(2025·泰安期末)Alone in a town in England, Genevieve Moss had serious hearing loss. Her world had always been quiet.
Then one day in April 2021, a photo of a tiny black-and-white cat caught the 64-year-old lady’s eye as she read the local newspaper. A family was looking for a home for the kitten(小猫). Genevieve fell in love with him at once and phoned the family. Soon, the cat came to her and Genevieve called him Zebby.
However, . When the phone was ringing or someone was knocking at the door, the cat would keep walking up and down in front of Genevieve until she got the message. At night, Zebby slept next to her. If there was an unusual noise outside, he would jump up and tap the owner on her head to let her know this.
The cat soon took on another job: collecting Genevieve’s mail. Whenever he heard the mailbox being opened, he would run over, carry the mail in his mouth and drop it at the lady’s feet. Zebby would even bring Genevieve her slippers(拖鞋)!
Later, Zebby was named Britain’s National Cat of the Year by Cats Protection. According to the largest cat charity, Zebby stood out from about 3,000 other cats because of his great service. The cat had no training at all, but his talents seemed to have told him that his owner needed his help.
“Living on my own and being deaf mean life could be hard, but not with Zebby around.” Genevieve said.

阅读理解
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了听力受损的Genevieve Moss收养了一只小猫Zebby，没想到它成了她的“耳朵”，帮助她应对生活中的各种声音，甚至为她取邮件、递拖鞋。Zebby因其出色的服务被评为英国年度国家猫，展现了动物与人类之间深厚的情感纽带。
1. C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Genevieve fell in love with him at once and phoned the family. Soon, the cat came to her and Genevieve called him Zebby.”可知，她收养Zebby是因为对小猫一见钟情。故选C。
2. A 补全文章题。根据However可知，此处表示转折，结合后文“When the phone was ringing or someone was knocking at the door, the cat would keep walking up and down in front of Genevieve until she got the message. At night, Zebby slept next to her. If there was an unusual noise outside, he would jump up and tap the owner on her head to let her know this.”可知，Zebby帮助Genevieve感知电话、敲门声和异常噪音，说明Genevieve领养时未预料到Zebby会成为她的“耳朵”，A项“她没想到Zebby会成为她的‘耳朵’”。故选A。
3. D 细节理解题。根据第四段中“he would run over, carry the mail in his mouth and drop it at the lady's feet”可知，Zebby会取邮件并送到她脚边。故选D。
4. B 标题归纳题。全文围绕Zebby如何帮助听力障碍的主人展开，B项“失聪主人的听力猫”最适合作文章标题。故选B。
