　　江苏省2014届高三英语（牛津版）一轮复习攻略训练：阅读理解（17）

　　请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　I stole your dog today. No, I didn't set a foot on your house, but from the condition of your dog, I can imagine what it looks like... The word" rubbish" comes to mind.

　　I found her along a road, with a heavy chain wrapped around her neck, still attached to rotten boards from her doghouse. Not only did I know that most of the town people had already ignored her, judging by the place where I found her, but I knew that if she had gotten into the woods, the "cross" that she dragged(拖) behind her would have wrapped itself around a tree until starvation or thirst killed her.

　　She has a beautiful name now. Already in the first week she has come to look more like she should. Her eyes sparkle and she has learned to wag（摇）her tail in greeting. She has stopped flinching( 畏缩 )when I make a sudden movement, because she knows now that I won' t beat her. In fact, she rarely leaves my side. She's even become brave enough to bark at a cat and today I looked out of the window as she attempted to play with other dogs. No, it’s clear that she does not miss you or her former life on a chain.

　　It' s not clear yet whether she'll remain here or whether I'll find her a loving home where she can count on more individual attention than I can give her, but one thing is certain, this is a bit of stolen" property" which is never returning to you. So sue（起诉）me, accuse me, plead with the court that she is rightfully yours... I' m convinced that this is the best" crime" I've ever committed. Hardly anything has pleased me more than the day when I stole your dog. I need only look into her beautiful brown eyes to know that she'd defend my decision with her life. If we have one prayer, it is that you will not replace her, and if we have one special day to celebrate together, it is the day I stole your dog and the day she stole my heart.
