题目内容
18.Many people rush into the commitment of bringing home a four-legged family member,only to find out that they are not ready for a pet.This often results in the dog being turned over to a shelter where it may not find another home.This can be avoided if potential pet owners take the time to figure out if they are truly ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership.Being a responsible pet owner involves a financial commitment that goes beyond buying dog food.There are also parasite (寄生虫) prevention,boarding costs while traveling and the cost to care for the pet should it become ill or injured.That is not to say that one must be rich in order to have a dog,but it is important to be prepared for the expenses that come with being a pet owner.
Another consideration is the time commitment An owner away from home for 14hours every day is not an ideal situation for a dog.A potential dog owner must also consider the time it takes to care for his or her pet,the time it takes to feed,walk,play with,bathe and clean up.Also,dogs require attention.Be prepared to spend time each day petting and playing with it.
Dogs are dogs,and will act like dogs.This includes barking,digging,having accidents in the house and possibly destroying some of the owner's prized possessions,such as furniture,shoes and cell phones.If the above would cause an owner to want to get rid of the dog,then he or she is not yet ready to be a pet owner.Many wonderful pets end up in shelters simply because they acted like dogs!

分析 本文是一篇科教类阅读,文章主要是介绍了作为一个合格的养狗人应该具备哪些条件.如果你没有为养宠物做好准备,那就不要把它领回家.
解答 28-31 DACB
28 D 推理判断题.根据第二段Being a responsible pet owner involves a financial commitment that goes beyond buying dog food.以及第三段Another consideration is the time commitment.可知道要养宠物不仅仅需要的是一定的经济能力,而且还需要主人花费一定的时间去陪那些宠物.所以D选项是正确的
29 A 细节理解题.根据第二段和第三段的内容可知,如果对自己所养的狗厌烦然后就把它放去庇护所的话,是一种不负责任的行为.所以A是正确的.
30 C 句意理解题.根据第一段only to find out that they are not ready for a pet.可知作者主要是讲要如何对自己所养的狗负责任的.由此推知,"rush into the commitment of bringing home a four-legged family member"的意思是"对成为宠物主人没有认真思考过".所以C选项是正确的.
31 B 主旨大意题.根据全文内容可知,文章主要是介绍了作为一个合格的养狗人应该具备哪些条件,如果你没有为养宠物做好准备,那就不要把它领回家.所以B选项是正确的.
点评 一、速读全文,了解大意知主题.
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面.阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力.考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读,搜寻关键词、主题句,捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点,并且理清文章脉络,把握语篇实质.
二、看题干,带着问题读文章.
首先要掌握问题的类型,客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案;而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等,这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等.其次,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位.此法加强了阅读的针对性,提高了做题的准确率.
三、逻辑推理,做好深层理解题.
在实际阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,阅读者要根据字面意思,通过语篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义.要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理,不能就事论事,以偏概全.推理题在提问中常用的词有:infer,imply,suggest,indicate等.
四、猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎.
猜词是应用英语的重要能力.它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇.我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜",通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义.
A. | figure out | B. | give out | C. | bring out | D. | list out |
