【文章大意】本文是一篇新闻报道。

宠物徒步旅行变得很流行，这对宠物的身形和健

康有好处。

丹佛居民BrittanyRedding创立了TakeaHike公司，专门负责带着宠物狗去

徒步旅行。

4.C推理判断题。

根据第一段中的“Dogslovetogetoutandstretchtheirlegs,whichnotonlyhelpstokeeptheminshape,butenablesthemtokeeptheextrapoundsoff.Pethikinghasbeenpopularrecently,gettingdogsoffthesidewalk.”可知，狗

喜欢到外面伸展腿部，这不仅有助于保持体形，还可以减少多余的体重。

因此带宠物徒步旅行变得很流行的原因在于它对宠物的身形和健康有好处。

故选C。

5.A段落大意题。

根据第二段中的“Threeyearsago,DenverresidentBrittanyReddingwasstressedout,working60hoursaweekwhilestudyingingraduateschoolfull-time.Theonlythingthathelpedwastakingherfourdogshiking.“That’swhenithitmethatIshoulddothatasajob.”sheways.AftergraduatinginJune2016,shefoundedTakeaHike.Hercompany,likeanumberofothersaroundthecountry,takesdogstoexplorebeyondtheneighborhood.”可知，三年前丹佛居民BrittanyRedding在全日制研究生院学习的同时每周还要工作60个小时，这使她感到压

力重重。

只有一件事能够让她感到放松：

带她的四只狗徒步旅行。

就在那时她想到她应该把带狗徒步旅行当作自己的工作。

于是2016年6月毕业后，她创立了TakeaHike公司。

因此第二段主要谈论的是BrittanyRedding创立TakeaHike公司的原因。

故选A。

6.B细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“Beforetakingonthetracks,Brittanymeetswitheachdogandhisorherownertogetasenseofthepet’scharacter.”可知，在开

始徒步旅行之前，Brittany与每只狗及其主人见面以了解宠物的性格。

即Brittany要在带

上顾客的狗去远足之前了解每只狗的性格。

故选B。

7.B细节理解题。

根据最后一段中的“MichaelMizenkothinkssendinghispet,Ajax,onweeklyhikeswithTakeaHikehasmadeAjaxahappierdog.”可知，MichaelMizenko

认为，每周一次的徒步旅行使他的宠物Ajax变得更快乐。

因此MichaelMizenko每周将

宠物送到TakeaHike公司参加一次徒步旅行。

故选B。

C
