Question

  Cold weather can be hard on pets,just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their pets are just as used to the warm shelter as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time,thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your ani?mal warm and safe.

  Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out,stay outside with them. When you're cold enough to go inside,they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time,make sure they have a warm,solid shelter against the wind,thick bedding,and plenty of non-frozen water.

  If left alone outside,dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors,and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet's water. Sometimes owners don't realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can't get anything to drink. Animals that don't have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside,which may contain something unhealthy for them.

Answer 1

1. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。結(jié)合第一段的"Sometimes owners forget that their pets are just as used to the warm shelter as they are."可知寵物也像人們一樣，喜歡待在溫暖的環(huán)境中，因此選D。

2.A

3.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從最后一段的"Sometimes owners don't realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can't get anything to drink. Animals that don't have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside "-”可知在寒冷的天氣里，水會被凍住，因此寵物們可能會缺水喝。B中for fun錯誤;C"把附近的雪弄臟"和D"在野外迷路"，與原文信息不符。

4.B作者意圖題。作者主要是對那些養(yǎng)寵物的人們提出了具體的建議：在寒冷的天氣里，怎樣照顧好他們的寵物。因此選B。
