Question

1．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 behavior．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 how 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 on the sofa．They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom （梳理） each other．
    The significance of the 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．

Answer 1

分析 本文讲述科学家们研究发现：猫和狗能否和谐相处主要由它们最初在一起的年龄来决定，猫狗学会了对方的语言，他们似乎开发了智力，能读懂对方的肢体信号，对对方有了更多的了解，就可以和睦相处．由此推断，我们人类能偶借鉴它们的关系，我们人与人之间也应当可以学会和睦相处．

解答 29．A    推理判断．由第二段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．可知．他们打架的原因之一是他们的身体信号（身势语）是相反的，如猫将头偏开意味着要进攻，而狗将头偏开则意味着投降．由此推知，两者会因身势语不同产生误会，结果就会打起来．故选A．
330．B    细节理解．由第三段They are learning how to talk each other's language．可知．他们学会了讲对方的语言（body signals），即懂得对方的身体信号．故选B．
31．C     细节理解．由第四段第四句可知．只是用"areless different （不同点更少了）"替代了原文的"have more in common （共同点更多了）"；用同义词thought来替代suspected．（近义替换）
32．C     推理判断．由最后一段最后一句"If cats and dogs can learn to get along，surely people have a good chance．"可以推知．理解句子本意：如果猫和狗都可以学会和睦相处，人与人之间就一定能有可能（和睦相处）；据此推断：既然人与人之间就一定能有可能（和睦相处），我们为什么不学会和睦相处呢？即"我们应该学会和睦相处"．故选C．
