Question

Goldie’s Secret

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 (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) 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.

Answer 1

【答案】

1.B

2.A

3.D

4.A

【解析】文章按照時(shí)間順序回憶了可愛感人的小狗Goldie。

1.作為第一道題顯然定位到文章第一段(因?yàn)榈诙�段首句作者就給小狗起了一糾結(jié)的小名兒G)，從段末重要信息出處——極端詞得知作者對小狗持正態(tài)度，故ACD直接排除，B選項(xiàng)浮出水面。

2.題干定位詞“first few days”直接鎖定到第二段but 之前，通過重要信息出處——極端詞hardly一句排除C;由“小狗G一開始在我家為負(fù)態(tài)度情緒”而關(guān)注A、B項(xiàng)，由“轉(zhuǎn)折前小狗G為不平靜狀態(tài)”+sadness(hardly一句)可知B選項(xiàng)angry不太符合氣氛，語句中并無提到小狗G憤怒的表現(xiàn)，排除后直接得A為相對正確選項(xiàng)。

3.題干定位詞“ rushed off to a farmhouse”, 知是故事情節(jié)變化的地方，按題目序號(hào)也該在故事后半段，容易找到定位點(diǎn)，第三段重要信息出處——極端詞not any longer，得知小狗G跑向farmhouse且有一段距離，故排除A，BC此處并無提到，直接排除，直接得D選項(xiàng)。

4.技術(shù)難度低，掃完故事不難得出，作者按時(shí)間回憶自己曾經(jīng)無敵可愛感人的小狗Goldie，直接選入A選項(xiàng)。
