【题目】 As a vet, I have often felt helpless to comfort the sad owners whose pets are very ill and going to die. That was _____ I met Shane.

I had been called to _____ a tenyearold dog named Belker who had cancer(癌症). The dog's owners, Steven and Mary, were very _____. So was their little boy, Shane. I told the family we couldn't do _____ for Belker, and offered the euthanasia(安乐死) for the old dog in their home. As we made the final _____ the parents told me it would be good for the tenyearold Shane to see the euthanasia. They felt Shane could learn something _____ the experience.

The next day, I felt a catch in my throat as Belker's family were around him. Shane seemed so calm, _____ the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on.

A few minutes later, Belker died _____. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's death without any difficulty. We sat together and talked about why animal lives are _____ than human lives. Shane, who was listening quietly, suddenly said, “I know why.” Shocked, we all ______ him and were surprised at what he had said.

“People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody and being nice, right” He continued, “Well, dogs already know ______ to do that, so they don't have to stay as long as human beings.” It was the best way I have ever heard.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中选出最佳选项。
B
For most of us, when we were 12 years old, schoolwork and video games may well be our only memories of those days. If we remember guns being pointed at our heads, we think that we must be remembering video games or movies.
Unluckily, at age 12, that was Malala Yousafzai's real life.
Malala lived a quiet life in Pakistan until 2009, when the Taliban, an Islamic organization of violence(暴力) took control of her village. They forbade girls to go to school as groups. They believe that educating girls is against Islam. But Malala didn't agree. She wrote on the BBC site, "We want all girls to get their schools back."
However, her actions put her in danger. On Oct 9, 2012, when Malala was taking a bus a man from the Taliban holding a gun shot her in the head. Luckily, the shot didn't kill her. She was taken to a hospital in the UK, and she gradually recovered.
The shot didn't kill her courage to carry on, either. She set up the Malala Fund, which helped put 40 girls from her former home province in Pakistan into schools.
Malala has become an international symbol of inspiration and bravery, commented BBC News. Her survival has instilled(渗透) educators with courage and is slowly helping make Pakistani schools safer.
Malala said in her speech, "The terrorists(恐怖分子) thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions. But nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage were born."
On Oct 10, the European Union awarded Malala its top human rights prize. She was considered an icon (符号) of courage for all teenagers who dared to follow their aspirations .
