events unfolded late in the evening on Sunday,January 26th,2014 when Danny DiPietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his dad.Thats when the young boy noticed an open garage and a figure that he believed was a dog outside an apartment near his house.Given the extremely cold weather,the young boy got a feeling that something was wrong.But instead of overlooking it like most kids of his age would have,he insisted that his mother,Dawn,go to examine what was going on.Dawn tried to convince Danny that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather,but he refused to take no for an answer.Dawn finally gave in and decided to take a walk to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth to Dannys premonition(预感).Sure enough,as she got closer to the department she noticed a garage that was wide open and a bent figure,waving madly.Upon getting there,she realized that it was not a dog that the young boy had thought,but Kathleen St.Onge,one of her neighbours.The 80-year-old had slipped on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours,unable to get up.Dawn rushed home to get her husband for help and called 911.The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms.St.Onge,while they waited for the ambulance to arrive.Though still in hospital,the elderly woman is recovering well and grateful to Danny for his premonition.1.For what reason is Danny Dipietro being called a hero?A.His special ability for premonition.B.His wonderful behaviour in a hockey match.C.His persistence in saving his neighbours life.D.His action in helping elderly people in his community.答案：C解析：根据第一段中的“his persistence that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbour”可知,因为Danny的坚持,Ms.St.Onge才获救,因此选C项。2.Why didnt Dawn want to have a look at first?A.Because it was too cold outside.B.Because she thought Danny lied.C.Because she was busy with her work.D.Because she didnt think people would leave a dog outside on such a cold day.答案：D解析：根据第二段中的“Dawn tried to convince Danny that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather”可知Dawn一开始不相信儿子的预感,故选D项。3.When Dawn found the elderly woman,the elderly woman .A.had lain in the garage for two hoursB.was trapped in her garage with her dogC.was looking for her dog around the garageD.was lying on the ice outside the garage dead答案：A解析：根据第三段中的“The 80-year-old had slipped on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours,unable to get up.”可知选A项。4.Which of the following is true?A.Danny likes playing hockey with his father.B.Ms.St.Onge appreciates Dawns premonition.C.Danny loves animals especially dogs very much.D.Ms.St.Onge is alone at home at that time.答案：D解析：A、C项文中未涉及到;B项应该将Dawn改为Danny;故选D项,老人独自在车库里待了两个小时,包括后文对老人施救都没有提到家人。因此可以推断D项正确。四、七选五阅读理解导学号953640055ThingstoDoinaTrafficJamTired of traffic jams?Here are some tips that can help you to calm
