题目内容
【题目】 If you have a dog, you know the damage they can do to a garden. They dig under bushes, pound out a dirty path by the fence, or even eat your delicate flowers.【1】. In spite of that, we still love them. That’s why I put together these dog-lover tips for gardening.
Before you start planting, it’s important to note your dog’s personality.【2】 . So is your dog a patroller, a digger, or a chewer? Get a general idea of the most common behaviors of your dog and you’ll have a good idea of what to plant for.
If your dog patrols the yard----constantly circling the yard, you need to plant around it. 【3】. Keep high-traffic and patrolling zones open. Plant tall plants that will grow above your dog. Containers or raised planter boxes are a great option if you want to plant more colorful and delicate flowers.
【4】, add a low or high fence around an area you don’t want your dog to dig. Cover digging areas is also a neat trick. Another choice is a sandbox because sand doesn’t get muddy. Dries quickly, and shakes off easily. If you don’t want it where your dog is already digging you can try putting the sandbox in a shady area of the yard.
If your dog likes to chew, pay special attention to his safety. Certain plants can be poisonous and create health problems for your dog. Just go to some websites for information about poisonous plants for dogs. 【5】.
A.If your dog is a digger
B.Don’t plant where your dog always goes
C.When you prevent your dog from chewing
D.We shouldn’t have to yell at them every time they are in the yard
E.They will give you more on each plant so you can do your research

本文是一篇说明文,为爱狗人士提供了一些园艺小贴士。
【1】空前说如果你养狗,你知道它们会对花园造成什么损害,它们在灌木丛下挖洞,在篱笆旁开辟一条肮脏的小径,甚至吃掉你娇嫩的花朵,此处承接上文,说的是狗狗把花园变成了尽情撒欢、玩耍的地方,故G项(它们很快就把美丽的花园变成了自己的游乐场)符合语境。
【2】空前说在你开始种植之前,注意狗狗的个性是很重要的,空后又用“a patroller,“a digger”和“a chewer”举例说明狗狗的个性是不一样的,故F项(不同的动物有不同的能力,没有两条狗是一样的)符合语境。
【3】空前说如果狗狗喜欢不停地围着院子转,你需要在院子周围种些植物,此处承接上文,讲的是在这种情况下种植植物的注意事项,故B项(不要把植物种在狗狗常去的地方)符合语境。
【4】空后说在你不想让狗狗刨土的地方周围加一个低或高的栅栏,此处需要提到一个条件——如果你的狗狗喜欢刨土,故A项(如果你的狗很爱刨土)符合语境。
【5】空前说去一些网站找一些关于有毒植物的信息就可以了,此处解释原因——这些网站会给你提供关于每种植物更多的信息,这样你就知道植物是否有毒,是否会影响狗狗的健康,故E项(它们会给你关于每种植物更多的信息,这样你就可以做你的研究了)符合语境。
在七选五的解题过程中,选项中的代词与空格上下文中出现的某一(些)名词的指代关系往往是重要线索,例如本篇第5空,根据空前的“Just go to some websites for information about poisonous plants for dogs.”可知,去一些网站找一些关于有毒植物的信息就可以了,此处解释原因——这些网站会给你提供关于每种植物更多的信息,这样你就知道植物是否有毒,是否会影响狗狗的健康,E项中的“They”指代的就是前面提到的“websites”,故E项(它们会给你关于每种植物更多的信息,这样你就可以做你的研究了)符合语境。
