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 submission.in homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. 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 to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was preciously 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 in the sofa. they can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom(梳理) each other.the significance of this 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.56. some cats and dogs may fight when_.a. they are cold to each other b. they look away from each other c. they misunderstand each others signals d. they are introduced at an early age57. the underlined word in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_.a. early b. sweetly c. quickly d. smoothly58. it is suggested in paragraph 4 that cats and dogs_.a. have common interests b. are less different than was thoughtc. have a common body language d. are less intelligent than was expected59. what is found surprising about cats and dogs?a. they eat and sleep together b. they observe each others behaviorsc. they learn to speak each others language d. they know something from each others voice60. what can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?a. we should learn to live in harmony b. we should knows more about animalsc. we should live in peace with animals d. we should learn more body languagesbrecently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called unpluggedit was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hoursunplugged is being run by dr. roman gerodimos, a lecturer in communication and journalism at bournemouth universityduring the experiment, dr. gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteershe said: “theyre reporting withdrawal symptoms, overeating, feeling nervous, isolated and disconnected”during their 24-hour test, three of the experiments participants were followed around by a bbc reporter plus cameramanthey were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline, but of course, they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptopselliot day wrote: “today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the airdespite being aware of the social importance of the media, i was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers”from caroline scott, we read: “i didnt expect it, but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usuali didnt break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to, but its not something i would like to do again!”and charlotte gay wrote：“i have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my mobile; not only is it a social device, its my main access point of communication”earlier in the year, a uk government study found that in the uk we spend about half our waking hours using the media, often plugged into several things at onceso, with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?61. which of the following is not mentioned about the participants feelings？a. anxious. b. lonely c.

devices65. the text is most probably a _a. newspaper ad b. news report c. book review d. science fiction story cphotos that you might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business!in 2005, the american artist richard princes photograph of a photograph, untitled (cowboy）, was sold for $ 1, 248, 000. prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called “found photographs”a loose term given to everything from discarded(丢弃的）prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a strangers family album. the german artist joachim schmid, who believes “basically everything is worth looking at”, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982. in his on-going project, archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family and so on.like schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also supported found photographs. one of them, called simply found, was born one snowy night in chicago, when davy rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷） an angry note intended for someone else: “whys your car here at her place?” the note became the starting point for rothbards addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such a poster discovered in our drawer. the whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? and if so, whose art? yet found photographs produced by artists, such richard prince, may ride his horse hurriedly to meet someone? or how did prince create this photograph? its anyones guess. in addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like schmid, have collated (整理）, we also turn toward our own photographic albums. why is memory so important to us? why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? will they mean anything to anyone after weve gone?66. the first paragraph of the passage is used to _. a. remind readers of found photographs b. show readers the value of found photographs c. ask readers to find photographs behind sofa d. advise reader to start a new kind of business67. according to the passage, joachim schmid _. a. wondered at the artistic nature of found photographs b. found a complaining not under his car wiper c. is working for several self-published magazines d. is fond of collecting family life photographs 68. the underlined word “them” in para 4 refers to _. a. the readers b. the editors c. the found photographs d. the self-published magazines 69. by asking a series of questions in para 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that _. a. memory of the past is very important to peopleb. the back-story of found photographs is puzzlingc. found photographs allow people to think freely d. the real value of found photographs is questionable 70. the authors attitude towards found photographs can be described as _. a. critical b. positive c. doubtful d. negative dmarthas vineyard has long
