M: Hey, neighbor, can you do me a favor? My wife and I are going out of town this weekend, and I was wondering if you could take care of some of our animals while we’re gone. You know our dog, Jaws, don’t you?
W: Yeah. My leg still hurts from the last incident.
M: Hey, he’s just a playful little beast. He likes to bark a little, and his bark is worse than his bite. Just feed him a can of dog food a day, and make sure he has plenty of water in his dish. [Oh] And then, take him for a walk around the block.
W: Well, how about if I just throw a Frisbee over the fence to give him some exercise? Wouldn’t that work?
M: Ah, and then, he likes to watch the 3: 00 soap opera on Channel 4 [What?]... and brush his teeth after you give him some doggie treats around 4: 00. And, then brush his fur for about twenty minutes. He tends to shed this time of year. [Ah, what?] And then scratch him around the ears. Otherwise, he feels neglected.
W: Man, you really pamper your dog. Is that it?
M: Well, and then there’s Claws.
W: Claws? Who’s Claws?
M: Oh, he’s the cat we adopted from the animal shelter, but he’s a little temperamental.
W: What do you mean "temperamental"?
M: Well, he has mood swings [Mood swings?], but he’s been doing better since he’s been going to the animal therapist. So, be sure to feed him a half cup of cat food two times a day [What? A therapist... ], and don’t forget to put on some soft classical music during his nap time at 2: 40 p. m. But don’t let him out of the house because he might run away and chase the neighbor’s dog.
W: You have some high-maintenance animals.
M: Not really. And, don’t forget to change the cat litter daily, or he might have an accident on the carpet.
[Oh. great. ] And finally, there’s Buttercup.
W: Buttercup? Who’s Buttercup... ? I’m afraid to ask.
M: Ah, she’s a sweetie [What?]... if you know how to handle her right. [Oh. great. ] Wait. Let me get her for you. Here you are.
W: That’s... That’s a snake... [Hold her.] That’s a big snake with big fangs. Does the snake go to a therapist, too?
M: Of course not... just an anger-management class.
W: Oh! What?
M: I’m joking. Buttercup is a very docile creature, and she never bites anyone she likes. If she doesn’t, you’ll know because she starts hissing and staring at you... . kind like what she’s doing now. WrWell, I’m leaving. You must be going out of your mind to think I’m going to watch a zoo full of misunderstood animals. You’d better hire some professional help ’cause I wouldn’t watch them even if you paid me a million dollars.
Questions:
22. What is one of the woman’s concerns about the dog?
23. What is Shawn supposed to do between 3: 00-4: 00 p. m. for the dog?
24. What can we infer from the conversation on the snake’s reaction to Shawn?
25. What is Shawn’s final response to Norman?

选项 A、The snake appears to be fond of the woman.
B、The snake doesn’t care for woman at all.
C、The snake is extremely shy of woman.
D、The snake is indifferent to the woman.

答案 B

解析 细节题。男士说这条蛇很温顺,不咬喜欢的人。如果它不喜欢一个人就会盯着那个人并发出嘶嘶的声音like what she’s doing now.现在就是这副模样,由此可知.蛇并不喜欢这位女士。A喜欢,C害羞,D不在乎,都不符合事实。所以本题答案为B。
