【答案】dogs are social animals and without

阅读理解。

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will spoil

your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively (过分地), fight other dogs and even bite you.

Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or

are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach

the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.

One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train (驯服) it.

Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any

problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication

is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.

Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request

of "come here, and sit", it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish

yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack (群)by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog

its subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to show submission (服从)to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accepts that you are in charge.

Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make

living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a

greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.

【题型说明】

该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。

【备考提醒】

为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：

1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜;试题难，不悲观。

2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。

3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。

4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
