2．Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home？People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight．A recent research has found a new recipe of success．According to the study，if the cat is adopted before the dog，and if they are introduced when still young （less than 6 months for cats，a year for dogs），it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly．Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog．
    However，it wasn't all sweetness and light．There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes，while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes．One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite．For example，when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression，while a dog doing the same signals submission．
    In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully，researchers observed a surprising behaviour．They are learning how to talk each other's language．It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk'dog'，and dogs can learn how to talk'Cat'．
    What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence．They can learn to read each other's body signals，suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected．Once familiar with each other's presence and body language，cats and dogs can play together，greet each other nose to nose，and enjoy sleeping together in the sofa．They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom（梳理）each other．
    The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets--to people who don't get along，including neighbors，colleagues at work，and even world superpowers．If cats and dogs can learn to get along，surely people have a good chance．

46．The underlined word swimmingly in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning toD．
A．earlyB．sweetlyC．quicklyD．smoothly
47．Some cats and dogs may fight whenC．
A．they are cold to each other
B．they look away from each other
C．they misunderstand each other's signals
D．they are introduced at an early age
48．What is found surprising about cats and dogs？C
A．They eat and sleep together
B．They observe each others behaviors
C．They learn to speak each other's language
D．They know something from each other's voice
49．It is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogsB．
A．have common interests
B．are less different than was thought
C．have a common body language
D．are less intelligent than was expected
50．What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs？A
A．We should learn to live in harmony
B．We should knows more about animals
C．We should live in peace with animals
D．We should learn more body languages．

分析 本文是一篇说明文，说明了狗和猫可以和平相处，它们相互学习、理解自己的语言，通过这篇文章，人们也应该和平相处，积极打造和平世界．

解答 46．D 推理判断题，由第一段最后一句Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog三分之二的家庭采访报告了他们的猫和狗的关系，可以推断出swimmingly意思是平滑，流畅与smoothly意义相近，故选D．
47．C 细节理解题，根据第二段第3行One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite．说明猫和狗不能好好相处的原因是他们的肢体信号所表达的意思是相反的，会引起对方的误解，所以选C．
48．C 细节理解题，根据第四段3，4，5行Once familiar with each other's presence and body language，cats and dogs can play together，greet each other nose to nose，and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa．说明猫和狗在相处的过程中，智力都有了提高，能够学会说对方的语言．所以选C．
49．B 推理判断题，根据第4段2，3行They can learn how to read each other's body signals，suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected．说明猫和狗身上的差别要比我们预料的要少，共同点比预料的要多，故B项内容正确．所以选B．
50．A 推理判断题．根据文章最后一行If cats and dogs can learn to get along，surely people have a good chance．说明如果猫和狗都能和平相处，那么我们人类更应该和谐的生活在一起．故A正确．

点评 本文讲述了猫和狗能够在一起和谐相处的情况，文章中做了一个调查，研究了猫狗不能和平相处的原因，并提出了相关的建议，如何让二者和谐相处，最后还推广到人类生活．考查了较多的推理题，解此类题需要结合上下文提供的语境和信息进行简单的概括和判断．

14．No matter how much better than us computers are in fields such as calculating and analyzing，we humans still have a few skills that are exclusive to us-keeping secrets，for example．But don't feel too relieved just yet，because computers may be catching up faster than we thought．
The Google Brain team has been working on computing systems called"neural networks"-systems that were designed based on how neurons work in the human brain．
This time，they gave a mission to three of the neural networks，which they named Alice，Bob and Eve．
Each of the networks had its own job-Alice sent messages to Bob，Eve tried to"eavesdrop"（偷听）and find out the messages，and Alice and Bob had to figure out a way to hide the messages from Eve．
All the help that Alice and Bob got from the researchers before the mission began was made up of a set of numbers，which Eve didn't have access to．
At first，Alice was not very good at sending secret messages．But slowly it worked on a way to encrypt （加密）them-putting information into a special code so that others could not understand it even if they got the information 一 using the numbers given by researchers．And
after practice，Bob also came to be able to decrypt （解密）Alice's messages．
Without the numbers or keys，Eve failed to understand Alice's"speech"most of the time．This test is considered a big step in the development of computers，learning skills．
"Computing with neural networks on this scale has only become possible in the last few years，so we really are at the beginning of what's possible，"Joe Sturonas of US encryption company PKWARE told New Scientist magazine．
Unfortunately，the test happened only one week after UK physicist Stephen Hawking，while speaking at Cambridge University，warned how artificial intelligence could develop a will of its own．This could be"either the best or the worst thing ever to happen to humanity"，he said．
But just as Sturonas pointed out，no matter what the possibilities of computers are in tlie future，they are just starting out．We still have plenty of time to work out a solution before they get anywhere near becoming a threat to humanity．

6．Once Chinese students in American schools were largely limited to graduate students．Gradually that trend shifted，with more students coming from China to earn bachelor's degrees at American institutions．Now，the population is widening once again，with many Chinese students studying in the U，S．from ever-younger ages．
Bill Zhou，a resident of California，though born in Shenzhen，and his wife are currently housing just such a student：Hsu，also from Shenzhen，who is living with Zhou （a paid arrangement） while he attends a private，religious institution．．
Although Zhou is caring，he knows there are many people taking advantage of the trend who lack conscience．In a Lost Angeles Times article，Zhou described his reservations about the current system．"They don't know if the school is good．They don't know if the home stay is good．But everyone else is doing it，so they do it，too，"Zhou said，addressing the parents of so-called parachute（降落伞）children，who earn the nickname by"parachuting"into the U．S．by themselves，unaccompanied by family．
Based on statistics，Zhou has reason to be concerned．A recent article in Sixth Tone'，stated that the number of Chinese students enrolled at U．S．secondary schools increased from just 647 in 2006 to more than 46，000 in 2016．Those numbers are reflected in Chinese society and even popular culture，where a new television drama titled"A Love for Separation"was released several months ago．
"It is a common misunderstanding that studying in a private American high school is easier than in China，a mother told．"My son is under enormous pressure to compete with accomplished peers．He was very lonely during his first year of high school，and found it hard to assimilate into an unfamiliar environment．"
Chinese parents send their teenagers abroad for varieties of reasons．For some students，it is to escape the strict Chinese education system； for others，it is a second chance to recover from bad grades or a low score on China's college entrance exam．For still others，it is simply a lifelong dream．

24．What's Bill Zhou's attitude towards the trend of growing parachute children？C
A．Positive'．B．Indifferent      C．Concerned       D：Opposed
25．What does the underlined phrase"assimilate into"in Paragraph 5 mean？D
A．show respect to   B．get rid of     C．take advantage of    D．fit in with
26．Which is not the reason why increasing parents send their little children abroad？B
A．They just follow the crowd．
B．They just show off their large treasure．
C．They want their children to break away from Chinese education system．
D．They want to give their children with poor grades another chance to succeed．．
27．What's the author's purpose in writing the text？D
A．To help these parents to choose a reliable home stay．．
B．To remove these parents doubts about studying abroad．．
C．To encourage these parents to send their kids abroad as early as possible．
D．To remind these parents to be more sensible before sending their kids abroad..
