解析
【分析】
解题思路：先通读全文，把握文章主旨是地震前动物的异常行为可预警地震。针对每道题，定位原文对应段落，分析选项与原文的匹配度：
1. 第1题：根据第一段“Many animals do strange things before an earthquake”，判断动物行为与平时的差异；
2. 第2题：定位第二段关于狗的行为描述，匹配选项；
3. 第3题：分析第三段的论证方式，判断是否为举例子；
4. 第4题：梳理全文核心内容，明确文章写作目的；
5. 第5题：提炼文章核心，选择最贴合主旨的标题。
【解析】
1. 解析：根据第一段关键句“Many animals do strange things before an earthquake”，可知地震前动物行为与平时不同，A（开心地）、C（慢地）不符合文意，故选B。
2. 解析：定位第二段关键句“Dogs that are usually quiet start to bark”，bark（吠叫）属于制造大量噪音，A仅描述狗平时的状态，C是老鼠的行为，故选B。
3. 解析：第三段通过列举意大利猫群跑、旧金山宠物青蛙异常的具体事例支撑观点，论证方法为举例子，A（列数字）、C（对比）不符合，故选B。
4. 解析：文章围绕地震前动物的异常行为展开，核心是说明可通过观察动物判断地震，A（拯救动物生命）、B（了解有趣的动物）偏离主旨，故选C。
5. 解析：文章核心是地震前动物的异常行为可作为地震预警，A（有趣的动物）、B（动物的奇怪行为）未突出“地震预警”，故选C。
