Just like children, they use a “ look and learn” ways when they go about their tasks.Scientists at Oxford universities designed an experiment to test if the dogs have the ability to copy humans actions by using a simple wooden box. 10 owners showed their dogs how to open the wooden box .Sometimes they use their heads to push it and sometimes they use their hands.10 dogs were divided into two groups-Group 1 and Group 2. In the first part of the test, Group 1 were rewarded with a piece of meat for copying their owners actions. Group 2 were rewarded with food for not copying and using other ways. With each dog the experiment was repeated hundreds of times. Scientists recorded the time to see which group was first to get 85% right. They found that Group1finished the task much sooner than Group 2.In the second part of the test, all the dogs were only rewarded for copying the way that their owners used. Group1 reached the 85% mark more quickly than Group 2.So the scientists draw a conclusion: “Like humans, dogs can copy actions that they see. Dogs imitative（仿效的）behavior is shaped more by their interactions（互动）with humans than by evolution(进化).”Scientists said,“A dogs behavior is influenced much like that of a child; they look and learn similar behavior. We hope that owners understand the importance of their actions and use this knowledge to set good examples and therefore have a good effect on the behavior of their pets.”（1）The scientists believe dogs imitative behavior mainly comes from_.A . proper rewardsB . domesticationC . human-dog interactionsD . evolution（2）The best title may be “_”.A . Dogs can finish their tasks quicklyB . Dogs are interesting animalsC . Masters always set good examplesD . Dogs behave like their masters.（3）From the experiment, we know _.A . It took the two groups of dogs the same time to finish the required taskB . The dogs that copied their masters finished the required task much soonerC . The dogs that were encouraged to copy their masters finished the task more slowlyD . The dogs that were encouraged not to copy their masters finished the task more quickly（4）According to the last paragraph, we can infer _.A . a cruel man can raise a cruel dogB . dogs can be influenced by anyoneC . dogs always behave positivelyD . dogs are the best kind of pets23. （20分）短文理解 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳选项回答问题或完成句子。Why is clean water so important to developing countries?

Did I turn the coffee maker off? Did I lock the door? Are the kids doing their homework or watching television? With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries.A smart home is a home with a communication network. This network connects devices(装置),such as lights and TV sets, and allows them to be controlled from far away through electrical wiring, mobile phone communication or WiFi over the internet.More and more people may start to consider owning a smart home, because it makes life much more convenient. It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on vacation abroad, you can use a smart home controller to switch on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. Most smart home technology and devices are wireless and can be set up with a minimum of tools, using only the guiding information. When a problem appears, you can deal with it yourself without paying a professional.However, for home-users, the smart home technology is far from perfect. It can be rather expensive to own the technology and the devices. Also, because the smart home system(系统)allow its owner to get home information from anywhere, it leaves the home easy to be attacked by hackers(黑客),who may secretly use or change the information in the system.Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home technology. Imagine being able to get fashion advice from your mirror, or receive food shopping suggestions from your refrigerator. While there are others who worry that those smart devices will make people lazier and lonelier. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure-smart home technology will change the way we live and work.（1）According to the passage, nowadays a smart home can lock the door through .A . electric lightsB . mirror technologiesC . mobile phonesD . shopping programs（2）The third paragraph of the passage is mainly about .A . the steps to use smart systemsB . the prices of smart programsC . the advantages of a smart homeD . the tools for setting up smart devices（3）Which of the following is TRUE about a smart home according to the passage?A . Smart homes cant help feed pets nowadays.B . Smart homes costs a lot of money at present.C . You cant control your smart home in other countries.D . Its hard for hackers to get information from smart homes.（4）Whats the writers opinion according to the passage?A . People will become less happy in the future.B . Peoples life style will be different in the future.C . Mobile phones are the most important in smart homes.D . Smart homes are much better than other smart systems.25. （10分）阅读理解CHICAGO- Have you ever worked on your laptop computer with it sitting on your lap, heating up your legs? If so, you might want to rethink that habit from now on. Doing it a lot can lead to “toasted skin syndrome (症状)”, an unusual-looking spotted skin condition caused by long-term heat exposure (暴露), according to medical reports.In one recent case, a 12-year-old boy from California developed a skin discoloration on his left lap after playing computer games a few hours every day for several months. “He recognized that the laptop got hot on the left side; however, he did not change its position,” Swiss researches reported in an article published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.Another similar case is a Virginia law student who needed treatment for the spotted darkening on her leg. Dr. Kimberley Salkey, who treated the young woman, learned the student spent about six hours a day working with her computer placed on her lap. As Dr. Salkey later learnt, the temperature under the laptop could reach 51 degrees. That case, from 2007, is one of 10 laptop-related cases reported in medical journals in the past six years.The condition can also be caused by overuse of heating pads (垫子) and other heat sources that usually arent hot enough to cause burns. Its generally harmless but can also cause such permanent (永久的) skin darkening. In very rare cases, it can cause damage leading to skin cancers, said the Swiss researchers, Drs. Andreas Arnold and Peter Itin from University Hospital Basel. They do not mention any skin cancer cases linked to laptop use, but suggest, to be safe, placing a carrying case under the laptop if you have to hold it on your lap.Dr. Kimberley Salkey said that under the microscope, the affected skin is similar to skin damaged by long-term sun exposure.Major producers including Apple and Dell warn against placing laptops on laps or exposed skin for long periods of time because of the risks for burns. In the past, “toasted skin syndrome” has happened to workers whose jobs require being close to a heat source, including bakers and glass blowers, and in people who gathered near hot stoves to stay warm.Dr. Anthony J. Mancini, chief at Childrens Memorial Hospital in Chicago, said that its unlikely that computer use would lead to cancer since its so easy to avoid close skin contact (接触) with laptops.（1）According to the passage, “toasted skin syndrome” can be caused by all the followingEXCEPT _.A . being close to a heat source or hot stovesB . long period of direct contact to hot laptopC . using ones laptop with a carrying caseD . overuse of heating pad and other heat sources（2）The underlined word “discoloration” in the 2nd paragraph refers to _.A . spotB . darkeningC . sunburnD . h
