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.
小题1:How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?
A．Shocked.B．Sympathetic.C．Annoyed.D．Upset.
小题2:In her first few days at the author’s house, Goldie ______.
A．felt worriedB．was angry C．ate a little D．sat by the fire
小题3:Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she ______.
A．saw her puppiesB．heard familiar barking
C．wanted to leave the authorD．found her way to her old home
小题4: The passage is organized in order of ______.
A．timeB．effectivenessC．importanceD．complexity

答案

小题1:B
小题1:A
小题1:D
小题1:A
解析

小题1:作为第一道题显然定位到文章第一段(因为第二段首句作者就给小狗起了一纠结的小名儿G)，从段末重要信息出处——极端词得知作者对小狗持正态度，故ACD直接排除，B选项浮出水面。
小题2:题干定位词“first few days”直接锁定到第二段but 之前，通过重要信息出处——极端词hardly一句排除C;由“小狗G一开始在我家为负态度情绪”而关注A、B项，由“转折前小狗G为不平静状态”+sadness(hardly一句)可知B选项angry不太符合气氛，语句中并无提到小狗G愤怒的表现，排除后直接得A为相对正确选项。
小题3:题干定位词“ rushed off to a farmhouse”, 知是故事情节变化的地方，按题目序号也该在故事后半段，容易找到定位点，第三段重要信息出处——极端词not any longer，得知小狗G跑向farmhouse且有一段距离，故排除A，BC此处并无提到，直接排除，直接得D选项。
小题4:技术难度低，扫完故事不难得出，作者按时间回忆自己曾经无敌可爱感人的小狗Goldie，直接选入A选项。

Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep   53 on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of  54 , which he would remember as the 55 of his success forever.

I was a newcomer of Miss Burn’s seventh grade. Past“newcomer”experiences had been difficult, so I was
very anxious to fit in.
Lunchtime was a pleasant surprise when the girls all crowded around my table. Their chat was friendly, so
I began to relax. My new classmates filled me in on the school, the teachers and the other kids. it wasn’t long
before the class herd(书呆子)was pointed out to me: Mary Lou. Actually she called herself Mary Louise. A
formal, overmodest young girl with old-fashioned clothes, she wasn’t ugly—not even funny looking. Practical
shoes, long wool skirt and a blouse completed the image of a complete herd. The girls’ whispers got louder and
louder. Mary Lou didn’t notice this. After school, the girls invited me to join them in front of the school.
Arms wrapped around her backpack, Mary Lou came down the school steps. The taunting began—rude,
biting comments and disrespectful words from the girls. I paused, then joined right in. My force began to pick
up as I approached her, mean(卑劣)remarks falling from my lips. I even pulled the belt of her backpack and then
pushed her. The belt broke, Mary Lou fell. Everyone was laughing and patting me. I fit in. But I was not proud.
Something inside me hurt.
Mary Lou got up, gathered her books and—without a tear shed—off, she went. She held her head high as a
small trickle of blood ran down from her injured knee.
I turned to leave with my laughing friends and noticed a man standing beside his car. His skin, dark hair
and handsome features told me this was her father. Respectful of Mary Lou’s proud spirit, he remained still and
watched the lonely girl walk toward him. Only his eyes—shining with both grief and pride—followed. As I
passed, he looked at me in silence with burning tears that spoke to my shame and scolded my heart. He didn’t
speak a word.
No scolding from a teacher or a parent could linger(逗留)as much as that hurt in my heart from the day a
father’s eyes taught me kindness and strength and dignity. I never again joined the cruel herds. I never
again hurt someone for my own gain.

小题4:The writer would never hurt someone for her own gain because she    .
A．was impressed by Mary’s calmness
B．was afraid to be scolded by Mary’s father

Many people know the names Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison. However, most people don’t know the name of the man who invented the television, Philo Farnsworth.
Philo Farnsworth was born in 1906 and grew up on a potato farm. As a boy, he loved to learn about science, and he read a lot of science books. When he was only thirteen years old, he drew a picture of a machine that could send pictures as radio sends sounds. He got the idea from the way the potatoes were planted in the field. The potatoes grew in long lines, side by side. This made a shape in Philo’s mind. This shape helped Philo think of a way to send the TV picture onto a piece of glass. But he was poor, so Philo could not try to make his idea into a machine at that time.
Later, Philo worked at many different jobs. He worked with trees. He worked on broken radios. He worked on trains. He also worked as a street cleaner. At last, two rich men heard about his idea for television, and they gave him the money to make it. On September 7th, 1927, they watched Philo test the machine he built. When Philo turned on the machine, a small line could be seen on the glass. Philo said, “There you have it, electric television.”
Later, a big company, RCA, said they had made the first television. Philo had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to fight them. Finally, he won. Then, World War Two started in 1939. During the war, Philo spent a lot of money helping the US army instead of building up his television company. After the war, other bigger, richer companies started making televisions. In the end, Philo had to sell his company.
小题1:Why does the author mention Bell and Edison at the beginning of the text?
A．To remember both of them.B．To prove their wisdom.
C．To introduce the topic of the text.D．To explain their relationships.
小题2:According to the text, how old was Philo when he finished his invention of TV?
A．27 years old.B．21 years old.C．33 years oldD．39 years old
小题3:Philo Farnsworth got the idea for TV from ______.
A．the radioB．science booksC．potato fieldsD．a machine
小题4: The underlined part “building up” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.
A．startingB．sellingC．putting upD．making bigger
小题5:Which is the correct order of the following events?
a. Two rich men gave Philo money to do experiments.
b. Philo sold his own company.
c. Philo beat RCA in law.
d. Philo fixed broken radios.
e. Philo showed his invention to others.
A．d, a, e, c, bB．e, d, c, b, aC．d, c, e, b, aD．a, c, b, d, e
