【正确答案】【文章导读】文章主要介绍了在英国文化里，英国人是怎样与宠物相处的、宠物的地位以及在对待宠物方面，英国文化与其他文化的区别。
26.A 根据此空上文提到，对于英国人，养宠物不仅是一项休闲活动。由此可推断此空与上文是语意递进的关系。A项意为：它是整个生活的一种方式。此项符合语境推理，故选A。
27.C 此空上文提到，美国人可能会比英国人花费更多在为宠物添置昂贵物品。下文又说到，他们的宠物不仅仅是地位的象征。此处可与第一段最后一句话（An Englishman’s home may be his castle, but his dog is the real king.）相呼应。由此可知，该空下文中的“他们”指的是“Englishmen”。所以该空应选择一个将话题从美国人转至英国人的句子，C项意为：但是英国人和动物的关系又不一样。C项符合逻辑，故选C。
28.F 根据该空上文“一般的英国人会尽量避免和人交流。下文又说到：但是他和狗的互动是完全没有障碍的”可知，此段中会提到英国人和人交流时，会有某些障碍。F项意为：当他无法避免的时候，通常会变得紧张。结合“avoid”等词的提醒，可知应选F .
29.B 根据此空上文：美国人去到一个典型的英国家庭做客。后文提到一些狗主人和狗的互动。由此可推出要想使句意合乎逻辑，中间会要提到该英国主人家的狗。B项意为：两条大狗统治着这个家。B项符合文意，故选b .
30.D 根据此空下文：英国人会充满爱意地跟别人谈论起自家的宠物狗吃掉了或者是损坏了他们的物品。由此语境可推断出他们对宠物的捣蛋并不生气，相反还引以为傲。D项意为：实际上，他们经常为自家宠物的调皮行为感到自豪。D项与文意一致，故选D。
