第二节:阅读理解
A
A sick little gift is being kept alive thanks to her best friend--a dog who carries her oxygen tank on his back. Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr. Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in Louisville, uses the slide or even rides her bike.
Alida was diagnosed(诊断)with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy(NEHI)when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter(过滤)oxygen through extra layers(膜)of cells making it hard or almost impossible to breathe.
For Alida and her parents, it meant that even a walk in the park was very difficult because oxygen equipment was too heavy for the youngster to be able to carry herself. As parents they wanted to do something to help their daughter survive despite having a tube following her all the time. The couple found out about “service dogs” from a TV program and realized an animal trained to help the blind could be trained to help Alida. They finally found help in the shape of golden doodle—a retriever(寻回犬)crossed with a poodle-dog Mr. Gibbs. Now--thanks to trainer Ashleigh Kinsley—Alida and Mr. Gibbs love nothing more than playing and running around together with the dog acting as Alida’s life saver.
21. What is Mr. Gibbs?
A. A trained dog. B. A policeman. C. A doctor. D. A firefighter.
22. When did the doctor know Alicia caught the disease?
A. At her birth. B. At the age of eight.
C. Before she was one year old. D. When she was three years old.
23. The underlined part “the couple” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. Alida’s classmates B. Alida’s parents C. Alida’s doctors D. Alida’s pets
24. How did Alicia keep alive?
A. By training her dog. B. By staying with her parents.
C. By playing with her fellows. D. By breathing through a tube.
B
The Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution . He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture.
Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The world’s first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museum’s most popular display was the skeleton (骷髅) of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801.
Three of Peale’s seventeen children were also famous artists. Paphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits.
James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小画像). His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.

A. Charles Willson Peale’s painting was very lifelike
B. Washington respected Charles Willson Peale’s work
C. Washington was friendly with Raphaelle and Titian Peale
D. the painting of the two brothers was very large
