Do dogs understand us?

Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.

A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).

In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.

In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.

The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.

Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.

It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!

From paragraph 3 we know that _________.

A. animals are as clever as human beings

B. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees

C. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills

D. dogs have the same speaking abilities as 3-year-old children

Both experiments show that____________

A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands right

B. Rico can recognize different things including toys

C. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics

D. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them

Which of the following statements is true?

A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's physical abilities.

B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.

C. The Border collie is world-famous for fetching objects.

D. Rico is born to understand all its owner's commands.

What does the writer want to tell us?

A. To train your dog. B. To talk to your dog.

C. To be friendly to your dog. D. To be careful with your dog.

二、完形填空（共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分）

I had an interesting experience playing ping-pong last year. I was playing against a 16 opponent(对手). The score was 20 to 17 in her 17 . I won the next three points which made the score 20 to 20. I 18 my paddle on the table and thanked my opponent and began to walk away. She called me 19 and said we had to continue until one of us 20 .

“Look,”I said, “if we 21 , one of two events will take place, either you or I will win.If you win, I will begin to 22 my skill. If I win, you will be unhappy. Isn’t it better to know that we both played 23 , that we enjoyed the competition, and that we played an even(相等) score?” This was a 24 ending for my opponent and for the persons watching this contest. It made 25 to me to leave with a tie(不分胜负) game, an impasse(僵局): no winner, no 26 .

So, my friends, here is the problem 27 me. Our present technology makes it possible for nations to 28 other nations for retaliatory(报复) strikes. In such a nuclear time, there 29 be no winners, only losers. Under these conditions, the only choice to 30 global destruction is glogal impasse. This would be a 31 “tie game” where no nation wins and no nation loses. An impasse reached through compromise(妥协). This is because compromise becomes the only means of 32 . We cannot destroy this beautiful planet by holding on to 33 understanding of victory. The 34 victory is in achieving a desirable impasse. No one wins, 35 no one loses either.

Honeybees are disappearing for unknown reasons around the United States. Last winter, bees disappeared from 23 percent of American beekeeping businesses. Causes of the phenomenon, however, have remained a mystery.

Now, scientists from several universities and the United States Department of Agriculture say they have a possible explanation for the bee decline（数量下降）. It is a little known virus called Israeli acute--paralysis virus (IAPV) .The virus kills bees. Researchers in Israel first described it in 2004 , but until now, bee experts hadn’t paid much attention to it.

When trying to find out why the bees were disappearing, a research team at Columbia University studied bee colonies ( 群体), some with and the others without decline. The research turned up large numbers of two types of fungi (真菌) once suspected of causing the bee decline. The research results, however, showed that the fungi were almost as common in colonies without a decline as they were in colonies with a decline. The researchers concluded that the two fungi probably weren’t the cause.

Studies of the presence of IAPV, however, showed more interesting information. In those studies, done by a team at Pennsylvania State University in University Park, the virus showed up in 83 percent of samples from colonies with symptoms (症状). Only five percent of samples from symptomless colonies had it.

Scientists still don’t know whether IAPIV can single--handedly cause the bee decline. They believe that even if the virus is making colonies sick , it could have a partner in crime. It’s possible, for instance, that insects or chemicals in the environment weaken bees, making them more likely to catch IAPV.

Scientists are still trying to figure out how IAPV came to the United States. The United States currently allows bee products to be imported from Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. If it turns out that this trade is spreading disease, the rules might eventually change.

68. According to the passage ，IAPV is a virus that ______.

A. hasn’t attracted much attention

B. well-known to doctors and scientist

C. was first found by Austrian researchers

D. is dangerous to animals and human beings

69. The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph probably means______.

A. the virus could also cause other damages

B. there must be something that is the real cause

C. IAPV is not the only cause for the bee decline

D. the virus may be caused by the polluted environment

70. From the third and fourth paragraphs, we know researchers draw their conclusions by means of _______.

A. calculating B. comparing C. examining D. investigating

71. What still remains unknown to American scientists according to the passage?

A. How and why to kill IAPV.

B. How IAPV came to America.

C. Whether bee products should be imported.

D. How to change the rules of the bee products trade.

72. The best title for this passage would be _____.

A. Bee Disease B. How to Kill IAPV

C. A Virus—IAPV D. Two Types of Fungi

This year will mark the 120th birthday of the Eiffel Tower. What gift will the Paris monument get? It will be given a fresh coat of brown paint. About 60 tons of paint to be exact, in a specially mixed color called “Eiffel Tower Brown”.

The landmark (标志性建筑) gets a new coat of paint every seven years. In the past the tower has gone from reddish brown to yellow, brownish-yellow and dark red, before operators settled in 1968 on the current color.

“This is the color that suits the tower best－its most elegant （优雅的）dress,” said Jean-Bernard Bros, head of he company that operates the tower. “So we have decided to keep the brown for good.”

The Eiffel Tower is the world’s most visited tourist attraction. It was designed and named after the French architect (建筑师) Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, who was also responsible for the frame of the well-known Statue of Liberty in the US.

However, when the tower was first built, it was highly controversial (有争议的). Artists and politicians, including Maupassant (莫伯桑) and Alexandre Dumas (大仲马), spoke out against it. They described it as ugly and said its presence lowered French taste.
