15.The slogan (口号)"a dog is for life,not just for Christmas"has been going strong for 27years now.Dogs and cats have been popular Christmas gifts in the UK and Europe for many years.But some people still haven't quite got the message.
The slogan still holds good.Some 105,000dogs were rounded up by local government last year because they had been abandoned (遗弃),many of them shortly after the festival season.
The main reason given by owners for handing their dogs over to the Dogs Trust is that the dogs need more attention than they can give; behavioral problems and moving home are also reasons given.
But Eleanor Silk,the Trust's communications director,says,"It's often four or five months after Christmas,in early summer,when owners find that the dog has got too big and too active,or it hasn't been trained properly and has caused damage around the home."
In any case,some organizations that help pets are quick to point out that if you are serious about getting a puppy (小狗) as a pet,Christmas is not the time to do it.Puppies need to get used to their new surroundings,to be introduced to a routine (惯例),and to be looked after like small children.It's hard to meet any of these needs at Christmas.What's more,pulling a puppy out of a Christmas stocking in itself sends the wrong message to children:it encourages children to think of the puppy as a toy,rather than a responsibility.
Appreciating what you're taking on with a dog can be a sobering (清醒的) realization."For life"means thinking about the effect they will have on your life.It also infers you will need to care for the dog for its entire life.

A.Dogs and cats--the most popular Christmas gifts.
B.A pet is for life,not just for Christmas.
C.How to take care of your pets over Christmas.

A.Pets spread some diseases.
B.Pets damage some things in the house.
C.The owners can't take good cam of the pets.

C.raised to make money        
D.gathered into one place

C.the reasons why Christmas is not the time to get a pet
D.the worries about Christmas pets from organizations that help pets.

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们说明了在英国以及欧洲,狗和猫已经成为广受欢迎的圣诞礼物,但事实上圣诞节并不适合收到宠物,因为宠物需要时间来适应新环境,但是人们在圣诞节是没有多余的时间来照顾宠物的,并且由于多种原因导致现在的流浪宠物越来越多,作者呼吁人们正确的看待宠物.

解答 43.D  主旨大意题,通读全文可知作者在这篇文章中主要向我们说明了如今流浪的动物越来越多,呼吁我们帮助那些被遗弃的宠物,故选D.
44.A  细节理解题,根据第三段the dogs need more attention than they can give;behavioral problems and moving home are also reasons given;第四段or it hasn't been trained properly and has caused damage around the home;可知宠物被遗弃是因为主人不能很好的照顾他们,他们会破坏房子里的一些东西以及他们的主人必须搬家等,而文章中没有提到他们因为传播疾病而被抛弃,故选A.
45.D  词义猜测题,根据第二段The slogan still holds good.Some 105,000dogs were rounded up by local government last year because they had been abandoned (遗弃),many of them shortly after the festival season.可知十万零五千只狗被政府围捕,因为他们已经被人们遗弃了,故选D.
46.C  细节理解题,根据第五段In any case,some organizations that help pets are quick to point out that if you are serious about getting a puppy (小狗) as a pet,Christmas is not the time to do it.可知一些组织指出如果你想要帮助一些流浪狗,那么在圣诞节那是没有时间的,因为狗狗需要时间适应新的环境,由此可知本段讲述了为什么圣诞节不适合得到宠物,故选C.

点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

以下是各位明星对自己成长经历的详细陈述.请将相关的陈述与关键备忘信息匹配起来.

61."Your high school probably doesn't offer a program called VJ 101,so if you want to work at MuchMusic,you might have to find your own way,"she certainly did as she said."My journey to the front of the camera wasn't a typical one.But,I started the way many VJs start:watching MuchMusic as a child.And basically,when I was growing up as a teenager,MuchMusic was all I had.I didn't grow up in the Internet age,the way it is now.So MuchMusic was my source to learn about everything,"she says.B
62."An artist should bring honesty and a desire to move people,"says she."The people that would do anything for their art are the people that you are going to want to see-really passionate,creative people.So when they share that with others,you have a lot of power,and ultimately,I think that is why people love music."Some of her musical influences include legends like Neil Young,and Elvis Costello."I admire musicians that are still challenging themselves after 30years or more.That is what I hope to one day do for myself.My music is a reflection of different experiences that I endure at any given time of my life,"she adds.E
63.She and Terri started out as school friends years ago.She says,"Terri was the kind of person I just knew I would keep in touch with when we went our separate ways after high school.""There is perhaps no greater need for a true friend than in times of loss,pain or illness.It is life's struggles that put friendships to the test,and if you can come out smiling and knowing that the other is always there for you no matter what happens,then that's a friend worth keeping,"The Vampire Diaries star added.A
64."If I want to be alone,or if I'm having a bad day,I pick up my guitar.Music is my release,"she explains."Since starting on this non-stop journey,I feel that I,as a person,have not changed although other things have.My surroundings have definitely changed,and I've had to adapt to that-being away from home constantly,which was strange to me at first.But I've had a year of touring to practice being on my own,and tried to keep in contact with my closest friends and family as much as possible.""All I do these days is work,so if I ever do need advice,it has to do with work,"she laughs.F
65."I like choosing to continually challenge myself.Change is an important and natural thing,"she says."It's important because everyone changes as they grow up.With the album,I wanted to let people know that I was maturing.""Music is a good way to get everyone to know the real me.Everyone evolves and changes,"she adds.With the success of her debut album,she proved that evolving from TV actress to movie star to pop star was an important and natural change indeed.D.
6.Do you really want to go on to higher education?
    This is the first question you must ask yourself and it is the most important at this major crossroads of your life.Many can advise you,but you alone face the consequences of this fundamental decision.
    Stop.Think about it.Be honest with yourself and be realistic.Do you want higher education because you really feel you will benefit from it-or are you drifting towards it in response to the expectations of your parents and friends?Conversely,are you being put off higher education by other people's prejudices?
    Don't commit yourself to any form of full-time higher education if you are not interested in any of the numerous courses available.Higher education is most uncomfortable and unsatisfying for those who have little interest in the subject they have chosen to study.
    It can be an advantage to have a clear idea about the kind of career you eventually want,because then you can choose a course most likely to equip you for your future.
    Don't worry if you have no ideas about a future career; but do find out what are the career implications of your choice of course.Broad prospects(前景)will be open to you whatever course you follow,provided you do well and have the right personal qualities.Don'ttypecast typecast typecast yourself or allow anyone else to do so.This particularly applies to girls.Girls are still subject to prejudices about courses which lead to careers traditionally labeled as"man's work".This is almost always unjustifiable and women are now working in all sorts of former male"preserves".
    Competition for places will be tougher in future but the total available will still be very large.
    Seek advice from your careers teacher,careers officer and parents--but it is you who must decide whether or not you want to go on to higher education.
