问题     Humans not only love eating ice cream, they enjoy (1)_____ it to their pets. Market studies show that two thirds of all dog owners give ice cream to the dogs. (2)_____, says William Tyznik, an expert in animal nutrition at Ohio State University, ice cream is not good for dogs. "It has milk sugar in it," he says, "which dogs cannot (3)_____ very well."
    (4)_____ by that knowledge but aware of the desire of dog owners to (5)_____ their companions, Tyznik invented a new frozen treat for dogs that, he says, is more nutritious than ice cream—and as much (6)_____ to eat. The product, called Frosty Paws, is made of a liquid byproduct of cheese and milk with the sugar (7)_____. Frosty Paws also contains refined soy flour, water, vegetable oil, vitamins and minerals. It (8)_____ Tyznik, who has also invented a horse food (called Tizwhiz) and (9)_____ dog food (named Tizbits), three years to (10)_____ the Frosty Paws formulas, and two (11)_____ to commercialize it. After losing $25,000 trying to market the invention himself, Tyznik sold the rights to Associated Ice Cream of Westerville, Ohio, which makes the product and (12)_____ it in cups.
    Tyznik claims that Frosty Paws has been tested (13)_____ and that "dogs love it". Of 1,400 dogs that have been (14)_____ the product, he says, 89 percent took it on the first (15)_____. Three out of four (16)_____ it to Milk-Bone or sausages. The product, which will be (17)_____ in the ice cream section of supermarkets, comes in (18)_____ of three or four cups, costing about $1.79.
    What would happen (19)_____ a human should mistake Frosty Paws for real ice cream? Nothing, says Tyznik. It’s (20)_____, but frankly, he says, it won’t taste very good.

选项 A、preferred
B、compared
C、attributed
D、related
答案A
解析 本题的考点为动词的词义及用法辨析。这句话是说"四只狗里面有三只相对于Mike-Bone或香肠而言______它(Frosty Paws)"，且该段第一句提到Tyznik称 Frosty Paws已广泛进行了验证并且狗喜欢它，由此可推知这里应表示相对于其他产品更喜欢Frosty Paws的意思，所以preferred"更喜爱"，prefer...to..."相对于…更喜欢…"，为固定搭配，符合文意。compared"比较"，compare...to..."把…比作…"；attributed"把…归因于"，attribute...to..."把…归因于…"；related"使相关"，relate...to..."把…与…联系起来"。因此这三项都不正确。
