Does Kilimanjaro 60 its reputation as a crowded mountain with lines of tourists ruining the atmosphere of peace? I found the opposite to be true.

【答案】 41—45 CABCA 46—50 DBCAD 51—55 ABDCB
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者离开俄亥俄小镇去外地上学后,从最初被同学视为“新奇事物”到逐渐感恩小镇根脉的心路历程,表达了对小镇慢节奏生活和深厚人际纽带的眷恋与珍视。
【详解】
41. C 根据下文同学们对俄亥俄州知之甚少,纷纷问出Do you have to fIy home? Do you live on a farm?等问题可知,作者去宾夕法尼亚上学后不久就“认识到”(realization)人们对我的家乡了解之少。
42. A 根据下文 three and a half hours away 及 most of my classmates thought of Ohio as a whole different world可知,三个半小时的距离实际上很近,但同学们却觉得很远,A项only可强调这个短距离,与后文“a whole different world”形成反差。even表示递进,但文中没有更远的距离作对比;still和indeed都无法体现“距离实际很近但觉得远”的反差。
43. B 根据上文 Do you have to fly home? Do you live on a farm?可知, 这些都是同学们提出的“问题”(questions),与never-ending搭配表示问题没完没了,直接呼应上文两个问句。
44.C 根据上文同学们对俄亥俄州几乎一无所知、问出各种离谱问题可知,在同学眼中作者来自一个陌生之地,是个新奇的存在(novelty),体现因不了解而产生的陌生感与好奇感。
45.A 根据下文I'm convinced that it took48our small town to realize how much we actually loved it 以及 I am grateful for 可知, 随着年龄增长,作者越来越感恩(thankfu1)小镇根脉,与最后一段中的grateful形成语义呼应。
46. D 根据下文 how bored we were in the middle of nowhere 可知, 朋友们]感到无聊,自然会抱怨(complain),这里表达了对家乡乏味的不满。
47.B 根据上文朋友们对家乡的无聊感受以及下文作者意识到自己其实深爱小镇可知,前后语义构成转折,因此however符合语境。
48. C 根上文I went to school in central Pennsylvania 以及下文 to realize how much we actually loved it (其中 it指代 our small town) 可知, 作者是离开(leaving)小镇后才意识到自己有多爱它。
49. A 根下文 connecting to each other以及You do more than just talk to your neighbors可知,人们主动积极地与他人建立联系,认为这件事重要,A项value符合语境。
50. D 根据上文 You do more than just talk to your neighbors以及in a lot of cases,they're truly an_50_ of your family 可知,邻的关系已经超出了普通邻里的范畴(extension),更像是家人。
51.A 上文Much of this中的this指代前一段描述的“慢节奏、人们重视彼此联系、邻居像家人”等一系列特征,再结合下文centers around being outside and knowing the ins and outs of the town (围绕户外活动和对小镇了如指掌)可知,空白处需要一个词来概括这些不同侧面的共同属性,A项lifestyle(日常生活方式)符合句意。
52. B 根据上文being present and mindful of your 52 以及前一分句being outside and knowing the ins and outs of the town (在户外、 熟悉小的里里外外)可知,这两个动作都是关于周围环境(surroundings),surroundings 和the ins and outs of the town语义连贯,共同描绘融入小镇生活的画面。
53.D 根据下文I am grateful for ...以及全文的感恩基调可知,作者对“回小镇探访”这件事的态度是积极的、盼望的 (look forward to)。
54.C 根据上文I grew up in a little town以及全文对小镇生活的具体描述(慢节奏、邻里关系、户外文化等)可知,作者感激的不是某一个具体的“机会”或“荣誉”,而是整个成长过程中所拥有的各种体验和经历(experience)。
55.B 根据上文作者多次表达对小镇生活的珍视以及本句I can 55 my small town roots to lead me in the right direction 可知,作者认为小根基能引导自己走向正确方向,因此他对这份根基的态度应是信赖 (trust),且trust 5 something to do something是常见搭配。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者未经尝试就放弃写作梦想,转而教书。然而有学生指出作者从未尝试过实现自己的梦想,却教导他人追梦,这促使她做出改变,最终找到热爱的事业。
【详解】
41.D 根据段句I never thought I could be a writer.可知,作者谈论的是有关作家的事情,因此这里是在进一步解释原因,即自己并非出身于一个有文学(literary)背景的家庭。
42.B 作者在上文中提到I never thought I could be a writer.,又指出自己缺乏文学家庭背景,由此可知作者曾将其视为成为作家的一个主要困难(problem)。
43.C 根据空白处前的 convinced that writing wasn't for me 和 空白处后的to study teaching可知,作者认为自己不适合写作,于是转而(went off)去学习教育。Step aside意为“让位,退位”,getup意为“起床,起立”turn back意为“原路返回,往回走”。

45. C 根据段末学生所说的 you are telling us to live our dreams 可知,作者上课时鼓励学生写下自已的梦想(dreams)。
46.B 上文提到作者现在是一名老师,在课堂上鼓励学生写下梦想,下文又向学生解释自己小时候原本是想当作家的。由此可推断,学生的问题是想确认,当老师(teacher)是否是作者一直以来的梦想。
47.D 根据句意可知,作者此处在向学生解释自己缺乏当作家所需(took)的条件,所以没有成为作家。Have what it takes为固定习语,意为“具备某事所需的素质/能力”。
48. D 根据下文学生的话 ... you are telling us to live our dreams when you haven't even done it yourself.可知,学生认为作者自己都没实现梦想,却教别人追寻梦想,因此不以为然(disapproving)地看了作者一眼。
49.A 根据上文可知,学生并不认可作者放弃梦想的理由,并进一步提问作者是否曾经尝试过(tried)追求梦想。
50.B 根据段首的I was struck speechless和第四段首句中作者决定重返大学学习创意写作可知,作者认为学生的批评是有道理的(right)。
51.C根据上文可知,作者自己没有追寻过梦想,却教导学生勇敢追梦,自我反思后,认为自己没有资格对学生说教(lecture)。lecture sb on sth 意为“就某事对某人说教”。
52. D 根上文学生的话 ... you are telling us to live our dreams when you haven't even done it yourself. Have you even 49 ? 以及空白处前作者的心理活动可知,作者发觉自己从未认真对待过自己的梦想,即愿望(desires)。
53. B 根据下文 I applied to go back to university and study creative writing和 but the boy's words kept ringing in my ears 可知,正是这次与学生的谈话(conversation)促使作者改变了人生方向。
54.A 根据下文find a way out of my shame 可知,作者后来克服了内心的羞愧才获得成功,因此作者知道自己需要的只是一点自信(self-belief)和努力。
55. C 根据后半句的 find a way out of my shame and into a pattern of work that I loved可知,作者最终成功摆脱了羞愧感,并找到了热爱的工作方式。manage to do sth意为“设法完成某事”。

【导读】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者在搬家过程中通过分享不需要的物品减少浪费,与他人建立联系,从中获得了快乐。
【详解】
41.C 根据上文 sold our house 及下文 donated what we could 可知, 作者夫妻忙于清空住了23年的家。emptying out意为“清空”,符合搬家前整理物品的语境。
42.D 第五段中提到I sit in my apartment today,此处为原词复现,指搬到城里的公寓(apartment)。
43. A 根上文 rented a place 和下文 supposedly important objects 可知, 租地方是为了储存(store)物品。
44.C根据下文with things和语境可知,这里是描述房子里仍堆满物品的状态。stuffed with为固定搭配,意为“塞满”,符合语境。
45.B 根据下文 didn't belong in a landfill 可知,这些物品不特别贵重(valuable),但也不是完全没用的废品。valuable与“填埋”的取舍逻辑直接关联,符合语境。
46.B 结合上文took a picture 和 posted it online 可知,作者给花瓶拍了照片并在网上发布,因此潜在买家要求提供更多物品的照片(photos)以了解细节是合理的。

48.C "I hate this vase. Maybe you won't.”是重新发帖时对物品的描述(description),符合网络交易的逻辑。

【详解】
41. B 根据下文的 They could not afford to pay for ... 可知这家人生活比较拮据,无法负担运送宠物的费用,on a very tight budget 意为“预算非常紧张”
42. D 根据上文的 They had to move to Virginia ... 以及下文的 ... wanted to take her with them.可知这家人想要带上宠物狗一起搬到弗吉尼亚,但是由于预算非常紧张,负担不起狗的运输(transportation)费用。
43.A根据第三段中狗主人的紧张表现可知,主人对其宠物狗非常在意,因此此处应该是非常(desperately)想要把狗带到新家去。
44. C 根据上文的 I saw a post on the PNP (Pilot N Paws) website ... 以及下文的 I was planning another PNP flight ...可知,作者在 PNP 网站上看到一个来自托皮卡市的家庭发布的求助帖,那时候作者也碰巧(happened)有一个PNP飞行计划。
45.B 根据第二段内容可知,作者与另一个飞行员 Karen在策划这次运送宠物狗的分工,可知 Karen是主动提出(offered)要将宠物狗Tiffy 从堪萨斯城送往弗吉尼亚的。
46.D 上文提到了宠物狗Tiffy最初是在托皮卡市,Karen负责将Tiffy 从堪萨斯城送往弗吉尼亚,而作者则负责从托皮卡市到堪萨斯城这一段的路程,因此首先应该去托皮卡市接(pickup)Tiffy。

50. B 根据上文having to leave his dog to ... and trust that everything would...可知,狗的主人George虽然很担忧,但是不得不将宠物狗交于陌生人之手,并希望一切都进展顺利(workout)。

52.A 根据上文可知,堪萨斯城只是一个运送宠物的中转地,George一家并不在此地,因此join“加入”和serve“服务”均不正确。该空后的代词them 指的是George 夫妇,因此leave“离开"或“留下”也不正确。恰当的语义应为“我保证会好好照顾Tiffy,并且一到堪萨斯城就打电话给(call)George 夫妇”。
53.D 根据下文的...and Tiffy was a great passenger. 可知,这次飞行很平静顺利(uneventful)。
54. C 根据 The flight was ..., and Tiffy was a great passenger. 可知, 者已带着狗狗Tiffy成功到达了堪萨斯城。后半部分行程应是另一位飞行员Karen带着 Tiffy 继续飞往(flew)弗吉尼亚。

【导语】作者回忆了两次和家人一起露营的经历,虽然很惊险,但最后都平安度过危机。因此,一家人很享受一起露营所带来的未知的乐趣和冒险。
【详解】
41.C根据第二段的from the early years when ... 和 Once 及第三段的Another time 可知,作者是在回忆和家人的露营经历,一些回忆(memories)很有趣。
42. A根据第一段的wonderful camping experiences 和下文的...to keep him near to our spot 可知,作者一家是在Chalk Creek岸边露营(camped)。
43. D 根据 文的 I tied a rope around his waist to keep him near to our spot.可知,作者担心(worried)儿子会掉进小溪里,所以拿绳子绑在他身上。
44.C根据下文的his crying可知,绳子绑在孩子身上让他觉得不舒服(uncomfortable).
45. B 根据上文的 That lasted about ten minutes.和下文的 I just kept a close eye on him.可知,绳子绑在孩子身上十分钟左右就取下来了,作者只能紧盯着他。所以instead of符合语境。
46.A 根据下一句he didn't end up in the creek可知,紧盯着孩子起了作用(worked),孩子没有掉进小溪里。
47. D 根据下文的 but storms move in fast in the mountains 可知,山的暴风雨来得很迅猛,but 在此处表示转折,表明作者一家出发(headed off)时天气还很晴朗。sign up意为“报名(参加课程)”;calm down意为“(使)平静,镇静”;check out意为“结账离开(旅馆等)”,均不符合语境。
48.B 根据上文可知,作者一家出发时天气晴朗,而这场突如其来的暴风雨中断了(interrupted)他们平静的清晨之旅。

50. C 根据下文的We were stuck in the middle of the lake with a dead motor.可知,发动机无法启动了。所以此处是说作者的丈夫停止钓鱼,试图去启动(start)发动机。
51. A 根据下一句 We were stuck in the middle of the lake with a dead motor.可知,他们被困在了湖中央,也就是说很不幸(No luck),作者的丈夫第二次仍然没能成功启动发动机。因此luck符合语境。
52.D 根据上文可知,作者一家被困在了湖中央,因此他们坐在那里,感到无助(helplessly)。
53. C 根据上文中的 a fisherman pulled up, threw us a rope and towed us back可知,他们的船被一位渔民拖到了岸上,即他们安全了(safe)。
54. D 根据下文的 wondering what camping fun ... we will experience next可知,他们好奇接下来的露营会经历什么有趣的事情,因此兴奋(excitement) 不已.
55.B 根据上文作者的回忆可知,露营非常有趣,但同时也是一场冒险(adventure),会有意想不到的危险发生。

What if later in 54 they come to a metaphorical door, like an opportunity(机会) of some sort, and 55 opening the door and taking the opportunity, they just 56 it and wonder, "What if it isn’t a door?" That is, "What if it isn’t a 57 opportunity?"
Maybe it’s an unreasonable fear. But the 58 is that I shouldn’t lie to my kids. I should just 59 repeatedly having to say, "No. We can’t go outside now." Then when they come to other doors in life, be they real or metaphorical, they won’t 60 to open them and walk through.

【导语】在生活中,父母可以向孩子撒谎吗?如果父母对孩子撒谎有可能会对孩子造成精神上的伤害。
【详解】
41.C 结合上下文可知,作者夫妇告诉孩子们那扇滑动玻璃门只是一扇窗户,而对孩子们撒谎的原因是想要阻止他们出去,这个“原因”是显而易见的。
42.A 作者夫妇向孩子们撒谎,否认sliding glass door是一扇门,因为如果他们“承认”这一事实,孩子们就会要求打开门出去。
43. B 由下一句It will drive us crazy 和最后一句中的 millions of requests to open the door可知,孩子们会“不断地”要求打开门出去。
44.D 根据此句中的apparently,以及下一句开头的but可知,孩子们显然知道“事实”,但是作者夫妇坚持那是一扇窗的说法还是阻止了孩子们想要出去的意图。
44. A 根据第一段第一句中的just a window可知,此空选merely。
45. D 与上文提到的they’ll want to go outside constantly 对应可知,此处应为attempt millions of requests to open the door,即"总是试图求打开门”。
47.C 根据此空后的discover以及事情发展的逻辑顺序可知,孩子们终有一天会“醒悟”并发现事实。
48.B 上文一直在叙述作者夫妇向孩子们撒谎,而终有一天孩子们会发现父母关于“门”的说法是一个“谎言”。
49.A 本文通篇都在讲述“父母”是否应对孩子撒谎及其对孩子的影响。
50.D 本段主要讲述了父母对孩子撒谎可能会对孩子造成不好的影响,这是对孩子撒谎带来的“后果”
51.B 根据最后一段第一句 Maybe it's an unreasonable fear 可知此空填fear。
52.C 根据此空后的内容可知,作者担心关于“门”的谎言会对孩子的认知产生影响,让孩子对生活中像“门可以打开”这种确定无疑的事实产生怀疑;当机会出现的时候,孩子也会对这是不是机会产生疑虑。这种影响是无形的、看不见的,是对孩子“精神或心灵上的”伤害。
53.B 本段中,作者将“机会”比喻为“门”,而生活中的机会对于每个人来说都是“重要的”,因此,在生活中,门和窗有着“重要的”比喻意义。
54.A 根据最后一段最后一句中的Then when they come to other doors in life,be they real or metaphorical在现实生活中,无论他们遇到真实的还是比喻的门......可知,此处指如果他们在以后的“生活”中遇到“比喻的门”即机会时会怎样。
55.D 根据__56 空前后的just和wonder可知,孩子们“没有"打开门去抓住机会。
56. B 根据空后 it and wonder, "What if it isn't a door?" That is, "What if it isn't a 57_ opportunity?”可知,孩子们产生了怀疑,并没有抓住机会,只是“盯着”那扇“门”。
57.A 父母坚持告诉孩子们“那只是一扇窗户”,让孩子们对“门”的真实性产生了怀疑,而当机会到来时,孩子们也会对机会是否“真实”产生怀疑。
58.C 本段中作者表明了自己的态度,不论撒谎会对孩子造成伤害的担忧是否合理,是否会发生,父母都不应对孩子撒谎,这是“底线”,是基本原则。
59.D 根据下一句可知,作者会告诉孩子“那是一扇门,但是现在还不能出去”,由此可知,作者认为自己应该“接受”告知孩子们“门”的真相,尽管这意味着会不断拒绝孩子们出去的要求。
60.C 当父母不再向孩子们撒谎,那么当孩子们看到“门”的时候也不会怀疑,他们会没有“顾虑”地打开门,走过去。与第三段倒数第二句中的stare at it and wonder形成对比,此处要表达“没有疑虑,没有顾虑”的意味。

Hearing these stories, I’m 44 about the place — other destinations are described as "purer" natural experiences.
However, I soon 45 that much has changed since the days of disturbing reports of 46 among tons of rubbish. I find a 47 mountain, with toilets at camps and along the paths. The environmental challenges are 48 but the efforts made by the Tanzania National Park Authority seem to be 49 .
The best of a Kilimanjaro 50 , in my opinion, isn’t reaching the top. Mountains are 51 as spiritual places by many cultures. This 52 is especially evident on Kilimanjaro as 53 go through five ecosystems(生态系统)in the space of a few kilometers. At the base is a rainforest. It ends abruptly at 3, 000 meters, 54 lands of low growing plants. Further up, the weather 55 — low clouds envelope the mountainsides, which are covered with thick grass. I 56 twelve shades of green from where I stand. Above 4, 000 meters is the highland 57 : gravel(砾石), stones and rocks. 58 you climb into an arctic-like zone with 59 snow and the glaciers that may soon disappear.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了非洲乞力马扎罗山的环境污染以及当地机构努力治理之后环境的改观。
【详解】
41.D 根据空前一句提到每年大约40000人试图攀登非洲最高峰-- 乞力马扎罗山,空后一句提到......可能破坏这一地方的美丽,可知此空选bring,即登山者带来了大量的垃圾。
42.C 根据上文可知登山者带来了大量的垃圾,所以登山者可能破坏了这一地区的美丽。crowds此处意为“一群......的人”,照应了首句的40,000 people.
43.C 综合第一段,作者描述了乞力马扎罗山因为人类活动所受到的影响,此句又提到冰川正在消失,这改变了乞力马扎罗山的面貌。face此处意为“外观;面貌”。
44.B 从破折号后的内容“其他目的地都被描述为更加纯净的自然之旅”与作者听到的乞力马扎罗山受到污染的消息形成鲜明对比,作者对此感到怀疑----为什么别的地方是干净,而乞力马扎罗山却被污染了呢?
45.A上一段提到作者对于有关乞力马扎罗山被污染的消息感到怀疑,本句开头however表示转折,作者很快发现事实并非如此。
46.C 作者很快发现自那些令人不安的报道以来,情况已经发生了很大的改变。那些报道都是关于乞力马扎罗山的污染,而登山者必然是在满是垃圾的山上搭帐篷露营。
47.D 根据下文提到的在营地和沿途中都有卫生间,可知作者看到的是一座环境“干净”的山。
48.C 根据句中的but可知其前后是转折关系,再根据上一句提到的“干净”的山,可知此句意为:环境保护的难度虽然巨大,但是坦桑尼亚国家公园管理局的努力似乎见效了。
49.A 根据上文可知此处是说坦桑尼亚国家公园管理局为环境保护所做的努力有了回报。pay off意为“成功;奏效”;spread out意为“展开”;blow up意为“爆炸”;fade away意为“(人)衰弱;病重死亡”。
50.B 本段主要描述了乞力马扎罗山从山脚到山顶的五种生态系统,第一句作为本段的主题句,可知作者在此处点明攀登乞力马扎罗山最棒的体验并不在于登顶(而是体验登山过程中五种生态系统的变化)。experience意为“经历;体验”
51.D 在诸多文化里,山都有着某种精神的意义。be regarded as被视为......
52.A 根据上一句提到的很多文化将山视为有着精神层面的意义,这是一种“观点”,这种观点在乞力马扎罗山尤为明显。
53.B 只有登山者在登山途中,在短短几公里的空间内可以经历五种生态系统。
54.D 这五种生态系统,从下至上,在山脚是雨林,到海拔3000米的时候,雨林突然变成了大量的低矮植物。give way to本意为“给......让路”,此处指“被......替代”;hold on to意为“保住;不送或不卖”;go back to意为“回到;重新开始”;live up to意为“符合;不辜负”。
55.A 从山脚的雨林到海拔3000米的低矮植物,再往上变成了被低低的云团笼罩着的、长满茂密草丛的山坡,生态系统发生了变化,气候自然也要发生改变。
56.C 此句中的shade是一大陷阱,整段描写的是乞力马扎罗山生态系统的多样性,从雨林到低矮植物再到茂密草丛,虽然都是绿色,但也各不相同,因此此句是指从作者所站的地方就能“数”出12种色度不同的绿色。shade在此意为“浓淡深浅;色度”。
57.B 根据空后描述的砾石,石头和岩石,可知海拔4000米以上就是高原荒漠。
58.D 本段前面的内容已经描述了四种不同的生态系统,此处应该要到达乞力马扎罗山的最高处了,“最终”登山者进入了一个类似北极的区域。
59.A 根据空前“一个类似北极的地区”可知,这个地区终年积雪。permanent意为“永久的”。
60.B 纵观全文,文章开头讲到有报道称乞力马扎罗山受到污染,作者提出了质疑,并发现其环境污染问题已经有了很大改观;随后以大段文字描写了乞力马扎罗山奇妙的生态系统,因此作者最后得出结论,乞力马扎罗山是否挤满了破坏其宁静气氛的游客呢?这一说法是否名副其实?答案是否定的。deserve one's reputation意为“名不虚传;实至名归”。

【导语】Ehlers在打猎时在路边发现了一只走丢的小狗,他试图哄它到自己身边来,未能成功。回家后,Ehlers还是很担心这只小狗。四天后他和朋友又出去找到了这只小狗,并且联系上了它的主人。
41.C 第一段最后一句to coax the dog to him but, frightened, ...提到了小狗,说明在打猎回家的路上,Ehlers想起了他在路边看到过的那只小狗。
42.B 根据第一段最后一句话中的frightened可知,小狗见到打猎的Ehlers时很害怕,由此可推知当时小狗见到猎人受到惊吓而发抖,所以选trembling.
43. A 根据二段Ehlers eventually succeeded in coaxing the animal to him可知,这一次Ehlers试图(tried)把小狗哄到他身边来,但是没有成功。
44.D but表示转折,说明Ehlers没能把小狗哄到他身边来。小狗跑掉了(run off)
45.C 小狗自己跑掉了,不知去向,所以选lost。
46.C 根据第二段第一句Back home可知,Ehlers已经回到了家中。再根据Greg saw, across a field, the dog ... 可推测Ehlers又和他的朋友Greg开车返回到小狗出现过的地方去找它。
47. D 根据下文Greg saw, across a field, the dog moving ...可知,Greg发现了小狗。所以空白处应填search。
48.A 根据第二段倒数第二句中的Nervousness和fear可知,小狗刚开始感到紧张和害怕,所以它应该是很谨慎小心地离开了。
49.B 空白处下一句It just started licking Ehlers' face (小狗开始舔Ehlers的脸)说明小狗见到Ehlers很高兴,之前的紧张和害怕都没有了。
50.B 根据第三段第二句The ad had a...可知选advertised。
51.B 根据下文to tell them he had ...可知,广告上有电话号码,Ehlers才能告诉Jeff和Lisa关于狗的消息。
52.A 根据下文to tell them he had ...可知, Ehlers给Jeff and Lisa了电话。
53.C 根据第二段的内容可知,Ehlers和他的朋友Greg找到了小狗,所以选found.
54. A 根据下文but the gun shots had scared the dog off 中的gun shots可知,Jeff在感恩节前带着他的小狗Rosie一起打猎。
55.D 小狗Rosie是Ehlers和他的朋友Greg找到的。小狗的主人Jeff曾经找过它,但是没有找到,所以选in vain(白费力气)
56.A 根据文章第二段第一句话Ehlers was troubled by...以及四天后他又和朋友Greg一起去寻找那只小狗,说明Ehlers非常担心这只小狗。
57.B Ehlers已经回到了家里,但是还是很担心小狗,决定和朋友一起出去寻找小狗,经过长时间的仔细寻找,终于找到了那只小狗。trouble意为“麻烦;额外的努力”符合语境。
58.C Ehlers第一次见到小狗时,想哄它到自己身边来,没有成功。过了几天,又专门和朋友返回去寻找,终于找到了它,整个过程很费心,所以选effort。
59.D 根据Iam tomy dogs可知选close。狗和主人的关系都是很亲密的,因此Ehlers认为不管是谁丢失了小狗Rosie,他们可能都与小狗Rosie的关系很亲密,就像他和自己的狗一样。
60.D Ehlers发自内心地关心走丢了的小狗Rosie,并且花了一番功夫终于找到了它。因此Ehlers希望如果有一天他的狗走丢了,他也希望有人能像他那样心甘情愿地、不怕麻烦地去寻找他的狗。
