【题目】阅读理解
A ten-year-old boy from Howell, Michigan America is being hailed (赞扬…为) a hero due to his persistence (坚持) that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbor. The chain of events unfolded late in the evening on Sunday, January 26th, 2014 when Danny Dipietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his dad.
That's when the young boy noticed an open garage and a figure that he believed was a dog outside an apartment near his house. Given the extremely cold weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing (不予理会) it like most kids at his age would have, he insisted that his mother, Dawn, go to examine what was going on. Dawn tried to convince (使相信) Danny that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.
Dawn finally gave in and decided to take a walk to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth to Danny's premonition (预感). Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment she noticed a garage that was wide open and a bent figure, waving madly. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog that the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge, one of her neighbors. The 80-year-old had slipped on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.
Dawn rushed home to get her husband for help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St. Onge, while they waited for the ambulance to arrive. Though still in hospital, the elderly woman is recovering well and grateful to Danny for his premonition.
(1)Why didn't Dawn want to have a look at first?
A.Because it was too cold outside.
B.Because she thought Danny lied.
C.Because she didn't think people would leave a dog out on such a cold day.
D.Because she was busy with her work.
(2)When Danny Dipietro's mother found the elderly woman, the elderly woman _______.
A.had lain in the garage for two hours
B.was trapped in her garage with her dog
C.was looking for her dog around the garage
D.was lying on the ice outside the garage dead
(3)Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Danny likes playing hockey with his father.
B.Ms. St. Onge is grateful for Danny's premonition.
C.Danny loves animals especially dogs very much.

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文,寒冷的冬天Danny回家发现异常,然后坚持让母亲去找,结果救了一位80多岁的邻居,她摔倒在冰冷的地上起不来已经2个多小时了。邻居对Danny一家非常感谢。
(1) 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的”Dawn tried to convince (使相信) Danny that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather,“可知Dawn不想出去看是因为她认为没有人会在这么冷的天把狗放在外面,故选C。
(2) 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的”The 80-year-old had slipped on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.“可知A项正确。
(3) 考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的”Though still in hospital, the elderly woman is recovering well and grateful to Danny for his premonition.“可知B正确。故选B.
