Ⅶ.阅读理解
A little girl named Sara had a pet named Roise.And as all little girls,Sara loved her pet.When she got out of school,she would run home as fast as she could,put a leash on Roise and walk her up and down the streets.Then she would invite her friends over and they would dress Roise up in doll clothes and sit her down and have a tea party.Roise was truly loved.
One day Sara found out that Roise was pregnant and she was so excited to have more babies to love and care for.Two neighborhood boys also found out that Roise was pregnant and they decided to steal Roise and make some money by selling her babies.So they did so and put her in a cage in their basement.No longer did Roise go for walks,no more tea parties,and no little girls to dote(溺爱)on her.
The moneymaking business was going really well for the boys and they decided to keep her and all the females pregnant.The basement turned into a room full of caged animals.
About a year later,Sara was walking past this house and she heard a lot of noise coming from the back,so she walked quietly to the back of the house,bent down and looked through the basement window.What she saw shocked her.In this room were animals packed tightly in cages wall to wall.In each cage were animals,crying,screaming,and some too sick to move.They lay there in piles of waste.As she took a deep breath,she noticed the unpleasant smell coming from the closed window of waste,of the dead and of the dying.And as she scanned the room,she noticed the two boys coming in the side door wearing masks.As they walked past some animals on the floor,they kicked them as though they were garbage.
How many of you are thinking that Roise was a dog Well,Roise was a pig.For some animals we call food.This is not a made-up story.This is reality.Billions of food animals are confined,never to see the light of day.We eat some animals,yet to others we call them pets.Roise was both.
1.In Para.1,Sara treated Roise 　　　.
A.like a girl　　　　　　B.to drinking tea
C.as a pet D.with rudeness
提示:细节理解题。第一段主要讲述了Sara是怎样对待Roise的:带出去遛,用玩具娃娃衣服打扮,带着Roise喝茶等。Sara是将Roise作为宠物来对待的。再根据文章第一句话“A little girl named Sara had a pet named Roise.”可知答案为C项。
答案:C
2.Why did the boys steal Roise
A.To keep her in the basement.
B.To play a trick on Sara.
C.To make money by selling her.
D.To earn money by selling her babies.
提示:细节理解题。从第二段第二句话“Two neighborhood boys also found out that Roise was pregnant and they decided to steal Roise and make some money by selling her babies.”可知,答案应为D项。
答案:D
3.How did Sara find the animals caged in the basement
A.Quite by accident.
B.By following the boys.
C.By calling the police.
D.By searching the surrounding basements.
提示:推理判断题。第四段讲述大约一年后Sara发现了被关在地下室的那些动物。根据本段第一句话中的“...Sara was walking past this house and she heard a lot of noise coming from the back...”可知,Sara经过那间地下室时无意听到那些嘈杂声,并最终发现了被关在地下室笼子里的动物们。所以答案应为A项。
答案:A
4.The underlined word “confined” in the last paragraph probably means “　　　”.
A.killed B.limited
C.concerned D.protected
提示:词义猜测题。根据第四段描写的Roise的经历和对本句话的理解可推断出,confined在文中的意思是“被关着,被限制着”。只有B项意思接近。
答案:B
