       Dogs wag(搖擺) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found.

       Researchers in Italy  examined the tail wagging behaviour of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli(刺激物) with video cameras. To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years. The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at Bari University. The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow for them to view various stimuli. They were tested one at a time.

       The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—a positive experience—their tails wagged energetically to the right side. When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. The appearance of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less intensity again. The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left. Researchers supposed the dog was thinking of moving back. When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company. While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood (心情) of dogs. Computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.

71.The video cameras were used to catch the dogs’ responses because      .

A.it was easier to catch the dogs’ response changes in the tail wagging

B.the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time.

C.they enabled the dogs’ owners to know about their dogs’ habit

72.The underlined word “intensity” in the passage means        .

A.surprise                     B.worry                       C.excitement                 D.interest

73.When there are no stimuli, a dog will         .

A.wag to the left                                              B.wag to the right

C.not wag at all                                                D.wag to the left and then to the right

74.The underlined word “they” refers to         .

A.the dogs                    B.the trainers                C.the systems               D.the researchers

75.The purpose of doing the experiment is         .

A.to train dogs for their owners                         B.to help people judge the mood of dogs

C.to help dogs find company                             D.to help people choose their pet dogs

Why should you learn Sign Language? Do you want to improve your communication with a family member or friend who is deaf? Do you want to be able to communicate with deaf people in general? Would you like to advance in your career by being able to communicate in ASL? Do you want to be a Sign Language interpreter?
Sign language is not just a random (隨意的) collection of gestures but a full-blown (完全成熟的) language in its own right, complete with its own grammatical rules. Each country or region has its own sign language, as different from each other as English is from Spanish. Each version of sign language is somewhat linked to the spoken language in its region. For example, American sign language does share similarities with English, even though it is its own language.
The advantages of knowing sign language in addition to a spoken language are many. Communication becomes possible on many levels with the deaf community, with other people either hearing or not in any of the above situations, as well as many more.
While other languages take years to learn, American Sign Language can be taught in a much shorter time period. It is one of the easiest languages to learn because most of the signs were developed to mimic the actual word or phrase it is representing. Even the alphabet signs look like the letters of the English alphabet.
American Sign Language, or ASL, is the third most used language in the United States. Used by the deaf community, interpreters, and friends and family of the deaf. There are a lot of sites on the internet that not only shows you the sign with video, but will help you practice reading signs as well.
Teaching even hearing babies sign language seems to be the fashion in recent years and for good reason. Communicating in sign language is fun and natural as babies naturally use body gestures in early communication. Teaching baby sign language actually appears to enhance the learning of verbal skills and brain development of the children involved.
【小題1】Which two regions share similarities in their sign language?
A. Spain and Britain.
B. Mexico and USA.
C. Australia and Canada.
D. Japan and Korea.
【小題2】Sign language ________.

A．is a collection of gestures
B．is easier to learn than English
C．is not very popular in USA
D．has no link to the spoken language
【小題3】One of the reasons for learning sign language is that it ________.
A．increase self-confidence
B．provides more choices of career
C．trains brains
D．is interesting
【小題4】Babies’ learning sign language cannot ________.
A．help them talk sooner
B．help them walk sooner
C．increase communication at a very early age
D．enrich relationship with parents and the people who take care of them
【小題5】Which of the following topics is not discussed in the passage?
A．What is sign language?
B．The advantages of knowing sign language.
C．The relation of American sign language and English.
D．Ways of learning sign language.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每篇短文后所給各題的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

A

SINGAPOREAN singer JJ Lam，29，admitted that this March couldn’t be better：He outshined Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou and bagged four awards at the China Original Music Pop Chart Award(中國(guó)原創(chuàng)音樂(lè)流行榜) ceremony，including the most coveted(最渴望得到的)best male singer title．

Yet the trophies(獎(jiǎng)杯)were only part of an exciting month．Knowing that he has an O1ympic champion fan，Lam was so happy that he prepared his own gifts for Zhou Yang，the speed skating gold medalist：an autographed(簽名的)CD and a Mickey Mouse doll．He even invited Zhou to his birthday party on March 26 after Zhou told him that it was a great pity she had had to miss Lam's Beijing concert last year．

Lam showed his love and talent for music as early as middle school，but it doesn't mean he easily got to where he is now．Like many young men his age，Lam was once hooked(沉迷)on video games．“One in particular，World of Warcraft，obsessed(迷住)me,” he said．“I made up my own stories and characters and once I even composed(編曲)a soundtrack for the game.”

But luckily Lam soon realized things would have to change．“There was no future in playing games and I had to think about the years ahead,” he said．

After finishing high school，Lam joined the army. On the small island where he was stationed，he wrote dozens of songs．Still，his ambition of one day being a pop singer seemed an unrealistic dream to others．“Later，when my former officers heard my songs being played on the radio, they couldn’t believe it.” he said．

Not that the road to success wasn't a rocky one．When Lam went to Taiwan to develop his career, he felt lonely at first．He started playing computer games again．“I indulged(沉溺) myself in games day and night," he said．“But I came to realize that I mustn’t 1et the games take over my 1ife．I had to go out，see people and meet life’s challenges head on．”

Sometime in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch (門廊) will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on this brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home-based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers will unite print and broadcast reporting, and offer news and analysis with video images of news events.

    Most of the technology is available now, but convincing more people that they don’t need to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.

    Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry.

1. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers?

A. They are cheaper than traditional newspapers.

B. They are more convenient to read.

C. You can choose the kind of voice you want to hear.

D. You can easily save information for future use.

2. Which of the following is a reason why it will take a long time to complete the changeover?

A. The technology is impossible now.

B. Computer newspapers are too expensive.

C. The popularization of computers needs a long time.

D. Traditional newspapers are easier to read.

3. It can be inferred that journalists are against computer newspapers because _______.

A. they don’t know how to use computers

B. they think computer newspapers take too much time to read

C. they think the new technology is bad

D. they have been trained to write for traditional newspapers

4. We can infer from the passage that _______.

A. all technological changes are good

B. new technologies don’t always replace old ones

C. new technologies will eventually replace old ones

D. traditional newspapers are here to stay for another century

5. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Computer newspapers are well liked.

B. Newspapers of the future will be on the computer.

C. Newspapers are out of fashion.

D. New communications technology.
