（一）
Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thing of buying a dog， however， you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialists‘ advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So， if you want a dog to protect you or your house， for example， you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs through out its life， unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where it is secure， but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old， their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.

答案：
1. B
考點：這是一道判斷理解題，可用排除法。
解析：從文章第二、三、五句話，我們可知，A、C、D都符合原文的說法。B說的是“在挑選狗的時候，常識性的東西最重要”。而原文第四句話卻說“但是，部分決定取決于常識”，并非是最要的。所以B不符合原文，是正確的答案。
2. C
考點：這是一道細節(jié)題，可用排除法。
解析：文章建議在挑選狗時，應(yīng)該考慮狗的大小，性格，是否能適應(yīng)主人提供的環(huán)境，而并未提到A：狗的顏色，B：狗的性格，D：是否可以與家里其他寵物融洽相處。所以D正確。

The young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are talking nothing but nonsense， as in their hearts they must surely know. No， the village is not dead.

When many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away， and men also left home in increasing numbers in search of work， and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember what “village life” meant in the early years of the present century. It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal. Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war， new ideas， new attitudes， new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers. The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make “village life” and “town life” almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all， there is no point whatever in talking any longer about “village life.” It is just life， and a better life. Finally， if we have any doubts about the future， or about the many changes which we have seen in our lives， we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morning； or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups.
