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 for 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. Twothirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasnt 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 are 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 others language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”， and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”Whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in mon than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each others 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 this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets to people who dont 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.語篇解讀：人們一般認為在同一家庭中，狗與貓之間因為種種原因難以和諧相處，即使可以的話也只占極少部分。然而最近一項科學研究卻對這種看法提出了挑戰(zhàn)，研究結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)貓與狗之間存在著交流與學習。它們彼此互相學習各自的語言、深化認識，有助于促進相互間和平共處。既然動物之間都可以這樣主動改善關(guān)系，更何況我們?nèi)祟惸兀?The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “_” AearlyBsweetlyCquickly Dsmoothly解析：選D詞義猜測題。首段第一、二句就暗示人們普遍認為狗和貓是不能和諧相處的，而后面的研究與前面內(nèi)容形成對比：如果采取適當?shù)拇胧?，貓與狗之間是可以和平相處的，因而“swimmingly”應(yīng)該是“順利地；輕易地”之意。A、C兩項有悖常識；B項意為“甜蜜地；親切地”，程度過深，不合常理；D項smoothly意為“平穩(wěn)地；順利地”，切合題意。6What is found surprising about cats and dogs?AThey eat and sleep together. BThey observe each others behaviors.CThey learn to speak each others language. DThey know something from each others voices.解析：選C細節(jié)理解題。從第三段“researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each others language”得知這個令人吃驚的發(fā)現(xiàn)便是貓與狗竟然能夠互相學習對方的語言。7It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _.Ahave mon interests B.are less different than thoughtChave a mon body language D.are less intelligent than expected解析：選B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段可知事實上貓與狗之間存在更多的共同點，它們并沒有我們想象中的那么格格不入。8What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?AWe should learn to live in harmony. BWe should know more about animals.CWe should live in peace with animals.DWe should learn more body languages.解析：選A推理判斷題。細讀最后一段內(nèi)容我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)作者提出了反問：既然動物都可以學著和諧共存，更何況是技高一籌的人類？因而，通過貓與狗的研究可以得出我們?nèi)祟悜?yīng)該學會和諧相處。
