領養(yǎng)寵物

“Well, we’re in our new house. Let’s get a new pet to get along with it,” Mrs Brown said to her husband.

“That sounds like a pretty good idea,” he answered. “Do you want to see the ads in the newspaper?”

“Let’s go to the animal shelter. Many pets there need homes. Since tomorrow is Saturday, we can both go,” she said.

Next morning the Browns met Mr Snow at the animal shelter. “We want to be sure that the pets here go to good homes,” Mr Snow said, “So I need to ask you some questions.”

After they talked for a while, the Browns decided to get a small dog. It wouldn’t need a big house or a big yard. A small dog wouldbark(吠) and warm them if someone tried to break into their house. After Mr Snow gave the Browns a book on pet care, they chose one and wanted to take her home right away. But the animal doctor hadn’t checked her yet. So Mr Snow told them to return on Sunday.

On Sunday afternoon the Browns went to the animal shelter. The animal doctor said, “Shadow has had all of hershots(預防針). She will be healthy.” The browns thanked the doctor and took Shadow home.

【答案及解析】

2.

選B。由第3段句子Let’s go to the animal shelter. Many pets there need homes.可知，shelter是a place to keep homeless animals(無家可歸的動物們的避難所)。

3.

選D。第4段內容告訴我們：醫(yī)生想為寵物們找個好家，他想知道Brown夫婦是否能照顧好寵物，否則醫(yī)生也不放心把寵物交給他們的。

4.

選B。由第5段的句子A small dog wouldbark(吠) and warm them if someone tried to break into their house. 我們可知，一只小狗就可以幫他們看家了。故答案選B。

5.
