Dogs, man’s best friends, have a clear strategy for dealing with angry owners—they look away.
(19) New research shows that dogs limit their eye contact with angry humans. The scientists suggest this may be an attempt to calm humans down. This behavior may have evolved as dogs gradually learned they could benefit from avoiding conflicts with humans.
To conduct the tests, the University of Helsinki researchers trained 31 dogs to rest in front of a video screen. Facial photos of dogs and humans were displayed on the screen for 1.5 seconds. They showed threatening, pleasant and neutral expressions. Nearby cameras tracked the dogs’ eye movements.
Dogs in the study looked most at the eyes of humans and other dogs to sense their emotions. (20) When dogs looked at expressions of angry dogs, their eyes rested more on the mouth, perhaps to interpret the threatening expressions. And when looking at angry humans, they tended to turn away their gaze.
Dogs may have learned to detect threat signs from humans and respond by trying to make peace, according to researcher Sanni Somppi. Avoiding conflicts may have helped dogs develop better bonds with humans.
(21) The researchers also note that dogs scan faces as a whole to sense how people are feeling. Instead of focusing on a given feature, they suggest this indicates that dogs aren’t sensing emotions from a single feature, but piecing together information from all facial features just as humans do.
Question 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
19. What do dogs do when they are faced with angry humans?
20. What does a dog do when it sees the expressions of angry dogs?
21. How does a dog sense? people’s? feelings?
选项
A、It turns to its owner for help.
B、It turns away to avoid conflict.
C、It looks away and gets angry too.
D、It focuses its eyes on their mouths.
答案
D
解析
浏览四个选项,从选项中的turns to,turns away,looks away,focuses等动词可推测,此题与某动物的行为举止有关。题干问的是当狗看到愤怒的狗的表情时,它会做什么。短文中提到当看到愤怒的狗的表情时,它们会将目光更多地停留在嘴上,可能是去解读这种威胁的表情。rest on与focus on属于同义转换,故答案为D。A项(它会向主人求助),C项(它转移目光,也变得愤怒)文中均未提及,故排除。B项(它转过脸来避免冲突)与原文内容不符,原文说的是当狗看到人生气的时候,它们会转过脸不再看,故排除。
