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.twothirds 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 are 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 behaviour.they are learning how to talk each others language.it is a surprise that cats can learn how to talkdog，and dogs can learn how to talkcatwhats 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 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 this research on cats and dogs may go beyond petsto 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.1the underlined word “swimmingly” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.aearly bsweetlycquickly dsmoothly【解析】词义猜测题。文章第一段第一句话意为“猫和狗在一个家里能和谐相处吗？”有人担心它们会打架，但是研究发现，如果猫被领养在先，而且它们都在很小的时候就认识的话，它们很可能会相处得很和谐。sweetly“甜美地”；smoothly“顺利地”。所以 swimmingly 在此意为 sweetly。另外第二段第一句话“however，it wasnt all sweetness and light.”中也有暗示。【答案】b2some cats and dogs may fight when _.athey are cold to each otherbthey look away from each othercthey misunderstand each others signalsdthey are introduced at an
