Changes Influence Dogs Identify the Moods and Their Owners39。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。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的For their study biologist Corson Miller and his team exposed eleven selected dogs to digital images of women that were either angry or happy.可知，實驗人員通過屏幕向這些狗展示了一組女性面部表情的照片，這些表情中既有快樂的，也有憤怒的。故選D。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第五段中的They guess it may be because dogs find angry faces disgusting, causing them to withdraw quickly以及However可知，與前面意思相反，以及劃線詞后的disappear可知once the smart dogs realized they were getting rewarded, the trepidation seemed to disappear.…此句為，狗看到生氣的表情后會感到厭惡，并由此退縮，但是一旦聰明的狗意識到會有獎勵之后，它們的恐懼以及退縮就會消失。由此可判斷出A符合題意，故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。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。故選C。 （4）考查主旨大意。第一段提出文章的主旨即“每個狗的主人都知道他們的狗狗能很好地讀懂他們的情緒，但科學(xué)家們一直有點懷疑?，F(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。因此本文的最好的題目就是“狗能識別人的情緒”。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和主旨大意四個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，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。4．犇犇閱讀下面文章，然后從題中所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出每個問題的最佳選項。 My two and fouryearold boys love to win, whether they39。re racing their bikes down the sidewalk or just finishing their snacks. It39。s true that those with high status, from world leaders and prize winners to athletes and movie stars, are people we like and respect. A recent study published in Nature Human Behaviour showed that we seem to have an innate (天生的) preference for highranking peoples—but only if those people aren39。t hurtful toward others. Researchers showed toddlers (aged 21 to 31 months) a scene where two puppets (木偶) approached one another from opposite sides of a stage and one bowed to let the other pass first. Asked which puppet they liked better, 18 of the 21 toddlers in the experiment reached for the puppet who had been allowed to pass. Because respect from others is a marker of status, this suggests that children have a preference for those with a higher status—even before age three. However, the results were quite different when two puppets approached one another and one used force to knock the other down before continuing to the other side. In this case, 18 of the 21 toddlers reached for the one who was knocked down. As the researchers concluded, When approaching others, very young children care not only who wins, but also how. The previous experiment has shown that toddlers know about social status, but this experiment went one step further by proving they have an obvious preference for high status. Since the participants were so young, this might even be an innate human preference. In a word, this new research suggests that young children appreciate people who do well while at the same time doing good to others. So, when my fouryearold thinks that he has to get his shoes on first, I39。ll keep reminding him that helping his brother so they both finish faster is what winning is all about.（1）What do we tend to do according to the first paragraph? challenges all the time. highranking people. advantage of high status. others with offensive words.（2）Why did toddlers prefer the puppet allowed to pass? looked adorable. behaved smartly. seemed polite. was respected.（3）What can we infer from the latter study? people are better loved by toddlers. naturally dislike unkind behavior. care little about high social status. helpful contributes to being supported.（4）What should we do when we encourage children to win? them to use proper and creative ways. them to be as hardworking as possible. them to be considerate to other people. them to try to cooperate with someone else.【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了人們更傾向于喜歡和尊敬地位高而又無害于他人的人，這似乎是一種天性，即使是蹣跚學(xué)步的孩子也是如此。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“A recent study published in Nature Human Behaviour showed that we seem to have an innate（天生的）preference for highranking peoples—but only if those people aren39。t hurtful toward others.”可知，我們更傾向于敬佩那些地位高的人。故選B。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Asked which puppet they liked better, 18 of the 21 toddlers in the experiment reached for the puppet who had been allowed to pass. Because respect from others is a marker of status, this suggests that children have a preference for those with a higher status—even before age three.”可知，蹣跚學(xué)步的孩子喜歡那個被允許通過的木偶，是因為這種行為代表著受人尊敬，孩子們更喜歡受尊敬的人。故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“In this case, 18 of the 21 toddlers reached for the one who was knocked the participants were so young, this might even be an innate human preference.”可知，孩子們會走向被撞倒的人，而由于孩子太小，甚至可能是人類與生俱來的偏好。由此可推斷出，人們天生不喜歡不友善的行為。故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“In a word, this new research suggests that young children appreciate people who do well while at the same time doing good to others.”可知，孩子欣賞那些在做好事的同時表現(xiàn)出色的人。由此可推斷出，我們鼓勵孩子去贏的同時，提醒他們要體諒他人。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇科教類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．犇犇閱讀理解 News anchors(主播) must have been reluctant to read out the following news: Xin Xiaomeng began working as the world39。s first female artificial(人工的) intelligence news anchor at Xinhua News Agency on Sunday, three months after a male robot joined the profession. Unlike previous news robots though, Xin does not read news like a cold machine。 she reads it almost like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relaxand her reactions changeas she continues reading. That39。s why many news anchors were worried: Will AI replace us in the near future? To find the answer, we have to analyse the technologies that support Xin at her job. Three key technologies are used to support Xin. First, samples of human voices are collected and synth
