entists believe humans show their emotions on their entire face. While every dog owner knows their dogs can read their moods perfectly, scientists have always been a little doubtful. Now thanks to some researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria, we finally have some convincing evidence. The researchers also noticed only dogs with a male owner had a harder time understanding the expressions correctly. Since the touchscreen models were all females, this confirmed what has been observed in previous studies dogs are more efficient at reading facial expressions of people that are the same gender as their owner.(1)How did the scientists conduct the experiment? leaving dogs to women who are either happy or angry. mixing the selected dogs together. rewarding only half of the dogs touching the screen showing digital pictures of women39。由此可判斷出A符合題意,故選A。故選B。t take it seriously.

But if you did want to build a tidal power station, there are few better sites than the mouth of the River Severn, in Britain. Its tidal range, the difference in depth between high and low tides, of around 15 metres is among the largest in the world.s the best tittle for the text? invented turbines.39。根據(jù)第二段中的Engineers and governments have been toying with the idea since at least 1925.和最后一段中的Environmentalists also worry that any plant would change the tides, making life harder for wildlife.可知,工程師對潮汐電站的想法漫不經(jīng)心,環(huán)境主義者擔心它會給海洋生物帶來危險,所以最初人們對潮汐發(fā)電站都是不支持的。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查,是一篇科技類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。t necessarily innately conscientious. To find out, researchers at the University of Minnesota conducted a series of experiments. In the first experiment, they randomly assigned a group of collegeage students to spend time in two office spaces, one of which was very neat, the other wildly cluttered (亂堆) with papers and other workrelated stuff. The students spent their time filling out questionnaires unrelated to the study. After 10 minutes, they were told they could leave with an apple or a chocolate bar. Those students who sat in the orderly office were twice as likely to choose the apple as those who sat among the mess. those in the tidy office generally chose the classic version. Disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition, Dr. Vohs and her coauthors conclude in the study, which can produce fresh insights.

Two hundred and fifty of them, along with the supporting structures, would be floated into place and secured to the seabed, creating a line 15km long. Together, they could supply power at an avenge ate of 4GW. That is about as much as two biggish nuclear power stations would manage. Substituting one of the wheels with a set of locks would provide a shipping channel about twice the width of Panama Canal, permitting upstream ports such as Avonmouth and Cardiff to continue operating.(1)What is special about the mouth of the River Seven?
