模块3U3一、阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。Some pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic，according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare.The study，published in the journal Biology Letters，is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal，influencing judgment.Asher，a researcher at the University of Newcastles Institute of Neuroscience，and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment.One reflected standard mercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft，deep straw.After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks，the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.“To do this，we trained each pig.In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweetspigs love themand at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans，which pigs find bittertasting，”a researcher said.Over a number of training trials，pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets.On the contrary，they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations，to see how the pigs would react.Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside，showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets.Others，however，behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans，displaying pessimism.The findings suggest that a onesizefitsall answer to animal welfare issues does not exist.Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people，there is still cause for concern.Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.1What was the study trying to figure out?AHow to make pigs happier.BThe similarities between humans and pigs.CHow living environment affected pigs mood.DHow pigs mood and personality affected their judgment.2What does the underlined word “cushier”in Paragraph 2 mean?ASimple.

DLess free.3Which bowl can test whether a pig is optimistic or pessimistic?AThe bowl with chocolate sweets.BThe bowl containing coffee beans.CThe bowl full of both sweets and beans.DThe bowl unfamiliar to two types of pigs.4What do the findings of the new research imply?APeople should treat pigs equally.BPeoples health relies on meat quality.CPeople should meet pigs various needs.DPeoples attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.【解题导语】本文是一篇研究报告，讲述情绪和性格在动物中的相互作用。【段意梳理】第一段：概述情绪和性格在动物中的相互作用，这些相互作用会影响它们的判断。第二至五段：研究者Asher和她的研究团队把猪分成两组进行实验的过程。第六段：根据实验结果，研究人员进行分析和总结。1D考查细节理解。根据文章第一段第二句“The study，published in the journal Biology Letters，is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal, influencing judgment”可知，选项D的概括符合题意。所以选项D正确。2B考查词义猜测。根据画线词后的“more space and plenty of soft, deep straw”可知，另一个环境很舒适。所以选项B正确。3D考查细节理解。根据第五段第一句“The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations, to see how the pigs would react”以及该段后两句的对比描述可知，D选项与第五段内容一致。所以选项D正确。4C考查推理判断。根据最后一段尤其是最后一句可推知，要想获得高质量和口感好的猪肉，人们应当满足猪的多种需要。所以选项C正确。二、单项填空1.The precious manuscripts were hopelessly _ by long exposure in the cold, damp cellar.A. damaged B. destroyedC. harmed D. ruined【答案】D2.People _ that decisions to approve or deny a permit are often arbitrary rather than based on fixed criteria.A. whisper B. signal C. sponsor D. plain【答案】D【解析】whisper低声说，私语；signal发信号，(用手势)示意；sponsor赞助，倡议，组织，主办；plain抱怨。句意：人们抱怨，决定批准或拒绝发放许可证往往是任意的而不是基于既定的标准。3.Across China, ordinary people are being more and more _ of the issue of environmental protection.A. dependentB. ignorantC. alikeD. aware【答案】D【解析】句意：在中国，普通百姓正逐渐意识到环境保护问题。dependent依靠的；ignorant无知的；alike相似的；aware意识到的；be aware of意识到。4.When you are old enough to _ things, you should decide your path in life.A. judge B. chooseC. study D. research【答案】A【解析】句意：当你年龄大到足以判断事情时，你应该决定自己的人生道路。judge判断，符合句意。5.The building was named Ford Hall _ a man named James Ford.A. in need of B. in memory of C. in charge of D. in search of【答案】B 【解析】in memory of为了纪念。句意：为了纪念一个叫做詹姆斯福特的人，这栋楼房取名叫做福特大厅。6.The earthquake was so terrible that in only 15 seconds a large city lay _.A. in tears B. in terrorC. in ruins D. in anger【答案】C7.Theres been a record number of _ about the standard of service on Britains railwaysA. contributions B. distinctions C. pressures D. plaints【答案】D【解析】plaints投诉，抱怨。句意：有关英国铁路服务水平的投诉空前的多。8.It is important for people to have the _ that care and sympathy for people with AIDS/HIV makes a difference to the quality of their lives.A. remarkB. awarenessC. assumptionD. promise 【答案】B9._ what he said, he must have been to the south of the country.A.
