科目:高中英語 來源:2015屆福建莆田第八中學(xué)高三上第三次月考英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

Are you a dog person or a cat person?

With so many photos and videos of cats and dogs doing cute things online, it’s easier than ever to answer which of these furry friends you like more. There are many reasons why people prefer one type of pet over the other. So, have you ever wondered what your preference for cats or dogs says about you?

In fact, a 2010 study done by Sam Gosling, a psychologist at the University of Texas, US, and his graduate student Carson Sandy found that dog people are more extroverted (外向的), agreeable and con- scientious (認(rèn)真的) than cat people.

“Cats will occasionally engage in social activities, but usually after only a few minutes they will abandon the game. Dogs, on the other hand, will often engage in play, like fetching a thrown ball, for hours at a time,” said Modern Dog magazine.

Just on the basis of dogs’ nature being more sociable than cats’, you may expect that the personalities of dog people also reflect higher sociability. And Gosling’s study found that dog people are generally about 15 percent more extroverted and 13 percent more agreeable, both of which are linked with social orientation (態(tài)度).

In addition, dog people are 11 percent more conscientious than cat people. “Conscientiousness” is a tendency (趨勢) to show self-discipline (自律), to complete tasks and aim for achievement. This trait (特點) also shows a preference for planned rather than spontaneous (一時沖動的) behavior.

In comparison, cat people are about 12 percent more anxious, but they are also 11 percent more “open” than dog people, due to a general appreciation for art, emotion, imagination, curiosity, adventure, unusual ideas and variety of experience. And people high on openness are more likely to hold unconventional (非傳統(tǒng)的) beliefs.

Despite vast differences, there are some things that cat people and dog people have in common. “Both types of people consider themselves close to nature, dislike animal-print clothing and are generally optimists,” noted Mother Nature Network.

1.What does the article mainly talk about?

A. Differences between dogs and cats in their personality traits.

B. Factors that influence people’s preference for dogs or cats.

C. How raising a pet helps shape your personality.

D. What your preference for dogs or cats tells about you.

2.The underlined phrase “engage in” in the fourth paragraph probably means______.

A. get involved in B. benefit from

C. take little interest in D. perform well in

3.According to the study done by Sam Gosling, dog owners tend to ______ than cat owners.

A. be more imaginative and creative

B. live a more organized life

C. love to get close to nature more

D. be more easygoing and adventurous

4.According to the article, both dog people and cat people ______.

A. are generally self-disciplined

B. are usually positive and care about nature

C. are likely to hold unconventional beliefs

D. like to wear animal-print clothing
