live in perfect harmony in the same home? 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. 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 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 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 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 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.有人一直担心如果在家里同时养猫和狗，它们会相处得不好。可是研究发现猫和狗是可以和谐相处的。既然猫狗都能和谐相处，人和人以及世界大国之间就更容易做到这一点了。6the underlined word “swimmingly” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.a. early b. sweetlyc. quickly d. smoothly答案：b。词义猜测题。文章第一段第一句话“can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home？”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。7some cats and dogs may fight when_.a. they are cold to each otherb. they look away from each otherc. they misunderstand each others signalsd. they are introduced at an early age答案：c。细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句话“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.”可知因为猫狗的有些身体信号正好相反，所以才打架或对彼此冷漠。8what is found surprising about cats and dogs?a. they eat and sleep together.b. they observe each others behaviours.c. they learn to speak each others language.d. they know something from each others voices.答案：c。细节理解题。由第三段中的“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”可知答案。9it 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 expected答案：b。推理判断题。第四段中的“they can learn how to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected.”意为：它们能够学会如何去理解彼此的身体语言，这表明猫狗有比我们以前所认为的更多的相同之处。也就是说，猫狗的不同之处比我们原来认为的要少。所以选b。10what can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?a. we should learn to live in harmony.b. we should know more about animals.c. we should live in peace with animals.d. we should learn more body languages.答案：a。推理判断题。从最后一段可以推知答案。文化教育型阅读理解(一)-ba fellow speaker from california named geri flew to japan, in her favourite jeans and a casual jacket, to give her first speech. fourteen hours later, four perfectly dressed japanese gentlemen greeted her at narita airport. smiling and bowing low, they handed her their business cards. with her bag in one hand, geri took their cards with the other. she thanked them, glanced briefly at the cards, and put them into her jeans pocket quickly. when the five of them arrived at the hotel, they invited geri to tea in the lobby (大厅). while sipping tea, the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened. she was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly, “oh, its beautiful！”at this point, the four japanese gentlemen stood up and, bowing only very slightly, said “sayonara” and left immediately. poor geri was left astonished. what did she do wrong?everything! her jeans were the first gaffe. even if youre coming off a bicycle in japan, you do not meet clients (客人) casually dressed. the second mistake was geris handling of their business cards rudely. in japan, the business card is one of the most important communicative tools. it is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands. however, geri put their cards away much too quickly. in japan, people use business cards as a conversation starter. you chat about each others cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safe keeping. putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.then, the fourth horror of horrors was that geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients. in a land where saving face is critical, it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received. what is worse, geri hadnt even given them a gift!1. in the four japanese gentlemens eyes, geri took their cards _aexcitedlybembarrassinglycpolitelyddisrespectfully2. why did the four japanese gentlemen leave geri suddenl
