However, there are a lot of good sides of keeping a pet, too—it can add more family time you spend together, teach you to be responsible (有责任心的) and make everyone a little happier to come home. ②Before you ask your parents if you can keep a pet, you should plan what you say and do. Follow these steps: ③First, look for information about how to look after the kind of pet you want. Does it need lots of outdoor space? What about its eating habits? How much water does it need a day? The more you know about the pet, the more likely (可能地) your parents may agree. ④What’s more, your parents need time to think about it and it may take a week or longer. If they refuse, keep silent about it for a few days. ⑤Then, act maturely (成熟地) at home. Finish your homework carefully in time, do housework as much as possible, and keep the house clean. ⑥Last, find out the reason why they don’t let you have a pet. You may have an answer to their worry. Is it because that there isn't enough space? Start a clean-up! 26. What is NOT a good side of having a pet at home? A. Being happy. B. A lot of work. C. Family time. D. Being responsible. 27. According to Paragraph 3, you should ______ if you want to keep a pet.

How is the text organized?（①=Paragraph1, ②=Paragraph2,…） A. B. C. D. 【答案】26. B 27. B 28. D 29. C 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主介绍了让父母同意自己养宠物的方法。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, there are a lot of good sides of keeping a pet, too—it can add more family time you spend together, teach you to be responsible (有责任心的) and make everyone a little happier to come home.”可知，养宠物也有很多好的方面——它可以增加你们在一起的家庭时间，教会你负责任，让每个人回家都更开心。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“First, look for information about how to look after the kind of pet you want.”可知，如果你想养宠物，你应该找出如何照顾宠物的方法。故选B。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据前文“Before you ask your parents if you can keep a pet, you should plan what you say and do. Follow these steps:”和第四段中“What’s more, your parents need time to think about it and it may take a week or longer.”可知，下划线的单词“it”最有可能指的是前文提到的keep a pet，指的是你的父母需要时间来考虑养一只宠物，这可能需要一周或更长时间。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段内容“Then, act maturely (成熟地) at home. Finish your homework carefully in time, do housework as much as possible, and keep the house clean.”可知，然后，在家里表现成熟一点。按时认真完成作业，尽可能多做家务，保持家里整洁。结合选项可知，C选项比尔的行为“他的父母从不担心他的功课。”更能让父母同意他养宠物。故选C。 【30题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段主要讲述了父母不同意家里有宠物的原因和养宠物的好处；第二段主要引出问父母能不能养宠物之前，我们要计划好自己的言行；第三段到第六段分别讲述了问父母能不能养宠物之前，我们要计划好自己的言行的具体步骤。所以该文章的篇章结构为：①/②/③④⑤⑥，如B图所示。故选B。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Flu season is coming!
