There are lots of good things for children about having and caring for pets. Playing with or cuddling pets is part of the fun of having them. But there are some things to remember if you want to keep yourself safe.
1.Always wash your hands  (1)  playing with a pet, and be careful especially  (1) eating, in case any germs(細(xì)菌) have got onto your fingers.
2.Don’t let pets lick your face －they may have been licking somewhere unmentionable just before they lick you! If they do lick your face, don’t be afraid－soap and water will get rid of any nasty germs.
3.Pets get worms and fleas. They need to be treated regularly to keep them healthy. Animal fleas can bite you.
4.Some skin diseases such as ringworm can be spread to humans from dogs and cats.［Ringworm is not really a worm; it is a skin infection caused by tinea.］
5. Some people can be allergic to animal hair or dander. They might get fever or asthma if they get too close to some pets.
It sounds like a lot of problems. doesn’t it? (2)But if you take care, pets can be great fun and not cause any problems. The important thing for us is to clean up. Regularly clean up after your pet in the garden, the cat little tray or the area where your pet lives. To avoid getting germs, wear rubber gloves and make sure that you wash your bands well after cleaning up.
小題1:在(1)句的空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)脑~，使句意完整、上下文通順。
小題2:將劃線句子(2)譯成中文。
 
小題3:回答問題:  What can get rid of the germs if a pet licks our face?
 
小題4:在文中找出與下面句子意思相近的句子。
If you want to keep your pets fit, you need to treat them regularly.
 
小題5:在文中找出最能表達(dá)該短文主題的句子。
 

小題1:after, before
小題2:但是如果你小心，寵物會帶來無窮樂趣，并不會帶來麻煩。
小題3:soap and water
小題4:They need to be treated regularly to keep them healthy.
小題5:But there are some things to remember if you want to keep yourself safe.

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是飼養(yǎng)寵物會給孩子們帶來很多好處和無限的樂趣，但是在養(yǎng)寵物的時候，我們也應(yīng)該注意一些問題，保證自己的安全。接下來作者給了我們一些好的建議和注意事項。
小題1:句意：在和寵物一起玩了之后一定要洗手，尤其是在吃東西之前。根據(jù)句意可知，第一個空表示和寵物在一起玩了之后要洗手；第二個空應(yīng)該是說在吃東西之前要洗手。故填after 和before。
小題2:take care 是一個固定的短語，意思是小心，注意；great fun非常有趣；cause problems導(dǎo)致問題，帶來麻煩。But表示轉(zhuǎn)折。故本句意為：但是如果你小心，寵物會帶來無窮樂趣，并不會帶來麻煩。
小題3:根據(jù)短文中的第二條建議If they do lick your face, don’t be afraid－soap and water will get rid of any nasty germs.可知，如果寵物舔了你的臉，不用害怕，肥皂和水可以去除掉細(xì)菌。
小題4:句意：如果你想使你的寵物保持健康，你就需要定期地給他們治療。根據(jù)這句話的意思，我們在短文中可以發(fā)現(xiàn)They need to be treated regularly to keep them healthy.與它的意思最接近。
小題5:這篇短文講述的是飼養(yǎng)寵物會給孩子們帶來很多好處和無限的樂趣，但是在養(yǎng)寵物的時候，我們也應(yīng)該注意一些問題，保證自己的安全。接下來作者給了我們一些好的建議和注意事項。故這篇短文的主題句應(yīng)該是第一段中but后面的意思。

When I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I’ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldn’t let that happen.
Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose.

On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn’t want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch.

In 2003, Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit orphanages （孤兒院）. It was the most amazing experience of my life.

C
It’s something familiar to all parents of young children: you’re in a busy shopping street and your child wants to pee (小便) and he just can’t hold it any longer. But two parents’ decision to let their child relieve (釋放) himself has caused much attention in China.
By now, it seems, the whole Chinese Internet is familiar with what happened on a crowded Hong Kong shopping street. A mother holds a nappy (尿布) while her two-year-old pees. A passerby took pictures which then were put online. The woman explained that they had found a public toilet (廁所) but saw there was a long queue, so she had no other choice but to let their child to relieve himself on the street instead.
Why has this one child’s act caused so much upset? Allowing a child under 12 to “answer the call of nature in any public street” is against the law in Hong Kong and the parents will face a 2,000 Hong Kong Dollar ($250) fine (罰款). But the on-line chatter has put all the attention on the fact that this family were tourists from mainland China, rather than being locals. “For Hong Kongers, people might think from time to time that mainlanders are not so polite and often break the public rules,” says Martin Yip of BBC. Charmaine Chui, who was born in Hong Kong, told BBC she feels angry to have seen mainland tourists peeing in shopping centers and restaurants. “Hong Kong is a beautiful, modern city. What do these people think of it?” she says.
In mainland China, there has also been criticism of the parents’ behavior. But most of the people say they find the parents’ behavior understandable as they had tried to find a toilet for their child and the mother used a paper nappy rather than simply allowing the baby to pee on the ground.
小題1:The child peed ________ in HK.
A．on a crowded shopping street B．in a public toilet
C．a(chǎn)t homeD．in a restaurant
小題2:The underlined phrase “answer the call of nature” means _________.
A．回歸自然B．接自然打來的電話
C．上廁所D．接電話
小題3:Charmaine Chui feels _________ to have seen mainland tourists peeing in shopping centers and restaurants.
A．understandableB．sorry
C．a(chǎn)ngryD．happy
小題4:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．A policeman took photos of the 2-year-old child and put them online.
B．It’s OK for children under 12 to pee wherever they like in Hong Kong.
C．All the Chinese feel very angry about the parents’ behavior.
D．In mainland China, most of the people find the parents’ behavior understandable.
