Question

【題目】 If you have a dog, you know the damage they can do to a garden. They dig under bushes, pound out a dirty path by the fence, or even eat your delicate flowers.【1】. In spite of that, we still love them. That’s why I put together these dog-lover tips for gardening.

Before you start planting, it’s important to note your dog’s personality.【2】 . So is your dog a patroller, a digger, or a chewer? Get a general idea of the most common behaviors of your dog and you’ll have a good idea of what to plant for.

If your dog patrols the yard----constantly circling the yard, you need to plant around it. 【3】. Keep high-traffic and patrolling zones open. Plant tall plants that will grow above your dog. Containers or raised planter boxes are a great option if you want to plant more colorful and delicate flowers.

【4】, add a low or high fence around an area you don’t want your dog to dig. Cover digging areas is also a neat trick. Another choice is a sandbox because sand doesn’t get muddy. Dries quickly, and shakes off easily. If you don’t want it where your dog is already digging you can try putting the sandbox in a shady area of the yard.

If your dog likes to chew, pay special attention to his safety. Certain plants can be poisonous and create health problems for your dog. Just go to some websites for information about poisonous plants for dogs. 【5】.

A.If your dog is a digger

B.Don’t plant where your dog always goes

C.When you prevent your dog from chewing

D.We shouldn’t have to yell at them every time they are in the yard

E.They will give you more on each plant so you can do your research

G.They are quick to turn their beautiful garden into their own personal playground

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，為愛狗人士提供了一些園藝小貼士。

【1】空前說如果你養(yǎng)狗，你知道它們會對花園造成什么損害，它們在灌木叢下挖洞，在籬笆旁開辟一條骯臟的小徑，甚至吃掉你嬌嫩的花朵，此處承接上文，說的是狗狗把花園變成了盡情撒歡、玩耍的地方，故G項（它們很快就把美麗的花園變成了自己的游樂場）符合語境。

【2】空前說在你開始種植之前，注意狗狗的個性是很重要的，空后又用“a patroller，“a digger”和“a chewer”舉例說明狗狗的個性是不一樣的，故F項（不同的動物有不同的能力，沒有兩條狗是一樣的）符合語境。

【3】空前說如果狗狗喜歡不停地圍著院子轉(zhuǎn)，你需要在院子周圍種些植物，此處承接上文，講的是在這種情況下種植植物的注意事項，故B項（不要把植物種在狗狗常去的地方）符合語境。

【4】空后說在你不想讓狗狗刨土的地方周圍加一個低或高的柵欄，此處需要提到一個條件——如果你的狗狗喜歡刨土，故A項（如果你的狗很愛刨土）符合語境。

【5】空前說去一些網(wǎng)站找一些關(guān)于有毒植物的信息就可以了，此處解釋原因——這些網(wǎng)站會給你提供關(guān)于每種植物更多的信息，這樣你就知道植物是否有毒，是否會影響狗狗的健康，故E項（它們會給你關(guān)于每種植物更多的信息，這樣你就可以做你的研究了）符合語境。

在七選五的解題過程中，選項中的代詞與空格上下文中出現(xiàn)的某一（些）名詞的指代關(guān)系往往是重要線索，例如本篇第5空，根據(jù)空前的“Just go to some websites for information about poisonous plants for dogs.”可知，去一些網(wǎng)站找一些關(guān)于有毒植物的信息就可以了，此處解釋原因——這些網(wǎng)站會給你提供關(guān)于每種植物更多的信息，這樣你就知道植物是否有毒，是否會影響狗狗的健康，E項中的“They”指代的就是前面提到的“websites”，故E項（它們會給你關(guān)于每種植物更多的信息，這樣你就可以做你的研究了）符合語境。
