  Blackie是一条可爱的黑色小狗，每天它会等待主人 Alan放学回家，Alan非常喜欢它。可是有一天，Blackie被人 偷走并被用链子拴了起来。最后，Alan听到它的叫声终于找 到了它。

1. B细节理解题。根据第一段“It would greet Alan with a woa woa and a wagging tail. ” 以及第三段中的“Uncle,have you seen a black dog?”可知，Blackie 是一条黑色的狗。故选B项。

2. D细节理解题。由第四段中的“There was Blackie tied to a chain. ”可知，Blackie被人用链子拴起来，所以它是被人偷走的。因此选D项。

3. C细节理解题。根据第三段“The man replied ,“No. ”But the children could still hear a woa woa coming from the house.”以及最后一'段中 “ The man realized that he could no longer hide the truth from the children.可知，第一次他们去敲门时，这个人对他们说了谎。故C 项正确。

4. A推理判断题。由第四段中的“They held on to twines and pull themselves up the hill. ”可推断，对于他们来说，爬 上这座小山很闲难。A项符合题意。

障碍句分析

  But the children could still hear a woa woa coming from the house.但孩子们仍然可以听到从屋里传来的“ woa woa” 声 。

  现在分词短语coming from the house修饰a woa woa ,相 当于定语从句 which is coming from the house。
