Question

A woman whose sports car was stolen with her dog in it put up notices all over the area that made it clear getting back her pet was more important than her car．

“Whoever did this can keep my car．Please let Benjerman come home,” the notice said．

It is not known whether the thief showed any pity, but almost 30 hours after the 1 pm theft Friday, Kimberly Atkins of Dover and Benjerman，a 12-year-old black retriever（猎犬），were reunited after police located them in Barrington．

“He’s hungry, he’s dirty, but he’s very happy to be home，”Atkins said．

The car was found at about 5 pm Saturday off Route 125 in a swampy area frequented by off-the-road cars and dirt bikes．However, the police couldn’t control Benjerman，and they had to call Atkins to come and get him．

Atkins said the thief cared for Benjerman a little by providing him with some dry cat food．She believed Benjerman ended up drinking some muddy water in the area．

She said they have been together for nearly 11 years after she took him back from a society shelter in Dallas, Texas．

 Before Benjerman was found，Atkins and several friends put up notices all over the city and in Somersworth．They also contacted animal shelters，throughout southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

The notice stated there was a reward，and also that the dog needed medication．Any caller could remain anonymous（匿名的）．

Atkins had parked the car outside a hardware store with the keys inside and gone in to rent a carpet cleaner.

¨It was l0 minutes and I came out and my car was gone along with Benjerman in broad daylight，” Atkins said．The car thief threw Atkins’ wallet and other personal items out of the car before escaping from the scene．

Answer 1

【小题1】D

【小题2】B

【小题3】D

【小题4】B

解析:

【小题1】从文章开头可知一位女士的跑车连同车上的宠物狗Benjerman 一起被偷，丢失后她写了寻物启事，启示上说：“无论谁偷了我的东西，可以留下我的车，但是请兑换我的宠物狗Benjerman”这说明她的宠物狗重要，所以最佳题目应该是D项。

【小题2】 通读完全文可知Atkins 先从社会的避难所把Benjerman 带回家饲养；一个星期五的下午1点，Atkins 开车到五金店买地毯清洗器，把车停在了去近点的外面，粗心没有拔下车钥匙，等她出来时车和她的宠物狗就被偷了；然后她贴出启示；在车丢失后的约30小时警察发现了她的车和狗；当然Atkins 随后又见到了她的宠物狗Benjerman。所以答案是B。

【小题3】从原文可知Atkins 没有拔下车钥匙，所以推断小偷偷车时一定很容易。

【小题4】A项中immediately 一词与原文不符；C项与原文第五段相背；D 项中狗被发现的时间错误，应是at about 5 pm Saturday。 所以B项正确。
