1.Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home?People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight.A recent research has found a new recipe of success.According to the study,if the cat is adopted before the dog,and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats,a year for dogs),it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.
     However,it wasn't all sweetness and light.There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes,while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes.One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.For example,when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression,while a dog doing the same signals submission.
     In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully,researchers observed a surprising behavior.They are learning how to talk each other's language.It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk‘dog'and dogs can learn how to talk‘Cat'.
    What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence.They can learn how to read each other's body signals,suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected.Once familiar with each other's presence and body language,cats and dogs can play together,greet each other nose to nose,and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.
    The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets─to people who don't get along,including neighbors,colleagues at work,and even world superpowers.If cats and dogs can learn to get along,surely people have a good chance.
29.Some cats and dogs may fight whenA  
A.they misunderstood each other's signals
B.they look away from each other
C.they are cold to each other
D.they are introduced at an early age
30.What is found surprising about cats and dogs?.B
A.They eat and sleep each other.
B.They learn to speak each other's language.
C.They observe each other's behaviors.
D.They know something from each other's voices.
31.It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogsC.
A.have common interests
B.have a common body language
C.a(chǎn)re less different than was thought
D.a(chǎn)re less intelligent than was expected
32.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?C
A.We should live in peace with animals.
B.We should know more about animals.
C.We should learn to live in harmony.
D.We should learn more body languages.

分析 本文講述科學(xué)家們研究發(fā)現(xiàn):貓和狗能否和諧相處主要由它們最初在一起的年齡來決定,貓狗學(xué)會了對方的語言,他們似乎開發(fā)了智力,能讀懂對方的肢體信號,對對方有了更多的了解,就可以和睦相處.由此推斷,我們?nèi)祟惸芘冀梃b它們的關(guān)系,我們?nèi)伺c人之間也應(yīng)當(dāng)可以學(xué)會和睦相處.

解答 29.A    推理判斷.由第二段One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.For example,when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression,while a dog doing the same signals submission.可知.他們打架的原因之一是他們的身體信號(身勢語)是相反的,如貓將頭偏開意味著要進(jìn)攻,而狗將頭偏開則意味著投降.由此推知,兩者會因身勢語不同產(chǎn)生誤會,結(jié)果就會打起來.故選A.
330.B    細(xì)節(jié)理解.由第三段They are learning how to talk each other's language.可知.他們學(xué)會了講對方的語言(body signals),即懂得對方的身體信號.故選B.
31.C     細(xì)節(jié)理解.由第四段第四句可知.只是用"areless different (不同點(diǎn)更少了)"替代了原文的"have more in common (共同點(diǎn)更多了)";用同義詞thought來替代suspected.(近義替換)
32.C     推理判斷.由最后一段最后一句"If cats and dogs can learn to get along,surely people have a good chance."可以推知.理解句子本意:如果貓和狗都可以學(xué)會和睦相處,人與人之間就一定能有可能(和睦相處);據(jù)此推斷:既然人與人之間就一定能有可能(和睦相處),我們?yōu)槭裁床粚W(xué)會和睦相處呢?即"我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會和睦相處".故選C.

點(diǎn)評 本文是社會文化類閱讀理解.做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對文章通讀一遍,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).

6.On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land,we watch the lines of rain move across the scene,the moon rise over the hills,and the stars appear in the sky.The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.
Every window in our wooden house has a view,and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before.Each look reminds us where we are.
There is space for our three boys to play outside,to shoot arrows,collect tree seeds,build earth houses and climb trees.
Our kids have learned the names of the trees,and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation.As they tell all who show even a passing interest,maple(楓樹)makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.
The air is clean and fresh.The water from the well has a pleasant taste,and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink.Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water,they never say anything against that.
The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars'(楊樹)putting out the first green leaves of spring.The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears,and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter.A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.
