一、阅读理解
“Why did the fox steal my shoes ” sounds like the start of a brain teaser(脑筋急转弯) or an annoyingly hot song. But for people in Berlin, it was a real question that a local fox was behind a series of shoes thefts.
About two weeks ago, Meyer, a resident of Berlin, noticed that one of his new running shoes had disappeared from his porch, and he decided to examine the theft, a German news site reported.
Meyer quickly learned that he was not the thief’s only victim, and a tip helped him catch the fox. Days later, Meyer spotted the fox again; he followed it and discovered the fox’s secret place of more than 100 shoes.
Meyer got a photo of the thieving fox and its ill-gotten shoes, which he shared on Twitter. The shoes contained sneakers, and slippers in range of colors, shapes and sizes, though the most numerous shoes by far were Crocs.
This isn’t the first time that an urban fox has demonstrated a seeming shoe fetish(恋物). In August 2019, a fox in Melbourne, Australia, repeatedly visited a woman’s porch and stole three boots over the course of a week. In a small town in western Germany, a female fox stole about 110 to 120 shoes in just one night, presumably “for her babies to play with”, according to Reuters.
It’s unknown whether all of these foxes were acting independently or whether their actions were linked, perhaps as part of an international shoe-stealing group with a bad purpose that humans can only imagine.
1、What can we know about Meyer according to the passage
A.He had his shoes stolen.
B.He was physically attacked by a fox.

6、答案：1-5 CBADD 6-10 AACBC 11-15 BABDC
解析：1.—切都始于上周日, Taylor带着他的狗去给他的汽车加油。truck卡车; bus公交车; car汽车; boat船。由下文中的his car可知事件是关于他的汽车。
2.Taylor告诉警方他的汽车被困在雪里了。broken破损的; stuck卡住的; lost丢失的; changed改变的。由下文中的he was trapped in the snow可知, 汽车陷在了雪里, get stuck意为"卡住"。
3.过了一段时间, 他睡着了, 然后在周一醒过来, 发现雪更大了, 不能下车了。fall asleep睡着; take risks冒险; try out尝试; keep on继续。此处与下文的woke up对应, 指他睡着了。
4.过了一段时间, 他睡着了, 然后在周一醒过来, 发现雪更大了, 不能下车了。also也; almost几乎; still仍然; even甚至。下文指出他已经不能从车里出来了, 可以推断雪下得更大了, 要用even表示递进。
5.他在周一尝试着走出来, 但雪太深了, 很难步行。put out熄灭, 伸出; call out召集; break out爆发; walk out走出。下文表明雪太深了, 可见是很难走出去的。
6.他在周一尝试着走出来, 但雪太深了, 很难步行。 difficult困难的; boring无聊的; important重要的; possible可能的。雪太深了, 因此在上面步行是比较艰难的。
7.所以他和他的狗回到了车上。return返回; point指向; tend趋向于; appeal吸引。承接前文情节, 发现在雪中走路很困难, Taylor应该会选择回到车上再想办法。
8.根据报告, 到周三一份寻找Taylor的启事就被贴了出来。结合语境可知, Taylor从周日出去, 到周三已经几天没有回家了, 因此会被人认为是失踪了。
9.在Taylor被困在雪中后接下来的几天里……。until直到; after之后; before之前; unless除非。根据下文描述的求生过程来看, 这些事都发生在Taylor被困在雪中之后。
10.他告诉警方说他通过不时地发动汽车来保持温暖。clean干净的; hot热的; warm温暖的; mild温和的。结合语境可知, Taylor被困在大雪中是需要保暖的。
11.他把带的一些卷饼酱当作食物吃。buy购买; eat吃; make制作; borrow借用。既然是as food"作为食物", 显然是吃掉了。
12.周五, 一个滑冰者拨打了911说他们发现了Taylor。滑冰者报告警方就是因为他们看到了Taylor。
13.警方很快派了一辆工程车把Taylor和他的狗挖出来。 send发送; dig挖; pick挑选; tick打钩。结合前文汽车被困在雪里的事实, 这里指把汽车从雪里挖出来。故选B项。
