【解析】短文屬于記敘文。作者講述小狗在雪天用自己貯存的蘋果招待沒有食物的小鳥，表現(xiàn)了小狗對朋友的無私的“愛”。

1.根據(jù)前一句“was covered in white”，可知遭受了暴風(fēng)雪。

2.根據(jù)上句中的“apple trees”和下句的“dirty apple”可知小狗喜歡蘋果。

3.根據(jù)后面的“so she tries to hide it from me”可猜測“我”不高興她把臟蘋果帶到房子里，因此小狗才會(huì)“藏蘋果”。

4.第一段已經(jīng)指出是暴風(fēng)雪，而且是秋天，因此可排除A、B、C三項(xiàng)；對于這個(gè)季節(jié)來說，雪下得早，因此最佳選項(xiàng)是D。

5.小狗在房子外面，我在房子里面“觀看”她。

6.因?yàn)樘O果在雪里面埋著，所以需要“挖”出來。

7.根據(jù)小狗的一舉一動(dòng)，可知她在努力挖出更多的蘋果。此處使用be determined to do sth“決心做某事”比較合適。

8.be covered with“被……覆蓋”。

9.prepare for…“準(zhǔn)備……”

10.這個(gè)“愛”是來自小狗的，因此用animal。
