Many people adopt dogs and cats from animal shelters. Sometimes, these pets come from far away. In the warm British Virgin Islands, Vijay Bissoondutt runs the only animal shelter in the area. For 29 years, he has helped homeless animals from many islands.

Vijay and his team find animals that are lost or treated badly and bring them to the shelter. Last year, they built a bigger shelter. Now, it has space for 75 dogs and 19 cats to live comfortably. The animals enjoy more room to play and relax. Vijay takes care of them by feeding, playing, and exercising with them.

When someone wants to adopt, Vijay teaches them how to be a good owner. “Remember,” he says, “pets need plenty of water and shade because it’s so hot here.” He also tells owners that pets need yearly vaccinations (接种疫苗), healthy food, and regular check-ups at the vet. Exercise is important too — without it, a dog might feel bored and start chewing (啃咬) things.

Vijay believes working with animals is a job full of love. It isn’t easy, but it makes him happy. “The best reward is seeing a dog wag its tail happily,” he smiles. He advises young animal lovers to volunteer at local shelters first. For him, giving animals a new start is the most meaningful work.

1.1.What do we know about Vijay’s animal shelter?

A It is newly built.

B It is the only one there.

C It is very large.

D It is world-famous.

解析：选B。1.B细节理解题。文章第一段明确提到：“In the warm British Virgin Islands, Vijay Bissoondutt runs the only animal shelter in the area.”（在温暖的英属维尔京群岛，Vijay Bissoondutt 经营着该地区唯一的动物收容所。）因此，B 选项“It is the only one there.”（它是那里唯一的一个）是正确答案。A 选项说它是新建的，但文中提到他经营收容所已有29年，只是去年扩建了，因此“newly built”不准确；C 选项说它非常大，文中提到可容纳75只狗和19只猫，但并未评价其规模是否“非常庞大”；D 选项说它世界闻名，文中未提及。故选B。

2.2. What change did the new shelter bring?

A More volunteers joined.

B Vijay’s work became easier.

C Animals got more space.

D More cats were accepted.

解析：选C。2.C细节理解题。第二段中提到：“Last year, they built a bigger shelter. Now, it has space for 75 dogs and 19 cats to live comfortably. The animals enjoy more room to play and relax.”（去年，他们建了一个更大的收容所。现在，它有空间让75只狗和19只猫舒适生活。动物们有更多玩耍和休息的空间。）因此，C 选项“Animals got more space.”（动物们获得了更多空间）是原文直接信息。A 选项“更多志愿者加入”、B 选项“Vijay 的工作变得更轻松”和 D 选项“接收了更多猫”均未在文中提及。故选C。

3.3. Why does Vijay tell pet owners to offer shade for pets?

A Because the pets are weak.

B Because the weather is hot.

C Because it keeps pets clean.

D Because the sun is helpful.

解析：选B。3.B细节理解题。第三段中 Vijay 说：“Remember, pets need plenty of water and shade because it’s so hot here.”（记住，宠物需要充足的水和阴凉，因为这里非常热。）因此，提供阴凉的原因是天气炎热，B 选项“Because the weather is hot.”（因为天气炎热）是原文直接原因。A 选项“因为宠物虚弱”、C 选项“因为它能让宠物保持清洁”和 D 选项“因为阳光有益”均与原文不符。故选B。

4.4. What does Vijay value most in his job?

A Seeing animals happy again.

B Earning enough money.

C Becoming famous online.

D Working without effort.

解析：选A。4.A推理判断题。文章最后一段提到：“The best reward is seeing a dog wag its tail happily...”（最好的回报是看到狗快乐地摇尾巴……）这表明 Vijay 最看重的是动物重获快乐。A 选项“Seeing animals happy again.”（看到动物再次快乐）与此一致。B 选项“赚足够多的钱”、C 选项“在网上出名”和 D 选项“不费力气地工作”均与文章内容不符，且文中未体现。故选A。

5.5. What is the main idea of the passage?

A How to care for pets.

B Tips for adopting animals.

C Stories of homeless animals.

D Vijay and his animal shelter.

解析：选D。5.D主旨大意题。全文围绕 Vijay 在英属维尔京群岛经营动物收容所的工作展开，包括收容所的扩建、对动物的照料、对领养者的建议以及他的工作理念。因此，D 选项“Vijay and his animal shelter.”（Vijay 和他的动物收容所）最全面地概括了文章主旨。A 选项“如何照顾宠物”和 B 选项“领养动物的建议”只是文中部分内容；C 选项“流浪动物的故事”过于宽泛，未突出人物和收容所的核心角色。故选D。
