高铁推出宠物随行服务
Do you want to take your pets on a long trip? 1. Now, the service is available at over one hundred stations across the country. There are two service modes: one is “Travel with Pet” (you take the same train with your pet), and the other is “Pet Alone Travel” (your pet can be shipped alone).
2. For “Travel with Pet”, you need to book at least two days before travelling. For “Pet Alone Travel”, you must book 2 to 5 days in advance. Pets must be healthy cats or dogs, with a weight of no more than 15 kg, a shoulder height of no more than 40 cm and a body length of no more than 52 cm. 3. They need to show their ID and a pet health certificate. Pets are put in special boxes with air, water, and cameras during the trip. But owners can't visit or feed them during the ride.
Many pet owners are happy with the service. 4. A Shanghai lady with two cats said, “Keeping cats and dogs together is not a good idea because dogs may make cats feel stressed.”
The service still needs to be improved. 5. In the future, we may see more services like this to make people's lives better.

语法充电
1. in advance 提前 2. no more than 不超过,至多
3. with+特征描述短语:用来补充说明人/动物/物品的特征,with a weight of ... 体重为…;with a height of ... 高度为……
4. need to be improved 表示“需要被改进”,固定搭配 need to do ... 需要做……。service(服务)只能“被改进”。

一、1. E 空格位于问句之后、引出服务话题的位置。E. China has a pet-friendly service on high-speed trains.(中国在高铁上有宠物友好服务。)正好承上启下：回答了问句，并引出后文对这项服务的介绍。
2. A 空格后讲述预订时间要求，A. To use this service, owners must book in advance.(要想使用此服务，主人必须提前预订。)恰好概括了预订的核心要求，且与后文“至少提前两天”和“提前2到5天”的具体信息呼应。
3. C 空格前讲宠物尺寸限制，空格后讲需要出示证件，C. Owners must arrive earlier to complete check-in.(主人必须提前到达完成进站手续。)自然承接前文尺寸要求，并为后文“出示证件”铺垫，说明办理流程需要时间，所以要提前到。
4. B 空格前说许多宠物主人对服务感到满意，空格后引用一位上海女士的话，“将猫和狗放在一起不是好主意，因为狗可能让猫感到压力。”B. However, some worry about pets feeling stressed.(然而，有些人担心宠物感到压力。)形成转折，表达部分人的担忧，正好引出后文的具体担忧内容。
5. D 空格前说“服务仍需改进”，空格后展望未来，D. But it shows a change towards more user-friendly railways.(但它展现了向更人性化铁路的转变。)既承认当前不足，也肯定其积极意义，并与后文“未来会有更多此类服务”的展望形成逻辑连贯。
二、Yes, I have a lovely cat. I think this pet-friendly service on high-speed trains is wonderful. It brings great convenience to pet lovers.(合理即可)
