Ⅲ.阅读理解
Abandoned by a breeder(饲者) at only eight weeks old because she was deaf，Alice had a tough start in life.But less than a month after being saved，the springer spaniel(斯伯林格斯班尼犬) is learning to recognize sign language commands with her new family and now she has already learned the signs for several basic commands.
Marie Williams,41，and her partner Mark Morgan,43，who are themselves both deaf，adopted the puppy from the animal charity The Blue Cross.The couple and their three sons Liam,16，Lewis,13，and Owen，five，who have normal hearing，are teaching the lovely puppy sign language commands，including instructions for sit，come and roll over.
Marie Williams，from West Mersea，Essex，said, “We were thinking about getting a dog but when we saw Alice was deaf we just couldn’t believe it.”
“She was so beautiful and the fact that she was deaf just made us fall in love with her even more—we knew that she would fit right into our family.”
“When we went to visit her at the centre I had tears in my eyes because she was so cute and we bonded straight away.”The distinctive spaniel，who has one blue eye，was dirty，sick and nervous when she was abandoned by a breeder who decided the deaf puppy would not make him any money.
Staff at The Blue Cross adoption centre in Lewknor，Oxfordshire were worried that prospective(预期的) new owners would be put off by taking on a puppy which would need lots of tender loving care and specialist training.
Julie Stone，manager of The Blue Cross，said, “It was amazing to see how Marie，Mark and their children immediately bonded with Alice and how they knew just how to get her attention.”
“They are a brilliant match and Alice has found the perfect home where I know that she will get the love she deserves.”
The Blue Cross，which depends entirely on public donations，rehomes thousands of dogs，cats，horses，and small animals every year through its network of adoption centers.
36．According to the passage，Marie Williams ________.
A．had her first son at the age of twentyfive
B．had three children including a daughter

37．According to the passage，Marie Williams and Mark Morgan adopted Alice because ________.
A．their children wanted to have a dog as their friend
B．they could get along well with a deaf dog
C．they needed a dog and also had pity on beautiful Alice
D．they wanted to teach her some sign language
38．What is true about The Blue Cross according to the passage?
A．It regularly receives money from the government.
B．All of its income comes from public donations.
C．It earns money mainly by selling all kinds of pets.
D．It is meant to adopt those disabled animals.

课时作业(二十六)
Ⅰ.1.A here和there放在句首时，主语是名词要用全部倒装，主语为代词则不用倒装。
2．A 表示否定含义的副词never放句首用部分倒装。
3．A 本题考查倒装句的用法。句意为：只有在你饮食正确的条件下，你才能保持健康。only用于句首和状语或状语从句连用时，后面使用倒装结构。unless＝if not(除非；如果……不)，用于句首时引导条件状语从句，主句不用倒装，首先排除C项。D项句意为：“如果你饮食正确，你将不能保持健康。”语意逻辑有问题。故A项正确。
4．B 本题考查动词词义辨析。differ 不同，有差别；range(在一定范围内)变化；alter 改变；separate 分开，分离。此句的意思是：得取决于你买的样式，价格在100美元到500美元里变化。根据句意，应选B。
5．B 本题考查动词辨析。前面的leave表示离开大学，那么后面就应该选择“不允许”返回来了。admit 允许；receive收到；turn翻转；move移动。故选B。
6．C 本题考查动词词义辨析。根据题意，“我们推算我们将在下午六点到那儿”可知选C。count数；figure计算；calculate估计，推算；evaluate 评估，评价。
7．D 考查名词辨析。A项意为“报酬，奖金”，B项意为“奖赏，奖金，奖品”，C项意为“成本，价钱，代价”，D项意为“价值，估价，评价”。句意为：鉴于它真正的价值，我想，它很值得付诸实践。
8．A before的本意是“在……之前”，在此句理解为“还没来得及……”。
9．B 考查名词辨析。scene意为“景象，尤指部分景色或某一舞台场面或片断”；view 指从远处或窗户看到的视野范围内的风景；观点，看法；scenery 风景，景色，舞台布景，强调从美的角度看，某个国家或地区的总体外貌；landscape(自然的)风景，景色；风景画，多指内陆的自然风光。
10．A 考查名词词义辨析。句意：地震过后，地方政府所做的第一件事就是为那些无家可归的人们提供食宿。accommodation住处；occupation 占有，居住；equipment 设备；furniture家具。
11．C 考查非谓语动词。句意：南方下了大雨，在几个省区造成严重洪灾。空格后serious flooding是rained heavily的后果，而且句子主语it和cause之间存在主动关系，所以此处要用动词的ing形式作结果状语
12．C 考查固定搭配。commit oneself to doing sth.承诺做某事。
13．B 考查时态和主谓一致。根据as well as并列两个名词作主语时，谓语动词与as well as前面的名词在人称数上一致，排除A项；experiment with意为“进行实验，进行试验”，experiment on意为“在……上试验”，如：He experimented on rats.由此排除D项；根据语境，该空与其主语在逻辑上是主动关系，排除C项。
14．A 否定副词never放于句首，构成倒装句，时间状语应用陈述语序。
15．B next month是时间点，不是时间段，“after＋时间点”可用于将来时，表示某一特定时间之后。此处如果不用介词，则表示“下个月”；用了after，则表示“下个月以后”。until在肯定句中要与延续性动词连用。
Ⅱ.16.A go without表示“没有什么(吃的，喝的)也将就着能行。”
17．C 由前面的“a fit of passion”和后文的“strong emotions”可推知temper应由stormy来修饰，表示“暴躁的脾气”。gentle温柔的；tender温柔的，软弱的；short短的。
18．B “梵·高强烈的情绪不仅影响了他的生活，也影响了他的油画”。affect影响；develop发展；improve提高；reduce减少。
19．A inspire在此处意为“使产生灵感”之意；teach教；follow跟随；move感动，打动。
20．D light up点燃，照亮；show up(＝turn up)出现；cut up切碎。
21．B be filled with充满某物，相当于be full of。
22．C a feeling of warmth一种温暖的感觉。state状况，状态；look脸色，外表；touch触觉。
23．A actually 在此处意为“居然，竟然”；simply仅仅；entirely完全地，彻底地；finally最终地。
24．D mix sth. with sth.表示“把……和……融合起来”；compare对比，作比较；include包括；communicate交流。
25．C 由下文“It is a painting that is warm，beautiful and sad，all at the same time”可知应是“将他所喜爱的温暖的感觉和围绕着他的忧伤结合起来”。
26．A take one step走了一步。
27．A further表示“距离的远近”，也表示“程度的深浅”，此处表示“又加深了一步”。
28．C blues 在此处指“极其忧伤或沮丧的情绪”。
29．B rather than而不是；other than除了……之外；as well as也；in addition另外，而且。
30．D image形象，意象。
31．B unusually不同寻常地，奇异地；seldom很少；accordingly因此；properly正确地 。
32．C view 在此处指“视线”；surroundings和environment指“环境”；sight景色。
33．A 梵·高由于其狂野的性情而在生前不为人所了解(understood)。他只卖了一幅画，也从没找到真爱。notice注意；reward奖赏，报酬；trust信任。
34．A experience体验；recognize承认，认出，认可；accept接受；determine决定。然而，今天站在《向日葵》和《星夜》之前的人们，能够体会到梵·高画出那些深邃的蓝和欢快的黄时曾体验到的喜悦和悲伤。
35．D as正如…… 正如梵·高画那些深邃的蓝和欢快的黄时曾体验到的喜悦和悲伤。
Ⅲ.本文为资讯报道类的说明文。一只被抛弃的斯伯林格斯班尼犬被一对耳聋的夫妇收养，经训练后能看懂手语。
36．A 数字推理题。Marie Williams今年41岁，最大的儿子Liam是16岁，由此推断她生第一个儿子的时候应该是25岁，故选A。
37．C 逻辑推理题。根据“We were thinking about getting a dog”可知他们需要一只狗，再根据“She was so beautiful and the fact that she was deaf just made us fall in love with her even more”可推断她对美丽的Alice的同情之感，由此可判断选C。
38．B 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The Blue Cross，which depends entirely on public donations”可判断选B。
39．D 逻辑推理题。根据第一段“But less than a month after being saved，the little dog is learning to recognize sign language commands with her new family and now she has already learned the signs for several basic commands.”可知，一只聋的宠物狗经过训练也能学会手语而听从指令，由此推断选D。
40．A 逻辑推理题。纵观全文可知，该文为资讯，主要报道聋狗能学手语这一事实，故可判断选A。
