Unit 3 Pets Reading 主题阅读 1 Lovely pets Do you have any pets in your homes? While you read 1 2 3 4 Emma and Matt give their opinions about pet dogs. Is it a good idea to keep pet dogs? 5 I think that having a pet dog can change a person’s life. Therefore, people should be allowed to have pet dogs. There are lots of reasons for this. First, dogs are really cute. It’s nice to pick them up and hold them in our arms, and it’s wonderful to see them growing up quickly. 1 2 3 4 5 Second, we can learn about responsibility from keeping pet dogs. We have to feed them, train them and play with them. We even have to take care of them at night. According to my mum, this helps us become more responsible people. We can also learn about life and death from dogs. Young people can learn how to care for others and how to respect all living things by keeping a pet dog. A dog will love you faithfully for many years. Keeping pet dogs is something everyone can enjoy. 1 2 3 4 5 In my opinion, it is never a good idea to keep a pet dog. Pet dogs create a lot of mess. They leave fur and hair on the floor, on beds and on sofas, and they need to be washed regularly. Some people are not very good at cleaning up after their dogs when they take them for a walk. As a result, these dogs create a lot of mess on the streets and in parks. 1 2 3 4 5 We should remember that not all dogs are friendly. Some dogs bark at people they do not know. This can frighten young children. A few dogs bark all night. This stops their neighbours from getting any sleep. A small number of pet dogs even bite people. What’s more, most people in modern cities live in flats. They have no choice but to keep their dogs in small spaces. This may make the dogs feel extremely unhappy. They always need fresh air and large open spaces where they can run free. Finally, paying for dog food and visiting the vet can be expensive. I believe that people should not keep pet dogs. 1 2 3 4 5 Do you know? opinions, views , supporting details When we read a newspaper or magazine article, we need to know what the author wants to tell us.It is called the author’s opinion. The author uses some views to support his or her opinions. Then the author will also give some examples to support his or her views.

Help him complete his notes. 1 2 3 Chapter 5: Dogs Dogs are excellent pets. They are very friendly and very beautiful too. Most dogs are good with children. Others are especially good watch-dogs because they bark loudly when someone arrives unexpectedly. 1 2 3 When you buy a dog, an important thing to consider is its size. Buy a small dog for a small flat. Buy a bigger one for a larger flat. Also, check if the dog you want to buy needs rabies① injections②. Rabies is a very dangerous disease, but you can prevent it with injections. Many people wonder how to feed their dogs. Dogs eat almost anything! They like meat, rice, biscuits and lots of other things. You can find lots of specially-made dog food in shops. Don’t let your dog eat too much. Feed it only once a day. Always leave water for your dog. It can get thirsty very quickly, especially in summer. Remember that dogs need exercise. Don’t keep your dog inside all day. You should take it for a daily walk. Remember, big dogs need longer walks than small ones. ① rabies n. 狂犬病 ② injection n. 注射 friendly beautiful with children good watch-dogs bark size small dog bigger one larger flat rabies injection meat rice dog food once a day leave water for gets thirsty summer keep dog inside for a daily walk need longer walks Using Otters (水獭) are cute water animals. These days, keeping otters as pets is getting popular. In Japan, some “otter cafés (咖啡馆)” are open for business. People can pay to play with the otters there and to take photos with them. In Indonesia, people go swimming with their pet otters and take funny videos. These photos and videos posted online have interested more people to buy otters as pets. However, these enjoyable photos and videos hide the damage (损害) that the online trade is doing to otters. In fact, wild otters are facing many threats—they have long been hunted for their coats; in some places, fishermen have been killing otters in order to stop them from eating fish; and now, the online pet trade has become another big problem for otters. In the wild, baby otters usually stay with their mothers during their first year of life. According to a report, 70% of the otters sold online are under one year old. These baby otters have been stolen from their mothers. When they are kept as pets by humans, they do not live full and natural lives. Otters are very social. They live in family groups of up to 15 in the wild. Keeping an otter as a pet can make it very sad and lonely. These animals also need enough space to swim. Their owners’ bathtubs (浴缸) or pools are nowhere near as large as the bodies of water in the wild. On the other hand, otters simply don’t make good pets. They have a very special fishy smell. If they are kept indoors, they will leave a lot of waste around the house. This would make the smell even more unpleasant. Besides, when otters are unhappy, they will make loud noises and even attack (攻击) people. If a person is hurt by an otter, he or she needs to go to hospital at once. So, we should stop the otter pet trade and never share photos and videos about them online. 1．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1? A．The ways of buying otters online.

B．They may make loud noises. C．They have a special fishy smell. D．They need to go to hospital often. 5．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing the text? A．To tell people the otters’ living habits. B．To teach people how to keep a pet otter. C．To introduce the appearance of the otters. D．To call on people to stop the otter pet trade. 16 Keys 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了由于把水獭当做宠物越来越流行，导致水獭陷入了困境，其实水獭不适合当做宠物饲养，文章旨在呼吁人们停止水獭交易。 1．段落大意题。根据第一段“These days, keeping otters as pets is getting popular.

They live in family groups of up to 15 in the wild.”可知，野生水獭通常以群体形式生活，每个群体由十五只水獭组成，故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“On the other hand, otters simply don’t make good pets. They have a very special fishy smell...Besides, when otters are unhappy, they will make loud noises and even attack (攻击) people.”可知，水獭需要经常去医院不是它们不适合作为宠物的原因。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“So, we should stop the otter pet trade and never share photos and videos about them online.”可知，文章旨在呼吁人们停止水獭交易。故选D。 17 Using As a child, Renae often felt lonely. But that all changed when she turned 10．For her birthday, Renae’s grandmother gave her a cute dog named Chloe. From the very start, the two were inseparable (形影不离的) “She was my best friend,” Renae says . But when Renae was 14, her father started to work from home, and the house needed to be quiet. “Chloe was yappy,” Renae says. “I was just a kid, so I didn’t have any choice .I didn’t want to give up my dog. I felt so sad about it.” The family sent Chloe to a society. Though they were told the dog would find a new home, they couldn’t know for sure. “I called the society to find out what happened to her,” Renae says, “but they couldn’t tell me anything.” In time, Renae grew up. got married, and had her own child. But her family didn’t feel complete. Remembering the joy a dog had brought, Renae decided to keep a dog for her kid. Then she saw a post online about a 13- year- old dog that needed a new home. The dog looked like Chloe------ she was even named Chloe. When she met Chloe, the dog looked familiar (熟悉的). And Chloe appeared to feel the same way. Chloe reminded Renae of her old dog. Still, 8 years had passed since Renae last saw Chloe, so the feeling seemed to be little more than wishful thinking. “My family thought I was crazy.” Renae says. But her mom realized there was a way to test it: Their Chloe had been micro- chipped (给动植物植入微型芯片) as a little dog. They found the ID number, and then Renae took their new Chloe to have a check. “The numbers were a match.” Renae says. “I felt so lucky.” After years of thinking she’d never see her dog again, Renae is happy to have her back. As for Chloe, “she’s made herself right at home,” Renae says. “And why shouldn’t she?” She knows that she’ll be with me forever.” 6．Why did the writer send Chloe to a society? A．Because she didn’t like it any more. B．Because her father hated the dog. C．Because the dog was sick. D．Because her father needed a quiet place to work. 7．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．Chloe had a loving new home after leaving Renae. B．The society offered to tell Renae something about Chloe. C．After Chloe being sent away, Renae still cared about her. D．The family was sure Chloe would live happily without them. 8．How old was Chloe when she was sent to the society? A．4 years old. B．5years old. C．6 years old. D．7 years old. 9．How did Renae know the new Chloe was their old pet? A．By reading the online post. B．By testing the new Chloe at home. C．By checking the microchip number. D．By getting in touch with the society. 10．What would be the best title for the text? A．A Gift from Grandma B．An Unforgettable Dog C．A Special Society D．A Perfect Match 18 Keys 【答案】6．D 7．C 8．A 9．C 10．D 【导语】本文讲述了Renae小时候因父亲工作需要将宠物狗Chloe送到协会，多年后又意外找回与Chloe相似且微芯片号码匹配的狗的故事，展现了人与宠物之间深厚的情感联系。 6．细节理解题。根据“But when Renae was 14, her father started to work from home, and the house needed to be quiet. ‘Chloe was yappy,’ Renae says. ‘I was just a kid, so I didn’t have any choice. I didn’t want to give up my dog. I felt so sad about it.’ The family sent Chloe to a society.”可知，因为父亲需要一个安静的工作环境，而Chloe很吵闹，所以家人把它送到了一个协会，故选D。 7．段落大意题。根据“I called the society to find out what happened…they couldn’t tell me anything.”可知，Renae把Chloe送走后，仍然关心它，想知道它的情况，故选C。 8．细节理解题。Renae在10岁时得到了Chloe，14岁时把它送走，所以Chloe 被送到协会时是4岁，故选A。 9．推理判断题。根据“They found the ID number, and then Renae took their new Chloe to have a check. ‘The numbers were a match.’ Renae says. ‘I felt so lucky.’”可知，Renae 通过检查新Chloe的微芯片号码，发现它与原来的Chloe号码匹配，从而知道它是自己的旧宠物，故选C。 10．最佳标题题。文章讲述了Renae小时候的宠物狗Chloe因为一些原因被送走，多年后Renae又遇到了一只与Chloe相似的狗，通过检查微芯片号码，发现它就是自己的旧宠物，这是一种完美的匹配，所以“A Perfect Match”最适合作为文章的标题，故选D。 19 Using I first saw the baby panda when she was only 10 days old.
