People

know

animals

do

have

feelings,

but

they

are

not

sure

if

these

feelings

are

correctly

understood.

In

recent

years,

scientists

have

done

research

about

the

feelings

of

cows,

frogs

and

pandas.▲

It

says

that

humans

can

tell

whether

a

chicken

is

happy

or

sad

by

listening

to

its

calls.

The

researchers

put

a

bowl

behind

a

door.

Inside

the

bowl,

sometimes,

there

was

something

chickens

love

to

eat,

such

as

rice

or

insects.

Sometimes,

there

was

nothing.

When

the

chickens

saw

food

behind

the

door,

they

seemed

happy

and

produced

fast

and

loud

sounds,

known

as

food

calls.

When

there

wasn’t

food,

the

chickens

made

low

and

long

noises

to

express

disappointment.

The

researchers

recorded

all

these

sounds

and

studied

their

waves.

Then

the

researchers

chose

16

recordings

of

such

chicken

noises.

Half

were

from

the

chickens

seeing

the

food

and

half

were

from

the

chickens

finding

no

food.

The

recordings

were

played

to

194

volunteers.

Sixty-nine

percent

of

the

volunteers

correctly

understood

whether

the

chickens

were

feeling

happy

or

not,

and

some

of

them

even

had

no

experience

of

taking

care

of

chickens.

The

result

shows

that

humans

have

the

natural

ability

to

understand

the

feelings

of

chickens.

Hopefully,

this

finding

can

bring

about

new

technology

to

help

with

chicken-raising,

a

big

industry

in

many

countries.

Some

scientists

are

already

working

on

a

smart

computer

program

that

can

identify

chickens’

feelings.

This

is

good

news

for

farmers

who

want

to

make

the

birds

happier

and

healthier.【主旨大意】本文是一篇說明文。一個(gè)研究結(jié)果表明人類可以通過聽雞的叫聲來判斷它是高興還是悲傷。1.信息還原題

Have

you

ever

seen

a

colorful

rainbow

in

the

sky

right

after

it

rains?

That

happens

when

the

sunlight

goes

through

the

water

in

the

air.

The

sun

shines

again

after

rain,

and

you

see

red,

orange,

yellow,

green,

blue,

indigo,

and

purple

light

in

the

sky—a

rainbow.

The

sun’s

light

is

actually

madeupof

many

colors

that

don’t

all

move

the

same

way.

When

this

light

goes

into

a

raindrop,

it

bends（彎曲）

a

bit

and

splits

into（裂成）

all

these

colors

like

red,

orange,

yellow,

green,

blue,

indigo

and

purple.

As

these

colors

come

out

of

the

raindrop,

they

bounce

off

（彈回）

the

inside

back

of

the

drop.

This

makes

them

bend

again

and

spread

out,

making

a

shape

like

part

of

a

circle,

which

is

the

rainbow

we

see.

Purple

bends

a

lot,

but

red

not

so

much.

So,

why

do

rainbows

look

like

a

curve?

It’s

because

the

raindrops

are

not

all

the

same

distance（距離）

from

us.

They

make

a

circle

shape

around

a

line

from

the

sun

to

our

eyes,

creating

that

curve.

Stand

with

your

back

to

the

sun

and

search

the

sky,

because

a

rainbow

appears

opposite

the

sun.

If

the

sun

is

too

high,

no

rainbow

can

appear.

But

sometimes,

you

might

even

see

two

rainbows

at

once!

That’s

when

the

sunlight

bounces

twice

inside

the

raindrops.

Next

time

you

see

a

rainbow,

remember

it’s

just

the

sun

and

rain

working

together

to

make

something

really

special

and

pretty

in

the

sky.【主旨大意】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了彩虹的成因以及關(guān)于彩虹的一些其他事實(shí)。6.細(xì)節(jié)排序題
