A、The cultural differences were stunning, and made for plenty of laughter and confusion, but always ended up bringing smiles to our faces. What’s funny now, though, more than ever, is how ridiculous I must have seemed to the people of one village when I played with their dog.Apparently, the role of dogs inAmerica is nothing like it is inAfric
A、
I am convinced thatAfrican dogs could clobber theirAmerican counterparts, if only becauseAfrican dogs are forced to be self-reliant. The relationship between a typicalAfrican dog and his owner is one of tangible mutualism. I say tangible because theAfrican sees himself as the dominant creature not to be bothered by the dog, but nevertheless responsible for providing for it. Hence, no attempts at behavioral training are ever made withAfrican dogs. Instead, theAfrican seizes power with a chunk of scrap meat and a bowl of water. The dog soon learns to quit yapping and biting at the hand that feeds him. Never does theAfrican speak to the animal. I’m not even sure such dogs get names. Their behavior becomes interestingly balanced, however, much to the surprise of the compassionateAmerican dog lover.
According to information provided by the passage, which of the following traits would the author most likely ascribe toAfrican dog owners

A、affectionate
B、abusive
C、pragmatic
D、deceitful
E、antagonistic

网考网解析：
According to the passage, Africans do not speak to their dogs or give them names, which would eliminate "affectionate." However, the relationship is never described in negative terms. Instead, its "tangible mutualism" implies a pragmatic or practical approach. document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
