　　(2024·陜西卷)

　　When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life, she did what comes naturally. The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of a cliff (懸崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.

　　Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds. Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.

　　Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.

　　For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holden if he would like his dog back.

　　A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.

　　The dog had initially been knocked unconscious (失去知覺的) but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry，” Steve Tregear said. “It was a very lucky dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water，” he added.

　　It was, as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle (奇跡)”．

　　語篇解讀　這是一篇記敘文。文章敘述了一只名叫Judy的狗，在追趕綿羊時掉落懸崖，掉進大海并遭遇颶風，但是它在惡劣的環境下頑強地生存下來的故事。

　　1．The dog Judy fell down the cliff when she was ________.

　　A. rescuing her owner

　　B. caught in a hurricane

　　C. blocked by a rock

　　D. running after a sheep

　　答案與解析　D　考查細節理解。根據文章中的“The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields...”可知答案為D。

　　2．Who spotted Judy after the accident?

　　A. A birdwatcher.

　　B. A student from Leeds.

　　C. Six volunteers.

　　D. The coastguard of Cornwall.

　　答案與解析　A　考查細節理解。根據文章中的“A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock”可知，一位觀鳥者用他的望遠鏡發現了絕望地蹲在巖石上的Judy。故答案為A。

　　3．What can we infer from the text?

　　A. People like to travel with their pets.

　　B. Judy was taken to the fields for hunting.

　　C. Luck plays a vital role in Judy's survival.

　　D. Holden cared little where Judy was buried.

　　答案與解析　C　考查推理判斷。 根據文章中的“...had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream”以及“It was a very lucky dog”可知答案為C。

　　4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

　　A. Miracle of the Coastguard.

　　B. Surviving a Hurricane.

　　C. Dangers in the Wild.

　　D. Coming Back from the Dead.

　　答案與解析　D　考查主旨大意。文章主要敘述了一只幸運的狗Judy在惡劣的環境下頑強生存下來的故事，所以選項D“起死回生”是文章的最佳標題。
