In the late 1950s, a Russian geneticist called Dmitry K. Belyaev attempted to create a tame (馴化的) fox population. Through the work of a breeding programme at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics at Novosibirsk, in Russia, he sought to find the evolutionary pathway of tame animals. His test subjects were silver-black foxes, a melanistic (帶黑色的) version of the red fox that had been bred in farms for the color of their fur.
He selected the animals based on how they responded when their cage was opened. About 10% of the foxes displayed a weak “wild-response”, meaning they were docile around humans. Those that hid in the corner or made aggressive voices were left in the farm. Of those friendly foxes, 100 females and 30 males were chosen as the first generations of parents.
When the young foxes were born, the researchers hand-fed them. They also attempted to touch or pet the foxes when they were two to two-and-a-half months old, for strictly measured periods at a time. If the young foxes continued to show aggressive response, even after significant human contact, they were thrown away from the population—meaning they were made into fur coats. In each selection, less than 10% of tame individuals were used as parents of the next generation.
By the fourth generation, the scientists started to see dramatic changes. The young foxes were beginning to behave more like dogs. They wagged their tails and “eagerly” sought contact with humans. By 2005-2006, almost all the foxes were playful, friendly and behaving like domestic dogs. The foxes could “read” human hints and respond correctly to gestures or glances.
(1)What do we know about Belyaev's breeding plan?
A.It explains how red foxes were bred.
B.It focuses on how tame animals evolved.
C.It explains why pet foxes became popular.
D.It concentrates on why tame animals disappeared.
(2)How did he choose his test foxes in the experiment?
A.By appearance.
B.By color.
C.By reaction.
D.By flexibility.
(3)What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A.Smart foxes were used for testing.
B.The purpose of selection was unclear.
C.Friendly foxes were kept on testing.
D.The selection was not exact and thorough.
(4)What is the distinguishing characteristic of the fourth generation foxes?
A.Behaving in a friendlier way.
B.Eating plants.
C.Having drooping ears.
D.Having shortened legs.
【答案】
(1)B
(2)C
(3)C
(4)A
【解析】本文為介紹說明文。文章介紹了俄羅斯遺傳學(xué)家Dmitry K. Belyaev的狐貍種群馴化計劃。
(1)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的Through the work of a breeding programme at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics at Novosibirsk, in Russia, he sought to find the evolutionary pathway of tame animals.可知,Belyaev's breeding plan的目的是找出馴服動物的進(jìn)化路徑,也就是如何馴化動物,故選B。
(2)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的He selected the animals based on how they responded when their cage was opened.可知,在試驗(yàn)中他根據(jù)籠子開門時的反應(yīng)來挑選測試對象。故選C。
(3)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的If the young foxes continued to show aggressive response…they were thrown away from the population…In each selection, less than 10% of tame individuals were used as parents of the next generation.可推知,在測試過程中,只有那些對人友好的動物會被留下來繼續(xù)進(jìn)行測試。故選C。
(4)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的描述可知,第四代狐貍開始變得更像狗了,他們搖著尾巴,急切地尋求與人類的接觸,在2005-2006年,幾乎所有的狐貍都好玩、友好,舉止像家養(yǎng)的狗。由此可知,第四代狐貍的特點(diǎn)是更加友好、溫順。故選A。

【題目】Most dogs hate being left at daycare (日托)一Not Riley! In fact, the five-year-old golden retriever(金毛尋回犬), who lives in Belmont, North Carolina, loves being at the Happy Dog Cafe & Boutique so much that he recently decided to pay the center a visit all by himself.
The chain of events began on May 6 when his owner, Tonia Mosteller, let Riley out in the backyard. But the pet had bigger plans than to relax and enjoy the warm spring afternoon. Earlier that day, Riley had run into his pals(朋友)who were spending the day at the Happy Dog Cafe & Boutique, and wanted to be with them. Hence, as soon as he was alone, the dog lifted the gate latch (插銷)and began the mile-long walk to the doggy daycare.
When Tonia returned a short time later, she found the backyard empty and the gate wide open. Fortunately, before she had time to panic, her husband called to let her know that Riley was safe and having the time of his life at his favorite daycare.
According to Teresa McCarter, owner of the centre, a customer had found Riley patiently sitting outside, just waiting to be let in. No sooner had Teresa opened the door than the golden retriever ran in to greet 26 of his best friends, who all seemed as thrilled to see him.
Tonia was not surprised that Riley knew exactly how to get to the daycare, given that he has been going there since he was a puppy. She was, however, amazed that he loved it enough to escape from the house. Though the Mostellers offered to pick Riley up, Teresa decided that if Riley had made the effort to get to the daycare on his own, the least she could do was allow him to enjoy a nice day with his pals.
【1】What was Riley’s bigger plan?
A. To play with his friends at the centre.
B. To relax himself in the backyard.
C. To spend the warm afternoon alone.
D. To walk himself in the warm afternoon.
【2】From the passage we can infer that ________.
A. Riley was badly treated at home
B. Riley was a very smart dog
C. other dogs often came to visit Riley
D. Riley’s owner left the gate open
【3】Where was Riley when a customer found him?
A. He was outside his backyard.
B. He was on the way to the centre.
C. He was waiting outside the daycare.
D. He was playing with the other dogs.
【4】What made Tonia surprised was that ________.
A. Riley knew the way to the doggy daycare
B. Riley was so thrilled lo see the other dogs
C. Riley has been going there since he was a puppy
D. Riley loved the centre so much to escape from home
