7、.CAfrican dogs are much bigger in size than domestic dogs.DAfrican dogs are much more dangerous than domestic dogs.答案:B解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中间的African wild dogs, which live in Africa, only have four toes, while domestic (驯养的) dogs and wolves have five.生活在非洲的非洲野狗只有四个脚趾,而家养的狗和狼有五个脚趾,由此可推断出B正确。2In Dr McNutts

13、 ways to protect their cows and sheep from African wild dogs instead of killing the animals.可知,大概只有不到6 000只非洲野狗了。人类捕猎他们,不想让他们去追赶牛和羊的农民毒死他们。人类(这样做)也在破坏他们赖以生存的野生、自然栖息地。幸运的是,今天更多的农民正在寻找其他方法来保护他们的牛羊免受非洲野狗的伤害,而不是杀死这些动物。由此可推断出杀死这些野狗也破坏了人类赖以生存的野生、自然栖息地。所以我们不能杀死它们。分析选项可知B项符合题意,故选B项。5Which of the following c
