【解析】文章大意：作者用自己的親身經(jīng)歷告訴我們，動(dòng)物有時(shí)候可能會(huì)感覺(jué)到人類無(wú)法感知的事情，如某些潛在的危險(xiǎn)等。有一次，當(dāng)作者帶著小狗散步時(shí)，天突然下起雨來(lái)，于是作者跑到公交站臺(tái)底下躲雨�？墒�，小狗卻扯著他(她)的褲腿催其離開(kāi)。最終，小狗救了它的主人一命。
（1）根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境可知，此處表示并列關(guān)系，besides“除此之外(還有)”符合語(yǔ)境。
（2） A、certain“某些，某一”符合語(yǔ)境。句意：我相信它們能感覺(jué)到某些人類無(wú)法感知的事情。
（3）根據(jù)上下文可知，C項(xiàng)正確，即一次親身經(jīng)歷向我證明了這一點(diǎn)(它們能感覺(jué)到某些人類無(wú)法感知的事情)。
（4）A項(xiàng)意為“與……諧音”符合語(yǔ)境，即我們給小狗起名Howard以和coward(膽小鬼)諧音。
（5）根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，Howard非常膽小，害怕閃電，因此D項(xiàng)正確。
（6）once此處表示“有一次”，符合語(yǔ)境，即接下來(lái)作者開(kāi)始講述那次發(fā)生的事情。
（7） shelter意為“遮蓋物，避難所，藏身地”，符合語(yǔ)境。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，當(dāng)下雨時(shí)，“我”跑到公交站臺(tái)底下躲雨。再根據(jù)第三段最后一句“...from the shelter...”可知，C項(xiàng)正確。
（8）根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容可知，小狗是在暗示“我”離開(kāi)那個(gè)危險(xiǎn)的地方，它只有用牙齒咬住“我”的褲子，而不是衣領(lǐng)、袖子或帽子。
（9）根據(jù)上下文可知，剛開(kāi)始時(shí)(at first)“我”由于不知道小狗的意圖，所以感到奇怪并生氣。
（10） behavior意為“行為”，符合語(yǔ)境，即“我”對(duì)它咬“我”褲子的行為感到不理解、生氣。
（11） head for“前往”，即往家里走去。
（12）當(dāng)“我”離開(kāi)站臺(tái)大約200米時(shí)，看見(jiàn)了一道雪亮的閃電。
（13）根據(jù)常理可知，閃電過(guò)后不久(soon after)便會(huì)聽(tīng)到雷聲。
（14） deafen“使變聾”，指雷聲很大。
（15） bent意為“彎下腰”，即彎下腰將處于恐懼中的小狗抱起來(lái)。
（16）根據(jù)上下文可知，C項(xiàng)正確，即當(dāng)“我”抱起小狗站起身時(shí)，(不經(jīng)意地)望了一眼剛才躲雨的站臺(tái)。glare at“怒視”；stare at“凝視”；glance at“很快地看一眼”；aim at“意圖，旨在”。
（17） 根據(jù)第三段第四句“...by metal poles.”可知，D項(xiàng)poles指柱子，即上文“我”剛才躲雨的那個(gè)站臺(tái)下的柱子。
（18）根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，A項(xiàng)正確，即支撐站臺(tái)的兩根柱子斷裂了。
（19）根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容和本句前半句“I gave Howard a big hug”可知，“我”感謝小狗救了“我”一命。
（20）小狗Howard救了“我”一命，所以“我”認(rèn)為它是“我”的英雄。
