【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。NangNoStiam四年前不小心丟了一條狗。這條忠誠(chéng)的狗

在走丟的地方等了四年，四年期間他得到了一位好心女士的悉心照料，最后在記者的幫助下與

主人重聚。作為回報(bào)，他留下來陪伴這位女士。

5.B詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫線短語(yǔ)所在句的句意“那個(gè)帖子很快就,Leo的照片被分享了成百上千

次。''可推斷，畫線短語(yǔ)意為“迅速傳播”，與Spreadquickly意思最為接近。故選B項(xiàng)。

6.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)笫三段“Whenshelearnedthathehadbeenwaitingforherinthesamespotfor

thelastfouryears,herheartmelted（融化）.“可推斷，NangNoiSittisarn得知她的狗一直在等待

她，她深受感動(dòng)。故選C項(xiàng)。

7.C推理判斷題。這條狗能夠等自己的主人四年，說明了他很忠誠(chéng);根據(jù)最后一段的敘述可知，

這條狗找到主人后還要留下來陪伴自己的恩人，說明他知道感恩。由此可推斷，我們通過

這條狗的故事應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)忠誠(chéng)與感恩。故選C項(xiàng)。

【語(yǔ)篇解讀】這是一篇說明文。主要說明了哈佛大學(xué)的一組工程師受到大自然的啟發(fā)，創(chuàng)

造了第一只機(jī)器蒼蠅。文章還說明了設(shè)計(jì)這種機(jī)械蒼蠅遇到的困難和該飛行裝置的應(yīng)用區(qū)域，

這種設(shè)計(jì)為研究飛行力學(xué)和昆蟲控制提供了一種新方法

機(jī)器人飛行器連接到一個(gè)小型的，外置的電源時(shí)，它的目標(biāo)是最終給它配備一個(gè)內(nèi)置的電

源，這樣它可能有一天在救援地點(diǎn)，在農(nóng)民的田地或戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)上執(zhí)行數(shù)據(jù)收集工作。）可推知機(jī)
