_ato inform people of different steamersbto run an advertisement for steamerscto find out a suitable steamer to buydto learn how to cook with steamers26what can we learn about the folding steamer? _.ait comes in different kinds of shapes and sizesbit is designed for large familiescit is able to clean itselfdit is easy to take out27 the nutritious living steamer _ais more difficult to storebprovides a dish to cook rice withccooks different foods at the same timedcooks fish and chicken faster than vegetablesc a dogs tail can tell you a lot more than you might think. is it wagging (摇) to the left or is it wagging to the right? “the direction of tail wagging does in fact matter,” said giorgio vallortigara, a professor at the university of trento in italy. professor vallortigara finds that the way the tail is wagging can tell you a lot about a dogs state of mindwhether youre a human or another dog. whats the difference between a left wag and a right wag？professor vallortigara and his colleagues have studied 43 dogs of various breeds - german shepherds，beagles，boxers，border collies and some mutts. they find that if a dog wags its tail to the left. its feeling anxious or nervous. the reason could be an unfamiliar or dangerous situation，an unfamiliar person，or an unfamiliar and possibly threatening dog. but if the tail is wagging to the right，it means the dog is feeling relaxed and approachable. “the tail is a very important signal,” said thomas reimchen, a biologist at the university of victoria in british columbia, canada. “there is a lot of visual information that dogs use when communicating with each other.” how did the scientists figure all this information out? they had the dogs in their study watch videotapes of other dogs. when the dog on the tape wagged its tail to the right，they say the other dogs remained calm and cool. but when the dog on the tape wagged its tail to the left，the other dogs got anxious. the researchers are still not exactly sure if the direction of tail wagging is something the dog does consciously. they suspect that it might be something the dog does without even thinking about it kind of like when you get goose bumps if something scares or startles you. they plan to do more research to get more information about what dogs are thinking and feeling while theyre wagging. as reimchen said，“im not going to be surprised if we find all sorts of really interesting processes that nobody has ever seen before. ”28. professorvallortigarasstudyfocusedontherelationshipbetween _.a.adogsstateofmindanditsownersfeelingb.adogsstateofmindandthedirectionofitstailwaggingc.adogssenseofdirectionanditsstateofmindd.adogsintentionoftailwagginganditsfeeling29. accordingtothestudy，dogswhichwagtheirtailstotheleftmayfeel _.a.calm b.happy c.angry d.nervous30. itisimpliedinthomasreimchenswordsinparagraph4that _.a.dogstailsplayanimportantroleintheirgrowthb.dogsshowtheirfeelingsonlybywaggingtheirtailsc.dogsgettoknowothersbywatchingtailwaggingd.dogscanunderstandeachotherbyrepeatingtailwagging31. howdoesthepassagemainlydevelop?a. by makingcomparisonsb.byasking and analyzing questionsc. by following the order of timed.byprovidingexamplesd a new tv ad for a brand of electronic cigarettes marks the first time in decades cigarettes of any sort have been promoted on us television. anti-smoking campaigners fear the rapid growth of tobacco-free cigarettes could undermine years of successful anti-smoking efforts. most living americans had never before seen a cigarette advertised on television - they were banned in 1971. but the electronic cigarettes fall outside that law, since they contain no tobacco. we know that smoke-free laws encourage smokers to try to quit, says danny mcgoldrick, vice-president of research at campaign for tobacco-free kids. if electronic cigarettes keep people smoking who would otherwise quit, that is harmful, he says. electronic cigarettes are either banned or heavily regulated in australia, brazil, canada, germany and several other countries. but in the us, at present electronic cigarettes are unregulated. it feels like what theyre trying to do is re-establish a norm(准则) that smoking is okay, that smoking is attractive and acceptable, says cynthia hallett, executive director of americans for non-smokers rights. “this time around, instead of disobeying parents and teachers, the ad encourages smokers to rebel against more recent anti-smoking social norms.” electronic cigarettes are sold in a variety of flavours. “much research has shown flavoured tobacco appeals to young smokers and adolescents who are not ready for standard cigarettes,” says joseph cappella, a professor of communication at the university of pennsylvania. anti-tobacco campaigners say theyre keeping an open mind about electronic cigarettes. we are not against them being on the market but they should be responsibly regulated and marketed and tracked over time in a way that protects the public health and fully informs consumers of their effects. says david abrams, executive director of the schroeder institute for tobacco research and policy studies at legacy.32. the underlined word “undermine” in paragraph 1 probably means _.a. strengthen b. build c. protect d. weaken 33. what do we know about the advertising of electronic cigarettes in the us? _a. it is not allowed by law. b. it was once banned in 1971. c. it has attracted widespread criticism. d. its popular among adolescents.34. danny mcgoldrick agrees that _.a. the government should take control of electronic cigarettes b. smokers may become addicted to electronic cigarettes c. flavoured tobacco attracts non-smokers to smoking d. there should be a law against electronic cigarettes 35. we can infer from david abrams words that _. a. electronic cigarettes should be carefully monitored. b. electronic cigarettes are harmful to the public health c. consumers should watch out for electronic cigarettes d. governments should prevent electronic cigarettes coming into the market 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 how to keep a relationship healthy and strong are you new to experiencing relationships?
