14、s later.” 可知,Bugsy是在Yew自己公寓为它建的ICU里治愈的,因此B选项错误。由第二段提到的 “the eight-year-old pup”和第四段中的 “Two days after Yew,adopted the 12-week-old puppy” 可知,他们在一起有几乎八年了,故C选项错误。4.

A policeman who stood before a drug store two doors away laughed and walked down the street” 逮捕似乎只是个美好的梦想,Island似乎非常遥远,站

He intended to play a joke with the policeman D. He was watching the policeman chasing the man who ran to catch a car答案
