【解析】本文為記敘文。養(yǎng)了十幾年的心愛(ài)的寵物狗被藥毒死了。然而，因?yàn)槔^父的隱瞞，作者在一周后才得知這一消息。作者滿(mǎn)懷的悲傷化作了對(duì)繼父的憤懣，是媽媽的一句話(huà)讓作者明白了一個(gè)永生難忘的道理。

1.答案：C　狗肚子里長(zhǎng)了腫瘤，自然是非常疼痛。

2.2】答案：A　有時(shí)候，散步的途中，它總是趴在地上，一步也邁不動(dòng)了。情態(tài)動(dòng)詞would這里表示某種傾向或習(xí)慣性動(dòng)作，意思是“總是……”。

3.3】答案：B　此處指飽受病痛折磨的狗步履艱難。

4.4】答案：D　與其說(shuō)它是寵物，不如說(shuō)它更像是我的姐妹。

5.5】答案：D　這里指狗已經(jīng)死去的事實(shí)(truth)。plan計(jì)劃；accident事故；anecdote逸事，趣聞。

6.6】答案：B　因?yàn)榉N種原因，繼父將狗死去的消息推遲一周之后才告訴我們，故選項(xiàng)中只有B符合語(yǔ)境。wait推遲，延緩；lie說(shuō)謊；reflect反映；hesitate猶豫，不情愿。

7.7】答案：A　因?yàn)槔^父沒(méi)有告知實(shí)情，我以為狗仍然在動(dòng)物醫(yī)院里。

8.8】答案：C　這里指縈繞在我腦海中的各種想法。fact事實(shí)，真相；opinion意見(jiàn)；doubt懷疑，疑惑。

9.9】答案：C　出于對(duì)我的保護(hù)，家人習(xí)慣于對(duì)我隱瞞真相。have a habit of doing sth.有做某事的習(xí)慣。

10.0】答案：D　根據(jù)上文可推斷出，我知道姨媽患癌癥是在姨媽的身體已恢復(fù)之后。

11.1】答案：B　根據(jù)下文可推知，我試圖求助于媽媽?zhuān)l(fā)泄對(duì)繼父的不滿(mǎn)。turn to sb.求助于某人；adjust to 適應(yīng)，調(diào)節(jié)；contribute to 為……做貢獻(xiàn)；relate to 與……有關(guān)，涉及。

12.2】答案：A　第二段第三句中But I was also angry at my stepfather以及下文的I'm so angry with Steve都提示這里應(yīng)該選擇A項(xiàng)。

15.5】答案：C　我從未想過(guò)Steve經(jīng)受著什么。what引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句，且在從句中作賓語(yǔ)，意思是“什么”。

16.6】答案：D　他不得不做出結(jié)束它生命的決定。根據(jù)文章第一句中had to be put down可知，狗是被藥毒死的。put down毒死(衰老或有病的動(dòng)物)；人道毀滅。

17.7】答案：C　根據(jù)第5空后a week after it happened可知選C項(xiàng)。

18.8】答案：A　不僅沒(méi)能意識(shí)到Steve的良苦用心，還生他的氣，我現(xiàn)在覺(jué)得后悔不已。regret后悔；blame指責(zé)；sorrow悲傷；sympathy同情。

Jobs and work do much more than most of us realize to provide happiness and contentment.We're all used to thinking that work provides the material things of life—the goods and services that make our modern civilization possible.But we are much less conscious of the degree to which work provides the more important psychological well?being that can make the difference between a full and an empty life.

Historically，work has been associated with slavery and sin (罪惡)and punishment.And in our own day we are used to bearing traditional complaints.Against this background，it may well come as a surprise to learn that not only psychologists but other behavioral scientists have come to accept the positive contribution of work to the individual's happiness and sense of personal achievement.Work is more than a necessity for most human beings；it is the focus of their lives，the source of their identity and creativity.

Rather than a punishment of a burden，work is the opportunity to realize one's potential.And the opposite is true，too.For large numbers of people，the absence of work is harmful to their health.Retirement often brings many problems surrounding the “What do I do with myself？”question，even though there may be no financial cares.Large numbers of people regularly get headaches and other illnesses on weekends when they don't have their jobs to go to，and must take care of themselves.It has been observed that unemployment，quite apart from financial pressures，brings enormous psychological troubles and that many individuals'conditions become worse rapidly when jobless.

But why？Why should work be such a significant source of human satisfaction？A good share of the answer rests in the kind of pride that is stimulated by the job，by the activity of accomplishing.

1.Which of the following statements can NOT be learned from the passage?

A．People feel happier and more content than they realize when working.

B．Work is likely to provide you with the chance of achieving your potential.

C．Happiness can only be gained through working.

D．A lot of people will suffer physically and psychologically without work.

2.Traditionally，people are used to believing ________.

A．work is related to negative aspects

B．happiness has nothing to do with work

C．identity and creativity depend on work

D．work is not only a necessity for humans but the focus of their lives

3.What would the author probably discuss in the following paragraph?

A．What the proper way to balance work and life is.

B．How work brings people pride in accomplishment.

C．Which is more important：the material things of life or psychological well?being.

D．How people overcome the problems arising from retirement.

4.Which best describes the author's attitude towards work in the passage?

A．Doubtful. B．Concerned.

C．Approving. D．Neutral.
