三、阅读短文，从方框中选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。（选项中有一项多余）
Many people like to keep pets. 1 But do you want to know more about pets?
Dogs and cats are popular pets. 2 Rabbits and turtles can be good pets. They are quiet. Birds can be good pets too. But monkeys, bears and crocodiles（鳄鱼）are not good pets. They look kind of scary. 3
All pets need good care. You have to be friendly to them and get them the right food to eat and the right place to live in. They also need exercise. Some pets are very hard to care for. 4 For example, hedgehogs（刺猬）need special food. They are also very shy, so they need to have their own rooms.
5 But if you are friendly and patient（耐心的）, you will have fun with them.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

1.B 2.F 3.E 4.D 5.C

我们可以根据上下文逻辑逐一匹配选项：
1. 空前句提到“很多人喜欢养宠物”，此处需要说明人们喜爱宠物的原因，B选项“宠物聪明又可爱”符合语境，自然引出后文想要了解更多宠物相关内容的提问。
2. 空前句说明猫狗是很受欢迎的宠物，空后介绍兔子、乌龟这类不同的宠物也可以是好宠物，F选项“但是有些人喜欢不同种类的宠物”起到过渡作用，衔接常见宠物和其他小众宠物。
3. 空前句说明猴子、熊、鳄鱼这类动物看起来有点吓人，E选项“它们也可能很危险”是对这类动物不适合当宠物的补充说明，逻辑连贯。
4. 空前句提到有些宠物很难照料，空后举例刺猬需要特殊食物，D选项“它们通常需要特殊的食物”承上启下，对应后文的举例内容。
5. 空后句以But转折，说明只要友好有耐心就能和宠物玩得开心，C选项“养宠物并不容易”和后文构成转折关系，符合逻辑。
本题多余选项为A。

四、短文填空。
