【1】句意:一只快乐的小狗听说了这个地方,决定去参观。
travel旅行;trip旅行;visit拜访。分析“A happy little dog heard of this place and decided to pay a ___1___ there.”可知,此处表示“一只快乐的小狗听说了这个地方,决定去参观”的含义,构成“pay a visit”短语,翻译为“参观”,是固定搭配。故选C。

本文通过两只狗去了同一间屋子的故事告诉我们其实世界就像一面镜子,是你的情绪的反映。短文主题明确,内容贴近时事,比较容易理解。题型是完形填空,考查学生们在具体语境中运用语言的能力,综合性较强。做题时,应先通读短文,了解文意;然后根据上下文语境做题,注意空前后的固定搭配,并仔细辨析选项中单词的意思和用法;最后将答案代入原文,再读一遍,检查答案是否正确。例如第2小题,考查的是“到达”的几种表达方式,注意介词的选择。再如第7小题,考查的是不定代词的用法,要注意是几者之间的比较。
