【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，并將答案寫在試卷的答題卷上。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Americans use many expressions with the word “dog”. People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well. 【1】 However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life. The expression, to lead a dog's life, describes a person who has an unhappy existence.

Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 【2】 They say that to be successful, a person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.

【3】 This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.

【4】 People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want. Mean dogs are often used to guard this property. They bark or attack people who try to enter the property. However, sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad. We say his bark is worse than his bite.

Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. 【5】 .

A. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.

【解析】

試題分析：文章介紹了美國人使用許多帶有“dog”的表達方式。

【1】G 考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。上一句講述美國人很愛他們的狗，而且對待狗也很好，可知后邊會經(jīng)常遛狗，帶狗出去玩兒，為狗提供良好的食物和醫(yī)療護理。故選G。

【2】C考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。這一段講述了如果要成功，就必須像狗一樣地工作。這意味著他們必須工作非常非常努力�？芍�人們必須努力去競爭得到同樣的東西，比如好的工作。故選C。

【3】B考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。后一句講述了人們在一生中總會有成功的那一天。可知前一句說了每個狗都有屬于自己的一天。故選B。

【4】F考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。這一段講述了不和善，沒心沒肺的人會被描述為比垃圾狗還冷漠的人。說明在一些不好的方面人還別比作狗。故選F。

【5】A考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)前一句暴風雨會使得天氣變涼爽，但是我們不想雨下得太大。故選A。
