I love Bark magazine! I love the “smiling” pages and the tips on every issue. I am a dog lover and have saved all of my dogs from either death row or from people who were going to put them down.

Dog World has many very interesting and thought-provoking (令人思考的) articles for people involved in dog showing, breeding (饲养), performance events, etc. However, over half of the magazine is devoted to breeder ads, which is boring.

B
A shy 15-year-old boy was heartbroken to hear that his favorite teacher was retiring (退休). Kim-or “Miss K” as he called her-was stepping down from her position as an educator so she could devote her time to Beat Nb: a charity that raises money for medical research.
To help Miss K, Waylon decided to take the pig he’d raised and auction (拍卖) it off at the county fair and donate (捐赠) all the money — but after several people heard about his unselfishness, the auction took a very unexpected turn.
The boy had emailed his situation to several companies who would be buying — hoping they would bid (出价) higher than the usual price of $3-to-4 per pound. His plan worked. When the bidding kicked off, the price jumped to $11 but then one of the bidders, Dan, had an idea and struck a deal with his competition. He won the bidding on the pig then he donated it back to be auctioned again. The second winner bought it for $10 a pound, but then he gave it back, too.
Finally, a third competitor, Dave Moll, was free to buy — then, he, too, unexpectedly donated the pig back — for a third time. Dave Moll, who is Waylon’s father’s employer, said, “I hadn’t planned to spend that much money or give the pig back. But that’s what the people ahead of me did, and I felt like it was the right thing to do, so I did.”
The pig was finally bought and sold a fourth time for $5.50 per pound, meaning that Waylon managed to raise $10.070 for his teacher’s charity. “I did not see that happening,” Waylon said. “Usually they just sell it once! My dream got bigger and bigger every time they said, ‘Give it back.’”
“I’m so proud of him,” Miss K said. “He doesn’t know the influence that he is having. Someday he will.”
4. Why did Waylon auction his pig off
A. To beat his stage fright. B. To buy Miss K a present.
C. To make money for his education. D. To help Miss K raise money.
5. Why did Waylon send emails to several companies
A. To sell the pig at a better price.
B. To tell them how good the pig was.
C. To ask them if they would buy the pig.
D. To tell them where the auction would be held.
6. What does the underlined phrase “struck a deal” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Broke a deal. B. Reached an agreement.
C. Went on strike. D. Made an appointment.
7. What can we infer from paragraph 5
A. Waylon’s father is a good employee.
B. The pig was bought by Dave Moll at last.
C. People didn’t expect Dave Moll to return the pig.
D. Dave Moll didn’t want to keep the pig himself at first.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述一个少年为了帮他老师的慈善机构筹款而拍卖他养的猪，但是每个买主买下猪后都把它送还给拍卖行，然后接着再进行拍卖的感人故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“To help Miss K, Waylon decided to take the pig he’d raised and auction (拍卖) it off at the county fair and donate (捐赠) all the money (为了帮助K小姐，韦隆决定把他养的猪带到县里的集市上拍卖，然后把所有的钱都捐出去)”可知，Waylon拍卖猪的目的是帮K小姐筹钱。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The boy had emailed his situation to several companies who would be buying — hoping they would bid (出价) higher than the usual price of $3-to-4 per pound. (这个男孩把他的情况发给了几家可能购买的公司，希望他们的出价比通常的每磅3到4美元更高。)”可知，男孩给几家公司发邮件，是想把猪卖个好价钱。故选A项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线部分后文“He won the bidding on the pig then he donated it back to be auctioned again. The second winner bought it for $10 a pound, but then he gave it back, too. (他赢得了这头猪的竞标，然后又把它捐赠回来再次拍卖。第二个赢家以每磅10美元的价格买了它，但后来他也把它还给了他。)”可知，Dan是和他的竞争对手约好了把猪拍下来就捐给拍卖行再次拍卖，拍下来再捐给拍卖行再次拍卖。由此推知，划线短语“struck a deal”与“Reached an agreement”意思一致，意为“达成协议”。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Finally, a third competitor, Dave Moll, was free to buy — then, he, too, unexpectedly donated the pig back — for a third time.(最后，第三位竞争者戴夫·莫尔可以自由购买——然后，他也出乎意料地第三次捐赠了这头猪。)”可推知，Dave Moll也把猪还了回去是大家都没有想到的。故选C项。
C
The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago. Later the Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote their names and other things on buildings. Modern graffiti (涂鸦) seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s, and by the late sixties it had reached New York. The new art form really took off in the 1970s, when people began writing their names on buildings all over the city. In the mid seventies it was sometimes hard to see out of a subway car window, because the trains were completely covered in paintings known as masterpieces.
Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies. But at the same time, John Lindsay, the then mayor (市长) of New York, declared (宣布) the first war on graffiti. By 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught, and instead many of the graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings or cloth.
The debate over whether graffiti is art or vandalism (故意破坏公共财物罪) is still going on. Peter Vallone, New York city councilor (市议员), thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art, but if it is on someone else’s buildings it becomes a crime. On the other hand, Felix, a member of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City, says that artists are getting cities for the public back from advertisers, and that graffiti stands for freedom and makes cities livelier.
For years graffiti has help a few people gain international fame. Jean-Michel Basquiat began writing graffiti on the street in the 1970s before becoming a famous artist in the 1980s. Works by the British artist Banksy have been sold for over 100,000. Graffiti is now sometimes big business.
8. What can be learned about graffiti in the 1970s
A. It went through a hard time. B. It first reached New York.
C. Modern graffiti first appeared. D. Modern graffiti became really popular.
9. How did things change after the first war on graffiti
A. Graffiti was considered illegal on subway trains.
B. Graffiti disappeared from subway trains.
C. New York looked a lot cleaner.
D. Graffiti was accepted as an art form.
10. What is Peter Vallone’s opinion about graffiti
A. Graffiti protects the streets from advertisements.
B. Graffiti can be beautiful if it is done by a skilled artist.
C. Graffiti is a crime if it is done without permission.
D. Graffiti can be useful for cities if it expresses good messages.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了涂鸦文化在美国的兴起、发展和现状。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The new art form really took off in the 1970s, when people began writing their names on buildings all over the city.”（这种新的艺术形式在20世纪70年代真正兴起，当时人们开始在城市各处的建筑物上写下自己的名字。）可知，20世纪70年代现代涂鸦变得非常受欢迎。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“By 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught, and instead many of the graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings or cloth.”（到了20世纪80年代，想要在地铁上写字而不被抓住变得困难多了，于是许多涂鸦艺术家开始使用建筑物的屋顶或布料。）可知，在纽约市长John Lindsay首次向涂鸦宣战后，在地铁上涂鸦会被抓。由此推知，在地铁上涂鸦被认为是违法的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Peter Vallone, New York city councilor (市议员), thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art, but if it is on someone else’s buildings it becomes a crime.”（纽约市议员Peter Vallone认为，获得许可的涂鸦可以是艺术，但如果是在别人的建筑上涂鸦，那就是犯罪了。）可知，Peter Vallone认为未经允许涂鸦是犯罪行为。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者乘坐火车从广东到新疆的经历。
【32题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：当摄影师Mathieu Paley正在寻找办法让他的妻子和两个儿子从香港到中国西北部时，这看起来是个完美的选择。分析句子可知，句中有谓语“was looking for”且句中无连词，故空格处应用非谓语动词，根据空格前“ways”可知，空格处应用不定式作后置定语，对“ways”进行解释说明，不定式符号to后接动词原形，故填to get。
【33题详解】
考查形容词。句意：“我觉得这太棒了。”他说。分析句子可知，空格处应用形容词，在句中作表语，amazing“令人惊讶的”，主语it，指代这次旅程，所以空处用形容词amazing，故填amazing。
【34题详解】
考查介词。句意：更妙的是，火车从香港附近的广东到新疆的52小时路程比乘坐飞机要简单得多，也便宜得多。根据句意和句中“much simpler and far less expensive”可知，句中把乘坐飞机和火车进行对比，应用形容词的比较级，故空格处应用“than”，意为“比”。故填than。
【35题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：火车的最后一站是一个叫乌鲁木齐的城市。分析句子可知，句中有系动词“is”且句中无连词，故空格处应用非谓语动词，“city”和“call”之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用过去分词called作后置定语。故填called。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：Paley回忆道：“我们在最后一天都看着对方，希望能再持续24小时！”分析句子可知，句中有谓语“were looking at”且句中无连词，故空格处应用非谓语动词，句子主语“We”和“wish”之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故应用现在分词wishing作状语。故填wishing。
【37题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：在乌鲁木齐待了几天后，Paley一家出发前往巴基斯坦。分析句子可知，“day”意为“一天”，为可数名词，根据空格前“a few”可知，空格处应用复数形式days。故填days。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：他们乘公共汽车向西南方向到和田市，然后到坎什加尔市，那里的大多数人都是维吾尔族，维吾尔族是中国的少数民族，主要居住在西部。根据句意可知，Paley在讲述过去发生的事，句子应用一般过去时，动词要用过去式，“take”的过去式为“took”。故填took。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意维吾尔人说一种类似于土耳其语的语言。分析句子可知，空处及之后内容为限制性定语从句，先行词为“a language”，指物，在从句中作主语，故应用关系代词which或that引导从句。故填which/that。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：“这是一次短暂的旅行，只有六个小时，”Paley说。根据句意可知，句中泛指一次短暂的旅行，故空格处应用不定冠词，“short”单词的第一个音素为辅音音素，故应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意：这次旅行让我看到了中国的辽阔和美丽。分析句子可知，“let”为动词，后接人称代词宾格，“I”为人称代词主格，对应的宾格为“me”。故填me。

I love Bark magazine! I love the “smiling” pages and the tips on every issue. I am a dog lover and have saved all of my dogs from either death row or from people who were going to put them down.

A shy 15-year-old boy was heartbroken to hear that his favorite teacher was retiring (退休). Kim-or “Miss K” as he called her-was stepping down from her position as an educator so she could devote her time to Beat Nb: a charity that raises money for medical research.
To help Miss K, Waylon decided to take the pig he’d raised and auction (拍卖) it off at the county fair and donate (捐赠) all the money — but after several people heard about his unselfishness, the auction took a very unexpected turn.
The boy had emailed his situation to several companies who would be buying — hoping they would bid (出价) higher than the usual price of $3-to-4 per pound. His plan worked. When the bidding kicked off, the price jumped to $11 but then one of the bidders, Dan, had an idea and struck a deal with his competition. He won the bidding on the pig then he donated it back to be auctioned again. The second winner bought it for $10 a pound, but then he gave it back, too.
Finally, a third competitor, Dave Moll, was free to buy — then, he, too, unexpectedly donated the pig back — for a third time. Dave Moll, who is Waylon’s father’s employer, said, “I hadn’t planned to spend that much money or give the pig back. But that’s what the people ahead of me did, and I felt like it was the right thing to do, so I did.”
The pig was finally bought and sold a fourth time for $5.50 per pound, meaning that Waylon managed to raise $10.070 for his teacher’s charity. “I did not see that happening,” Waylon said. “Usually they just sell it once! My dream got bigger and bigger every time they said, ‘Give it back.’”
“I’m so proud of him,” Miss K said. “He doesn’t know the influence that he is having. Someday he will.”
4. Why did Waylon auction his pig off
A. To beat his stage fright. B. To buy Miss K a present.
C. To make money for his education. D. To help Miss K raise money.
5. Why did Waylon send emails to several companies
A. To sell the pig at a better price.
B. To tell them how good the pig was.
C. To ask them if they would buy the pig.
D. To tell them where the auction would be held.
6. What does the underlined phrase “struck a deal” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Broke a deal. B. Reached an agreement.
C Went on strike. D. Made an appointment.
7. What can we infer from paragraph 5
A. Waylon’s father is a good employee.
B. The pig was bought by Dave Moll at last.
C. People didn’t expect Dave Moll to return the pig.
D. Dave Moll didn’t want to keep the pig himself at first.
C
The first drawings on walls appeared in caves thousands of years ago. Later the Ancient Romans and Greeks wrote their names and other things on buildings. Modern graffiti (涂鸦) seems to have appeared in Philadelphia in the early 1960s, and by the late sixties it had reached New York. The new art form really took off in the 1970s, when people began writing their names on buildings all over the city. In the mid seventies it was sometimes hard to see out of a subway car window, because the trains were completely covered in paintings known as masterpieces.
Art galleries in New York began buying graffiti in the early seventies. But at the same time, John Lindsay, the then mayor (市长) of New York, declared (宣布) the first war on graffiti. By 1980s it became much harder to write on subway trains without being caught, and instead many of the graffiti artists began using roofs of buildings or cloth.
The debate over whether graffiti is art or vandalism (故意破坏公共财物罪) is still going on. Peter Vallone, New York city councilor (市议员), thinks that graffiti done with permission can be art, but if it is on someone else’s buildings it becomes a crime. On the other hand, Felix, a member of the Berlin-based group Reclaim Your City, says that artists are getting cities for the public back from advertisers, and that graffiti stands for freedom and makes cities livelier.
For years graffiti has help a few people gain international fame. Jean-Michel Basquiat began writing graffiti on the street in the 1970s before becoming a famous artist in the 1980s. Works by the British artist Banksy have been sold for over 100,000. Graffiti is now sometimes big business.
8. What can be learned about graffiti in the 1970s
A. It went through a hard time. B. It first reached New York.
C. Modern graffiti first appeared. D. Modern graffiti became really popular.
9 How did things change after the first war on graffiti
A. Graffiti was considered illegal on subway trains.
B. Graffiti disappeared from subway trains.
C. New York looked a lot cleaner.
D. Graffiti was accepted as an art form.
10. What is Peter Vallone’s opinion about graffiti
A. Graffiti protects the streets from advertisements.
B. Graffiti can be beautiful if it is done by a skilled artist.
C. Graffiti is a crime if it is done without permission.
D. Graffiti can be useful for cities if it expresses good messages.
