reach for意思为“伸手去够”。此句意思为“每当我想为家人或自己做一瓶花生昔果冻三明治的时候，我所需要做的事情就是伸手去拿一瓶mother-in-law做好的果冻。”A项符合文意。
3. 答案

根据文章理解可知“现在这最后一罐果冻不再仅仅是一罐果冻了”。A项符合文意。
14. 答案
C

Ⅲ. 阅读理解
A quick-thinking doctor saved the life of his pet tortoise(乌龟) after it nearly drowned by giving it mouth-to-mouth breath.
The tortoise Atlas was having a run outdoors which had some water in a container about ten inches long — the same width as his shell. He had just fallen in. The eight-year-old appeared to have drowned in its water bowl at Ben Waterfall’s home in Swimbridge, Devon.
The horrified family doctor, Dr. Waterfall, who had been tending his garden, saw the tortoise half sink in the bowl and picked him up to find it was not breathing. His back feet stuck up out of the water.
He quickly took it out and started giving it mouth-to-mouth breath. He had his mouth over its whole head, mouth, and nose. Then he changed it to sort of breathing into its nostrils(鼻孔). He did six minutes before it slowly started breathing. After that he breathed a sign of relief.
The pet owner took Atlas to a vet’s (宠物医院) to be checked out in case it had any water in its lungs. “The vets’ jaw dropped,” added the doctor, “and there is a mixture of laughter and then kind of saying well done for giving it a go.”
1. We learn from the passage that the doctor ________.
A. is quick at decision-making
B. is an expert at tortoise
C. loves all kinds of pets
D. is good at gardening
2. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “giving it a go”?
A. Keeping a pet.
B. Sending it to the vet’s.
C. Going out.
D. Making a try.
3. Which of the following did Dr. Waterfall do?
A. He took his tortoise out for a run.
B. He was working in his garden when he saw the tortoise fall into the bowl.
C. He took the tortoise out and waited a few minutes for it to recover.
D. He thought it over before giving the tortoise mouth-to-mouth breath.
4. Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text?
A. A Drowning Tortoise
B. The Owner and Its Tortoise
C. Kissing a Tortoise for Its Life
D. Giving Mouth-to-mouth Breath
