1.1.

A him

B her

C us

D me

解析：选A。1.A考查人称代词宾格的用法。前文提到“a man”按门铃，主人出现并“告诉”某人狗在后院，此处应指“告诉这个男人”，故用代词宾格him指代“他”。故选A。

2.2.

A advises

B agrees

C replies

D believes

解析：选C。2.C 考查动词辨析与上下文逻辑。前文男人问“You talk?”，狗回答“Yep”，此处应选择表示“回答”的动词。advises（建议）、agrees（同意）、believes（相信）均不符合对话回应语境，replies（回答）最恰当。故选C。

3.3.

A tired

B shocked

C upset

D blind

解析：选B。3.B 考查形容词辨析与语境理解。狗突然说话，男人感到“震惊”，后文也提到他“can’t believe what he hears”，因此shocked（震惊的）符合文意。tired（疲倦的）、upset（沮丧的）、blind（瞎的）均不符合。故选B。

4.4.

A when

B after

C if

D until

解析：选A。4.A 考查时间状语从句连词。句意为“我发现自己能说话是在很小的时候”，表示“当……时”用when。after（在……之后）、if（如果）、until（直到）均不符合时间逻辑。故选A。

5.5.

A carrying

B training

C resting

D flying

解析：选D。5.D 考查动词辨析与上下文呼应。后文提到“flying around really tired me out”（飞来飞去让我疲惫），说明狗被派往各国时是乘飞机往返，因此have sb. doing结构表示“让某人持续做某事”，flying最贴合间谍工作的跨国旅行特点。故选D。

6.6.

A other

B another

C others

D the other

解析：选B。6.B 考查不定代词辨析。狗决定换一份“另一份”工作（泛指多个工作中的另一个），用another。other后常接复数名词；others是代词，单独使用；the other指两者中的另一个，均不符合语境。故选B。

7.7.

A changed

B argued

C pushed

D helped

解析：选D。7.D考查动词辨析与逻辑搭配。狗在机场做安保工作，应“帮助”机场发现可疑人物。changed（改变）、argued（争论）、pushed（推）均与安保职责不符。故选D。

8.8.

A dog

B house

C job

D puppy

解析：选A。8.A考查名词辨析与篇章指代。全文围绕“卖狗”展开，男人询问的自然是狗的价格。house（房子）、job（工作）、puppy（小狗）均与前文“Talking Dog For Sale”无关。故选A。

9.9.

A cheap

B expensive

C high

D far

解析：选A。9.A考查形容词辨析与语境理解。主人只卖10美元，男人惊讶于价格之低，故用cheap（便宜的）。expensive（昂贵的）、high（高的）、far（远的）均与低价矛盾。故选A。

10.10.

A preparation

B prediction

C lie

D promise

解析：选C。10.C考查名词辨析与语境。主人低价卖狗的原因是狗撒谎（从未做过那些事）。preparation（准备）、prediction（预测）、promise（承诺）均无法解释主人对狗的不信任。故选C。
