单选题Adam’s dog, a golden retriever named Hans, can respond to over 150 different commands. Adam cites this fact as evidence for his claim that Hans can understand the English language. Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on Adam’s claim
题目
Each of the 150 commands to which Hans responds involves both a spoken word in English and a distinctive hand sign.
Hans does not respond to the same commands when spoken to him by Adam’s French and Italian friends in their own languages.
Scientists have demonstrated conclusively that canine vocal chords are incapable of replicating many of the sounds used in the English language.
Animal behaviorists have demonstrated that even very young dogs surpass both wolves and chimpanzees—animals that are thought to be more intelligent than dogs—in the ability to understand human nonverbal communication.
The golden retriever is widely considered to be less intelligent than the border collie, and no border collie has ever been shown to truly understand the English language.

第3题：
We all love a hero,and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all．You will often find?them going above and beyond duty to save someone,risking—and at times losing—their lives in the?process．
Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups,or from the traditional?Herding Group．These types include the Bloodhound,Labrador Retriever,Newfoundland,German?Shepherd,Golden Retriever,and Belgian Malinois—all of which are chosen for search-and-rescue?duty because of their amazing physical strength,loyalty,and their tendency for mental stability．
These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell—to better locate lost individuals—and?are often able to access hard-to-reach areas．As highly trained animals,they serve in many different?fields,including specialist search,snow slide rescue,dead body location,and tracking．
To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue?worker,a dog must display certain qualities．In addition to intelligence and strength,the dog must be?swift,confident,easily trainable,adaptable,and have a high level of stamina(耐力)and endurance．A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during“down”time is also required of search-and-rescue dogs．
A rescue dog goes through many,many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty．Training is not for the faint-hearted．Certification training can take from two to three years,working three to four hours a day,three to six days a week,often in group,team-oriented sessions．
Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training．Rescue training,for instance,includes“air scenting”—where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim′s scent(气味)and then follow the scent to the person．This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsed buildings and snow slide．
Which ability is most important for dogs to rescue people trapped in snow?A.Sharp hearing．
B.Swift movement．
C.Extraordinary smelling．
D.A strong memory．答案：C解析：【考情点拨】推理判断题。
【应试指导】由第六段最后两句可知，搜救训练的一项内容是让搜救犬去嗅空气中受害者的气味，这项能力对发现被困在坍塌建筑物和雪崩中的受害者至关重要。由此可推断，在搜救被困在雪里的受害者时，搜救犬极其敏锐的嗅觉是最重要的，故选C。 -

Of all Barry H．Landau's anecdotes about his friendships with presidential dogs,perhaps the best is the one about the time the Clinton White House called to postpone his play-date with Buddy．
Yes,Landau is both human and an adult,a 60-year-old author,presidential historian,former White House protocol officer and memorabilia collector．But so enamored is he of dogs,and so well connected to a succession of presidents,that he had an appointment for a South Lawn romp one day with Buddy,Bill Clinton's Labrador retriever(拉布拉多犬).
Logistics got in the way,though,and hence Clinton secretary Betty Currie's apologetic voice mail left at the Smithsonian Institution,where Landau was doing research:"I'm sorry,but we'll have to reschedule Mr．Landau's play-date with Buddy."
Not surprisingly,this is a happy week for Landau,with the new Obama family dog,Bo,joining a White House tradition that dates to George Washington．It's one that Landau feels is invaluable to a presidency.
"Having a dog just humanizes a president,"he says．"It completes the picture．It's something people can relate to."
And Landau has related to the best of them．He's known about 25 White House dogs since the Eisenhower administration．Among the presidential-pooch memorabilia in his Manhattan apartment are matching orange inaugural dog coats worn by LBJ's twin beagles(小猎犬),Him and Her,and a photo of Landau kissing Clipper,JFK's German shepherd.
Who was the first president to have a dog in the White House?A.Bill Clinton
B.John Kennedy
C.Dwight Eisenhower
D.George Washington答案：D解析：第四段。the new Obama family dog，Bo，joining a White House tradition that dates to George Washington．奥巴马的狗，Bo是自华盛顿总统以来加入白宫传统的新的总统家庭狗。由此可见，华盛顿是第一位把狗带入白宫的总统。 -

They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia (痴呆). The duties of these "guide dogs for the mind" will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.
