The answer came during a trip to a park in her New York City neighborhood two years ago，where she met volunteers from Mighty Mutts，a local nokill animal rescue organization.“I thought maybe I could earn some money and give it to them，” she says.‎ Since Katharine had plenty of practice taking care of her own dog，she decided to start a summer dogwalking service.She chose two friends and，with their parents' permission，the group put up homemade posters with their phone numbers and a bargain price—50 cents an hour.Before long they had 15 dogs in their care.“We ‎ walked two or three at a time with one mother helping out，” she says.“By the end of that summer，we'd collected $45.” That fall Katharine and her mother，Loma，came up with another mini enterprise to raise money for Mighty Mutts—selling freshbaked shortbread to their neighbors.‎ The 11yearold，who starts sixth grade this fall，has become a nonstop campaigner.Her mother says，“When she sees somebody with a dog，she starts a conversation and tells them to donate to Mighty Mutts.”‎ Katharine's passion comes from the heart.“It makes me cry to think that strays might be_put_to_sleep when there's a group that can find new homes for them，” Katharine says.“But it makes me smile to know I can help.”‎ Notes：‎ ‎①stray adj.流浪的　②shortbread n．黄油甜酥饼 ‎【语篇解读】 本文主要讲了11岁女孩Katharine是如何关爱和帮助流浪狗等小动物的。‎ ‎1．Katharine's love of dogs comes from ________.‎ A．her grandmother's influence B．her mother's influence C．the influence of an organization D．seeing a dog killed by a car 答案　A　[细节理解题。由第二段可知，Katharine关心流浪狗是受奶奶的影响。]‎ ‎2．How did Katharine help the organization—Mighty Mutts?‎ A．By walking stray dogs.‎ B．By giving shortbread to stray dogs.‎ C．By collecting money.‎ D．By making speeches everywhere.‎ 答案　C　[‎ 推理判断题。由第三、四段可知，Katharine为别人遛狗挣钱，然后捐给Mighty Mutts，并且经常劝说养狗的人为Mighty Mutts捐款，故选C。]‎ ‎3．The underlined part “be put to sleep” in the last paragraph means “________”．‎ A．to be supplied with a comfortable place for sleeping B．to be given drugs so that they can die without pain C．to be made unconscious before a medical operation D．to be made to sleep 答案　B　[词义猜测题。Katharine很有爱心，非常关心无家可归的小动物，所以她一想到流浪的小动物被人们用药物所谓“仁道地”杀死，她就会心痛地流泪。put to sleep意为“用药物使(长眠)，无痛苦地杀死”。]‎ ‎4．What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Katharine and her pets B．An organization for rescuing stray dogs C．Pet dogs are popular with children D．A little girl helps strays 答案　D　[主旨大意题。全文主要讲述了小女孩Katharine帮助、关爱流浪狗，故正确答案为D。][来源:学§科§网Z§X§X§K]‎ ‎*************************************************结束
