  Trained and tamed for many generations, domestic animals are not accustomed to roaming(到处走动) in search of food and shelter. They look to their masters to provide for their needs, and as long as these are supplied, they are content to do what their masters require.
  All domestic animals need proper food. It must be suitable for them, sufficient in quantity, fre
sh and clean. Some people feed a pet dog or cat on odds and ends of table scraps, and then wonder why the animal seems listless(倦怠的) and dull. The quantity of food depends on the size of the animal and the amount of exercise it takes. Overfeeding is as bad as underfeeding. Containers for food and water must be washed regularly if the animal is to maintain good health.
  Even well cared for animals may sometimes fall ill. If this happens, the wise master seeks the best advice he can get. All sorts of medicines and treatments are available for sick animals, and in some countries organizations exist to provide them free or at a cheap price. Useful, friendly, hardworking animals deserve to have some time, money and attention spent on their health.

  大学四级英语仔细阅读专项习题答案
  1.B)Man came to establish a close relationship with a number of animals. 黑体部分为第一段两个要点，A只包含了一个要点，C只提到了一头驴。。。D则完全与第一段无关。这道选错了要面壁哦。
  2.A)refuse to obey its master对应原文Some people feed a pet dog or cat on odds and ends of table scraps(即题干中的When an animal is underfed, 所以要在这句话中答案～), and then wonder why the animal seems listless(倦怠的) and dull. 由于答案比较隐晦, 先保留A, B(直接得病)、C(要求食物)和D(自己觅食)均未从此句中得到丝毫体现, 所以A为最接近答案. 因为我家养过狗, 所以比较清楚, refuse to obey its master的一个表现就是listless and dull, 简单的说, 就是你逗它它没反应。
  3.D)The Husky and the Saluki are the strongest breed ever known in the world完全无法对应原文。。。A)They can act as friends, guards, and servants to man对应原文Dogs, which serve man in all three capacities; B)They have great adaptation for the environment对应原文Husky存在于两极和Saluki存在于非洲的叙述, 两极和非洲都能适应, 说明它们有很强的适
应环境的能力; C)There live a great variety of breeds of dogs on the globe对应原文的are found in various breeds in all countries of the world.
  4.B)to pay attention to its proper feeding对应原文All domestic animals need proper food. 整个第3段都是围绕着how to keep a domestic animal physically fit展开的.
  5.A)Domesticated Animals - Man’s Best Friend为最合适答案, 本文正是充满感情地围绕着这个话题展开. 虽然文章对驯养家养动物提出了很多宝贵建议, 但B选项没说是给人Proper Diet还是给狗Proper Diet; C选项是饲养家养动物的好处, 也不对; D选项是喂养宠物的建议, 但只有第三、四段包含了建议的内容, 不全面. 关于这一点, 如果不能理解, 请参考上一期关于空调(air conditioning)的阅读的最后一题的答案详解, 这种类型的阅读理解的最后一道题往往要综合全文篇幅来看, 看作者总体说了什么, 而非作者着重说了什么. 呵呵, 大概是这样吧.
