(答案→)C
解析：
1.C 首选我们要定位到raccoon这一栏，从文中Against the law to keep in many states in the U.S可知在美国很多州都违反了法律，换句说就是不允许的（not allowed），故选C。
2.B 我们定位到good points这一栏，很容易发现rabbits是Easy to keep，cats是Easy to feed & care for，故选B。
3.C 细节题的考查，我们要从bad points入手。从May kill birds这一点我们发现说的是cats，故养鸟时要注意猫，选C。
4.A 定位到狗这一栏，我们从bad points发现狗May bite(咬)if angry，是说生气是咬人，故有可能伤到你，选A。
5. B主旨题。全文介绍了不同的动物的good points和 bad points两个方面，其目的在于：
we hope it may help you make the best choice（选择），故是为了帮助我们更好地选择宠物，故选B。
