12."We are going to have to get rid of Bay this year,"Meg's dad said."That horse can't work another winter."
It was October,and snow was falling lightly over their part of Montana.Meg knew the ranch needed strong,steady horses to bring the sheep back from pasture.Still,she could hardly take in the enormity of her father's words.
"I know Bay's old,"Meg told her dad,"but he is my horse.Won't you let me keep him?I'd feed him.He won't be a problem."
"We use horses for labor,"her dad said,"We don't keep them as pets."
Meg understood.She thought about Casey,a dog she had once loved.He became lost when he chased a wandering sheep and never came home.Meg had been sad for weeks.She knew that on a ranch,animals come and go.You couldn't grow attached to them.Bay was different,though.The horse had a personality all his own.
She went to the stable and stroked the old brown horse's head.As Bay nuzzled her hand,Meg tried to imagine what the ranch would be like without her favorite horse.
The snow was falling faster,and dark gray clouds were settling over the peaks.Meg had an idea.She saddled Bay,put her foot in the stirrup,and swung up."Let's go!"she cried,and nudged him with heels.
They galloped over the meadow,onto a steep and narrow trail,and up a wooded slope."We'll round up the sheep now,before the snow gets too thick,"Meg said."We will show Dad how well you work.".
The sheep stood in a high pasture,bleating at the storm clouds.Meg heard a lone bleat from above.She looked for the lost sheep but couldn't see it."It must be stuck in the bush above the rock wall,"she thought.
She got off her horse and began to climb up the steep wall.She was almost at the top when the heel of her foot slipped into a crack.She lost her balance and fell onto a rock.She tried to stand,but her foot hurt too much.
Then Bay got into position under the rock.He was telling Meg to crawl onto his back!
Painfully,Meg got her feet into the stirrups.Slowly and carefully,Bay carried her down the snow trail.
On the way down,they met Dad riding his gray horse."What happened?"he asked anxiously.
"Bay saved me."Meg told him what happened.
Dad's voice shook when he said,"I wouldn't get rid of that horse for anything."

70.Meg's dad intended toC.
A.trade Bay for sheep                     B.let Meg keep Bay as a pet.
C.sell or kill Bay                        D.keep Bay working for another winter.
71.Meg hoped to keep Bay becauseB.
A.Bay was a good sheep-keeper.
B.Bay was like a good friend.
C.Bay was strong and beautiful.
D.Bay was the only animal she loved.
72.Meg rode Bay to the pasture toB.
A.look for a lost sheep. B.round up the sheep.
C.climb over the meadow. D.meet her father.
73.Why does Dad change his mind about Bay?C
A.Bay found the lost sheep and Meg.
B.Bay was such a good friend to Meg.
C.Bay proved his importance by rescuing Meg.
D.Bay proved that he had a personality all his own.

分析 文章讲述的是:在蒙大拿州的一个农场,一匹名叫Bay的马,因为老了,Meg的父亲不想要了.Meg舍不得,她想起了自己以前养的一条狗,因为追踪迷路的羊而失踪了.为了留下Bay,她想要证明Bay是能干的.天开始下雪了,于是,她骑着马去聚拢羊群.在牧场的一个灌木丛中,作者为了找一只失散的羊,失足从石墙上摔了下来,弄伤了脚.这时,Bay出现了.驮着受伤的她回去.因为救了自己,Meg的父亲改变了想法.文章告诉我们,动物是有灵性的,和人一样,也有丰富的情感.

解答 70.C 细节理解题.第一段说We are going to have to get rid of Bay this year.That horse can't work another winter.作者的父亲因为马老了,不想要了.故选C.
71.B 推断判断题.第四段和第五段说Bay was different,though.The horse had a personality all his own.Meg tried to imagine what the ranch would be like without her favorite horse.可知道作者和Bay的感情很深.故选B.
72.B 细节理解题.第七段说We'll round up the sheep now,before the snow gets too thick.故选B.
73.C 推断判断题.倒数第二段说"Bay saved me."Meg told him what happened.故选C.

点评 阅读理解题是考试的重点题型.主要考查对阅读材料的理解能力,常用的考查题型有:主旨题,细节题,推断题,猜测题,写作方法和作者态度判断题(近几年出现的考查题型).解题时,首先要快速浏览文章掌握大意;再看题干,带着题目去读文章,寻找细节和相关有用信息;最后要根据题型特点,对答案认真分析,仔细推敲.特别要注意区分细节题和推断题不可混淆:细节题考查文章中的事实;推断题考查言下之意.这样就可以快而准地选出正确答案.
