22、 Last night one of our 3 family dogs was hit and killed by a car in front of my mother’s house. The dogs became more or less, my mother’s children after her human children grew up and moved out and my father ran with a midlife crisis and left her. The one that was killed had bonded with my mom far more than the others. She is shocked and upset. I loved the dog, but my true sadness currently results from having to watch my mother experience another tragedy after everything she has been through in her life.
In the midst of all of this I have to sincerely applaud the driver of the vehicle, which feels wrong, but it's not.
I’ll start by stating it was not his fault. The dog chased(追赶) a deer into the road at night. In an effort to not hit the deer with his car he changed direction suddenly, not seeing the dog, leading to her deaths. He could have very easily continued on his way, but he did something that I hope I never forget. He did the right thing (in my eyes). The driver pulled over, carefully wrapped our dog in a blanket he got from his car, and carried her up to my mother's front door.
He was visibly shaking and very upset. He informed my mother of what happened and she broke down immediately. He consoled her the best a stranger could and waited with her while my sister rushed to her house. He left his information and offered assistance in anyway he could.
Yes, he is the man who hit and killed our dog-accidentally. What he really did was sparing my mother from discovering unexpectedly a horrible scene herself while searching for the dog. He had so many choices. Choices that were far easier than what he chose. He did the right thing and for that, thank you, stranger. You recovered my faith in humanity.
【1】What can we learn about the author's mother?
A.She has suffered a lot in her life. B.She has grown up with her dogs.
C.She misses her husband very much. D.She has three dogs killed in an accident.
【2】What's the author s attitude towards the dog-killer?
A.Doubtful. B.Indifferent. C.Critical. D.Praising.
【3】What does the underlined word “consoled” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Encouraged. B.Followed. C.Comforted. D.Helped.
【4】What is the best tide for the text?
A.An Unfortunate Accident B.Sadness over a Dog’s Death
C.An Easy-to-Make Choice D.Faith in Humanity Recovered
23、Fascinating Venice
Located in the northeast of Italy, Venice is well-known for its cultural treasures, romantic atmosphere and unusual living-on-water experience. The city spreads out over 118 islands, which are linked by more than 400 bridges, in the Venetian Lagoon.
Venice’s historical center consists of six regions. Italy in the south, the busiest main regions, are linked by the Rialto Bridge. The famous stone arch bridge (拱桥) crosses Venice’s main waterway — the Grand Canal. When night falls, many tourists enjoy dinner at the outside tables by the Grand Canal while watching colorfully lit boats going by.
Near the end of the S-shaped Grand Canal lies St. Mark’s Basilica, a must-see. Inside, beautiful mosaics (镶嵌图案) tell stories of Bible figures. Nearby are the Doge’s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs. These were made famous by Lord Byron, “I stood in Venice on the Bridge of Sighs, a palace and prison on each hand.” The story has it that if a couple passes under the bridge, their love will last forever.
In the square outside the Basilica, lovers of literature can sit at Caffe Florian, regarded as the oldest coffee house in Europe. Charles Dickens, Henry James as well as Lord Byron enjoyed the aromatic (芳香的) drink here.
Art lovers should buy a museum pass and visit some of the city’s museums. They can view works by Venetian masters like Giovanni, Titian and Tintoretto.
On five small islands in the Venetian Lagoon, Murano has been home to glass-makers since 1291. Tourists can visit factories, studios and the Glass Museum. Glass artists produce everything from simple souvenir pieces to beautiful works of contemporary art. Only glassworks made using traditional methods on Murano can be called Murano Glass. The nearby island of Burano is famous for lace (蕾丝 )making and colorful houses. Looking at the colorful houses and kaleidoscopic (万花筒似的) streets makes people feel as if they were walking in the fairy tale.
The City of Water promises beauty of all kinds, and it definitely lives up to its promise.

24、 My neighbor Mrs. Gargan first told me about it; " Have you seen the tree? she asked as was sitting in the backyard enjoying the October twilight.
"The one down at the corner," she explained. "It's a beautiful- all kinds of colors. You ought to see it."
I told her I would. But I soon forgot about the tree. Three days later, I was jogging down the street, my mind swimming with worries, when a splash of bright orange caught my eye. For an instant, I thought someone’s house had caught fire. Then I remembered the tree.
As I approached it, I slowed down. There was nothing remarkable about the shape of the tree, a medium-sized maple. But Mrs. Gargan had been right about its colors. With its varied nation of color, this tree seemed to become a globe, embracing (拥抱) in its broad branches all seasons and continents: the spring and summer of the Southern hemisphere in the light-and dark greens, theautumn and winter of the Northern in the bunting yellows and bare branches.
As I wondered at this beauty, I thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson's words about the stars. If the stars appeared only once in a thousand years, he observed in Nature, imagine what an exciting event it would be. But because they're up there every night, we barely give them a look.
I felt the same way about the tree. And I had almost missed it.
Once when Emily Dickenson's father noticed a brilliant display of northern lights in the sky over Massachusetls, he lolled (鸣钟)a church bell to alert town's people. That’s what I felt like doing about the tree. I wanted to become a messenger of autumn, awakening the countryside to its wonder. I didn’t have a church bell, but as I walked home, I did ask each neighbor I passed the same simple question "Have you seen the tree?"
【1】Why did the author forget about the tree?
A.He had a lot of worries.
B.He was engaged in work.
C.He didn't take it seriously.
D.He never passed by the corner.
【2】What's special about the tree?
A.Its sinking size.
B.Its rich colours.
C.Its amazing shape.
D.Its broad branches.
【3】What does the underlined word "observed" in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Commented.
B.Obeyed.
C.Noticed.
D.Celebrated.
【4】What did the author finally decide to do?
A.Ring the church bell.
B.Awaken the town's people.
C.Deliver the message of wonder.
D.Check the answer to the question.
