Prehistoric human beings did catch and breed useful wild animals,but specialists in animal behavior now think that domestication was not simply something people did to animalsthe animals played an active part in the process.Wolves and wild horses,for example,may have taken the first steps in their own domestication by hanging around human settlements,feeding on peoples crops and getting used to human activity.The animals which were not too nervous or fearful to live near people produced their babies that also tolerated humans,making it easier for people to catch and breed them.In this version,people succeeded in domesticating only animals that had already adapted easily to life around humans.Domestication required an animal that was willing to become domestic.The process was more like a dance with partners than a victory of humans over animals.At first glance,the taming of cats seems to fit nicely into this new story of domestication.A traditional theory says that after prehistoric people in Egypt invented agriculture and started farming,rats and mice gathered to feast on their stored grain.Wildcats,in turn,gathered at the same places to hunt and eat the rats and mice.Over time,cats got used to people and people got used to cats.Some studies of wildcats,however,seem to call this theory into question.Wildcats dont share hunting and feeding areas,and they dont live close to people.Experts do not know whether wildcats were partners in their own domestication.They do know that long after people had acquired domestic dogs,sheep and horses,they somehow acquired domestic cats.Gradually they produced animals with increasingly tame qualities.5.What is suggested in recent research?A.Animals were less afraid than thought.B.Animals had an active role in their domestication.C.Wolves and horses were the first to be domesticated.D.Domestication meant something people did to animals.6.The word “dance” is used in Paragraph 3 to show that .A.animals and humans were close B.control over animals was easyC.animals were independent of humansD.domestication was like a game7.What probably attracted cats to human settlements?A.Other cats.B.Warmth.C.Humans.D.Food.8.What causes a problem for the theory that cats were domesticated like wolves were?A.Cats were not friendly to people.B.Cats were not as fierce as wolves.C.Cats had the characteristic of independence.D.Cats showed cleverness when they were hunting.语篇解读:关于野生动物的驯化,常见的观点是:早期人类捕捉野生动物并驯养它们;最近的研究显示,在人类驯养野生动物的过程中,动物也起着积极的作用。答案及剖析:5.B细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句中的domestication was not simply something people did to animalsthe animals played an active part in the process.可知,动物在被人类驯化的过程中也起着积极的作用。6.A推理判断题。从文中第三段可知,人类驯化那些愿意成为家养的动物。这个过程更像是与舞伴一起跳舞,而非人类战胜动物。由此可见,在野生动物的驯化过程中,人类和动物是亲近的。7.D推理判断题。由最后一段可知,古埃及人开始农业耕种,老鼠开始聚集在他们储存粮食的地方,野猫也因此聚集于此捕杀老鼠。可见,吸引猫到人类聚居地可能的原因是猫寻找食物,即老鼠。8.C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Wildcats dont share hunting and feeding areas,and they dont live close to people.可知,野猫不会共享捕猎和觅食地,它们和人类住得并不近。这和第二段中的最新研究表明的“人类和一些后来被驯化的野生动物住得很近”相矛盾,即猫拥有独立的个性这一点使这一理论的合理性受到了挑战。.语法填空(2018辽宁丹东五校联考)A team of scientists from Ohio State University did tests on 33 volunteers and found that people who exercised while listening to music did much 1.(well) on language ability tests than without music.The volunteers said they 2.
