Question

When it comes to friends, people always know this old saying——A friend in need is a friend indeed. The best friend a man has in the world may     him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has       with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good reputation, may         our faith. A man may        the money he has. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are ready to fall on their knees to do us         when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of hatred when         settles its cloud upon our heads. The one         unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never         him, the one that never proves          or distrusted, is his dog.

A man’s dog stands by him in richness and in        , in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the cold wind blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his         side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to         ; he will lick the wounds and sores that come from encounter with the roughness of the world. He will guard the sleep of his master         he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he        . When wealth and reputation fall to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journeys through the heavens.

If fortune drives the master forth, a deserted person in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of         him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his         . And when the last         of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is         in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends         their ways, there by the grave will the          dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.

試題分析：本文講述了作者對人生的感悟，朋友會背棄自己，兒女會忘記養育之恩，只有人類忠實的朋友——狗，會時時刻刻陪在你身邊，無論你富有還是貧困，健康還是疾病，即使是死亡也會守在墓旁。

1.考查詞組。turn to變成；submit to向...提出；turn against背叛；look up仰望。根據后面“變成他的敵人”可知此處是“背叛”。故選C。
