【题目】B. Choose the words or expressions to complete the passage.

A couple of days ago, I saw a dog named Cookie. He was dying of cancer (癌). The dog’s owners, Steven and Maggie were very ________, and so was their little boy, Jimmy. I told the family we couldn’t do ________ for Cookie, and I told them that they could give the old dog the euthanasia procedure (安乐死) in their home.

The next day, I felt a catch in my throat as Cookie’s family was around him. Jimmy petted (爱抚) the old dog for the last time. In a few minutes, Cookie died ________. The little boy seemed to accept Cookie’s death. We sat together for a while-after Cookie’s death, talking about why animal lives are shorter than human lives. Jimmy, who as listening quietly said, “I know why.”

“People are born so that they can learn how to ________… like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?” Jimmy said, “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long as human beings.”

So remember, if a dog was the teacher, you would learn things like:

●When loved ones come home, always run to meet them.

●Run, ________, and play daily.

●Let people touch you.

●On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a big tree.

●When you are happy, dance around.

●Never pretend to be something you’re not.

●When someone is having a bad day, the dog ________, sit close by and nuzzle (轻触) him.

●Love people and don’t remember the wrong things they do for you.

【解析】

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述一个叫做“饼干”的狗被施以安乐死后，他的小主人吉米对“人为什么活得久而动物活得不久”这个问题阐述他自己的观点。最后作者设想如果狗是老师，它将教给其他人的东西。

【1】句意：狗的主人史蒂芬和马吉闷闷不乐，他们的小男孩吉米也是。

surprised惊奇的；worried担心的，闷闷不乐的；excited振奋的；pleased高兴的。根据全文可知，他们的小狗得了癌症，马上就要死去了，所以他们一家人是闷闷不乐的。故选B。

【2】句意：我告诉这一家人我们无法为饼干做任何事情了，并且我告诉他们，他们可以在家里给这个年岁大的狗安乐死。

everything每一件事；nothing没有事情；something用于肯定句中译为“一些事情”，用于疑问句中，表示建议并希望得到对方肯定回答，译为“一些事情”；anything用于肯定句中译为“任何事情”，用于疑问句和否定句中译为“一些事情”。本句话为否定句，且译为“无法为他做一些事情了”，故选D。

【3】句意：几分钟后，饼干安静地死去。

quietly安静地；heavily沉重地；strangely奇怪地；hard努力地。根据and I told them that they could give the old dog the euthanasia procedure (安乐死) in their home“并且我告诉他们，他们可以在家里给这个年岁大的狗安乐死”可知，饼干被安乐死，所以它是安静地死去，故选A。

【4】句意：人生来就是为了学习如何过上美好的生活。

correct mistakes纠正错误；work hard努力工作；deal with trouble处理麻烦；like a good life过上美好的生活。根据like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?“比如一直爱着每个人，对每个人都很好”可知，表示“过上美好的生活”，故选D。

【5】句意：日常中跑、跳和玩。

jump跳；shout喊；sleep睡觉；cry哭。根据句意可知，表示在日常生活中跑、跳和玩。jump跳，故选A。

【6】句意：当某个人有糟糕的一天时，狗会很安静并且靠近你来触摸你。

be silent安静；cry loudly大声喊；be angry生气；laugh happily开心地笑。根据句意可知，表示当主人生气时，狗会很安静并且坐在你旁边，故选A。

做完型填空时，首先要通读课文，明白主旨大意，然后再做题。做完型时要记住“瞻前顾后想结果”这一原则，根据上下文以及语境做题，切忌主观臆断。另外，平时还要多多积累词汇。完型填空常考名词、动词、形容词和副词等辨析。做词义辨析题时，首先要确认四个选项的含义，然后分析语境和逻辑关系，确定答案。

例如第3题，首先确定四个选项的含义，A. quietly安静地；B. heavily沉重地；C. strangely奇怪地；D. hard努力地。根据and I told them that they could give the old dog the euthanasia procedure (安乐死) in their home“并且我告诉他们，他们可以在家里给这个年岁大的狗安乐死”可知，饼干被安乐死，所以它是安静地死去，故选A。
