13、human, please！”After all, human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon (优惠券) for items you are buying but you didnt realize were on sale. Even more than that, real life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children, which can brighten a young mothers day. A cashier may also show

59、r years you spend in high school is to learn things for the sake of learning, not just to get a good grade.”可知，作者认为高中学习的目的应该是为获得知识而学习而非考高分，故C正确。15选D本文主要讲述作者回忆自己高中生活的一些经历和感悟，希望和读者分享，故D符合题意。1620GFCEA语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了主人通过网络找到遗失的宠物狗，及时救了它的性命，使其免于被屠宰。体现了宠物和主人之间真挚的情感。21选A根据第一句话中的“During Hurricane Sandy la

60、st year . were flooded, and two cars, years of paperwork, and photos”可知破坏性很大。destroy“破坏”；injure“损伤；伤害”；hurt“使受伤；使疼痛”；expose“使曝光”。22选C由句首“still”可知，上文说到东西被毁了，而此处与之相反的，这些(东西和人)还安全，因此选safe。23选B语境：六个月前发现一个六个月大的小狗崽被绑在电话杆上，就把它带回了家。因为上文提到Buster是收留的。故选B。24选D语境：小狗崽是被绑在电话杆上的。tie . to .“把绑在上”，符合语境。25选A根据上文可知此处是

61、一种表示转折的含义：小狗被领回家，但是一个月后走失了。因此选however。however“然而”；but“但是”；therefore“因此”；nevertheless“然而；不过”。26选C从下文的“I was extremely sad”可知“小狗跑掉了”。run off“逃跑”，符合语境。27选B语境：到处找都没有找到，所以寻找是徒劳的。in place“适当的”；in vain“徒劳的”；by design“故意地”；by chance“偶然的”。28选D根据句中的“ODonovan got a text from a friend”可知是得到的消息告诉她。故用telling。29选C

62、根据文章可知网站上登出了一些动物的照片，这些动物要第二天被屠宰。因此选animals。30选Dsure enough“果真；果然”，表示不出所料里面有那只小狗Buster。31选B根据句意，此处是预计8个小时以后，小狗就要被屠宰。因此选择hours。32选A根据句中的“The shelter was closed for the night”可知“直到第二天的上午8点才对公众开放”。be open to“向开放”，符合语境。33选C为了解救Buster必须在他们杀它之前想办法。所以用before。34选B该句话意思为“她开车带着孩子去动物收容所。”因此选shelter。35选A听说小狗还在那里

63、，我如释重负。lift .off表示“将移去；抬起”。put on“穿上；上演”；go away“走开；离开”；come to“总计”。36选C从下文的she told the assistant, “ _37_ me to the back where he is .”可知她这样做是为了证明她是小狗的主人。prove“证明”，符合语境。37选B句意：带我去后面看看，那是我的小狗。take“带走”，符合语境。38选D从下文的“he went wild, barking, jumping and licking”可知是见到了自己的主人。owner“主人”，符合语境。39选B前一句话中提到“小狗见
