B.Itiscommonsensethatisthemostimportantwhenchoosingadog.
C.Youshoulddecidewhatkindofdogyouwant.
D.Sizeandcharacteristicsofthedogsshouldbeconsideredtoo.
答案:
B细节题。
文章中提到了买狗的时候先要决定买什么样的,狗的大小、特征也要考虑,而且专家的建议也非常重要,所以A,C,D都是正确的。
关于“commonsense”,是这样说的:
“Inpartthedecisiondependsoncommonsense.”所以选择狗的时候,commonsense并不是最重要的,而是部分因素。
因此只有B不符合原文。
12.Whatismentionedasaconsiderationinbuyingadog?
A.Thecolorofthedog.
B.Thepriceofthedog.
C.Whetherthedogwillfittheenvironment.
D.Whetherthedogwillgetalongwiththeotherpetsinthehouse.
答案:
C细节题。
根据文章的内容,买狗的时候并没有提到要考虑狗的颜色、狗的价格,以及狗能否和家中的其他宠物很好的相处。
但是提到了要考虑狗能否适应周围的环境。
“whetherthedogislikelytobehappyinthesurroundingsyoucanprovide.”
13.Whydoesthewritersayadogisamoredemandingpetthanacat?
A.Itmustbetrainedsothatitwon’tbite.
B.Itdemandsmorefoodandspace.
C.Itneedsmoreloveandcare.
D.Itmustbelookedaftercarefully.
答案:
C细节题。
demanding:
要求高的,费力的。
作者认为狗是比猫费心的宠物,因为猫喜欢我们的房子,只要住的地方安全,它就会非常的满足。
而狗则不同,你必需在它很小的时候花很多的精力去训练它,如果你不住在农村,没有机会让狗自由活动的话,你还必须给它这样的机会。
而且你最好在三个月以前就买回来,这样有利于和主人培养感情。
可见狗是多么的费心。
14.Whyisitadvisedtobuyababydogunderthreemonthsold?
A.It’seasiertobuyababydogunderthreemonthsold.
B.Theyarelesslikelytobeshywithhumanbeings.

答案:

文章的最后:
“Ifbabydogshavenotestablishedarelationshipwiththehumanbeinguntiltheyareoverthreemonthold,theirstrongrelationshipwillalwaysbewithdogs.”所以要买三个月以下的狗,容易和它的主人建立感情。

喜爱,慈爱。
