Ⅴ.阅读表达
Do Dogs Understand Us?
Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.
A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3－year－old child. Its word－learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩)．
In one experiment, the researchers took all items that Rico is_supposed_to_know_and_divided_them_into_20_groups_of_10_objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four texts, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.
In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.
The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.
Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed( 品种) known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9yearold dog had been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.
It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweettalk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!
1．What do we know from paragraph 2？(No more than 15 words)
_______________________________________________________
2．Please explain the underlined “is supposed to” in English. (No more than 5 words)
_______________________________________________________
3．How has Rico got a good memory except being a special sort according to the text? (No more than 15 words)
_______________________________________________________
4．What does the writer advise us to do by saying “it wouldn't hurt to sweet－talk…”？(No more than 15 words)
_______________________________________________________
5．Which statement in the passage probably inspires you to like the dog Rico and why? (The reason should be answered within 20 words)
_______________________________________________________
答案：
1．The dog, Rico, has very good word－learning skills.
2．should/is thought to/is expected to
3．It has been trained to fetch toys by their names since its early age.
4．Be friendly to your dog.
5．open

Yours sincerely
Li Hua
答案：
Dear editor，
There is no doubt that safety plays an important role in our daily school life.Recently our school has carried out a program which was aimed at making our school a safe place.
I consider this as a good practice，which will make us aware that safety should always come first in our daily life，whether when we stay at school or not.When we are having P．E. or doing sports，we should attach importance to our safety and avoid getting hurt.What's more，when we get into trouble with our classmates，we should remain calm and avoid any form of fighting.We should form a cheeful，healthy psychological quality.
In a word，I think I myself should work hard and do what I can to make our school a safe place.
Yurs sincerely
