本文是一篇说明文，介绍了有着特殊用途的狗——治疗犬。它们能给病人带来心理上的安慰，能成为孩子的朋友。
1．a 解析：考查冠词。依据本句中的“very popular pet”可知，此处应用不定冠词，表示泛指。
2．to_do 解析：考查固定用法。本句中应用不定式作后置定语，have sth. to do表示“要做某事”。
3．are_known 解析：考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，本句话缺少谓语动词，“a group of＋名词复数”作主语时，谓语动词用复数，dogs与know是动宾关系，此处描述的是一般情况，因此用一般现在时的被动语态。
4．which 解析：考查定语从句。这是一个非限制性定语从句，先行词为“special training”。
5．in 解析：考查介词。由句意可知，这些治疗犬可以到公共场所安抚那些需要帮助的人。in need表示“在困难时，在危难之中”，为固定搭配。
6．petting 解析：考查非谓语动词。have fun (in) doing sth.表示“做某事有乐趣”。
7．pressure 解析：考查名词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用名词，blood pressure表示“血压”。
8．their 解析：考查代词。修饰名词mood要用形容词性物主代词，故用their。
9．friends 解析：考查名词的数。根据句子的主语They可知，此处用名词复数。
10．more 解析：考查比较级。句中的but暗示这些狗对孩子来讲不仅仅是朋友，它们会做得更多。
Ⅳ.短文改错
(2019·吉林一中检测)
There is a old couple living near our school. They have lived a simple and peace life until the husband was diagnosed with a rare illness. A lot of attempt had been made to hide the fact which the old man developed a serious illness. Therefore, he finally learned the secret. Instead of losing his heart the old man hugged his wife tightly, convincing her that he wouldn't easily give up. Many a person were moved to tears, included me. I always believe God helps those whoever help themselves.
答案与解析
1．a→an 考查冠词。old是以元音音素开头的形容词，因此把a改为an。
2．have→had 考查时态。从“until the husband was diagnosed with a rare illness”看，主句表达过去的过去，因此用过去完成时。
3．peace→peaceful 考查形容词。life前有simple和peaceful两个形容词修饰。
4．attempt→attempts 考查名词的单复数形式。attempt前有a lot of修饰，因此应该用复数形式。
5．which→that 考查名词性从句。that在这里引导同位语从句，说明fact的内容。
6．Therefore→However 考查连词。分析前后的句子我们知道，这里表达转折。
7．去掉his 考查动词短语。lose one's heart意思是“喜爱”，而此处表达“丧失信心”，因此去掉his。
8．were→was 考查主谓一致。本句的主语是person，为名词单数，因此谓语动词用单数。
9．included→including 考查非谓语动词。此处including me为动词ing短语作定语。
10．whoever→who 考查定语从句。who引导定语从句，修饰those。
