(本栏目内容，在学生用书中以独立形式分册装订！) Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Some of the most painful moments I spend as a vet (兽医) are those spent with my customers assisting my animal patients from this world to the next.Making this final decision is not easy，and I have often felt powerless to comfort the sorrowful owners.
That was before I met Shane.
I had been called to examine a ten-year-old dog named Belker who had developed a serious health problem.The dog’s owners—Ron，his wife，Lisa，and their little boy，Shane—were hoping for a miracle (奇迹)．But I told the family there were no miracles left for Belker，and offered to perform the euthanasia (安乐死) for the old dog in their home.As we made the arrangements，Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for the four-year-old Shane to observe the euthanasia.They felt Shane could learn something from the experience.
The next day，I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker’s family surrounded him.Shane seemed so calm，patting the old dog for the last time，that I wondered if he understood what was going on.
A few minutes later，Belker slipped peacefully away.The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s death without any difficulty or confusion.We sat together for a little while after Be lker’s death，wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
Shane，who had been listening quietly，piped up：“I know why.”
Shocked，we all turned to him.What came out of his mouth next astonished me.I’d never heard a more comforting explanation.
He said，“Everybody can learn how to live a good life，like loving everybody and being nice，right？” The four-year-old continued，“Well，animals already know how to do that，so they don’t have to stay so long.”
语篇解读作者对名叫Belker的狗进行了安乐死。

此时，作者和狗的主人都很悲痛。

然而一个四岁的孩子对生命的独特见解让作者感到吃惊并深感安慰。

1．Shane’s parents wanted Shane to witness the euthanasia mainly because________.
A．they knew he hated to part with Belker
B．they hoped he could gain something from it
C．they wanted him to remember Belker forever
D．they intended him to learn to carry out euthanasia
解析：考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“As we made the arrangements，Ron...the euthanasia.They felt Shane could learn something from the experience”可知，Shane的父母让他目睹对狗执行安乐死的过程是因为他们觉得Shane会从这次经历中有所收获，故选B。

答案： B
2．What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A．Belker got sick mainly because of lack of care.
B．Shane didn’t feel sad about Belker’s death.
C．There was no hope for Belker to recover but to suffer.
D．Belker didn’t want to live any longer because of the pain.
解析：考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“But I told the family there were no miracles left for Belker，and offered to perform the euthanasia (安乐死) for the old dog in their home”可知，Belker已经没有康复的希望，只剩下痛苦，故选C。

答案： C
3．We can infer from the underlined sentence that________.
A．the vet would rather not perform the euthanasia
B．the vet was familiar with the feelings of Belker’s owners
C．words failed the vet when he tried to comfort Belker’s owners
D．the vet’s throat was uncomfortable with Belker’s owners around
解析：考查推理判断。

根据第一段中的“Making this final decision...felt powerless to comfort the sorrowful owners”可推知，作者也常常觉得自己无力安慰悲伤的动物的主人，即作者不知说什么才能安慰Belker的主人。

答案： C
4．What would the author say about Shane?
A．He knew little about animal lives.
B．He had a unique opinion about lives.
C．He felt unexpecte d about Belker’s death.
D．He was an outgoing and warm-hearted boy.

答案： B

Instagram is containing so many photos of food—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.
I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly，but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK，I’d probably do it too.“The Picture House” is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order，click a photo of the food，share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant Birds Eye，who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction to photograph ing food and sharing the pictures online.They conducted a survey and found that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals.So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.
The pop-up diner was open in Soho，London for three days in May，and is now moving to other major UK cities.They serve two­course meals that customers don’t have to pay for，if they photo and instagram it.
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life” campaign，a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food.“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from every day to the special，”said marketing director Margaret Jobling.
The reaction to “The Picture House” has been great so far.And the pay­by­picture concept has proven to be an effective way.Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of st year，
much time they spent there，not by what they ate.
