Do you feed fruit to it? In fact, the health of a pet dog has something to do with what it eats. Right food is good for a dog’s health. So is right fruit. Fruit has vitamins and minerals (维生素和矿物质). They are important because they can help dogs stay healthy. So, people like to give all kinds of fruit to their dogs. Some fruit such as bananas, pears and strawberries is good for dogs. And the healthiest fruit to feed dogs is the watermelon. Dog owners must be careful when preparing fruit for their pet dogs. For example, if they want to feed them tomatoes, they should choose red and ripe (成熟的) ones, or the dogs may fall ill. And grapes do harm to dogs, so it’s never a good idea to give this kind of fruit to them. If they eat a lot of grapes, they may even die. “Remember to pick out seeds (籽) of fruit and cut big fruit into small pieces before feeding your dogs. It will be safer and easier for them to eat,” Dr Aziza Glass, an animal doctor from Houston, advised. Even with safe and healthy fruit, it’s important not to give too much to dogs at a time. Dog owners should follow the 90-10 rule. 90% of the dogs’ meals should be their common food, and 10% can be fruit and vegetables. More importantly, if your dog is ill, you’d better ask an animal doctor first before adding fruit to its food. 1．What is the best fruit for pet dogs? A．The strawberry. B．The grape. C．The tomato. D．The watermelon. 2．Which idea may Dr Aziza Glass agree with? A．To stay healthy, dogs need many vitamins and minerals. B．People should help pet dogs eat fruit easily and safely. C．People don’t need to choose fruit for their pet dogs. D．It’s a good idea to give pet dogs as much fruit as possible. 3．The last paragraph is mainly about ________. A．what fruit is good for dogs B．why fruit is important to dogs C．how much fruit a dog can have every day D．how dog owners talk with animal doctors 4．What is the purpose (目的) of this passage? A．To tell people to eat more fruit. B．To discuss why people keep pet dogs. C．To help people know more about dogs. D．To teach people how to feed fruit to pet dogs. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文介绍宠物狗的健康与它吃的东西有关，合适的水果对狗的健康有好处，接着介绍了适合狗吃的水果、喂狗水果时的注意事项等，整体围绕如何给狗喂水果展开。 1．细节理解题。根据“And the healthiest fruit to feed dogs is the watermelon.”可知，对宠物狗来说最健康的水果是西瓜。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Remember to pick out seeds of fruit and cut big fruit into small pieces before feeding your dogs. It will be safer and easier for them to eat”可知，他建议人们在喂狗吃水果前把水果籽挑出来，把大块水果切成小块，这样对狗来说更安全、更容易吃，即人们应该帮助宠物狗轻松且安全地吃水果。故选B。 3．主旨大意题。最后一段提到“Even with safe and healthy fruit, it’s important not to give too much to dogs at a time. Dog owners should follow the 90-10 rule. 90% of the dogs meals should be their common food, and 10% can be fruit and vegetables.”，强调了即使水果安全健康，也不能一次给狗吃太多，狗主人应遵循90-10规则，即狗的食物中90%应该是常见食物，10%可以是水果和蔬菜，主要说的是狗每天能吃多少水果。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。文章开篇指出宠物狗的健康与它吃的东西有关，合适的水果对狗的健康有好处，接着介绍了适合狗吃的水果、喂狗水果时的注意事项等，整体围绕如何给狗喂水果展开。故选D。 长难句解析① ①原句：（第三段第一句）Dog owners must be careful when preparing fruit for their pet dogs. 译文：养狗的人在给宠物狗准备水果时一定要小心。 分析： 本句是复合句。主句是Dog owners must be careful，为主系表结构，Dog owners是主语，must be是系动词，careful是表语；when preparing fruit for their pet dogs是时间状语从句的省略形式，完整形式是when they are preparing fruit for their pet dogs 。 长难句解析① ①原句：（第三段第五句）Remember to pick out seeds of fruit and cut big fruit into small pieces before feeding your dogs. 译文：记得在喂你的狗之前把水果籽挑出来，把大水果切成小块。 分析：本句是祈使句。Remember是谓语动词，to pick out seeds of fruit and cut big fruit into small pieces是不定式短语作宾语，其中pick out和cut由and连接，构成并列关系；before feeding your dogs是时间状语，是时间状语从句的省略形式，完整形式是before you feed your dogs 。 译文 你通常给宠物狗喂什么？会喂水果吗？其实，宠物狗的健康与其饮食有关。合适的食物对狗健康有益，合适的水果也一样。 水果含维生素和矿物质，这些很重要，能帮狗狗保持健康。所以人们喜欢给狗喂各种水果，香蕉、梨、草莓等对狗有益，西瓜是最健康的选择。 狗主人给狗准备水果时需谨慎。比如喂西红柿要选成熟的红色品种，否则狗可能生病；葡萄对狗有害，绝不能喂，大量食用甚至会致其死亡。休斯顿动物医生阿齐扎・格拉斯建议：“喂食前记得挑出果籽，把大块水果切块，这样狗吃起来更安全、方便。” 即便水果安全健康，也不能一次喂太多。狗主人应遵循 “90-10” 原则：90% 食物为常规主食，10% 为水果和蔬菜。更重要的是，狗生病时，添加水果前最好先咨询兽医。 核心词汇和短语归纳 vitamin /ˈvɪtəmɪn/n. 维生素 mineral /ˈmɪnərəl/n. 矿物质 watermelon /ˈwɔːtəmelən/n. 西瓜 ripe /raɪp/adj. 成熟的 harm /hɑːm/v. 伤害；损害 seed /siːd/n. 籽；种子 advise /ədˈvaɪz/v. 建议；劝告 common /ˈkɒmən/adj. 常见的；普通的 have something to do with 与…… 有关 be good for 对…… 有益 such as 例如 do harm to 对…… 有害 pick out 挑出；选出 cut...into small pieces 把…… 切成小块 at a time 一次 follow the rule 遵循规则 Passage B Hi, I’m Fu Zai, a 6-month-old corgi (柯基). I’m China’s first corgi police dog! Some people think I can’t be a great police dog because of my short legs. But I’m here to tell you that they are not right! I was a pet dog. One day, when I was 2 months old, I was playing with my owner (主人) in the park. A policeman saw me and thought I had the talent (天赋) to be a police dog. Then, I started my lessons and met my trainer (教练员). He is really nice and handsome. I learned a lot from him. To be a police dog is not quite easy. Every day, I take classes in the morning and afternoon. As police dogs, we need to take lots of classes and tests. We have to learn a lot of different things, such as listening to orders, fighting and crossing many obstacles (障碍物). I also learn cool things like how to use my nose to find out drugs (毒品) and other dangerous things. After three to six months of lessons, we need to be excellent and strong. My short legs make me different! I can go under cars or get into small places and look for things easily. Big dogs can’t do this but I can! My only problem is that I can’t run very fast. When we are outside doing our job, sometimes my trainer gives me a special ride. He needs to put me on his back and I can see things in a different way. It’s one of my favorite things of the job! 1．How old was Fu Zai when a policeman saw him in the park? A．Two months old. B．Four months old. C．Six months old. D．One year old. 2．What doesn’t a police dog need to learn according to the text? A．To listen to orders. B．To fight and cross many obstacles. C．To use the nose to find out drugs. D．To run fast under cars. 3．What can we learn from the text? A．Pet dogs can’t be police dogs. B．We only need talent to be police dogs. C．It is easy to learn a lot of different things when we are young. D．Sometimes disadvantages (缺点) can become good things for us. 4．What can be the best title of the text? A．Corgis Are Our Best Friends B．Police Dogs’ Living Habits C．China’s First Corgi Police Dog D．My Favorite Job 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了中国第一只柯基警犬福仔的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据文中“One day, when I was 2 months old, I was playing with my owner (主人) in the park. A policeman saw me and thought I had the talent (天赋) to be a police dog.”可知，当福仔两个月大的时候，一名警察看到了他，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文中“We have to learn a lot of different things, such as listening to orders, fighting and crossing many obstacles (障碍物). I also learn cool things like how to use my nose to find out drugs (毒品) and other dangerous things.”可知，警犬必须学习很多不同的东西，比如听从指令、格斗和跨越许多障碍物，如何用鼻子找出毒品和其他危险物品，文章中没有提到学习在车下快速奔跑，故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文中“My short legs make me different! I can go under cars or get into small places and look for things easily. Big dogs can’t do this but I can!”可知，福仔的短腿让他与众不同，他可以很容易地到车底下或者进入小地方寻找东西，大狗做不到这一点，由此可推断出有时候缺点能变成对我们有好处的事，故选D。 4．最佳标题题。文章围绕中国第一只柯基警犬福仔展开，讲述它的经历等，所以“中国第一只柯基警犬”最适合作为标题，故选C。 长难句解析 ①原句：（第二段第二句）One day, when I was 2 months old, I was playing with my owner (主人) in the park. 译文：有一天，当我两个月大的时候，我正在公园里和我的主人一起玩耍。 分析：这是一个主从复合句。One day是时间状语，when I was 2 months old是时间状语从句，其中when是引导词，I是从句主语，was是系动词，2 months old是表语；主句是I was playing with my owner in the park，这是过去进行时结构，I是主语，was playing是谓语，with my owner是伴随状语，in the park是地点状语。 译文 嗨，我叫福仔，是只6个月大的柯基犬，也是中国首只柯基警犬！有些人因我腿短，认为我成不了优秀警犬。但我要在这告诉大家，他们错了！ 我曾是宠物狗。2个月大时，某天和主人在公园玩，一位警察看到我，认为我有当警犬的天赋。之后我开始训练，遇到了教练员，他人好又帅气，我从他那学到很多。 当警犬并不容易。我每天上午、下午都要上课，警犬需参加大量课程和测试，要学听从指令、格斗、跨障碍物等技能，还得学用鼻子找毒品等危险物品。经过3-6个月训练，我们要变得优秀且强壮。 我的短腿让我与众不同！我能轻松钻到车下或进入狭小空间找东西，大狗做不到。我唯一的问题是跑不快，外出执行任务时，教练员有时会背我，让我换个视角观察，这是我工作中最爱的事之一！ 核心词汇和短语归纳 talent /ˈtælənt/n. 天赋；才能 trainer /ˈtreɪnə(r)/n. 教练员；训练师 order /ˈɔːdə(r)/n. 指令；命令 fight /faɪt/v. 格斗；搏斗 obstacle /ˈɒbstəkl/n. 障碍物 drug /drʌɡ/n. 毒品；药物 dangerous /ˈdeɪndʒərəs/adj. 危险的 because of 因为；由于 start lessons 开始课程 learn a lot from 从…… 学到很多 take classes 上课 such as 例如 cross obstacles 跨越障碍物 find out 找出；发现 different from 与…… 不同 look for 寻找 实战演练 真题示例 Passage A （2024·安徽·中考真题）Pets aren’t just a fun member of the family.

Her world has always been silent. Alone in a town in England, she often felt lonely. Then one day in April in 2021, something stopped Moss as she read the local newspaper. It was a photo of a tiny black-and-white cat. A family was looking for a home for their last newborn cat. Moss fell in love with it at first sight and contacted the family. Soon, the cat came to Moss’s house. Moss called the cat Zebby because his colors looked like those of a zebra. Moss once heard of studies showing that pets can help people deal with loneliness. However, she had no idea that Zebby would become her helper and her ears. From their first night together, Zebby has slept next to her. When he hears noises in the dark, he jumps up. “He became my night watch cat,” Moss said. “Sometimes he would run around the room until I woke up.” After several weeks, Moss noticed that whenever her phone rang or someone knocked at the door, Zebby would touch her lightly. It wasn’t long before the cat took on another task: collecting Moss’s mail. Now whenever he hears the mailbox being opened, he runs towards it, carries the mail in his mouth and drops it at Moss’s feet. This past May, Zebby was named Britain’s National Cat of the Year by Cats Protection. According to the largest cat charity, Zebby beat out about 3,000 other cats because of the many ways he makes Moss’s life easier. He has had no training at all, but his natural abilities seem to have told him that his owner needs his help. “Zebby has made my house a home,” Moss said. “I can hardly imagine not having Zebby in my life now.” 1．Why did Moss choose the cat? A．Because she liked it when she saw its photo. B．Because she wished to have a helping ear. C．Because she wanted to help a local family. D．Because she planned to study pet animals. 2．What do the underlined words “beat out” probably mean in Paragraph 5? A．Looked prettier than. B．Was quieter than. C．Felt softer than. D．Did better than. 3．What is the best title for the passage? A．Moss trains Zebby for the prize B．Zebby brings help and joy to Moss C．Moss takes good care of Zebby D．Zebby finds itself a warm home 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文讲述了Moss患有严重的听力损失，她的世界一片寂静，但小猫Zebby的到来，不仅让她不再感到孤单，而且在很多方面让她生活得更轻松。 1．细节理解题。根据“Moss fell in love with it at first sight and contacted the family.”可知，Moss在报纸上看到猫的照片的第一眼就喜欢上它。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Zebby beat out about 3,000 other cats because of the many ways he makes Moss’s life easier”可知，Zebby在很多方面让它的主人Moss生活得更轻松，因此此处指它比3000多只猫都做得要好；“beat out”表示“比……做得更好”。故选D。 3．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了Moss患有严重的听力损失，她的世界一片寂静，但小猫Zebby的到来，不仅让她不再感到孤单，而且在很多方面让她生活得更轻松。结合选项，B选项“Zebby给Moss带来了帮助和快乐”符合文意。故选B。 长难句解析① ①原句：（第三段第一句）Moss once heard of studies showing that pets can help people deal with loneliness. 译文：莫斯曾经听说过一些研究，这些研究表明宠物可以帮助人们应对孤独。 分析：本句中Moss是主语，once是时间状语，heard of是谓语动词，studies是宾语。showing that pets can help people deal with loneliness是现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰studies；其中that pets can help people deal with loneliness是宾语从句，作showing的宾语，该宾语从句中pets是主语，can help是谓语，people是宾语，deal with loneliness是省略to的不定式作宾语补足语。 长难句解析② ①原句：According to the largest cat charity, Zebby beat out about 3,000 other cats because of the many ways he makes Moss’s life easier. 译文：据最大的猫咪慈善机构称，泽比因为在很多方面让莫斯的生活更轻松而击败了大约3000只其他猫咪。 分析：According to the largest cat charity是状语，Zebby是主语，beat out是谓语，about 3,000 other cats是宾语。because of the many ways...是原因状语，其中he makes Moss’s life easier是定语从句，修饰ways，在这个定语从句中he是主语，makes是谓语，Moss’s life是宾语，easier是宾语补足语。 译文 吉纳维芙·莫斯患有严重的听力损失。她的世界一直寂静无声。独自生活在英格兰的一个小镇上，她常常感到孤独。 2021年4月的一天，莫斯在看当地报纸时被一则内容吸引住了。那是一张黑白相间的小猫的照片。有一家人正在为他们最后一只刚出生的小猫寻找一个新家。莫斯一眼就爱上了它，并联系了这家人。很快，小猫就来到了莫斯家。莫斯给它取名为泽比，因为它身上的颜色看起来像斑马的颜色。 莫斯曾听说过研究表明宠物可以帮助人们应对孤独。然而，她没想到泽比会成为她的帮手和她的“耳朵”。从它们一起度过的第一个晚上起，泽比就睡在她旁边。当它在黑暗中听到声音时，就会跳起来。“它成了我的夜间守护猫，”莫斯说，“有时它会在房间里跑来跑去，直到我醒来。” 几周后，莫斯注意到每当她的电话响起或有人敲门时，泽比都会轻轻碰她一下。不久后，这只猫又承担起了另一项任务：帮莫斯取邮件。现在，每当它听到邮箱被打开的声音，就会跑过去，用嘴叼起邮件，然后把邮件放在莫斯的脚边。 今年5月，泽比被猫咪保护组织评为英国年度最佳猫咪。据这个最大的猫咪慈善机构称，泽比击败了大约3000只其他猫咪，因为它在很多方面让莫斯的生活变得更轻松。它完全没有接受过训练，但它的本能似乎告诉它，它的主人需要它的帮助。 “泽比让我的房子成了一个家，”莫斯说，“我现在很难想象生活中没有泽比会是什么样。” 核心词汇和短语归纳 ・hearing loss /ˈhɪərɪŋ lɒs/n. 听力损失；失聪 ・newborn /ˈnjuːbɔːn/adj. 新生的 n. 新生儿；新生小动物 ・contact /ˈkɒntækt/v. 联系 n. 联系；接触 ・zebra /ˈzebrə/n. 斑马 ・loneliness /ˈləʊnlinəs/n. 孤独；孤单 ・noise /nɔɪz/n. 声音；噪音 ・knock /nɒk/v. 敲；击打 n. 敲门声 ・task /tɑːsk/n. 任务；工作 ・mailbox /ˈmeɪlbɒks/n. 邮箱；邮筒 ・charity /ˈtʃærəti/n. 慈善机构；慈善事业 ・beat out /biːt aʊt/v. 击败；胜过 ・natural /ˈnætʃrəl/adj. 天生的；自然的 ・ability /əˈbɪləti/n. 能力；才能 ・fall in love with 一见钟情；爱上 ・make contact with 与…… 取得联系 ・take on a task 承担一项任务 ・knock at the door 敲门 ・make a noise 制造噪音 ・open the mailbox 打开邮箱 ・charity organization 慈善组织 ・natural ability 天生能力 ・have the ability to do sth. 有能力做某事 Passage A （25-26八年级上·广东广州·阶段检测）In 2014, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband, Joe, were united because they wanted a dog, Misty. And they promised to walk her 1 . But from the second day, neither thought to walk the dog again. I was slow to accept that I would be the one to feed and 2 her. Quickly, she and I developed something 3 . She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, and then wait, 4 I would understand her, which I almost always did. Even so, part of me continued to hate the walking duty Joe and Becky had 5 to carry out. It nearly drove me mad. “Not fair!” I’d loudly told everyone I knew. On January 1, 2017, Joe’s doctor said an unthinkable word—leukemia (白血病). With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with him in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to 6 his discomfort. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old life remained. Save one—Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when my friends wanted to help walk her, I 7 because I knew they were busy.

But do you go on a trip with your pet? Pets now become an important part of people’s daily lives. A report said that the number of people raising cats and dogs in cities in China reached 68.44 million four years ago. So more and more people are choosing to travel with their pets. Wei Ren, a 29-year-old man from Hangzhou, takes a trip with his pet dog twice a month. He joined a WeChat group of local (当地的) pet dog owners a year ago. “We often take our dogs to the countryside. They enjoy running and playing in the fields and along clear rivers. It feels much better to walk the dog in quiet places with fresh air and a beautiful environment than in a big city,” said Wei. When he travels with his dog, Wei also notices an interesting thing — just like people, pets have different personalities (性格) too. Some are active and like to make friends, while others are shy and prefer to stay alone. “As pet owners, we enjoy talking about our pet-keeping experiences. It’s also interesting to hear people share their different life stories. We make more friends because of these meetings,” he said. A number of hotels start to provide pet services. They hope pets can enjoy themselves there. Are you interested in travelling with pets? Take your pet and start out right now! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By sharing a piece of news. D．By giving some numbers. 2．What can we know about Wei Ren? A．He travels with his dog twice a week. B．He started a WeChat group for local pet dog owners. C．He thinks it’s more interesting to walk the dog in a big city. D．He enjoys listening to life stories from different pet dog owners. 3．Why do many hotels give pet services? A．Because the pet owners ask them to do it. B．Because they enjoy keeping pets in everyday life. C．Because they want pets to have a good time there. D．Because they want to make more money than other hotels. 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Travelling with Pets B．How to Travel in the City C．Different Personalities of Pets D．The Best Ways of Keeping Pets 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文介绍了越来越多的人选择带宠物旅行，并以魏仁为例说明了这种趋势的好处。 1．细节理解题。根据“But do you go on a trip with your pet?”可知，作者通过提问开始文章。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“We make more friends because of these meetings... It’s also interesting to hear people share their different life stories.”可知，魏仁喜欢听不同宠物主人分享生活故事。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“A number of hotels start to provide pet services. They hope pets can enjoy themselves there.”可知，许多酒店提供宠物服务是因为他们希望宠物玩得开心。故选C。 4．标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了带宠物旅行的趋势及其好处，因此最佳标题是“带宠物旅行”。故选A。 Passage C If you own a dog, you’ve probably seen it yawn (打哈欠) a lot. Dog yawning is cute, but why do dogs yawn? Dogs yawn mainly when they are tired, though scientists still haven’t fully understood why yawning happens. “Yawning helps relax face muscles (肌肉) and wake up tired dogs,” says Dr. Katy Nelson, a doctor of an animal hospital. At the same time, yawning increases blood flow in the head, neck, and face. By sending more oxygen to the brain, yawning helps keep a clearer mind. Dogs also yawn when they are worried, scared or excited. When two dogs meet in the street and one of them yawns, that is a friendly greeting signal (信号). It is sent to show the other dog that “I want to make friends with you”. In this case, yawning is much the same as a handshake of humans. Dogs’ yawning can mean other things as well, like good relationships between dogs and their owners. Some studies have shown that dogs can “catch” yawns from people who they feel close to. That is to say, when the owners yawn, the dogs will yawn, too. Finding out why dogs’ yawning can help us understand their body conditions and feelings so that we can take better care of them. 1．According to Paragraph 2, what is good about dogs’ yawning? A．It helps dogs feel less worried or scared. B．It wakes up dogs naturally in the morning. C．It produces oxygen to help the brain work. D．It relaxes muscles and increases blood flow. 2．What does “It” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．Another dog. B．A handshake. C．Greeting signal. D．The dogs’ feelings. 3．Which “catch” below means the same as the one in Paragraph 4? A．The dog tried to catch the ball but failed. B．I run quickly to catch the bus with my dog. C．My dogs catch my feelings and also become excited. D．The owners catch the dog digging holes in the garden. 4．Which is the correct structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍狗狗打哈欠的原因及意义。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Yawning helps relax face muscles (肌肉) and wake up tired dogs,”以及“yawning increases blood flow in the head, neck, and face.”可知，狗打哈欠的好处是能放松肌肉并增加血流量。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“that is a friendly greeting signal (信号). It is sent to show the other dog that ‘I want to make friends with you’.”可知，这里的“It”指代前文提到的“a friendly greeting signal”，即这种友好的问候信号被用来向另一只狗表示想交朋友。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Some studies have shown that dogs can ‘catch’ yawns from people who they feel close to.”可知，“catch”意为“感染，模仿”，指狗会模仿亲近的人的哈欠。C选项“我的狗能察觉到我的情绪，也会变得兴奋”符合题意，“catch”同样表示“感受到，受影响而模仿”，与原文意思一致。故选C。 4．篇章结构题。文章第一段提出问题“why do dogs yawn?” (为什么狗会打哈欠?)；第二、三、四段分别从狗疲劳时、情绪波动时以及与主人的关系等方面阐述狗打哈欠的原因；最后一段说明了解狗打哈欠的原因的意义。结构为“总—分—总”。故选D。 Passage D （24-25八年级上·辽宁沈阳·期中）Dog TV, the first television channel (频道) for dogs, appeared in America in 2012. Now, it is available (可用的) in 14 countries, including Australia, China, France, the UK, etc. Dog TV goes on the 24th of July. Its service costs $9.99 a month. If you order a yearly service, it will save you about $3.74 each month. Believe it or not, Dog TV didn’t start as a TV channel for dogs. The idea for Pet TV came from Ron Levi. To let his cat Charlie have fun while he was out. Ron did some research and began to work with scientists and pet experts to bring his idea to life. To their surprise, dogs showed more interest in different kinds of programs than cats. Pet TV finally became Dog TV. Dog TV was developed to entertain and comfort stay-at-home dogs. It provides relaxing video and music for dogs. Each program is about 3 to 6 minutes. The  programs are different from time to time during the day. In the morning, programs are to get dogs out of bed and moving for the day. In the middle of the day, programs are to calm dogs while they are home alone. For dogs scared of things like cars or loud noises, Dog TV has special programs with pictures and sounds to help them get used to the things they fear. The channel even has educational programs on health and training. A lot of thought goes into the making of every Dog TV program. Dog TV turned to animal experts to create suitable shows for dogs’ seeing and hearing. Dogs are color-blind (色盲的). They can only see blue and yellow, and they can’t see red or green. So the Dog TV show might sound and look a little different to people’s ear and eye. But don’t worry. Dog TV also has programs for pet parents, too. 1．How much may it cost a month to order one year’s service at a time? A．$3.74 B．$6.25 C．$9.99 D．$13.73 2．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．How Dog TV started B．The programs of Dog TV C．The hard work behind Dog TV D．Where people can watch Dog TV 3．Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Dog TV’s programs? A．Morning programs can wake up the dogs. B．Midday programs can make the dogs quiet. C．They are all about video and music for dogs to relax. D．Special programs can make dogs get used to things they fear. 4．What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph? A．Why dogs are color-blind. B．The future plan of Dog TV. C．The programs for pet owners. D．How Dog TV programs are made. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了专为狗狗打造的电视频道Dog TV。 1．细节理解题。根据“ Its service costs $ 9.99 a month. If you order a yearly service, it will save you about $ 3.74 each month.” 可知，按月订购是9.99美元，年订每月可省3.74美元，因此年订每月费用是9.99-3.74=6.25美元。故选B。 2．主旨大意题。根据“Dog TV didn’t start as a TV channel for dogs”可知，第二段主要讲述了Dog TV的起源，从最初为猫设计的Pet TV，因狗的兴趣更高而转变为Dog TV。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Dog TV was developed to entertain and comfort stay-at-home dogs. It provides relaxing video and music.”，以及“The channel even has educational programs on health and training.”可知，Dog TV 不仅有放松的视频和音乐，还有健康和训练的教育节目，并非“所有节目都是关于让狗狗放松的视频和音乐”。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“Dog TV also has programs for pet parents, too.”可知，最后一段提到了为宠物主人准备的节目，因此接下来可能会介绍这些针对宠物主人的节目。故选C。 Passage E Pets and Their People By Jess French Do you have a pet?

Do you feed fruit to it? In fact, the health of a pet dog has something to do with what it eats. Right food is good for a dog’s health. So is right fruit. Fruit has vitamins and minerals (维生素和矿物质). They are important because they can help dogs stay healthy. So, people like to give all kinds of fruit to their dogs. Some fruit such as bananas, pears and strawberries is good for dogs. And the healthiest fruit to feed dogs is the watermelon. Dog owners must be careful when preparing fruit for their pet dogs. For example, if they want to feed them tomatoes, they should choose red and ripe (成熟的) ones, or the dogs may fall ill. And grapes do harm to dogs, so it’s never a good idea to give this kind of fruit to them. If they eat a lot of grapes, they may even die. “Remember to pick out seeds (籽) of fruit and cut big fruit into small pieces before feeding your dogs. It will be safer and easier for them to eat,” Dr Aziza Glass, an animal doctor from Houston, advised. Even with safe and healthy fruit, it’s important not to give too much to dogs at a time. Dog owners should follow the 90-10 rule. 90% of the dogs’ meals should be their common food, and 10% can be fruit and vegetables. More importantly, if your dog is ill, you’d better ask an animal doctor first before adding fruit to its food. 1．What is the best fruit for pet dogs? A．The strawberry. B．The grape. C．The tomato. D．The watermelon. 2．Which idea may Dr Aziza Glass agree with? A．To stay healthy, dogs need many vitamins and minerals. B．People should help pet dogs eat fruit easily and safely. C．People don’t need to choose fruit for their pet dogs. D．It’s a good idea to give pet dogs as much fruit as possible. 3．The last paragraph is mainly about ________. A．what fruit is good for dogs B．why fruit is important to dogs C．how much fruit a dog can have every day D．how dog owners talk with animal doctors 4．What is the purpose (目的) of this passage? A．To tell people to eat more fruit. B．To discuss why people keep pet dogs. C．To help people know more about dogs. D．To teach people how to feed fruit to pet dogs. 长难句解析① ①原句：（第三段第一句）Dog owners must be careful when preparing fruit for their pet dogs. 译文：养狗的人在给宠物狗准备水果时一定要小心。 分析： 本句是复合句。主句是Dog owners must be careful，为主系表结构，Dog owners是主语，must be是系动词，careful是表语；when preparing fruit for their pet dogs是时间状语从句的省略形式，完整形式是when they are preparing fruit for their pet dogs 。 长难句解析① ①原句：（第三段第五句）Remember to pick out seeds of fruit and cut big fruit into small pieces before feeding your dogs. 译文：记得在喂你的狗之前把水果籽挑出来，把大水果切成小块。 分析：本句是祈使句。Remember是谓语动词，to pick out seeds of fruit and cut big fruit into small pieces是不定式短语作宾语，其中pick out和cut由and连接，构成并列关系；before feeding your dogs是时间状语，是时间状语从句的省略形式，完整形式是before you feed your dogs 。 译文 你通常给宠物狗喂什么？会喂水果吗？其实，宠物狗的健康与其饮食有关。合适的食物对狗健康有益，合适的水果也一样。 水果含维生素和矿物质，这些很重要，能帮狗狗保持健康。所以人们喜欢给狗喂各种水果，香蕉、梨、草莓等对狗有益，西瓜是最健康的选择。 狗主人给狗准备水果时需谨慎。比如喂西红柿要选成熟的红色品种，否则狗可能生病；葡萄对狗有害，绝不能喂，大量食用甚至会致其死亡。休斯顿动物医生阿齐扎・格拉斯建议：“喂食前记得挑出果籽，把大块水果切块，这样狗吃起来更安全、方便。” 即便水果安全健康，也不能一次喂太多。狗主人应遵循 “90-10” 原则：90% 食物为常规主食，10% 为水果和蔬菜。更重要的是，狗生病时，添加水果前最好先咨询兽医。 核心词汇和短语归纳 vitamin /ˈvɪtəmɪn/n. 维生素 mineral /ˈmɪnərəl/n. 矿物质 watermelon /ˈwɔːtəmelən/n. 西瓜 ripe /raɪp/adj. 成熟的 harm /hɑːm/v. 伤害；损害 seed /siːd/n. 籽；种子 advise /ədˈvaɪz/v. 建议；劝告 common /ˈkɒmən/adj. 常见的；普通的 have something to do with 与…… 有关 be good for 对…… 有益 such as 例如 do harm to 对…… 有害 pick out 挑出；选出 cut...into small pieces 把…… 切成小块 at a time 一次 follow the rule 遵循规则 Passage B Hi, I’m Fu Zai, a 6-month-old corgi (柯基). I’m China’s first corgi police dog! Some people think I can’t be a great police dog because of my short legs. But I’m here to tell you that they are not right! I was a pet dog. One day, when I was 2 months old, I was playing with my owner (主人) in the park. A policeman saw me and thought I had the talent (天赋) to be a police dog. Then, I started my lessons and met my trainer (教练员). He is really nice and handsome. I learned a lot from him. To be a police dog is not quite easy. Every day, I take classes in the morning and afternoon. As police dogs, we need to take lots of classes and tests. We have to learn a lot of different things, such as listening to orders, fighting and crossing many obstacles (障碍物). I also learn cool things like how to use my nose to find out drugs (毒品) and other dangerous things. After three to six months of lessons, we need to be excellent and strong. My short legs make me different! I can go under cars or get into small places and look for things easily. Big dogs can’t do this but I can! My only problem is that I can’t run very fast. When we are outside doing our job, sometimes my trainer gives me a special ride. He needs to put me on his back and I can see things in a different way. It’s one of my favorite things of the job! 1．How old was Fu Zai when a policeman saw him in the park? A．Two months old. B．Four months old. C．Six months old.

C．It is easy to learn a lot of different things when we are young. D．Sometimes disadvantages (缺点) can become good things for us. 4．What can be the best title of the text? A．Corgis Are Our Best Friends B．Police Dogs’ Living Habits C．China’s First Corgi Police Dog D．My Favorite Job 长难句解析 ①原句：（第二段第二句）One day, when I was 2 months old, I was playing with my owner (主人) in the park. 译文：有一天，当我两个月大的时候，我正在公园里和我的主人一起玩耍。 分析：这是一个主从复合句。One day是时间状语，when I was 2 months old是时间状语从句，其中when是引导词，I是从句主语，was是系动词，2 months old是表语；主句是I was playing with my owner in the park，这是过去进行时结构，I是主语，was playing是谓语，with my owner是伴随状语，in the park是地点状语。 译文 嗨，我叫福仔，是只6个月大的柯基犬，也是中国首只柯基警犬！有些人因我腿短，认为我成不了优秀警犬。但我要在这告诉大家，他们错了！ 我曾是宠物狗。2个月大时，某天和主人在公园玩，一位警察看到我，认为我有当警犬的天赋。之后我开始训练，遇到了教练员，他人好又帅气，我从他那学到很多。 当警犬并不容易。我每天上午、下午都要上课，警犬需参加大量课程和测试，要学听从指令、格斗、跨障碍物等技能，还得学用鼻子找毒品等危险物品。经过3-6个月训练，我们要变得优秀且强壮。 我的短腿让我与众不同！我能轻松钻到车下或进入狭小空间找东西，大狗做不到。我唯一的问题是跑不快，外出执行任务时，教练员有时会背我，让我换个视角观察，这是我工作中最爱的事之一！ 核心词汇和短语归纳 talent /ˈtælənt/n. 天赋；才能 trainer /ˈtreɪnə(r)/n. 教练员；训练师 order /ˈɔːdə(r)/n. 指令；命令 fight /faɪt/v. 格斗；搏斗 obstacle /ˈɒbstəkl/n. 障碍物 drug /drʌɡ/n. 毒品；药物 dangerous /ˈdeɪndʒərəs/adj. 危险的 because of 因为；由于 start lessons 开始课程 learn a lot from 从…… 学到很多 take classes 上课 such as 例如 cross obstacles 跨越障碍物 find out 找出；发现 different from 与…… 不同 look for 寻找 实战演练 真题示例 Passage A （2024·安徽·中考真题）Pets aren’t just a fun member of the family.

Her world has always been silent. Alone in a town in England, she often felt lonely. Then one day in April in 2021, something stopped Moss as she read the local newspaper. It was a photo of a tiny black-and-white cat. A family was looking for a home for their last newborn cat. Moss fell in love with it at first sight and contacted the family. Soon, the cat came to Moss’s house. Moss called the cat Zebby because his colors looked like those of a zebra. Moss once heard of studies showing that pets can help people deal with loneliness. However, she had no idea that Zebby would become her helper and her ears. From their first night together, Zebby has slept next to her. When he hears noises in the dark, he jumps up. “He became my night watch cat,” Moss said. “Sometimes he would run around the room until I woke up.” After several weeks, Moss noticed that whenever her phone rang or someone knocked at the door, Zebby would touch her lightly. It wasn’t long before the cat took on another task: collecting Moss’s mail. Now whenever he hears the mailbox being opened, he runs towards it, carries the mail in his mouth and drops it at Moss’s feet. This past May, Zebby was named Britain’s National Cat of the Year by Cats Protection. According to the largest cat charity, Zebby beat out about 3,000 other cats because of the many ways he makes Moss’s life easier. He has had no training at all, but his natural abilities seem to have told him that his owner needs his help. “Zebby has made my house a home,” Moss said. “I can hardly imagine not having Zebby in my life now.” 1．Why did Moss choose the cat? A．Because she liked it when she saw its photo. B．Because she wished to have a helping ear. C．Because she wanted to help a local family. D．Because she planned to study pet animals. 2．What do the underlined words “beat out” probably mean in Paragraph 5? A．Looked prettier than. B．Was quieter than. C．Felt softer than. D．Did better than. 3．What is the best title for the passage? A．Moss trains Zebby for the prize B．Zebby brings help and joy to Moss C．Moss takes good care of Zebby D．Zebby finds itself a warm home 长难句解析① ①原句：（第三段第一句）Moss once heard of studies showing that pets can help people deal with loneliness. 译文：莫斯曾经听说过一些研究，这些研究表明宠物可以帮助人们应对孤独。 分析：本句中Moss是主语，once是时间状语，heard of是谓语动词，studies是宾语。showing that pets can help people deal with loneliness是现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰studies；其中that pets can help people deal with loneliness是宾语从句，作showing的宾语，该宾语从句中pets是主语，can help是谓语，people是宾语，deal with loneliness是省略to的不定式作宾语补足语。 长难句解析② ①原句：According to the largest cat charity, Zebby beat out about 3,000 other cats because of the many ways he makes Moss’s life easier. 译文：据最大的猫咪慈善机构称，泽比因为在很多方面让莫斯的生活更轻松而击败了大约3000只其他猫咪。 分析：According to the largest cat charity是状语，Zebby是主语，beat out是谓语，about 3,000 other cats是宾语。because of the many ways...是原因状语，其中he makes Moss’s life easier是定语从句，修饰ways，在这个定语从句中he是主语，makes是谓语，Moss’s life是宾语，easier是宾语补足语。 译文 吉纳维芙·莫斯患有严重的听力损失。她的世界一直寂静无声。独自生活在英格兰的一个小镇上，她常常感到孤独。 2021年4月的一天，莫斯在看当地报纸时被一则内容吸引住了。那是一张黑白相间的小猫的照片。有一家人正在为他们最后一只刚出生的小猫寻找一个新家。莫斯一眼就爱上了它，并联系了这家人。很快，小猫就来到了莫斯家。莫斯给它取名为泽比，因为它身上的颜色看起来像斑马的颜色。 莫斯曾听说过研究表明宠物可以帮助人们应对孤独。然而，她没想到泽比会成为她的帮手和她的“耳朵”。从它们一起度过的第一个晚上起，泽比就睡在她旁边。当它在黑暗中听到声音时，就会跳起来。“它成了我的夜间守护猫，”莫斯说，“有时它会在房间里跑来跑去，直到我醒来。” 几周后，莫斯注意到每当她的电话响起或有人敲门时，泽比都会轻轻碰她一下。不久后，这只猫又承担起了另一项任务：帮莫斯取邮件。现在，每当它听到邮箱被打开的声音，就会跑过去，用嘴叼起邮件，然后把邮件放在莫斯的脚边。 今年5月，泽比被猫咪保护组织评为英国年度最佳猫咪。据这个最大的猫咪慈善机构称，泽比击败了大约3000只其他猫咪，因为它在很多方面让莫斯的生活变得更轻松。它完全没有接受过训练，但它的本能似乎告诉它，它的主人需要它的帮助。 “泽比让我的房子成了一个家，”莫斯说，“我现在很难想象生活中没有泽比会是什么样。” 核心词汇和短语归纳 ・hearing loss /ˈhɪərɪŋ lɒs/n. 听力损失；失聪 ・newborn /ˈnjuːbɔːn/adj. 新生的 n. 新生儿；新生小动物 ・contact /ˈkɒntækt/v. 联系 n. 联系；接触 ・zebra /ˈzebrə/n. 斑马 ・loneliness /ˈləʊnlinəs/n. 孤独；孤单 ・noise /nɔɪz/n. 声音；噪音 ・knock /nɒk/v. 敲；击打 n. 敲门声 ・task /tɑːsk/n. 任务；工作 ・mailbox /ˈmeɪlbɒks/n. 邮箱；邮筒 ・charity /ˈtʃærəti/n. 慈善机构；慈善事业 ・beat out /biːt aʊt/v. 击败；胜过 ・natural /ˈnætʃrəl/adj. 天生的；自然的 ・ability /əˈbɪləti/n. 能力；才能 ・fall in love with 一见钟情；爱上 ・make contact with 与…… 取得联系 ・take on a task 承担一项任务 ・knock at the door 敲门 ・make a noise 制造噪音 ・open the mailbox 打开邮箱 ・charity organization 慈善组织 ・natural ability 天生能力 ・have the ability to do sth. 有能力做某事 Passage A （25-26八年级上·广东广州·阶段检测）In 2014, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband, Joe, were united because they wanted a dog, Misty. And they promised to walk her 1 . But from the second day, neither thought to walk the dog again. I was slow to accept that I would be the one to feed and 2 her. Quickly, she and I developed something 3 . She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, and then wait, 4 I would understand her, which I almost always did. Even so, part of me continued to hate the walking duty Joe and Becky had 5 to carry out. It nearly drove me mad. “Not fair!” I’d loudly told everyone I knew. On January 1, 2017, Joe’s doctor said an unthinkable word—leukemia (白血病). With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with him in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to 6 his discomfort. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old life remained. Save one—Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when my friends wanted to help walk her, I 7 because I knew they were busy. As months went by, I began to 8 that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to clear my head.

But do you go on a trip with your pet? Pets now become an important part of people’s daily lives. A report said that the number of people raising cats and dogs in cities in China reached 68.44 million four years ago. So more and more people are choosing to travel with their pets. Wei Ren, a 29-year-old man from Hangzhou, takes a trip with his pet dog twice a month. He joined a WeChat group of local (当地的) pet dog owners a year ago. “We often take our dogs to the countryside. They enjoy running and playing in the fields and along clear rivers. It feels much better to walk the dog in quiet places with fresh air and a beautiful environment than in a big city,” said Wei. When he travels with his dog, Wei also notices an interesting thing — just like people, pets have different personalities (性格) too. Some are active and like to make friends, while others are shy and prefer to stay alone. “As pet owners, we enjoy talking about our pet-keeping experiences. It’s also interesting to hear people share their different life stories. We make more friends because of these meetings,” he said. A number of hotels start to provide pet services. They hope pets can enjoy themselves there. Are you interested in travelling with pets? Take your pet and start out right now! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By sharing a piece of news. D．By giving some numbers. 2．What can we know about Wei Ren? A．He travels with his dog twice a week.

B．Because they enjoy keeping pets in everyday life. C．Because they want pets to have a good time there.

A．Travelling with Pets B．How to Travel in the City C．Different Personalities of Pets D．The Best Ways of Keeping Pets Passage C If you own a dog, you’ve probably seen it yawn (打哈欠) a lot. Dog yawning is cute, but why do dogs yawn? Dogs yawn mainly when they are tired, though scientists still haven’t fully understood why yawning happens. “Yawning helps relax face muscles (肌肉) and wake up tired dogs,” says Dr. Katy Nelson, a doctor of an animal hospital. At the same time, yawning increases blood flow in the head, neck, and face. By sending more oxygen to the brain, yawning helps keep a clearer mind. Dogs also yawn when they are worried, scared or excited. When two dogs meet in the street and one of them yawns, that is a friendly greeting signal (信号). It is sent to show the other dog that “I want to make friends with you”. In this case, yawning is much the same as a handshake of humans. Dogs’ yawning can mean other things as well, like good relationships between dogs and their owners. Some studies have shown that dogs can “catch” yawns from people who they feel close to. That is to say, when the owners yawn, the dogs will yawn, too. Finding out why dogs’ yawning can help us understand their body conditions and feelings so that we can take better care of them. 1．According to Paragraph 2, what is good about dogs’ yawning? A．It helps dogs feel less worried or scared. B．It wakes up dogs naturally in the morning. C．It produces oxygen to help the brain work. D．It relaxes muscles and increases blood flow. 2．What does “It” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．Another dog. B．A handshake. C．Greeting signal. D．The dogs’ feelings. 3．Which “catch” below means the same as the one in Paragraph 4? A．The dog tried to catch the ball but failed. B．I run quickly to catch the bus with my dog. C．My dogs catch my feelings and also become excited. D．The owners catch the dog digging holes in the garden. 4．Which is the correct structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Passage D （24-25八年级上·辽宁沈阳·期中）Dog TV, the first television channel (频道) for dogs, appeared in America in 2012. Now, it is available (可用的) in 14 countries, including Australia, China, France, the UK, etc. Dog TV goes on the 24th of July. Its service costs $9.99 a month. If you order a yearly service, it will save you about $3.74 each month. Believe it or not, Dog TV didn’t start as a TV channel for dogs. The idea for Pet TV came from Ron Levi. To let his cat Charlie have fun while he was out. Ron did some research and began to work with scientists and pet experts to bring his idea to life. To their surprise, dogs showed more interest in different kinds of programs than cats. Pet TV finally became Dog TV. Dog TV was developed to entertain and comfort stay-at-home dogs. It provides relaxing video and music for dogs. Each program is about 3 to 6 minutes. The  programs are different from time to time during the day. In the morning, programs are to get dogs out of bed and moving for the day. In the middle of the day, programs are to calm dogs while they are home alone. For dogs scared of things like cars or loud noises, Dog TV has special programs with pictures and sounds to help them get used to the things they fear. The channel even has educational programs on health and training. A lot of thought goes into the making of every Dog TV program. Dog TV turned to animal experts to create suitable shows for dogs’ seeing and hearing. Dogs are color-blind (色盲的). They can only see blue and yellow, and they can’t see red or green. So the Dog TV show might sound and look a little different to people’s ear and eye. But don’t worry. Dog TV also has programs for pet parents, too. 1．How much may it cost a month to order one year’s service at a time? A．$3.74 B．$6.25 C．$9.99 D．$13.73 2．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．How Dog TV started B．The programs of Dog TV C．The hard work behind Dog TV D．Where people can watch Dog TV 3．Which of the following is NOT TRUE about Dog TV’s programs? A．Morning programs can wake up the dogs. B．Midday programs can make the dogs quiet. C．They are all about video and music for dogs to relax. D．Special programs can make dogs get used to things they fear. 4．What will the writer probably talk about after the last paragraph? A．Why dogs are color-blind. B．The future plan of Dog TV. C．The programs for pet owners. D．How Dog TV programs are made. Passage E Pets and Their People By Jess French Do you have a pet? Would you like to get one?
