How can we tell whether they experience sadness or happiness? Over the past 20 years, researchers have made great progress in this field. It’s very hard for us to understand the feelings of animals, because they cannot tell us how they feel. However, we can know how they feel by some of their representations (表现) . The easiest reaction(反应) that an animal can feel about something is to change its behavior(s). Humans often change looks and actions depending on whether they experience a happy thing or not. Animals show these special looks as well. For example, changes in the ear place or the amount (量) of the white part of the eyes can show different levels of pain or fear of animals. It is important to remember that the looks of animals are usually different from those of humans. Their joy might not be shown by a smile, and sadness may not be followed by tears. Another example of animal actions that is connected to feelings is vocalizations (发声) , which can show stress of many different animals. We know this is true for humans, too. Imagine you are singing a song in front of many people, and your voice might shake if you are nervous. Researchers have found that the vocalizations of pigs, sheep and cows also change and get less smooth when these animals are nervous, for example, when they are separated from the group. It seems that animals react to their environments as much as humans do. So, we can guess that animals have rich feelings. This might encourage us to rethink the environments where we raise the animals, such as farms, zoos or our houses. If we can better understand how animals react to their environments, we can improve these environments as well as human-animal relationshies. 41．The animals’ different levels of pain can be shown from ________. A．their special faces B．their different voice C．changes of eye colors D．different ear places 42．Why does your voice might shake when you sing in front of many people? A．Because you are very nervous. B．Because you don’t have enough sleep. C．Because you want to win an honor.      D．Because you are afraid of singing. 43．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．The places of raising animals. B．The ways of how to raise animals well. C．The suggestions of how to protect the environment. D．The uses of understanding how animals express feelings. 44．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 45．What’s the best title for the text? A．Do Animals Like People? B．Do Animals Feel as We Do? C．Do Animals Show Sadness? D．Do Animals Need Feelings? B Doctors across the world tell us it is necessary to eat lots of vegetables to keep the heart healthy. But a new study in February, 2022 suggested eating a lot of vegetables may not greatly cut down the risk of heart problems. The study is from universities in Oxford and Hong Kong, China. Almost 400,000 people took part in it. They answered questions about their lifestyle, food, and what raw (生的) and cooked vegetables they ate. The study actually found that the risk of dying from heart problems was around 15% lower for those eating the most vegetables, especially raw vegetables. However, scientists explained that many other factors (因素) also have something to do with this 15% drop. These factors may affect (影响) our health just as much as vegetables. These include other things we eat, how much exercise we get, where we live and whether we smoke or drink. Lead researcher Dr. Qi Feng from the University of Oxford said, “Our large study did not find clear evidence (证据) that how many vegetables you take can cut down chances of heart problems.” But does it mean that eating vegetables is futile? No. Many other scientists advise that people should still eat at least five kinds of fruit and vegetables every day. That’s because vegetables are important for keeping good health and reducing (减少) the risk of serious illnesses. 46．How many people answered questions for the study? A．About 4,000. B．About 1,000. C．About 100,000. D．About 400,000. 47．According to the passage which may affect heart health? ①Whether we smoke.         ②Where we live.         ③How we get to work. ④What job we do.         ⑤How much exercise we get. A．①③⑤ B．①②③ C．①②⑤ D．③④⑤ 48．What does the underlined word “futile” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Useless. B．Bad. C．Cheap. D．Necessary. 49．Which of the following is TRUE about the study? A．Eating cooked vegetables is better than eating raw vegetables. B．Many factors are as important as eating vegetables to heart health. C．Dr. Qi Feng from the University of Oxford started the study alone. D．Scientists found facts showing eating vegetables can keep heart problems away. 50．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Vegetables are healthier than meat. B．Eating too many vegetables is bad for our health. C．Doctors across the world are lying about eating vegetables. D．Eating vegetables may not be so helpful to keep the heart healthy. 六、短文首字母填空（10分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Ben would hear strong winds outside his home in Alabama.

How can we tell whether they experience sadness or happiness? Over the past 20 years, researchers have made great progress in this field. It’s very hard for us to understand the feelings of animals, because they cannot tell us how they feel. However, we can know how they feel by some of their representations (表现) . The easiest reaction(反应) that an animal can feel about something is to change its behavior(s). Humans often change looks and actions depending on whether they experience a happy thing or not. Animals show these special looks as well. For example, changes in the ear place or the amount (量) of the white part of the eyes can show different levels of pain or fear of animals. It is important to remember that the looks of animals are usually different from those of humans. Their joy might not be shown by a smile, and sadness may not be followed by tears. Another example of animal actions that is connected to feelings is vocalizations (发声) , which can show stress of many different animals. We know this is true for humans, too. Imagine you are singing a song in front of many people, and your voice might shake if you are nervous. Researchers have found that the vocalizations of pigs, sheep and cows also change and get less smooth when these animals are nervous, for example, when they are separated from the group. It seems that animals react to their environments as much as humans do. So, we can guess that animals have rich feelings. This might encourage us to rethink the environments where we raise the animals, such as farms, zoos or our houses. If we can better understand how animals react to their environments, we can improve these environments as well as human-animal relationshies. 41．The animals’ different levels of pain can be shown from ________. A．their special faces B．their different voice C．changes of eye colors D．different ear places 42．Why does your voice might shake when you sing in front of many people? A．Because you are very nervous. B．Because you don’t have enough sleep. C．Because you want to win an honor.      D．Because you are afraid of singing. 43．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．The places of raising animals. B．The ways of how to raise animals well. C．The suggestions of how to protect the environment. D．The uses of understanding how animals express feelings. 44．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 45．What’s the best title for the text? A．Do Animals Like People? B．Do Animals Feel as We Do? C．Do Animals Show Sadness? D．Do Animals Need Feelings? 【答案】41．D 42．A 43．D 44．B 45．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了动物是如何表达自己的感受的。 41．细节理解题。根据“For example, changes in the ear place or the amount (量) of the white part of the eyes can show different levels of pain or fear of animals.”可知，耳朵位置或眼睛白色部分的变化可以显示不同程度的疼痛或对动物的恐惧，故选D。 42．细节理解题。根据“Imagine you are singing a song in front of many people, and your voice might shake if you are nervous.”可知，当你在很多人面前唱歌时，你的声音可能会颤抖，应是因为紧张，故选A。 43．段落大意题。根据“If we can better understand how animals react to their environments, we can improve these environments as well as human-animal relationshies.”可知，如果我们能更好地理解动物对环境的反应，我们就能改善这些环境以及人与动物的关系。由此可知，最后一段主要在阐述研究动物情感的价值。故选D。 44．篇章结构题。第一段是引出研究的主题；第二、三段是给出问题的答案并举例说明；最后一段是总结全文，阐述研究的意义。B项符合本文的结构，故选B。 45．最佳标题题。本文主要讲述了动物是如何表达自己的感受的，在很多方面，它们和人类是一样的。B项“动物和我们有同样的感觉吗”最能概括全文，故选B。 B Doctors across the world tell us it is necessary to eat lots of vegetables to keep the heart healthy. But a new study in February, 2022 suggested eating a lot of vegetables may not greatly cut down the risk of heart problems. The study is from universities in Oxford and Hong Kong, China. Almost 400,000 people took part in it. They answered questions about their lifestyle, food, and what raw (生的) and cooked vegetables they ate. The study actually found that the risk of dying from heart problems was around 15% lower for those eating the most vegetables, especially raw vegetables. However, scientists explained that many other factors (因素) also have something to do with this 15% drop. These factors may affect (影响) our health just as much as vegetables. These include other things we eat, how much exercise we get, where we live and whether we smoke or drink. Lead researcher Dr. Qi Feng from the University of Oxford said, “Our large study did not find clear evidence (证据) that how many vegetables you take can cut down chances of heart problems.” But does it mean that eating vegetables is futile? No. Many other scientists advise that people should still eat at least five kinds of fruit and vegetables every day. That’s because vegetables are important for keeping good health and reducing (减少) the risk of serious illnesses. 46．How many people answered questions for the study? A．About 4,000. B．About 1,000. C．About 100,000. D．About 400,000. 47．According to the passage which may affect heart health? ①Whether we smoke.         ②Where we live.         ③How we get to work. ④What job we do.         ⑤How much exercise we get. A．①③⑤ B．①②③ C．①②⑤ D．③④⑤ 48．What does the underlined word “futile” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Useless. B．Bad. C．Cheap. D．Necessary. 49．Which of the following is TRUE about the study? A．Eating cooked vegetables is better than eating raw vegetables. B．Many factors are as important as eating vegetables to heart health. C．Dr. Qi Feng from the University of Oxford started the study alone. D．Scientists found facts showing eating vegetables can keep heart problems away. 50．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Vegetables are healthier than meat. B．Eating too many vegetables is bad for our health. C．Doctors across the world are lying about eating vegetables. D．Eating vegetables may not be so helpful to keep the heart healthy. 【答案】46．D 47．C 48．A 49．B 50．D 【导语】本文介绍了科学家研究发现吃大量的蔬菜可能不会大大降低患心脏病的风险。不仅蔬菜，还有一些其他的可能影响人们的心脏健康。 46．细节理解题。根据“Almost 400,000 people took part in it. They answered questions about their lifestyle, food, and what raw (生的) and cooked vegetables they ate.”可知，研究中大约40万人被问问题。故选D。 47．细节理解题。根据“These include other things we eat, how much exercise we get, where we live and whether we smoke or drink.”可知，我们是否吸烟、居住在哪里以及做多少运动等影响心脏健康。故选C。 48．词句猜测题。根据“Our large study did not find clear evidence (证据) that how many vegetables you take can cut down chances of heart problems.”可知，大型研究没有发现明确的证据来说明吃多少蔬菜可以降低患心脏病的几率，这是否意味着吃蔬菜是没有用的；“futile”表示“没有用的”，与useless同义。故选A。 49．细节理解题。根据“These factors may affect (影响) our health just as much as vegetables.”可知，对心脏健康来说，许多因素都和吃蔬菜一样重要。故选B。 50．主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了科学家的一项新研究表明吃大量的蔬菜可能不会大大降低患心脏病的风险；选项D符合文意，故选D。 六、短文首字母填空（10分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Ben would hear strong winds outside his home in Alabama.
