If that dog touched you with its nose, you might find how wet and cold it was. If dogs are so warm and fluffy(毛茸茸的), then why are their noses so cold? Before, people thought that dogs had cold noses to help them control their body temperature. But, a new study in the journal Scientific Reports has shown some interesting findings about dogs’ noses. The study found that when the air temperature was 30 ℃, the tip of a dog’s nose is about five degrees cooler than the air. But why is this? The researchers believed that the tip of a dog’s nose has a special sensory function(探测功能). So, they did an experiment to test it. The study showed that dogs could find weak heat sources—like a small animal—with their noses from 1.5 meters away. The research team studied three dogs named Charlie, Delfi and Kevin. For the experiment, the dogs had to tell the difference between two objects. The two objects were heated to different temperatures. Amazingly, all three dogs were able to sense the temperature difference between both objects. The study also found that the heat from the objects in the experiment “was too weak to be felt by human hands, even at very short distances”. The dogs were able to sense these heated objects from a distance, but humans were only able to feel the warmth of the object if they touched it. To know more about it, the research team also studied the brain activity of 13 dogs. When a warm object was put near their noses, there was an increase in brain activity. “From the two complementary(互补的) experiments, we can know that dogs are indeed able to sense heat from warm-blooded animals, and a special region of the brain is made to be active by such heat.” said Anna Balint, the leader of the study. 1What did the new study published in the journal Scientific Reports find about dogs? A. What makes dogs loyal. B. Why dogs have cold noses. C. How dogs feel heat better. D. How a dog’s temperature influences its brain activity. 2. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “region”? A. Way. B. Type. C. Area. D. Change. 3. What happened to the dogs when a warm object was put near their noses? A. They showed no change in their brain activity. B. They had different kinds of excitement. C. Their brain activity slowed down. D. Their brains became more active. 4. What can we infer from the passage? A. Heat sensing ability can help dogs hunt for food. B. The tip of a dog’s nose has a special sensory function. C. Dogs are smarter than other animals. D. The two experiments found different results. 四、阅读表达 The pirates did not return. It was very hot and unpleasant inside the fort. I had a plan and I needed to leave the fort. First I ran down to the white rocks and looked for Ben Gunn’s boat. I soon found it under some bushes. As soon as it was dark, I got into the boat and rowed out to the Hispaniola. I found the rope that connected the ship to the anchor and cut through it with my knife until the ship was free. As I did this, I could hear the angry voices of Israel Hands and another mutineer in a cabin above me. The ship began to move away in the night air. By then I was so tired that I fell asleep in the boat when I awoke I found myself at the southwest end of Treasure Island. I moved slowly to the next bay, and suddenly I saw the Hispaniola in front of me. The wind and the currents were moving the ship. I couldn’t see anyone on it. As soon as I was close enough, I grabbed a rope and climbed onboard. I soon saw two pirates lying on the deck at the back of the ship. One was dead. The other, Israel Hands, was injured and calling for rum. I drank the water and give Hands the rum. As he drank it, the color returned to his cheeks. “I’m taking over this ship, Mr Hands,” I said. “You will treat me as your captain.” “I imagine,” said Hands, “you want to get ashore. Now you need my help. Give me some food and drink, and something to tie up my wound. Then I’ll tell you how to sail the ship. That’s fair, isn’t it?” “I want to get to North Inlet.” Hands agreed to help me. We soon arrived at the North Inlet. Hands was very good at guiding me in and I followed his instructions perfectly. I was working hard on bringing the ship in safely and forgot to watch Hands. When I turned around Hands was standing behind me, his knife ready... ——Taken from Treasure Island 1．How did Jim get to the Hispaniola at the beginning? 2．How did Jim succeed in making the Hispaniola free in the night air? 3．Why did Jim give Israel Hands food and drink? 4．From the last paragraph, what do you think will happen to Jim next? 5．What is Jim like in your eyes? 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
