解析:

讓小孩子飼養(yǎng)小狗有好處，這有什么稀奇的呢？稀奇的是學校這樣做！

11、詞義比較前后照應       有老師說自從Smith班上增添了幾個新的學生——拉布拉多獵狗和它們的父親后，她就看到班上有了很大的起色。 promotion促進，提升；progress進步, 發(fā)展；disturbance騷動，干擾；disappointment失望。

12、常識運用       Smith班上的七個學員，是訓練狗(dog，Labrador)的人(human)。這篇文章中一定要注意代詞所指，是指狗，還是指訓練狗的學員。

13、詞義辨析       Smith班上的七個學員過去有違紀問題的歷史記錄。problems問題，難題，總是與“困難”相聯系著，一般指有待解決的問題；questions問題, 總是與“疑問”相聯系，一般指有待回答的問題；issues問題，一般指引起“爭端的問題；troubles問題，一般指待來“麻煩，煩惱”的問題。

14、詞義辨析       從這七個學員訓練狗學會順從中，他們自己的行為也有了改進。A. habit習慣，習性，癖好，指經過長時間養(yǎng)成的行為習慣；attitude態(tài)度，意見，指人們對某件事的心理取向；action 動作，行動；behaviour 行為, 舉止, 習性，指人們的日常行為，舉止情況。

15、邏輯推理詞義比較       訓狗師教(teach)給學員一個新的技術，學員們就用在狗身上。guide指導，帶領；permit 許可, 允許, 準許；aid幫助，援助。

16、常識運用詞義比較       早晨，被訓練的狗出門去，就非常象(much as)父母帶著孩子到托兒所去一樣。such as諸如此類的東西；so that為了，以便，表示目的意義；even if即使，即便，表示讓步關系。

17、邏輯推理常識運用       Smith說當她的狗有了小狗崽，她自己的孩子對這些小狗崽作出了很乖(well)的反應，她因而有了這樣的想法。

18、語句連貫   她請教了學校的心理學家，學校把她的想法提交到了學校董事會。前后句子表示順承遞進關系，故選and。But表示轉折關系；so，because表示因果關系。

19、邏輯推理前后照應       同時還把贊同這個計劃的學員的信件上交學校董事會。與文章第一段聯系起來。象Smith小孩一樣的學員無法修訂、校訂(revise)和描述(describe)，當然不會反對(oppose)，而是支持、擁護(support)這個計劃。

20、邏輯推理詞義比較       寵物臨床醫(yī)學家說，你現在教給學生的就是讓學員學會自我控制(self-control)，你作出的決定很有重要性。self-criticism自我批評；self-respect自我尊重自尊, 自重；self-importance自尊, 自負, 自大。
