　　Years ago while lying in my hammock(吊床) and drinking JD from the bottle, I noticed my dog dragging something under the fence. Upon looking at it carefully, to my disappointment, I realized it was the next door neighbor's 10-year-old daughter's rabbit. For years I had watched her come home from school and head straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard. I knew today would be not different and feared for our dog, I had to think fast.

　　The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it off with the plastic pipe, combed it with the dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower. Upon finishing its grooming(修饰，打扮), I jumped over the fence and replaced it back in its cage hoping its death would be written as“natural causes”.

　　Back to the hammock and JD. Within the hour the neighbor's Benz pulled in as usual and out popped the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage. Only this time did she stop about six feet away and screamed:“D-A-D-D-Y!!!”

　　Her father, panic stricken, stood looking at the cage. Being the good neighbor that I rushed to the fence and asked if there was anything I could do.

Her father less than calmly shouted, “What kind of sick person would dig up a little girl's dead rabbit and put it back in its cage?”

1．What the writer did to the rabbit was just ________.

[　　]

A．for the little girl

B．to make the rabbit die naturally

C．that he loved the rabbit as well

D．because it would be thought that he had nothing to do with the rabbit

2．The little girl was shocked ________.

[　　]

A．at the rabbit's death

B．because of such a clean rabbit

C．that the rabbit was in the cage, dead

D．when she saw her rabbit was still in the cage

3．According to the story, which of the following is not true?

[　　]

A．The girl came home in a car.

B．The dead rabbit was cleaned.

C．The writer pretended not to know the rabbit had died.

D．The father appeared very calm.

4．We can infer from the story that ________.

[　　]

A．the writer was shocked to see her neighbor shocked at the death of the rabbit

B．the writer made a mistake

C．the father and daughter were unhappy to see their rabbit again

D．the father loved his daughter very much

答案：D;D;D;B
解析：

　　1．D

　　导解：注意B项的意思是“为了使它自然死亡”，而不是文章中表达的“使它看起来象是自然死亡”．

　　2．D

　　导解：参照女孩父亲的那句话：是哪个丧心病狂的人将小女孩的死兔子挖出来又放回笼子里．

　　3．D

　　导解：由panic stricken以及shouted两词可知．

　　4．B

　　导解：A，C两项与文章内容不符，从所给材料不能推测出“父亲非常爱女儿”，所以D项不正确．从作者对兔子的处理以及父亲所说的那句话可以推测出“作者犯了一个错误”．

Millions of years ago dinosaurs (恐龙)lived on the earth. In the days of dinosaurs the whole earth was warm and wet. There were green forests and they could find enough to eat.

　　In the United States, boys and girls start school when they are five years old. In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary school. Another name for secondary school is high school.

　　Several years ago, my parents, my wife, my son and I ate at one of those restaurants where the menu is written on a blackboard．After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the check in the middle of the table．That’s when it happened：my father did not reach for the check．

　　Conversation continued．Finally I realized that I should pick up the check!After hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with dollars, it had all changed．I reached for the check, and my view of myself suddenly changed．I was an adult．I was no longer a kid．

　　There have been other milestones．The cops(policemen)of my youth always seemed big, even huge, and of course they were older than I was．Then one day they were suddenly realized that all the football players in the game I was watching were younger than I was．They were just big kids．With that milestone gone was the dream that someday, maybe I, too, could be a football player．Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it．

　　I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the TV set as my father did．Now it’s what I do best．I never thought that I would go to the beach and not swim, yet I spent all of August at the shore and never once went into the ocean．I never thought that I would appreciate opera, but now the combination of voice and orchestra attract me．I never thought that I would prefer to stay home in the evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties．I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I fond myself watching them, and maybe I’ll get a book on the subject．I feel a strong desire for a religious belief that I never thought I’d want, feel close to my ancestors(祖先)long gone, and echo my father in arguments with my son．I still lose…

　　One day I bought a house．One day－what a day!–I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father．I thought then it was a milestone for me．One day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him, too, another milestone．

　　I’m seventeen．I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles．People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars．It was hard work．

　　While working, you wear a plate with your name on it．I once met someone I knew years ago．I remembered his name and said, “Mr．Castle, how are you?” We talked about this and that．As he left, he said, “It was nice talking to you, Brett．” I felt great, he remembered me．Then I looked down at my name plate．Oh no．He didn’t remember me at all, he just read the name plate．I wish I had put “Irving” down on my name plate．If he’d have said, “Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?” I’d have been ready for him．There’s nothing personal here．

　　The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders．One of these was：You couldn’t accept tips．Okay, I’m outside and I put the bags in the car．For a lot of people, the natural reaction is to take a quarter and give it to me．I’d say, “I’m sorry, I can’t．” They’d get angry．When you give someone a tip, you’re sort of being polite．You take a quarter and you put it in their hands and you expect them to say, “Oh, thanks a lot．” When you say, “I’m sorry, I can’t,” they feel a little put down．They say, “No one will know．” And they put it in your pocket．You say, “I really can’t．” It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically to prevent him from tipping you．It was not in agreement with the store’s belief in being friendly．Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good．I just couldn’t understand the strangeness of some people’s ideas．One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away．I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something．

　　I had decided that one year was enough．Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed．I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up．
