試題分析：文章大意：人有形形色色，動物也一樣。那動物與人之間有什么共同點嗎？讀了這篇文章看看你是什么類型的動物。

1.B 推斷題。根據(jù)Sheep里的a follower(追隨者)，B項中此人開車快是因為他的朋友們都這樣，可見他是個追隨者。所以答案選B。

2.C 推斷題。 行為類似海龜（turtle）的人總是行動緩慢，那么C、“按時到�！笨赡軐λ麃碚f就是個問題。所以C正確。

3.A 推理題。根據(jù)描述Buddy在周一的表現(xiàn)，討厭早起，易發(fā)脾氣等，根據(jù)What a crab（蟹） he is! A grouchy（發(fā)牢騷的） person; someone who is often angry and in a bad mood.得出答案他是個crab類型的人，所以選擇答案D。

4.D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)對Jerry的描述，他害怕看醫(yī)生，說明他refuses to face problems or reality不敢面對困難和現(xiàn)實，這是ostrich的行為。
