　　Animals can be of great fun, but it’s important to know

　　21

　　to be safe when you’re with them. Both indoor animals and outdoor animals need to be

　　22

　　kindly all the time. This means different things

　　23

　　on the animal and the situation.

　　24

　　a wild animal, being kind may mean staying far away

　　25

　　the animal doesn’t feel threatened and so you stay

　　26

　　.

　　Stepping outside can mean a world full of great animals to see —

　　27

　　squirrels in trees to birds in flight. In some parts of the world, kids

　　28

　　see slithery snakes, black bats,

　　29

　　even cool coyotes. And don’t forget raccoons, skunks, and other critters

　　30

　　come out in some places at night.

　　The rule in the great outdoors is simple: Don’t

　　31

　　or go near an animal.

　　32

　　some of these animals may look cool or even cute, leave them

　　33

　　. These animals aren’t like regular pets. They’re not

　　34

　　to being around people and may bite or attack if you come near them. They also might have rabies(狂犬病).

　　Don’t ever try to

　　35

　　a wild animal. Bird feeders are OK, but other animals,

　　36

　　they look hungry, shouldn’t ever be fed. When it comes to these animals, it’s better for everyone if you stay

　　____37

　　and check them out at the zoo, on the Internet, on TV nature shows, or in books.

　　If a pet looks sick or is injured, stay far away. An animal that

　　38

　　loves to be petted may get very

　　39

　　and even bite when it is feeling ill. Tell an adult so he or she can get

　　40

　　for the animal.

　　, “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look at what we have found

　　the way!”

　　Their goal was far too ambitious, but it did cause them to dig. And that is

　　試題分析：文章中作者講了一個小故事，有兩個兄弟要挖一個很深很深的坑，他們要把地球挖穿，又來了一對比他們年齡大的兄弟嘲笑他們說，這是不可能的，地球是不可能被挖穿的，兄弟兩個說，雖然不能挖穿但他們也會有機會去經歷這件事情也有很大的收獲，這是他們的一個目標，人的一生只有有目標，才會朝著這個方向前進，不是所有的事情都能成功，但只有有了目標才有前進的動力。

　　17．C考查動詞的詞義。句意為：兩個兄弟決定在他們的屋后挖一個很深的坑，正當他們工作的時候，一對年齡稍大的兄弟在旁邊停了下來去注視他們兩個，你們正在干什么呢，一個來訪者問。rest vt 使休息，使輕松；work vt工作；watch vt觀察，注視；laugh vt笑，嘲笑。來訪者還不知道他們干什么，所以此處嘲笑是不恰當的，故答案應為C。
