My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, and then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around. One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up（咬破）one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes. Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she'd let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we'd be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone. Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us. 21. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family? A. Look at them sadly. B. Keep them company. C. Play games with them. D. Touch them gently. 22. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Brownie ________. A. would eat anything when hungry B. felt scary for her mistake C. loved playing hide-and-seek D. disliked the author's dad 23. Which of the following best describes Brownie? A. Shy. B. Polite. C. Brave. D. Caring. 【全国卷原卷共五道题, 以下为被删掉的两道题】 3. Why does the author say that Brownie was more than just a family pet? A. She was treated as a member of the family. B. She played games with anyone she liked. C. She was loved by everybody she met. D. She went everywhere with the family. 4. Some people got frightened by Brownie when she ________. A. smiled B. barked C. rushed to them D. tried to be funny B（重庆市南开中学2017届高三英语7月月考试卷阅读D） Some people like to listen to the Beatles,while others prefer Gregorian chants. When it comes to music, scientists find that nurture can overpower nature. A study shows musical preferences seem to be mainly shaped by a person’s cultural upbringing and experiences rather than biological factors. “Our results show that there is a profound cultural difference in the way people respond to consonant（和谐的）and dissonant（不和谐的）sounds, and this suggests that other cultures hear the world differently,” says Josh McDermott, a scientist in Cambridge.
