When Nathan Winograd said that he was leaving his job as a lawyer (律师) to manage an animal shelter (动
物收容所), his father looked at him for a long time. Then he said, “What do dogs and cats need a 1
for ”
He shouldn’t have been so 2 . Winograd has been helping ill or 3 animals since he
was a boy. Walking home after school when he was 16, he found a 4 walking slowly in the street. He
named it Guido, and 14 years later, when Winograd packed up his family to move east, Guido came along with
them.
The move meant giving up a big house, eight weeks’ vacation and an office with a beautiful view, and
5 to an area known for its cold winters. His wife, Jennifer, also an animal lover, was all for it. 6
they, with two children, plus two dogs, Guido and a group of other cats Winograd had saved, drove across the
country.
Now they try their best to let people see the animals. News in local newspapers and on TV and the
Internet carry photos of possible pets. Adoption (收养) centres are 7 seven days a week, including
evenings, so people who work have time to get there. Inside, they put the 8 cats and dogs in the back
and put the older less lovely animals up front. And they were glad to find that this way works.
“And guess 9 ” He says, “People often fall in love with the ones they first see and take them.”
Today Winograd is helping to 10 thousands, even millions of animals. Winograd believes that
every change brings us closer to a better world for animals.

I live in Missouri, near a river called the Jacks Fork. Before I was born, my grandparents decided to help
1 the river clean. So they started a club called Stream Team 711. But I like its another 2 better—
the Jacks Fork River Rats! Our club tries to make sure the water is clean and 3 for fish and people. And
now I’m old enough to help take care of the river, too.
Picking up 4 is like a treasure hunt. My friends and I can always find plastic bags, empty bottles,
cans, paper, and many other things by the river. There used to be 5 rubbish here. One weekend, my
grandparents picked up 6 tons of rubbish. That was as much as an elephant 6 !
The rubbish was bad for the river as well as the animals and plants living there. So the River Rats taught
people who were relaxing by the river to take rubbish with them 7 throwing it into the river. Now there’
s much less rubbish for us to pick up. Maybe we won’t find any rubbish here.
My favourite thing is to 8 waterbugs (水虫)! The bugs like to stay at the river bottom. Some
bugs don’t care 9 dirty the water is, but other bugs can only live here when the water is clean. 10
we can find lots of bugs that need clean water, we will know the river is clean enough for fish and for us.
I enjoy taking care of the Jacks Fork River. We help make sure it’s a clean, safe place for me and my
friends to play.

When Nathan Winograd said that he was leaving his job as a lawyer (律师) to manage an animal shelter (动
物收容所), his father looked at him for a long time. Then he said, “What do dogs and cats need a 1
for ”
He shouldn’t have been so 2 . Winograd has been helping ill or 3 animals since he
was a boy. Walking home after school when he was 16, he found a 4 walking slowly in the street. He
named it Guido, and 14 years later, when Winograd packed up his family to move east, Guido came along with
them.
The move meant giving up a big house, eight weeks’ vacation and an office with a beautiful view, and
5 to an area known for its cold winters. His wife, Jennifer, also an animal lover, was all for it. 6
they, with two children, plus two dogs, Guido and a group of other cats Winograd had saved, drove across the
country.
Now they try their best to let people see the animals. News in local newspapers and on TV and the
Internet carry photos of possible pets. Adoption (收养) centres are 7 seven days a week, including
evenings, so people who work have time to get there. Inside, they put the 8 cats and dogs in the back
and put the older less lovely animals up front. And they were glad to find that this way works.
“And guess 9 ” He says, “People often fall in love with the ones they first see and take them.”
Today Winograd is helping to 10 thousands, even millions of animals. Winograd believes that
every change brings us closer to a better world for animals.

【答案】
1．C 2．D 3．B 4．B 5．D 6．D 7．D 8．C 9．B 10．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了内森·温诺格拉德放弃律师工作，带领全家人管理一家动物收容所，
帮助动物的经历。
1．句意：狗和猫需要律师做什么？
visitor 游客；scientist 科学家；lawyer 律师；doctor 医生。根据“he was leaving his job as a lawyer to manage
an animal shelter”可知，内森之前是一名律师。所以他的辞职令父亲不解，因而父亲发出了“狗和猫需要律
师做什么？”的疑问。故选 C。
2．句意：他不应该这么惊讶。
excited 感到兴奋的；angry 生气的；sad 伤心的；surprised 感到惊讶的。根据“Winograd has been helping ill
or...animals since he was a boy.”可知，内森从小开始帮助弱小的流浪动物，他非常的有爱心，因而推测他辞
去律师工作去经营动物收容所不是一件令人惊讶的事。故选 D。
3．句意：温诺格拉德从小就开始帮助生病或无家可归的动物。
expensive 贵的；homeless 无家可归的；lovely 可爱的；good-looking 好看的。根据“ill”可知，内森从小就帮
助需要帮助的动物，流浪的动物是需要帮助的。故选 B。
4．句意：当他 16 岁放学回家时，他发现一只猫在街上慢慢地走着。
dog 狗；cat 猫；child 孩子；bird 鸟。根据“He named it Guido,”和“Guido and a group of other cats Winograd
had saved,”可知，“Guido”是一只猫的名字，所以内森 16 岁时在街上发现了一只猫。故选 B。
5．句意：搬家意味着放弃一栋大房子、八周的假期和一间风景优美的办公室，搬到一个以冬天寒冷著称
的地方。
leading 主要的；turning 转向；travelling 旅行；moving 移动。根据“The move meant giving up a big house, eight
weeks’ vacation and an office with a beautiful view, ”可知，此处在讲搬家，内森一家放弃现有的福利，搬去
一个寒冷的地方。故选 D。
6．句意：于是，他们带着两个孩子，加上两条狗，圭多和温诺格拉德救过的一群猫，开车穿过这个国家。
But 但是；Because 因为；However 然而；So 所以。根据“His wife, Jennifer, also an animal lover, was all for it.”
可知，内森的妻子珍妮弗也是动物保护者，所以他们一拍即合，准备搬家。此处用“So”表结果，故选 D。
7．句意：收养中心每周七天开放，包括晚上，所以上班的人也有时间去那里。
free 闲的；full 满的；closed 关闭的；open 打开的。根据“including evenings, so people who work have time to
get there.”可知，内森的动物收容每周开七天，让人们下班后也能去收养动物。故选 D。
8．句意：在里面，他们把年幼的猫和狗放在后面，把年长的不那么可爱的动物放在前面。
clever 聪明的；sick 生病的；young 年轻的；lazy 懒的。根据“and put the older less lovely animals up front.”
可知，他们把年纪大的动物放前面，所以推测年幼的动物被放在后面。故选 C。
9．句意：你猜怎么了？
how 如何；what 什么；when 什么时候；where 哪里。根据“People often fall in love with the ones they first see
and take them.”可知这种方法很奏效。问句让猜“发生什么事了”，此处用 what 做 guess 的宾语。故选 B。
10．句意：如今，温诺格拉德正在帮助拯救成千上万甚至数百万只动物。
save 拯救；sell 售卖；meet 遇见；visit 参观。根据上文和“Winograd believes that every change brings us closer
to a better world for animals.”可知，内森·温诺格拉德的这些行为是为了给动物更好的生活，所以他在拯救动
物。故选 A。

I live in Missouri, near a river called the Jacks Fork. Before I was born, my grandparents decided to help
1 the river clean. So they started a club called Stream Team 711. But I like its another 2 better—
the Jacks Fork River Rats! Our club tries to make sure the water is clean and 3 for fish and people. And
now I’m old enough to help take care of the river, too.
Picking up 4 is like a treasure hunt. My friends and I can always find plastic bags, empty bottles,
cans, paper, and many other things by the river. There used to be 5 rubbish here. One weekend, my
grandparents picked up 6 tons of rubbish. That was as much as an elephant 6 !
The rubbish was bad for the river as well as the animals and plants living there. So the River Rats taught
people who were relaxing by the river to take rubbish with them 7 throwing it into the river. Now there’
s much less rubbish for us to pick up. Maybe we won’t find any rubbish here.
My favourite thing is to 8 waterbugs (水虫)! The bugs like to stay at the river bottom. Some
bugs don’t care 9 dirty the water is, but other bugs can only live here when the water is clean. 10
we can find lots of bugs that need clean water, we will know the river is clean enough for fish and for us.
I enjoy taking care of the Jacks Fork River. We help make sure it’s a clean, safe place for me and my
friends to play.

【导语】本文是记叙文，讲述了一个印度小男孩无私帮助别人，最终得到了自己梦寐以求的鼓的故事。
1．句意：“我只想要一面鼓！”男孩说。
drum 鼓；stick 木棍；cake 蛋糕；jug 水壶。根据下文“not enough money for a drum(鼓)”，可知想要个鼓，
故选 A。
2．句意：母亲在市场上卖了一些蔬菜，但还不够买一面鼓的钱。
again 又；always 总是；still 仍然；even 甚至。根据题干“Mother sold somevegetables at the market, but there
was…not enough money for a drum”，可知买鼓的钱还是不够；still 符合语境，故选 C。
3．句意：就在他敲敲打打地走着的时候，他看见他的邻居正试着点燃她的炉子。
her 她的；his 他的，your 你的，my 我的。由下文“The woman”可知是女性，所以点她的炉子，故选 A。
4．句意：那个女人感谢了男孩。
helped 帮助；thanked 感谢，refused 拒绝，warned 警告。根据上文男孩的话“Use my stick to heat your stove”
可知，邻居得感谢他，故选 B。
5．句意：炉子烧热了，她给他烤了一块松软的蛋糕。
dry 干的；wet 湿的；cold 冷的；hot 热的。根据上文“Use my stick to heat your stove”和“ she made him a soft
cake”可知炉子热了，故选 D。
6．句意：这个男孩正要吃蛋糕，这时他听到一个饥饿的婴儿在哭。
thirsty 渴的；shy 害羞的；hungry 饿的；friendly 友好的。根据下文“The baby’s mother had no food”可知婴
儿是饿哭的，故选 C。
7．句意：说着，她递给小男孩一个大金属罐子。
lending 借；feeding 喂；handing 递；making 使/让。根据“Take this as thanks,”和“...the boy a large metal jug (罐
子).”可知，应该是递给男孩一个金属罐，作为感谢。故选 C。
8．句意：“水！”那人叫道。
Water 水；Rain 雨；Fire 火；Wind 风。根据下文“his jug with water.”可知，此处指水，故选 A。
9．句意：男孩跑到井边，把罐子灌满了水。
picked 捡；filled 装满；threw 扔；caught 抓。根据上文男人想喝水，可知是用水装满了罐子，故选 B。
10．句意：我是一个商人，但是盗贼偷走了我的货物。
gave 给；stole 偷窃，盗窃；showed 表现；carried 携带。根据“robbers”可知，应是盗贼偷走了货物。故选 B。

12．句意：他经过一群坐在大树下的人。
laughing 笑；sleeping 睡觉；dancing 跳舞；sitting 坐。由“under a big tree...They looked unhappy.”结合选项可

13．句意：但如果我步行去，我的新娘会笑话我的。
And 和，表并列；But 但是，表转折；Or 或者，表选择；For 为了。根据“I’m going to my wedding, where this

noise 噪声；anger 愤怒；joy 开心；sadness 伤心。根据上文“He handed the boy a beautiful drum”可知，小男
孩有了鼓，当然很高兴，故选 C。
