8、台州二模)Ever wondered if dogs can learn new words? Yes, say researchers as they have found that talented dogs may have the ability to grasp new words after hearing them only four times.While previous evidence seems to show that most dogs do not learn words, unless eventually very well trained, a few in

9、dividuals have shown some extraordinary abilities, according to a study published in the journal ScientificReports.“We wanted to know under which conditions the gifted dogs may learn novel words,” said researcher Claudia Fugazza from a university in Hungary. For the study, the team involved two gift

10、ed dogs, Whisky and Vicky Nina. The team exposed the dogs to the new words in two different conditions.In the exclusion-based task, presented with seven known toys and one new toy, the dogs were able to select the new toy when presented with a new name. Researchers say this proves that dogs can choo

11、se by exclusioni.e., excluding all the other toys because they already have a name, and selecting the only one that does not.However, this was not the way they would learn the name of the toy. In fact, when they were presented with one more equally new name to test their ability to recognise the toy

12、 by its name, the dogs got totally confused and failed.The other condition, the social one, where the dogs played with their owners who pronounced the name of the toy while they were playing with the dog, proved to be the successful way to learn the name of the toy, even after hearing it only four t

13、imes.“The rapid learning that we observed seems to equal childrens ability to learn many new words at a fast rate around the age of 18 months,” Fugazza says.“But we do not know whether the learning mechanisms(机制) behind this learning are the same for humans and dogs.”To test whether most dogs would

14、learn words this way, 20 other dogs were tested in the same condition, but none of them showed any evidence of learning the toy names, confirming that the ability to learn words rapidly in the absence of formal training is very rare and is only present in a few gifted dogs.4.What was the purpose of

15、the study published in ScientificReports?A.To better train dogs ability to learn new words.B.To further confirm previous evidence about dogs.C.To prove the extraordinary memory ability of gifted dogs.D.To explore favourable conditions for gifted dogs new-word learning.5.How did the dogs react when e

16、xposed to two new names in the first condition?A.Slow to understand.B.Quick to learn.C.At a loss.D.In a panic.6.What was found about dogs new-word learning in the social condition?A.Learning through playing applied to most dogs.B.The social condition helped dogs learn new words.C.Dogs new-word learn

18、ning abilities to humans.C(2021山东济南高三适应性考试)They say everything is bigger in Texas. While that may be true, some of the best things in Texas are quite small. Here is a case in point: tiny Mount Vernon, a town of just under 3,000 people. But if you do come across Mount Vernon, you might just get an in

19、tention to stay. That happens a lot around here, and its worth noting how remarkable that is.Tom Wilkinson was born in Mount Vernon 87 years ago and moved back after he retired from his career as a college English professor in Dallas. Like many of his neighbours, Wilkinson can track his ancestors ba

20、ck to the pioneers who settled here in the 1870s. And like many, he values the simple life you cant easily find in big cities.“People are still polite. They hold the door open for you.” he says,“We grow strong roots here!”Preserving and honouring the past has been key to helping Mount Vernon survive

21、. The residents have restored and reopened some of the empty stores, including the old barbershop, built more than 100 years ago. An old general store was turned into a combination space. Wander in on any given day and you might find a book club discussion or a work session for the local genealogy(家

22、谱) group among the tables of people chatting over cups of coffee and plates of food.Mount Vernon has the kind of big hearts you tend to find in a small town. For instance, when a local policeman was diagnosed with cancer last year, ten-year-old Lola McKellar set up a lemonade stand to raise money fo

23、r his treatments. In 2015, when a 350-year flood sent water rushing into local homes, an army of volunteers showed up to get a wheelchair-bound neighbour and his wife to higher ground, and then came back to help others.8.What does the author think of Mount Vernon?A.Remote.B.Wealthy.C.Primitive.D.Att

27、riedrich Nietzsche wrote:“It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” Thomas Jefferson:“Walking is the best possible exercise.” Charles Dickens:“If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and perish.”Researchers have found quite a lot of connections between walkin

28、g and producing ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outsidecompared with on a treadmill(跑步机)produces the most novel and highest-quality ideas.The movement aspect of walking is obv

29、iously key. Our creative thinking is triggered(触发) by physical movement, which is exactly why walkingwith your dog, a friend, or alonefeeds creative thinking.The scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Breaking your routine with a walk can be a catalyst for fresh understanding of problems or pr

30、ojects. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighbourhood. You can walk through a park and observe people joking or birds singing. Be

31、ing inside, youre more likely to be lifeless, which means you dont have enough energy to wonder or create.So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking?

35、 such as whether to apply for a new job or start a new course.16 The more we can test our limits and abilities, the more we will learn about ourselves. New challenges are opportunities for us.17Rather than seeing the opportunity, often, we focus on what it will be like to fail. As a result, taking o

36、n a new challenge can be frightening. In these cases, we may avoid the challenge altogether and carry on going down the same path we were on.We make some excuses to ourselves so that we can stay in our comfort zone.18 By avoiding challenges, we dont have the opportunities to learn about ourselves. W

37、e feel trapped. We are troubled by discomfort, anxiety, and the sense that things are not quite right.There are times when we might want to avoid a challenge for good, realistic reasons. Perhaps, deep down, we are frightened of what other people might say and of what we might learn about ourselves.

38、But instead of acknowledging that, we tell ourselves that now is not a good time, or that this isnt the right opportunity.19To lead a true life, we need to take on new challenges that give us more opportunities to be ourselves. It is not that authentic people dont feel the same fear; rather, they ar

39、e simply more willing to face their fear.20 The question is not how to lead a life in which we never feel the fear of failure, but rather, how we can move forward despite our fear.A.In reality, it is our fear talking.B.The fear of failure can be too much to bear.C.However, we dont always see it that

40、 way.D.People think we can stay in our comfort zone and keep learning.E.Taking on such challenges is an important part of growing as a person.F.But the truth is that staying in our comfort zone is not necessarily comfortable.G.They are open to new experiences, cherishing the challenges of learning a
