【答案解析】[听力原文] 22-25 M: Hey,neighbor,can you do me a favor?My wife and I are going out of town this weekend,and I was wondering if you could take care of some of our animals while we're gone. You know our dog,Jaws,don't you? W: Yeah. My leg still hurts from the 1ast incident. M: Hey,he's just a playful little beast. He likes to bark a little,and his bark is worse than his bite. Just feed him a can of dog food a day,and make sure he has plenty of water in his dish. [Oh]And then,take him for a walk around the block. W: Well,how about if I just throw a Frisbee over the fence to give him some exercise?Wouldn't that work? M: Ah,and then,he likes to watch the 3:00 soap opera on Channel 4[What?]…and brush his teeth after you give him some doggie treats around 4:00. And,then brush his fur for about twenty minutes. He tends to shed this time of year. [Ah,what?]And then scratch him around the ears. Otherwise,he feels neglected. W: Man,you really pamper your dog. Is that it? M: Well,and then there's Claws. W: Claws?Who's Claws? M: Oh,he's the cat we adopted from the animal shelter,but he's a little temperamental. W: What do you mean“temperamental”? M: Well,he has mood swings[Mood swings?],but he's been doing better since he's been going to the animal therapist. So,be sure to feed him a half cup of cat food two times a day[What?A therapist…],and don't forget to put on some soft classical music during his nap time at 2:40 P. m. But don't let him out of the house because he might run away and chase the neighbor's dog. W: You have some high-maintenance animals. M: Not really. And,don't forget to change the cat 1itter daily,or he might have an accident on the carpet. [Oh,great. ]And finally,there's Buttercup. W: Buttercup?Who's Buttercup…?I'm afraid to ask. M: Ah,she's a sweetie[What?]…if you know how to handle her right. [Oh,great. ]Wait. Let me get her for you. Here you are. W: That's…That's a snake…[Hold her. ]That's a big snake with big fangs. Does the snake go to a therapist,too? M: Of course not…just an anger-management class. W: Oh!What? M: I'm joking. Buttercup is a very docile creature,and she never bites anyone she likes. If she doesn't. you'll know because she starts hissing and staring at you…. kind like what she's doing now. W: Well,I'm leaving. You must be going out of your mind to think I'm going to watch a zoo full of misunderstood animals. You'd better hire some professional help'cause I wouldn't watch them even if you paid me a million dollars. 22. What is one of the woman's concerns about the dog? [解析] 细节题。女士说她的腿伤还没有好,根据上下文知道可能是被男士的狗咬了,而且她说how about if I just throw a Frisbee over the fence to give him some exercise,从她不敢遛狗这点来看,她很怕这只狗。所以正确答案是It can be somewhat aggressive. (它有时候很凶。)选项D的bark too loudly虽然男士也提到了,但显然这不是女士担心的问题; 可以排除选项C,The dog might mess on the carpet,因为这个男士介绍他的猫的时候说don't forget to change the cat litter daily,or he might have an accident on the carpet. (别忘了每天给猫更换尿盆,不然他会在地毯上方便。)选项B,狗吃得太多,在文中没有提及。所以本题答案为A。
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文] What is Shawn supposed to do between 3:00-4:00 p. m. for the dog? [解析] 细节题。男士说he likes to watch the 3:00 soap opera on Channel 4(狗喜欢在3点钟看4频道的肥皂剧),所以3点到4点之间应该给狗看电视。所以本题答案为C。
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[听力原文] What can we infer from the conversation on the snake's reaction to Shawn? [解析] 细节题。男士说这条蛇很温顺,不咬喜欢的人,如果它不喜欢一个人就会盯着那个人并发出嘶嘶的声音like what she's doing now. 现在就是这副模样,由此可知,蛇并不喜欢这位女士。A喜欢,C害羞,D不在乎,都不符合事实。所以本题答案为B。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文] What is Shawn's final response to Norman? [解析] 细节题。女士建议男士You'd better hire some professional help'cause I wouldn't watch them even if you paid me a million dollars. (最好请专业人员帮忙,即使给我100万美元我也不看着这些动物。)所以,答案为seek someone who is well-trained with animals(找受过良好的训练、懂得如何照顾这些动物的人员),而不是把动物送到动物园特殊照顾,或是建议男士放弃喂养这些动物,或是给这位女士一大笔钱,女士就会给照看这些动物。所以本题答案为A。
