2019-2020 学年广东省揭阳市普宁市高二（上）期末英语 试卷 一、阅读理解（本大题共 10 小题，共 25.0 分） A I used to be crazy about the hunting season ． The excitement of waiting for a prey （猎物） and the pride of showing off the kill fascinated me ． However ， everything changed after that cold morning ． Early on that day of the late fall ， I set off alone for the woods ， packing a gun ， a bottle of hot coffee and three thick sandwiches ． After finding the fresh deer's tracks in the snow ， I settled down behind a little bush ． I sat there for about an hour． It was then that I saw him． A deer ， a big beautiful deer! There was no cover nearer to him than 30 yards ． Surely I couldn't miss! I waited for him to realize I was there ． I waited for him to be shocked and run away． But he fooled me completely ． He came towards me! He was curious ， I suppose， or maybe lie was stupid — how else can you explain it ？ Well ， that deer walked right up to where I was sitting ． Then he stopped and looked at me! What happened next is hard to believe ， but it's true ． And it all seemed quite natural ． Just as when a friendly young deer comes near you， I reached up and scratched his head． And he liked to be scratched ． In fact ， he practically asked for more ．Then ， I fed him my sandwich! Yes ， I know what a deer eats， but that deer ate my sandwich． Well ， he finally went his way ， down the hill and up the deer trail ． Shoot him ？ Not me ． You wouldn't have either ， not after that ． I just watched him go ． When I was about half way back ， I heard two shots， followed by a dull slam （撞击）a few seconds later． Those two shots usually mean a kill ． I had forgotten there were other hunters that day ． Those hunters would never know they could have scratched his head ． 1. Why didn't the author kill the deer ？ ______ A. He preferred to shoot a shy deer ． B
