Maybe because they can understand our words much better than we thought, according to a study in Hungary. It found that dogs understand not only what we say, but also how we say it.The results were very exciting and very surprising, said the researcher Attila Andies, from Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest.For the study, the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months. The dogs had to sit quietly inside machines, so that the researchers could check their brain activity.Then the researchers put headphones on dogs and played peoples voices to them. There were four different voices. Some were positive words, such as well done, or neutral (不带感情色彩的) words like however. The words were also in different tones (音调). Some were positive and some were neutral.Brain scans (扫描) showed that the dogs could recognize words, as well as the tone of words, much like people do. The positive words with a positive tone brought the stronger activity in their brains reward centres (反应中枢).It shows that for dogs, a nice phrase can work very well as a prize, but it works best if both words and tones match, said Andies.They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right. Human brains work in the same way.It gave us a new understanding of language, said Andies. That is, not only do humans understand the meaning in words, other species (物种) do too.（1）What was found according to the study in Hungary? A . Dogs cant understand peoples words.B . Dogs can only understand what we say.C . Dogs can understand what we thought better than our words.D . Dogs understand not only what we say, but also how we say it.（2）Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the study? A . Researchers played with the dogs.B . Researchers made dogs sit inside machines.C . Researchers scanned the dogs brains.D . Researchers played peoples voices to the dogs.（3）Dogs think _ as a best prize. A . neutral words with a neutral toneB . neutral words with a positive toneC . positive words with a neutral toneD . positive words with a positive tone（4）What is the main idea of the passage? A . Dogs are as clever as humans.B . Dogs are good at learning humans language.C . Dogs can understand the meaning in words.D . Dogs can do what humans do.5. （6分）（2017贺州）阅读理解A根据表格内容，选择最佳选项，将其标号在答题卡上涂黑。（1）Who lost a yellow dog? A . Mary.B . David.C . Miss Li.D .

The engine in your body.B. The location, size and heartbeat of a heart.C. What happens when the heart beats?D. How does your heart work?E. How do we know about the heart?F. What can a doctor tell by feeling your pulse?_Your heart is located in your chest, a little to your left. This heart of yours, which is about the size of your two fists held together, beats about 90 times a minute. A grown persons heart beats about 60 to 80 times a minute. The heartbeat is not just the same in all persons, and it is not the same in any one person at all times._When your heart beats, it is pumping blood to all parts of your body. If you could examine your heart closely, you would see that it is really two pumps placed side by side, and working at the same time. Each pump has two parts, the upper part called the auricle (心房), and the lower part called the ventricle (心室). The auricles receive the blood as it comes into them after it has been pumped through the body. The ventricles pump the blood out. The right one pumps the blood to the lungs and the left one pumps the blood to all other parts of the body. At the top and bottom openings of each ventricle are valves (阀门) which make the blood go in only one direction._Your heart is sometimes called the engine or the motor in your body and sometimes called the pump. It works away, both day and night. First it pumps out some blood, rests for a few seconds, and then it pumps some more. In a normal day, the heart pumps about 2,500 gallons of blood from the auricles and ventricles._By using a stethoscope to listen to the heart, the doctor can tell whether your heart is beating evenly and whether the valves are closing tightly. The stethoscope makes these sounds so clear that the doctor can hear them easily. The stethoscope has an earpiece that he places on your chest and tubes that he places in his ear. The earpiece carries the sound or your hearts beating along the tubes to the doctors ears, and it makes the sound seem much louder than it really is. The doctor could listen to your heartbeat by pulling his ear against your chest._An easy experiment can help you understand what happens when the heart beats. You can do this experiment with a hollow rubber ball. Make a small hole in it, and fill the ball with water through the hole. When you squeeze the ball, you will notice how the water comes out in a spurt each time you squeeze. After each spurt the ball comes back to its round shape again. Something like this happens when your heart beats. The muscles（肌肉） in your heart grow smaller, or contract, and squeeze the blood out of the heart. Each time this happens, we say your heart is beating. Perhaps you have noticed that the doctor places his finger on the pulse in your wrist when you are ill. By doing this he can tell how fast your heart is beating. 七、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)14. （5分）李雷和他的同学要到圆山去春游。因为春天是爬山的最好时候。天气好，即不会太冷也不会太热。李雷和他的同学骑自行车去圆山，结果在路上，李雷拐错了弯，发生了交通事故，伤到了右腿。所以说遵守交通规则对于我们来说非常重要。 我们平时必须遵守 交通规则。 1. 注意交通灯。红灯停,绿灯行。 2.不要骑得太快，应该靠右边行。3. 骑车要小心，戴头盔。 4. 不能违反交通规则， 否则会被罚款。提示词: make a wrong turn , happen, traffic light, helmets, break, get a fine要求：1语言通顺，意思连贯 2. 70个词左右We should obey the traffic rules第 14 页 共 14 页参考答案一、 完形填空 (共1题；共10分)1-1、二、 阅读理解 (共4题；共32分)2-1、2-2、2-3、2-4、2-5、3-1、3-2、3-3、3-4、4-1、4-2、4-3、4-4、5-1、5-2、5-3、三、 选词填空 (共1题；共11分)6-1、6-2、6-3、6-4、6-5、6-6、6-7、6-8、6-9、6-10、四、 补全对话 (共1题；共5分)7-1、五、 根据中文提示补全句子，每空一词。 (共5题；共24分)8-1、9-1、10-1、11-1、11-2、11-3、11-4、11-5、12-1、六、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共5分)13-1、七、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)14-1、
