【2016高考训练题】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. These two
loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the
grass of the field between their respective houses.
One evening, Brownie’s family noticed that Brownie hadn’t returned home. They went
looking for him with no success and by the next week he was still missing.
Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie’s house alone. Barking, whining (哀叫) and
generally pestering (纠缠) Brownie’s human family. Busy with their own lives, they
just ignored the nervous little neighbor dog.
Continuously,Ted, Brownie’s owner, was disturbed by the angry, determined little
dog. Spotty followed Ted about, barking insistently, then rushing toward a nearby
empty lot and back, as if to say, “Follow me! It’s urgent!”
Eventually, Ted followed Spotty to a deserted spot half a mile from the house. There
Ted found his beloved Brownie alive, one of his hind legs crushed in a steel leghold
trap. Horrified, Ted now wished he’d taken Spotty’s earlier appeals seriously. Then
Ted noticed something quite remarkable.
Spotty had done more than simply led Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend.
In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found an array of dog food and table scraps
which were later identified as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that
week!
Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in the hope of keeping his friend alive
by sacrificing his own comfort. Spotty had evidently stayed with Brownie to protect
him from hunger and other dangers, and keep his spirits up.
Brownie’s leg was treated by a veterinarian (兽医) and he recovered. For many years
thereafter, the two families watched the faithful friends chasing each other down
that well worn path between their houses.
1.Why did Ted pay little attention to Spotty at the very beginning? - 2 - A.Because Ted was tired of listening to Spotty barking.
B.Because Ted only cared about Brownie’s safety.
C.Because Ted was not free at that moment.
D.Because Ted knew where Brownie was.
2.When Ted was led by Spotty to Brownie, he .
A.was curious to find out what had happened
B.highly appreciated Spotty’s help
C.was worried about Brownie’s health
D.regretted not following Spotty earlier
3.Not only did Spotty help Ted find Brownie but also .
A.he went to see his friend and played with him secretly
B.he sent messages to some other persons in his community to save his friend
C.he managed to lead a veterinarian to treat his friend
D.he sent food to his friend, accompanied him and inspired him to cheer up
4.What can we learn from the story?
A.Barking dogs seldom bite.
B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C.Love me, love my dog.
D.Every dog has its day.

Darnay Duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham
sandwich. The landlord looks at him and exclaims, 'But you're a
duck!'
'Your eyes work,' replies the Darnay Duck. - 3 - 'And you talk.' utters the landlord.
'And your ears,' continues Darnay Duck, 'Now can I have my beer and my sandwich please?'
'Certainly,' agrees the landlord, 'sorry about that... it's just we don't get many
ducks in this pub. What are you doing round this way?'
'I'm working on the building site across the road,' explains the duck.
The landlord watches, astonished, as Darnay Duck drinks his beer, eats his sandwich
and leaves.
The duck visits regularly for two weeks. Then one day the circus comes to town. The
owner of the circus comes into the pub and the landlord says to him, 'You're with
the circus, aren't you? I know this duck that would be just brilliant in your circus
- he talks, drinks beer and everything.'
'Sounds incredible,' says the owner, 'get him to give me a call.'
So the next day when Darnay Duck comes into the pub the landlord says, 'Hey Mr Duck,
I believe I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money.'
'Yeah?' questions Darnay, 'Sounds great, where is it?'
'At the circus.' Answers the landlord.
'The circus?' Darnay Duck enquires, rather puzzled.
'That's right,' replies the landlord.
'What, the place with the big tent? Big canvas roof, hole in the middle, loads of
animals?' asks the duck.
'That's right.' smiles the landlord.
Darnay Duck looks confused. 'Why would they want a plasterer(泥水匠)?'
