问题   Many dog owners who talk to their dogs are convinced that their words are being understood. It【C1】________they may be right. A study at Emory University has found that dogs have a【C2】________understanding of words,  are able to distinguish words they have heard【C3】________from those they haven’t, and are【C4】________to try to understand what is being said to them.
  Twelve dogs were【C5】________by their owners to take back two objects【C6】________the objects’ names-one soft toy and one rubber toy. The dogs were then【C7】________into an FMRI scanner and had their brain【C8】________monitored while their owners said the names of each toy as they held【C9】________up. As a control, the owner then spoke gibberish words, 【C10】________"bobbu" and "bodmicke", then held up novel objects like a hat or a doll.
  They found【C11】________there was more activation in the auditory (听觉的) regions of the dogs’ brains when they reacted【C12】________the novel words, suggesting that they sensed that【C13】________owners wanted them to understand【C14】________they were saying, and were 【C15】________to do so.
  "We expected to see that dogs neutrally discriminate【C16】________words that they know and words that they【C17】________,"said researcher Ashley Prichard, a PhD candidate in Emory University’s department of psychology. "What’s surprising is that the result is【C18】________ to that of research on humans—people【C19】________show greater neural activation for known words【C20】________novel words."
【C2】

选项 A、basic
B、bad
C、clean
D、major

答案A

解析 上文已经证实狗能听懂主人的话,下文又提及它们能够区分它们听过的单词和没听过的单词A.basic意为“基本的”;bad意为“坏的,不好的”;clean意为“干净的”;major意为“主要的”。由此可以判断,它们对单词应该是有一个基本理解,所以答案为A.basic。
