20.You think you know your dog.(36)C She probably recognizes you when she sees you.But can a dog tell by simply looking at you whether you have a happy or an angry expression on your face?Researchers in Austria have taught pet dogs to know the difference.(37)A When dog owners shout or speak in a strong,sharp voice,dogs often act guilty and quietly move away from the area.
Recently,researchers found that dogs can look at our faces,and tell the difference between a smile and a frown.The animals were able to recognize a look of approval from one of disapproval.Researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine performed a series of experiments.(38)F They showed the dogs two pictures of either the upper or lower half of a person's face.On one picture,the person looked happy.The other appeared angry.The dogs were then shown images of the eyes or mouths of people they had never seen before.
(39)D Once the dogs learned to recognize which image was happy or angry,they could easily identify the same expressions in pictures of any face.Future studies will try to show whether dogs can learn the meaning of facial expressions.(40)G
The researchers'findings were published in the journal Current Biology.They provide the first solid evidence that humans are not the only species that can read the body language of another species.

分析 本文是一篇科教类阅读.文章主要讲述了狗能辨别出人类的面部表情.Veterinaty Medicine大学的研究者针对狗辨别人类表情做了实验.接下来,研究者将对狗是否能理解人类面部表情所表达的含义进行研究.
解答 36.C推理判断题.根据下文She probably recognizes you when she sees you.可知小狗可能一看见你就能认出你.由此推知,前句应是涉及"小狗是如何辨认出你?"的信息.故选C.
37.A细节理解题.根据后文When dog owners shout or speak in a strong,sharp voice,dogs often act guilty and quietly move away from the area.可知当听到主人大声尖叫或呵斥的声音时,狗会表现的内疚或安静离开.由此可知,该段主要讲述狗对主人声音的反映.故选A.
38.F推理判断题.根据前文Researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine performed a series of experiments.可知Veterinaty Medicine大学的研究者针对狗辨别人类表情做了实验.由此可知,该句是指他们教狗如何辨别人类的面部表情.故选F.
39.D理解推断题.根据后文Once the dogs learned to recognize which image was happy or angry,they could easily identify the same expressions in pictures of any face.可知一旦狗学会了识别哪些图象是快乐的或是生气的,他们可以轻易的找出有相同表情的图象.由此推知,填空处应是指在实验中同样给狗出示人类左脸的图片.故选D.
40.G细节理解题.根据前文Future studies will try to show whether dogs can learn the meaning of facial expressions.可知研究者将对狗是否能理解人类面部表情所表达的含义进行研究,故该句进一步举例说明了"比如皱眉传达生气的信息".故选G.
