Answer 1

16．答案为B．动词辨析．plan 计划，imagine 想象，win　赢得，decide 决定．根据题意，应该选B，整句话意为"我不能想象不养一只狗的生活"．根据"I love dogs"，这句话，我们知道Rain很爱狗，所以他和妻子才在老宠物狗死后，寻找新的宠物狗带到家里养，因为他不能想象如果没有宠物狗，他的生活会是什么样．故答案为B．
17．答案为A．名词辨析．根据前文，我们知道Rain和妻子正在寻找合适的宠物狗，所以最后，Rain和妻子找到了Little Sheep这匹可爱的小狗，故答案为A．
18．答案为D．动词辨析．ride骑车，catch　抓住，赶上，throw　扔掉，take  带着，根据文意我们知道，Rain和妻子找到一匹可爱的小狗后，决定把它带回家养，所以选择D选项．take sb．/sth．home，意为把某人某物带回家．所以答案为D．
19．答案为D．词义辨析．relatives'亲戚的，neighbors'邻居的，classmates'同学的，owners'主人的．根据文章，我们知道，这句话的意思是，LittleSheep很快熟悉新家的环境，睡在新主人的床上．所以D选项符合文意，故答案为D．
20．答案为C．副词辨析．politely 有礼貌地，hardly 艰难地，carefully 仔细地，小心地，widely，广阔地．根据文章我们知道，Rain的心脏病已经25年了，他一直每天谨慎地服药，所以基本上没出过什么大问题．根据文章，C选项符合句意，故答案为C．
21．答案为B．连词辨析．根据前文，我们知道，Rain一直很小心的服药，所以没出过什么大问题．再看后文，我们知道，Rain错误的服了药剂数量．所以用But连接上下文较合适，表示转折．故答案为B．
22．答案为C．动词辨析．start 开始，sell 出售，use 使用，burn  燃烧，烧毁．use the bathroom意为上卫生间，所以C选项符合文意，故答案为C．
23．答案为A．形容词辨析．quiet 安静的，noisy 喧哗的，吵闹的，worried担心的，rude 粗鲁的．根据后文"He's becoming a calm little gentleman"，我们知道Little Sheep平时都是非常镇静的小绅士，所以不会大喊大叫，根据这里，我们可以得知，Little Sheep 是个安静的狗，所以A选项符合文意，故答案为A．
24．答案为C．动词辨析．singing，唱歌，standing 站着，lying　躺着，dancing跳舞．根据'he felt his heart beating fast and later fell to the floor heavily"，我们可以得知，Rain在心脏病发后晕倒在地，所以妻子看到的应该是Rain躺在地上，故C选项符合题意．故答案为C．
25．答案为B．名词辨析．根据文章，妻子在发现Rain晕倒在地后，应该是马上跑到电话边，打电话给医院．所以B选项电话符合文意．故答案为B．
26．答案为A．形容词辨析．good 好的，full 满的，weak 虚弱的．beautiful 美丽的，根据题意，我们直到在医院几个小时治疗以后，Rain回家了，所以Rain应该是好转后，感觉良好，才回家．故A选项符合文意．故答案为A．
27．答案为C．名词辨析．stress 压力，danger危险，courage 勇气，sadness 伤心．根据文意，我们知道Little Sheep是通过大声地吠叫，才把妻子叫醒发现Rain的异常，但平日里，它是一匹安静的小狗，所以Rain觉得吃惊的是它怎么有这么大的勇气通过这种方式来救他．故C选项符合题意．故答案为C．
28．答案为D．名词辨析．pollution 污染，nature 自然，advice 建议，confidence 自信．我们从文中知道，"We can walk him on our street，unleashed，without any problem"，现在每个人都想摸Little Sheep．所以Little Sheep应该是变得越来越自信，D选项Confidence符合题意，故答案为D．
29．答案为A．动词辨析．根据后文的"kindly"，我们知道，每个人都想友好地摸摸Little Sheep，所以A选项符合文意，故答案为A．
30．答案为B．形容词辨析．wrong　错误的，suitable 合适的，colorful　多彩的，common 共同的．在LittleSheep勇敢的救了主人之后，Rain和妻子觉得Little Sheep这个名字不太合适，BigHero这个名字更适合它，所以B选项符合文意．故答案为B．
