Question

【題目】 Two close friends were Willie Brown and his little dog Bounce. Willie could never think of taking a walk without Bounce. Cake and play were equally shared between them. Willie taught his dog many tricks, and often said that Bounce could do almost anything in the world but talk.

There came a time, however, when Bounce really told Willie’s father something, though he could not talk.

It was a bright summer afternoon. Willie had walked with Bounce down to the river, which was not more than two blocks from his father’s store. Willie began to throw stones into the water, and Bounce lay on the grass, watching the flies（蒼蠅）and catching any that came too near. There were some logs（圓木） in the river near the bank. Willie jumped upon one of them, to see if he could throw a stone across the river. Just as it left his hand, the log turned, and he fell into the water. He did not know how to swim, and there was no one to hear, though he called as loud as he could for help.

Poor little Bounce gave a great barking of worry. He ran up and down the bank two or three times, barking, looking first at Willie and then around. Then he started to run as fast as he could, up the street to the store.

When he got there the door was shut, but he scratched(撓) against it and barked loudly, until someone came and opened it.

He caught hold of Mr. Brown’s clothes then ran to the door, then back again, catching at him, barking, and jumping. Now, Mr. Brown thought, “Something must be wrong.” Immediately he followed Bounce to the riverside.

Willie was saved in time.

【解析】

Willie和他的小狗Bounce是兩個親密的朋友。一次Willie在河邊扔石子，踩在了一個圓木上。不慎掉到水中，盡管他大聲求救，但是沒人聽到。聰明的Bounce去Willie爸爸的店里求救，成功的救了Willie。

【1】根據(jù)Two close friends were Willie Brown and his little dog Bounce.可知Willie和他的小狗Bounce是兩個親密的朋友。問題是一個反意疑問句，陳述句為肯定句。因此答案為Yes, he was.。

【2】根據(jù)Willie had walked with Bounce down to the river, which was not more than two blocks from his father’s store.可知河邊離Willie父親的商店的距離不到兩個街區(qū)。故答案為It was not more than two blocks (from Willie’s father’s store).。

【3】根據(jù)Willie jumped upon one of them, to see if he could throw a stone across the river.可知Willie跳上圓木，為了看看能不能把石頭扔過河。故答案為To see if he could throw a stone across the river.。

【4】根據(jù)Poor little Bounce gave a great barking of worry.可知當Willie掉到水中后，Bounce非常擔心。故答案為He felt worried/ anxious.。

【5】根據(jù)倒數(shù)三段的內(nèi)容可知Then he started to run as fast as he could, up the street to the store.狗狗來到Willie爸爸的商店，Immediately he followed Bounce to the riverside.然后Willie爸爸跟著狗狗來到河邊，救了Willie。因此是Bounce和Willie爸爸共同救了Willie。故答案為Bounce and Willie’s father./ Bounce and Mr. Brown.。

【6】結(jié)合全文可知由于Bounce聰明的去Willie爸爸商店里求救，Willie才最終得救。因此Bounce很聰明，盡管他不會說話，但是還是用自己的方式救了他的朋友。因此答案符合文意即可，不唯一。故答案為He was/ is clever because he could do almost anything in the world but talk in human language./because he did everything he could to help Willie./

He was/ is faithful because he went wherever Willie was. / because he tried everything to help Willie out of trouble.

He was helpful because he did everything he could to help Willie./ because he tried everything to help Willie out of trouble.。
