Question

【題目】

To many people, pandas are the loveliest animal in the world. However, it's impossible for everyone to hug and play with the cute bears. That is why panda fans gathered at a cafe (咖啡館) in Chengdu, Sichuan. They stayed with the dogs that look like the lovely bears.

"A relative showed me photos of dogs that look like pandas the other day. I came specially to have a look on my way home after school, said Wang Shuhan, a middle-school student.

The Cute Pet Games cafe opened in September. Covering 300 square meters and accommodating 80 people at most, it does a hot business because of its six panda-like Chow Chow dogs (松獅犬) .

But there is another different voice about animal abuse (虐待) . While the dogs are naturally short and cute, their fur has been coloured black and white to make them look more like China's national symbol.

One of the managers of the cafe, Lyu Yunning, said that the six dogs came from Japan and were coloured black and white before they arrived in China to attract customers. The cafe chose Chow Chow dogs because they are light and quiet.

But the cafe brought a heated online discussion over the treatment of animals when a local newspaper reported that the owner, surnamed Huang, said it had started offering pet colouring services after the panda dogs became a hit. The cost of the dog colouring is 1,500 yuan as the colouring material is from Japan and very expensive, the newspaper reported. It takes trained worker about a day to change a Chow Chow into a "panda", the owner was quoted as saying.

The story led to angry online words from pet owners stressing the possible bad effects of colouring the animals' fur.

However, the manager Lyu said the cafe had never coloured any animal and charged the newspaper with making up an untrue story.

【解析】

本文講述了成都的一家咖啡館將松獅犬染成“熊貓色”，這種對待寵物的方式引發(fā)了人們的廣泛批評，并且咖啡館經(jīng)理否認網(wǎng)上謠傳店里給狗染色的這項服務。

【1】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)Covering 300 square meters and accommodating 80 people at most, it does a hot business because of its six panda-like Chow Chow dogs，可知，占地300平方米，最多容納80人的咖啡館，因為有六個像熊貓的松獅犬，所以生意很火，由此可知，it指代前文提到的the café。故選B。

【2】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)when a local newspaper reported that the owner, surnamed Huang, said it had started offering pet colouring services after the panda dogs became a hit，可知，在松獅犬變得火熱后，這家咖啡館提供寵物染色服務，這個消息引起了激烈的討論。從這個激烈的討論可以看出，一些人對于給動物染色這個事情持相反的意見。故選B。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)One of the managers of the cafe, Lyu Yunning, said that the six dogs came from Japan and were coloured black and white before they arrived in China to attract customers “咖啡館的一位經(jīng)理說這六只狗來自日本，在到中國前為了吸引顧客被染成黑白相間的顏色”及However, the manager Lyu said the cafe had never coloured any animal and charged the newspaper with making up an untrue story“然而，呂經(jīng)理說咖啡館從未給任何動物染色，并指控報紙編造了一個不真實的故事”，可知，一直都是咖啡館的經(jīng)理說他們沒有給任何動物染色，實際上我們并不知這家咖啡館之前是否給動物染過色。故選C。
