When elephants retire, many head for the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tenn. They arrive one by one, but they tend to live out their lives two-by-two. “Every elephant that comes here searches out someone that she then spends most all of her time with,” says sanctuary co-founder Carol Buckley. It’s likely having a best girlfriend, Buckley says – “Somebody they can relate to, they have something in common with.”

Debbie has Ronnie. Misty can’t live without Dulary. Those are pachyderm-pachyderm pairs. But perhaps the closest friends of all are Tarra and Bella. Tarra, an 8,700 pound Asian elephant; Bella, a stray dog, are closest friends.

Bella is one of more than a dozen stray dogs that have found a home at the sanctuary. Most want nothing to do with the elephants and vice versa. But not this odd couple. “Bella knows she’s not an elephant. Tarra knows she’s not a dog,” Buckley adds. “But that’s not a problem for them.” “When it’s time to eat they both eat together. They drink together. They sleep together. They play together,” Buckley says.

Tarra and Bella have been close for years — but no one really knew how close they were until recently. A few months ago Bella suffered a spinal cord injury. She couldn’t move her legs, couldn’t even wag her tail. For three weeks the dog lay motionless up in the sanctuary office. And for three weeks the elephant held vigil: 2,700 acres to roam free, and Tarra just stood in the corner, beside a gate, right outside that sanctuary office. “She just stood outside the balcony – just stood there and waited,” says Buckley. “She was concerned about her friend.” Then one day, sanctuary co-founder Scott Blais carried Bella onto the balcony so she and Tarra could at least see each other.

“Bella’s tail started wagging. And we had no choice but to bring Bella down to see Tarra,” Blais says.

They visited like that every day until Bella could walk. Today, their love — and trust — is stronger than ever. Bella even lets Tarra pet her tummy – with the bottom of her enormous foot. They harbor no fears, no secrets, no prejudices. Just two living creatures who somehow managed to look past their immense differences.

Take a good look at this couple, human beings. Take a good look at the world. If they can do it — what’s our excuse?

A. both of the pairs are elephants.

2.The last paragraph infers that _____________.

A. different animals can become closest friends.

2021-2022新课程高三高考版英语周报第14期试题答案

1.D

2.C

3.A

【解析】

试题分析:文章大意:本文主要讲述了在一家大象收容所里,一只大象和一只狗成了亲密无间的好朋友。作者感叹到“动物们都能知道和平相处,何况我们人类呢?”

1.词义猜测题。根据画线部分的前句Debbie has Ronnie. Misty can’t live without Dulary.可知它们彼此是好朋友。根据后句的转折词but提到大象和狗成为好朋友,它们是不同类的,可以推测出Those are pachyderm-pachyderm pairs指的是它们是同类的朋友。故D正确。

2.2】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知,作者在告诫人类:既然不同的动物能成为好朋友,我们人类为什么就不能呢?我们为什么不团结起来帮助我们的地球呢?故C正确。

3.主旨大意题。本文主要描述的是一只大象和一只狗之间的友谊,在我们人类看来是不可能的,但它们确实是最亲密的朋友。故A正确。

A typical day at work for Cesar Millan might include putting on his running shoes and taking a four?hour jog with 40 dogs—large and small, young and old. Amazingly, most of those dogs belong to him. The rest are at the heart of his work; they are troubled dogs sent to Millan to learn good behavior.

Obviously Millan, star of the TV show “Dog Whisperer” and author of the best?selling book Cesar’s Way,has a special gift for working with these animals.

Growing up on a farm in Mexico, Millan knew he wanted to work with dogs. His first job, at age 15,was helping a veterinarian (兽医).He was so good at calming scared dogs and handling all kinds of situations that people started calling him “el perrero”, Spanish for “the dog boy”.Since then, he has built a rewarding career around his favorite animal.

“My grandfather taught me at an early age not to work against nature,”he explains. In nature, dogs_are_pack_animals. They form a group and follow one leader. Millan’s specialty is teaching people to be pack leaders for their dogs.

Studying dogs on the farm where he grew up,Millan realized they need lots of exercise to be calm. He explains his approach,“Exercise and discipline first,and then affection!”He says a lot of people get it backwards because they don’t realize what dogs really need. Therefore, while he trains dogs, he teaches owners to understand that their pets need rules. He’s helped famous people like Oprah Winfrey and movie star Will Smith and everyday people too.

To find the right career, Millan encourages kids to do what they enjoy. “A lot of people don’t realize I’ve been working with dogs for more than 20 years—long before my TV show or book. Success followed me because I was following my dream of being the best dog trainer in the world.”

1.By saying “dogs are pack animals”(in Para.4),the author means that________.

A.dogs like to live with people

B.dogs are easier to be trained

C.few dogs can be leaders

D.dogs live in groups

2.Which of the following would Millan agree with?

A.Dogs are quiet animals.

B.Dogs should be trained on farms.

C.Rules are more important than love in training dogs.

D.Famous people have more problems in training dogs.

3.What does Millan advise children to do when it comes to choosing a job?

A.Do what interests them.

B.Never give up and they will succeed.

C.Share their ideas with many other people.

D.Receive training long before they succeed.
