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 .

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.13. （10分）阅读理解Robert wanted to do well in his examsHe spent all his free time studyingHe wanted to be a scientist when he grew upUnluckily,this meant that he was almost always seriousAlthough he was young，he didnt relax and enjoy himselfRoberts first important exam was coming soonHe had spent almost all the week preparing for itHe had got little sleep and felt very tiredHowever,Robert thought that he was ready for the examI worked harder than anyone elseIm I will get a good mark，he thought during the breakfastAfter breakfasthe started to feel a little illHe also had a little headache and found it difficult to concentrate (专心)But he refused(拒绝)to believe that hed fail (不及格)the examRobert arrived at the school hall and took his chairHe noticed how relaxed and happy his friends lookedThey are just under prepared(准备不充分的)，he thought as the exam beganUnluckily,Robert wasnt able to finish his examTwenty minutes after the exam started，he felt very hot and uncomfortableHe then slumped(瘫倒)in his chair,and one of his friends called for helpHis teacher took him to the school hospital at onceIn the hospital，the doctor told him that he was too tired to finish the examHe spent the lunch break in the nurses officeHe spent the lunch break in the nurses office.He looked outside and watched his friends.They were playing happilyRobert decided that from then on,he wouldn-t take it all so seriouslyA balanced (平衡的)life is more importantI guess I know what to do next time，he thought根据材料内容选择最佳答案。（1）From Paragraph 1，we can know that Robert is A . lazyB . cleverC . braveD . hard-working（2）The best word foris A . sureB . boredC . luckyD . surprised（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Robert?

The fact is that they arent.Some statistics (数据) from the survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. Thats why many people dont think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.In Britain, students arent required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only a choice at school. In British schools its common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why dont students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think its more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.（1）What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A . The people in England are good at learning languages.B . Most of British people only speak English.C . British people are known for speaking foreign languages.D . Most of British people want to learn more than one language.（2）How many ways will the British government use to improve language learning? A . One.B . Two.C . Three.D . Four.（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A . People in other European countries speak English as much as British people.B . One British student cant give up learning a foreign language until 14.C . Students in Britain prefer to learn science or history rather than learn a foreign language.D . Its unusual for British students not to learn a foreign language.（4）What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A . Young English learners.B . Schools in the UK.C . Speaking English.D . Foreign language learning in the UK.四、 用单词的正确形式完成句子 (共1题；共8分)15. （8分）根据短文内容，用方框中所给词的适当形式填空（方框内有一个词多余）。symbol, away, set, protect, feed, dirty, danger, situation, peaceThere is a nature park in the southwest of our city.
