第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
I’d like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn’t understand it. I didn’t like him anymore.
I hadn’t thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words. When the door was slammed(砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal.
Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend’s wife had just left him.
We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can’t be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.
If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn’t seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions.
1、What is the influence of the incident mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．It hurt his father’s feeling deeply. B．It has puzzled the author ever since.
C．It left a deep impression on the author. D．It made the author dislike dogs.
2、Why did the author’s friend say harsh words to the author?
A．He was ill-tempered.
B．He was suffering the pain of losing his wife.
C．He was bothered by an unexpected visit.
D．They once quarreled and he couldn’t forgive the author.
3、What’s the author’s advice to us?
A．Help those in need. B．Look before you leap.
C．Respect for others is a kind of virtue. D．Learn to put yourself in others’ shoes.

B
A new restaurant in Indonesia is on a mission (使命) to support locals trapped in poverty, many of whom are earning less than $25 a month, by providing them with an alternative way to pay for their food.
The Methane Gas Canteen, run by husband and wife team Sarimin and Suyatmi, is located in an unexpected place for an eatery — Jatibarang Landfill. The landfill is a mountain of purifying waste, where poor locals spend their days collecting plastic and glass to sell. Meanwhile, the couple, who spent 40 years collecting waste before opening the restaurant, is busy cooking.
What makes the restaurant unusual, aside from its location, is that no cash is required to pay for meals. Poor people have the option to pay for their food with recyclable waste instead of cash. Sarimin weighs the plastic customers bring in, calculates its worth, and then deduct that value from the cost of the meal, giving any extra value back to the customer. The scheme is part of the community’s solution to reduce waste in the landfill and recycle non-degradable plastics.
“I think we recycle 1 tonne of plastic waste a day, which is a lot. This way, the plastic waste doesn’t pile up, drift down the river and cause flooding,” said Saimin. “It benefits everyone.”
The restaurant seats about 30 people and serves meals that cost between $0.40 and $0.80 each. Since opening the canteen Sarimin and Suyatmi have seen their daily income more than double to $15 a day.
“I’m happy to see our customers enjoying their meals,” Sarimin told NHK World. “The poor must also have the right to enjoy healthy eating. I want to give them that chance as much as possible.”
1、What do we know about Jatibarang Landfill?
A．It is a good place for people to eat meals
B．It is a place where locals collect plastic and glass to sell
C．It is a mountain which attracts many tourists
D．It is a modem plastic recycling plant.
2、What makes the Methane Gas Canteen different?
A．Its location and the way to pay for meals.
B．The delicious food and the kind-hearted owner.
C．Its location and those strange customers.
D．Its customers and the way to pay for meal.
3、What does the underlined word mean?
A．Increase B．Replace
C．Remove D．Equal
4、Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Sarimin and Suyatmi recycle plastic waste only to make money.
B．The plastic waste may cause flooding.
C．The restaurant seats around 30 people at present.
D．Sarimin and Suyatmi have seen an increase in their income.
