第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给出的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Surrounded by rolling green hills decorated with horses and cows, the town of Waimea on Hawaii’s Big Island is a peaceful and friendly place. One afternoon, while staying with friends at their house there, my husband and I decided to go for a walk along the many, mostly traffic-free, country lanes in the area.

We met a beautiful Golden Retriever. He seemed very friendly so we stopped to play with him, throwing a stick which he retrieved(取回)several times happily. When we continued our walk, he followed us, and although I worried that he might be going too far from his home, I couldn’t deny that we were enjoying his company.

After about twenty minutes, we found ourselves walking along a dirt road in an unfamiliar area. One house, almost hidden by the shrubbery(灌木丛)and shaded by tall trees, seemed somehow strange. I felt an urge to be as far away from that place as possible.

Just then, the door to the house opened and five dogs rushed out, barking and howling as they ran toward us. I felt terrified and couldn’t move. There was nowhere to hide and no time to run.

All of a sudden, our new friend appeared between the dogs and us. He faced them－all five of them－howling and baring his teeth. I was amazed to see the attacking dogs stop in their tracks ten feet away from him. Our protector held them there while we escaped. At a safe distance, we looked back and saw the five dogs heading back toward their house.

But the Golden Retriever was nowhere in sight.

I felt an ache in my heart; I missed our friend already. Instinctively（本能地）, I knew he was not hurt.

With a feeling of emptiness, we made our way back to the house, hoping the whole way that we would see him again. But it was not to be.

When I told our friend about the encounter（邂逅）, her eyes flew wide open as she shouted,“It was an angel!”
