三、閱讀選擇。
When I first saw Kai 7 years ago, she was sitting in my front yard, hugging (抱著) my dog Harley. She and her husband Sean had just moved into a small house down the road from us. I think Harley's friendliness interested Kai, just as her interested Harley. The second time I talked to her, I considered Kai to be a friend I would treasure. I felt better just being around her. Her voice was always cheerful.
It didn't take long before everyone in our neighborhood loved Kai. Children and adults visited her home often. Although she already had four cats, she adopted a homeless dog as well.
When I visited her, she would kindly listen to all of our troubles and then give some useful words that we would leave her home with our hearts singing. Sometimes I would read her my stories and she would encourage me to keep writing.
However, no one discovered that Kai was slowly dying from cancer (癌癥). She told me that the first time we talked she was already terminal (晚期). But she still lived each day with such cheer. Sadly, she died on a cold winter day.
During the short time we had together, I got the meaning of truly living from Kai. She taught me so many lessons about kindness, laughter, hope and cheer.

答案：1. C
解析：根據(jù)“Although she already had four cats, she adopted a homeless dog as well.”，“adopted”在這里是“收養(yǎng)”的意思，選項(xiàng)C“Take sb else's child into your family and bring it up as your own.”（把別人的孩子帶到你家并當(dāng)作自己的孩子撫養(yǎng)，此處引申為收養(yǎng)寵物）符合語(yǔ)境。
2. A
解析：文中提到“When I visited her, she would kindly listen to all of our troubles and then give some useful words that we would leave her home with our hearts singing.”，說(shuō)明Kai會(huì)友善地傾聽(tīng)大家的煩惱并給出有用的建議，所以大家離開(kāi)時(shí)心情愉悅。
3. B
解析：從文中“she would kindly listen to all of our troubles”能看出，Kai是一個(gè)善于傾聽(tīng)的人。
4. A

5. B
