You’re enjoying a quiet evening at home when suddenly your neighbor's dog starts barking（吠叫）and doesn’t stop. Sure, dogs need to bark every now and then, but if the barking is getting in the way of your daily life, you need to do something.

Before you take action, make records of when the dog is disturbing. Record the dates and times when the barking appears to find out the features of the barking. Check them carefully and get your facts straight. You might notice the barking only happens when the owners are at work, or during thunderstorms.

After two to three weeks, visit your neighbors with the facts, your neighbors might not even realize the barking is a problem, for the worst noise may happen when they are gone.

Explain the times when the barking gets bad, then suggest a way to solve the problem. Ask if the dog can stay inside during storm, or suggest a dog training class. Be open to compromise（妥协）because the owners might have other ideas about how to deal with the noise.

Befriending the dog could help. Have your neighbors introduce you to their dog. If they become more comfortable in your presence, they're less likely to bark when they see you or when they are in the backyard. You might even be able to use commands such as “quiet” once the dog trusts you.

Avoid gossiping（流言輩语）with other neighbors about the dog. “That’s when things escalate.” After all, most people will want to solve the problem.

A.Bring the dog to a training class.

B.Drive it out of your neighborhood.

C.Record the dates and times of the barking.

A.They may like dogs barking.

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

When Chato’s barking didn’t stir Jerrica Seals, the recently adopted dog tried nibbling on the teenager’s leg to get the girl out of the burning house.

“No one was hurt.” Fort Myers firefighters responded at about 7:00 a.m.

Five people lived in the Garcia’s home. That was neighbor Janice Hamilton’s main concern when she looked out of her window Friday and saw the flames. “I just threw my pants on to run outside and make sure they knew how many people lived there,” Hamilton said. “It was scary.”

“Seals called me screamingly,” said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seals’ boyfriend, Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the house. “She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg.”

It is said that Garcia’s brother brought Chato home several weeks ago after the animal wandered onto a Lehigh Acres construction site. Since then, Vega said, Chato had been mostly quiet until it mattered. “He doesn’t usually bark.” Vega said. “He’s really friendly.”

According to deputy fire chief Steve Clyatt, possibly the fire started because of an improper extension cord(电缆) used on a window air conditioner. More than half of the house was burned down. There was extensive smoke and water damage in the remainder of the structure. Estimates （估计）for repair costs were unavailable. “I’d say it’s unlikely they will recover this, but I’ve been surprised before.” Clyatt said.

A. Janice Hamilton Helps Save Neighbors

2. The underlined word “they” in the third paragraph most probably refers to _______.

3. By saying “I’d say it’s unlikely they will recover this, but I’ve been surprised before.” in the

last paragraph, Clyatt means _______.

A. it’s a wonder that Seals survived the fire    B. the house was badly damaged

C. such a big fire was seldom seen            D. Chato is a very clever dog

4. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Ms Green’s dog was barking. It was its lunch time, but there was not any meat in the house.

Considering that there was no better way, Ms Green took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it, “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently, “Take this to the butcher, and he’s going to give you your lunch today.”

Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s shop. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and pleasantly did as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately.

At midday, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more, smiling.

The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat without any delay, for he had thought of the dog as one of his customers.

However, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Ms Green give it so much meat to eat today?”

Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!

1.Why did Ms Green give her dog a piece of paper with some words on it?

A.Because she wanted her dog to send the butcher a message for some meat home.

B.Because she often did something like this to solve the dog’s lunch problem.

D.Because the butcher would give her dog a pound of meat for its lunch after reading it.

2.What can we learn from the paragraph 5&6?

A.The dog got some meat after the butcher reading the paper again.

B.The dog was easy to be hungry due to its large size.

C.It appeared that the dog knew well the paper could do it much good.

D.The dog took in the butcher several times.

3.Before reading the paper with no words, the butcher treated the dog ______.
