Animals perform many useful and entertaining jobs. Dogs are particularly valuable in guiding the blind, protecting property, finding lost people, and hunting criminals. Horses are used in guarding herds, carrying men in lands when there are no roads and helping farmers work their lands. Pigeons have long been used to carry messages.
    Dogs are extremely useful as companions for blind people. When a dog has been properly trained, he will always lead its blind master in the right direction and keep him out of danger. For example, seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if their masters command them to do so.
    Horses are also able to learn a lot of things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises, traffic and other disturbances. Therefore it is necessary for those who train them to be very patient and understanding.
    Pigeons have a natural instinct to return home, even if they are far away and the trip is very hard and dangerous. Men utilize this instinct to send messages on small pieces of paper which are fastened to the pigeon’s backs or legs. In wartime, pigeons have been known to fly as fast as 75 miles an hour and to cover a distance of 500 to 600 miles.
    People have realized that although animals may not have the intelligence as human beings, they are smart enough to learn many things.

选项 A、They should not be frightened by wild horses.

答案 D

解析 选项均以They should开头以及其中的not be frightened/disturbed,patient等表明,本题可能考查They应具备的素质。短文中提到,用作护卫或警务工作的马必须学会不被周围的环境所惊扰,所以这就要求它们的训练师必须有十足的耐心和体谅心(very patient and understanding),故答案为[D]。
