Question

The Wolf at the Door

Russ Fee was asleep inside his tent last summer when a series of screams shocked him awake. Throwing on his shoes, he ran out to investigate. Fee and his wife were travelling through Canada's Banff National Park to enjoy its breathtaking beauty and awesome wildlife. It was the latter he now experienced. Although it was dark, Fee could see a neighboring tent was in a mess. Backing out was a wolf, dragging something in his teeth. That thing was a man J

Moments earlier, Elisa and Matt Rispoli, from New Jersey, were asleep with their two young children when the wolf broke into their tent. "It was like something out of a horror movie，'‘ Elisa posted on Facebook. "For three minutes, Matt threw his body in front of me and the boys and fought against the wolf. At one point, Matt got the upper hand, pinning (压住) the wolf to the ground. But the wolf held its jaw onto Matt's arm tightly, set its powerful legs, and began dragging Matt outside while I was pulling on his legs trying to get him back，'‘ Elisa wrote.

It was then that Fee entered the picture. He ran at the wolf, kicking it “like I was kicking in a door,” he told ABC New York. The wolf dropped Matt and emerged from the tent. "Wolves are large，'‘ Fee told the radio show Calgary Eyeopener. " I felt like I had hit someone that was way out of my weight class."

Before the wolf could turn its anger on Fee, Matt, his arms bloodied, flew out of the tent to continue the battle. The men threw rocks at the wolf, forcing it back, then the Fees and the Rispolis escaped to the shelter of the Fees’ minivan(厢式旅行车). An ambulance was called, and Matt was taken to a local hospital suffering from open wounds. Luckily he has fully recovered. The wolf was tracked down by park officials and killed in a painless way.

As for Fee, whom Elisa called their lifesaver, he does admit to a fleeting(闪现的),if less- than-heroic, thought during the heat of battle. The moment the wolf locked eyes with him, Fee says, "I immediately regretted kicking it."

【解析】

本文为记叙文。本文讲述了Russ Fee在加拿大国家公园露营时英勇救人与狼搏斗的故事。

1.细节理解题。由第一段Russ Fee was asleep inside his tent last summer when a series of screams shocked him awake. (去年夏天，Russ Fee在他的帐篷里睡觉时，一连串的尖叫声把他惊醒了。) 和Backing out was a wolf, dragging something in his teeth(一只狼在后退，用牙齿拖着什么东西。).可知，他们在公园度假时，一连串的叫声把他惊醒，原来是有人遭到狼的突然袭击，故选D。

2.细节理解题。根据第二、三段… the wolf held its jaw onto Matt's arm tightly, set its powerful legs, and began dragging Matt outside while I was pulling on his legs trying to get him back(那只狼用下巴紧紧咬住马特的手臂，抬起有力的双腿，开始把马特拖到外面，而我则拉着他的腿想把他拽回来)，…和It was then that Fee entered the picture(就在那时，Russ Fee出现了)可知，在狼把Matt Rispoli拖出了帐篷后，Russ Fee加入了抢救过程，故选C。

3.推理判断题。根据第四段The men threw rocks at the wolf, forcing it back, then the Fees and the Rispolis escaped to the shelter of the Fees’ minivan(厢式旅行车).An ambulance was called, and Matt was taken to a local hospital suffering from open wounds. Luckily he has fully recovered(这些人向狼扔石头，把它逼回去，然后Fees和Rispolis一家跑到Fee厢式旅行车躲避。救护车来了，马特被送到了当地的医院).可知，因为得到了巨大的帮助和及时的治疗，Matt活了下来，故选C。

4.推理判断题。从最后一段he does admit to a fleeting(闪现的), if less-than-heroic, thought during the heat of battle. The moment the wolf locked eyes with him, Fee says, "I immediately regretted kicking it."(他承认在激烈的战斗中有一丝闪现的不那么英勇的想法。当那只狼与费目光相遇的那一刻，Fee说:“我立刻后悔不该踢它。”)可知，他在战斗中承认了自己的恐惧。故选D。
