______2.______If the answer is yes, then your easiest path is to mix it with canned food. First give your hungry pet a small amount of canned food without the medication.

Repeat as necessary to get the entire dose (剂量) down.______ 3.__ If the pet decides not to finish the meal, the dose will be wasted.

If the chemist says the medication cannot be taken with food, you need a syringe (注射器) or a dropper (滴管) to get the liquid down your pet's throat. _______4.________Keep a cheerful tone in your voice so the pet doesn't sense your stress or hesitation. Position your pet where it cannot run away, perhaps having a dog sit with his back against a wall or chair ---- or a cat on your lap. ____5.______ Use your other hand to insert the syringe or dropper between the cheek and back teeth.

【解析】

试题分析:本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何对患病宠物进行药物治疗的问题。如果兽医认为可以把药物参杂食物一起喂食，那么要首先给宠物一点没有药的食物，然后把药物分几次少量地喂给宠物吃。以免会把药物浪费掉。

1. 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上文提到宠物像孩子一样不知道生病时候必须吃药，从选项内容判断F. 选项They just know it smells funny and they don't want it.（他们只知道味道不好闻，他们不想吃。）可以承接上文，选F。

2.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空格后内容If the answer is yes, then your easiest path is to mix it with canned food（如果答复是肯定的，那么你最容易的办法就是把它和罐装食品参杂在一起。）可以判断上句提出了问题和食物，而在所有选项中C选项内容Ask the vet if the liquid medication can be given with food.（问问兽医液体药物是否可以和食物一起给宠物吃），符合语境，答案选C。

3.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。空前后内容都是介绍把药参杂到食物里喂宠物，而且后句提到宠物吃不完食物将会浪费了药，由此推断空上的句子是建议人们如何去做而不至于浪费药的内容，故答案选E。

4.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。空后内容讲述如何把药物用注射器注射到宠物喉咙里，由此判断A选项内容Before you call your pet in, be sure to have the medication and any other materials you’ll need ready.（在把宠物叫过来之前，确保准备好了药物和你需要的物品）符合语境，选A。

5.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。在后句中Use your other hand to insert the syringe or dropper between the cheek and back teeth.提到了“your other hand”,由此判断前句中会提到 “one hand”，故答案选B。
