Question

【題目】 Lots of people love to keep pets, but they don’t know how to communicate with their pets. Are you one of the pet keepers? If your answer is “yes”, here are some suggestions for you.

1.Talk with your pet.

Although your pet may not exactly understand your words, he can at least pick up on the tone of your words and your body language when you talk to him. For example, if you speak with him in a stern voice, he might pick up on the fact that you are unhappy with his behavior.

2.Use non-verbal(非語言的) communication.

Your non-verbal communication is just as important as verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is often used in training your pet to do a certain activity. For example, if you are sitting on your horse, you would use your legs and hands to command your horse to turn around. When you teach your dog to sit, you would actually combine verbal and non-verbal communication (hand signals) to give him the ‘sit’ command.

3.Avoid punishing your pet.

Punishing your pet is never a good idea. Punishment can make your pet fearful of you and possibly lose trust and respect that he has for you. What’s more, some pets, like cats, do not necessarily make the connection between your punishment and the behavior you are punishing them for.

A.和善的B.嚴(yán)厲的C.柔和的D.耐心的

【2】You can use your________to command your horse to turn around.

A.The writer tells us four suggestions in the passage.

B.The writer doesn’t mention “horse” in the passage.

C.The writer thinks it necessary to punish pets.

D.Your pet cat doesn’t understand why you punish him.

【解析】

本文是篇說明文，主要介紹如何和寵物交流。文章提出了三方面建議：和寵物說話、使用非語言交流方式以及不要懲罰寵物。

【1】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“1.Talk with your pet”中的最后一句“he might pick up on the fact that you are unhappy with his behavior”它或許會注意到你對它的行為不滿意，可推斷你用嚴(yán)厲的聲音對寵物說話。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“2.Use non-verbal(非語言的) communication”中“you would use your legs and hands to command your horse to turn around”，可知你是用腿和手來命令你的馬改變方向。故選A。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句“What’s more, some pets, like cats, do not necessarily make the connection between your punishment and the behavior you are punishing them for”你的貓不會把你的懲罰和你懲罰它的原因聯(lián)系起來，可推斷你的貓并不理解你為什么懲罰它。故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。通讀全文，可知文章主要介紹和動物交流時的一些建議，由此可推斷合適的雜志版塊應(yīng)該是“動物世界”。故選A。

【5】最佳標(biāo)題題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容，可知本文主要內(nèi)容是就如何和寵物交流提三點建議，與之最符合的選項應(yīng)是C。故選C。
