In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. A new study adds chickens to the list. It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 4. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A. B. C. D. 5. How did the volunteers help with the research? A. By listening to the chicken calls. B. By taking care of the chickens. C. By finding food for the chickens. D. By making the chickens happy. 6. What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Control. B. Hide. C. Recognize. D. Hurt. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. Chickens’ Food Calls B. Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens C. Farmers’ Best Choice D. Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现人类能通过叫声判断小鸡的喜怒哀乐，这有望助力养鸡业发展。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. (当小鸡看到门后面有食物时，它们看起来很高兴，并发出快速而响亮的声音，这被称为食物叫声)”可知，小鸡高兴时发出的叫声是快速而响亮的，D选项展示的是快速而响亮波形的声音，符合题目要求。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, (这些录音被播放给194名志愿者听。69%的志愿者正确地理解了小鸡是高兴还是不高兴)”可知，志愿者通过听小鸡的叫声来帮助进行研究。故选A。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. (结果表明，人类具有理解鸡的情感的自然能力。希望这一发现能为养鸡业带来新的技术，养鸡业是许多国家的一大产业。一些科学家已经在研制一种智能计算机程序，可以identify鸡的感觉)”可知，人类能理解小鸡的感受，推测identify的意思是“识别”，与意义相近。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. (该研究说人类可以通过听小鸡的叫声来判断它是高兴还是悲伤)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了人类可以通过听小鸡的叫声来判断它们的情绪，是高兴还是悲伤，所以“快乐的小鸡，悲伤的小鸡”适合作为文章标题。故选B。 C One day in autumn Squire Gordon, my master, went on a trip into town. John, my caretaker, went with him. I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily. Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward. “There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe. Just then the man on the other side saw us. “Hey Halloo! Stop!” he cried. “What’s the matter?” shouted my master. “The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.” “Thank you for saving us, Beauty.” said John. He gently turned me round to the right-hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller. When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.” John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired. — Adapted from Black Beauty 8.

If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.”(“桥中间断了，一部分被冲走了。如果你上了桥，你就会掉进河里。”)”可知，那个人警告他们不要过断桥；根据最后一段“Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired.(哦！那天晚上他给了我多么丰盛的晚餐啊！多漂亮的稻草床啊！我很高兴，因为我累了)”可知，黑骏马因为自己的决定得到了很好的奖励，所以正确的顺序是ebdac。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward.(他用鞭子狠狠抽了我一下，我跳了起来，但我不敢前进)”可知，这句话直接展示了黑骏马在感觉到桥的危险后，即使受到鞭打也不敢前进的行为，这支持了“黑骏马知道桥很危险”这一主要观点。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move.

(当我的脚碰到桥的第一部分时，我确信有什么不对劲。我不敢向前走，我突然停了下来。“去吧，Beauty，”我的主人说，他用鞭子碰了我一下，但我不敢动。他狠狠地砍了我一刀，我跳了起来，但我不敢前进)”可知，黑骏马能够感知到桥的不安全，显示了它的聪明，在感觉到桥的危险后，拒绝听从主人的命令前进，这显示了它的勇敢，即黑骏马是勇敢且聪明的，故选A。 D In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance and theater in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War. At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years. Soon,groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theater by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh. Today the “Fringe”,once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theater,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theater groups performing,some said it was getting too big. A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1,25 million tickets were sold. 12.

They thought they were also famous. D. They wanted to take part in the festival. 14. Who joined the “Fringe” after it appeared? A. Popular writers. B. University students. C. Artists from around the world. D. Performers of music and dance. 15. We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival___. A. has become a non-official event B. has gone beyond an art festival C. gives shows all year round D. keeps growing rapidly 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了爱丁堡艺术节的历史和发展。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.”（当时的想法是在第二次世界大战后重新将欧洲团结在一起）可知，组织爱丁堡艺术节的目的是重新团结欧洲，故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform”（1947年，有八个剧团不请自来，他们认为每个人都应该有表演的权利）可知，他们不请自来是因为他们认为人人都有权利进行表演，即：他们想参加这个艺术节，故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theater by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.”（很快，一批批来自爱丁堡大学、后来来自牛津大学、剑桥大学、达勒姆大学和伯明翰大学的学生每年夏天都会前往苏格兰首都，在小教堂大厅里为爱丁堡人民表演鲜为人知的戏剧作家的戏剧）可知，后来加入的都是大学生，故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.

Chris Lewis D. Liz Payne B People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. A new study adds chickens to the list. It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 4. Which is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A. B. C. D. 5. How did the volunteers help with the research? A. By listening to the chicken calls. B. By taking care of the chickens. C. By finding food for the chickens. D. By making the chickens happy. 6. What does the underlined word “identify” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Control. B. Hide. C. Recognize. D. Hurt. 7. What is the best title for the passage? A. Chickens’ Food Calls B. Happy Chickens, Sad Chickens C. Farmers’ Best Choice D. Smart Farmers, Healthy Farmers C One day in autumn Squire Gordon, my master, went on a trip into town. John, my caretaker, went with him. I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily. Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John, “I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare not go forward, and I made a dead stop. “Go on, Beauty,” said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward. “There’s something wrong, sir,” said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on, Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe. Just then the man on the other side saw us. “Hey Halloo! Stop!” he cried. “What’s the matter?” shouted my master. “The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river.” “Thank you for saving us, Beauty.” said John. He gently turned me round to the right-hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller. When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.” John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired. — Adapted from Black Beauty 8.

D. Impatient and unwise. D In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance and theater in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War. At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years. Soon,groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theater by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh. Today the “Fringe”,once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theater,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theater groups performing,some said it was getting too big.
