湖南省青竹湖湘一外国语学校2023-2024学年九年级下学期第一次月考英语试题
Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California. Gold-diggers had found gold in north-west Canada, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work for them in the cold and snow of the north.
Buck had lived in Mr. Miller's house for four years since he was born. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many other dogs, but they lived together in the kennels(狗舍), or inside the house. But Buck was neither a house dog nor a kennel dog. He was king — king over the whole of Mr. Miller's lands. He went swimming with Mr. Miller's sons, and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr. Miller's feet in front of the fire in winter.
This was 1897 when the discovery of gold brought men from everywhere to north-west Canada for gold-hunting(淘金). But Buck did not read the newspapers. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr. Miller's farmers, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr. Miller was away on business. Manuel and Buck left the garden together. It was just an evening walk, Buck thought. No one saw them go, and only a strange man saw them arrive at the railway station. This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck's neck.
Buck growled(低吼). Gradually it was hard for him to breathe when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. He jumped at the man in anger. The man caught Buck and forced him to lie on his back. For a few moments he was unable to move. When the train arrived, the two men threw him into the train.
