①Red Dog was special.
①He was not one of those dogs who ran shouting into the wind（迎风呼喊） in groups（成群结队）. ②He just loved walking with me. ③Sometimes, on the narrow（狭窄的） road, he walked so close that（太近以致于） his bright red fur（毛发） brushed（刷） against my leg.
①"Red Dog," I'd say, "each morning when we meet for the first time（第一次）, why do you always look so glad?”
①Of course, Red Dog never made reply（回答） with words. ②If he wanted to say something, he spoke with his eyes, or the bend in his tail（尾巴弯曲）. ③However, since（既然） we were friends, that was enough.
①At night, Red Dog slept on the front porch（门廊）, lying there and dreaming dreams of long summer days and endless（无尽的） walks. ②His night-world filled up with（被……填满） the moon and stars, hoot-owl hoots（鸮叫声）, and ghostly white fogs（幽灵般的白雾） that crept silently into the fields（悄无声息地爬进了田野）.
①Between dreams, I think that Red Dog must have awakened（醒来）, raised his head, and looked around. ②Maybe then he became a little lonely（孤独的）. ③And probably he wondered why I got to sleep inside, but he had to sleep on the porch（门廊）.
①But, you see, Red Dog lived in a time when dogs such as he were not allowed（允许） to go inside their masters'（主人的） homes. ②In those days, most people didn't even believe that dogs had feelings, though I did.
①Yes, during those days when we walked in the fields and woods（在田野和树林里）, Red Dog and I helped one another see things in special ways. ②Weedy roadsides（杂草丛生的路边） were like museums and the fields of corn and beans（玉米田和豆子田） aroundus were like circuses with many rings（有许多环的马戏团）.
31. Why was Red Dog special?
Red Dog 为什么特殊？
A. Because he loved walking with the author.
B. Because he could swim.
C. Because he loved playing with other dogs.
D. Because he could play with kids.
A. 因为他喜欢和作者一起散步。
B. 因为他会游泳。
C. 因为它喜欢和其他狗一起玩。
D. 因为它能和孩子们一起玩。
本文开篇第一段就是 Red Dog was special. 第二段①②句就接着进行解释。Red dog 特殊之处在于“它只是喜欢和我一起散步”，与A项内容一致，其他三项都与文章内容不符。
1. shouting into the wind 迎风呐喊
2. bend in 弯曲……
3. so…that… 意为“如此……以至于……”
so that 意为“以便;为了”，相当于 in order to/so as to.”
too…to… 表示太……而不能……。
Red Dog很特别。
它不是那种成群结队迎着风大喊大叫的狗。他喜欢和我一起散步。有时，在狭窄的路上，它走得很近，鲜红的毛发蹭着我的腿。
32. What would Red Dog do to express himself?
Red Dog会怎样表达自己？
A. Raise his head.
B. Use his eyes or tail.
C. Lie down outside.
D. Speak a human language.
A. 抬起头。
B. 用眼睛或尾巴。
C. 躺在外面。
D. 说人类的语言。
问及 Red Dog 如何表达自己，主要体现在第四段第①②句，Red Dog 从不用语言回答，而是用眼睛或弯曲尾巴，即D选项错误，B项正确。
A选项是作者认为 Red Dog 在梦醒之后的举动，C选项是它每天都睡在外面的门廊。
1. made reply with words 用语言回答
2. since为重要考点：
一用作介词，表“自从……以后”，since后接时间点，主句用现在完成时。
二可表原因，跟 because 类似，表“因为，由于；既然”。
3. raise 和 rise 二者都有“上升”的意思，区别在于：
raise 后需要加宾语，如 raise sth，意思是“把某物举起、抬起；
rise 后不需要加宾语，如 sth rises，意思是“某物自己升起、升高”。
"Red Dog，"我说，"每天早晨，当我们第一次见面时，你为什么总是那么高兴？
当然，Red Dog 从来不用语言回答。如果它想说什么，就用眼睛或尾巴的弯曲来表达。不过，既然我们是朋友，这就足够了。
33. How might Red Dog feel when he awakened at night?
Red Dog晚上醒来时会有什么感觉？
A. Curious and excited.
C. Happy and excited.
B. Terrified and lonely
D. Lonely and puzzled.
A. 好奇又兴奋
C. 高兴和激动。
B. 害怕和孤独
D. 孤独和困惑
第六段中描述作者认为 Red Dog 在醒来后的表现，其中有两处能代表其情感色彩，一个是 lonely，另一个是 wonder why ，前者体现其孤独感，后者表现对自身睡在门廊外表示不解，而D项中直接出现 lonely，以及 puzzled 一词，意为“困惑，不解，与原文一致。C项中也出现了 lonely，但另一个词 terrified 与原文语境不符。
1. awaken （使）醒来 be awakened 被吵醒
2. wondered why 不明白为什么
晚上，Red Dog 睡在前廊上，躺在那里，梦见漫长的夏日和无尽的散步。它的夜世界充满了月亮和星星、鸟叫声和无声无息飘进田野的幽灵般的白雾。
在梦的间隙，我想 Red Dog 一定醒了，抬起头，环顾四周。也许那时它变得有些孤独。也许它想知道为什么我可以睡在屋里，而它却只能睡在门廊上。
34. How did most people think about dogs in the story?
大多数人是如何看待故事中的狗的？
A. Dogs could speak with words.
B. Dogs didn't have feelings.
C. Dogs could enter masters’ houses.
D. Dogs were people's friends.
A. 狗会说话。
B. 狗没有感情。
C. 狗可以进入主人的房子。
D. 狗是人们的朋友。
大多数人是怎么看待故事中的狗？第七段中 In those days, most people didn't even believe that dogs had feelings, though I did. 十分清晰地阐明了大多数人对Red Dog的看法，他们不相信狗有感情，但是作者相信，与B项内容一致。
A项与文中它不会说话冲突，C项与文中狗不能进入主任的房子冲突，D项是作者的观点，并不是大多数人的想法。
1. such as 表示举例，意为“例如，诸如此类的，像……那样的”，相当于like 或 for example 。
2. though 经常用来表达尽管或虽然的意思，引导一个与主句相对的从句，强调对比或限制。
但是，Red Dog 生活的那个时代，像它这样的狗是不允许进入主人家的。当时，大多数人甚至不相信狗有感情，但我相信。
是的，在田野和树林里散步的那些日子里，我和 Red Dog 用特殊的方式互相帮助。路边的杂草就像博物馆，我们周围的玉米地和豆子地就像有许多环的马戏团。
35.What is the passage mainly about?
这篇文章主要讲了什么？
A. Bedrooms and yards.
B. Fields and woods.
C. Red Dog and his master.
D. Museums and circuses.
A. 卧室和庭院
B. 田野和树林
C. 小红狗和他的主人
D. 博物馆和马戏团
送分题，这篇文章通篇都在讲 Red Dog 和主人的故事，其他的选项都不构成对C选项的干扰。
