“The dog had a panic attack, so she was frightened,” Alla told the Siberian Times. She had been brought by her owners, but then they disappeared somewhere .The noise of the train scared(惊吓) her, so she jumped on the compartment door,kicked the handle to open it, and jumped out of the train as it was getting close to the station in Achinsk, a city between Krasnoyarsk and Novosibirsk”. After hearing the news Alla called her former owners to tell them that Maru was all alone and scared. She asked them to help her look for the dog but they refused. “That angered me. They gave the dog away and the load fell off their shoulders,” said Alla.

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Alla Morozova received a call from the dog's owners informing her that they were allergic(过敏的) to animals and could no longer look after their pet.”可知， Alla收到了一份狗的主人打来的电话通知她，他们对动物过敏，不能再照顾他们的宠物Maru。因此Maru 在11个月大时被主人放弃了。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The noise of the train scared her, so she jumped on the compartment door, kicked the handle to open it, and jumped out of the train”可知，火车的声音把她吓坏了，所以她跳到车厢门口，踢开了门把手，跳出了火车。因此Maru跳出火车的原因是它被火车的噪音吓到了。故选A。

【3】词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“She had walked and run for two and a half days. She was lame, and her paws were broken.”可知，Maru走并且跑了两天半。她的腿瘸了，爪子也折断了。由此可推知Maru很累。即划线词意为“疲倦的，疲劳的”。故选D。

【4】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“After hearing the news Alla called her former owners to tell them that Maru was all alone and scared. She asked them to help her look for the dog but they refused.”可知，听到Maru跳下火车的消息后，Alla告诉Maru的前任主人，Maru很孤单很害怕。她要求他们帮助她寻找狗，但他们拒绝了。因此推断出Alla认为Maru的前任主人是无情的。故选A。
