解析
宠物是人类忠实的朋友，在危急时刻，它们往往发挥了至关重要的作用。在一场森林大火中，一只勇敢的狗奋不顾身，拯救了多条生命。
小题1:答案：B 实际上，他对我非常顺从，尤其是当我照顾我们收容所里其他毛茸茸的动物朋友们时。especially“尤其，特别”，符合语境，specially意为“专门地”。
小题2:答案：B 根据第二段最后一句话中的“during this hot summer”可知，森林大火时常在夏季发生。
小题3:答案：A 每年，不少森林都被大火严重毁坏。damage“损害，毁坏，破坏”，符合语境。
小题4:答案：D 根据语境可知，此时已没有任何希望等Luke回到收容所了。
小题5:答案：C 根据下句中的“a fireman burst into my office”可知，事实上我在等消防员带来的消息。In fact“事实上；实际上”。
小题6:答案：B 我是在等着消防队员告诉我Luke在森林中死去的消息。
小题7:答案：C 一名消防队员闯入我的办公室告诉我说，我的Luke成功地解救了四只被困在火中的小猫。
小题8:答案：D 在此指四只小猫“被困在”火海中。trap“使陷入困境”，符合语境。
小题9:答案：B 那位消防队员说，Luke抓住这些小猫，一只一只地把它们转移到了安全的地方。
小题10:答案：A 我立刻陪着这名消防队员赶往森林，去接那几只被救的小猫。
小题11:答案：D 一到事故现场，并没有看见Luke的身影。scene“地点，现场”。
小题12:答案：A 我认出那是我的Luke的声音。recognize“认出，辨别出”，符合语境。
小题13:答案：C 消防队员们跟随Luke的踪迹寻找，直到发现他正在一个消防队员旁边大叫。
小题14:答案：D 由下文可知，这名消防队员受伤了。
小题15:答案：C 这名消防队员躺在地上，绝望地等待救援。
小题16:答案：B 那天，我为Luke的英勇行为感到自豪。action“所做之事，行为”，符合语境。
小题17:答案：C Luke既对那些像它一样的动物怀有同情之心，也对一个与同事一起努力扑灭大火的人伸出了援助之手。
小题18:答案：A 那是一个多么令人难以忘怀的场面呀！
小题19:答案：A 由小狗救命的事迹来看，消防队员一定是紧紧地把Luke抱在胸前。tightly“紧紧地，牢固地”。
小题20:答案：D 本句后半句是对前半句“我们应该爱它们，并保护它们”的解释，故后半句意为“小动物也能为人类做出了不起的大事”。
疑难词汇解读
1．badly adv.严重地，非常
badly beaten at football在足球赛中遭惨败
want/need sth.badly急需某物
2．desperately adv.绝望地
desperate adj.绝望的
I was so desperate on hearing that.听到这个消息我简直绝望了。
长难句子分析
句意：消防队员跟着Luke的踪迹，直到发现它正在一个消防队员旁边大叫，那名消防队员躺在地上，绝望地等待救援。其中found him barking是find＋宾语＋宾语补足语结构；who was lying on the ground and desperately waiting for rescue为定语从句，修饰前面an injured fireman。 |

On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12yearold boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football.Once they"d rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water.The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head，” Tim recalls(回忆)．“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water.Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point, I considered turning back，” he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella！”
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella.Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.
“Let"s aim for the pier(码头)，” Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim？” he cried.“A little bit，” the boys said.
Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys" faces.
“Are we almost there？” they asked again and again.“Yes，” Tim told them each time.

We chat with our colleagues all the time when we have lunch, gossip in the tearoom, or leave work together. Sharing your personal life brings you closer to your coworkers and builds trust within your team. But revealing too much about yourself to colleagues, managers or human resources staff can cause difficulties and even endanger your work.
It"s important to keep the right balance between getting along with colleagues and maintaining your privacy. “Communication in the office is tricky and complicated. You can neither spread chatter, nor be too silent and shut yourself off from others，” said Yang Yudan, deputy HR director at P&G.
According to her, there are several safe topics to talk about with colleagues during the break, such as the weather or movies. Women like to talk about makeup and clothing, while men are fond of sports and online games. But discussing your private life, such as relationship, habits or health conditions, is a potential minefield.
Liang Kun, 26, had to resign from his job at a trading company in Guangzhou last week after discussing his income with colleagues during a lunch break. “I didn"t realize it was such a serious issue until a senior member of staff went to find the boss, asking why I got a higher salary than her，” said Liang. “Then our HR told me that according to the employee handbook it is forbidden to talk about salary in the office.” HR expert Yang also reminds us that paychecks are your own business. It is unwise to share this information with others, no matter how close you are.
To summarize, Yang advises office workers to be more aware of the image they project when talking to colleagues, “When you share your personal life, it will be recorded on your invisible resume and may slow down your career progressing.”
小题1:The author quoted Yang Yudan in the text to ________.| A．show his admiration for her | | B．make an argument with her | | C．support his own viewpoint | | D．build up his fame |
小题2:What can be inferred from the fact that Liang Kun had to resign his job according to the text?| A．It was unwise for him to share information with others. | | B．He broke the rules made by the company. | | C．He was such an honest person that he told the truth. | | D．He treated his colleagues as family members. |
小题3:What is the author"s purpose in writing the text?| A．To draw people"s attention to their behaviors in public. | | B．To advise office workers to be aware of the image they project. | | C．To make you believe that communication in the office is complicated. | | D．To warn you to be careful of invisible trouble while talking about your privacy to colleagues. |
小题4:Which would be the best title for the text?| A．At Work, Keep It to Yourself | | B．Keep the Right Balance | | C．Share Your Personal Life with Others | | D．Safe Topics to Talk about |
