内容概要：本文描述的是Rex，一个头脑简单、力大无比的小狗。它爱好游泳，爱做一些无意义的事来表现它的力气。
小题1:根据第2空后的in the water可以排除另三个选项。
小题2:因为十分喜欢游泳，所以有乐趣。
小题3:根据后面的to go in 这一带to的不定或短语可以排除另三个选项。
小题4:did用以加强语气，正好回应前一句。
小题5:remind sb of sth意为“使人想起”。
小题6:when引起定语从句修饰that night。
小题7:“没人知道，他从多远的地方弄来箱子”。此句用来补充说明somewhere，由have a race也可推测此处指距离。
小题8:could easily强调是狗本身的一种属性，一种能力。因为Rex是条狗，善于奔跑，且有股蛮劲，所以这件事对它来说“可能”很容易。
小题9:主人最终还是将其扔掉了，可见其“无价值”。
小题10:从后面主人又将其扔掉来看，这只破箱子是被人“遗弃的”，没用的箱子。
小题11:前后是因果关系。
小题12:下面一句有it sounded，所以用heard。
小题13:后面描述的动作与实际情况完全相反，故选as if，表达一种虚拟语气。
小题14:tear the house down意为“拆房子”。
小题15:狗就在门厅，所以打开那儿的灯。
小题16:catch意为“被钩住”，这是狗拖不动箱子的主要原因。
小题17:由于主人知道狗的蛮劲，故推测如果没人帮它，它会拨弄箱子“一直到”天亮，即到主人起身发现这一切时。
小题18:箱子如果扔“近”一些，Rex又会捡回来的。
小题19:after all（毕竟），表达一种让步的口吻。
小题20:从狗喜欢表现自己拖动重物的本领来分析，它对自己这方面的能力是引以为“自豪的”。
