Cultural relics 李仕才 一、阅读理解 Some pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic，according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare.The study，published in the journal Biology Letters，is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal，influencing judgment.‎ Asher，a researcher at the University of Newcastle's Institute of Neuroscience，and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment.One reflected standard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft，deep straw.After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks，the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.‎ ‎“To do this，we trained each pig.In one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets—pigs love them—and at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans，which pigs find bittertasting，”a researcher said.‎ Over a number of training trials，pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets.On the contrary，they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.‎ The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations，to see how the pigs would react.Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside，showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets.Others，however，behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans，displaying pessimism.‎ The findings suggest that a onesizefitsall answer to animal welfare issues does not exist.Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people，there is still cause for concern.Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.‎ ‎1．What was the study trying to figure out?‎ A．How to make pigs happier.‎ B．The similarities between humans and pigs.‎ C．How living environment affected pigs' mood.‎ D．How pigs' mood and personality affected their judgment.‎ 9‎ ‎2．What does the underlined word “cushier”in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A．Simple. B．More comfortable.‎ C．Unpractical. D．Less free.‎ ‎3．Which bowl can test whether a pig is optimistic or pessimistic?‎ A．The bowl with chocolate sweets.‎ B．The bowl containing coffee beans.‎ C．The bowl full of both sweets and beans.‎ D．The bowl unfamiliar to two types of pigs.‎ ‎4．What do the findings of the new research imply?‎ A．People should treat pigs equally.‎ B．People's health relies on meat quality.‎ C．People should meet pigs' various needs.‎ D．People's attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.‎ ‎【解题导语】本文是一篇研究报告，讲述情绪和性格在动物中的相互作用。‎ ‎【段意梳理】第一段：概述情绪和性格在动物中的相互作用，这些相互作用会影响它们的判断。‎ 第二至五段：研究者Asher和她的研究团队把猪分成两组进行实验的过程。‎ 第六段：根据实验结果，研究人员进行分析和总结。‎ ‎1．D　考查细节理解。根据文章第一段第二句“The study，published in the journal Biology Letters，is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal, influencing judgment”可知，选项D的概括符合题意。所以选项D正确。‎ ‎2．B　考查词义猜测。根据画线词后的“more space and plenty of soft, deep straw”可知，另一个环境很舒适。所以选项B正确。‎ ‎3．D　考查细节理解。根据第五段第一句“The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations, to see how the pigs would react”以及该段后两句的对比描述可知，D选项与第五段内容一致。所以选项D正确。‎ ‎4．C　考查推理判断。根据最后一段尤其是最后一句可推知，要想获得高质量和口感好的猪肉，人们应当满足猪的多种需要。所以选项C正确。‎ 二、单句语法填空 ‎1．(2017·北京高考)The little problems ________ we meet in our daily lives may be inspirations for great inventions.‎ 答案：that　分析句子结构可知，空格处引导定语从句，先行词是the little problems，且从句中缺少宾语，故用that。‎ 9‎ ‎2．(2017·天津高考)My eldest son, ________ work takes him all over the world, is in New York at the moment.‎ 答案：whose　分析句子结构可知，此处缺少非限制性定语从句的引导词，且与其后名词存在所属关系，故应用whose。‎ ‎3．Mr Reed ________ (select) to represent us in the meeting has been sent to have a talk with them.‎ 答案：selected　由句子结构可知，此处应用非谓语动词作后置定语。select与其所修饰的Mr Reed之间为逻辑上的被动关系，因此填selected。‎ ‎4．It was clearly ________(evidence) that the company was in great difficulties.‎ 答案：evident　It is/was evident that ... 是常用句型，意为“很明显……”。‎ ‎5．Perhaps the most difficult challenge is how ________(survive) without friends in life.‎ 答案：to survive　“疑问词＋动词不定式”在本句中作表语，how to survive “怎么生存”。‎ ‎6．I don't really fancy ________ (do) business with him.‎ 答案：doing　fancy doing ... “想要做……”。‎ ‎7．He was severely criticized and ________ (remove) from his post.‎ 答案：removed　remove sb. from his post “开除某人”，此处是被动语态，因此填removed。‎ ‎8．It is said that the early European playing cards ________ (design) for entertainment and education.‎ 答案：were designed　be designed for “为……而设计”。‎ ‎9．We ________(face) the difficulty together, but why didn't you tell me?‎ 答案：could have faced　由后一分句可知，前一分句谓语应用could have done结构，表示“过去我们本来可以共同面对困难”。‎ ‎10．All the workers ________(belong) to the factory must obey the rule.‎ 答案：belonging　由句子结构可知，此处应填belong的非谓语动词形式，workers与belong to之间为逻辑上的主谓关系。故用现在分词belonging to作后置定语。belong to无被动语态。‎ 三、完形填空 ‎“Guys, get out of the mud!
