Zion National Park
It’s perfect for scenic drives and outdoor adventures. One of the park highlights is the Zion Canyons, which offers different hiking (远足) opportunities.

Most people visit the park between May and September since the weather is warmer.
Canyonlands National Park
Although it’s the 23rd largest National Park in the US, Canyonlands is the largest out of the four national parks in Utah. The best time of the year to visit is when the weather is pleasant in the spring and fall. The park has four main parts: The Maze, Island in the Sky, The Needles, and Horseshoe Canyon. If you plan to visit every part, you can go on a boat tour to explore it.
Arches National Park
Known as a red-rock wonderland, Arches National Park is popular for its stone arches (石拱).The park has over 2,000 stone arches, with Landscape Arch the largest.

The annual marathon in my town occurred as scheduled. My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medical attention. As the athletes began to pace themselves, the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.
I knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon.
The driver and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we’ d slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself expecting her and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I hoped that she wouldn’t.
Finally she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with strong determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet she didn’t give up and crossed the line.
I don’t know this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my life — a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn’t about beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.
4. What does the underlined word “crippled” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Perfect. B. Athletic.
C. Disabled. D. Slim.
5. Which of the following can best describe the woman
A Confident and brave.
B. Proud and determined.
C. Hard-working and responsible.
D. Strong-willed and honorable.
6. What has the author learnt from the woman
A. Don’t depend on others when facing difficulties.
B. Nothing is too hard to accomplish if one is brave enough.
C. Those who have difficulty walking can also run a marathon.
D. It’s not winning but holding on to the end that really matters.
7. What could be the best title for the text
A. The Last Runner
B. An Injured Stranger
C. An Unforgettable Event
D. The Annual Marathon
C
English is full of funny expressions that don’t always make sense. Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it. Here are some English idioms based on animals.
When children jump around and act silly, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”.To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.
Many American families have and love pet dogs. But for some unknown reason, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are “as sick as a dog”, you’re really, really sick.
Sometimes you may also hear cats mentioned in conversations, “I told you to keep that secret, but you have just ‘let the cat out of the bag’!” You probably guessed it — that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.
Dogs and cats don’t always get along, but they appear side by side in a commonly used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it’s “raining cats and dogs”．
Heavy rain often ruins people’s plans for outdoor activities. But on a lovely day, you can have a picnic. If a swarm (一群) of tiny bugs love your food and start to hover (盘旋) around you, it would be really annoying. That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”．
Idioms are very common in both spoken and written English. If you want to have a better understanding of English, you have to learn idioms.
8. According to Paragraph 1, which is right about idioms
A. Expressions which are based on animals.
B. Expressions with rich cultural background.
C. Expressions that always make sense.
D. Expressions which are easy to understand.
9. What can “monkeying around” be used to describe
A. Children jump around and waste time.
B. Children do something useful and serious.
C. Children play with monkeys with their parents.
D. Children spend time playing with their family pets.
10. What can be learned from the text
A. Dogs and cats always get along nicely.
B. Bugs can be used to show your annoyance.
C. Americans believe cats can give away secrets.
D. Americans use the idiom “as sick as a dog” to describe a healthy man.
11. How does the text mainly develop
A. By sharing experiences.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By giving examples.
D. By listing figures.
D
Housing officials say that lately they are noticing something different: students seem to lack the will, and the skill, to deal with ordinary conflicts. “We have students who are mad at each other and they text each other in the same room,” says a teacher. “So many of our conflicts are because kids don’t know how to solve a problem by formal discussion.”
And as any pop psychologist will tell you, bottled emotions lead to silent discontent (不满) that can boil over into frustration and anger. At the University of Florida, emotional conflicts occur about once a week, the university’s director of housing education says, “Over the past five years, roommate conflicts have increased. The students don’t have the person-to-person discussions and they don’t know how to handle them.” The problem is most dramatic among freshmen; housing professionals say they see improvement as students move toward graduation, but some never seem to improve, and they worry about how such students will deal with conflicts after college.
Administrators guess that reliance on cell phones and the Internet may have made it easier for young people to avoid uncomfortable encounters. Why express anger in person when you can vent (发泄) in a text “Things are posted on someone’s wall on Facebook like: Oh, my roommate kept me up all night studying,” says Dana Pysz, an assistant director at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It’s a different way to express their conflict to each other, consequently creating even more conflicts as complaints go public.” In recent focus groups at North Carolina State University, dorm residents said they would not even deal with noisy neighbors on their floor.
Administrators point to parents who have fixed their children’s problems in their entire lives. Now in college, the children lack the skills to attend to even modest conflicts. Some parents continue to interfere (干涉) on campus.
12. What is the main reason for many roommate conflicts
A. Students are not good at reaching an agreement about the problems.
B. Students are not satisfied with each other.
C Housing directors are not responsible for them.
D. Students are not strong-willed.
13. What do we learn from the second paragraph
A. Students, especially freshmen, should bottle up their dissatisfaction.
B. Students in Florida sit down and have a person-to-person talk once a week.
C. Not all students are able to handle conflicts by the time they graduate.
D. The number of conflicts among roommates has decreased in the past five years.
14. What is the attitude of Dana Pysz when he mentions roommates reveal their conflicts in the media
A. Disapproving. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
15. What should parents do according to the passage
A. They should be involved in their children’s life on campus.
B. They should deal with their children’s problems in their whole lives.
C. They should constantly contact the administrators of the college.
D. They should teach their children the skills to tackle the conflicts.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A few years ago when I was looking for a small dog to add to our family, I contacted the local SPCA(Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and got the name of a woman who was fostering(领养，代养) some rescued Maltese dogs for them. I called the woman, and my husband and I drove to her home. As I looked around, I noticed a cute Maltese named Casper. My husband and I decided we would like to adopt him.
The foster mom asked us if there were any way we would open our hearts to Casper’s friend, Kato, as well. She told us that the two boys, who had only each other for comfort, had recently been rescued from a puppy farm, where they had spent the first seven years of their lives. When the local SPCA shut down the puppy farm and seized all the dogs, Kato and Casper had been put in her foster home.
She told us that when she first picked them up, their fur was in such terrible shape that they hardly looked like Maltese dogs. They were brown, whose fur was wet and dirty, and their paws were swollen. For seven years, they were locked in a dark doghouse and the only human contact these boys had was when they were thrown their food.
Hearing all this, I turned and looked down at the little Maltese named Kato. But he’s so ugly, I thought. And he isn’t even friendly. He barked angrily when we looked at him. When I reached for him, he pushed himself against the back wall of his doghouse, whispering. Still, I felt a tig at my heart and agreed to take Kato also. As we drove home, my husband and I worried that maybe we’d taken on too much. We’d never had dogs that had been so abused(虐待) for such a longtime.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

The first day at our home was very difficult for the two dogs.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet she didn’t give up and crossed the line.
I don’t know this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my life — a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn’t about beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.

【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon.(她的腿又瘸又弯，连走路都不可能，更不用说跑马拉松了。)”可知，她的腿又crippled又弯，连走路都不可能。由此可推知，不能走路，说明腿有“残疾”；A. Perfect完美的；B. Athletic运动的；C. Disabled残疾的；D. Slim瘦的。cripple为动词，表示“使残废；使成为跛子”，与disabled为同义表达。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“I knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon.(我知道我们已经在看“最后一名选手”了。她的脚向内翻，但她的左膝却向外翻。她的腿又瘸又弯，连走路都不可能，更不用说跑马拉松了。)”以及第四段“Finally she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with strong determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet she didn’t give up and crossed the line.(最后，她成了眼前唯一一个奔跑的人。我坐在座位边上，满怀敬意和惊讶地看着她坚定地走完最后几英里。当终点线出现在眼前时，欢呼的人群早已回家了。然而她并没有放弃，而是越过了终点线。)”可知，这个女人虽然腿有残疾，甚至赛场上只剩下她一个人，她也没有放弃，而是坚定地走完了最后几英里。由此可知，她是一个意志坚定而又十分可敬的人。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I don’t know this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my life — a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn’t about beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.(我不知道这个女人的名字，但从那天起，她成了我生活的一部分——我经常依赖的一部分。对她来说，这不是打败其他选手或赢得奖品。而是要完成她已经开始要做的事情。当我觉得事情太困难或者我觉得“我就是做不到”的时候，我就会想到最后一个跑步者。然后我意识到摆在我面前的任务是多么简单。)”可知，对于这个女人来说，这不是打败其他选手或赢得奖品，而是要坚持到底，完成已经开始要做的事。作者正是从她身上学到了这种精神。故选D项。
【7题详解】

English is full of funny expressions that don’t always make sense. Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it. Here are some English idioms based on animals.
When children jump around and act silly, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”.To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.
Many American families have and love pet dogs. But for some unknown reason, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are “as sick as a dog”, you’re really, really sick.
Sometimes you may also hear cats mentioned in conversations, “I told you to keep that secret, but you have just ‘let the cat out of the bag’!” You probably guessed it — that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.
Dogs and cats don’t always get along, but they appear side by side in a commonly used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it’s “raining cats and dogs”．
Heavy rain often ruins people’s plans for outdoor activities. But on a lovely day, you can have a picnic. If a swarm (一群) of tiny bugs love your food and start to hover (盘旋) around you, it would be really annoying. That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”．
Idioms are very common in both spoken and written English. If you want to have a better understanding of English, you have to learn idioms.
8. According to Paragraph 1, which is right about idioms
A. Expressions which are based on animals.
B. Expressions with rich cultural background.
C. Expressions that always make sense.
D. Expressions which are easy to understand.
9. What can “monkeying around” be used to describe
A. Children jump around and waste time.
B. Children do something useful and serious.
C. Children play with monkeys with their parents.
D. Children spend time playing with their family pets.
10. What can be learned from the text
A. Dogs and cats always get along nicely.
B. Bugs can be used to show your annoyance.
C. Americans believe cats can give away secrets.
D. Americans use the idiom “as sick as a dog” to describe a healthy man.
11. How does the text mainly develop
A. By sharing experiences.
B. By making comparisons.

D. By listing figures.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. C

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了英语习语的特点并列举了一些与动物相关的习语。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Even if you know the meaning of each word, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it. (即使你知道每个单词的意思，你也可能不理解这个习语，因为你不了解它背后的文化。)”可知，习语有它背后的文化。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When children jump around and act silly, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”.To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time. (当孩子们跳来跳去做傻事时，他们的父母可能会告诉他们不要“胡闹”。“胡闹”的意思是做一些没用或不严肃的事情，或者只是浪费时间。)”可知，“monkeying around”用来描述跳来跳去，浪费时间的孩子。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段最后两句“If a swarm (一群) of tiny bugs love your food and start to hover (盘旋) around you, it would be really annoying. That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”. (如果一群小虫子喜欢你的食物，开始在你周围盘旋，那真的很烦人。这种经历很好地解释了为什么人们经常告诉那些一直打扰他们的人“别烦我了”。)”可知，人们经常对一直打扰他们的人说“stop bugging me”。由此可推知，我们可以用与虫子(bug)有关的习语来表达恼怒。故选B。

D
Housing officials say that lately they are noticing something different: students seem to lack the will, and the skill, to deal with ordinary conflicts. “We have students who are mad at each other and they text each other in the same room,” says a teacher. “So many of our conflicts are because kids don’t know how to solve a problem by formal discussion.”
And as any pop psychologist will tell you, bottled emotions lead to silent discontent (不满) that can boil over into frustration and anger. At the University of Florida, emotional conflicts occur about once a week, the university’s director of housing education says, “Over the past five years, roommate conflicts have increased. The students don’t have the person-to-person discussions and they don’t know how to handle them.” The problem is most dramatic among freshmen; housing professionals say they see improvement as students move toward graduation, but some never seem to improve, and they worry about how such students will deal with conflicts after college.
Administrators guess that reliance on cell phones and the Internet may have made it easier for young people to avoid uncomfortable encounters. Why express anger in person when you can vent (发泄) in a text “Things are posted on someone’s wall on Facebook like: Oh, my roommate kept me up all night studying,” says Dana Pysz, an assistant director at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It’s a different way to express their conflict to each other, consequently creating even more conflicts as complaints go public.” In recent focus groups at North Carolina State University, dorm residents said they would not even deal with noisy neighbors on their floor.
Administrators point to parents who have fixed their children’s problems in their entire lives. Now in college, the children lack the skills to attend to even modest conflicts. Some parents continue to interfere (干涉) on campus.
12. What is the main reason for many roommate conflicts
A. Students are not good at reaching an agreement about the problems.
B. Students are not satisfied with each other.
C. Housing directors are not responsible for them.
D. Students are not strong-willed.
13. What do we learn from the second paragraph
A. Students, especially freshmen, should bottle up their dissatisfaction.
B. Students in Florida sit down and have a person-to-person talk once a week.
C. Not all students are able to handle conflicts by the time they graduate.
D. The number of conflicts among roommates has decreased in the past five years.
14. What is the attitude of Dana Pysz when he mentions roommates reveal their conflicts in the media
A. Disapproving. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
15. What should parents do according to the passage
A. They should be involved in their children’s life on campus.
B. They should deal with their children’s problems in their whole lives.
C. They should constantly contact the administrators of the college.
D. They should teach their children the skills to tackle the conflicts.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要分析了宿舍室友发生冲突的现象日益严重的原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“So many of our conflicts are because kids don’t know how to solve a problem by formal discussion.(我们的很多冲突都是因为孩子们不知道如何通过正式的讨论来解决问题。)”可知，很多冲突发生是因为孩子们不知道如何讨论解决问题，由此可知，很多室友冲突发生的主要原因是学生不善于就问题达成一致。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The problem is most dramatic among freshmen; housing professionals say they see improvement as students move toward graduation, but some never seem to improve, and they worry about how such students will deal with conflicts after college.(这个问题在大一新生中最为突出；住房专业人士说，随着学生临近毕业，他们看到情况有所改善，但有些人似乎从未改善过，他们担心这些学生毕业后将如何处理冲突。)”可知，宿舍室友之间的冲突会随着毕业情况有所改善，但有些人从未改善过，由此可知，并不是所有的学生在毕业时都能处理好矛盾。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的““Things are posted on someone’s wall on Facebook like: Oh, my roommate kept me up all night studying,” says Dana Pysz, an assistant director at the University of California, Los Angeles. “It’s a different way to express their conflict to each other, consequently creating even more conflicts as complaints go public.”(加州大学洛杉矶分校(University of California, Los Angeles)的副主任达纳·皮兹(Dana Pysz)说：“Facebook上有人的留言墙上会贴着这样的内容：哦，我的室友让我整晚都在学习。”“这是一种向彼此表达冲突的不同方式，因此，随着投诉的公开，会产生更多的冲突。”)”可知，Dana Pysz认为将冲突发布到Facebook上会产生更多的冲突，由此可知，Dana Pysz不支持将冲突发布到媒体上。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段“Administrators point to parents who have fixed their children’s problems in their entire lives. Now in college, the children lack the skills to attend to even modest conflicts. Some parents continue to interfere (干涉) on campus.(管理人员指出，有些父母一辈子都在解决孩子的问题。现在在大学里，孩子们缺乏处理即使是适度冲突的技能。一些家长继续干涉校园事务。)”可知，有些父母一辈子在帮着孩子解决孩子的问题，到了大学还继续干涉孩子的校园事务，正式由于家长的过渡干预导致孩子们自己解决冲突的能力缺失，由此可推断，家长应该教给孩子处理冲突的技巧，而不是一味的去干预。故选D项。

Why should we save the sharks
Sharks take up the top position on the food chain in the ocean. As sharks die off, the population of the animals that sharks consume will increase. This, in turn, means that the number of the creatures those animals eat will drop. ____17____ Fish that eat algae (藻类) are also included. This can cause algae to spread so much that it damages coral reefs.
____18____ The ocean not only produces more oxygen than all the rainforests on Earth combined, but also removes half of the man-made greenhouse gas from the atmosphere. Once sharks die off, the global ecosystem will be upset, affecting all creatures including human beings.
Don’t use shark products
First, vitamin energy drinks and leather goods can be made from shark parts. ____19____ In addition, shark meat is sold around the world, sometimes under misleading names such as rock salmon or whitefish. Shark fin soup is a popular dish. However, the process of getting fins is cruel. Fishermen cut the shark’s fins off and then throw the shark back into the water, still alive. ____20____ Sharks breathe by swimming, so a shark that can’t swim will die.
A. It is time for children to learn about sharks.
B. Shark oil is also used in many popular beauty products.
C. Then the shark dies slowly, sometimes over several days.

根据前文“But human beings cause a far greater danger to them than they do to us. Although shark attacks do occur, they are quite rare.

【17题详解】
根据前文“As sharks die off, the population of the animals that sharks consume will increase. This, in turn, means that the number of the creatures those animals eat will drop.(随着鲨鱼的灭绝，鲨鱼食用的动物数量将会增加。反过来，这意味着这些动物吃的生物数量将会下降。)”和后文“Fish that eat algae (藻类) are also included.(以藻类为食的鱼类也包括在内。)”可知，此处是对因此数量下降的生物进行举例，所以选项F“其中有一些是人类每天食用的海鱼。”切合文意。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Once sharks die off, the global ecosystem will be upset, affecting all creatures including human beings.(一旦鲨鱼灭绝，全球生态系统将受到破坏，影响到包括人类在内的所有生物。)”可知，此处是指鲨鱼灭绝会影响全球，所以选项D“事实上，捕杀鲨鱼会影响整个地球。”切合文意。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据前文“First, vitamin energy drinks and leather goods can be made from shark parts.(首先，维生素能量饮料和皮革制品可以用鲨鱼的身体部位制成。)”可知，此处是讲鲨鱼的用途，所以选项B“鲨鱼油也被用于许多流行的美容产品中。”切合文意。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据前文“However, the process of getting fins is cruel. Fishermen cut the shark’s fins off and then throw the shark back into the water, still alive.(然而，获取鱼鳍的过程是残酷的。渔民们割下鲨鱼的鳍，然后把还活着的鲨鱼扔回水中。)”和后文“Sharks breathe by swimming, so a shark that can’t swim will die.(鲨鱼靠游泳呼吸，所以不会游泳的鲨鱼会死。)”可知，此处是指在被获取鱼鳍后鲨鱼会渐渐死去，所以选项C“然后鲨鱼慢慢死去，有时会持续几天。”切合文意。故选C。

考查介词。句意：淄博烧烤的名气过去只局限在山东省。固定搭配be limited to (局限于)，to是介词。故填to。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：为了推广淄博风味烧烤，淄博推出了二十多辆“特色烧烤列车”，在上面当地旅游局官员将亲自为游客服务。此处引导非限定性定语从句，先行词是two dozen “special barbecue trains”，关系词替代先行词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：网友们开玩笑说高铁上挤满了游客，车厢里弥漫着孜然的味道。tourist (游客)是可数名词，前无限定词，应用复数形式表泛指。故填tourists。

We are the Little Environmental Guards
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We are the Little Environmental Guards
Last weekend, our school organized an activity called “We are the Little Environmental Guards” and led all high school freshmen to clean up the garbage in People’s Square.
We went to People’s Square to search for and collect the garbage that was thrown randomly. We also preached to the public about some knowledge and methods related to environmental protection.
Protecting the ecological environment, in fact, is to ensure our own survival. I think this activity is meaningful, because it is a good chance for us to protect the planet we live on.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A few years ago when I was looking for a small dog to add to our family, I contacted the local SPCA(Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and got the name of a woman who was fostering(领养，代养) some rescued Maltese dogs for them. I called the woman, and my husband and I drove to her home. As I looked around, I noticed a cute Maltese named Casper. My husband and I decided we would like to adopt him.
The foster mom asked us if there were any way we would open our hearts to Casper’s friend, Kato, as well. She told us that the two boys, who had only each other for comfort, had recently been rescued from a puppy farm, where they had spent the first seven years of their lives. When the local SPCA shut down the puppy farm and seized all the dogs, Kato and Casper had been put in her foster home.
She told us that when she first picked them up, their fur was in such terrible shape that they hardly looked like Maltese dogs. They were brown, whose fur was wet and dirty, and their paws were swollen. For seven years, they were locked in a dark doghouse and the only human contact these boys had was when they were thrown their food.
Hearing all this, I turned and looked down at the little Maltese named Kato. But he’s so ugly, I thought. And he isn’t even friendly. He barked angrily when we looked at him. When I reached for him, he pushed himself against the back wall of his doghouse, whispering. Still, I felt a tig at my heart and agreed to take Kato also. As we drove home, my husband and I worried that maybe we’d taken on too much. We’d never had dogs that had been so abused(虐待) for such a longtime.

The first day at our home was very difficult for the two dogs.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Though difficult, I did everything I could think of to help these dogs.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The first day at our home was very difficult for the two dogs. Because of such a long period of imprisonment, these two dogs are particularly resistant to humans. Whenever we tried to get close, they always showed their teeth and let out a deep and fierce. We put the dog’s favorite bone in front of them and tried to gently touch their ears. My husband’s hand almost got bitten by them. So they can only be temporarily confined in a cage.
Though difficult, I did everything I could think of to help these dogs. After a few days of getting along, they seemed to be accepting us. The paws were slowly swelling down. In the spacious and clean swimming pool, they became clean and tidy. We prepared two soft and warm dog houses and decided not to keep them in the cage anymore. Looking back at their fearful eyes and swollen claws, their dirty fur told us what kind of abuse they had experienced, which always made me sad. When I held them in my arms, tears couldn’t stop falling. Don’t worry, boys. Every day in the future, the sunshine will embrace you.
