He returned with the gray pigeon in the box. He showed the bird to our children and they decided to keep it”可知，他把紙板箱倒空并用紙箱把鴿子帶回來養(yǎng)，所以推斷出Sam用紙板箱做鳥巢。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。全文介紹了Sam如何救助一只鴿子，由此可以推斷出Sam很有愛心。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，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)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。7．閱讀理解 Nine years ago, a few days before Christmas, I was a director at a pany in San Francisco, and I was called into a meeting that was already in progress. That meeting turned out to be my exit interview. I was 64 years old at the time. It wasn39。t pletely unexpected. I signed a pile of papers and left the pany. So, 40 plus years of employment was over. I had a good reputation and background. Retirement was not a choice for me. I wanted to do something. And then an idea came into my mind, born from my concern for our environment. I wanted to build my own business, designing and producing biodegradable(可生物降解的)packaging from waste. This is called clean technology, and it was really meaningful to me. It could help reduce billions of pounds of singleuse plastic packaging wasted each year. Five years later, I39。m delighted and proud to share with you that our ine has doubled every year and we have no debt. Meanwhile, I have a wonderful partner, and we39。ve won more than 20 awards for the work that we39。ve done. And I am doing the most rewarding and meaningful work of my life right now. But what I really long for is to find other firsttime entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家)who are my age. I want to connect with them. So I want to do something about that in a few years. I want us to start talking more about people who don39。t bee entrepreneurs until they are seniors. And then connecting all of them across industries, regions and countries—building a munity.（1）What happened to the author nine years ago?

This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read. In the library, I found my way into the Children39。s Room. I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal panion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
