A dog can keep us company. Sweetie is a big dog who spends every Friday of the month in the Children’s Area of our local library. Earlier today, I was so lucky to be nearby when she was partnering with a boy who was reading a mystery of Magic Tree House. Every time Sweetie listened to the boy reading the most challenging words, she would softly lick（舔）his hand which was holding the book. With his mom in the background, Sweetie and the young boy shared a l0-minute happy partnership, and he was rewarded by Sweetie’s great attention to his every word.

Next Sweetie had an appointment with the twins who took turns reading poetry. With each girl giggling over the funny words, Sweetie was also smiling with her tongue dropping a bit as they each read. After the 10-minute interaction was done, each girl gave Sweetie a gentle hug and were rewarded by Sweetie’s foreleg bow.

In speaking with Sweetie’s owner and transportation “captain”, I learned that Sweetie had been specially trained to work as a service dog. She has retired（退休）after a career of wonderful service, and now she is “in her sunset years” in her service at the library.

Sweetie has a special resting carpet behind the scenes in the Children’s Area, so that she can refresh herself with fresh water and some food when she is tired and hungry. This is Sweetie’s third summer that she has been the “regular” partner. On Fridays from 2 pm~4 pm, Sweetie is ready to listen and act as a devoted partner.

1.What do we know about Sweetie?

A. She is a good listener.　　 B. She likes playing tricks on people.

C. She dislikes children.　　 D. She is stupid.

2.How did the boy feel when Sweetie listened to him reading?

A. Frightened.　　 B. Happy.

C. Astonished.　　 D. Upset.

3.What does the underlined word “giggling” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Crying loudly.　　 B. Keeping silently.

C. Speaking in a rude way.　　 D. Laughing in a silly way.

4.Which of the following can best describe Sweetie?

A. Violent.　　 B. Lazy.

C. Mysterious.　　 D. Friendly.

A big challenge facing children who are seriously ill is keeping up with schoolwork. One mom’s high-tech solution: having kids being treated in hospital attend classes via robots (the robot’s screen displays a live video to feed the child’s need), allowing them to almost join in discussions, go on field trips, and generally feel connected.

After Leslie Morissette lost her son, Graham, to cancer of the blood in 1997, she honored him by founding Grahamtastic Connection, a non-profit organization that provides free electronic equipment for other sick kids. Since its foundation she’s helped over 1,600 kids. “He was really into communication and keeping in touch, always asking the doctors and nurses for their e-mail addresses,” she says.

Though Leslie was an art director for 12 years and ran Grahamtastic Connection on the side, she now puts her mind into her organization full-time. Offering sick children free technology ―whether it’s a robot, an iPad, a laptop, or Internet access ―helps first and best with education.

“When a child is in hospital, parents want to do anything to allow him or her some normalcy (常态),” she says. “We connect kids to their normal world when it’s out of reach.” Some kids who have missed an entire school year can now go by robot and actually pass onto the next grade level without stepping foot inside the building. The equally important thing, though, is the social connection. “It stops the feeling of loneliness not just from the classroom, but from friends and family too,” she adds.

1.What problem do children have to do with when in hospital?

A.They may fall behind in learning. B.They have no friends to play with.

C.They need more money for treatment. D.They have no chance to go on field trips.

2.For what purpose did Leslie Morissette found Grahamtastic Connection?

A.To cure the sick kids. B.In memory of her son.

C.To communicate with doctors. D.In search of the cause of blood disease.

3.What is Leslie Morissette’s job now?

A.She works as an art director. B.She focuses on preschool education.

C.She devotes herself to helping others. D.She helps look after patients in hospital.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A.The story of a strong mom after she lost her son.

B.The report of kids unable to keep up with school.

C.The history of the development of children groups.

D.The introduction of a kind mom and her organization.

In many big cities, a lot of old people keep birds, cats, dogs and other animals in their houses. These animals are friendly to the old people and never leave them. So the old people love them and see them as their good friends or families.

It’s not difficult to keep these lovely animals at home. But you have to take them to animal hospitals to give them needles (注射), so they won’t get ill or they will make people ill. Now there are lots of animal food stores here and there. People can buy good animal food for their animals there. Old people can buy animal food on the phone or on the Internet. But it’s a little more expensive.

Sometimes it’s kind of dirty and dangerous to keep animals. They sometimes look dirty and smell terrible and can be dangerous. For example, an old woman in Shanghai lost her life on the street for her pet dog.

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you can find in any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their houses.

One evening, Brownie's family noticed that Brownie hadn't returned home. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie didn't show up the next day, and although they made their efforts to find him, by the next week he was still missing.

Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie's house alone, barking and jumping. Busy with their own lives, they paid no attention to the nervous little neighbor dog.

Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take ''no'' for an answer. Ted, Brownie's owner, was continuously disturbed by the angry, determined little dog. Spotty followed Ted about, barking all the time, then darting toward a nearby empty lot (an area of land) and back, as if to say, ''Follow me! It's urgent (紧急的)! ''

Eventually, Ted followed Spotty across the empty lot as Spotty stopped to race back and barked encouragingly. The little dog led the man to a deserted spot. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive, one of his legs stuck in a steel trap. Frightened, Ted now wished he had followed Spotty earlier.

Then Ted noticed something. Spotty had done something else besides leading Brownie's human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found some food remains of every meal. Brownie had been fed that week! Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in the hope of keeping his friend alive. Spotty had actually stayed with Brownie to protect him from hunger and other dangers, and keep his spirits up.

Brownie's leg was carefully treated and he soon got well again. For many years thereafter the two families watched the faithful friends running after each other down that well-worn path between their houses.

1.At the very beginning, Ted paid little attention to Spotty because　 _.

A.he was not free at the moment B.he was sure Brownie would be OK

C.he didn't like Spotty D.his missing dog made him sad

2.The underlined word ''darting'' in the third paragraph can be replaced by　　　 .

A.walking B.shouting C.rushing D.looking

3.After Ted was brought where Brownie was trapped, he　　　　 .

A.managed to free his dog at once B.was very thankful to Spotty

C.regretted not following Spotty earlier D.was angry with the trap-maker

4.We can infer from the passage that　　　　 .

A.humans and animals depend on each other for comfort

B.it's not right to hunt animals in any neighborhood

C.Ted has to take better care of his beloved dog later on

D.it was Spotty's timely help that saved Brownie
