8.She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall.No way could I have sent her away.No way,not me anyway.Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before."We're moving house.""No space for her any more with the baby coming.""We never really wanted her,but what could we have done?She was a present."People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal.And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie.If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name.She was so unsettled during those first few days.She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her.There was nothing I could do to make her happy,it seemed.Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's.But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down.Always by my side,whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk.We were a long way from home,when she started barking and getting very restless.Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie.But when I saw her licking the four puppies I started to feel sympathy towards them."We didn't know what had happened to her,"said the woman at the door."I took her for a walk one day,soon after the puppies were born,and she just disappeared.""She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,"added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie,but I've got nugget now,and she looks just like her mother.And I've learnt a good lesson:not to judge people.

分析 本文主要描述了一只流浪狗從走失到最終找到自己家的故事,從一開始出現(xiàn)在我的家門口前,到慢慢的和我培養(yǎng)了較深的感情,最后找到自己回家的路.文章按照時間順序進行敘述,脈絡(luò)清楚,條理簡潔.
解答 65.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段"She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her.There was nothing I could do to make her happy,it seemed.Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's."該句表明作者同情被遺棄的小狗,希望幫助它高興起來. 故選B.
66.A.細節(jié)理解題.要做對此題主要排除C項的干擾,原文第2段"She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her."可知:"hardly ate anything"的表述與"ate little"是不一樣的.前者是幾乎什么都不吃,后者是吃得少,此錯誤選項屬于"改變否定/肯定的程度". 故選A.
67.D 推理判斷題.通過原文第4段的描寫"She must have tried to come back to them and got lost"以及"but I've got nugget now,and she looks just like her mother"可知,他迅速跑開是因為他找到了回家的路,故選D.
68.A.篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題.此篇記敘文按照時間順序發(fā)展,主要描述了這只流浪狗從走失到最終找到自己家的故事過程,故選A.
點評 本篇題目由3個細節(jié)題和一道文章結(jié)構(gòu)題組成,難度都不大.細節(jié)題要求學(xué)生把握文章中的原文,做合理推斷和轉(zhuǎn)述.比如57題,將unsettled理解成worried.文章結(jié)構(gòu)題基本屬于送分題,要求學(xué)生作答,此篇記敘文按照時間順序發(fā)展.
