Question

【题目】 In Canada you can find dogs, cats, etc. in almost every family. They are raised as pets. Before being kept, they are taken to animal hospitals to be vaccinated (给……接种疫苗) so that they won't carry diseases. Most Canadians buy food for their pets from special animal food stores though they can get animal food in almost every store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people's homes, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcome to come and have a good meal.

这篇短文讲述了加拿大人对动物的喜爱。在加拿大，几乎每个家庭里都养宠物，而且会细心照顾他们。加拿大人喜爱动物的原因很多，其中一个是因为他们的孩子长大后离开了家，他们感到很孤独，而宠物可以陪伴他们。

【1】细节理解题。根据短文第一段的介绍以及第二段的开头“People in Canada have many reasons for loving animals.”可知，加拿大人非常喜爱动物。由此可知应选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据短文第二段中“When children grow up, they want to have their own space and they leave their parents.”可知，当孩子们长大了，他们想有自己的空间，所以就会离开他们的父母。由此可知应选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据短文第一段中“Before being kept, they are taken to animal hospitals to be vaccinated (给……接种疫苗) so that they won't carry diseases.”可知，在养宠物之前，主人会带他们去打疫苗，为的是不让他们携带病菌。由此可知应选C。

【4】推理判断题。根据短文第一段的最后两句话“You will also find almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcome to come and have a good meal”可知，几乎每个加拿大的家庭都有喂鸟器，各种各样的鸟都可以来吃一顿好饭。由此可知D选项符合文意，同时也可排除C。根据第一段中“Most Canadians buy food for their pets from special animal food stores though they can get animal food in almost every store.”可知A不对；根据第一段中“When you visit people's homes, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them”可知B不对。

【5】主旨大意题。根据短文第一段的开头“In Canada you can find dogs, cats, etc. in almost every family.”可知，这里提到加拿大几乎每个家庭都养宠物；根据第二段的开头“People in Canada have many reasons for loving animals.”可知，这一段讲述了加拿大人喜欢动物的原因。由此可知，全文围绕加拿大人对动物的喜爱进行介绍，故B选项最符合文意，选B。

这篇短文介绍了加拿大人对动物的喜爱。文章分两段，每一段的中心都非常明确，内容也贴近教材和日常生活，比较容易理解。题型是阅读理解，考查学生们快速阅读掌握大意、搜索细节信息或根据上下文意以及逻辑关系进行推理判断的能力。题目设置有细节理解题、推理判断题和主旨大意题。做题时，应先浏览短文，掌握大意，抓住文章主题和中心；然后阅读题目，根据题目所问，在短文中搜索相关细节信息，或根据细节信息进行推理或判断。例如第3小题，这是一个细节题，根据题干中的关键词“The animals are vaccinated”可定位至短文第一段中“Before being kept, they are taken to animal hospitals to be vaccinated (给……接种疫苗) so that they won't carry diseases.”这句话，由此可知，在养宠物之前，主人会带他们去打疫苗，为的是不让他们携带病菌，故应选C。再如第4小题，这是一个判断题，先把每个选项的意思弄清楚，然后一一在文章中进行定位，由文章中的信息进行判断，用排除法作答。
