问题 Whose dog was Gelert?
  
More than seven hundred years ago, the Prince of Wales had a very big and brave dog, Gelert. One day the Prince wanted to go hunting with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a wooden cradle, which was like a small bed.
    When the Prince came back from hunting, Gelert ran out to meet his master. Then the Prince saw blood on Gelert’s jaws and head.
    "What have you done?" The Prince said. He rushed into his home and looked for his baby son. The cradle was lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them.
    "So you killed my son!" the Prince said angrily. "You unfaithful dog!" He took out his sword and killed the dog.  Just as Gelert was dying, he managed to bark for a moment. Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog.
    The Prince ran out of the house and saw his son lying on the ground unhurt. Near him was a dead wolf. Then the Prince knew that Gelert had defended the baby and killed the wolf.
    The Prince ran back into the house but he was too late. Gelert was dead. The Prince was very sad indeed. Tears ran down his face when he realized he had killed his faithful friend. After this, the Prince never smiled again. Every morning at dawn, he walked up the mountain so that he could stand by the dog’s grave for a few minutes.

选项 A、The baby’s calling to the dog told the prince that it was an unfaithful dog.
B、At last the Prince found his son in the cradle.
C、In fact the dog had killed a wolf which was eating the baby.
D、Ever since he realized what he had done, the Prince never recovered from his sorrow.

答案D

解析 题干问:“下面哪项是正确的?”材料的大致意思是说,王子叫他的狗照看他的儿子,当王子回来发现狗嘴上和头上有血,且他的儿子不见了的时候,以为是狗吃了它的儿子,就把狗杀了,然而他儿子在外面的哭叫声说明他的儿子还活着,是王子错怪了狗,王子因此一直很悲伤。根据上面对文章的分析可知本题的答案D是正确的。
