Crime happens every day，but people aren’t the only victims of illegal activities. There are also animals. Though animals can’t tell the police officers what they’ve suffered these are some of the hardest cases solved.
As we all know, poachers can make a lot of money by selling meat, fur and other parts of protected animals. As the animals become rarer, their parts become more valuable. So poachers earn even greater rewards for their collection of protected species. In the past few years, the price of ivory has risen to about $850 per kilogram. A piece of ivory can sometimes weigh 11 kilograms or more.
Now, scientists are fighting back. It is known that DNA plays a big part in solving human crime. Like fingerprints, DNA is unique to every person. So by examining DNA in blood or hair, the police can recognise criminals and victims.
If the worlds poached victims could talk, they would probably thank these scientists for their work.
1. The author uses the example of ivory to show that ________.
A. ivory is the most expensive part of an elephant
B. poaching is a very common activity in the world
C. poachers make a healthy profit from their illegal activities
D. poachers treat the protected animals cruelly
2. What is the author’s attitude towards the scientists work
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Appreciative.
3. The third paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. how to examine DNA of an animal
B. why DNA is unique to every person
C. the improvement of DNA technique
D. how DNA technique helps the police

Studies show that human beings and cats have been living together for about 9, 500 years. 1 Dogs are domesticated, meaning they have been trained to do what people want them to do.
As cat owners know well, cats do not obey humans in the same way dogs do. 2
As a result, many people have come to think that maybe cats simply do not understand human language. A report in the scientific journal Nature shows that cat understand human beings well enough to recognise their own names. The report describes experiments that involved having people say four words that were similar to a cat’s name. Each word had the same number of syllables as the name and some of the same sounds. The cats seemed to lose interest after the speaker said a few of the words. 3 The cats moved their ears or turned their heads when they heard their names. They also moved their feet or bodies very little—not a surprising result.
4 These animals reacted just as much to the own names.
“I think many cat owners feel that cats know their names, or the word ‘food’. 5 ” says Saito, who is a cat owner. The researchers hope that the findings from their study will help both cats and people.
A. Then the person said the cat’s name.
B. In fact some scientists claim that cats have trained us to take care of them.
C. They added that perhaps cats could learn words to warn them of dangerous things or places.
D. Dogs have lived with humans longer than cats.
E. The study was carried out by four researchers.
F. But until now, there is no scientific evidence to back that up.
G. In another part of the experiment, people said the names of the cats staying in a cat café.
答案：
I.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。犯罪活动每天都在发生，但人并不是非法活动的唯一受害者，受害的还有动物。如今警方通过检测血液或毛发中的DNA可以识别出罪犯和受害者。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的 So poachers earn even greater rewards for their collection of protected species.可知作者运用象牙的例子是为了说明偷猎者从他们的非法活动中获得了巨大的利润。故选C。
2.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段 If the world’s poach victims could talk，they would probably thank these scientists for their work.可知作者对科学家们的工作是欣赏的。故选D。
3.D 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的 Like fingerprints DNA is unique to every person. So by examining DNA in blood or hair，the police can recognise criminals and victims.可知第三段主要是为了解释DNA是如何帮助警方的。故选D。
II.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一篇报道显示，猫能很好地理解人类，能够认出自己的名字。该报道描述了研究人员用猫做的一系列实验，希望他们的研究结果对猫和人都有帮助。
1.D 本文讲述猫的习性，文章在开头段落将猫与狗作比较，引出话题，故该空承接上一句 Studies show that human beings and cats have been living together for about 9，500 means.（研究表明人类和猫在一起生活了大约9，500年。而狗和人类一起生活的时间比猫长。）。故选D。
2.B 由上文 As cat owners know well，cats do not obey dogs do.可知，猫不像狗那样服从人类，事实上，一些科学家声称猫已经训练我们去照顾它们。故选B。
3.A 本段讲述了实验的过程，包括让人们说出四个与猫的名字相似的单词。讲话者说了几个词后，猫似乎失去了兴趣。根据设空处下文 The cats moved their ears or turned their heads when they heard their names.可知，当人说了猫的名字，它们会动耳朵或转头。故选项A符合。
4.G 本段讲述了另一个实验过程，根据后文中的 reacted just as much to their own names可知，当人们说出在猫咪咖啡馆里的猫的名字时，它们的反应（次数）跟听到自己的名字（的次数）一样多，故选G。
5.F 根据设空处前一句 I think many cat owners feel that cats know their names，or the word ‘food’.可知，Saito认为很多养猫的人觉得猫知道它们的名字或者“食物”这个词。选项F（但直到现在也没有科学依据支持那一点。）承接上文，符合文意。故选F。
