题文
阅读理解 There has been an outpouring of love for a 23yearold disabled woman whose dog was killed in frontof her while a groomer(美容师)tried to trim(修剪)its claws.
Calls and emails came from as far away as the Upper Peninsula and Arizona as well as Oakland and
Macomb counties, offering Laurie Crouch, who uses a wheelchair because of multiple sclerosis(硬化症), everything from dogs to money, such as that from Jason Daly of Roseville who said, "I would like
to buy her a new dog."
A story about the death of Crouch's pet, Gooch, was printed on the front page of Macomb Daily.
Crouch said a groomer tied Gooch up with a collar, and then she and a man sat on the dog to trim its
nails. Gooch died after one claw was trimmed.
Crouch yelled at the groomer to stop when she saw Gooch was struggling to breathe, but she said
she was ignored. "If I could have walked, I would have put my hands on her and pulled her off my dog
and physically stopped her, but I can't do that." Gooch was not a trained service animal, but naturally
helped Crouch by picking up things for her.
"This case is absolute animal abuse(虐待)," Larry Obrecht, division manager of the Oakland County
Animal Shelter in Auburn Hills, said.
People who read the story contacted Oakland Press to offer help. A message, from Rebecca
Amett of Giggles N Wiggles Puppy Rescue in Roseville, said, "We have puppies to donate…and want
to help the young woman who lost her service dog."
"When Gooch was with me I was happy," Crouch said, "I think I can be happy again but no animal
can replace Gooch. There's never going to be another Gooch out there but I think I will find a dog that
can bring me joy again."1. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. A disabled woman's service dog.

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解 There.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
