【解析】

本文为应用文。你曾看到过动物被虐待吗？当你遇到这种情况时如何处理呢？当你看到或听到有关受虐的动物时，可能你会伤心、生气或害怕。好消息是现在你可以做很多事情来帮助这些受虐的动物。如注意观察你周围动物的表现；看到受伤的动物不要移动它们，看到有人虐待动物要告诉并求助你信赖的人；制作海报进行爱护动物的宣传，让更多的人来帮助动物。

1.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上句“看到宠物或野生动物受伤可能会让你伤心、生气或害怕” 和再根据后句“In fact，the good news is that everyone-including you-can be a helping hand for animals”根据后面的“in fact”及后面的句子可知，事实上，好消息是每个人包括你都能帮助那些受虐的动物，所以前句应提到你认为你无能为力，故选B。

2.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据Keep your eyes and ears open可知，建议你注意四周。言下之意要关注你周围邻居的宠物，以及后面的“Watch for changes in the way they look or act. Look out for animals who:…”注意它们的外表或行为方式的变化。可知，你要了解周围的宠物，分析选项可知，选E。

3.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上句“如果你看到这样的标志，把它们记下来”，后面的内容“What did you see or hear？Where？When？Were other people around？”可知，几个问句如你看到听到的、在哪里、什么时间等这些细节建议你即使记录下来，分析选项可知D项（或者如果你看到有人伤害动物，写下细节）符合题意，故选D。

4.考查概括段落大意能力。通过该段的介绍可知“Never move an injured animal! Ask a parent，teacher，or other…If the person mistreating animals is a friend or family member, tell an adult you trust.”不要移动一个受伤的动物，向父母、老师等人寻求帮助……如果有人虐待小动物，要告诉你信任的人。可知Report it..符合题意。短小精悍，语言简练是小标题的最大特点。故选G。

5.考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据最后一句“They need us to speak up for them! ”可知，动物需要我们为它们发声，可知此处的意思是“它们不会为自己发声”，而C项（记住，动物不能为自己说话）符合题意，故选C。
