Question

閱讀理解

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A，B，C和D）中選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　Some people take lots of exercise. Others keep to strict diets. But according to recent research, the best way to live a long and happy life is simple. Get a dog.

　　“We have known for many years that the company(陪伴) of a pet can increase well-being(幸福) in a number of ways,”says Dr. Bonnie Beaver, animal behavior(表現(xiàn)) specialist (專家) at Texas University.“For example, the survival (生存) rates of heart attack victims (受害者) with pets are much greater than those of people without pets.”

　　According to Dr. Beaver, pet owners are lees likely to need a doctor. They recover more quickly when they do get ill. They have lower blood pressure, take more exercise and are more socially active.

　　Above all, they are happier. Seventy percent of the families Dr. Beaver surveyed said that their family environment (環(huán)境) was happier after they got a pet. And this is what Dr. Beaver and other researchers are trying to achieve. They want to find a scientific link between human happiness and a long life.

　　There is no final answer to this question yet, but it seems to be something to do with emotional(情感的) ties. People with someone or something to love live longer.“There are many forms of animal-human relationship and some are very helpful,”says Dr. Beaver. It seems that the more lovely an animal is, the more it benefits our health. As the saying goes,“If you want to be loved, get a dog.”

　　Pet ownership benefits men and women equally. Other life experiences divide the sexes (性別).“Women are more sensitive to bad marriages then their husbands because they work harder at their relationships,”says Dr. Janice Glaser of Ohio State University.

　　The message seems to be that a woman is better off with a good dog than a bad husband. Yet in some ways, men are similar to dogs. They like getting dirty and making a mess. They forget birthdays. They can disappear for days on end. How can they be better trained?

Answer 1

答案：B;C;A;D
解析：

1．B　　導(dǎo)解：短文講述了養(yǎng)寵物與幸福人生的關(guān)系，第三段說(shuō)70％家庭養(yǎng)了寵物之后家庭環(huán)境更愉快了，第二段作者提到寵物能讓人在很多方面感到幸福，最后一段說(shuō)一條好狗對(duì)女人來(lái)說(shuō)勝過(guò)一個(gè)壞丈夫，并沒有提到B項(xiàng)內(nèi)容，“養(yǎng)狗讓人比別人更富有”。 　　2．C　　導(dǎo)解：從短文，尤其是最后一段的“女人與一條好狗作伴比與壞丈夫作伴更覺得幸福”可推斷選C． 　　3．A　　導(dǎo)解：全文闡述幸福人生的秘訣，說(shuō)養(yǎng)狗能讓人幸福長(zhǎng)壽，就連養(yǎng)寵物的心臟病患者也比其他患者生存率高，因此選A，講述寵物與快樂人生的關(guān)系。 　　4．D　　導(dǎo)解：從第一段及最后一段可看出作者幽默詼諧的寫作特點(diǎn)；要想長(zhǎng)壽就去弄條狗；在女人看來(lái)一頭好狗勝于壞丈夫。
