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 wasnt 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 giving in.in homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. they are learning how to talk each others language. it is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk dog, and dogs can learn how to talk cat.whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. they can learn how to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. once familiar with each others 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 dont 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.66.the underlined word “swimmingly” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _. a. early b. sweetlyc. smoothly d. quickly 67.some cats and dogs may fight when _. a. they are cold to each otherb. they look away from each otherc. they are introduced at an early age d. they misunderstood each others signals68.what is found surprising about cats and dogs? a. they eat and sleep each other. b.they learn to speak each others language.c. they observe each others behaviors.d. they know something from each others voices.69.it is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _. a. have common interestsb. are less different than was thoughtc. have a common body languaged. are less intelligent than was expected70.what can we human beings learn from cats and dogs? a. we should live in peace with animals.b. we should know more about animals.c. we should learn to live in harmony.d. we should learn more body languages.cthere are two types of people in the world. although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. this arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.people who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. they enjoy all the cheerful things. those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. by their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. if this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. the intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. it grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. the habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. i hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. this frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. if they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. if they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. these people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. if they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.71. people who are unhappy .a. always consider things differently from othersb. usually are affected by the results of certain thingsc. usually misunderstand what others think or sayd. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things72. the underlined phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_”.a. have a good taste with social lifeb. arentcontentwiththepleasureofsocietyc. tend to scold others openlyd. enjoy the pleasure of life73. which of the following would be the best title of the passage? a. pity all such unhappy peopleb. the unhappy are dangerousc. how to get rid of the habit of unhappinessd. try to understand the unhappy74. if such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should .a. prevent any communication with themb. show no respect and politeness to themc. persuade them to recognize the bad effectsd. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes75. in this passage, the writer mainly .a. describes two types of people b. laughs at the unhappy peoplec. suggests ways to help the unhappy d. tells people how to be happy in life第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 下面文章中5处（第76-80题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（a、b、c、d、e和f）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。a. gift giving proven to be valuable.b. memories from gift givingc. moments and events for gift givingd. various functions of gift givinge. gift giving as a wasteful practicef. gift giving as a two-way social activitygift giving76. there are many occasions（场合） for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies; birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, new year. it is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. in addition, special events, such as one s first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift giving.77. what is happening when we give gifts? most important, we are exchanging gifts. if someone gives me a gift for my birthday, i know that i am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. a gift builds up or confirms a social obligation.（义务）.78. gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. people say that a gift lets the recipient（接受者） know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person feel special. we want people to f
