them.When horses live in the wild,other animals try to eat them,so a lot of horse talk is aboutstaying alive.Even now,when most horses live on farms,they watch for danger.For this reason,never walk behind a horse.If you surprise it,the horse might mistake you for a lion or wolfand give a dangerous kick.By watching the ears,you can get clues to what the horse is hearing.A horse can turn eachear in a different direction.For a wild horse,this skill is important for survival.The horsecan hear something creeping up behind it while also checking out a threatening noise in front.When a horse lets its ears down,its feeling safe and relaxed.Though these actions may benatural responses and not deliberate communications,they help you know what the horse isthinking.Sometimes horses can send definite messages.For example,they know they are safer whentheyre with other horses.If they become isolated,they“whinny(嘶鸣),”calling for company,Theyre saying,“Where are you?I m over here!”Domestic horses use the same sounds to stayin touch with other horses.If a horse snorts（打响鼻儿）,its not communicating anything.It s just clearing dustor grass seed out of its nose.But if it snorts while holding its head high and staring at something,its saying,“That looks dangerous.Get ready to run!”When two horses meet,they put theirnoses together and smell each others breath.Its their way of asking,“Are you a friend?”Horses also“blow,”breathing out the air loudly through the nose,when they meet somethingstrange.They are asking,“Is this safe?”Horses have a language of their own.Now you know a bit of what they might be saying!2018 年 10 月英语（二）试题和答案 第 2 页 共 7 页11.Horses in the wild talkmainly to .A.stay alive B.make friends C.find food D.keep awake12.It is dangerous to .A.touch ahorses ears B.ride a
