After about five minutes they came to the sign to Holt Farm. Dan stopped. The farmhouse was down a farm road and behind some trees.
Dan put his bike behind a hedge—he didn't want anyone to see it. Then he started walking down the road.
Dylan walked along behind him. Quickly they came to the trees. Dan moved
carefully through the trees. He didn't want the thieves to see him.
He got near to the house.
He could see the white van by the side of the house. He could hear dogs barking but he couldn't see them.
Slowly and carefully he moved round the house. Dylan followed him.
At the back of the house he found the dogs. There were ten of them altogether. The dogs were all in a small area with a fence around it. Some of the dogs were standing up barking, a couple were playing and the others were lying down.
There was a gate in the fence with a lock on it.
Dan looked across at the van.
"It's probably best to get my phone back and call the police," he thought. "Stay!" he told Dylan quietly.
Then he quickly ran over to the van. The back door didn't open. He tried the driver's door. That didn't open.
Dan sat down behind the van and thought. The thieves probably had the keys in the house. He could cycle back to the village and call the police. Or he could open the gate and let the dogs out first, and then cycle back to the village. That was a better idea.

本文介绍了Dan和Dylan一起去找失踪的狗的过程。
1. C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He didn't want the thieves to see him. ”可知，Dan 小心地通过树丛，是因为他不希望偷狗贼们发现他。
2. A 词义猜测题。句意：一些狗站着叫着，几个在玩耍，其余的躺着。结合前文“There were ten of them altogether. ”可知，房屋后面有十条狗，数量不是太多。所以此处a couple意为“几个”，其意思跟a few相近。
3. C 信息排序题。通读故事内容可知，正确的顺序为：Dan和Dylan来到霍尔特农场→Dan把自行车藏在树篱后→Dan走到农舍旁边→Dan看到一辆白色厢式货车→Dan看到狗狗们在叫，玩耍和躺着→Dan在厢式货车后思考。
4. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dan sat down behind the van and thought ... That was a better idea. ”可知，Dan坐在厢式货车后认真地想办法去救那些狗。
