Just like children, they use a “ look and lear

21、n” ways when they go about their tasks.Scientists at Oxford universities designed an experiment to test if the dogs have the ability to copy humans actions by using a simple wooden box. 10 owners showed their dogs how to open the wooden box .Sometimes they use their heads to push it and sometimes th

22、ey use their hands.10 dogs were divided into two groupsGroup1 and Group2. In the first part of the test, Group1 were rewarded with a piece of meat for copying their owners actions. Group2 were rewarded with food for not copying and using other ways. With each dog the experiment was repeated hundreds

23、 of times. Scientists recorded the time to see which group was first to get 85% right. They found that Group1finished the task much sooner than Group2.In the second part of the test, all the dogs were only rewarded for copying the way that their owners used. Group1 reached the 85% mark more quickly

24、than Group2.So the scientists draw a conclusion: “Like humans, dogs can copy actions that they see. Dogs imitative（仿效的）behavior is shaped more by their interactions（互动）with humans than by evolution(进化).”Scientists said，“A dogs behavior is influenced much like that of a child; they look and learn sim

25、ilar behavior. We hope that owners understand the importance of their actions and use this knowledge to set good examples and therefore have a good effect on the behavior of their pets.”1The scientists believe dogs imitative behavior mainly comes from_.Aproper rewards BdomesticationChuman-dog intera

35、r, Dolores noticed that many of her students were not getting enough food to eat. Some of them wore very old clothes. Dolores wondered how she could help them.Dolores decided to stop teaching so that she could spend more time helping the farm workers and their families. One thing she wanted to do wa

36、s to get more pay for farm workers so they could buy their children the things they needed.Dolores knew that many farm workers moved often from one place to another to help pick different kinds of fruits and vegetables.

Google engineers have discovered that even 400 millisecondsas short as the blink of an eyeis too long for most Internet users.A millisecond is one thousandth

41、of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times. “Without question, nobody likes to wait,” said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer. “Every millisecond matters.”Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are conti

42、nually gathering and sending out information. With so many people downloading maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations, you can get digital “traffic jams”. Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than anothe

43、r website, then people will visit it less often. This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest. Google said people do expect different things from different websites because they realize not all loading times are the same. For example, a person will be more patient waiting for

44、 a video to load than for a search result.Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load. This makes it difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast loading times.Trying to get a higher speed has always been part of the his

45、tory of the Internet. In the 1990s, when the World Wide Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded and slow; people called it the “World Wide Wait”. But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables (光缆)for sending in high speed; they

46、 improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet. Famous search engines such as Google and Microsofts Bing usually find search results in less than a second.

47、_1The report from The New York Times suggests thatAA millisecond is one thousandth of a second.B400 milliseconds is not so long for most Internet users.CA millisecond has nothing to do with the Internet speed.DA millisecond really makes a difference to the Internet users.2The engineers did something

50、more search engines set upBGoogle and Microsofts Bing should help find the searching resultsCThese companies should mind their steps, or they will break down soon.DThese companies need to catch up with the developing needs of Internet users5What can be the best title of this passage?ADont make me “w

But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in

52、the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.As the worlds least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (南极条约). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful plac

53、e for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very

54、hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen food which can be heated easily is peoples daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. Du

55、ring this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”.Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force(七级以上的)winds.Sometimes the wind is even stron

56、ger than a typhoon.It can easily blow people away.So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations.People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.Whats more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way

57、 radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.Although it is challenging（挑战） to work in Antarctica, scientistspassionto learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.1Scientists from China go to Antarct
