    Love Animal Shelter

    Foster Owner Program
    You can help save a dog's life by becoming a foster owner until we find a loving owner to adopt your pet or until we reunite them with their original owner. We have dogs of all ages for you to care for, and many require special attention.

    Although being a foster owner is one of the most rewarding experiences in the world, its emotional, physical, and financial demands should be given careful consideration. For this reason, we require all of our applicants go through an orientation program at our shelter so that they can get used to the responsibilities of caring for a dog and decide for themselves if they would like to continue doing it. We will also have one of our staff conduct a home and lifestyle evaluation to determine if each applicant's living situation is suitable for one of our dogs. Additionally, once a dog has been placed in your care, our adoption center will be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week to help with any situations that arises.

    A New Study Says You Can Spread to Your Dog
    Research shows that most dog owner's find their pets to be great stress busters.Curling up on the couch with your pug on playing eatch with your Labradoodle is a great way to unwind and letthe cares of the dlay slip away .

Hair records the level of the stress bormone cortisol in the body over time s0 by analy zing these hairs, the team could figure out just now much stress both the owners and their pets were under long_ ferm.
    The studly found the stress level of the dogs and their owners matched up : higher levels of sitress among owners showed up as higher levels of stress in their dogs. The efct was even more pronounced if the dogs was female or if it took part in agility copettions with is owner.
    Previous research has found that cortisol in humans and their dogs can rise together in the short term especially when competing. But this finding was someting new. " This is the first time we've seen a long term synchroniation in stress levels between members of two diferent species。
    We haven't scen this between humans and dogs before." lead research lina r oth told the guardian.And what about a pooch's lifestyle?did limited opportunitics for play or more time spent alone stress out the dogs? nearly as much as belonging to a human with high cortisol levels.

    Female dogs whose owners had higher scores in the Big five traits of neurotic ism openness, and conscientiousness had higher cortisol levels, while the same was true of male dogs whose owners scored high in agreeableness.

    Every Dog Has His Say
    Kimiko Fukuda always wondered what her dog was trying to say. Whenever she put on makeup,it would pull at her sleeve.______(1)When the dog barks,she glances at a small electronic gadget(装置). The following “human” translation appears on its screen:“Please take me with you”“I realized that's how he was feeling.”says Fukuda.
    The gadget is called Bowlingual,and it translates dog barks into feelings.People laughed when the Japanese toymaker Takara Company made the world's first dog-human translation machine in 2002.But 300,000 Japanese dog owners bought it.______(2)
    “Nobody else had thought about it,”said Masahiko Kajita,who works for Takara.“We spend so much time training dogs to understand our orders;what would it be like if we could understand dogs?”
    Bowlingual has two parts.______(3)The translation is done in the gadget using a da- tabase containing every kind of bark.
    Based on animal behavior research,these noises are divided into six categories:happi- ness,sadness,frustration,anger,declaration and desire.______(4)In this way,the data- base scientifically matches a bark to an emotion,which is then translated into one of 200 phrases.
    When a visitor went to Fukuda's house recently,the dog barked a loud“bow wow”. ______(5)It was followed by“I'm stronger than you”as the dog growled and sniffed(嗅) at the visitor.
    The product will be available in US pet stores this summer for about US$120.It can store up to 100 barks,even recording the dog's emotions when the owner is away.

    _______(1)
    A: A wireless microphone is attached to the dog's collar,which sends information to the gadget held by the owner.
    B: Nobody really knows how a dog feels.
    C: This translated as“Don't come this way”.
    D: More customers are expected when the English version is launched this summer.
    E: Now,the Japanese girl thinks she knows.
    F: Each one of these emotions is then linked to a phrase like“Let's play”,“Look at me”, or“Spend more time with me”.

    答案:E
    解析:
    空格前后句中都出现了she(she指代第1个句子中提到的Kimiko Fukuda, 而这个名字看来不是本土英国人或本土美国人的名字),空格前后句都是在围绕she(Kimiko Fukuda)进行讲述,因此推侧空格处的句子在内容上也很可能与she(Kimiko Fukuda)相关,因此判断E项“现在,这个日本女孩认为她知道了”很可能是答案。而且the Japanese girl在空格的前文中有呼应的内容(Kimiko Fukuda),而且Kimiko Fukuda也听起来非常像是日本人的名字,因此肯定了E是答案。
    空格前面的句子提到“在日本有30万养狗的人购买了它”,“它”指代前句中的first dog-human translation machine“第一台把狗的叫声翻译成人的语言的机器”。空格前面的句子中提到了翻译机器的购买者(顾客),借助这个信息判断D很可能是答案(D也谈到了顾客,而且在内容上是进行了比较:D提到“购买英语版本的顾客会更多”,因为讲英语的人比日本人更多,所以购买英语版本的顾客更多,这是符合常理的。)
    空格前句提到“Bowlingual由两个部分组成”,由此可推测Bowlingual就是前文中提到的翻译机器的名字,空格后面的句子提到“翻译在……的设备中进行”,结合空格前后的内容来看,空格处很可能会对翻译机器进行介绍,因此判断A项“一个无线麦克风被系到狗的项圈上……”很可能是答案。而A和空格后面的句子通过gadget的重复出现形成了意义上的街接和连贯。结合空格前后句的内容来看,A中的“无线麦克风”和空格后面句子中的“使用数据库进行翻译的设备”就是空格前句中提到的“翻译机器的两个组成部分”。
    空格前句具体提到了六种情感,空格后面也继续提到了情感,因此判断空格处也提到情感的可能性较大,因此判断F可能是答案,而且F中these emotions在空格前句中有呼应的内容(happiness , sadness , frustration , anger , declaration and desire)。
    空格前后句使用的时态都是一般过去时态,而C恰巧也是一般过去时态,因此判断C很可能是答案。(提示:相邻语句往往基调时态一致。)从句意上看:空格前句提到“当客人来到Fukuda的家门口时,她的狗会大声地‘汪汪’叫”,C中的this就是指“狗在看到来人时汪汪的叫声”,而狗之所以叫就是在说“Don't come this way(不要到这边来)”,因此 C在语意上也与空格前句构成了很好的街接。

    Every Dog Has Its Say
    Kimiko Fukuda,a Japanese girl,always wondered what her dog was trying to say.Whenever she put on makeup,it would pull at her sleeve._______(46)When the dog barks,she glances at a small electronic gadget(装置).The following“ human” translation appears on its screen:“ Please take me with you .I realized that's how he was feeling.”said Fukuda.
    The gadget is called Bowlingual,and it translates dog harks into feelings .People laughed when the Japanese toymaker Takara Company made the world's first dog-human translation ma- chine in 2002 .But 300,000 Japanese dog owners bought it.________(47)
    “Nobody else had thought about it,”said Masahiko Kajita,who works for Takara. We spend so much time training dogs to understand our orders;what would it be like if we could understand dogs?
    Bowlingual has two parts.________(48)The translation is done in the gadget using a data- base(资料库)containing every kind of bark. Based on animal behaviour research,these noises are divided into six categories:happiness,sadness,frustration,anger,declaration and desire.________ (49)In this way,the database scientifically matches a bark to an emotion,which is then translated into one of 200 phrases.
    When a visitor went to Fukuda's house recently,the dog barked a loud“bow wow”.This translated as“Don't come this way”.________(50)The product will be available in US pet stores this summer for about US$120 .It tail store up to 100 barks,even recording the dog's emotions when the owner is away.

    ________(48)
    A: A wireless microphone is attached to the dog's collar,which sends information to the gadget held by the owner.
    B: Nobody really knows how a dog feels.
    C: It was followed by“I'm stronger than you”as the dog growled(嗥叫)and sniffed(嗅)at the visitor.
    D: More customers are expected when the English version is launched this summer.
    E: Now,the Japanese girl thinks she knows.
    F: Each one of these emotions is then linked to a phrase like“Let's play”.“Look at me”or “Spend more time with me”.

    答案:A
    解析:
    文章的前两句话提出了Kimiko Fukuda一直在想的一件事,即狗究竟想表达什么。紧接着应该给出一个答案是比较符合逻辑的。E就是答案。


    上一句话说的30万日本养狗人已经买了人狗翻译机。符合逻辑的下一步是更多的人还会买。因此D是合理的选项。


    上一句说的是Bowlingual这个装置有两个部分。接着应该是具体说明。A是对装置的具体说明。


    第五段的第一句话说的是:根据动物行为研究,这些杂音可以分成六类:幸福;悲痛;受挫;气愤;声称;欲望。因为是人狗翻译机,这些情感还需要跟人的话对应起来。


    上一句话说的是:当一个客人最近来到Fukuda的屋时,狗大声地叫着“bow wow”的声音。因为是在讲人狗翻译机,下面一句话应该讲的是它的翻译。因此C是对的。

    ______(5)
    A:A wireless microphone is attached to the dog's collar,which sends information to the gadget held by the owner.
    B:Nobody really knows how a dog feels.
    C:This translated as“Don't come this way”.
    D:More customers are expected when the English version is launched this summer.
    E:Now,the Japanese girl thinks she knows.
    F:Each one of these emotions is then linked to a phrase like“Let's play”,“Look at me”, or“Spend more time with me”.

    答案:C
    解析:
    空格前后句中都出现了she(she指代第1个句子中提到的Kimiko Fukuda, 而这个名字看来不是本土英国人或本土美国人的名字),空格前后句都是在围绕she(Kimiko Fukuda)进行讲述,因此推测空格处的句子在内容上也很可能与she(Kimiko Fukuda)相关,因此判断E“现在,这个日本女孩认为她知道了”很可能是答案。而且the Japanese girl在空格的前文中有呼应的内容(Kimiko Fukuda),而且Kimiko Fukuda也听起来非常像是日本人的名字,因此肯定了E是答案。
    空格前面的句子意为“在日本有30万养狗的人购买了它。”“它”指代前句中的first dog-human translation machine(第一台把狗叫声翻译成人的语言的机器)空格前面的句子中提到了翻译机器的购买者(顾客),借助这个信息判断D很可能是答案。D也谈到了顾客,而且在内容上是进行了比较:D“更多顾客期待今夏上市的英语版本”,因为讲英语的人更多,所以购买英语版本的顾客更多,这是符合常理的,所以答案为D。
    空格前句意为“Bowlingual由两个部分组成”,由此推测Bowlingual就是前文中提到的翻译机器的名字,空格后面的句子意为“翻译在……的设备中进行”,结合空格前后的内容来看,空格处很可能会对翻译机器进行介绍,因此判断A“一个无线话筒被系到狗的项圈上……(讲述设备的操作)”很可能是答案。而A和空格后面的句子通过词语 gadget的重复出现形成了意义上的街接和连贯。结合空格前后句的内容来看,A中的“无线话筒”和空格后面句子中的“使用存储了各种狗叫声的数据库进行翻译的设备”就是空格前句中提到的“翻译机器的两个组成部分”。
    空格前句具体的提到了六种情感,空格后面也继续提到了情感,因此判断空格处也提到情感的可能性较大,因此判断F可能是答案,而且F中these emotions在空格前句中有呼应的内容(happiness, sadness , frustration , anger, declaration and desire)。
    空格前后句使用的时态都是一般过去时态,而C恰巧也是一般过去时态,因此判断C很可能是答案。(提示:相邻语句往往基调时态一致。)从句意上看:空格前句意为“当客人来到Fukuda的家门口时,她的狗会大声地‘汪汪’叫”,C中的this就是指“狗在看到来人时汪汪的叫声”,而狗之所以叫就是在说“Don't come this way(不要到这边来)”,因此 C在语意上也与空格前句构成了很好的街接。

    正确答案: D
    解析:
    细节题。第二段末句说,有效沟通是训练爱犬按照自己的意愿行事的必要方法,表明本题正确答案为B项。A项与本文第二段第二句话意思有出入;C项内容本文无;D项中的“extreme measure”与第三段中第三句话矛盾。

  • 第17题:

    单选题
    In the second paragraph, the writer talks about someone saying “You are a lucky dog.” He is saying that ______.
    A

    the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly

    B

    “dog” can’t be used to refer to people

    C

    this saying means the same as “You are a lucky guy” or “you are a lucky gal”

    D

    sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    文中提到“But bringing in the ‘dog’ he put you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck”,即用dog这个词是把你放低了,他说的可能使你不配这种运气。D项“有时候说话者用的词暗示了话语之后的真正意思”,很好的阐述了这一点,D项正确。
