(C)
Buck had never experienced such freezing cold before. When he first arrived in Alaska, the icy wind made him shake all over. The snow broke under his paws like broken glass, a sound he’d never heard in California. Back in sunny California, the coldest days were just rainy, but here, everything was covered in thick, hard snow that never seemed to melt (融化).
The first night was especially difficult. Buck watched curiously as the other sled dogs (雪橇犬) skillfully dug holes in the snow to make warm beds. He tried to copy them, but his hole kept falling apart. Feeling frozen, he stood outside shaking until Francois, one of the sled drivers, noticed his problem. “Here, let me show you,” Francois said kindly, showing how to properly shape the snow into a comfortable bed. After several tries, Buck finally made his first successful snow nest and slept comfortably through the night.
Mealtime brought another challenge. When the men threw frozen fish to the dogs, Buck ate slowly and politely as he used to. But the other dogs barked loudly, showing him this was no longer a gentle world. Before he could finish, a bigger dog named Spitz pushed him away and stole his food. That night, Buck went to bed hungry, learning an important lesson. The next day, he started eating quickly and shouting angrily at any dog that came near.
As weeks passed, Buck’s body got used to the terrible environment. The icy wind bit at his fur, but Buck no longer shook in fear. His once - soft paws grew hard and no longer hurt on the ice. His muscles became stronger from pulling the heavy sled daily. More importantly, his mind changed—he learned to read the other dogs’ behaviours and the men’s orders. The spoiled (娇惯的) house pet from California was gone, replaced by a stronger, wiser survivor who understood the most important rule in the north: Learn to play the game, or you won’t survive.
( ) 7. What prevented Buck from finishing his meal in the beginning?
A. Spitz taking his food away.
B. The fish being too hard to eat.
C. Francois ordering him to stop.
D. His saving food for later.
() 8. What did the writer probably mean by saying the underlined sentence?
A. Follow every human order strictly.
B. Learn survival rules to stay alive.
C. Fight other dogs to protect food.
D. Build perfect snow nests for safety.
() 9. Which picture shows the change of Buck’s personality?

() 9. Which picture shows the change of Buck’s personality?
答案：7.A 8.B 9.D
解析：
7. 根据第三段“Before he could finish, a bigger dog named Spitz pushed him away and stole his food.”可知，Spitz抢走了食物，阻止Buck吃完饭。
8. 划线句“Learn to play the game, or you won’t survive”结合Buck适应北极环境、学会生存技能的经历，意为“学习生存规则以活下去”。
9. Buck从娇惯的宠物（soft）逐渐变得强壮、聪明（strong），性格呈上升趋势，对应图D。

巴克以前从未经历过如此严寒的天气。当他第一次来到阿拉斯加时，冰冷的风使他浑身发抖。雪在他的爪子下碎裂，就像碎玻璃一样，这是他在加利福尼亚从未听到过的声音。回到阳光明媚的加利福尼亚，最冷的日子也只是下雨，但在这里，一切都被厚厚的、坚硬的雪覆盖着，这些雪似乎永远不会融化。
第一个晚上尤其艰难。巴克好奇地看着其他雪橇犬熟练地在雪地里挖洞，以打造温暖的“床铺”。他试图模仿它们，但他挖的洞总是坍塌。他冻得瑟瑟发抖，站在外面，直到其中一个雪橇驾驶员弗朗索瓦注意到他的问题。“来，我来教你。”弗朗索瓦亲切地说，并演示了如何恰当地把雪堆成一张舒适的“床”。经过几次尝试，巴克终于成功地打造了他的第一个雪窝，并且舒舒服服地睡了一整夜。
用餐时间带来了另一个挑战。当人们把冻鱼扔给狗时，巴克像往常一样慢慢地、有礼貌地吃着。但其他的狗大声吠叫，向他表明这不再是一个温和的世界。他还没吃完，一只名叫斯皮茨的大狗就把他推开，抢走了他的食物。那天晚上，巴克饿着肚子上床睡觉，学到了重要的一课。第二天，他开始吃得很快，并且对任何靠近的狗都愤怒地吼叫。
几周过去了，巴克的身体习惯了这恶劣的环境。冰冷的风刺痛他的皮毛，但巴克不再害怕得发抖。他曾经柔软的爪子变得坚硬，在冰上行走也不再疼痛。由于每天拉沉重的雪橇，他的肌肉变得更强壮了。更重要的是，他的思想发生了变化——他学会了读懂其他狗的行为和人们的命令。那个来自加利福尼亚的被娇惯的家庭宠物消失了，取而代之的是一个更强壮、更聪明的幸存者，他明白了北方最重要的规则：学会玩这个“游戏”，否则你就无法生存。
7. 一开始是什么阻止了巴克吃完饭？
A. 斯皮茨把他的食物拿走了。
B. 鱼太硬了，吃不了。
C. 弗朗索瓦命令他停下来。
D. 他把食物留到以后吃。
8. 作者说划线句子可能是什么意思？
A. 严格遵守每个人的命令。
B. 学习生存规则以活下去。
C. 和其他狗打架以保护食物。
D. 为了安全打造完美的雪窝。
9. 哪张图片显示了巴克性格的变化？
