Question

【題目】 In Canada you can find dogs, cats, birds, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections so that they won’t carry disease. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every store. Some people spend about two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s homes, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animals in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals.

People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be：Their family tie is not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life.

【1】

細節(jié)理解題。審題得知他們在養(yǎng)寵物狗之前先帶他們打預防針是因為。直接定位于此：Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections so that they won’t carry disease. 這里so that引導的從句表示以便他們不會攜帶病毒。與C選項切合。故選C。

【2】

猜測詞義題。這是猜測詞組的含義題。定位于文章中相應的地方：If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it. 這里看發(fā)生這一動作后人們的反應是people would be very sad about it.人們會很傷心。如果不是被車撞傷，怎么會至此？故A選項切合文意。故選A。

【3】

細節(jié)理解題。這里可直接定位與此：When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.當孩子們長大，他們離開父母開始他們自己的新生活。然后老人們感覺孤獨，但是寵物就不會，它們能解決這個問題，它們會成為人們的好朋友，永遠不會離開他們。這說明狗是忠實的朋友，而小孩是會長大且獨立生活的。換句話說他們不再依賴父母，離開父母單獨生活。故B選項切合文意，故選B。
