Question

【题目】 Many people can't imagine life without dogs. 【1】. However, dogs and people are very different animals. To make the most of your relationship with your dog, you need to teach her some important skills. Here are three essential principles to keep in mind while teaching.

【2】.

One of the most frequent complaints of pet parents is that their dogs "just won't listen". But put yourself in your dog's shoes for a moment. If someone was constantly speaking in a foreign language how long would you pay attention? Probably not for very long because you simply couldn't understand what the foreign speaker was trying to communicate. Thus, you need to understand how.

If you like the behavior, reward it.

Some training methods use punishment, like scolding, to discourage dogs from doing everything except what you want them to do. 【3】. While both strategies can work, the latter is usually the more effective approach, and it's also much more enjoyable for you and your dog.

Control consequences effectively

As you teach your dog dos and don'ts, bear the following two guideline in mind;

Consequences must be immediate. Dogs live in the present. Unlike us, they can't make connections between events and experiences that are separated in time. For your dog to connect something she does with the consequences of that behavior, the consequences must be immediate 【4】, you have to catch her messing around in the kitchen and punish her on the spot.

【5】. When training your dog, you should respond the same way to things she does every time she does them. For example, if you sometimes touch your dog when she jumps up to greet you but sometimes yell at her instead, she'll definitely get confused. How can she know when it's okay to jump up and when it's not?

A.Consequences must be consistent

B.Understand how your dog learns

C.If you want to keep your dog safe

D.If you want to discourage your dog from doing something

E.We adore them for their loyalty, unconditional affection, and passion for life

F.Training your dog well will improve your life and hers, enhancing the bond

G.Other methods mainly focus on teaching dogs what you want them to do

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】E

【2】B

【3】G

【4】D

【5】A

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。为了充分利用你和你的狗的关系，你需要教她一些重要的技能。在教学中，作者认为有三个基本原则需要牢记。

【1】

根据划线前句提到“许多人无法想象没有狗的生活”可知，E项“我们崇拜他们的忠诚，无条件的爱和对生活的激情”中的“他们”指代前文提及的“狗”。前句和E项构成补充说明。所以E项切题。故选E项。

【2】

根据划线后整段“宠物父母最常抱怨的是他们的狗“就是不听”。但请先设身处地为你的狗想想。如果有人不停地说外语，你能集中注意力多久?可能不会持续很长时间，因为你根本听不懂对方在说什么。因此，您需要了解如何做到这一点”可知，这段在讲如何做到让狗知道你在说什么。所以B 项“了解你的狗是如何学习的”可以统领以下整段文章。E项切题。故选B项。

【3】

根据划线前提及“一些训练方法使用惩罚，比如责骂，阻止狗做任何你不希望它们做的事情”可知G项“其他的方法主要是教狗你想让它们做什么”和前句并列，都在讲训练狗的方法。同时后文提及的“both strategies”在此处也指代前面两句提及的方法。所以G项切题。故选G项。

【4】

根据后句提及“你必须抓住它在厨房里胡闹并当场惩罚它”可知D项“如果你想阻止你的狗做某事”，前后两句构成“条件逻辑”。D项切题。故选D项。

【5】

根据后句提及“在训练你的狗的时候，你应该对她每次做的事情做出同样的反应”可知，A选项“结果必须一致”和后句构成前后补充说明。所以A项切题。故选A项
