26、leston City Gazelle of Charleston Ga first used it. “We do not make the English language, and we merely record it,” the dictionarys staff wrote in “Words of the Week”.The words definition, when we read it, would seem to be without regard. However, Merriam-Webster defines “irregardless” as “nonstanda

27、rd” but meaning the same as “regardless”. According to Merriam-Webster, “Many people find irregardless to be a ridiculous word, as the ir-prefix usually indicates negative meaning; however, in this case it appears to make the meaning of regardless stronger.”“Its not a real word.

30、d, what meanings they have and where they came from.”“The dictionarys recognition doesnt enroll a word as correct in the English language,” McIntyre says. “It just says this is a word that a lot of people use in English. And heres what we know about it.” So its a word, but its use is still discourag

34、gardless of What You Think, “Irregardless” Is a WordDThe latest in cat research reveals that the lovely animal seems to have a basic grasp on both the laws of physics and the ins and outs of cause and effect. According to a newly published study, cats seem to be able to predict the location of hidin

35、g prey (猎物) using both their ears and an inborn understanding of how the physical world works. In a recent experiment, Japanese researchers taped 30 domestic cats reacting to a container that a team member shook. Some containers rattled (发出响声); others did not. When the container was tipped over, som

36、etimes an object fell out and sometimes it didnt. It turns out that the cats were remarkably smart about what would happen when a container was tipped over. When an object did not drop out of the bottom of a rattling container, they looked at it for a longer time than they did when the container beh

37、aved as expected. “Cats use a causal-logical understanding of noise or sounds to predict the appearance of invisible objects,” lead researcher Saho Takagi says in a press release. The researchers conclude that cats hunting style may have developed based on their common-sense abilities to infer where

38、 prey is, using their hearing. Scientists have explored this idea with other lovely creatures: babies. Like cats, babies appear to engage in whats called “preferential looking”looking longer at things that are interesting or unusual than things they perceive as normal. When babies expectations are d

39、isturbed in experiments like the ones performed with the cats, they react much like their animal friends. Psychologists have shown that babies apparently expect their world to be consistent with the laws of physics and cause and effect as early as two months of age. Does the study mean that cats wil

40、l soon grasp the ins and outs of cause and effect? Maybe. Okay, cats may not be the next physics faculty members at Americas most important research universities. But by demonstrating their common sense, theyve shown that the divide between cats and humans may not be that great after all.32. What do

43、 as normal.C. They do what they prefer to do.D. They are curious about everything.35. What can we conclude about cats from the passage?A. They have higher intelligence than many other animals.B. They can aid physics professors in their research work.C. They display extraordinarily high intelligence

44、in hunting.D. They interact with the physical world much like humans.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Being a teenager can be tough. “Troubled” and “rebellious” are often labels that people give kids in their teens.

45、 the likelihood of teenagers taking risks is due to the fact that their brains arent fully developed yet. _36_But a new study by researches at the University of Pennsylvania and Cornell University may have finally cleared up this misunderstanding._37_They simply are easily attracted by new things an

46、d are eager to explore the world.The adolescents lack experience. _38_This personality trait is called “sensation seeking”, which is shared by a lot of people and usually peaks during adolescence.Instead of being something to worry about, sensation seeking is actually necessary, since the process of
