1.答案:B 實際上,他對我非常順從,尤其是當我照顧我們收容所里其他毛茸茸的動物朋友們時。especially“尤其,特別”,符合語境,specially意為“專門地”。
2.2】答案:B 根據第二段最后一句話中的“during this hot summer”可知,森林大火時常在夏季發(fā)生。
3.3】答案:A 每年,不少森林都被大火嚴重毀壞。damage“損害,毀壞,破壞”,符合語境。
4.4】答案:D 根據語境可知,此時已沒有任何希望等Luke回到收容所了。
5.5】答案:C 根據下句中的“a fireman burst into my office”可知,事實上我在等消防員帶來的消息。In fact“事實上;實際上”。
6.6】答案:B 我是在等著消防隊員告訴我Luke在森林中死去的消息。
7.7】答案:C 一名消防隊員闖入我的辦公室告訴我說,我的Luke成功地解救了四只被困在火中的小貓。
8.8】答案:D 在此指四只小貓“被困在”火海中。trap“使陷入困境”,符合語境。

10.0】答案:A 我立刻陪著這名消防隊員趕往森林,去接那幾只被救的小貓。
11.1】答案:D 一到事故現(xiàn)場,并沒有看見Luke的身影。scene“地點,現(xiàn)場”。

13.3】答案:C 消防隊員們跟隨Luke的蹤跡尋找,直到發(fā)現(xiàn)他正在一個消防隊員旁邊大叫。

17.7】答案:C Luke既對那些像它一樣的動物懷有同情之心,也對一個與同事一起努力撲滅大火的人伸出了援助之手。
18.8】答案:A 那是一個多么令人難以忘懷的場面呀!
19.9】答案:A 由小狗救命的事跡來看,消防隊員一定是緊緊地把Luke抱在胸前。tightly“緊緊地,牢固地”。
20.20】答案:D 本句后半句是對前半句“我們應該愛它們,并保護它們”的解釋,故后半句意為“小動物也能為人類做出了不起的大事”。
