Suddenly White Fang struck Matt and Matt's leg was bleeding. And he was waiting for his punishment. But the hand on his head didn't hit White Fang. Scott patted him. The dog realized it was the beginning of a new life for him.
However, love did not come in a day. At first White Fang liked his new master, and did things for him, like guarding his property at night. But as the days passed, with petting and caressing(爱抚) and gentle talk, like started to change into love.
In late spring, trouble came without warning. His love-master disappeared. The days passed. White Fang became so sick that Matt took him inside the cabin, where he lay by the stove and did nothing. And then he wrote to his employer. Then one night, the door opened and Scott walked in.
"Where's the wolf?" he asked.
Then he saw White Fang and walked across the room, calling to him. White Fang went to him, quickly. Scott knelt down and petted him. White Fang was so happy that he moved his head between Scott's arm and body, rubbing against him.
The two men looked at each other. Scott's eyes were shining.
One night, the two men were playing cards, when they heard snarling and a scream outside. "The wolf's got somebody," Matt said.
They ran outside. White Fang was attacking a man who was trying to protect his throat, with blood running down both arms. Scott pulled White Fang away, and Matt helped the man to his feet. They saw that it was Beauty Smith. Then they noticed that on the ground there was a large club and a steel chain.
"Tried to steal you, did he?" said Scott to White Fang, patting his head. "And you didn't want to go! Well, he made a mistake, didn't he?"

B [文章大意]本文是一篇记叙文,节选自小说《白牙》。文章讲述了狼狗白牙被新主人斯科特善待后,从戒备主人逐渐转变为深爱主人,甚至主人消失后白牙因思念主人病重,展现人与动物深厚羁绊的故事。
54.D [解析]句意理解题。根据前文“However, love did not come in a day. At first White Fang liked his new master, and did things for him ... But as the days passed, with petting and caressing(爱抚) and gentle talk, like started to change into love. ”可知,白牙最初只是喜欢主人,为他做事,后来在主人的陪伴与关爱下,这种喜欢逐渐转变成了爱,说明它对主人展现出了比以往更多的爱意。故选D。
55.C [解析]细节理解题。根据文中“His love-master disappeared. The days passed. White Fang became so sick that Matt took him inside the cabin, where he lay by the stove and did nothing. ”和“That wolf doesn’t work and doesn’t eat. He has no energy in him. He wants to know where you are, and I don’t know how to tell him. Perhaps he’s going to die. ”可知,白牙因为思念离开的主人斯科特而生病,身体状况极差,几乎死去。故选C。
56.B [解析]事件排序题。根据文章叙事顺序可知:白牙先为新主人做事(a)→主人离开后白牙生病,马特写信给斯科特(c)→斯科特回来让白牙感到兴奋(d)→最后白牙攻击了史密斯(b)。因此正确顺序为acdb。故选B。
57.D [解析]推理判断题。根据文中“‘Tried to steal you, did he?’ said Scott to White Fang, patting his head. ‘And you didn’t want to go! Well, he made a mistake, didn’t he?’”可知,斯科特知道史密斯试图偷走白牙后,对白牙的自我保护行为表示认可,由此可推断他会惩罚史密斯,比如殴打他。故选D。
