【文章內容簡介】 t a big house in a sunny valley in California which was owned by Judge Miller. He was neither a house dog nor a kennel (狗窩) dog. The whole of Judge Miller39。s land was his. Buck was king—king over all the crawling, flying things of Judge Miller39。s lands, humans included. His father, Elmo, had been the Judge39。s inseparable panion. And when he died, Buck took his father39。s place. He was not so large—he weighed only sixty kilogram—for his mother, Shep, had been a Scottish sheepdog. Hunting and other outdoor activities had hardened his muscle, and swimming had made him healthy. This was Buck in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike brought Men from everywhere to the frozen north. But Buck did not read the newspapers. And he did not know that Manuel one of the gardeners helper, was not a good man. Manuel gambled (賭博) and wasted the little money he had. No one saw him and Buck go off on what Buck thought was a walk. No one saw them arrive at the railway station where Manuel sold Buck to a man who was waiting for him. After two days ho was cried off the train in Seattle into a small, highwalled yard. There a fat man in a red sweater broke open the cage with a small axe (斧頭)，while holding a club (棍棒) in the other hand. When there was a big enough opening, Buck jumped out like a redeyed devil, straight at the fat man. But in midair, just as his teeth were going to close on the man, he received a shock that he had never felt before. It turned him over and onto the ground. He had never been struck by a club in his life, and he did not understand. He was smashed down a dozen times. Buck saw that he stood no chance against the man with the club. He had learned the lesson, and for the rest of his life he never forgot it. It was his introduction into the world of primitive law. In the end a small man called Perrault paid three hundred dollars for him, and he was led away with Curly, a goodnatured Newfoundland dog.（1）What kind of dogs did the goldseekers want? house dogs with yellow hair. longhaired dogs. dogs with yellow hair kennel dogs.（2）Buck was proud of himself for the following reasons, EXCEPT that ______. was king over all living things of Judge Miller39。s lands became the Judge39。s inseparable panion after his father39。s death had a good life with many outdoor activities to get strong and healthy was wanted by goldseekers thanks to his strong muscles and long hair（3）Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

These men wanted dogs that were heavy, with strong muscles for working hard and furry coats to protect them from the cold.”可知，從西雅圖到南加州，每一條長著結實的肌肉和溫暖的長毛的狗都會在劫難逃。這些尋金人需要的是，高大強壯，有強壯的肌肉，能吃苦耐勞且皮毛可以幫助他們抵御寒冷的狗。所以淘金者需要的是強壯的長毛狗。故選B。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Buck was king—king over all the crawling, flying things of Judge Miller39。s lands, humans included.”可知，巴克是國王——統(tǒng)治著Judge Miller領地上所有爬行、飛行的東西，包括人類。所以A選項是巴克自豪的原因；第三段中的“His father, Elmo, had been the Judge39。s inseparable panion. And when he died, Buck took his father39。s place. Hunting and other outdoor activities had hardened his muscle, and swimming had made him healthy.”他的父親艾爾莫一直是Judge Miller形影不離的伙伴。他死后，巴克接替了他父親的位置。打獵和其他戶外活動鍛煉了他的肌肉，游泳使他身體健康。所以B,C兩項是巴克自豪的原因。故D項不是巴克自豪的原因。故選D。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“But in midair, just as his teeth were going to close on the man, he received a shock that he had never felt before, It turned him over and onto the ground. He had never been struck by a club in his life, and he did not understand. He was smashed down a dozen times.”可知，就在它的牙齒要碰到他的皮膚時，那人用棒子給了它一下，這還是有人頭一次用棒子打他，他不知所措。它被打倒在地。它被木棒打了10幾次；以及倒數(shù)第四段中的“Buck saw that he stood no chance against the man with the club.”可知，巴克看到，它再也站不起來對抗他的木棒。所以巴克被打，無力反抗只能屈服于這個胖人。由此判斷出，巴克的叢林法則就是屈服于這個胖人。故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“Buck did not know that there was trouble ahead, Trouble for every dog with strong muscles and warm long hair, from Seattle to southern California.”可知，巴克不知道前面會遇到麻煩，從西雅圖到南加州，每一條長著結實的肌肉和溫暖的長毛的狗都會在劫難逃以及下文對于巴克的具體遭遇可知，短文最佳的標題為“陷入麻煩”。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Stories are shared in many ways. They are described in books and magazines. They are read around the campfire at night. They are randomly distributed from standalone booths. But what else? To revive (復興)literature in the era of fast news and smartphone addiction, Short Edition, a French publisher of shortform literature, has set up more than 30 story dispensers (分發(fā)機)in the USA in the past years to deliver fiction at the push of a button at restaurants, universities and government offices. Francis Ford Coppola, the film director and winemaker, liked the idea so much that he invested in the pany and placed a dispenser at his Cafe Zoetrope in San Francisco. Last month public libraries in some other cities announced they would be setting them up, too. There is one on the campus at Penn State. A few can be found in downtown West Palm Beach, Fla. And Short Edition plans to announce more, including at the Los Angeles International Airport. Everything old is new again, said Andrew Nurkin, the director of the Free Library of Philadelphia, which is one of the libraries that set up the dispensers. We want people to be easily exposed to literature. We want to advance literacy among children and inspire their creativity. Here39。s how a dispenser works: It has three buttons on top indicating choices for stories that can be read in one minute, three minutes or five minutes. When a button is pushed, a short story is printed. The stories are free. They are chosen from a puter category of more than 100,000 original submissions by writers whose works have been evaluated by Short Edition39。s judges, and transmitted over a mobile network. Offerings can be tailored to specific interests, like children39。s fiction or romanc
