Question

【題目】 I'd planned to spend my weekend in the sun, planting flowers outdoors. But that was before the pair of crows (烏鴉). Out of nowhere, they had set up their base camp in our garden.

We first discovered the crows on Friday morning. It was early, and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood. I thought they'd go away soon. But, no. They were getting louder and probably made my neighbors angry nearly as much as us with the noise. I felt a little disappointed.

Then, on Sunday afternoon, I looked out of the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi watching something on the ground. I found a small coal-black bird in the grass. Its eyes were milky, and it stayed perfectly still as my dog inched towards it. Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away. I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera.

I never thought that the young would be hanging out on the ground, growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above. The second I saw this little bird I forgave (原諒) the crows.

To be honest, I've never been much of a bird person. I also have a healthy respect for birds.

They're basically living dinosaurs (恐龍).

I wish they'd chosen another garden. There are only so many sunny days in Seattle, and I still can't do any gardening out there. But I'm also thankful that I got to see this little bit of nature. It's pretty amazing.

The experience has also strengthened my wish to create a beautiful garden that attracts lots of bees, butterflies, and yes, birds. They are welcome here.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】C

【4】A

【解析】

本文是作者講述了自己對在后院安家的烏鴉從討厭到憐愛的態(tài)度轉(zhuǎn)變過程，也告訴我們對待小動物也要一視同仁。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第一段中的 I'd planned to spend my weekend in the sun, planting flowers outdoors. But that was before the pair of crows (烏鴉). 我計劃在陽光下度過周末，在戶外澆花，但那是在烏鴉來之前；和第二段中的 They were getting louder and probably made my neighbors angry nearly as much as us with the noise. 它們聲音越來越大，很有可能像激怒我們一樣激怒我的鄰居，可知，這對烏鴉的到來擾亂了作者的生活。故選D。

【2】推理判斷題，根據(jù)第三段中的my dog inched towards it. 我的狗向它移動過去及 Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away. 可知，Quatchi用它的鼻子碰了下小鳥的頭，小鳥這才走開，可知作者看到小烏鴉的處境后將狗關(guān)了起來，主要是害怕狗傷害到小烏鴉。也就是保護(hù)烏鴉。故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第四段中 The second I saw this little bird I forgave (原諒) the crows. 我看到這只小鳥的那一刻，我原諒了烏鴉，可知是看到小鳥時態(tài)度發(fā)生了改變。故選C。

【4】推理判斷題，作者在文中講述了一對在她家后院的烏鴉及新生的小烏鴉的故事，這些烏鴉讓她對鳥的態(tài)度發(fā)生了轉(zhuǎn)變。故作者主要是跟讀者分享自己的經(jīng)歷。故選A。
