高考英语二轮复习专题训练：阅读理解（97）阅读理解AGoldie's Secret She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen. I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire. That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could. By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her. ' I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.1. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house? A. Shocked. B. Sympathetic. C. Annoyed. D. Upset.2.

Try to keep a low profile（姿态）in your neighborhood: don’t announce to just about everyone that you are running a home business with thousands of dollars worth of equipment. As much as possible, don’t invite clients（客户）or visitors to your home. In fact I know of some home-based entrepreneurs（企业家）who would rather meet their clients in a neutral（中间的）ground, e.g. the client’s office or even Starbucks. There are other ways to keep burglars away from your house. ●Keep lights on around your house in the evenings. Light is a natural fright for burglars.●Invest in a security alarm, particularly if your house is located in a remote spot. Security systems can often bring down the cost of your homeowner’s insurance premiums（费用）.●Make sure that all windows and doors are locked and the security alarm turned on before you sleep at night or go out of the house. Avoid keeping house keys in obvious places, such as under the lamp or top of the doorframe.●Adding an additional lock will provide extra security when you are home. The dead-lock, sometimes called an “exit-only deadbolt” is an deadbolt that doesn’t have an external（外部的）key. It’s clearly visible on the door from the outside, but can’t be broken into without destroying the door, frame, or lock itself. While the security won’t help directly when you aren’t home, the visibility may discourage an intruder from trying the door.●Your door itself should be made of strong materials, such as one-inch thick solid hardwood or heavy metal.4.
