话题：新闻报道 词数：334 参考用时： 6 分钟
Andi Davise, 49, regularly crossed the trail through the Phoenix Mountains
Preserve with a few other hikers before sunrise. This morning, however, she met
nobody and heard only the sounds of animals.
Some time later, Andi got to the steep slope(陡坡), she climbed up to the
top by using her hands. When she finally reached the top, she noticed a dark
shape several inches from her left foot. She was frightened and then looked
carefully. "It's a dog and it's dead." she said to herself. It took her a few
seconds to realize that the dog's eyes were open. A thin, dirty bull dog was
looking at her.
She greeted in a low and soft voice to show she was friendly. The bull dog
shook when he heard her voice.
Andi inched closer and dropped some water into the dog's mouth. He tried to
stand up but failed. Something was wrong with his left front leg. Andi pulled
out her phone to contact her husband, Jason, but he didn't respond. She knew
that if she didn't carry the dog down the mountain, he would die.
She carefully put her arms under the dog's body. He was so weak that he fell
into her chest.
Andi had great trouble going down the steep, rocky mountainside with the 50-
pound animal in her arms. Even her arms and back started aching, she didn't
3give up. The trip up had taken 30 minutes while going back down took twice
that.
Andi's husband received her messages at last. He and their son, Justin,
jumped into the car and drove to pick up Andi.
Later that morning, an X-ray showed that the bull dog was badly hurt, he was
likely to lose his left leg.
A few days later, the Davises returned to the animal hospital. "The first
thing he did was to give me a kiss, then he went right to my son." Andi said.
They named the dog Elijah and brought him home that day.

【答案详解】 1-5 BCCDA 6-10CABCD
1.B. hundreds of 是一种固定搭配形式。
2.C. 文章开头第一句话就告诉我们“The earth is our home”。 它与这句话应该是
相互对应的。所以现在人类所污染的也是地球。
3.C. 许多年以前，地球上是没有这么多人的。people还是可数名词，因此应该用many
修饰。
4.D. others 和the others 都是代词，应该单独使用。the other 特指两者中的另外
一个 。another则是多者中的另一个。根据文章的意思，当人们用完一块土地和水资源后，就
会迁移到另一个地方去，而地球上有很多地方。所以用another比较合理。
5.A. 下面一段介绍的都是空气污染。并且空气污染已经成为当今世界最严重的污染方
式。
6.C. things 是名词，前面应该用形容词修饰，life和 lives是名词，live是动词。只
有living是形容词。
7.A. 形容词修饰以thing, body, one结尾的不定代词时应该放在这些不定代词之后。
而且被禁止燃烧的应该是不好的东西。
8.B. 根据下句“When you are riding, there is no pollution.”可知骑自行车是
最好的减少空气污染的方法。
9.C. 根据下句“and go to work by car”可知人们还是将自行车放了起来。
10.D.“so+形容词或副词+that” 表示“如此……以致于……”。
