Arthur sat at the desk in his room，pencil in hand．He had to write a story for his English class by Friday．"I don't know what to write about，"he complained to his dog Toby，who was asleep at his feet．Arthur was talkative when speaking to his friends，yet he had trouble finding words when he had to write．
By bedtime Arthur had drawn a picture of Toby smiling．He had drawn a tree with its branches blowing in the strong wind．He had also written a note asking his friend Lee to go to the movies on Saturday．But he had not written a single word of his story．
On Wednesday，Mrs．Solomon，Arthur's English teacher，asked the class to turn in the first draft of their stories．His heart sinking，Arthur turned in the only work he had-the page with his name，the drawings and the note．
Arthur wasn't surprised when Mrs．Solomon asked him to stay after class the next day．But he was surprised by what she said to him．"This is an attractive story，Arthur．The dog，the movie，the tree in the wind-I can't wait to find out how they all fit together．"
"That isn't my story，Mrs．Solomon，"Arthur admitted．"I haven't been able to think of one yet．"
"Oh，I think you have the seed（种子of a story there，"Mrs．Solomon replied，"Look at your note and the pictures and see if a story comes to you．"
That night Arthur sat at his desk，and this is what he wrote："One Saturday Mike went downstairs to meet his friend Julio at the cinema．It looked as if it might rain，so Mike carried his umbrella．Suddenly a big storm blew in，bending the trees．The noise of the wind sounded like the barking of Mike's dog Toby．Toby really hated storms and barked whenever he wanted to be let inside．Then Mike realized that it wasn't the sound of the wind．It was Toby．The dog was running after him down the busy street，barking．The sound was filled with blame．Mike felt guilty because he had left Toby outside．He turned and headed home with Toby running beside him．Mike let Toby in the door just as the rain started to pour down．"
Arthur had a story in the end．The last thing he did was to write his name proudly at the top of the page．

A．Toby is an imaginative and lovely dog．
B．The small tree will grow into a big one．
C．His friend Lee can give him a lot of support．
D．He can develop his story based on the first draft．
44．What kind of teacher do you think Mrs．Solomon is？B
A．She is a strict teacher                    B．She is a wise teacher

分析 Arthur坐在桌子旁手里拿着铅笔．他不得不在周五前为他的英语课写一个英语故事．他向在他的脚边睡着的他的狗Toby抱怨："我不知道该写什么．"他在跟朋友讲话时很健谈，但在写东西时措辞对他来说很困难．
    睡觉之前，他画了一幅Toby微笑的图片．还画了一棵在狂风中摇曳的树．他还写了一个小纸条让好友Lee在周六去看电影．但是他的故事一个字都没写．
    周三，他的英语老师Mrs．solomon要求全班交他们故事的初稿．他的心跳动的很快，他交了他唯一干完的事情：那幅画和那个纸条．
    第二天英语老师让他下课后留下他一点也不吃惊．但是他十分吃惊老师跟他说的话："这是一个吸引人的故事．狗电影和风中的树，我迫不及待地想要知道他们如何放在一起的．"
"这不是我的故事老师，我还没有想出一个故事．"
"不，我觉得一个故事已经在你心中萌芽了"．老师说，"看看你的纸条和那幅画，想想你是否已经想出了一个故事？"
    那晚，他坐在自己的桌子前，然后写到：一个星期六，Mike下楼到电影院去见他的朋友Julio．天好像要下雨了，所以MIke带了把伞．突然暴风雨来了，刮弯了树木，风声就像是MIke的狗Toby的叫声．Toby真的讨厌暴风雨，每当他想被带进屋里时它就叫．Mike发现这不是风声，是Toby的叫声．这只狗追着他，来到闹市，还不停的叫．声音充满了责怪．Mike感到很内疚，因为他把Toby留在了外边．Mike转身带着Toby回家．就在大雨倾盆时，他让Toby回了家．
    Arthur最终有了一个故事．他做的最后一件事是在纸的顶端骄傲的写上了名字．

解答 42．答案：B 判断推理题根据Arthur was talk ative when speaking to his friends，yet he had trouble finding words when he had to write．可知，Arthur不擅长写作，所以在英语老师让交初稿时，他只能交了画和纸条．故选B．
43．答案：D 判断推理题根据Look at your note and the pictures and see if a story comes to you可知，老师鼓励他看看纸条和图画，能否想出故事．所以此句表达可以从初稿中得出故事．故选D．
44．答案：B 判断推理题根据第四段可知，老师并没有责怪Arthur，而是鼓励他从画中找寻灵感，写出故事．而且Arthur在她的帮助下完成了故事，所以她是个很聪明的老师．故选B．
45．答案：D 判断推理题根据最后一段可知，Arthur最终写出了自己的故事，这离不开老师的鼓励．所以可推测鼓励在教学中很重要．故选D．

点评此题是一篇故事类阅读．讲述了Arthur在老师的鼓励下最终完成自己的故事．所设计题目都与推理判断有关，领会段落大意及写作意图，是做题的关键．
