What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.
The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets ─ to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

【文章大意】本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了一项关于猫狗相处的研究报告，大意是说明科学家们研究发现：猫和狗能否和谐相处主要由它们最初在一起的年龄来决定。尽管如此，它们有和谐相处的可能，其结论是猫狗学会了对方的语言，对对方有了更多的了解，就可以和睦相处。由此推断，我们人与人之间也应当可以学会和睦相处。那么我们人类能否借鉴它们的关系呢！
31．【答案】D
【命题立意】词义猜测题。
【解题思路】Swimmingly所在句子的意思是：很有可能这两种宠物相处的很甜蜜。由此可知swimmingly与smoothly意思相同。由本句的前句两句“…they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success”的逻辑关系，特别是new一词，我们知道，两者“相处得好”；再由本句后面一句中的a positive relationship between their cat and dog可以进一步确定猫狗“相处得好”，故选D。
32．【答案】C
【命题立意】推理判断题。
【解题思路】根据第二自然段中的One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.一句可知本题选C。
33．【答案】C
【命题立意】细节理解题。
【解题思路】根据第四自然段的前两句可知奇怪的是：他们（猫和狗）学会了讲对方的语言(body signals)，即懂得对方的身体信号，可知本题选C。
34．【答案】B
【命题立意】段落大意题。
【解题思路】第四自然段中说明毛和狗开始学习对方的语言，所以它们并不是像我们想象的那样水火不容，而是越来越有更多的共同点，选B。由第4段第4句可知。只是用“are less different (不同点更少了)”替代了原文的“have more in common (共同点更多了)”；用同义词thought来替代suspected。可知本题选B
