Question

    It was Monday. Mrs Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.

Considering that there was no better way, Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: "Give my dog half a pound of meat. " Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently."Take this to the butcher（屠夫）and he's going to give you your lunch today.”

Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.

At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.

The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog is meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers. But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, "This is a small dog. Why does Mrs Smith give it so much meat to eat today?"

Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!

1.It seemed that the dog knew well that the paper Mrs Smith gave it            .

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是一条狗在一个屠夫那里“骗”肉吃的故事。

1.推理判断题。根据文章第四段的The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog is meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers. But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper.可知狗一天三次叼着纸去换肉吃，故推测狗很清楚纸可以让它吃到肉，即纸对它有好处。A. could do it much good（对它非常有好处）符合以上推测，故选A项。

2.推理判断题。根据文章第四、五段的The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, "This is a small dog. Why does Mrs Smith give it so much meat to eat today?"Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!可知，狗叼来的纸上根本没有字，故推测狗以为只要有纸就能换肉。C. a piece of paper could bring it half a pound of meat（一张纸可以让它吃半磅肉）复合以上推测，故选C项。

3.推理判断题。从最后一段"Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!”可知，屠夫发现那张纸上什么也没有，一片空白，故推测他意识到自己被骗了。C. the butcher found himself cheated by the clever animal（屠夫意识到自己被聪明的狗欺骗了）复合以上推测，故选C项。
