Many people rush_into_the_commitment_of_bringing_home_a_fourlegged_family_member，only to find out that they are not ready for a pet.This often results in the dog being turned over to a shelter where it may not find another home.This can be avoided if potential pet owners take the time to figure out if they are truly ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership.
Being a responsible pet owner involves a financial commitment that goes beyond buying dog food.There are also parasite(寄生虫)preventionant to be prepared for the expenses that come with being a pet owner.
Another consideration is the time commitment.An owner away from home for 14 hours every day is not an ideal situation for a dog.A potential dog owner must also consider the time it takes to care for his or her pet，the time it takes to feed，walk，play with，bathe and clean up.Also，dogs require attention.Be prepared to spend time each day petting and playing with it.
Dogs are dogs，and will act like dogs.This includes barking，digging，having accidents in the house and，possibly，destroying some of the owner’s prized possessions，such as furniture，shoes and cell phones.If the above would cause an owner to want to get rid of the dog，then he or she is not yet ready to be a pet owner.Many wonderful pets end up in shelters simply because they acted like dogs!

Ⅰ.阅读理解
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。如果想领养宠物需要先做好思想准备，需要在经济上和时间上对宠物有所付出，从而做一位负责任的宠物主人。
1．解析：选A。推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“An owner away from home for 14 hours every day is not an ideal situation for a dog.”并结合选项可知，作为老师的Kari每天工作八小时，有充分的时间照顾狗，因此他(她)可能有资格成为狗的主人。故选A。
2．解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句“This often results in the dog being turned over to a shelter where it may not find another home.This can be avoided if potential pet owners take the time to figure out if they are truly ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership.”可知，当你把狗带回家却没有做好准备照顾它时，这只能导致它被移交到一个庇护所去，这不是一个负责任的主人应做的事。故选D。
3．解析：选D。句意理解题。根据第一段画线部分后的“only to find out that they are not ready for a pet”可知，许多人发现他们并没有为宠物做好准备，由此结合选项可推知，许多人决定成为宠物的主人没有经过认真考虑。故选D。
4．解析：选B。标题归纳题。根据第一段最后一句中“if they are truly ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership”，并结合下文可知，文章主要谈的是想要饲养宠物前你是否做好了准备，因此“Ready for a Pet？”可作为最佳标题。故选B。
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了四本实用的书。
5．解析：选C。文章出处题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了四本实用的书，只有报纸较全面，故选C项。
6．解析：选C。细节理解题。根据文章对第一本书的介绍可知，该书中有200多个新的景点，200多幅新的彩色照片和最新的地图，故选C项。
7．解析：选D。细节理解题。根据文中提供的四本书的“Cover price”和“Our price”价格计算比较可知，Container Gardens by Number打折最多，故选D项。
