Question

Dear Miss Li,

I’d like to thank you for sending money    1   “Animal Helpers”, an organization set up to help disabled people. You see, you have helped    2   it possible for me to have “Lucky”. My life    3  pleasure because of him now. Let me tell you my story.

Being blind, deaf, unable to walk or use your hands    4   is something that most people cannot imagine. But there are many people who face these challenges, and I am one of them. Because I can’t use my arms or legs well, things like answering the telephone, opening and   5

doors or carrying things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to    6  . She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see   

  7    it would be possible for me to get a trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog.

   8   six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to   9   him

home. My dog’s name is “Lucky” – a good name for him    10   I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation!

  11  , you might ask? Well, he has been trained to    12   different instructions. For example, I say, “Lucky! Fetch my book,” and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, even some difficult    13   like “upstairs”.

Lucky is an    14   dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me too one day. And so I thank you again for supporting “Animal Helpers”. It is very important that this organization does not run out of money. Your donation   15   and the money is well used to help disabled people like me.

Best wishes,

Liz Smith

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了作者写感谢信感谢Miss Li给动物助手组织捐款以及自己是怎样成为幸运者活动一条受过训练的狗的故事。

1.根据sending可知应该用to，send sth to sb是将某物寄给某人，固定用法。所以本题选B。

2.根据help do sth “帮助某人做某事”可知，本题应该用make。所以本题选A。

3.表示“用……充满”时，既可以用be filled with 也可以用be full of ，根据题意可知，应该用is full of。所以本题选B。

4.通过Being blind, deaf可推知，残疾人行动不容易，此处修饰walk和use，故用副词easily。所以本题选C。

5.根据前面的opening和后面的doors可知，此处应该表示关门，故用shutting。所以本题选C。

6.根据文意可知，作者的朋友想要帮助作者，故应该用help sb out“帮助某人克服困难”。所以本题选D。

7.根据题干本句的意思是“她说她会跟说“动物帮手”看到能否让我得到一个经过训练的狗。”“是否”是if。所以本题选B。

8.根据题干，本句意思是“一条狗经过在“动物助手”六个月的训练后， 我能带它回家”所以应该是在训练后。所以本题选A。

9.本文中对作者来说应该是带回家，应该是“来”故用bring。所以本题选C。

10.本句根据上下文可知，作者之所以给这条狗取名Lucky，就是因为他感到自己很幸运。故应用用because。所以本题选A。

11.通过下文作者描述Lucky是怎样帮助他的可知，本句应该是“你可能会问它是怎样帮助我的？”。所以本题选D。

12.根据题干，本句的意思是“我训练它懂得不同的指令。”故用understand。所以本题选B。

13.此处应该是代替前面的words，是名词复数，故用ones。所以本题选C。

14.通过阅读全文，Lucky能做许多事情，故作者认为Lucky是一条令惊奇的狗，故用amazing。所以本题选A。

15.通过阅读可知，本句应该是“非常感谢你的捐赠。”也就是你的捐赠被感激，故用被动语态，greatly修饰appreciated。所以本题选D。

考点：本题考查人生百味。
