试题详情及答案解析

It was Monday, Mrs. Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.
Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently: “Take this to the butcher（卖肉者）, and he’s going to give you your lunch today.”
Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s shop. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and presently did as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately.
At midday, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.
The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had thought of the dog as one of his customers.
However, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”
Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!

试题分析：史密斯夫人的小狗很饿，但是家里已经没有肉了。史密斯夫人只好在一张纸上写上一句话并让小狗把它带给卖肉的人。确认过纸条之后，卖肉的人给了小狗一块肉。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据第二段“Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it:... Then she gave the paper to her dog”可知，Mrs. Smith把一张写着一句话的纸给了她的狗，故选D。
【小题2】细节理解题。根据第二段“Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently”中的“gently”可知，Mrs. Smith对她的小狗很友善，故选C。
【小题3】推理判断题。根据第五段“for he had thought of the dog as one of his customers”和最后一段“he found that there were not any words on it”可知，卖肉的人从第三次开始就没有看纸上的字，而是直接把肉给了小狗，后来，卖肉的人发现小狗送来的是白纸，说明小狗认为只要带一张纸，就能得到一块肉，故选B。
