For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holden if he would like his dog back.

　　A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.

　　The dog had initially been knocked unconscious (失去知觉的) but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry，” Steve Tregear said. “It was a very lucky dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water，” he added.

　　It was, as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle (奇迹)”．

　　语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了一只名叫Judy的狗，在追赶绵羊时掉落悬崖，掉进大海并遭遇飓风，但是它在恶劣的环境下顽强地生存下来的故事。

　　1．The dog Judy fell down the cliff when she was ________.

　　A. rescuing her owner

　　B. caught in a hurricane

　　C. blocked by a rock

　　D. running after a sheep

　　答案与解析　D　考查细节理解。根据文章中的“The four­year­old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields...”可知答案为D。
