Yes, say researchers as they have found that talented dogs may have the ability to grasp new words after hearing them only four times.While previous evidence seems to show that most dogs do not learn word
14、s, unless eventually very well trained, a few individuals have shown some extraordinary abilities, according to a study published in the journal Scientific Reports.“We wanted to know under which conditions the gifted dogs may learn novel words,” said researcher xuekw Claudia Fugazza from the Etvs Lo
15、rnd University in Hungary. For the study, the team involved two gifted dogs, Whisky and Vicky Nina. The team exposed the dogs to the new words in two different conditions.In the exclusion-based task, presented with seven known toys and one new toy, the dogs were able to select the new toy when prese
16、nted with a new name. Researchers say this proves that dogs can choose by exclusion when faced with a new word, they selected the only toy which did not have a known name.However, this was not the way they would learn the name of the toy. In fact, when they were presented with one more equally new n
17、ame to test their ability to recognize the toy by its name, the dogs got totally confused and failed.The other condition, the social one, where the dogs played with their owners who pronounced the name of the toy while playing with the dog, proved to be the successful way to learn the name of the to
18、y, even after hearing it only 4 times. “The rapid learning that we observed seems to equal childrens ability to learn many new words at a fast rate around the age of 18 months,” Fugazza says. “But we do not know whether the learning mechanisms(机制) behind this learning are the same for humans and dog
19、s. ”To test whether most dogs would learn words this way, 20 other dogs were tested in the same condition, but none of them showed any evidence of learning the toy names, confirming that the ability to learn words rapidly in the absence of formal training is very rare and is only present in a few gi
20、fted dogs.28. What was the purpose of the study published in Scientific Reports?A. To better train dogs ability to learn new words.B. To further confirm previous evidence about dogs.C. To prove extraordinary memory abilities of gifted dogs.D. To explore favorable conditions for gifted dogs new-word
21、learning.29. How did the dogs react when exposed to two new names in the first condition?A. Slow to understand. B. Quick to learn. C. At a loss. D. In a panic.30. What was found about dogs new-word learning in the social condition?A. Learning through playing applied to most dogs.B. The social condit
22、ion helped dogs learn new words.C. Dogs new-word learning turned out to be less effective.D. Dogs shared similar learning mechanisms with children.31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Gifted Dogs Can Learn New Words Rapidly.B. Dogs Identify Newly-named Toys by Exclusion.C. Do
23、gs Can Acquire Vocabulary through Tons of Training.D. Gifted Dogs Have Similar Learning Abilities to Humans.DHave you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a childa bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past，” as we say. But it is not a distant child
24、hood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the
25、most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listenandrepeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak th
26、e words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian becaus
27、e not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the
28、best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable
29、 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburghs website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listenandrepeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the d
30、oor for future research in this area.”32The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to _.Arecall the past Battract the readersCintroduce the topic Dcompare the childhood with the present33According to the passage which language doesnt share the same root with Germanic or Romance language
31、s?AHungarian. BSpanish. CItalian. DEnglish.34Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that _.Asinging is the best way to learn a languageBthe brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the wordsCa listenrepeat method is very effective for any language learnerDDr. Kati
32、e Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other35In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?AA mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.BA child is going to have his first music lesson.CA student is going to learn a new English song.DAn American is going to learn some Chinese
