1.C名词辨析。A.教堂；B. 法院；C. 医院；D. 体育场。从情理判断孩子应该是在医院出生，所以是在孩子出生后首次从医院带回家，答案选C。

2.B动词辨析。A. 攻击；B. 爱； C. 惊吓； D.接近。根据后句They licked(舔) her and rubbed(摩擦)可以判断这是小狗对女儿友好喜爱的表现，而且后文中because it loved her so much…..也是重要提示。

3.A介词辨析。A.反；对B. 和；C. 为 ；D. 在上。根据词义辨析可知against有“紧靠，倚”的意思，此处指小狗在人身上蹭，以表示友好喜爱，答案选A。

4.C动词辨析。A.给；B. 打破；C. 强迫；D. 放。根据后面的原因状语从句because it loved her so much that it licked her over and over again可以推断为了不让小狗的举动影响到女儿，作者不得不强行把Zack弄走。

5.A动词辨析。A. 睡觉；B. 跳；C.聊天；D. 跑。此空可以用排除法排除，因为刚出生的婴儿不会跑、跳或者聊天，故答案选A。

11.C名词辨析。 A. 兴奋；B. 惊讶；C. 害怕；D. 欢乐。And前后连接同一范畴的词，所以从and前面的fear可以判断C选项正确，指孩子没有了小狗的陪同，独自上楼感到孤独害怕。
