Would students get the same benefits by reading to an adult, or to a teddy bear? In 2014, a group of scientists in South Africa decided to find it out. Their experiment (实验) looked at a hundred third graders. The students were divided into four groups. One group read to the dog. A second group read to a teddy bear. A third group read to an adult. And the fourth group followed normal school activities, with no extra reading time. The students were tested on reading skills before the program began. They were tested again after ten weeks. The results are amazing——the dog group won! Students in the dog group understood what they were reading better than students in the other groups. When the students were tested eight weeks after the study ended, the students in the dog group were still the winners. Why did the students who read to dogs do best? Understanding that starts with the brain. A part of the brain is called Broca’s area. Scientists believe the size of this part is important for reading and it’s greatly affected (影响) by things like stress. And a comfortable environment is exactly what reading to dogs provides. When kids read to dogs, their stress levels usually go down. Stress levels affect the learning and memory areas of the brain. There is a chemical marker (化学标记物) of stress named cortisol in our bodies, and studies show that petting dogs reduces cortisol levels. Petting dogs also typically increases (提升) a feel-good chemical called oxytocin. So adding a friendly dog to reading practice acts as a shield against the effects of stress. Robriq, a student from Colorado, reads to a dog named Nella each week. “It is unusual to catch me reading a book, and I usually only read the first few pages. But I like it when I read to Nella. I like the company, and she really enjoys being read to.” Robriq says that his idea about reading has changed since starting the program. “It has encouraged me to read.” 1．Paragraph 2 is mainly about ________. A．what scientists found out B．who joined in the experiment C．why the students were grouped D．how scientists did the experiment 2．The underlined word “shield” in Paragraph 5 probably means something ________. A．to mark the danger B．to keep people safe C．to show disagreement D．to make things clearer 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．Nella helps Robriq become a top student. B．The winner of the third test was the adult group. C．Reading to dogs may affect the size of Broca’s area. D．We feel happier when cortisol levels keep going up. 4．Which is the best title for the passage? A．What affects kids’ reading skills? B．Could dogs help kids with reading? C．How much could pets change a kid? D．Are reading clubs with dogs popular? （22-23七年级上·江苏扬州·期末）Chen Kaiyin from Beijing pays 2,000 yuan and “adopts (领养)” a panda at Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo. The zoo will use the money to buy food for its animals. As for Chen, she can learn about the panda’s daily life online and go to the zoo for free. She can also have the chance to look after the animal. Animals like golden monkeys and tigers are also on the adoption list, according to the zoo’s WeChat account.

Visitor numbers go down greatly because of the COVID-19. While online adoption helps the Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo get through hard times. Like Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo, many zoos also faces the same kind of problems. ________ Shanghai Wildlife Park livestreams (网上直播) from 9 to 11 am every day to show how the animals live. Thousands of people watch pandas eat bamboo online. Now, the zoo has many fans on Douyin. In Jiangsu, a cute monkey named Kai Sa becomes a star at Nantong Forest Safari Park.

Does the idea really work? Would students get the same benefits by reading to an adult, or to a teddy bear? In 2014, a group of scientists in South Africa decided to find it out. Their experiment (实验) looked at a hundred third graders. The students were divided into four groups. One group read to the dog. A second group read to a teddy bear. A third group read to an adult. And the fourth group followed normal school activities, with no extra reading time. The students were tested on reading skills before the program began. They were tested again after ten weeks. The results are amazing——the dog group won! Students in the dog group understood what they were reading better than students in the other groups. When the students were tested eight weeks after the study ended, the students in the dog group were still the winners. Why did the students who read to dogs do best? Understanding that starts with the brain. A part of the brain is called Broca’s area. Scientists believe the size of this part is important for reading and it’s greatly affected (影响) by things like stress. And a comfortable environment is exactly what reading to dogs provides. When kids read to dogs, their stress levels usually go down. Stress levels affect the learning and memory areas of the brain. There is a chemical marker (化学标记物) of stress named cortisol in our bodies, and studies show that petting dogs reduces cortisol levels. Petting dogs also typically increases (提升) a feel-good chemical called oxytocin. So adding a friendly dog to reading practice acts as a shield against the effects of stress. Robriq, a student from Colorado, reads to a dog named Nella each week. “It is unusual to catch me reading a book, and I usually only read the first few pages. But I like it when I read to Nella. I like the company, and she really enjoys being read to.” Robriq says that his idea about reading has changed since starting the program. “It has encouraged me to read.” 1．Paragraph 2 is mainly about ________. A．what scientists found out B．who joined in the experiment C．why the students were grouped D．how scientists did the experiment 2．The underlined word “shield” in Paragraph 5 probably means something ________. A．to mark the danger B．to keep people safe C．to show disagreement D．to make things clearer 3．What can we learn from the passage? A．Nella helps Robriq become a top student. B．The winner of the third test was the adult group. C．Reading to dogs may affect the size of Broca’s area. D．We feel happier when cortisol levels keep going up. 4．Which is the best title for the passage? A．What affects kids’ reading skills? B．Could dogs help kids with reading? C．How much could pets change a kid? D．Are reading clubs with dogs popular? 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项实验，结果表明孩子给狗读书对孩子有益处。 1．段落大意题。由文中“One group read to the dog.A second group read to a teddy bear.A third group read to an adult. And the fourth group followed normal school activities, with no extra reading time.”可知这一段主要是关于科学家是如何做实验的。故选D。 2．词义猜测题。由文中“Petting dogs also typically increases (提升) a feel-good chemical called oxytocin. So adding a friendly dog to reading practice acts as a shield against the effects of stress.”可知，抚摸狗狗通常还会增加一种让人感觉良好的化学物质——催产素。因此，在阅读练习中加入一只友好的狗狗，可以充当抵御压力影响的保护物。故选B。 3．推理判断题。由文中“A part of the brain is called Broca’s area. Scientists believe the size of this part is important for reading and it’s greatly affected ( 影响) by things like stress. And a comfortable environment is exactly what reading to dogs provides. When kids read to dogs, their stress levels usually go down.”可推断，布洛卡区和的大小与压力大小相关，当孩子们给狗读书的时候，压力水平会下降，布洛卡区会变大。故选C。 4．标题归纳题。由文章开头“Now, programs for kids to read to dogs are popular around the world to help improve their reading.”并结合全文可知这篇短文主要讲述全球流行的儿童给狗读书的项目，旨在帮助提高他们的阅读能力。故选B。 （22-23七年级上·江苏扬州·期末）Chen Kaiyin from Beijing pays 2,000 yuan and “adopts (领养)” a panda at Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo.
