or stimuli(刺激).Training may be for the purpose of companionship,detection,protection,entertainment or all of the above.An animal trainer may use various forms of reinforcement(强化)or punishment to condition an animals responses.Some animal trainers may have a knowledge of the principles of behavior analysis and operant conditioning(操作性条件反射),but there are many ways to train animals and as a general rule no legal requirements or certifications are required.Chickens.Training chickens has become a way for trainers of other animals(primarily dogs)to perfect their training technique.Bob Bailey,former director of Animal Behavior Enterprises and the IQ Zoo,teaches chicken training courses where trainers teach chickens to tell different shapes,to navigate an obstacle course and to chain behaviors together.Chicken training is done using operant conditioning,using a clicker and chicken feed for reinforcement.Fish.Fish can also be trained.For example,a goldfish may swim toward its owner and follow him as he walks through the room,but will not follow anyone else.The fish may swim up and down,signaling the owner to turn on its aquarium(养鱼缸)light when it is off,and it will skim the surface until its owner feeds it.Pet goldfish have also been taught to perform more complicated tasks,such as doing the limbo(a kind of dance)and pushing a miniature soccer ball into a net.Pigs.Among all animals,they are the third cleverest after monkeys and dolphins.Scientists think the training of pigs is easier than the training of dogs and cats.Pigs have a very good sense of smell.They can find things nearby or faraway.They can also help the police to find out drugs at an airport or at a train station.21.Which of the following is NOT the aim of training animals?A.Detecting objects for people.B.Keeping people company.C.Protecting or entertain people.D.Making people clever.答案:D解析:细节理解题。由第一段的第二句“Training may be for the purpose of companionship,detection,protection,entertainment or all

is a way to improve the trainers skills.D.Chickens can be trained to help the police to find out drugs.答案:C解析:正误判断题。由Chickens这一部分第一句中的“perfect their training technique”可知C项正确。23.According to the passage,a fish can.A.be trained to follow anyoneB.turn on its aquarium light when it is offC.signal its owner to get fedD.take part in a football game in the field答案:C解析:细节理解题。由Fish这一部分第三句中的“and it will skim the surface until its owner feeds it”可知,鱼会一直在水面上游来游去直到它的主人喂它。24.Scientists think the training of pigs is easier because .A.pigs do not bite like dogsB.pigs are smart animalsC.pigs have a good sense of hearingD.pigs can help find out drugs at an airport答案:B解析:推理判断题。由Pigs这一部分中的第一句可知“猪是除了猴子、海豚之外聪明度排名第三的动物”,由此可知,猪之所以更容易被驯化是因为它们聪明。故B项正确。B(20162017湖南麓山国际高二检测)Both are so much related to each other.And both are so dissimilar!What are the differences between friendship and love?Is platonic(理想的)friendship possible between people of opposite sex?Let us try and understand.What is friendship?Why do we call a person our friend?When do we call someone a very good friend?If we care for a person,if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person,they are our good friends.We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency.We are always sure that our friend will understand why we acted in a certain way.We need not explain anything to our very good friends.The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so close,that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.What about love?In a relationship of deep love,all the sharing that we discussed above are taken for granted.But love transcends(胜过,超越)all these.During love,we are attached with a particular person,while in friendship,one may have many friends.A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other,that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt!Love also involves a physical element.Friendship does not have that.This is a vital difference.Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward.Nature does not give us friendship.Your heart beats will never increase in expectation of meeting your friend.You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend.You will not feel totally lost,if you dont meet your friend for a few days.You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend.But in love,you will do all these and much more.Indeed,there is no comparison between love and friendship.25.Whats the function of the first passage?A.To come up with the question for the further discussion.B.To explain the main idea of the following passage.C.To tell us the whole meaning of the passage.D.To advise us to make friends in different ways.答案:A解析:推理判断题。根据第一段可知,两者联系是如此密切,两者却又那么截然不同。友情和爱情有什么区别?异性朋友间的理想化的友谊真的存在吗?我们来试着理解下。所以第一段提出问题是为了进一步的讨论。故选A项。26.How do you do to make real friends?A.You should give others your everything.B.You should share,help and understand each other.C.You should have the same interests in everything.D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.答案:B解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的第五、六、七句可知,在紧急情况下我们总是依靠好朋友,我们总是确定好友会理解我们做事的方式,我们不需要向亲密的朋友解释什么。故选B项。27.If you are friends,youll .A.dream of him at nightB.lie awake at night and think your friendC.feel you dont meet him for a long timeD.dont feel excited meeting your friend答案:D解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知,在盼朋友出现时,你的心跳不会加快。故选D项。28.The writer gives us the article to .A.tell us the meanings of love and friendshipB.tell us the relationship between friends and relativesC.tell us the difference between love and friendshipD.tell us how to get friendship and love答案:C解析:主旨大意题。纵观全文,特别是文章最后一句“Indeed,there is no comparison between love and friendship.”(确实,爱情和友情没有可比性)可知,作者在告诉我们爱情和友情间的不同。故选C项。C(20162017江西吉安市一中高二检测)It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams,the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life,but manners on the road are becoming horrible.Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage,but to have one in the drivers seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners,but good sense too.It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.On the other hand,a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough.Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness
