.A.timeB.effectivenessC.importanceD.complexity阅读技巧：夹叙夹议，叙为议服务，议为叙指导。把握了这句话就把握了阅读此类文章的真谛。叙述不分重点关注人物，情节的变化；议论一定看清楚作者想表明的道理。 答题技巧：本篇题目由3个细节题和一道文章结构题组成，难度都不大。细节题要求学生把握文章中的原文，做合理推断和转述。比如57题，将unsettled理解成worried。文章结构题基本属于送分题，要求学生作答，此篇记叙文按照时间顺序发展。 56.B 情绪推断，较难题。此推断题的难点在于，原文没有直接的形容词表述，要求学生通过具体的描述总结。原文第2段Shehardlyateanythingandhadsuchanairofsadnessabouther.TherewasnothingIcoulddotomakeherhappy,itseemed.Heavenknowswhathadhappenedtoheratherpreviousowner's.划线句子表明作者同情被遗弃的小狗，希望帮助它高兴起来。 57.A 细节题，较难题。要做对此题主要要排除C项的干扰，原文第2段Shehardlyateanythingandhadsuchanairofsadnessabouther.hardlyateanything的表述与atelittle是不一样的。前者是几乎什么都不吃，后者是吃得少，此错误选项属于"改变否定/肯定的程度"。 58.D 原因推断题，简单题，通过原文第4段的描写可得正确答案。 59.A 问文章的行文结构，简单题，此篇记叙文按照时间顺序发展。5
