12."We are going to have to get rid of Bay this year,"Meg's dad said."That horse can't work another winter."
It was October,and snow was falling lightly over their part of Montana.Meg knew the ranch needed strong,steady horses to bring the sheep back from pasture.Still,she could hardly take in the enormity of her father's words.
"I know Bay's old,"Meg told her dad,"but he is my horse.Won't you let me keep him?I'd feed him.He won't be a problem."
"We use horses for labor,"her dad said,"We don't keep them as pets."
Meg understood.She thought about Casey,a dog she had once loved.He became lost when he chased a wandering sheep and never came home.Meg had been sad for weeks.She knew that on a ranch,animals come and go.You couldn't grow attached to them.Bay was different,though.The horse had a personality all his own.
She went to the stable and stroked the old brown horse's head.As Bay nuzzled her hand,Meg tried to imagine what the ranch would be like without her favorite horse.
The snow was falling faster,and dark gray clouds were settling over the peaks.Meg had an idea.She saddled Bay,put her foot in the stirrup,and swung up."Let's go!"she cried,and nudged him with heels.
They galloped over the meadow,onto a steep and narrow trail,and up a wooded slope."We'll round up the sheep now,before the snow gets too thick,"Meg said."We will show Dad how well you work.".
The sheep stood in a high pasture,bleating at the storm clouds.Meg heard a lone bleat from above.She looked for the lost sheep but couldn't see it."It must be stuck in the bush above the rock wall,"she thought.
She got off her horse and began to climb up the steep wall.She was almost at the top when the heel of her foot slipped into a crack.She lost her balance and fell onto a rock.She tried to stand,but her foot hurt too much.
Then Bay got into position under the rock.He was telling Meg to crawl onto his back!
Painfully,Meg got her feet into the stirrups.Slowly and carefully,Bay carried her down the snow trail.
On the way down,they met Dad riding his gray horse."What happened?"he asked anxiously.
"Bay saved me."Meg told him what happened.
Dad's voice shook when he said,"I wouldn't get rid of that horse for anything."

70.Meg's dad intended toC.
A.trade Bay for sheep                     B.let Meg keep Bay as a pet.
C.sell or kill Bay                        D.keep Bay working for another winter.
71.Meg hoped to keep Bay becauseB.
A.Bay was a good sheep-keeper.
B.Bay was like a good friend.
C.Bay was strong and beautiful.
D.Bay was the only animal she loved.

A.look for a lost sheep. B.round up the sheep.
C.climb over the meadow. D.meet her father.
73.Why does Dad change his mind about Bay?C
A.Bay found the lost sheep and Meg.
B.Bay was such a good friend to Meg.
C.Bay proved his importance by rescuing Meg.
D.Bay proved that he had a personality all his own.

分析 文章講述的是:在蒙大拿州的一個(gè)農(nóng)場(chǎng),一匹名叫Bay的馬,因?yàn)槔狭,Meg的父親不想要了.Meg舍不得,她想起了自己以前養(yǎng)的一條狗,因?yàn)樽粉櫭月返难蚨й櫫耍疄榱肆粝翨ay,她想要證明Bay是能干的.天開(kāi)始下雪了,于是,她騎著馬去聚攏羊群.在牧場(chǎng)的一個(gè)灌木叢中,作者為了找一只失散的羊,失足從石墻上摔了下來(lái),弄傷了腳.這時(shí),Bay出現(xiàn)了.馱著受傷的她回去.因?yàn)榫攘俗约,Meg的父親改變了想法.文章告訴我們,動(dòng)物是有靈性的,和人一樣,也有豐富的情感.

解答 70.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.第一段說(shuō)We are going to have to get rid of Bay this year.That horse can't work another winter.作者的父親因?yàn)轳R老了,不想要了.故選C.
71.B 推斷判斷題.第四段和第五段說(shuō)Bay was different,though.The horse had a personality all his own.Meg tried to imagine what the ranch would be like without her favorite horse.可知道作者和Bay的感情很深.故選B.
72.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.第七段說(shuō)We'll round up the sheep now,before the snow gets too thick.故選B.
73.C 推斷判斷題.倒數(shù)第二段說(shuō)"Bay saved me."Meg told him what happened.故選C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解題是考試的重點(diǎn)題型.主要考查對(duì)閱讀材料的理解能力,常用的考查題型有:主旨題,細(xì)節(jié)題,推斷題,猜測(cè)題,寫作方法和作者態(tài)度判斷題(近幾年出現(xiàn)的考查題型).解題時(shí),首先要快速瀏覽文章掌握大意;再看題干,帶著題目去讀文章,尋找細(xì)節(jié)和相關(guān)有用信息;最后要根據(jù)題型特點(diǎn),對(duì)答案認(rèn)真分析,仔細(xì)推敲.特別要注意區(qū)分細(xì)節(jié)題和推斷題不可混淆:細(xì)節(jié)題考查文章中的事實(shí);推斷題考查言下之意.這樣就可以快而準(zhǔn)地選出正確答案.
