棚). It was 10 egg laying time, and the shed was warm and dry. We hung nets to keep the hens inside and used boxes as nests. We tore newspapers to make the nests comfortable. Twenty-four hours and a disturbing noise of chicken poo (鸡屎) later, the complaints were coming 11 from the hens. The tractors weren’t comfortable for resting, and the nesting boxes, well, excuse me, 12 where were the soft wood shavings (刨花) they normally sat on to lay their eggs? 13 the floodwaters subsided (回落) before there was a total revolt (起义)! While they were happily nesting back in Fowl Manor (家禽庄园), it took us many days to 14 the tractors — it is 15 just how much mess 29 hens can make! We will be forever grateful for the kindness of those two strangers. 1．A．experienced B．avoided C．forgotten D．missed 2．A．clean B．cold C．muddy D．hot 3．A．delighted B．upset C．enthusiastic D．annoyed 4．A．watched B．heard C．had D．felt 5．A．ducks B．hens C．cocks D．bees 6．A．curious B．excited C．frightened D．anxious 7．A．until B．while C．as D．unless 8．A．neighbors B．strangers C．relatives D．fishermen 9．A．flown B．swept C．returned D．rowed 10．A．close to B．back to C．equal to D．up to 11．A．loudly B．slowly C．quietly D．happily 12．A．and B．but C．so D．or 13．A．Unluckily B．Particularly C．Unusually D．Thankfully 14．A．clean B．repair C．paint D．bury 15．A．relaxing B．interesting C．boring D．surprising 重难语篇提升练 “Father, I don’t like to go to school,” said Harry Williams one morning. “I wish you would let me stay at home. Charles Parker’s father doesn’t make him go to school.” Mr. Williams took his little boy 1 the hand, and said kindly to him, “Come, my son. I want to 2 you something in the garden.” Harry walked into the garden with his father, who led him along 3 they came to a bed in which peas were growing. Not a weed was to be 4 about their roots. “See how beautifully these peas are 5 , my son,” said Mr. Williams. “How clean and healthy the vines (藤) look. We shall have a good 6 . Now let me show you the vines in Mr. Parker’s garden.” Mr. Williams then 7 Harry to look at Mr. Parker’s pea vines. After a few moments, Mr. Williams asked, “Well, my son, what do you 8 Mr. Parker’s pea vines?” “Oh, Father!” replied the little boy. “I never saw such 9 looking peas in my life! The weeds are nearly as high as the peas themselves. There won’t be half a crop!” “ Why are they so much worse than ours, Harry?” “Because they have been left to grow as they 10 . I suppose Mr. Parker just planted them, and never took any care of them 11 ” “Yes. A garden will soon be overrun with weeds if it is not taken good care of,” Mr. Williams 12 , “and so it is with the human garden. Children’s minds are like garden beds.

Jung is known for his 1 of big cats like leopards, which 2 him to spend considerable time in India’s forests. While there, he also bears witness to a host of incredible 3 between animals. In the stunning photo, an elephant 4 from behind a tree with smoky jungle mist in the background. But at a closer glance, the elephant is not the only 5 in this story. Perched (栖息) on the elephant’s tusk is a small black bird, which almost appears to be 6 into the large animal’s eyes. This is no ordinary bird, but a myna bird, which has a mutualistic relationship with elephants. They eat parasites that inhabit the elephant’s skin, providing a service to keep it healthy while enjoying a 7 . The elephant appears to glance down, “thanking” his friend. Thanks to Jung’s 8 photography, the world can see just how special this “friendship” really is. Actually, this is just one of many symbiotic relationships Jung has 9 . In an interview, he shared one more example: “The monkey drops fruits from the trees for the deer to eat, while the deer 10 a lookout for predators, helping keep the monkeys 11 .” He also expressed equal fascination with the hidden 12 between trees and fungi, which exchange nutrients and information through vast underground networks.

Then came a ripple in the universe. My friend asked me for a 2 adopting her dog, Twinkles, a small lapdog. I reluctantly 3 . Twinkles had lived a(n) 4 existence and had never even walked on green grass. She wouldn’t go out with me initially, but I 5 her out the door, knowing it would do her and me good. A special bond and growing trust 6 . After all, discomfort is often the external 7 needed to jump-start growth, and that day was a good beginning! Happy time flew! Twinkles and I had to move to Medellin, Colombia. I believe it was a good chance to change. “Aggressive Tom” would not be 8 tolerated; I had to become “Gentle Tom.” Relaxed, 9 , and calm. Similarly, Twinkles was presented with the 10 to become “Twinkles Princess.” Twinkles and I shared remarkable 11 , from walks in the local parks to exploring the transformative neighborhood of Comuna 13. She was a natural star, and her charm effortlessly 12 the locals, fostering conversations that 13 cultural gaps. I gradually had a sense of belonging.
