Question

【題目】Whenever there’s a terrible storm, there are many sad stories. Many people lost their houses, their cars and their pets. But sometimes these stories have happy endings, too.

A family in New Jersey, US, had a cat named Vivian. She was very smart. She could even draw with her wet paws(爪子) on the floor. They all loved her very much. When hurricane (颶風) Sandy hit America in October, they moved to a safer place 13km away from home. Unluckily, Vivian was missing (不見了). All the nine family members were worried about her. They put up posters (海報) to find her. They looked for her everywhere they thought she could stay, but they didn’t find it. The family thought Vivian was gone forever.

But six months later, Vivian showed up at their house, according to(根據(jù)) Yahoo News. They considered (認為) her return as a wonder. No one can be sure where Vivian was for all that time.

Many animals are good at finding their way home. People usually say that dogs and cats find their way home through using their sense of smell(嗅覺).

But that doesn’t explain how Vivian found her way back. Hurricane Sandy blew away the normal smell of home. “I wish she could talk,” said her owner.

試題分析：短文大意：美國新澤西有一家人，家里有只貓叫維維安，她非常聰明，甚至能用濕濕的爪子在地上畫畫。十月份颶風桑迪襲擊美國時，維維安失蹤了。全家人到處找她都沒有找到，但六個月后，竟然回來了。許多動物擅長找到回家的路，它們靠嗅覺找到路。但這無法解釋維維安是怎么找到回家的路的，因為颶風把家里正常的味道吹走了。

【1】B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)When hurricane (颶風) Sandy hit America in October可知桑迪是颶風，所以該選B。

【2】A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)But six months later, Vivian showed up at their house, according to(根據(jù)) Yahoo News.可知那只貓失蹤了六個月，所以該選A。

【3】C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)They considered her return as a wonder可知他們認為她的回家是個奇跡，所以該選C。

【4】D詞義猜測題。聯(lián)系下句No one can be sure where Vivian was for all that time可推知wonder的意思是“奇跡”，所以該選D。

【5】B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù) She is very smart. She could even draw with her wet paws on the floor可知.她非常聰明，她甚至能用濕濕的爪子在地上畫畫， 所以該選B。
