Question

Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pet in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.

Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.

If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.

試題分析：文章大意：本文是一篇說明文。文章給養(yǎng)寵物的人們提供了一些實(shí)用的建議。天氣惡劣的時(shí)候，把寵物放在家里；天氣寒冷的時(shí)候，注意讓寵物有干凈的水喝。

1.詞義推測題。根據(jù)第一段Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter as they are.可以推測出shelter為“避難所”之意。故B正確。

2.2】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are.”可知，貓等寵物也像人一樣習(xí)慣于暖和的住所。故B正確。

3.考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too.”可知：當(dāng)你感到冷的時(shí)候就會(huì)進(jìn)房間，它們也是如此。故D正確。

4.考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第三段中的“a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink”可知，當(dāng)水盆被凍之后，寵物就可能找不到干凈的水喝。故A正確。
