tre goers.C. Each actor was asked to respond to different questions, based on two different premises (前提). In one, they were asked for their own perspective, while in the other, they were asked to respond as though they were either Romeo or Juliet.s head has always been something of a puzzle.3.犇犇閱讀理解 現(xiàn)在,有證據(jù)表明這是正確的”,接著在下文用硬實證明了這一點。根據(jù)最后一段中的......this confirmed what had been observed in previous studies―dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner可知,狗擅長辨別與自己主人性別相同的人的表情,由此推斷,讓主人是女性的狗來辨別男性面部表情的圖片是比較困難的。 (2)考查詞義猜測。s Mood Research【答案】 (1)D(2)A(3)C(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,最新的實驗發(fā)現(xiàn),即狗能夠識別人的面部表情的變化。 After some training like how to recognize small differences like the wrinkles between the eyes or the changes in their shape that acpany the happy or angry expressions, the dogs were mostly able to identify the correct expression not only on a familiar face but on a strange face. The researchers concluded the dogs were smart enough to read human emotions. Interestingly, the dogs were not provided with the entire face. Some dogs were shown only upper halves while the others observed lower halves. That39。故選C。根據(jù)Millipedes (千足蟲)部分中的“Their major defense is to curl up into a ball. They, though, also release a harm eyes, and leave a horrible smell on their attackers.”可知,千足蟲主要防守是蜷成一團。Opossum (負鼠)部分中的“In order to bee ‘dead’, they don39。Sea Hare (海兔)部分中的“The sea hare gives out a slimy, purple ink, the substance which makes food less palatable to predators.”可知,海兔身上散發(fā)出黏糊糊的紫色墨水,這種物質(zhì)使得捕食者對食物不那么感興趣,從而保護自己免受捕食者的傷害。D.C.B.The gas released by millipede was basically harmless.(3)The species that enjoys more than one defense mechanism is ________. A.giving off smelly gas to try to drive predators away(2)Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.t know how appealing it is.(1)The sea hare defends itself from predators by ________. A.s not the most popular dish in the seafood chain. Nonetheless this type of sea creature has a pretty creative smellrelated defense that is almost the opposite of its smelly panions on this list. The sea hare gives out a slimy, purple ink, the substance which makes food less palatable to predators. Sea Hare (海兔)t move any more than a human statue until the threat has passed.s eyes and face. Vulture (禿鴛) Vultures, are street sweepers that feast on the rotting flesh of dead animals, which benefits us by ridding our highways and landscapes of animal bodies and the bacteria they might carry. When vultures feel threatened they vomit, and the smell of vomitedon dead bodies puts of most predators. Throwing up allows the vulture to fly away more quicklyand the vomit can hurt the aggressor39。 Opossum (負鼠)t have to fax anyone a death certificate. They just lie there with their tongues hanging out with the smell of dead flesh, sometimes for hours, effectively convincing potential predators they can find a much fresher meal elsewhere.

They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to withdraw quickly. However, once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded, the trepidation seemed to disappear. In fact, the dogs had such a good time playing the puter game That scientists had a hard time keeping them away from the touch screens after the study was pleted.s happy or angry faces.(2)The underlined word trepidation in Paragraph 5 probably means ________. and hesitation and eagerness and happiness and sadness(3)According to the last paragraph, dogs with female owners ________. fond of the male faces uninterested in telling the emotions on the entire faces difficulty telling the moods on the faces of males only recognize emotions of females(4)What is the best title for this passage?

But for scientists, working out what is going on in an actor39。 Now, researchers have said actors show different patterns of brain activity depending on whether they are in character or not. almost like the character is possessing you. The results revealed that the brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested.

The team found that when the actors were in character, they use some thirdperson knowledge or inferences about their character.”結(jié)果顯示,大腦活動的不同取決于所測試的情境。根據(jù)最
