二. 綜合填空：
1. friendly。根據(jù)“be very f 1 to people”來分析，此空應(yīng)填一個(gè)形容詞，表明狗對(duì)人的態(tài)度。
2. children。
3. strange。狗的天性是護(hù)家。文中的watch-dogs意為“看家狗”，專門指有生人來時(shí)發(fā)出叫喊的狗。“生人”在英文中即為a strange person。
4. size。這個(gè)空略微有點(diǎn)難。一是size一詞平時(shí)用的較少，二是一般家庭都養(yǎng)小型犬，供狗活動(dòng)的空間一般不成問題，因此，對(duì)狗的體積問題考慮的較少。從后面的句子來看，此處是在談狗的體積的問題－“如果你的家小，就買一只小狗；如果你的家大，就買一只大狗。”
5. yours。這是一個(gè)名詞性物主代詞，代替上半句的your home。此句完整的說法應(yīng)是buy a small dog if your home is small and buy a bigger one if your home is larger.為避免詞的重復(fù)使用，常用名詞性物主代詞代替前面的那個(gè)名詞。
6. almost。“狗幾乎什么都吃。”這一點(diǎn)我們從日常生活中也都知道，而且本句話的后面也進(jìn)行了進(jìn)一步的解釋說明，“他們喜歡吃肉，米飯和其它的東西。”
7. made。這是make的過去分詞，在這里與for dogs一起做定語，修飾food，整句的意思是“你可以在食品店買到許多為狗做的食物。”
8. leave。有養(yǎng)狗經(jīng)驗(yàn)的同學(xué)都知道，每天一定要給狗留下供它喝的水。
9. summer。如果了解了狗的這一輩子理功能（靠舌頭來散熱），就不難填出summer一詞。
10. exercise。從下面的句子You should take it for a walk every day. Don't keep your dog inside all day.來看，說明狗也需要運(yùn)動(dòng)。exercise當(dāng)“運(yùn)動(dòng)”講時(shí)，是一個(gè)不可數(shù)名詞，不能在詞尾加s。
