忠犬预警,火场救下主人

Early one Friday morning, Aida Kelly was sleeping at home.Her three-and-a-half-year-old dog Squilliam kept barking (吠叫). Aida tried to make him quiet, but the dog would not stop. He jumped onto her bed again and again. Soon Aida saw heavy smoke in the house. She knew there was a big fire.

Aida took her dog and ran out right away. Firemen came quickly, but the house was badly burned (燃烧). She lost all her things.Luckily, she and her dog stayed safe. Aida says Squilliam is her hero.

1.1.When did the fire happen?

A On Friday morning.

B On Sunday night.

C On Monday afternoon.

D On Wednesday evening.

解析:选A。A 细节理解题。文章第一句明确提到 “Early one Friday morning, Aida Kelly was sleeping at home.”(一个星期五的清晨,Aida Kelly正在家中睡觉),直接说明了火灾发生的时间是星期五早上。B选项“Sunday night”(周日晚上)、C选项“Monday afternoon”(周一下午)和D选项“Wednesday evening”(周三晚上)在文中均无任何对应信息,不选。故选A。

2.2. How old was Squilliam?

A 2 years old.

B 3.5 years old.

C 4 years old.

D 5.5 years old.

解析:选B。B 细节理解题。文章第一段第二句明确指出“Her three-and-a-half-year-old dog Squilliam kept barking.”(她那三岁半的狗Squilliam不停地吠叫),其中“three-and-a-half-year-old”就是3.5 years old的意思。A选项2岁、C选项4岁、D选项5.5岁均与原文信息不符,不选。故选B。

3.3. Why did the dog bark again and again?

A He felt hungry.

B He saw a cat.

C He found the fire.

D He wanted to play.

解析:选C。C 推理判断题。文中并没有直接说明狗为什么反复吠叫,但叙述了狗不停地叫、跳到床上,紧接着Aida就看到了浓烟并意识到发生了大火。据此可以合理推断,狗是因为察觉到火灾的异常情况才不断吠叫来提醒主人,因此C项“He found the fire.”符合文中的因果逻辑。A项的饿了、B项的看见猫、D项的想玩耍在文中均无任何文字依据,属于脱离文本的主观臆测,不能入选。故选C。

4.4. What happened to the house?

A It was cleaned.

B It was moved.

C It was sold.

D It was burned.

解析:选D。D 细节理解题。文章第二段明确提到“Firemen came quickly, but the house was badly burned.”(消防员很快赶到,但房子被严重烧毁了),“badly burned”直接对应D选项“was burned”。A选项“被打扫干净"、B选项“被搬走”、C选项“被卖掉”在文中均未提及,与原文信息相悖,不选。故选 D。

5.5. What does Aida think of her dog?

A He is noisy.

B He is her hero.

C He is lazy.

D He is dangerous.

解析:选B。B观点态度题。题目问的是Aida对她的狗的看法,文章最后一句直接给出了她的态度:“Aida says Squilliam is her hero.”这表明在她心中,这只狗是英雄,因此B项正确。A项的吵闹虽然对应了狗吠叫的行为,但这并不是Aida在事发后对狗的整体评价;C项的懒惰和D项的危险在文中均无依据,且与“hero”所传达的积极情感完全相反,排除。故选B。
