【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文中作者讲述了人和动物的关系，动物是人的朋友，很多人都很喜欢各种动物，他们还可以帮助人类做很多事情，离开了动物人类也无法生存。

1.B 词义猜测题。根据文意和这个单词所在的句子“train the elephants to do some heavy work”和 “train the dogs to look after the house”可知，大象可以干重活，狗可以看门，但动物本不会做，是人类锻炼这些动物，使他们能够帮助人类，因此推测train的意思为“锻炼”，选B。

2.A 细节信息题。根据文章第二段中“they can also train the dogs to look after the house.”可知狗可以看门。故选A。

3.D 细节信息题。从第三段“From cows, we can get milk.”这句话我们可知，从奶牛身上可以得到牛奶，故选D。

4.D 推理判断题。最后一句话说“man can’t live comfortably without these animals.”其中these animals指的是上文提到的狗、牛及羊等动物，而这些动物都是人类日常生活中能够见到或喂养的，C. the animals which live in the forest指生存在森林的动物；D. the animals which live with man指与人类一起生活的动物，故选D。

5.D 细节信息题。文中说“And horses can take us to other places. In some places, horses and camels are instead of car and buses.”意思是：马可以带我们到其他地方。在某些地方，马和骆驼代替了小汽车和公共汽车。从这句话可知，如果想要去其他地方，可以乘坐A马或骆驼、B公共汽车、C小汽车，故选D all the above以上都是。
