Question

【題目】 I took a job as a receptionist for a vet almost five decades ago. As a keen animal lover, I accepted the position on the condition that I wouldn’t have to assist with any wounded animals. I couldn’t bear to see any creature in pain.

At the end of my first week, we were closing the office for the day when a young man ran up to us holding a severely injured Doberman puppy in his arms and begging us to save his life. The four- month-old pup had been hit by a car.

The doctor and I ran back into the operating room. The only place the skin was still attached to this poor little animal’s body was around one shoulder. The vet worked tirelessly for what seemed like hours, stitching him back together again. That was the easy part. The puppy had broken multiple bones, including his spine(脊椎). If he survived the next few days, we were quite sure he would never walk again.

That day forever changed my life. The vet mentored me, and I became his assistant in all things medical. One of my first jobs was to give that Doberman puppy daily physical therapy. I remember moving his tiny legs to try to keep his muscles from withering.

Weeks went by until one day, I felt this little fighter push back ever so slightly. And he continued to push back till he could finally use his legs.

Fas-forward about a year, I walked into the clinic’s crowded waiting room and called the name of the next client. Suddenly, a huge Doberman who had been standing quietly with his owner on the opposite side of the room broke loose and rushed toward me. I found myself pinned against the wall with this magnificent dog standing on his hind legs, his front paws on my shoulders, washing my face with abundant and joyful kisses!

I am still amazed at the display of love and gratitude the dog had for me that day all those years ago. I went on to be a vet tech for 14 years, and since retirement, I’ve volunteered at a no-kill animal shelter.

【1】

細節(jié)理解題。由第一段的第二句“As a keen animal lover, I accepted the position on the condition that I wouldn’t have to assist with any wounded animals.”和最后一句“I couldn’t bear to see any creature in pain.”可知，作為一名對動物的強烈愛好者，在我不必協(xié)助任何受傷動物為條件，我接受了這個職位。我不能忍受看見任何受傷的生物。由此可見，作者一開始不愿意協(xié)助獸醫(yī)處理受傷的動物，是因為她看見受傷的動物會感到難過。結(jié)合選項可知，選項D正確。

【2】

細節(jié)理解題。由第三段最后一句“If he survived the next few days, we were quite sure he would never walk again.”可知，如果它在接下來的幾天生存下來，我們相當確定它不可能再行走了。由此可見，在手術(shù)之后，作者認為這只小狗會失去行走的能力。結(jié)合選項可知，選項B正確。

【3】

推理判斷題。依據(jù)第一段的第二句“As a keen animal lover, I accepted the position on the condition that I wouldn’t have to assist with any wounded animals.”和最后一句“I couldn’t bear to see any creature in pain.”，最后一段的最后一句“I went on to be a vet tech for 14 years, and since retirement, I’ve volunteered at a no-kill animal shelter.”可知，作為一名對動物的強烈愛好者，在我不必協(xié)助任何受傷動物為條件，我接受了這個職位。我不能忍受看見任何受傷的生物。我繼續(xù)從事一名獸醫(yī)將近14年，并且自從退休以來，我一直在一個不殺動物的避難所作志愿者。由此可見，作者是一個熱愛動物的人，作者是一個對動物有同情心的人。結(jié)合選項可知，選項B正確。

【4】

主旨大意題。由全文內(nèi)容可知，第四段的第二句“ The vet mentored me, and I became his assistant in all things medical.”和第三句“One of my first jobs was to give that Doberman puppy daily physical therapy.”表達的是那天永遠地改變了我的生活。獸醫(yī)指導我，并且我成為了他在所有醫(yī)療事情的助理。我的首份工作之一是去給那個杜賓犬提供每天的物理治療。第六段的最后一句“I found myself pinned against the wall with this magnificent dog standing on his hind legs, his front paws on my shoulders, washing my face with abundant and joyful kisses!”表達的是我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己被這個特別華麗的狗壓在墻上，這只狗用它的后退站立，前爪趴在我的肩膀上，一直用豐富而且令人高興的吻清洗著我的臉。最后一段的第一句“I am still amazed at the display of love and gratitude the dog had for me that day all those years ago.”表達的是我仍然對這只狗在數(shù)年前對我表達的愛和感激感到驚訝。由此可見，狗的感激之情是作者在本文中主要表達的內(nèi)容。結(jié)合選項可知，選項A正確。
