Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlours(客廳) where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets. This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods，which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it’s not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children. There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of babies — a disease with no known cure. Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat，and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the ＂sweet little thing＂ has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on ＂Rover＂ or ＂Bonzo＂. Then they just abandon it. As a result, they are allowed to run free. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone’s pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own. Lastly, I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it’s time we stopped being sentimental about pets. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments. This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases, then I say,＂keep cutting!＂ 1. The doggy parlours are mentioned in the 1st paragraph to show ________. A. what costly lives the pets are living B. where Americans keep their pets C. why children love their pets so much D. how much pets depend on their masters 2. In the second paragraph ＂to get hot under the collar＂ probably means ________. A. getting quite hot B. being excited C. feeling extremely angry D. receiving a fashionable shirt 3. According to the author, in which field can animals be most useful? A. Food. B. Sports. C. Entertainment. D. Medicine. 4. What is the author’s attitude towards pets-raising? A. Sympathetic. B. Opposed. C. Pitiful. D. Supportive. 【文章大意】這是一篇議論文。作者通過介紹飼養(yǎng)寵物存在的種種問題(譬如飼養(yǎng)成本昂貴、寵物致人受傷、傳染疾病等)，表達(dá)了自己反對飼養(yǎng)寵物，而是應(yīng)當(dāng)將寵物用于貢獻(xiàn)人類醫(yī)學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)的觀點(diǎn)。 1. A　【解析】推理判斷題。＂the doggy parlours＂所在的句子就是為了進(jìn)一步闡釋第一句＂A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children.＂，即如今人們在飼養(yǎng)寵物上花銷巨大的現(xiàn)狀。故答案為A。 3. D　【解析】推理判斷題。從本文的最后兩句＂I can see no reason why we should get upset...This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases...＂可知作者認(rèn)為寵物在人類醫(yī)學(xué)領(lǐng)域可以起著有益的作用。因此答案為D。 4. B　【解析】觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。文章前面介紹了成本昂貴、傳染疾病等飼養(yǎng)寵物的危害，后面又提到應(yīng)把寵物用于貢獻(xiàn)人類醫(yī)學(xué)領(lǐng)域中去，故而可以看出作者對于飼養(yǎng)寵物的做法持反對態(tài)度。因此答案為B。 B Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a lifechanging adventure overseas.They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down.However，life overseas is not always easy，and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture. The honeymoon period At first，for those who actually decide to move abroad，life is an exciting adventure.They enjoy exploring their new surroundings，and life seems like an extended holiday.They don’t mind trying the local cuisine and discovering the local culture.They can even afford to practise their foreignlanguage skills without fear of making mistakes. Trouble in paradise In many cases，when people consider moving to another country，they often fail to realize how different life will be.As time goes by，they bee frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings bee a daily headache.In this stage，the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favour of mixing with others from their own cultural background. The road to recovery Gradually，most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them.This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home，such as opening a bank account.This newfound confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness. Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem.The secret to overe it is to stop trying to change your host country. If not，you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind. 【解題導(dǎo)語】　本文是一篇說明文。許多人因?yàn)橄矚g冒險(xiǎn)和探索，所以移居國外生活，但文化的差異和語言的不同又使得他們很沮喪，因此作者建議移居國外的人最好能夠?qū)W好當(dāng)?shù)卣Z言以適應(yīng)當(dāng)?shù)厣睢? 1．Why do people moving abroad feel excited at first?
