解析：

记叙文

24.B.细节题。

从第一段”Daryl'sdeliverytruck”可知他去洛杉矶是去运送货物的，所以选B。

25.A.细节题。

定位到第四段第二句”HehadtomakeittoLosAngelesbymidnightanddidn’thavetimetobeahero.”因为送货不能迟到所以没时间，所以选A。

26.D.细节题。

定位到第六段最后一句，heknewhisbosswouldn’tbe后面省略了happy。

所以是担心老板生气，选择D。

27.C.推断题。

因为上一段听到的消息，他感到极度惊骇，“如坠冰窟”，所以选C。

C

答案解析：

28.D.定位第一自然段“Thereareafewhardfactsthatallagreeon.Theseincludethatdogswereoncewolvesandtheywerethefirstanimaltobedomesticated（驯养）byhumans”可知选项D正确。

29.C.通过题目中出现的“30,000-year-oldanimalsskulls”定位到第二自然段“However,30,000-year-oldskullshavebeendiscoveredinFranceandBelgiumthatarenotpurewolfandsomescientiststhinkcouldbedogs.”可知狗出现的时间最早可追溯到30,000年前，而不是14,000之前。

30.A.通过题目中关键词Alaska定位文中第三自然段最后一句话“anotherDNAstudyhasalreadyshownthatancientdogspreservedintheAlaskanice-fieldsevolvedfromAsianwolves”可知是用DNA检测的

31.A.由最后一段“Themostrecenttheoryisthatdogsdomesticatedthemselves,initiallylivinginandaroundourancientvillagestoeatanyfoodthrownout”可知狗的自我驯养是因为被村民扔出的食物所吸引。

D
