37、g that time, they listened through headphones to their trainers voices. Dog owners may think the news is not surprising. But scientists are impressed. Brian Hare is a professor at Duke University. He called one of the findings a “shocker.”The brain imaging showed dogs processed words using the left

Meaningful words said in a neutral (中性的) way did not have the same effect as the same words said in an encouraging way.Att
39、ila Andics was the lead researcher on the project. “Dog brains care about both what we say and how we say it,” he said. Researchers say they think dogs are tuned in to what people say because dogs have lived with people for a long time. Andics said he thinks other animals probably can understand hum

D. 细节理解题。根据“University of Oxford, England”中的信息：It gained a lot of po
70、pularity in the early 1167, as Henry II put a ban on English students from entering the University of Paris. 可知，正确答案应为D项。22. A. 推理判断题。根据“University of Salamanca, Spain”中的信息：Christopher Columbus is said to have consulted with its scholars when he was seeking a route to Indies. 可知，正确答案应为A项。23. C. 细节理解
71、题。根据“University of Padua, Italy”中的信息：Theology (神学) and law were the first subjects taught here. 可知，正确答案应为C项。B篇：【语篇导读】：微小的海洋浮游植物是海洋生物赖以生存的食物。海洋水温的上升会影响海洋浮游生物的生存，从而导致影响海洋生物食物链，最终会影响到人类的食物来源。28. B. 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的信息： pedestrians (行人)often do not realize how close they are to air pollution sources because
72、 they cannot see them. 行人经常不能意识到他们距离空气污染源是多么的近，这是因为人们看不见这些空气污染源。所以下划线所在的句子：air pollution, although its a major public health problem, is actually invisible. 意为“空气污染虽然是一个公众健康的主要问题，它实际上是看不见的”。因此该下划线词的含义是“看不见的”，与B项含义相同。29. D. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的信息可知，来自柴油机车的有毒气体、烟尘以及二氧化氮是影响人们健康问题的主要污染物，没有提到柴油机发出的水蒸气。故正确答案为D.3
73、0. C. 段落结构题。文章第三段在谈及空气污染是人们看不到的东西时，用了这样的信息：Not like thesmogsof the 1950s and 60s when not only could you see it, you could barely see anything else. 不像20世纪50和60年代的烟雾一样，当时人们不禁能够看到（烟雾），而且人们看不到任何其它东西。显然这是在通过对比的方式来说明问题。因此故正确答案为C.31. A. 细节理解题。根据最后一段首句：Experts say electric cars could offer the answer to a
74、ir pollution in major cities. 可知，专家们认为使用电动汽车或许为解决大城市空气污染提供答案（解决办法）。故正确答案为A.D篇：【语篇导读】： 【语篇导读】：你的宠物或许是一只可爱的狗狗，它真的会听懂你的语言。最近匈牙利一所大学的研究人员通过实验证实了这个说法。所以，今后你在狗狗面前说话可要多加小心了！32. A. 细节理解题。根据第四段首句：The brain imaging showed dogs processed words using the left side of their brains, just as humans do. 可知，人类和狗狗一样使
75、用左大脑处理词汇。根据第四段最后一句可知，B项错误；根据第五段倒数第二句可知，C项错误：根据第三段第一句可知，D项错误。33. B. 代词指代题。根据该词前面一句话：The brain imaging showed dogs processed words using the left side of their brains, 大脑成像表明狗狗是使用左大脑来处理词语。接下来，就应该说，它们（狗狗）使用右大脑来理解语气和语调。所以此处的they 指代的应是dogs。故答案为B.34. C. 段落结构题。根据文章最后一段的最后三句话可知，该段主要是通过例举一些养狗人的说法来进一步说明“狗狗确实能
76、够理解人”这个观点。故答案为C.35. D. 写作意图题。通读全文内容可知，作者写这篇文章目的在于告诉读者一个事实，那就是“狗狗的确懂得人们所说的话”，并通过研究人员的实验进一步解释了该观点。故正确答案为D.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）3640 FEDGA第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题，每题1.5分，满分30分）41-45 CDBAD46-50 ABCCB51-55 BADDC56-60 CCADB语法填空答案:61.was 62.warning 63.out 64.that 65.more 66.has emerged petitive
