　　.閱讀理解

　　There has been an outpouring of love for a 23-year-old disabled woman whose dog was killed in front of her while a groomer(美容師)tried to trim(修剪)its claws.

　　Calls and e-mails came from as far away as the Upper Peninsula and Arizona as well as Oakland and Macomb counties，

　　offering Laurie Crouch，

　　who uses a wheelchair because of multiple sclerosis(硬化癥)，

　　everything from dogs to money，

　　such as that from Jason Daly of Roseville who said，

　　Gooch，

　　and then she and a man sat on the dog to trim its nails.Gooch died after one claw was trimmed.

　　Crouch yelled at the groomer to stop when she saw Gooch was struggling to breathe，

　　but she said she was ignored. “If I could have walked，

　　I would have put my hands on her and pulled her off my dog and physically stopped her， but I can’t do that .” Gooch was not a trained service animal， but naturally helped Crouch by picking up things for her.

　　“This case is absolute animal abuse(虐待)， ”Larry Obrecht，

　　division manager of the Oakland County Animal Shelter in Auburn Hills，

　　said.

　　People who read the story contacted Oakland Press to offer help. A message，

　　from Rebecca Amett of Giggles N Wiggles Puppy Rescue in Roseville，

　　said， “We have puppies to donate…and want to help the young woman who lost her service dog.”

　　“When Gooch was with me I was happy ， ”Crouch said， “ I think I can be happy again but no animal can replace Gooch. There’s never going to be another Gooch out there but I think I will find a dog that can bring me joy again.”

　　課時作業(二十四)

　　.1.C　考查冠詞用法。 match在句中意為“匹配之物”，為可數名詞，in color“在顏色方面”，是固定搭配。

　　2．B　考查形容詞辨析。由but 表轉折可知對此持懷疑態度。sceptical懷疑的；concerned 擔心的； optimistic 樂觀的； anxious 焦急的。

　　3．B　come/be close to/near to(doing) sth.表示“差不多，幾乎(做)某事”。句意：因為她聽起來要哭了，我停止了對她的責備。

　　4．A　考查非謂語動詞。前面the bell與indicate 是主動關系，所以用現在分詞作后置定語；后面是現在分詞作狀語。

　　5．C　考查動詞短語辨析。根據題意可知“風平息下來”。turn up出現，把……調大一些；go back 回去；blow out 吹滅燈火，輪胎爆裂；die down逐漸減弱。

　　6.

　　D　考查情態動詞表推測的用法。D項表示對過去肯定的推測。

　　7．D　從but…可看出空格處用否定，且是一般現在時。

　　8.

　　B　考查動詞的時態。上文的語境是過去時間，下文表示過去時間內正在進行的動作。

　　9．D　考查情態動詞。should此處表示驚訝、不理解等語氣，意為“竟然”。

　　10．A　考查交際用語。根據語境可推測“這的確了不起”，故選A。quite something 非同尋常，了不起。

　　. 11. C　作者參加英語寫作競賽，是代表全班參加的，用representative表示“代表”。

　　12. D　由于沒有想到會有這種情況，所以作者吃驚得說不出話來。

　　13. D　fall short of是固定搭配，意思是“低于預料/預期”。

　　14. B　和上面的fall short of組成搭配，表示“不辜負某人的期望”。

　　15. C　既然參加競賽，那就希望能夠在競賽中成為“獲勝者”。C符合語境。

　　16. A　根據常識，學習英語需要“記憶”詞匯、句型結構和語法規則。故選A。

　　17. A　指“語法”規則。

　　18. B　從語境看，作者想表達時間過得快，還沒做好“準備”。

　　19. B　上文提到作者沒準備好，而別的選手看上去準備得很好，所以就“我”“例外”。此處是指不包括“我”在內，所以用except。

　　20. A　既然說其他選手都準備好了，那么他們應該是easy(輕松的)，而不應該是nervous(緊張的)，interested(感興趣的)或unconfident (不自信的)。

　　21. C　根據后面引號內的句子可以判斷，此空格是指這篇作文的話題，主題(topic)。

　　22. A　writer's block是固定短語，意思是“寫作的瓶頸”，作者在寫作時遇到了問題。

　　23. D　根據前面的描述，作者感到緊張，下面的took a deep breath說明作者在“使自己鎮定下來”。

　　24. D　for在這里表示“為”該話題理清思路。

　　25. C　前面沒有范圍限制，而且在這里作定語，所以用other。

　　26. A　因為下文說accelerate my writing，說明the finishing time“接近，臨近”了。

　　27. B　due to 說明原因。由于“我”沒有分配好時間。

　　28. C　此空考查語法知識。空格后面部分是定語從句，從句中缺少定語，所以用whose引導。of which可用作定語，但必須在legs前加the。

　　29. D　分析前后兩句的邏輯關系可以看出，該處表示的是讓步關系。所以選D。

　　30. C　sense指“通過感官意識到”，就是我們通常說的“感覺到”。

　　. 31.C　主旨大意題。綜合文章內容可知，文章主要敘述了人們對這位失去愛犬的殘疾女士的關愛。

　　32．B　細節理解題。從文章第二段…everything from dogs to money，such as that from Jason Daly of Roseville who said，“I would like to buy her a new dog.”和倒數第二段可知B為正確答案。

　　33．C　細節理解題。從文章第三段可知，寵物美容師和另外一個人坐在狗身上最終導致狗窒息而死。

　　34．D　細節理解題。從文章第四段可知，Cooch雖然沒有經過特殊訓練，但能夠為Crouch撿起東西，提供給她一些幫助。

　　. One possible version：

　　Boys and girls，

　　We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of them correctly and wisely. First, some of us are upset about our body shapes and looks. It’s unnecessary and it’s not important at all. We needn’t care about it. It is one’s inner beauty that matters. Second, we sometimes seem to be misunderstood by our teachers, parents and classmates. Facing this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the misunderstanding. Some of us have fewer friends. I think being open-minded and friendly will do you good. Third, we may fall behind others, which makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage ourselves to work efficiently, full of determination. Last, some of us don’t have much pocket money, so they feel unhappy. Isn’t it strange? So long as we have some, that’s enough. And we can learn to spend money!
