Recently, several Chinese colleges have made new rules to allow students to bring pets to school. The news has caused a heated discussion online.
Kunming City College is one of them. It plans to build pet-friendly dorms and a daycare center for pets. Small pets like cats and hamsters will be allowed in most school areas except dining halls. However, dangerous animals or animals not allowed in the city can’t be brought onto campus. The school says a dorm can be pet-friendly only if all roommates agree.
However, not everyone agrees. Some students welcome the rule. They say they won’t feel sad because they don’t have to be away from their pets for a long time. But others worry about public safety. Some students are allergic (过敏的) to animals or afraid of them. Pets may also fight with each other or hurt people in crowded dorms.
1.1.Who can use the pet-friendly dorms in Kunming City College?
A Any student with pets.
B Students keeping cats only.
C Students living alone.
D Students whose roommates all agree.
解析:选D。D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The school says a dorm can be pet-friendly only if all roommates agree.”可知,只有同宿舍的室友都同意,宿舍才能成为宠物友好宿舍,因此D项正确。A项“任何带宠物的学生”错误,因为原文明确有条件限制;B项“只养猫的学生”错误,因为文中还提到仓鼠等小宠物;C项“独居学生”错误,因为文中没有提到学生是否独居。故选 D。
2.2. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A Pets are safe in dorms.
B Not all students support the pet rule.
C Most students have pets.
D Pets often hurt people in dorms.
解析:选B。B 推理判断题。第三段开头说“not everyone agrees”,接着指出有些学生欢迎,有些学生担心公共安全、过敏、害怕动物等问题。由此可以推断,并不是所有学生都支持这项宠物规定,因此B项正确。A项“宠物在宿舍很安全”与第三段中提到的安全担忧相反;C项“大多数学生有宠物”在文中没有依据;D项“宠物经常在宿舍伤人”过于绝对,原文只是说“may also fight with each other or hurt people”,表示可能性,不是经常发生。故选 B。
3.3. What does the writer think of these pet rules?
A The writer gives no opinion.
B The writer supports them.
C The writer is against them.
D The writer is surprised.
解析:选A。A 观点态度题。文章客观介绍了不同大学关于宠物的规定以及学生的不同看法,没有出现“I think”“in my opinion”等表达,也没有明显的支持或反对词语。因此可以判断作者只是陈述事实,没有给出自己的观点,A项正确。B、C、D项在文中都找不到依据。故选 A。
4.4. What do the colleges in Yinchuan and Chengdu provide for pets?
A Special pet places.
B Pet-friendly dorms.
C Free pet food.
D Pet training classes.
解析:选A。A 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Yinchuan University of Science and Technology and Chengdu College of Arts and Sciences build special pet areas instead of pet dorms.”可知,银川和成都的大学建的是专门的宠物区域,而不是宠物友好宿舍,因此A项正确,B项错误。C项“免费宠物食品”和D项“宠物训练课”在文中均未提及。故选 A。
5.5. What is the main idea of the text?
A Ways to look after small pets.
B Students’ favourite animal pets.
C Different college rules about pets.
D Problems of school safety.
解析:选C。C 主旨大意题。文章第一段点出主题:几所中国高校制定了允许学生带宠物到校的新规定。接着分别介绍了昆明城市学院的宠物友好宿舍、银川和成都高校的宠物专区,以及西安高校的严格检查制度。全文围绕不同学校关于宠物的规定展开,因此C项“Different college rules about pets”最能概括文章主旨。A项“照顾小宠物的方法”、B项“学生最喜欢的宠物”和D项“学校安全问题”都只是文章的局部内容或偏离主题。故选 C。
