题目

阅读理解 One night, I received a message from my former classmate, someone I hadn't spoken to in 15 years. "Hey Mary," she said. "I know you've always been an animal lover. I have a mini pig that is not getting along with my dogs. So I can't keep the pig." Of course, the whole situation was strange, but I've always been a trusting person. I replied "Let me do some research and I'll get back to you." I knew nothing about mini pigs. I didn't know what they ate; and I had no idea how big they got. Once I started doing some Internet research, I found a few people claiming that "there's no such thing as a mini pig," but I was blinded by my sudden obsession and my faith in my onetime friend. She had said the pig was six months old and this mini pig would grow to be about 70 pounds, maximum. That was pretty close to the size of Shelly, one of my dogs. So I told my former classmate that I'd take the animal. It's intractable enough bringing a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats, and my husband, Derek. But I knew I wanted the pig and the day finally came. When Derek went back, he stood in the doorway like a statue. Every emotion other than happiness flashed across his face. He was extremely angry. The only positive thing I could say was, "She's a mini pig! She'll stay small!" Surprisingly, soon enough, the lovely pig smoothed things over by itself. Derek started talking about where the pig's liter would go. You don't care about "litter" of someone you're getting rid of. However, a few months later, she'd started closing in on 80 pounds. It was becoming clear that I'd probably adopted a commercial pig and she was going to be enormous. While it might be unexpected, it's more than worth it for the happiness she has added to our world. （1） What does the underlined word "intractable" mean in Paragraph3? A . Easy. B . Interesting. C . Tricky. D . Urgent. （2） Why did Derek ask about the pig's litter? A . He already accepted the pig. B . He disliked everything about the pig. C . He planned to get rid of the pig. D . He wanted his wife to be responsible for it. （3） What do we know about the pig? A . It will maintain its mini size. B . It will grow bigger than a dog. C . In won't grow more than 80 pounds. D . Its minimum weight is about 70 pounds. （4） What can we infer about author's friend? A . She was an animal lover. B . She knew nothing about the pig. C . She cheated the author on purpose. D . She was forced to give up keeping the pig. 答案： C A B C
