问题     For many of us, pets have come to occupy critical roles in our
lives. The loneliness and isolation in some lifestyles can be softened
with a pet as a companion, because they are so faithful and loving.
People living alone say that, although before they dreaded returning        【M1】______.
home after work to a lonely house or apartment, with a dog, it’s
now a welcome respite. Always faithful, the dog is awaiting by the          【M2】______.
door, ready to give that welcome lick and a greeting with a wagged          【M3】______.
tail at the end of the day. And in a world of complex human relationships
resulting in divorce, the blending of families, and pressures to the        【M4】______.
working family, the demanding simplicity of the love offered or required    【M5】______.
by a pet can be a welcome contrast. According to Veterinarian
Carol Osborne, he runs VetSmart Care Clinics, Inc. in Cleveland,
Ohio, the "pet craze" that’s going on with these days is a reaction         【M6】______.
in our stressful lives.  "The world is going so fast, and      【M7】______.
everything’s changing," she says. "But when you come home, no
matter what problems you have or what you look like, no matter if
you got the job or lost the job, one constant in our lives that aren’t      【M8】______.
changing is that simple conditional love that is given to us by our         【M9】______.
pets," she points out.  Pet owners agree that animals do so many               
things for us and ask for nothing in turn but love.            【M10】______.
【M5】
选项
答案demanding改成undemanding
解析 语义衔接错误。此句解释了宠物狗成为让家成为受欢迎的休息场所的原因。前面提到了人类世界关系复杂，离婚很多，不同家庭的混合，上班族家庭的压力等等，通过句末的a welcome contrast可知，宠物给人的单纯的爱与前面种种构成对比，既然这种爱是简单、单纯的，demanding(要求高的)就不符合语境，应改成相反的undemanding(要求不高的)。
