答案：

56.B

情绪推断，较难题。此推断题的难点在于，原文没有直接的形容词表述，要求学生通过

具体的描述总结。原文第2段Shehardlyateanythingandhadsuchanairofsadnessabouther.

TherewasnothingIcoulddotomakeherhappy,itseemed.Heavenknowswhathadhappenedto

heratherpreviousowner®划线句子表明作者同情被遗弃的小狗，希望帮助它高兴起来。

57.A

细节题，较难题。要做对此题主要要排除C项的干扰，原文第2段Shehardlyateanything

andhadsuchanairofsadnessabouther.hardlyateanything的表述与atelittle是不一,样的。前

者是几乎什么都不吃，后者是吃得少，此错误选项属于"改变否定/肯定的程度”。

58.D

原因推断题，简单题，通过原文第4段的描写可得正确答案。

59.A

问文章的行文结构，简单题，此篇记叙文按照时间顺序发展。

答案：

64.C

细节题，难题。难在弄不清谁是S谁是B,耐心读，动笔划，从第一段得出正确答案并

不难：SarafeltBettydidn'tholdupherendoftheconversation

65.B

细节排序题，难题。还是耐心读，动笔划。S代表美国人，B代表英国人(加起来？),

S比B期待谈话间隙时间更短，又在以色列人(Israelis)说话时插不上嘴，故答案选说话嗒嗒

嗒嗒的以色列人。

66.C

变态细节题，较难题。A不符原文，B无中生有，D无中生有，C关键要理解culturally

determined,由文化决定或者受文化影响。

67.A

词义猜测题，较难。难点在于A选项的干扰作用o原文说那位MM的inabilitytospeak

up注意别人认为她没能力，不是说她不愿意。所以D比A好，此处用反义对比方法。
