But now researchers have explored this phenomenon by using an imaging machine to look inside the brains of 13 dogs as they listened to their owners’ voice.The reward pathway in the dogs’ brains lit up when they heard both praising words and an approving intonation (赞许的语调) — but not when they heard random (随机的) words spoken in a praising tone or praising words spoken in a flat tone, according to the researchers.“Dogs deal with both what we say and how we say it in a way which is amazingly similar to how humans do it,” says Attila Andics, a neuroscientist in Hungary. When dogs hear speech, he explains, they seem to separate the meaning of words from the intonation. Then the left hemisphere (半球) of the brain deals with meaning, while intonation is dealt with in the right hemisphere.All the dogs in the study were willing volunteers and were trained not to move in the scanner (扫描器). The dogs could get up and leave the machine whenever they wanted. But it was clear to the dogs that their human companions loved it when they did this very easy task. “They were really happy to take part,” says Andics. “The difficulty of the training was that they can’t move more than 3 millimeters in any direction, otherwise we will have to throw out all of the data.”He says most dog owners have experimented with trying to “trick” their dogs by saying nonsense words in a cheerful, happy tone of voice. “I think the big difference here is that they only heard us, and they didn’t see us,” says Andics, because the dogs were inside the machine. “Here, the only information they had was the speech signal. What we saw is that for praise to be dealt with as a reward, when there is no other supporting information, both word meaning and intonation have to fit.”28. What is regarded as a reward by dogs according to the study?A. Praising words in a flat tone. B. Random words in a flat tone.C. Praising words in a praising tone. D. Random words in a praising tone.29. How do dogs deal with what they hear?A. Focus more on the meaning. B. Focus more on the intonation.C. Use information from their peers. D. Use the two parts of the brain.30. What is a hard part of the training in Andics’ opinion?A. Looking into the dogs’ brain activity.B. Training dogs to stay still in the machine.C. Keeping dogs separated from their owners.D. Asking dogs to get up and leave the scanner.31. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A. Dogs Understand Tone and Meaning of WordsB. Dogs Indeed Know How to PraiseC. Dogs Can Recognize Owners’ VoicesD. Dogs Can Read Man’s Moods DIn the coming decade, space agencies and private space companies like SpaceX are planning to build a base on the Moon and Mars. While scientists are already building rockets for the journey, for long-term human settlements on them, astronauts will need fuel to carry out daily tasks. Many have suggested hydrogen (氢). But a group of scientists is working on turning CO2 in the atmosphere into jet fuel. As Mars is rich in CO2 and the lunar surface has a high concentration of CO2, it may be a feasible solution.For now the team of scientists at the University of Oxford is focusing on making jet fuel for the aviation (航空) industry. As the aviation industry releases over 900 million tons of CO2 every year, to battle climate change, it is necessary to turn the tide. So far aviation scientists have tried to use other energy resources like electricity to fly. But such flights are limited to short distances. For long-distance flights, there is no alternative yet.The concept of turning CO2 into jet fuel is not new. Previously, other similar methods had to rely on expensive catalysts (催化剂) like cobalt to speed up the chemical reaction. But what Oxford scientists suggest is adding a cheap iron-based catalyst and hydrogen to turn CO2 into liquid fuel. As the process would not require using fossil fuel, it will make the industry carbon neutral (碳中和的).The scientists tested the new catalyst in a lab at 300°C and at 10 times the air pressure at sea level. The entire process took 20 hours and turned 38 percent of CO2 into new chemicals. About 48 percent of the chemicals were jet fuel hydrocarbon and the rest were other by-products that are used in the production of plastic.Professor Peter Edwards, a lead scientist in the project, said the new method could be improved in two to three years to produce jet fuel in large quantities. “This is a really exciting, potentially revolutionary advance. Our vision is that the world can see that CO2 collected can be used as an energy carrier to enable sustainable aviation.” 32. Which word can best explain “feasible” underlined in paragraph 1?A. Unique. B. Practical. C. Time-tested. D. Quick.33. What problem does the aviation industry face?A. It is suffering from a serious fuel shortage.B. The traditional jet fuel is much too expensive.C. Climate change partly disturbs long-distance flights.D. Its alternative energy resources are not powerful enough.34. What do we know about the Oxford scientists’ method of fuel-making?A. It is green and cost-saving.B. It is complex and time-consuming.C. It runs tests in natural environment.D. It starts with immediate chemical reaction.35. What’s the purpose of the author?A. To attract people to explore the space.B. To inform us of a breakthrough in fuel research.C. To warn us the dangers of climate change.D. To encourage us to work in the aviation industry.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。College can be a challenging time for newcomers. For most students, it’s the first time they’ll be living alone and away from their parents. While students may face problems in university, there are solutions to these problems.   36   From the moment you get into school, you will need to choose your own classes, plan your schedule and eventually find out where your classes are at the school. Although there are tutors to help you with this, much of it needs to be done on your own. Balance academics (学业) and a social life. You will first need to put your classes, studies, projects and homework in order of importance. But you will need to find a way to balance academics with your social life, too.  37   This is because you go to school with your friends at the same time each day. But in college, your schedule may differ from your friends’ schedules.Deal with financial problems.  38   For many students, this is the first time they’re really on their own financially. Therefore, you have to be careful about how much money you’re spending each time. If having financial concerns, you can talk to a trusted adult in your family.Find time to eat healthily and exercise.   39   It talks about how freshmen usually gain 15 pounds during their first year of college. This is often due to the lack of healthy eating options at the school, the lack of exercise and finally, drinking. In order to keep a healthy lifestyle, be sure about what you’re eating. In short, you should avoid eating unhealthy food.  40   A. Have classes on time.B. Plan your class schedule.C. Money is a big challenge for students.D. More students tend to eat unhealthy food.E. Visiting the gym every week is also important.F. In high school, it’s often easier to balance these two.G. “Freshman 15” is a popular expression commonly used in college.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B，C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。   When my sister Diane began playing the violin , she was seven .
