问题     Many dog owners regard their furry friends as their children, and talk to them【C1】______
    Now, a new study reports that dogs, like infants, are able to study minor【C2】______in human communication and【C3】______interpret intent.
    Researchers from Hungary【C4】______the study in the journal Current Biology.
    They presented dogs【C5】______two videos. In the first, a woman says, "Hi, dog," while looking【C6】______at the camera. The woman then turns her head toward a container.
    The dog follows her【C7】______
    However, when the woman is looking down,【C8】______at the camera, as she says, "Hi, dog," the dog does not follow her【C9】______gaze.
    Dogs pick up on the【C10】______difference in the woman’s behavior in the two situations, said Adam Miklosi, a【C11】______biologist at Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest and one of the study’s authors.
    The study shows that dogs can【C12】______human behavior, he said, and understand when they are being【C13】______
    Other studies have shown that infants have the same【C14】______to interpret an adult’s intent.
    "Dogs are【C15】______similar to a 6-month-old, to a 1-year-old," Dr. Miklosi said, "though we don’t really know how the dog mind is dealing【C16】______the problem, and it’s probably different from an infant."
    Dogs presumably gained this ability【C17】______generations of domestication.
    "Being in a human family gives the dogs the ability to interact in a【C18】______way," Dr. Miklosi said. "You can really treat your dog as a sort of infant,【C19】______you wouldn’t really do【C20】______a goat or another domesticated animal."
【C10】

选项 A、potential
B、subtle
C、tricky
D、substantial

答案B

解析 形容词辨析题。根据上文,两个录像中妇女的表现只有非常细小的差别,然而狗能够发现这个差别,并做出不同的反应。因此,此处应该选subtle(细微的)。potential:潜在的;tricky:棘手的,狡猾的,巧妙的;substantial:充足的,大量的。
