CCats are as good as dogs at certain memory tests, according to a new Japanese study published in the journal Behavioral Processes.The study was conducted using 49 domestic cats and different bowls of food. The findings show that cats can recall memories of positive experiences, such as eating a delicious snack. The experiment was a test of episodic memory, or memory of past events and experiences that occur at a particular time and place. It was modeled on a similar xx study conducted on dogs.Kyoto University psychologist Saho Takagi told BBC News that both cats and dogs may have episodic memory similar to that of humans.In the experiment, cats were led to four open containers of food, and were permitted to eat from two of them. After fifteen minutes, the containers were replaced with empty ones, and the same cats returned to the room in search of food. Here, researchers found that they spent more time exploring those containers from which they had already eaten than others. That cats were able to remember “ what” and “where” information about the food bowls suggests they have episodic memory. Still, its unclear whether cats can experience past memories in the same depth as humans do.“Its hard to know if the cats actually subjectively remember the experience of going to that particular bowl, such as the colors and the sounds,” Nick Diamond told TFK. “So when we study episodic memory in animals, scientists tend to boil it down to the what, the where, and the when without getting into the experience of what the animal is remembering, which is certainly tough to figure out.” Still, the studys results may have practical applications.” It opens the door to new studies examining how long cats memories can be, and whether they also remember richer episodics in their own life as humans do.”28.From the passage we know the test of episodic memory on dogs_.A.is conducted at presentB. has been done recentlyC. was conducted at xxD. will be carried out in xx29.How can the scientists know cats have episodic memory?A. By examining the bodies of cats.B. By checking “what” and “where” information.C. By checking the bowls that contain foodD. By showing the cats the same containers.30.In which part can this passage be found in a magazine?A. Environment B. Entertainment C. Science D. Stories31.The passage develops by_.A. discussion B. experiment C. example D. parisonDRecently, American President Trump announced his budget. One of the budgets would cut all funding to the Institute of Museum and Library services and libraries across the United States. However, as far as Im concerned, we need to save our libraries.Libraries provide books and after-school programs for children. They encourage literacy (识字）with summer programs. They help inspire a life-time love of learning and reading in children of all ages. Without them where will kids with no Internet at home do their homework? Where will kids have a place to study or borrow books after school? Therefore, we need libraries for our kids. We need them so that kids can grow up with a place, other than school , where learning and exploration is encouraged.For adults, libraries serve as a place where they can use the Internet to apply for jobs, get job training, early voting centers as well as book clubs to help make new friends. It can also serve as a place to pick up a book and learn something new. Whats more，they can also rent a book and get away from it all.Libraries save our information for the next generation. When we live in an era of alternative facts, where science is ignored in favor of personal feelings, we need libraries now more than ever. We need them to educate ourselves on the facts and hold the government accountable to them. We need them to have strong civic participation.If you agree with me，you shouldnt be silent on this issue. You can write or call directly to tell the president to save our libraries. You can also write to both your state Senators and your district representative. If you do not know who they are, you can find out here. Let them know this is a beneficial issue because all people use public libraries in their daily life.32.The author thinks that Trumps decision about his budget is_.A. difficultB. wrongC. practicalD. personal33.Unlike kids, adults use libraries to _.A.do social activitiesB.explore the worldC.surf the InternetD.borrow some books34. Which statement about libraries does the author agree with?A.Science should be learned in our libraries.B.Information can be stored in libraries forever.C.Government needs libraries more than before.D.Libraries play a more important role nowadays.35. What is the authors purpose of writing the last paragraph?A.To encourage us to talk about the issue.B.To persuade us to agree with his viewpoints.C.To call on us to fight with the American president.D.To call on us to disagree with the governments decision.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项Apps can teach some great things-at low or no cost. 36 .
