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 they are 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:本文是一篇說明文，介紹了人們應(yīng)該如何去照顧寵物。寵物和人一樣需要溫暖的環(huán)境，干凈的飲用水，如果被棄于寒冷的戶外或者是飲用了不干凈的水都會對寵物的健康造成影響。

1. 主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段主題句Cold weather can be hard on pets,可知寒冷會對動物造成傷害，然后作者在段中具體分析人們對寵物的錯(cuò)誤做法，引出如何讓動物安全溫暖的話題，故答案選B。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中 When you're cold enough to go inside, they probably are too.可知作者建議人們和寵物一起在戶外的原因是可以感知什么時(shí)候應(yīng)該把寵物帶回室內(nèi)，選C。

3. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章末段內(nèi)容Keep an eye on your pet's water……可知如果讓寵物獨(dú)自呆在戶外會缺少干凈的飲用水，選A。

4.推理判斷題。文章開頭段的末句There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.

引出如何照顧寵物這一話題，然后在下文中分段進(jìn)行介紹，由此可知文章中心內(nèi)容是給養(yǎng)寵物的人們一些建議，故A選項(xiàng)正確。
