There are some basics, such as sitting, staving not going to the bathroom on your rugs. And if your dog learns things quickly, you might start to think it’s really smart. But if you really want to know about dog intelligence, you have to look at non-dogs as well to understand what’s special to dogs and what is just typical of groups they belong to.Stephen Lea. a retired professor of psychology from the University of Exeter, and his team looked at hundreds of published studies to compare dog cognition (认知) with that of other animals. They found that dogs are good at picking up on social commands.Lea explained, “Th ey are good, for example, at using human pointing or following human gaze, looking at what you’re looking at. We’re not saying dogs aren’t good at those tasks, they are. What we were saying is that there are some other animals that are just as good at them, like bottle-nose dolphins and gray seals.”Lea also said, “It’s not something that’s unique to dogs or indeed very unexpected in dogs, given the sorts of animals dogs are. In other words, they’re domesticated (驯化的). They’re original from social hunters. And importantly, they’re carnivores (食肉动物). They belong to a big group of mammals that also includes cats, hyenas, otters, bears, and also the seals and sea lions, which we sometimes forget about, but which, of course, are also very easy to train despite n ot being domesticated.”And while dog cognition may not actually be exceptional, their noses definitely are. Their sense of smell—they can tell the extraordinary things, like which of two identical twins they’re looking at or sniffing (嗅) at. Lea also points out there are some tasks that dogs apparently cannot do, such as using tools or exhibiting self-awareness. However, he said, “There’s always the possibility that someone, somewhere is at this moment trying to prove that a dog can do something that we sa id it couldn’t. But if you can find it, we will happily change our minds.”28. Which of the following statements does Lea agree with in the passage?A. Dogs can use tools and exhibit self-awareness.B. Dogs are also thought to be clever even if knowing few basic commands.C. Dogs are better at comprehending human pointing than bottle-nose dolphins.D. Dogs can tell similar things like which of two identical twins they’re lookingat.29. How do dogs get the ability of picking up on social commands?A. Dogs are born with the ability.B. Dogs copy other animals’ behavior.C. Dogs are domesticated by human beings.D. Dogs are taught the ability by their parents.30. What is Lea’s attitude towards the opinions which are different from his?A. Neutral. B Positive. C. Doubtful. D.Negative.31. What is the appropriate title for the passage?A. The way to evaluate a dog’s IQ.B. The way to domesticate a smart dog.C. The way to improve a dog’s cognition.D. The way to study a dog’s small.DA decade-long study, also the first major research into air pollution and disease has shown that living near a main road increases the risk of dementia (痴呆). The study of 6.6 million people found that one in 10 dementia deaths in people living within 50 meters of a busy road was due to waste gas and noise.Air pollution is already known to contribute to the deaths of around 40,000 people in Britain each year by worsening breathing and heart conditions, while previous research showed emissions (排放物)can cause brain shrinkage. But the new study by Canadian public health scientists is the first to find a link between living close to heavy traffic and the increasing of dementia, a discovery described as “believable” and “impressive” by British experts.Dr Hong Chen said, “Our study suggests that busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that could give rise to the onset (发生) of dementia. Population growth and urbanization has placed many people close to heavy traffic, and with widespread exposure to heavy traffic and growing rates of dementia, even a modest effect from near-road exposure could cause a large public health burden. More research to understanding this link is needed, particularly into the effects of different aspects of traffic, such as air pollutants and noise.”In the new study, the team tracked all adults aged between 20 and 85 living inOntario for more than a decade from 2001 to 2012. They used postcodes to determine how close people lived to a main road and analyzed medical records to see if they went on to develop dementia, Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化).While there was no correlation between living near a road and Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis, dementia risk reduced as people lived further from a main road, with a 7 percent higher risk in developing dementia among those living within 50 metres: a 4 percent higher risk at 50-100 metres and a 2 percent higher risk at 101-200 metres After 200 metres there was no increase. Researchers believe that noise of traffic may also play a role in the raised risk as well as other urban pollution, which is often present near busy roads.32. What can we know about Canadian’s new study?A. it puzzles British experts.B. It brings benefits to dementia patients.C. It shows that air pollution can lead to dementia.D. It shows that air pollution can cause brain shrinaage.33. What Dr Hong Chen said shows that ________.A. people suffer dementia mainly due to air pollutionB. widespread exposure to traffic reduces the nsk of having dementiaC. the link between living near roads and having dementia is not obviousD. busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that cause dementia34. What does the underlined word “correlation” in the last paragraph mean?A. change.B. association.C. improvement.D. secret.35. From the last paragraph we can know that ________.A. living within 200 metres of a main road is safe for peopleB. noise of traffic is not a risk of people developing dementiaC. living near a main road adds to the risk of suffering Parkinson’s diseaseD. the further away from heavy traffic, the smaller the risk of having dementia第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Unemployed day laborers have been turned into "jungle workers", planting trees for 500 rupees a day（$3）. It's not much, but it can help the unemployed get by.As the coronavirus struck Pakistan, the 10 Billion Trees campaign was halted as part of social distancing orders put in place to slow the spread of the virus. But earlier this month, the government allowed the forestry agency to restart the program and create more than 63, 600 jobs.The program is employing three times the number of planters as it normally does, and the planting season has been extended from May（its usual end）throughout June, in order to keep workers employed. All workers are being told to wear masks and keep two meters of distance from others.Shahid Rashid Awan, project director for Punjab province, said the project hopes to reach 50 million trees this year. “We can absorb all the unemployed laborers and workers who have fled the cities and returned to their villages in the past few weeks.”A study declared tree planting to be an effective way to store carbon, and if planted in large quantities around the globe, a powerful solution to climate change. While it won’t fix every climate-related problem we have, it can go a long way if done widely, which is exactly what Pakistan is trying to do with such impressive determination.And the workers will benefit greatly, too. Not only are they able to earn money and support their families at a difficult time, but they’re outside in the fresh air, away from the potential health risks from more tightly-packed urban environments. It’s a brilliant idea that all country leaders should consider copying.8.How does the coronavirus influence Pakistan?A.A lot of animals are starving.B.Many people are out of work.C.Much land is left unmanaged.D.The government has lost power.9.Which of the following best explains "halted" underlined in Paragraph 3?A.Agreed.B.

It brings many economic benefits.DWhen the leaves begin to change their colors and the birds head south, we know the season is starting to change. On September 7 comes White Dew (白露), the 15th solar term (节气) of the year. It indicates the beginning of the cool autumn. As the temperature falls, white dew is often seen on the grass and trees at night.For writers and poets, autumn is a difficult season to descr ibe. It’s the end of the summer, and therefore a little sad. The days seem to get shorter, and when you wake in the morning, there’s mist(薄雾) and it’s cooler. Winter is just around the corner.American writer Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book A Moveable Feast, “You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare (光秃秃的) against the wind and the cold, wintry light.But on the other hand, autumn has its good side. There are so many changes at this time of year, such as the colorful leaves and cooler nights. French writer Albert Camus even thought autumn was a second spring, “when every leaf is a flower.” This view is also found in the most famous autumn poem in English literature, To Autumn by John Keats. In that poem, Keats says that autumn has its own songs, just like spring.Another theme of this season is wisdom. The arrival of autumn is thought to be similar to a person becoming mature (成熟的).The great Irish poet W.B. Yeats used this idea in his poem The Wild Swans at Coole writing about the changing seasons in Coole Park in the west of Ireland. Seeing and counting 59 swans, he remembers first making the count as a young man. Seeing the swans do the same thing for all those years, he’s reminded that even though we get older, our hearts always stay the same age.12. What can be concluded about White Dew?A. It is often ignored by writers and poets.B. It is the time of year with the most rainfall.C. It is when the temperature begins to drop.D. It indicates the end of the autumn.13. A Moveable Feast was mentioned to ______.A. point out that autumn is very coldB. present the sad part of autumnC. show that winter w ill soon comeD. express sadness about the end of life14.

Nature is full of lessons to be learned.15. What’s the article mainly about?A. The solar term White Dew.B. Why autumn is a sad season.C. Autumn weather and activities.D. Famous writers’ description of autumn.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
