解答 56.答案是It. 考查形式主语,分析句子结构,本句的主语为"that U.S.homes have some sort of pets",it是形式主语代替真正的主语,所以答案是it.
57.答案是because.考查连词,根据上下关系美国人爱养猫和狗的原因是狗可以帮助看家猫可以清除昆虫,两句之间是因果关系,所以答案是because.
58.答案是unwanted.考查形容词,根据上下文内容可知清除的是令人讨厌的昆虫,unwanted是形容词"有害的,讨厌的",所以答案是unwanted.
59.答案是 belief.考查名词,根据句意"美国人的一种基本信念",believe是动词"相信",belief是名词"信念",所以答案是belief.
60.答案是be treated.考查被动语态,本题考查动词不定式的被动语态,"宠物有权利被好好对待",所以答案是be treated.
61.答案是delivered.考查非谓语,分析句子结构本句缺少宾语补足语,dinner与deliver之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词做宾语补足语,故答案是delivered.
62 答案是which/that.考查定语从句,分析句子结构本题考查定语从句,先行词是organizations,而且先行词在定语从句中做主语,所以关系代词是which或者that.
63 答案是for.考查固定短语,根据句意"为了偿付高额的健康宠物保健费",pay for是英语的固定短语"支付",所以答案是for.
64 答案是as.考查固定结构,as…as是英语的固定结构"和…一样",根据句意"宠物对于美国的文化来说就和热狗苹果派一样",所以答案是as.
65 答案是have discovered.考查时态,根据时间状语By now可知本句是一个现在完成时的句子,所以谓语动词要用have discovered.
