【题目】 Can dogs and cats get along well in the same home? People are thinking about getting a dog for their cat as a friend, but they are worried about that the dog and the cat will fight. A recent research has found that if the cat is taken back home before the dog, and if they are introduced when they are still youngless than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs, it is possible that the two pets will get along swimmingly. In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship(关系).

However, there was something unfriendly between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(侵略, 好斗)and fighting were found in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different. For example, when a cat turns its head away, it means aggression. while a dog doing the same means submission(顺从).

In homes with cats and dogs living in peace, researchers found a surprising behavior(行为). 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".

The interesting thing is that both cats and dogs seem to become smarter. They can learn to read each other's body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common(共同的)than was expected(预料). If they understand each other's body language very well, cats and dogs can play together, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa.

The importance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond(超过)pets—to people who don't get along well, including neighbours, workmates at work, and even countries. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

1The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

A.早早地B.主要地C.迅速地D.顺畅地

2Some cats and dogs may fight when ______.

A.they are cold to each otherB.they look away from each other

3What can people find surprising about cats and dogs?

A.They eat and sleep together.B.They watch each other's behaviors.

C.They learn to speak each other's language.D.They know something from each other's voices.

4In Paragraph 4 we can learn that cats and dogs ______.

A.have common interestsB.are less different than was thought

C.have a common body languageD.are not so smart as was expected

5What can we learn from cats and dogs?

A.We should learn to get along well with others.B.We should know more about animals.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。通过科学研究表明猫和狗在一定的情况下是能够和平相处的。如果先收养猫并且猫不到6个,狗不到一年,他们就能顺利地和平相处。通过观察他们不能和平相处的原因是他们之间误解了彼此的身体语言而造成的。但有趣的是猫和狗能够相互学习彼此的身体语言,这样他们就能和平相处。

1词义猜测题。题干:第一段的划线单词“swimmingly”的意思最接近哪一个?根据下文的“In two-thirds of the homes cats and dogs have a good relationship在三分之二的家庭中,猫和狗的关系很好”,可知,如果先收养猫并且猫不到6个,狗不到一年,他们就能顺利的和平相处。故“swimmingly”和选项D意思一致。故选D

2细节理解题。题干:当_______时候,有些猫和狗可能会打架。根据第二段的“One reason for this is probably that some of their body languages are just different.”,可知,有些猫和狗可能会打架的原因之一可能是他们的一些肢体语言不同,也就是因为误解。故选C

3细节理解题。题干:人们对猫和狗有什么惊奇之处?根据第三段的“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".”,可知,他们正在学习如何说彼此的语言,令人惊讶的是,猫能学会说“狗”,狗能学会说“猫”。故选C

4细节理解题。题干:在第4段中,我们可以学到猫和狗_______。根据第四段的“They can learn to read each other's body languages, suggesting that the two may have more in common(共同的)than was expected(预料)”,可知,他们可以学会读懂对方的肢体语言,这表明两种动物的共同点可能比我们预期的要多,也就是他们的差别比我们认为的要更小一些。故选B

5推理判断题。题干:我们能从猫和狗身上学到什么?根据文章的最后一段可知,在动物王国,人们公认的猫和狗都能和平相处,何况人呢?也就是人们能从猫狗的身上学会和平相处。故选A

【题目】 What do you see when you look at abstract(抽象) art? Does it make sense to you? Does it look like anything? Is it supposed to?

Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or sculpt things exactly(确切地) like they looked. They didn't want their art to be realistic. They were more interested in basic shapes and colours.

Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles. Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours (his "blue period"). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his "rose period"). Many of his other paintings are called "cubist(立体画派)" because they are made of painted squares.

After a long time, Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and things using strange shapes. His work was so original; many of his fellow artists didn't understand it.

Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings.

Other artists like the surrealists(超现实主义者), were interested in subconscious(潜意识). Painters like Breton and Magritte used many symbol in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that look like dreams.

There are still many abstract artists around the world. That's the way many artists prefer. They want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.

1Which would be most like abstract art?

A.A painting of a house.

B.A sculpture of a car.

C.A drawing of two people in a coffee house.

D.A red and blue painting, with no clear subject.

2What happened to Picasso's work after a long time?

A.It became more abstract.

B.It became less original.

C.He went from using red colours to using blue colours.

D.He only painted with coloured squares.

3How did Kandinsky express feelings?

A.By using colours and shapes.

B.By painting realistic people.

C.By painting with a lot of symbols.

D.By painting in red and pink colours.

4Who is probably the most famous abstract artist?

A.Breton.B.Dali.C.Picasso.D.Magritte.

5Which of the following is NOT true?

A.Picasso painted in many different styles.

B.Dali was interested in dreams.

C.Abstract artists feel each work of art only has one meaning.

D.Magritte's art was full of symbols.
