We wanted to prove how smart rescue dogs are, animal behaviorist Mark Vette says. Vette first used voice commands and treats to teach the dogs how to turn a steering wheel and how to change gear (换挡).The dogs ride only accelerated up to 7.5 miles an hour, and trainers could stop the auto using a remote control.GOLDEN ZEBRAKailua-Kona, HawaiiZoe the zebras markings are special. The animal has white and golden stripes. Zoes appearance resulted from a rare condition called amelanosis (黑素缺失症). Her body doesnt make enough melanin(黑色素), the substance in an animals skin and hair cells that produces color. Only 25 other golden zebras are known to exist in the world, says Ann Goody, who runs the wildlife refuge where Zoe lives. In the wild, life may be difficult for animals with amelanosis because predators (捕猎者) can easily spot them. But Zoe is protected at her refuge.COCKATOO MAKES TOOLSVienna, AustriaWhen Figaro the cockatoo spots food lying just out of reach from his cage, he builds a tiny wooden tool to sweep the tasty prize in his way.The bird first revealed his talent when a stone he was playing with rolled out of his cage. The cockatoo couldnt reach the stone. So he flew away and returned with a small branch, slipping it through the fence to slide the stone toward him.Wondering if he would do it again, scientists placed a nut exactly where the stone had been. This time, Figaro pulled out a small piece of wood in his cage and dragged the nut toward him.1.

C 【解析】推理判断题。根据COCKATOO MAKES TOOLS中he builds a tiny wooden tool to sweep the tasty prize in his way.（它做了一个微小的木制工具把在它前面的美味奖品都扫过来）和he flew away and returned with a small branch, slipping it through the fence to slide the stone toward him.（它飞走了，带着一根小树枝回来，把树枝穿过篱笆，让石头向它滑动。）以及This time, Figaro pulled out a small piece of wood in his cage and dragged the nut toward him.（这次，Figaro拉出它的笼子里的一块木头，把坚果拖向它）可以看出：它擅长借助外力，故选C。3. A 【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了会开车的狗狗、与众不同的金色斑马和会使用工具的凤头鹦鹉三种不可思议的动物。故选A。B根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. 4 First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. 5 The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealM. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (受阻)by limited understanding. 6 Here is some of the advice I give my students: Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything. Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times. Do not translate everything into your native language. 7 Dont concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas. Listen to something you enjoy.I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didnt understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 8 Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didnt pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.A. What should you do?B. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.C. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!D. But you cant follow a native English speaker at all!E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.F. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.G. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.【参考答案】【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。关于如何提高听力水平，作者提出了一些建议。possible(最重要的是尽可能多听)，既然是要多听，就要找到听力资源。故选E项。6. A 【解析】考查前后文语境的连贯性。上文提到，你开始定期地听了，但你可能仍然理解不了。而下文又提到Here is some of the advice I give my students，由此可知空格处应选A项来承上启下：你应该如何做呢？IV. 完形填空（每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。Last week I was in the boarding area of the airport excited about my Easter trip home to see my parents.
