Question

Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.

Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.

If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.

【解析】

試題分析: 人類怕冷，寵物也一樣。許多人認(rèn)為寵物會適應(yīng)室外生活，其實不然。當(dāng)寵物必須要留在室外的時候，人們要注意給寵物保暖和飲水問題。

1.1】D。推理判斷題。通讀第一段，根據(jù)Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people.可知，寵物和人一樣都害怕寒冷。所以寵物也需要一個暖和的環(huán)境。故選D。

2.2】A。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too.可知，當(dāng)人們自己感到寒冷要去室內(nèi)的時候，這時也應(yīng)該將寵物帶到室內(nèi)了。故選A。

3.3】B。目的意圖題。通讀文章可知，文章主要關(guān)于給寵物保暖給出建議。故選B。
