Question

Tony and Jane give their opinions about keeping pet dogs.

Keeping pet dogs is a good idea, says Tony   I think people should be allowed to keep pet dogs. There are lots of reasons for this.   First, dogs are really cute. It’s nice to pick them up and hold them in our arms, and it’s wonderful to see them growing up quickly.   Second, your dog might not be dangerous but by simply barking he can keep away a burglar who might think of entering your house.   Finally, we can also learn about life and death from dogs. Young people can learn how to care for others and how to respect all living things by keeping a pet dog.   I think keeping pet dogs is something everyone can enjoy.

Keeping pet dogs is not a good idea, say Jane In my opinion, it is never a good idea to keep a pet dog.   Firstly, pet dogs create a lot of mess. They leave fur and hair on the floor, on beds and on sofas, and they need to be washed daily.   Secondly, we should remember that not all dogs are friendly. Some dogs bark at people they do not know. A few dogs bark all night. This stops their neighbors from getting any sleep. A small number of pet dogs even bite people.   Lastly, you have to make sure pet dogs are in good health and provided with good pet products. Paying for dog food and seeing the vet when dogs are ill can be expensive.   I believe that people should not keep pet dogs.

【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了托尼和珍尼就养宠物狗的不同观点：托尼认为狗可爱、可以防小偷、养狗可以学到生与死的知识，所以赞成人们养狗；珍尼认为狗很脏、有些狗咬人、养宠物狗花钱，因此她反对养宠物狗。

1.B推理判断题。题意：托尼可能认为把宠物狗放在床上怎样？A. uncomfortable不舒服；B. acceptable可以接受；C. dangerous危险。根据短文内容，托尼赞成人人养宠物狗，可以推测出他认为把宠物抱到床上是可以接受的。故选B。

2.D 词意猜测题。根据短文中的句子Paying for dog food and visiting the vet when dogs are ill can be expensive.（给狗买食物和狗生病后去看vet会很贵。）生病去看医生，狗生病后去看兽医，故答案选D。

3.A细节理解题。托尼赞成养狗，珍尼反对养狗，他们对是否养宠物狗的意见不同，故答案选A。
