How Smart Is Man’s Best Friend?
We feed them, we let them sleep in our beds, we play with them and we even talk to them. Of course, we love
them. Any dog-owner will tell you that their pets (宠物) can understand the world around them. And they’re right.
Scientists have found great ways to find out what human’s best friend can do.
The Science of Animal Cognition (认知)
Over the past several years, humans have learnt more about dog cognition with the use of MRI machines to
scan dog brains (大脑). In a study done in 2015, Ragen McGowan, a scientist at Nestlé Purina specializing in dog
cognition, found that a human’s presence leads to increased blood flow to a dog’s eyes, ears and paws, which
means the dog is excited.
McGowan also studied what happened to dogs when they were being petted. We’ve known for some time that
,
for humans petting a beloved animal can lead to lower rates of stress and worry. Well, it turns out the same is
true for dogs. When humans pet dogs for 15 minutes or more, the dog’s heart rate decreases and it becomes less
worried.
Another study found that dogs can not only tell the difference between happy and sad human faces, but also
respond (回应) differently to them.
As Smart as Children
Dogs, as any dog-owner knows, are highly trainable. Scientists have found that dog intelligence (智商) is
similar to that of a two-year-old human child. They also found that dogs could understand up to 250 words and
hand signs. Even more surprising, dogs can actually count low numbers (up to five) and even do simple math.
And have you ever experienced the emotions (情绪) of your dog while you’re petting another animal or
paying attention to something else? Do you imagine they feel something like human jealousy? Well, there’s science
to back this up, too. Studies have found that dogs do, in fact, experience jealousy. Not only that, but dogs do their
best to “handle” the thing that’s taking their owner’s attention — and if they have to get the attention back on them,
they will.The studies all make one thing clear: that humans may know much less about dog brains than we previously
thought. As time goes on, more and more scientists are becoming interested in animal research, and with each new
study done, we find out more about how our beloved pets think.
36. When humans pet their dogs, ________.
A. dogs become shy B. dogs respond differently
C. they both become less worried D. humans have a higher rate of blood flow
37. From the passage, we know ________.
A. dogs can increase their heart rate and show excitement
B. dogs can be trained to understand words and hand signs
C. scientists suggest dogs should experience human jealousy
D. humans have learnt enough about what dogs can do, think and feel
38. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to treat our dogs well.
B. How to train dogs to be smarter.
C. An introduction to dog intelligence and emotion.
D. The differences between dogs’ abilities and human children’s.
【答案】36. C 37. B 38. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了狗的认知、智力和情绪。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据“We’ve known for some time that for humans, petting a beloved animal can lead to lower
rates of stress and worry”及“When humans pet dogs for 15 minutes or more, the dog’s heart rate decreases and it
becomes less worried”可知，当人们抚摸狗时，会变得不再那么忧虑；同样得，狗在被人抚摸时，也会变
得不再那么忧虑。故选C。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Dogs, as any dog-owner knows, are highly trainable.”及“They also found that dogs could

To Have A Not-to-do List
Like most people, you probably have a to-do list to help you finish a task. However, I would also suggest
you make a not-to-do list. This list works well with the to-do list and it might be even more important. Let me
explain.
This is Mike. He loves video games and plays them every day. But he also has an important exam coming
up. So Mike puts studying on his to-do list. That day, Mike picked up the books and studied for half an hour.
Then he took a short break and played some games. However, he got so into the game that he played for three
hours.
The next day, Mike took on the challenge of studying in a different way. He decided to make a not-to-do
list as well. And what he wrote down was: “No video games until 7:00 pm.” Mike went to study, did it for half
an hour, and then took a break. However, he didn’t get on his computer like the day before because he didn’t
allow himself to play at that time. Instead, he drank a glass of water. Then he returned to studying for three hours
more on that day.
Mike realized that having no restrictions (限制) was the problem. He was always choosing between work
and free time. Because enjoying himself was an easier choice, hardly any work got done as a result. So Mike
made a not-to-do list.
Sometimes what you choose not to do matters more than what you decide to do. We shouldn’t just limit
our “bad” behaviors but our “good” behaviors as well. For example, practicing the piano could be considered a
good habit. But when you have other more important things in the moment, the piano becomes nothing more
than a distraction (注意力分散). However, there’s one thing that should never end up on your not-to-do list. That
is to learn something new every day.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过讲述迈克准备考试的经历，告诉我们列一个“不能做的事情”清单
的重要性。
【39题详解】
根据“So Mike puts studying on his to-do list.”及“However, he got so into the game that he played for three
hours.”可知，迈克把学习任务加到任务清单中，但是他并没有好好学习，反而玩了很长时间游戏，所以
任务清单没有帮助迈克好好准备考试。故填No, it didn’t.
【40题详解】
根据“He decided to make a not-to-do list as well. And what he wrote down was: ‘No video games until 7:00
pm.’”可知，迈克在清单中写到：晚上7点之前不许玩电子游戏。故填No video games until 7:00 pm.
【41题详解】
根据“Mike went to study, did it for half an hour”及“Then he returned to studying for three hours more on that
day”可知，迈克第二天共学习了三个半小时。故填Three and a half hours.
【42题详解】
根据“Mike realized that having no restrictions (限制) was the problem.”可知，迈克意识到没有限制是个问题。
故填Having no restrictions was the problem.
【43题详解】
根据“Sometimes what you choose not to do matters more than what you decide to do.”及全文可知，作者通过
叙述迈克准备考试的经历，告诉我们选择不做某些事情要比决定做一些事情更加重要。故填Sometimes
what you choose not to do matters more than what you decide to do.
